本発明は食肉への検印捺印に係り、特に、不定形な動物
枝肉の大きさを判定し、その大きさに対応した法規定の
捺印部位に検印を捺印するのに好適な装置に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to stamping inspection stamps on meat, and in particular, determining the size of an irregularly shaped animal carcass, and determining the stamping area according to the law according to the size. The present invention relates to a device suitable for stamping a verification stamp on a paper.
獣医が合格と判断した食肉用枝肉に対して検印の捺印が
法律で義務付けられているが、捺印部位は動物の種類に
より決められており、豚枝肉の場合には、第３図に示す

の六箇所、また腹内側２５に一ケ所の合計上箇所となっ
ている。The law requires that a veterinarian affix an inspection stamp to a carcass that has been judged to be acceptable, but the location of the stamp is determined by the type of animal, and in the case of pig carcasses, as shown in Figure 3 , on the outside of each of the two pieces of the torso cut into two parts, hind limbs 19, belly 20, back 21, forelimbs 22, shoulders 23, neck 24
There are six locations in total, and one location on the ventromedial side 25.
枝肉の大きさは、常に、一定ではなく実際の作業では、
大きさの異なる枝肉がランダムに流れて来て人間が各々

の問題点があった。The size of the carcass is not always constant and in actual work,
Carcasses of different sizes come randomly, and a human visually judges the position of the mark corresponding to the size of each carcass and places the mark each time. There were the following problems when automating conventional work.
■分割された枝肉は後肢先端部がハンガーに引掛けられ
宙吊り状態でコンベアレールに沿って送られて来るが、
ハンガーは振り千秋に揺動およびハンガー取付金具の軸
心に対して回転してしまうので、吊るされている枝肉も
搬送中に同じように揺動および回転する。また、枝肉は
二分割されると三片の胴体にねじれを生じ、そのねじれ
は吊るした状態での下方側はど大きくなっている。これ
らの現象のために、枝肉の正確な大きさ判定と捺印部位
の位置決めが困難であった。■The tip of the divided carcass is hung on a hanger and sent along the conveyor rail in a suspended state.
Since the hanger constantly swings and rotates about the axis of the hanger mounting bracket, the hung carcass also swings and rotates during transportation. Also, when a carcass is split into two, the three pieces of the body are twisted, and the twist is larger on the lower side when suspended. Because of these phenomena, it has been difficult to accurately determine the size of the carcass and position the stamped area.
■実作業での捺印位置の分布を調べると、平均体長の枝

しまう。∎When we investigated the distribution of the marking positions in actual work, we found that the marking positions on the outside of the carcass for carcasses of average body length were distributed in the range shown by diagonal lines in Figure 4. Considering the body length variation of the carcass based on this distribution, as shown in Fig. 5, for the mark distribution 19a to 24a of the average body length Lavr, when the minimum body length L win, the mark distribution 1 is indicated by a broken line.
9b to 24b, and when the maximum body length L max is reached, the marking distribution becomes 19c to 24c, which is indicated by a two-dot chain line. In Fig. 5, the distribution of markings on the hind limbs 19a to 19 with respect to body length variations.
c overlaps in almost the same place, whereas forelimbs, shoulders,
Cervical seal distribution 22a to 22c, 23'a to 23c, 24
a to 23c are each independent. In other words, when automating the process of marking a carcass, if the marking position is limited based on the average body length of the carcass, the hind limbs will be within the marking range that matches the body length, even at the minimum and maximum body lengths, even if the body length varies. However, the forelimbs, shoulders, and head are completely out of the marking range that matches the body length at both the minimum and maximum body length.
腹および背部についても前肢・肩・頚部はど影響は大き
くないが、やはり、外れる傾向にある。As for the abdomen and back, the forelimbs, shoulders, and neck are not affected as much, but they still tend to come off.
本発明の目的は、姿勢が一定でなく、且つ、大きさが異
なる枝肉に対して姿勢を一定にしてがら大きさを判定し
、その大きさに対応した捺印部位に合わせて捺印ヘッド
の位置を設定した後、検印を捺印することにある。An object of the present invention is to determine the size of a carcass whose posture is not constant and whose size is different, while keeping the posture constant, and to position the marking head in accordance with the marking part corresponding to the size. After setting, a stamp of approval must be affixed.
上記目的は、下記の手段により達成される。 The above object is achieved by the following means.
すなわち、

る。■In the body length determination section, the carcass moves to a fixed position, and when it stops, the carcass is pressed against the partition plate with a pusher to correct its posture and position. After the positioning is completed, a plurality of sensors arranged vertically at regular intervals detect the position of the part of the carcass near the tip of the forelimb. This part is used as a feature point that can represent the body length of the carcass. On the other hand, since the part of the carcass near the tip of the hind limb is to be hung on the hanger, the part to be hung on the hanger should be determined as the reference point. By determining the vertical distance from this reference point to the feature point, a value close to the body length of the carcass can be found.

During the transportation process, the guide plate 11 aligns the orientation of the carcass 1 with respect to the transportation direction in a fixed position guidance section, and at the same time corrects the twist of the body of the carcass 1. It is transported while ensuring a constant interval that allows the tip of the partition plate 11 to enter sufficiently. When the tip of the partition plate 11 enters between the bodies, the carcass 1 is separated to both sides of the partition plate 110 as the conveyance progresses, and when the carcass 1 is conveyed to a predetermined position of the body length determination section 8, it stops.

肢近傍部によって遮光されているセンサがわかる。(2) In the body length determining section 8, when the carcass 1 is conveyed and stopped, the bushers 13a press the body of the carcass 1 against the partition plate 11 from both sides of the partition plate 11 to position it. Once the positioning is complete,
Based on the synchronization signal, the output of each sensor of the transmission type optical sensor 14 at that time is taken in. In this embodiment, when the carcass 1 is positioned, the transmission type optical sensor 14 is installed at a position where one of the sensors is blocked from light by the vicinity of the tip of the forelimb of the carcass 1, and when the light is blocked, the light is not received. A transmissive optical sensor that is turned on at the side is used. Therefore, based on the output status of the light receiving side of each sensor based on the synchronization signal, it is possible to know which sensor is shielded from light by the vicinity of the forelimb of the carcass 1 at that time.

個数が異なるので。In FIG. 6, a plurality of sensors are arranged vertically in the transmission type optical sensor 4 at a constant pitch P shorter than the width of the tip of the forelimb, and the thickness and height of the forelimb are determined with the upper end being the first sensor. Also, the number of sensors that are shielded from light differs depending on the location of the detected part.

形光センサー４の一番口センサまでの距離をＬｂとする
と、Ｌゎは一定値である。Assuming that the average distance of each shielded sensor from the first sensor is La, the sensors at the n-th pitch and the (n+1)th pitch from the first sensor are shielded. Furthermore, (n
+2) When the pitch sensor is also shielded from light, the general formula for calculating La is m I:1, where the number of exposed sensors is mo and the number of pitches is n.Furthermore, carcass 1 is transported suspended on hanger 2. However, if the tip of the hind leg of the carcass 1 is always hooked on the hanger 2, and the length of the hanger 2 and the height of the rail 5 are constant, the hook of the hanger 2 will be at the height from the floor of the carcass. It also remains constant,
This hook uses the part as a reference point 26. Letting Lb be the distance from the reference point 26 to the first sensor of the transmissive optical sensor 4, L is a constant value.
基準点２６から透過形光センサー４の遮光されたセンサ

ｂ ・＝ （２）となる
。このＬｂは枝肉１の基準点２６から前肢先端近傍の前
肢幅のほぼ中心までの距離でもある。If the average distance from the reference point 26 to the light-shielded sensor of the transmissive optical sensor 4 is L, then L = L a + L
b ・= (2). This Lb is also the distance from the reference point 26 of the carcass 1 to approximately the center of the width of the forelimb near the tip of the forelimb.
枝肉１の体長を後肢先端部から前肢先端部までの距離と
しているので、上記（２）式のＬの値は近似的に枝肉１
の体長を示すことになる。Since the body length of carcass 1 is the distance from the tip of the hind limb to the tip of the forelimb, the value of L in equation (2) above is approximately equal to carcass 1.
This indicates the body length of the body.

て枝肉１の体長が近似的に得られる。The general formula for calculating L from the above equations (1) and (2) is m
Since P and Lb are constants in I:1 (3), L can be found if m and n are known. In other words, the number m of sensors that are shielded from light
If it is known that the topmost sensor among the m sensors is the n-th pitch from the first sensor, the body length of the carcass 1 can be approximately obtained by equation (3).

■の高さレベル設定必要数に合わせておく。On the other hand, the body lengths of a large number of carcasses 1 are measured in advance, the body length distribution is statistically determined, and within the range of the distribution, the body lengths are officially classified into several stages. The number of sections should match the number required for setting the height level of the stamping head (2), which will be described later.
体長判定部８では求めたＬが、上記のどの体長区分に相
当するかの判定までを行う。The body length determination section 8 determines which of the above body length categories the obtained L corresponds to.
