    摘要: A method of milking an animal, in which method a movable milking platform is used. The method comprises the following steps: setting the movable milking platform in motion, allowing an animal access to the milking platform, supplying a sort of feed to an animal on the milking platform, subsequently allowing the animal exit from the milking platform, and milking the animal on the milking platform during a milking period. The method further comprises the step of providing the animal a span of time on the milking platform in which the animal is not milked, the span of time having a magnitude that amounts to at least approximately half the milking period. The speed of movement of the milking platform being selected at least partially on the basis of a feed consumption duration of an animal present on the milking platform, such that the span of time has such a magnitude that an animal is provided a sufficient time to substantially complete its feed consumption during their stay on the platform, said span of time being smaller than 75 minutes.

    摘要: An implement for milking animals comprises a milk box (1) including a milking robot (9) for automatically connecting teat cups (11) to, respectively disconnecting them from the teats of an animal, and for automatically milking this animal. Furthermore there are provided cleaning means for automatically cleaning the teats of the animal before the teat cups (11) are connected thereto. Also, the implement comprises means (14, 19) for automatically removing foremilk from the teats of the animal, which are activated before the teat cup (11) is connected for milking the usable milk of said animal. These automatically controlled tools (14, 19) can be constituted by a second group of teat cups (14) which can automatically be connected to, respectively disconnected from the teats of an animal, or by the cleaning means (19) themselves.

    摘要: The invention refers to a device for supporting a milking member in a milking stall (1) and to a milking stall arrangement. The milking member includes a claw (8), a number of teatcups (9) connected to the claw, and a long conduit member (11, 12) connecting the claw to a milk-receiving member (7). The stall includes an enclosing strucure (2) defining a space (3) for an animal to be milked, and a passage (4) permitting the animal to enter and/or exit the space. The device (15) includes an arm (16), which has a first end portion and a second end portion and is pivotable between an active milking position and a retracted position between milking operations. The arm includes means (25) for supporting the milking member in the active and inactive positions. First stop means (41, 23) defines the active position of the arm and second stop means (42, 23) defines the inactive position of the arm.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for determining the position of at least one teat of an udder of an animal for milking, comprising of: illuminating points on the udder with at least one directed light source in a predetermined pattern; detecting points illuminated with the light source in the pattern with recording means; determining position data of illuminated points from a detection of the recording means on the basis of triangulation; forming a three-dimensional representation of the udder from the position data and the pattern; recognizing the teat in the three-­dimensional representation; and determining the location of the teat on the basis of the recognition and with the position data.

    摘要: A device for automatically milking an animal, such as a cow. The device is provided with a milking parlour (1) and a milking robot comprising a robot arm construction for automatically connecting a teat cup to a teat of an animal (3) to be milked. The robot arm construction (3) is provided with a robot arm (4) for carrying a teat cup, which robot arm (4) can be pivoted under the udder of the animal. The robot arm construction is provided with a first robot arm construction portion (5), a second robot arm construction portion (6), a first horizontal axis (7) for enabling a pivoting movement of the first robot arm construction portion (5), and a second horizontal axis (8) by means of which the second robot arm construction (6) portion is pivotably connected to the first robot arm construction portion (5). The robot arm (4) is connected to the second robot arm construction portion (6).
