摘要:
A camera cleaning system for a milking system is provided, which milking system comprises a moving arrangement (19), a plurality of milking stalls (19a) arranged thereon for housing a plurality of animals (15) during milking thereof. A robot (10) is arranged for performing an animal related operation with respect to the animals in the milking stalls passing by the robot, and a camera (14) in response to signals from which the robot is configured to move. A cleaning arrangement (17) is arranged to clean the lens arrangement of the camera according to a first cleaning scheme. A rinsing arrangement is arranged to clean the lens arrangement of the camera according to a second cleaning scheme. The cleaning according to the first cleaning scheme is more time consuming than the cleaning according to the second cleaning scheme. Control means (18) are arranged to control the cleaning arrangement and the rinsing arrangement such that the cleaning according to the first cleaning scheme is performed more rarely than the cleaning according to the second cleaning scheme.

The present invention relates to a rotary parlour arranged to house animals (4) to be milked. The parlour comprises an annular rotary platform (1), at least one milking stall (3) defined by at least one side wall element (2) and a storing device (8) adapted to hold teat cups (9) in a parking position. The rotary parlour also comprises restricting means (8a, 13a, 16a) adapted to restrict the mobility of the animal (4) in the milking stall in a manner such that a free space (12) is created between the animal (4) and a side wall element (2) in a part of the milking stall (3). Said free space (12) is used by a robot arm (10) when it fetches a teat cup in the storing device and attach it to a teat of the animal (4) in the milking stall (3).

The invention relates to a scraping device (14) for removing objects, such as manure (28), from a floor surface (1 c) of a rotary milking platform (1). The scraping device (14) comprises a scraper (18) and a suspension device adapted to support the scraper (18). The suspension device is adapted to support the scraper (18) in a first position adjacent to the floor surface (1c) of the platform and, when an object on the floor surface (1c) hits the scraper, to move the scraper (18) from the first position to a second position, in which the scraper is pressed against the floor surface (1c) with a force.

摘要:
An apparatus for cleaning and pre-milking a teat of a milking animal prior to the milking animal being milked comprises a teat cleaning and pre-milking device (51) having cleaning means and pre-milking means, wherein, during cleaning and pre-milking, the teat of the animal is exposed to the cleaning and pre-milking means. The apparatus comprises further means (60; 84) for establishing that milk is actually extracted from the teat of the milking animal during the cleaning and pre-milking, means (62; 84) for measuring a quality, preferably a somatic cell count value, of the milk extracted from the teat of the animal during the cleaning and pre-milking, means for comparing the measured quality of the milk with a reference quality value, and means for indicating, depending on the comparison, whether or not milk drawn from the teat of the animal during a subsequent milking should be mixed with milk drawn from another animal.
