Abstract

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: manipulator comprises a guide, a pneumatic cylinder whose piston is flexibly connected with automatic milking control unit. Manipulator has vacuumized pipelines equipped with a fixed half-coupling. With the manipulator in working position, the pneumatic cylinder is disposed on the guide, the milking apparatus, on the udder of the animal while the automatic milking control unit with the movable half-coupling is joined with the fixed half-coupling of vacuumized pipelines. With the manipulator in the transport position, the pneumatic cylinder is disposed on additional guide and has suspended milking apparatus with the automatic milking control unit. Then the pneumatic cylinder moves over the additional guide along the cowhouse from the milked animal to the yet unmilked one. EFFECT: improved design. 6 dwg

Description

 The invention relates to agriculture, in particular to devices for milking animals.

 Figure 1 shows a diagram of the manipulator (top view); in Fig.2 a section aa in Fig. 1, the operating position of the manipulator; figure 3 the same, the manipulator in the transport position; figure 4 diagram of the tensioning device of the guide; in Fig.5 node I in Fig.2; depicted node II in figure 2.

 The manipulator contains a guide 1, an additional guide 2. In the working position of the manipulator, the pneumatic cylinder 3 with the milking machine 4 and the milking control 5 is mounted on the guide 1. In the transport position, the pneumatic cylinder 3 with the milking machine 4 and the control 5 is mounted on the additional guide 2. The milking machine 4, the pneumatic cylinder 3 and the control unit 5 are connected to each other and to the evacuated pipeline lines 6 by hoses 7.

 The guide 1 and the additional guide 2 are made in the form of a flexible element, thrown through the horizontal 8 and vertical 9 blocks. The tension of the guides 1, 2 is carried out by the load 10, mounted on the ends of the flexible element.

 The pneumatic cylinder 3 consists of a housing 11, on the outer surface of which a fitting 12, an arm 13 with rollers 14, a handle 15 are fixed, and a piston 16 is installed inside, connected by a flexible element 17 to the collector 18 of the milking machine 4.

 The milking machine 4, in addition to the collector 18 and the milking cups 19, includes a pulsator 20.

 On the automatic milking control 5 fixed movable coupling half 21 of the housing 22, equipped with a handle 23, a ring 24, an air sensor 25 with a head 26 and a bracket 27.

 The evacuated pipelines 6 consist of a milk line 28 and a vacuum wire 29 connected to each other by a fixed coupling half 30.

 The manipulator milking works as follows.

 The operator moves the pneumatic cylinders 3 mounted on the rollers 14 with milking machines 4 and automatic controllers 5 suspended on them along the additional guide 2 from the washing compartment to the barn and sets them between the cows in a row: the first between the tenth and ninth, the second between the eighth and seventh, the third between the sixth and fifth, the fourth between the fourth and third, the fifth between the second and first cows.

 The operator washes the udder of the first animal, transfers the pneumatic cylinder 3 with the additional guide 2 to the guide 1, then the operator removes the milking control unit 5 from the handle 15, joins its movable coupling half 21 with the fixed coupling half 30 of the evacuated piping lines 6, raises the head 26 of the milking control machine 5 and installs it on the bracket 27. After that, the operator removes the collector 18 with the milking cups 19 from the handle 15 of the pneumatic cylinder 3, puts the milking cups 19 on the udder of the animal and moves sequentially to the third in the fifth, seventh and ninth animal, performing the operations described above in turn.

 The process of extracting milk is carried out in the following sequence.

 After the allowance, milk from the udder of the animal enters the milking cups 19, collector 18, milking control unit 5, milk line 28. With an increase in milk yield, the pneumatic sensor 25 pops up, releases the bracket 27, which overturns under its own weight and then automatically controls the milking process. When the intensity of milk transfer decreases to 200 g / min, the pneumatic sensor lowers and connects the internal cavity of the cylinder 3 to the vacuum wire 29 through the nozzle 12. The piston 16 is moved by vacuum to the upper position and, using the flexible element 17 attached to it, removes the collector 18 with the milking cups 19 s the udder of the animal and together with the collector 18 pulls them to the base of the pneumatic cylinder 3, keeping it in this position until the operator arrives.

 Having served the ninth cow, the operator moves to the second animal, washes the udder, cocks the milking control 5, puts the milking cups 19 on the second cow and sequentially performs these operations on the fourth, sixth, eighth and tenth cows.

 Then the operator proceeds to the second cow, the milking process of which is over. Puts the loop of the manifold 18 on the hook of the handle 15 of the pneumatic cylinder 3. Disconnects the movable coupling half 21 of the milking control 5 from the fixed coupling 30 of the evacuated pipework 6 and, using the handle 23, puts the ring 24 of the control on the second hook of the handle 15 of the pneumatic cylinder 3.

 After that, the operator transfers the pneumatic cylinder 3 with the guide 1 to the additional guide 2, deflects the pneumatic cylinder 3 from a vertical position at an angle at which it does not touch the croup of animals, and transports the pneumatic cylinder 3 along the barn on roller 14 and sets it between the twelfth and eleventh cows. Accordingly, the remaining pneumatic cylinders move to the pre-milked animals and the milking process is repeated until the last animal is milked. Then the pneumatic cylinders 3 with equipment mounted on them are moved to the washing compartment, where they are circulated washed.

 The proposed technical solution allows, in comparison with the prototype, to significantly simplify the design of the device and thereby increase the reliability of the milking process.
