Description

:ηί>η -mm rrnani? ιρηη Device for the separation of milked material WESTFALIA SEPARATOR AG.
C. 99710 FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a device for the separation of milked material obtained from teat cup clusters in milking plants, with a control unit, an interception container and a switching device for selectively connecting a milking tube with a milk tube or an inlet tube leading to the interception container.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Such a device is known, for example, from DE 40 07 327 CI, whereby milked material with a high content of harmful germs is separated from the collected milk and transferred into a special interception container. This known device does not facilitate automatic emptying of the interception container.
With progressive automation of the milking process, it is necessary, for various reasons, not only to separate milked material with very high germ content from the collected milk, but also to drain this milk separately due to changes in the milk quality. Moreover, should the herd management system, whose data output is connected to the milking system, indicate at the milking stand that the milked material of a certain, automatically identified animal must be separated, it is necessary to separate the entire milked material from the collected milk.
The objective of the invention is to create a device facilitating the automatic extraction of part or all of the milked material from the milking system.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The objective of the invention is achieved by connecting the interception container to the milk tube by a connecting tube, and providing a first outlet tube of the interception container with a feed-pump and a first check valve.
The vacuum in the milk tube is transferred via the connecting tube to the interception container, so that, whenever the milking tube is connected by the switching device to the inlet tube, the milked material to be separated is sucked into the interception container. The control unit activates the switching device according to the abovementioned criteria. The first check valve in the outlet tube of the interception container is closed by vacuum and thereby prevents the entry of atmospheric pressure via the first outlet tube into the interception container. By switching on the feed-pump, the milked material can be extracted by the vacuum prevailing in the interception container, whereby the check valve is first opened automatically by the milk flow. Thereby, any amount of milked material can be automati-cally separated from the milking process, continuously or at intervals.
The objective can also be attained by connecting the interception container to the milk tube via a connecting tube, in which a valve device connected to the atmospheric pressure is fitted, and by providing a first outlet tube of the interception container with a check valve.
In such a solution, whenever the milked material must be extracted via the inlet tube, the interception container is connected via the valve device to the milk tube. For extracting the milked material, the milking tube is connected via the switching device to the milk tube and the interception container is connected via the valve device to the atmospheric pressure, whereby atmospheric pressure starts to build-up in the interception container and the check valve, which is opened by this pressure, facilitating the outflow of the milked material. - In an advantageous embodiment, the switching device consists of a shut-off valve in the milking tube and a second check valve in the inlet tube. The second check valve opens automatically whenever the interception container is connected via the valve device with the vacuum in the milk tube.
In an additional advantageous embodiment, the switching device consists of a first switching unit for selectively connecting the milking tube to the inlet tube or to a second outlet tube equipped with a first shut-off device, and a second switching unit for selectively connecting the milking tube to the milk tube or to a rinsing tube equipped with a second shut-off device. This switching device facilitates simultaneously rinsing the device when the milking tube is simultaneously connected to the second outlet tube and the rinsing tube.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS For better understanding, the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Fig. 1 is a device with a feed-pump; Fig. 2 is a device with a valve installation; Fig. 3 is a device with a shut-off valve and a second check-valve; and Fig. 4 is a device with a rinsing tube.
DETAILEDj DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS In Fig. 1, the number 1 designates a teat cup cluster, from which a milking tube 2 with a switching device 3 leads to a milk tube 4. The switching device 3 is connected via an inlet tube 5 to the interception container 6, and via a line 7 to a control unit 8. The interception container 6 is connected via a connecting tube 9 to the milk tube 4. A feed-pump 11 and a first check-valve 12 are fitted in a first outlet tube 10 of the interception container 6.
When milk is extracted in the usual way, the milking tube 2 is connected via the switching device 3 to the milk tube 4, and at the same time the inlet tube 5 to the interception container 6 is shut off. The milked material then flows through the milk tube 4 into a milk collecting container, which is not shown.
Whenever the control unit 8 receives data requesting the separation of the milked material, the milking tube 2 is connected via the switching device 3 to the inlet tube 5 and the milked material now flows into the interception container 6, to which the vacuum prevailing in the milk tube 4 is applied via the connecting tube 9.
For extracting the milked material, the feed pump 11 is switched on; this overcomes the vacuum in the interception container, and the feeder flow of the feed pump automatically opens the first check-valve 12.
In the embodiment according to Fig. 2, a valve device 13 is fitted in the connecting tube 9 for selectively applying vacuum from the milk tube 4 or atmospheric pressure to the interception container 6. For separating the milked material, the milking tube 2 is connected via the control unit 8 to the inlet tube 5, and the interception container 6 is connected via the valve device 13 to the milk tube 4.
For extracting the milked material from ' the interception container 6, the milking tube 2 is re-connected via the switching device 3 to the milk tube 4, and the interception container 6 is connected via the valve device 13 to atmospheric pressure. The first check-valve 12 is opened by the atmospheric pressure, thereby facilitating the emptying of the interception container 6. This solution obviates the necessity for a feed pump for emptying the interception container 6.
The device according to Fig. 3 contains a switching device 3, which consists of a shut-off valve 14 in the milking tube 2 and a second check-valve 15 in the inlet tube 5.
When milk is extracted in the usual way, the shut-off valve 14 is opened and atmospheric pressure is applied via the valve device 13 to the interception container 6. Thereby the second check-valve 15 in the inlet tube 5 is automatically closed. The first check-valve 12 in the first outlet tube 10 is now opened and facilitates the emptying of the interception container 6.
If milked material must be separated, the shut-off valve 14 is closed via the control unit 8 and the interception container 6 is connected via the valve device 13 to the vacuum in the milk tube 4. Thereby the check-valve 15 is automatically opened, and the first check-valve 12 is closed. The milked material now flows via the inlet tube 5 into the interception container 6. When the device is switched back to the usual milk extraction mode, the interception container 6 is automatically emptied by the opening of the first check-valve 12.
In the device according to Fig. 4, the milking tube 2 can be selectively connected by a first switching unit 16 to the inlet tube 5 or to a second outlet tube 18 fitted with a first shut-off device 17, and, by a second switching device 19, it can be selectively connected to the milk tube 4 or to the rinsing tube 21 fitted with a second shut-off device 20.
When milk is extracted in the usual way, the milking tube 2 is connected via the first switching unit 16 to the second outlet tube 18, and via the second switching unit 19 to the milk tube 4. The first shut-off device 17 is automatically closed. The milked material therefore flows into the milk tube 4.
In order to separate the milked material, the milking tube 2 is connected via the first switching unit 16 to the inlet tube 5 and via the second switching unit 19 to the rinsing tube 21. The shut-off device 20 in the rinsing tube 21 is thereby closed. Therefore, the milked material can only reach the interception container 6, from which it is extracted by switching on the feed pump 11.
In order to rinse the device, the milking tube 2 is connected via the first switching device 16 to the second outlet tube 18, and via the second switching device 19 to the rinsing tube 21. By opening the second shut-off device 20 and switching on a rinsing-liquid pump 22, the rinsing liquid is moved through the rinsing tube 21 and the milking tube 2 till it reaches the teat cup cluster 1. Part of the rinsing liquid flows via the first switching unit 16 into the second rinsing tube 18, whose second shut-off device 17 is automatically opened by the pressure of the rinsing liquid.
The above described switching conditions can be triggered by the control unit 8.
