Opfindelsen angår et dyppeapparat ti I yverpleje og af den i krav l's indledning angivne art.The invention relates to a dipping apparatus for udder care and of the kind specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Et sådant dyppeapparat til at desinficere et koyvers patter, 5 efter at malkemaskinen er taget fra og/eller give disse et flydende plejemiddel. Til dette formål benyttes bægre, der indeholder plejemidlet, der skal efterfyldes fra en lagerbeholder og er udformet til at en patte kan dyppes deri. I denne forbindelse skal man passe på, at patterne dyppes så 10 vidt muligt fuldkomment ned i plejemidlet, men at dette ikke strømmer over bægerenden. Der forekommer problemer, når det endnu delvis fyldte bæger efter et yvers behandling skal stilles til side. Der skal generelt sørges for, at det i bægeret resterende plejemiddel ikke unyttigt strømmer ud på staldgulvet.Such a dipping apparatus for disinfecting the teat of a cow, after the milking machine has been taken off and / or given a liquid care agent. For this purpose, cups containing the care means to be replenished from a storage container and designed for a teat to be dipped therein are used. In this connection, care must be taken that the teats are completely immersed in the care means as far as possible, but that this does not flow over the cup end. Problems occur when the still partially filled cup after a udder treatment has to be set aside. In general, care must be taken to ensure that the remaining care product does not escape unnecessarily on the floor.

Et dyppeapparat af den indledningsvist omtalte art kendes fra US-A-3.828.776. Dette kendte dyppeapparat har et aflangt opad-til åbent bæger til at optage den patte, der skal desinficeres. I et midterområde af bægerets sidevæg er der tilvejebragt 20 en indløbs- og udløbsåbning for plejemidlet. En hul, vandret forløbende lagerbeholder til plejemidlet er anbragt vinkelret på den af bægerets sidevægge, der har åbningen. Lagerbeholderen har en lukket ydre og en åben indre ende, der via åbningen i bægerets sidevæg står i forbindelse med dette bæger. Ved an-25 vendelse af et sådant dyppeapparat vippes dette lidt, således at plejemidlet strømmer fra lagerbeholderen ind i bægeret.A dipping apparatus of the kind mentioned above is known from US-A-3,828,776. This known dipping apparatus has an elongated up-to-open cup for receiving the teat to be disinfected. In an intermediate region of the side wall of the cup, an inlet and outlet opening for the care means are provided. A hollow, horizontally extending storage container for the care means is disposed perpendicular to that of the cup side walls having the opening. The storage container has a closed outer and an open inner end which communicates with this cup via the opening in the side wall of the cup. When using such a dipping device, this is tilted slightly so that the care agent flows from the storage container into the beaker.

Dette er vigtigt, fordi patterne skal dyppes så fuldstændigt som muligt i plejemidlet. Ved denne vipning er der imidlertid risiko for, at dyppeapparatet vippes for meget, således at 30 plejemidlet løber ud af bægeret og ud på staldgulvet.This is important because the teats need to be dipped as completely as possible in the care product. However, in this tilt, there is a risk that the dipping device is tilted too much, so that the care product runs out of the cup and onto the stable floor.

Det er den foreliggende opfindelses formål at anvise et dyppeapparat til yverpleje, der uden risiko for overløb ved brug umiddelbart kan kobles til en lagerbeholder og ganske enkelt 35 betjenes ved vipning. Især skal dyppemidlet alene ved bægerets svingning til dets opretstående stilling kunne transporteres fra lagerbeholderen til bægeret og tilbage til lagerbeholde- 2It is an object of the present invention to provide a udder care dipping apparatus which can be immediately coupled to a storage container without risk of overflow and simply operated by tilting. In particular, the dipping agent should only be able to be transported from the storage container to the cup and back to the storage container only when the cup is swung to its upright position.

ren, uden at der til trods for det højere væskeniveau i lagei— beholderen er risiko for, at bægeret løber over. Det nye apparats totalhøjde skal endelig være så lille, at anvendelsen også ved forholdsvis lille afstand mellem patterne og gulvet 5 ikke giver nogen problemer.clean, without the risk of the cup overflowing, despite the higher liquid level in the storage container. Finally, the total height of the new appliance must be so small that the application even at relatively small distance between the teats and the floor 5 presents no problems.

For dyppeapparatet af den indledningsvist omtalte art tilgodeses dette ved, at det ifølge opfindelsen er ejendommeligt ved det i den kendetegnende del af krav 1 anførte.For the dipping apparatus of the type mentioned above, this is addressed by the fact that according to the invention it is peculiar to that of the characterizing part of claim 1.

10 Bægeret med påformet studs og ifølge opfindelsen kan også beskrives som et afvinklet, rørlignende, til begge sider åben forbindelsesstykke, hvis ene ende skal kobles lufttæt med lagerbeholderens åbning, og hvis anden ende er udformet som et 15 bæger, især med en tragtformet indsats.The cup with molded studs and according to the invention can also be described as an angled, tube-like, open-ended connection piece, one end of which is to be airtightly coupled to the opening of the storage container, and the other end of which is designed as a cup, especially with a funnel-shaped insert.

I givet fald udstyres tragten - således som det er sædvanligt ved et sådant bygningselement - med åbninger ved top- og bundområdet. Mindst ved topområdets omkreds skal tragten være 20 indpasset. 1 ufttæts1uttende i randen af bægerets topområde.If necessary, the funnel - as is customary with such a building element - is equipped with openings at the top and bottom areas. At least at the perimeter of the peak area, the funnel must be 20 fitted. 1 sealing end in the rim of the top area of the beaker.

For at gøre det lettere at indføre patterne og formindske faren for overskvulpning, udstyres dyppeapparatet ifølge opfindelsen med en skvulperand, der skal indsættes i tragttoppen, 25 hvilken skvulperand omtrent har form som et omvendt trug og kan bestå af et højere låg med en indefter dybere beliggende åbning, og som kan indpasses tæt i tragten henholdsvis bægeret. Fortrinsvis udformes den mod det indre dybere beliggende åbning af skvulperanden mindre end tragtens øvre åbning, således 30 at det derved dannede rum kan benyttes som restmængdesamlekam-mer. Denne skvulperand,henholdsvis afstryger, indpasses fortrinsvis aftageligt i tragten for at lette rengøringen.In order to facilitate the introduction of teats and to reduce the risk of overflowing, the dipping apparatus according to the invention is equipped with a flushing edge to be inserted into the hopper top, which flushing edge is approximately in the form of an inverted trough and may consist of a higher lid with an inwardly deeper position. aperture, which can fit snugly into the hopper or beaker respectively. Preferably, the smaller opening opening of the bulge rim is formed less than the upper opening of the hopper so that the space thus formed can be used as residual collection chamber. This squeegee or stripper, respectively, is preferably removably fitted into the hopper to facilitate cleaning.

På grundlag af tegningens skematiske gengivelse forklares 35 enkeltheder ved den foreliggende opfindelses genstand. På tegningen viser 3On the basis of the schematic representation of the drawings, 35 details are explained by the subject of the present invention. In the drawing, 3 shows

fig. 1 apparatet set oppefra, fig. 2 et tværsnit langs linien A-A i fig. 1 af et i arbejdsstilling placeret dyppeapparat, og 5 fig. 2 til 5 vipningsforløbet fra arbejdsstilling til appara-tets hvilestilling.FIG. 1 shows the apparatus from above; FIG. 2 is a cross-section along the line A-A in FIG. 1 of a dipping device in working position; and FIG. 2 to 5 the tilting process from the working position to the resting position of the device.

Det i fig. 1 til 5 viste dyppeapparat består af en flaske 10 henholdsvis en lagerbeholder 1 med en produktpassage 2, fortrinsvis en vidhalset åbning, og et bæger 3 med en på siden påformet rørstuds 4. I det opadtil åbnede bæger 3 kan der være indsat en tragt 5.The FIG. 1 to 5, a dipping apparatus 10 consists of a bottle 10 and a storage container 1, respectively, with a product passage 2, preferably a wide-necked opening, and a beaker 3 with a laterally shaped pipe nozzle 4. A funnel 5 may be inserted in the upwardly opened cup 3.

15 Studsen 4 har en kobling 6, der er egnet til at kobles lufttæt på lagerbeholderen l's produktudløb 2. Bægeret 3 har en produktpassage 8 hen over hele studsen 4’s højde til bægeret 3's indre. Tragten 5 har en bundåbning 10 og mindst en udluftningsåbning 11 omtrent i tragtens midterområde. Den øvre tragtrand 20 ligger lufttæt an mod bægeråbningens øvre tilstødende rand.15 The socket 4 has a coupling 6 suitable for coupling air tightly to the product outlet 2 of the storage container 1. The cup 3 has a product passage 8 over the entire height of the socket 4 to the inside of the cup 3. The hopper 5 has a bottom opening 10 and at least one vent opening 11 approximately in the center region of the hopper. The upper funnel edge 20 is airtight against the upper adjacent edge of the cup opening.

Tragten 5 udstyres fortrinsvis med en skvulperand 12. Denne er omtrent formet som et på hovedet stående, rundt, henholdsvis cirkulært trug med en bundflade og to rundtgående randlister.The hopper 5 is preferably equipped with a ruffling strip 12. This is approximately shaped as a head-up, round, or circular trough with a bottom surface and two circumferential edge strips, respectively.

25 Skvulperanden anbringes fortrinsvis således på bæger- henholdsvis tragtåbningen 13's øvre rand således, at dens dækflade, der svarer til trugbundfladen, danner den apparatrand, der ved brug skal vendes mod den pågældende patte. I overensstemmelse med trug-analogien har skvulperanden en ydre liste, 30 der som klemrand 14 skal kobles med den øvre bæger- henholdsvis tragtrand, og en indre liste, der som indføringsåbning 9 skal rage ind i den dybere beliggende større tragtåbning 13. Den indre listes listehøjde skal derfor være større end den ydre listes højde. Mellem tragtfladen og den indre liste resterer 35Preferably, the swill edge is positioned on the upper edge of the cup or hopper opening 13, respectively, such that its cover surface, which corresponds to the trough bottom surface, forms the appliance edge which, when used, should be facing the teat concerned. In accordance with the trough analogy, the baffle rim has an outer molding 30 which, as a clamping edge 14, must be coupled to the upper beaker or hopper rim, and an inner molding which, as insertion opening 9, must project into the deeper located larger hopper opening 13. The inner molding list height must therefore be greater than the height of the outer list. Between the funnel surface and the inner molding remains 35

4 fortrinsvis en ringspalte som adgang til det mellem listerne og dækfladen udspændte trugrum på skvulperandens indre side.4 preferably a ring slot for access to the trough space spanned between the moldings and the cover surface on the inner side of the puffer rim.

Dette trugrum kan ved svingning af skvulperanden til en dyb stilling udnyttes som restmængdekammer 19.This swivel space can be utilized as a residual flow chamber 19 by pivoting the bulb edge to a deep position.

5 I fig. 2 til 5 ses efter hinanden følgende trin for vipnings-forløbet fra arbejdsstillingen (fvig. 2) til hvilestilling (fig. 5) henholdsvis i omvendt retning fra hvilestilling til arbejdsstilling. I den i fig. 5 viste hvilestilling befinder behandlings- henholdsvis plejemidlet 15 sig i lagerbehoIderen. Apparatet stilles i denne stilling til side almindeligvis på lagerbeholderens bundflade 16. Bægeret 3 kobles fortrinsvis således med lagerbeholderen 1, at bægerets henholdsvis tragtens indre i hvilestillingen fuldstændigt tømmes, dvs. at *5 den øvre bægeråbning rettes nedad til en udvippet stilling.5 In FIG. Figures 2 to 5 show successive steps for the tilting process from the working position (Fig. 2) to the resting position (Fig. 5) respectively in the reverse direction from the resting position to the working position. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the treatment and care means 15 are respectively in the storage container. The apparatus in this position is generally set aside on the bottom surface of the storage container 16. The cup 3 is preferably coupled with the storage container 1 so that the interior of the cup and the hopper respectively in the resting position is completely emptied, ie. that * 5 the upper cup opening is directed downward to a flipped position.

Ved svingning over stillingerne ifølge fig. 4 og 3 til den i fig. 2 opnås, at det i lagerbeholderen 1 værende flydende plejemiddel 15 strømmer gennem studsen 4 via produktpassagen 2 0 8 ind i bægeret 3 og i givet fald gennem bundåbningen 10 ind i tragten 6.When swinging over the positions of FIG. 4 and 3 to that of FIG. 2, the liquid care 15 present in the storage container 1 is obtained to flow through the plug 4 via the product passage 2 0 8 into the beaker 3 and, where appropriate, through the bottom opening 10 into the hopper 6.

Udstrømningen fra lagerbeholderen 1 forudsætter, at luft samtidig strømmer efter gennem det øvre område af bægeret 3's og 25 tragten 6's produktpassage 8 og ind i studsen 4 henholdsvis lagerbeholderen 1. Lagerbeholderen l's udluftning kan i det foreliggende tilfælde kun ske via udluftningsåbningen 11 i tragten 5 og via produktpassagen 8. Når væskespejlet 17 i bægeret 3 henholdsvis tragten 5 i arbejdsstillingen vist i 30 fig. 2 har overskredet udluftningsåbningen 11's højde, kan der ikke mere strømme nogen luft ind i lagerbeholderen 1 og følgelig kan ingen yderligere væske strømme fra lagerbeholderen via passagen 8 ind i bægeret. Skønt niveauet 18 altså ved i hvilestilling 5 fyldt lagerbeholder 1 i den vippede lagerbe-35 holder 1 ifølge fig. 2 klart ligger over væskespejlet 17 i tragten 5, kan der ikke strømme nogen yderligere væske udThe outflow from the storage container 1 assumes that air flows simultaneously through the upper area of the product passage 8 of the cup 3 and 25 into the socket 4 and the storage container 1, respectively. In this case, the storage container 1's venting can only be done via the vent opening 11 in the hopper 5 and via the product passage 8. When the liquid mirror 17 in the cup 3 and the hopper 5 in the working position shown in FIG. 2 has exceeded the height of the vent opening 11, no more air can flow into the storage container 1 and consequently no additional liquid can flow from the storage container via the passage 8 into the cup. Thus, although the level 18, at the resting position 5, is filled 1 in the tilted storage container 1 according to FIG. 2 clearly above the liquid mirror 17 in the hopper 5, no additional liquid can flow out

5 af lagerbeholderen.. Væskespejlet 17 i bægeret 3 henholdsvis tragten 5 forbliver tværtimod konstant på en ved afluftnings-åbningen 11 forudgiven højde, og man behøver ikke at frygte for,at det opretstående bæger løber over.On the contrary, the liquid mirror 17 in the cup 3 and the hopper 5 remains constant at a height predetermined at the vent opening 11, and there is no need to fear that the upright cup overflows.

Ved konstruktivt at flytte udluftningsåbningen 11, kan væskespejlet 17's henholdsvis den til rådighed stående neddypnings-dybdes højde forudindstilles inden for tragten 5. Selve tragten kan have den tegnede svagt koniske form. Det er også muligt 10 med en cylindrisk form med cylinderringformet mellemrum mellem tragt- og bægervægge.By constructively moving the vent opening 11, the height of the liquid mirror 17 and the available immersion depth, respectively, can be preset within the hopper 5. The hopper itself may have the slightly tapered shape drawn. It is also possible to have a cylindrical shape with cylindrical annular space between hopper and beaker walls.

Når der sørges for, at studsen 4's produktpassage 8 flugter med tragten 5"s udluftningsåbning 11, kan tragten 5 også ligge 15 an imod bægeret 3's indre side. Selvsagt skal der så findes en for det flydende plejemiddel 15 åben gennemstrømningsvej mellem studsen 4's produktpassage 8 og et tilhørende indløb 1 bundområdet - også på siden - af tragten 5.When ensuring that the product passage 8 of the plug 4 aligns with the hopper 5 "vent opening 11, the hopper 5 may also abut 15 against the inner side of the cup 3. Of course, a flow path open to the liquid care means 15 must exist between the product passage 8 of the plug 4 and an associated inlet in the bottom area - also on the side - of the hopper 5.

20' Benyttes der i den i fig. 2 viste arbejdsstilling flydende plejemiddel 15, synker væskespejlet 17 i tragten 5 og lufttilførslen via udluftningsåbningen 11 frigives igen. Derfor kan væske igen strømme efter indtil den forudgivende højde for væskespejlet 17. Dette system fungerer så længe, som lager-25 mængden i lagerbeholderen 1 henholdsvis studsen 4 endnu er tilstrækkelig til at fylde bægeret 3 henholdsvis tragten 5.20 'is used in the embodiment of FIG. 2, liquid care means 15, the liquid mirror 17 in the hopper 5 drops and the air supply via the vent opening 11 is released again. Therefore, liquid can again flow up to the predetermined height of the liquid mirror 17. This system works as long as the amount of storage in the storage container 1 and the socket 4 is still sufficient to fill the cup 3 and the hopper 5, respectively.

Når dyppeapparatet ved vipning skal bringes fra den i fig.When the dipping apparatus is to be removed from the one shown in FIG.

2 viste stilling til den i fig. 5 viste hvilestilling, svinges 30 tragten 5 fra det vandrette til et skråt eller lodret plan og den i tragten 5 henholdsvis bægeret 3 værende væske strømmer tilbage ind i lagerbeholderen 1 - især via tragtbundåbningen 10 og produktpassagen 8. Også ved denne proces er udluftningsåbningerne 11 i tragten 5's og bægeret 3's område en forudsæt-35 ning for væsketransporten. Ved apparatets tilbagevipning ifølge fig. 3 frigives udluftningsåbningerne 11 således, at den i lagerbeholderen 1 værende indesluttede luft igen kan undvige.2 to the position shown in FIG. 5, the hopper 5 is pivoted from the horizontal to an inclined or vertical plane and the liquid remaining in the hopper 5 and the cup 3, respectively, flows back into the storage container 1 - especially via the hopper bottom opening 10 and the product passage 8. Also in this process, the vent openings 11 in The area of the hopper 5 and the cup 3 are a prerequisite for the liquid transport. In the reversing of the apparatus according to FIG. 3, the vent openings 11 are released so that the trapped air contained in the storage container 1 can again evade.
