    Abstract: A system for automatically milking animals comprising an area where the animals can move about freely. A milking robot automatically connects teat cups to an animal's teats in a milking compartment having a concentrate station. The entire system, including the concentrate station, is computer controlled. Doors in the milking compartment automatically open for the entry and departure of animals. An automatic cleaning member cleans the animal's teats and an automatic cleaning system automatically cleans the entire milk line system or a selected part thereof. The herd is divided by a computer into milk production groups with a computer defined priority criteria for admitting a specific group of animals into the milking compartment prior to another group. Each robot arm is controlled by three parallelogram structures in series, each being separately controlled by a piston and cylinder unit or an electromotor, the lowermost structures being capable of extending teat carriers under the cows udder, the forward structure, when so extended, being at an angle of roughly 45.degree. and the aft structure being at an angle of roughly 60.degree.. Retractable cables connect each teat cup to a teat cup carrier. Each teat cup is connected from its upper aspect by a cable to a spool mounted on the upper side of the milking compartment, each spool being computer controlled by an electromotor to retain the teat cups in upright positions after their disconnection from the teats when being retracted to the teat carriers.

    Abstract: An apparatus for automatically milking animals provided with one or more automatic milking robots, teat cups and milking compartments. The teat cups are disposed on a carrier of a milking robot arm so as to be in their inoperative position, inclined relative to the vertical and when being connected to a teat of an animal to be milked, the teat cups are moved from their inclined positions into substantially vertical positions. The carrier includes a box-shaped housing for each teat cup, and each housing contains tubes providing a passageway for the pulsating vacuum and a further passageway for milk received from a teat wherein the passageways as a whole have U-shaped configuration within their housing, the "U" portion being composed of a relatively flexible material whereas the portion of the passageways between the "U" and the teat cup is composed of a relatively stiff material and is movable so as to extend from and be drawn into the corresponding housing. Each milking compartment has a dung gutter and a dung collecting member that in its upper aspect bears against the rear of an animal in the compartment and which is movable within limits with the animal. The collecting member includes a tracking device for tracking movements which communicates with a milking robot disposed in the compartment to cause the milking robot to move in a manner the that conforms to the animal's movements.

    Abstract: An apparatus for milking animals, such as cows, comprising at least one milking parlor including at least one milking robot for automatically connecting teat cups to the teats of an animal to be milked, automatically milking this animal, and automatically disconnecting the teat cups from the animal's teats. The apparatus is further provided with at least two detectors for determining the positions of the animal's teats, which detectors are fixedly mounted relative to the milking parlor so as to be movable in their own housings whereby they each scan a sector which includes the foremost teats of the animal. Each detector is protected by a dome-shaped filter which is transparent to signals received by the detectors for locating the animal's teats. A spray cleaning device mounted on a framework defining the milking parlor selectively sprays a fluid to clean each dome-shaped filter.

    Abstract: A milking pulsator comprises a housing, forming a chamber, in which a vacuum passage opens via a first opening. A pulsation channel to be connected to at least one teat cup communicates with the chamber and with atmosphere via a second opening. Valve means are arranged to close and open said first and second openings. Each valve means comprises a membrane, and a pivoted member, the membrane being attached between the pivoted member and the housing. The pivoted members are journalled in the housing for pivotal motion back and forth between closing positions, at which said openings are covered by the membranes of the valve means, and opening positions, at which said openings are uncovered. In addition, adjustment means are adapted to adjust the pivoted members of the valve means such that the first opening is closed when the second opening is uncovered and vice versa.
