Abstract: A diaphragm valve for shutting off milk flow through a claw (13) of a vacuum driven milking machine has, in a preferred embodiment, a lever (5) linked (6), outside the milk flow, to the diaphragm (4), thereby avoiding any bushings which are prone to leakage. The lever (5) can be swung manually to a position holding the diaphragm away from its seat thereby permitting milk flow. In the automatically closing embodiments, the lever is swung in this case against the bias of a spring (7) and is retained in this open position if the suction force acting on the diaphragm (4) and the link (6) is sufficient to overcome the bias of the spring (7), which will be the case when there is normal milk flow through the valve. Upon detachment of the tea from the animal's teat only air will flow through the valve, thereby reducing the suction force exerted on the link (6) and allowing the spring (7) to swing the lever away from its valve-open position to a diaphragm-release position where the air suction will pull the diaphragm to seal against its seat and cut off potentially contaminating air-flow through the system. This inventive principle can, for example, also be embodied in a rotary knob (21) linked to the diaphragm (4) and interacting with indined grooves (23) and springs (24) biasing the knob to advance to a diaphragm-release position when there is insufficient milk flow. Such a system is particularly useful in sheep or goat dairies where there is frequent attachment and detachment of the clusters.

Abstract translation: 在优选实施例中，用于切断通过真空驱动挤奶机的爪（13）的牛奶流动的隔膜阀具有在乳流外部连接到隔膜（4）的杠杆（5），从而 避免任何容易泄漏的衬套。 杠杆（5）可以手动摆动到将隔膜远离其座位的位置，从而允许牛奶流动。 在自动关闭实施例中，杠杆在这种情况下抵抗弹簧（7）的偏压摆动，并且如果作用在隔膜（4）和连杆（6）上的吸力足以克服 弹簧（7）的偏压，当正常的牛奶流过阀门时就是这种情况。 当茶从动物的乳头分离时，只有空气将流过阀门，从而减小施加在连杆（6）上的吸力并允许弹簧（7）使杠杆远离其阀打开位置摆动到隔膜 - 释放位置，空气吸力将拉动隔膜以密封隔膜，并切断通过系统的潜在的污染气流。 例如，本发明的原理还可以体现在连接到隔膜（4）的旋钮（21）中，并且与压入凹槽（23）的弹簧（24）相互作用，并且弹簧（24）偏置旋钮以前进到隔膜释放位置，当 牛奶流量不足。 这种系统对于群体经常附着和分离的绵羊或山羊乳制品特别有用。

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatic separation of foremilk and/or milk not suitable for consumption from the milk line system of a milking plant and an apparatus for carrying out said method. A separating device (44) is arranged at the ends of a milk line (52) and a test milk line (56), said milk lines being parallel. The separating device is designed with a damper means (48) attached to a cup (46). When milk is fed through the outlet (16), the cup (46) is filled up and its weight pivots the separating device from a first position, in which the inlet to a milk line (52) is closed by means of the damper mean, to a second position, in which the milk in cup is poured into a test milk line (56) and the damper means is lifted off the inlet (50|) to the milk line (52).

Abstract: A teatcup liner adapted to be mounted in a shell to form a teatcup to be applied to a teat of an animal, and a method of mounting a teatcup liner. The liner defines an inner space for receiving the teat and a longitudinal centre axis. The liner has a head portion, a tubular barrel portion and, a tubular lower portion defining a milk channel having a cross-section area perpendicular to the centre axis. The tubular lower portion has a primary engagement member to be engaged by a secondary engagement member of the shell. The liner includes a grip member extending from the tubular lower portion to be gripped by an operator when the liner is to be mounted. The grip member defines a force application zone on which a pulling force is to be applied and which seen along the centre axis is located within the cross-section area.

Abstract: A method and arrangement are provided for controlling the milking by a milking machine, which comprises at least one teat cup having a flexible teat receiving liner arranged inside a teat cup shell, wherein, during milking, a vacuum is applied to a lower part of the interior of the flexible teat receiving liner to draw milk from a teat received therein while the flexible teat receiving liner is periodically opened and collapsed by application of a pulsating massage vacuum between the flexible teat receiving liner and the teat cup shell. According to the invention a pressure sensor measures repeatedly a vacuum level in an upper part of the interior of the flexible teat receiving line, and means is provided for, depending on the repeatedly measured vacuum level, interrupting the periodic opening and collapsing of the flexible teat receiving liner by keeping the flexible teat receiving liner collapsed for a specific period of time.

Abstract: A method for controlling the milking by a milking machine includes, during an initial phase of the milking, increasing a milking vacuum and/or a maximum pulsation vacuum for the milking gradually from a first selected vacuum level (1L) towards a second selected vacuum level (2L) to thereby improve teat stimulation and decreasing the risk of a second milk letdown. When a second milk letdown (2ML) is detected, the maximum pulsation vacuum is preferably immediately lowered to a third selected vacuum level (3L), and is kept at that third selected vacuum level until a certain milk flow has been established, whereupon the pulsation vacuum level is then again increased gradually until the second selected vacuum level is reached.
