TECHNICAL AREA

The invention relates to a method for access control and tank monitoring for a milk chamber according to the preamble of claim 1 and an operating system for performing the method according to the preamble of claim 6 and a milk chamber with an operating system, wherein the milk chamber at a milk producer (farmer) or Milk suppliers is set up.

STATE OF THE ART

The milk produced by the dairy producer or provided by the dairy supplier must be quantified, sampled in terms of quality data and transported to a dairy for further processing. In the following, the milk supplier should also be read under the term milk producer. The collection and transfer of the milk from the delivery containers or tanks of the milk producer into a collection tank of the milk collection vehicle and its transport in the dairy or in a milk collection point by means of a so-called Milchsammelwagens. This milk cart has an acceptance system with a measuring system and a control and data acquisition unit. Among other things, the measuring system takes over the transfer of the milk from the delivery containers of the milk producer to a collection tank of the milk collection vehicle, the quantity collection during the transfer (determination of the transferred volume of milk largely exempted from gas components) and a milk sampling representative of the transferred milk quantity (eg analysis of fat content , Germ count, inhibitors). The control of the measuring system and a data acquisition with regard to all relevant data or parameters concerning the milk takes place via the control and data acquisition unit. Data collection units or devices of the type in question that are on the market are well known. These are z. To: DiCo700 from Schwarte Jansky, Emsdetten; KMD 800 from KMD-Systeme GmbH, Emsdetten; MAK 3003 of the company Bartec Benke, Hamburg. A list in Milchsammelwagen used sampling equipment can be found z. More colorful:

The dairy truck data collection device may, if desired, typically communicate with a dairy server or external data collection unit. In this case, all data that is stored during the transfer of the milk, when filling the sample bottles and during operation of the data acquisition device, so-called generator-specific acquisition data, transmitted. From the server of the dairy reference information, so-called generator-specific reference data, on the data collection device of the milk collection vehicle be retransferred: z. Eg supplier number, GPS coordinates (for automatic recognition of the supplier number via GPS), average milk quantity of the last delivery quantities (for presetting of the sampling device in the milk collection vehicle) Name and address data.

For milk producers who produce quantities of milk during the collection period that require storage in so-called milk pans or tanks, these storage containers are usually located in a so-called milk chamber. Only persons have access to this milk room through a milk chamber door, which is involved in the production of the milk supplied there and / or with milk collection (eg driver of the milk collection vehicle). The access control takes place via known authentication means (eg keys) or the milk chamber door is always or only for the transfer period not locked.

The prior art briefly described above is based on an operating and monitoring system whose control and monitoring parameters or data are stored, stored and maintained in the milk collection vehicle or on the server of the dairy. Thus, these parameters and data, remote from the dairy of the dairy producer, are outsourced and inaccessible to the dairy farmer or the driver of the dairy wagon on-site. This is where the present invention begins.

It is an object of the invention, starting from the vorg. The prior art, milk collection and sampling in the milk chamber on the part of the producer more transparent, safer and easier to make.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This object is achieved by a method having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the method according to the invention are the subject of the associated subclaims. An operating system for a milk chamber for carrying out the method is the subject of the independent claim 6. Advantageous embodiments of the operating system according to the invention are described in the associated subclaims. A milk chamber with an operating system according to at least one of claims 6 to 12 is the subject of claim 13.

• • Die Milch eines Milch-Erzeugers oder Milch-Lieferanten wird in einer Milchkammer in wenigstens einem Anlieferungstank bevorratet und gekühlt.
• • Die beim Milch-Erzeuger oder Milch-Lieferanten in dem wenigstens einen Anlieferungstank bereitgestellte Milch wird in einen Sammeltank eines Milchsammelwagens überführt und erfasst und es werden dabei erzeugerspezifische Erfassungsdaten ermittelt und im Milchsammelwagen in einer Steuerungs- und Datenverarbeitungs-Einheit gespeichert.
• • Die erfasste Milch wird mittels des Milchsammelwagens in eine Molkerei oder Milchsammelstelle verbracht und die erzeugerspezifischen Erfassungsdaten werden an eine externe Datenerfassungs-Einheit der Molkerei oder Milchsammelstelle übermittelt und dort gespeichert und aktualisiert.
• • Die in der der externen Datenerfassungs-Einheit aktualisierten erzeugerspezifischen Erfassungsdaten werden im Bedarfsfalle an den Milchsammelwagen rückübermittelt und dienen dort als erzeugerspezifische Referenzdaten der nachfolgenden Erfassung der Milch beim Milch-Erzeuger oder Milch-Lieferanten.

The invention is based on a known method, which is characterized by the following steps:

• • The milk of a milk producer or milk supplier is stored in a milk chamber in at least one delivery tank and cooled.
• • The milk provided to the milk producer or milk supplier in the at least one delivery tank is transferred to a collection tank of a milk collection vehicle and recorded, and in this case generator-specific acquisition data are determined and stored in the milk collection vehicle in a control and data processing unit.
• • The collected milk is transported to a dairy or milk collection center by means of the milk collection vehicle and the specific data for the collection is transmitted to an external data collection unit of the dairy or milk collection center where it is stored and updated.
• • The generator-specific acquisition data updated in the external data collection unit are, if required, returned to the milk collection vehicle where they serve as generator-specific reference data for subsequent milk collection at the milk producer or milk supplier.

The inventive idea is to make the allocation of the customer number of the milk producer or the milk supplier clearly and independently of GPS reception and reference data and the transfer of milk and access to the (the) delivery tank (s) only to allow milk to be stored according to the instructions. These requirements are then adequately met when the milk has been stored within a so-called tank monitor function, implemented in the access control and data acquisition unit, between a predetermined minimum and a predetermined maximum temperature and when exceeding these limit temperatures, the excess duration a defined and does not exceed the configured time span.

If this tank monitor function in the above expression is not provided because the relevant measuring devices are not installed, then the inventive method is also feasible in the core, if an external tank monitor, for example, only signals that the milk provided was stored well or poorly. This information is then used for access control.

Furthermore, the invention ensures that only the actual tank contents, d. H. the milk volume currently provided in the delivery containers is communicated to the sampling device in the metering system of the milk collection vehicle, whereby very accurate settings for a proper, representative filling of the sample bottle can be made. This approach, which differs significantly from the prior art, requires corresponding measuring devices for determining the respective milk volume in the at least one delivery tank.

However, the method according to the invention can also be carried out if the aforementioned measuring devices are not provided for determining the respective milk volume. In this case, the relevant generator-specific acquisition data are determined from the history of the delivery quantities stored in the access control and data acquisition unit. For this purpose, an average value from the past z. B. last 3 supply quantities and transmitted to the sampling device in the measuring system of the milk collection vehicle, whereby the settings for a proper, representative filling of the sample bottle can be made. Here, a calculated average value calculation is used whose formation is sufficiently known.

Tank monitoring data is stored on the milking van's data logger and then stored on the dairy server. The farmer is given an overview of the delivered milk quantities or milk volumes and information about the technical condition of his or her delivery tank (cooling, stirring, cleaning). In this case, the previously practiced data acquisition and the control of the measuring system, starting from the data collection device of the milk collection vehicle, continue to run unchanged, with a redundant data collection is excluded.

• • Eine beim Milch-Erzeuger oder Milch-Lieferanten außerhalb der Milchkammer angeordnete Zugangskontroll- und Datenerfassungs-Einheit ist so eingerichtet, dass sie Tankdaten als Tankinformationsdaten, Tanküberwachungsdaten und Tankvorgabedaten speichert.
• • Der Zugang zu dem wenigstens einen Anlieferungstank in der Milchkammer und die Überführung der Milch aus dem wenigstens einen Anlieferungstank in den Sammeltank über eine Milchkammertür 32 werden nur dann zugelassen, wenn die Lagerung der bereitgestellten Milch derart erfolgt ist, dass die diesbezüglich in der Zugangskontroll- und Datenerfassungs-Einheit abgelegten Tanküberwachungsdaten den definierten Tankvorgabedaten entsprechen.
• • Die Tanküberwachungsdaten werden an die Steuerungs- und Datenerfassungs-Einheit übermittelt und von dort an die externe Datenerfassungs-Einheit übermittelt und in dieser gespeichert.

The object underlying the invention is achieved if the following method steps are provided in the method of the generic type:

• • An access control and data collection unit located at the milk producer or milk supplier outside the milk chamber is set up to store tank data as tank information data, tank monitoring data and tank preset data.
• • The access to the at least one delivery tank in the milk chamber and the transfer of the milk from the at least one delivery tank into the collection tank via a milk chamber door 32 shall be authorized only if the storage of the milk provided has been carried out in such a way that it is stored in the access control and data collection unit Tank monitoring data correspond to the defined tank specification.
• • The tank monitoring data is transmitted to the control and data acquisition unit and transmitted from there to the external data collection unit and stored in it.

An advantageous embodiment of the method provides that the access to the milk chamber after entering a unique associated with the milk producer or milk supplier authentication codes in the access control and data acquisition unit or in an access control element, such as a push-button takes place , The authentication code is displayed to the driver of the milk collection vehicle via the control and data acquisition unit. The unambiguous assignment of the authentication code to a customer number of the milk producer or milk supplier, a misallocation, as it is possible, for example, via the assignment to GPS data, avoided and it is thereby made the milk intake safer.

According to a further embodiment of the method, it is provided that the setting of a sampling in the milk collecting vehicle for obtaining a representative milk sample in dependence on the actually provided in the at least one delivery tank milk volume. As a result, the method according to the invention dissolves from the previous practice of discontinuing or making the current sampling dependent on the delivery quantity or the delivery volume of the preceding delivery. The method according to the invention thus significantly improves the representativeness of the sampling.

Another embodiment of the method proposes that the conditions for access to the milk chamber according to the invention are overridden by a release code to be entered into the access control and data acquisition unit and provided by a milk producer or dairy supplier advisor and that access to the milk chamber under these conditions is logged in the control and data acquisition unit and transmitted to the external data collection unit. As a result of these measures, the access control and tank monitoring according to the invention can be overridden in a controlled manner. This is indicated, for example, when access to the milk chamber is initially denied by erroneous measurements and / or misinformation and, upon visual inspection and / or specific inquiries by the adviser, results in milk being properly supplied or still being marketable.

If the access control and data acquisition unit is set up, as it is also proposed, that current tank data can be transmitted by email and / or SMS to the milk producer or milk supplier via a modem, then the milk producer can intervene promptly if, for example, tank specification data was exceeded inappropriately and / or a failure of the cooling system or agitator was reported.
