Abstract: The invention refers to a device and a method for carrying a milking member (1), which includes at least one teacup (3) and which is connected to a milking machine (5) via a flexible conduit member (6). A support element (10) is fixedly mounted in or at a milking box (13) arranged to receive an animal to be milked. An arm arrangement (9) is pivotably connected to the support element and arranged to support the milking member at least in connection with the application of the teacup to a teat of the animal. The arm arrangement is movable from a first position, in which the milking member is located beside the animal, to a second position, in which the milking member is located below the animal. The device includes a first part arranged to lock the milking member in relation to the arm arrangement in order to facilitate the application of the teacup to the teat.

Abstract: The invention refers to a device for carrying a milking member, which includes four teatcups (3) and is connectable to a milking machine (5) via a flexible conduit member (6). A support element (10) is fixedly mounted at a milking box (13) for an animal to be milked and positioned with the head at the front. An arm arrangement (9) is pivotably connected to the support element and arranged to support partly the milking member during milking of the animal when the teatcups are applied to a respective teat. The arm arrangement (9) is movable from a first position beside the animal to a second position below the animal. The arm arrangement is fixedly connected to the flexible conduit member (6) at a distance from the milking member in such a way that the milking member is partly movable in relation to the arm arrangement. The device includes a force-generating member for generating, during milking, a force acting on the arm arrangement in a forward direction (x). This force is transferred to the teatcup via the conduit member.

Abstract: A method and device for controlling a milking processing system wherein milk is extracted at each teat of a mammal, such as a cow, and subsequently stored for a longer period. Prior to storing of the milk, it is at least partially or wholly filtered in the connecting conduit to the storage. The filter with any residue which may have remained behind thereon is carried outside the conduit and subsequently detected. A control signal is generated based on a predetermined quantity or quality of the residue of the animal, such that diverse control functions can be started on the basis of varying signals.

Abstract: Many cows are simultaneously loaded onto a stationary car that is thereafter moved to a milking station. The time for the car to move from a loading station to the milking station exceeds the time while the car is at the milking station. The distance between the loading and milking stations exceeds the length of each of several such cars that traverse a path between the stations. The cars move from the milking station to an animal discharging station and then back to the loading station. Teats are cleaned and dried at stations between the loading and milking stations. Each car is broadside of the path at the loading and discharging stations so the cows have equal access to and from stalls of cars at the loading and discharging stations. Each car includes an excrement catcher that is raised as the cows enter the stalls. Two such paths share an operator at a loading area and another operator at two side-by-side milking areas.

Abstract: A milking plant for cows is provided with a milking machine comprising teat cups, which are connected separately to the teats of an animal. The milk obtained from each udder quarter is conveyed through a separate line to a milk measuring device. The milk measuring device includes four milk meters, one for each teat cup, having separate discharge lines coupled to common discharge lines which connect with a circulation line or loop that includes a bulk milk cooling tank, a two-speed or variable speed pump, and a plurality of heat exchangers for precooling the milk received from the common discharge lines before it is received in the bulk milk cooling tank and to recirculate and cool the milk received in the bulk milk cooling tank. After the milk has been discharged from the bulk milk cooling tank and the system is to be disinfected, washed and rinsed, the heat exchangers being used in a heat pump arrangement, can heat the fluid therein as selected and desired for sanitizing the system.

Abstract: A milking system for dairy animals comprising individual teat cups attachable to the respective teats of the animal's udder, a measuring device to determine the volume of milk discharged from individual teats, a central vacuum system to aid the discharge of the milk from the teats as well as to propel both the milk and the cleaning fluid through the system's fluid lines, a cooling tank, and an array of sensors to determine various parameters of the milk and milking system, including temperature sensors, milk conductivity sensors, air-to-milk ratio sensors, pressure sensors and fluid level sensors. The sensors are arranged at various points in the milking system, including in the individual teat cups, the milk measuring device and the discharge lines, and are optionally coupled to a central computer which controls both the individual components of the milking system and working parameters of the system as a whole, including an automatic cleaning system for cleaning the teat cups, fluid lines and cooling tank. The system diverts milk from the milk otherwise collected that has too high of a temperature or more than a predetermined conductivity indicating it may not have been produced in a healthy teat or udder.

Abstract: An indicating device for a milking apparatus indicates regular or irregular working of each of the four teat cups. The device is attached to a twin electro-pneumatic pulsator which comprises two vertical solenoid-operated units (20, 21, 22), each serving to expand and contract the expandable linings (2) of two teat cups respectively, by alternately admitting atmospheric pressure and vacuum pressure to the teat cups. The device consists of a transparent, hollow cylinder (31) horizontally positioned between the two valve units and pneumatically communicating at each end with the air inlet duct (27) of either valve unit, and of a free piston (33) reciprocatingly movable in the cylinder (31). The alternate change of air pressure in the inlet ducts drives the piston to and fro, and a difference in air pressure in the two ducts, as a result of the teat cups not working uniformly, is indicated by the distance at which the piston stops from the respective end of the cylinder during its reciprocating movement therein.
