摘要:
A milking member for milking a teat of an animal to be milked, which milking member comprises a teat cup (1) that is connectable to a milk line (4), which teat cup is provided with a flexible, deformable liner (2) which is adapted to be alternately squeezed and reopened by means of changes in pressure to be realized by a pulsation line (5) that can also be connected to the teat cup (1). The space between the outer wall of the teat cup (1) and the liner (2) is partially filled with a filling material (12).
摘要:
A construction including an implement for milking animals, such as cows, has one or more milking boxes (1), at least one automatic feeding system (5), at least one animal identification system (11, 12) connected to a computer means (4) and one or more milking robots (6) for automatically connecting teat cups (16) to the teats of the animals. In the computer it is stored which animals proved to be difficult to milk in previous milkings. Said animals are milked or allowed access to a milking box (1) only or at least as much as possible during preferential hours, e.g. during daytime.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method of automatically milking animals with the aid of a construction including an implement for milking animals, such as cows, comprising a milking machine having one or more teat cups provided with a teat cup lining which separates the teat chamber from a chamber in the teat cup, in which an alternating underpressure can be applied, whereby, between the teat cup wall and the teat cup lining, a teat cup includes at least two mutually separated chambers, whilst an alternating underpressure can be applied in at least one of these chambers, whilst during milking:
during the suction stroke, the two chambers are kept at an underpressure, the value of which approximately corresponds to the underpressure in the milk line connected to the teat cup; during the idle stroke, the second (the lower) chamber is kept at atmospheric pressure and the first (the upper) chamber is kept at atmospheric pressure or, preferably, at a slight underpressure.
