A milk conduit, that connects to a teatcup to be attached to a teat of an animal to be milked, includes a first end portion defining a first end and configured to be connected to the teatcup, a second end portion defining a second end, and a conduit portion located between the first end portion and the second end portion. The milk conduit defines a milk channel extending through the first end portion, the conduit portion and the second end portion. The first end portion is received in an opening extending through a bottom wall of the teatcup. The first end portion includes a first circumferential groove configured that engages in the bottom wall of the teatcup.

An exchangeable expendable part of a milking arrangement includes an identification tag with data by which a model or a manufacturing date of the exchangeable expendable part is uniquely identified. The tag is readable by a reader arranged to repeatedly read the tag and to forward the readings to a computer system, whereby the computer system identifies the model and/or a manufacturing date of the part based on the readings; and, in response to the identified model and/or manufacturing date, i) alerts an operator, ii) monitors and/or controls the milking arrangement, and/or iii) makes the model and/or the manufacturing date of the part available to an operator. Exchangeable expendable parts include teat cup liners, cartridges including teat cup liners, and milk or vacuum tubes connected to teat cups.

A milking liner includes an integrated short air tube and short milk tube. In one configuration, the pulsation air is delivered through the bead of the milking liner directly inside the shell through a plurality of outlets. The disclosure also provides alignment features that assist the person assembling a milking liner and shell. The features limit rotation between the liner and the shell. The liner includes a short air tube that extends beyond a short milk tube with each having a sealing bead. The sealing beads are offset from each other.

A teatcup liner comprises an upper mouthpiece, an intermediate barrel and a lower connecting tube. The upper mouthpiece further comprises a mouthpiece transition, a mouthpiece lip, and a groove formed in an outer surface of the upper mouthpiece. The intermediate barrel extends along an axial direction for receiving a teat inserted axially thereinto through said mouthpiece. An inner dimension of the upper mouthpiece defines a cavity bore and the groove is located substantially in line with the largest diameter of the cavity bore.
摘要:
A teatcup and a cartridge to be attached to a teat of an animal to be milked. The cartridge includes a sleeve having an upper end and a lower end, and a teatcup liner mounted in the sleeve and having an inner space for receiving the teat. A pulsation chamber is provided between an inner side of the sleeve and an outer side of the teatcup liner. The teatcup liner includes an upper end portion located at the upper end of the sleeve, a barrel portion and a lower end portion extending beyond the lower end of the sleeve. The lower end portion forms an end nozzle beyond the lower end of the sleeve. The end nozzle has a tapering external shape configured to be received in a milk conduit for transporting the milk from the cartridge to the milk conduit.
摘要:
This invention is related to a pneumatic mechanical milking system (1) for a dairy animal that allows reducing, inhibiting, and/or preventing infection by mastitis, with fungicide, anti-bacteria, anti-virus, and microbicide surface properties, wherein the system comprises at least one device (2) that connects the animal udder (3), that defines a cylindrical shape (4), where the said device defines different openings at its corresponding ends, an upper opening (5) of a larger diameter through which end the dairy animal udder is introduced, a lower end (6) with a smaller diameter, comparable to the upper end through which milk is extracted, and a lower angular end (7) of small diameter, formed by an expanded tubular section (8) connecting the system air supply, wherein said device (2) entire surface has a rugosity quality within a specific range and it is formed by a special alloy containing at least 50% copper; at least one extended membrane (9) in the sense of its main axis, with an upper end (10) with a lip (11) that externally fits into the device (2) upper opening (5), and a lower end (12) that goes through the device lower end (6) opening; a milk collector (13) that includes a cover (14) provided with at least four entries (15, 16, 17, 18), where at least one of the said entries connects with the expanded membrane lower end (12), wherein said cover also includes at least four air intakes (19, 20, 21, 22); the said collector and cover entire surface have a surface rugosity quality within a specific range, and the said surface is formed by a special alloy with at least 50% copper content; and at least one longitudinal connector (23) to channel air which, at the one end (24) connects the device (2) extended tubular section (8) and, on the other end (25), it connects a collector (13) air intake. The invention also includes a procedure to implement the said pneumatic mechanical system to milk a dairy animal, as well as the use of the said mechanical system and device in traditional and/or organic dairy plants.

摘要:
A teatcup liner, for use in a method of providing enhanced teat massage during a milking operation, includes a cross-sectional shape defining plural corner portions and plural side portions with a first side portion being a weak side and each remaining side portion being a strong side; with the weak side having a greater flexibility than each strong side such that during a collapse phase, the collapse of the weak side occurring first and being greater than the collapse of each strong side creates an asymmetric pressure distribution with a greater pressurized area resulting in a prolonged contact surface against the teat end across a first surface region of the cross-sectional shape opposite the weak side as compared to a remainder of the cross-sectional shape, the increased pressurized area across the first surface region providing an enhanced teat massage during the collapse phase.
