Description

The invention relates to agricultural machinery, and in particular to mobile units for milking cows in stalls.

A mobile milking unit is known comprising a milk tank with a milk pipe installed on the platform, a milk cooling device, a vacuum pump with a vacuum pipe, a manipulator with milking machines, remote support racks, a telescopic traverse with guides located on the latter with clamps, and the telescopic traverse and guides are made from stationary and moving parts, parts of the guides of which are pivotally interconnected, while with the movable part of the telescopic grass rsy associated external support legs fitted with wheels and a fixed part guide - manipulator with milking machines (RF patent №2053653 cells A01J 5/00.).

The disadvantage of this unit is the need to manually move the movable part of the traverse relatively motionless, as a result of which it cannot have a large number of milking machines, and thus cannot provide high productivity for the milking operator.

Known mobile milking unit containing a platform with milking machines, a vacuum line, a milk pipe and a tank for collecting milk, a pump for pumping it and a refrigeration unit, an electric drive for moving it and a power supply system with a control panel, while the milking machines are connected to devices for moving them up - down together with hoses and with an electronic milking process control system with a waterproof laptop, the vacuum pipe contains a device with a crane for periodic connection with with a stationary vacuum pipe, the platform’s electric drive contains an asterisk that engages with a perforated guide fixed over the floor of the process passage, two pairs of rollers in contact with the guide and lattices covering the manure channels along the entire length of the unit are installed on the platform frame (RF patent No. 2466533, C. A01J 5/003 - prototype).

The disadvantage of this unit is that it does not provide individual dosed feeding of compound feed to cows during milking in the process of milking.

The objective of the proposed technical solution is to provide in the process of milking individual dosed feeding of compound feed to cows with tethered contents.

The problem is solved by the fact that on the brackets of the unit platform there is a system for distributing individual doses of animal feed, made in the form of a feed pipe with a flexible traction body with washers, an electric drive for moving the traction body, a storage hopper with an unloading screw and a feed control device for the feed pipe, individual dispensers for each a milking machine, an automated control system for dispensing individual doses of feed in proportion to portions of milk, and a device for I simultaneous up-down movement of the hoses of milking machines of one row is made in the form of a rod connected to a drive that provides its reciprocating movement, and flexible traction bodies with hoses of each milking machine of one row, while the dispensers are made in the form of storage tanks attached to the feed pipe and containing ribbed drums, the shafts of which are connected to individual gear motors, and feed pipes are connected to the discharge openings of the drum casings.

In the process of analyzing the prior art, no analogues are found that are characterized by the above features of the claimed invention. In addition, the present invention for a specialist in the field of milking cows does not follow explicitly from the prior art. This invention can be used in agriculture to mechanize the process of milking cows in stalls while feeding individual doses of animal feed. Thus, the claimed invention meets the conditions of patentability: "novelty", "inventive step" and "industrial applicability".

Figure 1 shows the unit, front view, figure 2 is a view of the unit in plan, figure 3 is a side view of the unit, figure 4 is a section AA in figure 1, figure 5 is a section BB in figure .4, in Fig.6 is a view A in Fig.2, in Fig.7 is a view B in Fig.6, Fig.8 is a plan of the barn with the unit.

The unit contains a mobile electrified platform 1, on which are mounted a milk tank 2 with a refrigeration unit 3, a vacuum pipe 4, a milk pipe 5 with milking machines 6, an air separator from the milk-air mixture 7, an automated milking process control system 8 with automatic machines for removing from the udder and lifting the milking devices 6, two devices for moving up and down their hoses 9, made in the form of rods 10 connected to the actuators 11 and flexible traction bodies 12 with hoses 9, and on the brackets 13 of the platform 1 is placed a system for distributing individual doses of feed, made in the form of a feed pipe 14 with a flexible traction body with washers 15, an electric drive 16 for moving the traction body 15, a storage hopper 17 with an unloading screw 19 with an adjustable shutter 20, individual dispensers 21 for each milking machine 6, made in the form storage tanks connected to the feed pipe 14 and containing ribbed drums 22, the shafts of which are connected to individual gear motors 23, and the feed pipes are connected to the discharge openings of the drum casings 22 24 s.

An automated control system 25 for dispensing individual doses of compound feed in proportion to portions of milk milk is connected to an automated system for controlling the milking process 8 of each milking machine 6.

The brackets 26 are welded directly to the frame of the platform 1, on which lattices 27 are laid, covering the manure channel along the entire length of the unit.

A workstation 28 for the milking operator and a control panel 29 are installed on the unit platform.

The unit is powered by a serial three-phase busbar 30 installed on the brackets 31 of one row of stall equipment 18. A main vacuum pipe 32 is mounted on the brackets of the other row. On the vacuum pipe 32, for example, 10 cattle places (if the unit is equipped with 20 milking machines), plug valves 33 for connecting to the vacuum pipe 4 of the unit through a plug valve 34, at the end of the pipe of which a mobile coupling 35 is installed. The vacuum pipes 4 and 32 are connected using the coupling 35.

The unit is moved along the rows of stalls using a gear motor 36 with an asterisk that engages with a perforated guide in the form of a channel 37, mounted above the floor in the center between two manure channels. On the frame of the platform are two pairs of rollers 38 in contact with the guide 37.

The unit operates as follows. The milking operator is located at his workplace 28, includes a drive 36 and moves the unit from the dairy (position 1 in Fig. 8) to the passage of the barn (position 2). It includes a water ring vacuum unit placed in a dairy barn. It connects the vacuum system of the unit using the clutch 35 to the main vacuum pipe 32. Then it includes a drive 11, which by moving the rod 10 lowers the hoses 9 down one row of cows. The operator alternately with the help of disposable napkins prepares the udder for milking and turns on the milking machines. As 6 servings of milk (for example, 1 l) are received from one milking machine into the automated system 8 of its accounting and control of the milking process of this particular machine, the automated control system 25 gives a command to the gearmotor 23 of dispenser 21 to issue a portion (for example, 300 g) of feed.

Automated system 25 is programmed for the time the volumetric dispenser (ribbed drum 22) dispenses a feed dose per serving of milk milk. These values are the same for all dispensers in the system.

The second operator performs all operations for the maintenance of second-line cows.

When pumping milk from the tank 2 of the unit to a stationary tank located in the milk tank, from the hopper located next to the barn, with the help of a screw suspended to the floor of the building, the feed is loaded into the storage hopper 17. The operator turns on the drive 16 for moving the traction organ 15 and the drive of the unloading auger 19 of the hopper 17. After filling the tank with compound feed of the last dispenser 21 before the drive 16, the drives 16 and the auger 19 are turned off.

During milking, milk from the air separator 7 is periodically pumped by its pump to the main tank 2. After the last milking machine is automatically turned off, the operator disconnects the vacuum system of the unit from the main vacuum wire 32 using the crane 33 and the coupling 35, turns on the electric drive 36 and moves the milking unit the next group of cows. The process is then repeated in a similar sequence until all animals of the barn are extradited. After that, the unit is moved to the dairy (position 1 in Fig. 8), milk is pumped into the tank in the dairy, connected to an automated stationary system for washing the milking machines and the milk tank.
