The present invention relates to a milking apparatus for squeezing milk from cows, and more particularly, to a milking apparatus capable of milking using an electronic pulsator while maintaining a pipeline milking facility.

Milking operations to squeeze milk from cows are done through milking machines at most sites. The milking machine uses the same principle as the calf sucks into the mouth, for example, by inserting a teat cup into the teat of the cow's breast and alternatingly generating a vacuum in the teat cup, under the action of vacuum and atmospheric pressure. Aspirate milk from

The milking machine includes a bucket type milking machine carrying milking while carrying a vacuum pump and a bucket, and a pipeline milking machine configured to install a milk line and a vacuum line pipeline on the barn, and the milked milk is automatically transferred to the milk line. In addition, there is a milking machine milking machine configured to install a separate milking room, pipe a pipeline to each milking room, and milk the milking in each milking room. Of these, pipeline milking machines do not need to carry milk directly by the milker, such as bucket milking machines, and are currently widely used for small-scale farmers with mooring barns.

In general, a cow's breast is divided into four quarters and one papilla is formed in each quarter. It is also known that the amount of milk produced is greater in the posterior breast because the posterior two breasts are larger than the anterior two breasts. Four tea cups, which are fitted to the nipples of the cow's breast, are also provided in pairs according to the number of breasts. Vacuum is introduced into the four teat cups from the vacuum pump or vacuum line, with the pulsator located between them. The pulsator applies and releases a vacuum in the teat cup, thereby causing the teat cup to realize the act of sucking the calf.

The pulsator is classified into an air pulsator and an electronic pulsator according to the driving method. The pneumatic pulsator is configured to mechanically adjust the introduced vacuum so that the pulsation rate is constant. Electronic pulsator is configured to apply vacuum to each teat cup with different pulsation rate through electronic device inside the pulsator.

In the case of the air pulsator, there is a difference in the amount of milk produced in the front breast and the rear breast. Therefore, the air pulsator continues to drive the front breast while the milking of the milk produced in the front breast is completed. I get excited. The cow is then stressed and mastitis may develop. In the case of an electronic pulsator, vacuum is applied to each teat cup at different pulsation rates, so there is little chance of stressing the cow or developing mastitis. Air pulsators are typically employed in pipeline milking machines, and electronic pulsators are employed in milking chamber milkers.

While milking chamber milkers using electronic pulsators are beneficial in terms of yield and cow's health, most small-scale farmers who currently employ pipeline milking machines have adopted electronic pulsators because of the high cost required to switch to milking parlor milkers. There is a problem that milking room milking machine is not easily applied.

The present invention was devised to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a milking apparatus capable of milking using an electronic pulsator while maintaining a pipeline milking facility.

In order to achieve the above object and other objects, the milking apparatus of the present invention, the pipeline consisting of a milk line and a vacuum line, the milk suction port that can communicate with the milk line and the vacuum inlet that can communicate with the vacuum line A hose hanger having a tab formed to span the milk line and the vacuum line, a milk line connecting tube matching the milk suction port, and a vacuum line connecting tube connecting to the vacuum inlet port, and fixed to the tab; An electronic pulsator connected to a connector and pulsating a vacuum necessary for milking, a pulsator hanger having a hook portion at one end fixed to the electronic pulsator and spanning one of the pipelines, and the milk line connection The milk crow and milk cows connected to the tube are fitted to one side of the electronic pulsator and And is at the other side, it characterized in that it comprises a milking unit having a tea teukeop connected to the milk Crow.

Here, the hook portion is preferably formed to span at least two points in one of the pipelines.

In addition, the pulsator hanger preferably further has a handle portion surrounding a portion of the hose so that the hose connecting the electronic pulsator and the teat cup extends in a straight line.

In addition, the handle portion preferably has a first hook and a second hook.

The electronic pulsator 130 is fixed to the pulsator hanger 140. Pulsator hanger 140 is configured to be walkable on pipeline 110 and to be portable by the operator.

The milk line 111 and the vacuum line 112 may extend in parallel with each other, and may be piped along one side wall of a barn (not shown). Milk line 111 is a pipe piped to collect the milk milked from the cow to the house tank. The vacuum line 112 is a pipe piped to provide a vacuum introduced into the electronic pulsator 130. The milk line 111 may be connected to a collecting tank, a cooler, etc., and the vacuum line 112 may be connected to a vacuum pump.

On the pipeline 110, a plurality of tabs 120 are laid at appropriate intervals according to the capacity of the barn. The tab 120 functions as an inlet through which milked milk enters the milk line 111 and an outlet through which vacuum from the vacuum line 112 is introduced into the electronic pulsator 130. Milking is performed because the cow is positioned near the tab 120.

The tab 120 in this embodiment is provided to span both the milk line 111 and the vacuum line 112. In detail, the tab 120 is in contact with the vacuum plane contact plate 151b and the first plane 121 on which the milk line contact plate 151a of the coupling plate 151 of the hose hanger 150 to be described later is mounted. It has a second plane 123. The first plane 121 is formed on the upper surface of the tab 120 as the bottom surface of the groove 121a. The milk suction port 122 is formed in the first plane 121 so as to mate with the milk line connecting pipe 152 which will be described later when the hose hanger 150 is coupled to the tab 120, and the second plane 123. The vacuum inlet 124 is formed so that the vacuum line connecting pipe 153 which will be described later when the hose hanger 150 is coupled to the tab 120 is inserted. The tab 120 communicates with the milk line 111 while surrounding the milk line 111 on one side and communicates with the vacuum line 112 through the tube 125 on the other side. In addition, one side of the tab 120 is provided with an outlet 126 for supplying power to the electronic pulsator 130, the outlet 126 is connected to a power source through the wire 113.

The electronic pulsator 130 providing the vacuum necessary for milking is connected to each other through the vacuum hose 132 to the vacuum line connecting pipe 153. Therefore, the electronic pulsator 130 communicates with the vacuum line 112 through the vacuum hose 132, the vacuum line connecting pipe 153, the vacuum inlet 124, the pipe 125, from the vacuum line 112 Vacuum is introduced into the electronic pulsator 130. On one side of the electronic pulsator 130, a deferred hose 134 is drawn out to allow the vacuum to be transferred to the milking unit 160. Power for driving the electronic pulsator 130 is supplied through the cord 133 when the plug 154 described later is inserted into the outlet 126.

The electronic pulsator 130 can generate the pulsation rate and pulsation ratio appropriately for each part of the cow by an internal controller. Therefore, unlike the pneumatic pulsator, the electronic pulsator 130 does not generate irregular pulsations caused by the external environment and external factors, so that the overmilking for the front part is removed and the stress received by the cow is reduced.

The electronic pulsator 130 is fixed to the pulsator hanger 140. The pulsator hanger 140 can be hung on the pipeline 110 (milk line 111 or vacuum line 111), preferably so that the electronic pulsator 130 can be hung while being held vertically. Consists of.
