Abstract: Liquid, such as milk, enters the sealed container from an inlet at the top of the container and exits through an outlet at the bottom of the container. The quantity of liquid in the container is sensed and a microprocessor calculates the total volume of liquid. During periods of low flow, such as at the beginning and at the end of the milking cycle, the outlet is automatically closed, partially or completely, by a motorized valve connected to the microprocessor, or by a weighted float situated within the container, so as to accumulate the liquid during those periods thereby enhancing the accuracy of the measurement.

Abstract translation: 液体，如牛奶，从容器顶部的入口进入密封容器，并通过容器底部的出口离开。 感测容器中的液体量，微处理器计算液体的总体积。 在低流量期间，例如在挤奶循环的开始和结束时，出口通过连接到微处理器的电动阀或位于容器内的加权浮子而被部分或完全地自动关闭，因此 为了在这些时间段期间积聚液体，从而提高了测量的准确性。
