Description

The invention relates to milk collectors, in particular to devices for the primary processing of milk in the lines of milking plants, is intended for the production of high quality milk and its quick sealing in packaged airtight milk bags or in milk flasks.

A compact mini-line for milk processing is known (see, for example, RF patent No. 2081565, class A01J 11/02, December 13, 1994).

In the well-known mini-line, all units of technological processing equipment are mounted on one mobile base, which allows creating a compact production unit for processing milk delivered from the farm in containers to various dairy products.

However, this processing method requires additional equipment to sterilize the delivered product, i.e. to complicating the process of obtaining the final product.

A device is known for primary processing of milk in milking units (see, for example, RF patent No. 2015665, class A01J 9/02, 06/18/91), containing milking units, a milk pipe, a milk receiver with a float sensor, a milk pump and a control unit a milk pump, filters with actuators at the inlets and check valves at the exits, a milk storage tank, a cooler and a vacuum pump.

This device has the same disadvantages as the mini line, i.e. requires additional processing of milk during its implementation.

Closest to the proposed is an integrated milking dairy complex (see, for example, RF patent No. 2473212, class A01J 9/02, 01/27/2013) containing a milking machine, a vacuum pump, teat cups, a milk pipe, a filter, a milk receiver, milk cooling device, dispenser, batch roll, bag movement mechanism, bactericidal lamp, filled bag sealing device, finished product receiving tray, automatic control unit.

The known complex also does not provide high-quality processing of milk in its production.

The present invention solves the problem of expanding the functionality of the complex and improving the quality of the output product, for which purpose in an integrated milking dairy complex containing a milking machine, the collector of which through the milk pipe, the filter is connected to the milk receiver, the milk receiver output is connected to the dispenser, and reception and packaging of finished products, the milk receiver is made two-section, the upper section of which is equipped with means of mixing milk, and the lower section it is intended for receiving milk averaged over fat content and transferring it to a dispenser installed directly at the outlet of the lower section of the milk receiver, a pasteurizer of milk installed at the outlet of the dispenser and a milk cooling heat exchanger, from the outlet of which the finished product enters the device for receiving and packaging finished products, in the device case UV lamps are installed for disinfecting the internal volume of the elements included in the complex; the milk pasteurizer is made in the form of a housing; set this position the cylindrical halogen infrared lamp heaters, the fixing structure milk pasteurizer adapted to its rapid extraction for maintenance work or replacement; at the outlet of the heat exchanger, a second controlled hermetic outlet of the finished product into a flask is provided, pasteurized milk from which is intended for processing into dairy products; all constructions of the components included in the complex, inside of which milk flows, are made of materials transparent to ultraviolet rays or have windows made of materials transparent to ultraviolet rays, the device for receiving and packaging the finished product contains external receiving trays and is connected to an external pneumatic conveyor transporting milk packets to refrigerator compartment.

The drawing shows a diagram of an integrated milking dairy complex.

The integrated milking dairy complex contains teatcups 1 of the milking machine, a collector 2, a vacuum wire 3, a vacuum pump 4, a milk pipe 5, a filter 6, an upper section 7 and a lower section 8 of the milk receiver, cranes 9 and 10 installed in the bottom of the upper section 7 and the lower section 8 of the milk receiver, the dispenser 11 with the outlet valve 12, connecting hoses with clamps 13 of the pasteurizer body 14, germicidal UV lamps 15, cylindrical IR heaters 16, the outlet valve 17 of the pasteurizer, rotary panel 18, milk cooling heat exchanger 19, cr n 20 discharge of milk into a bag, a crane 21 discharge of milk into a flask, a funnel 22, a sealing device 23 of a filled bag, a bag 24, a bag block 25, a mechanism 26 for moving the bag, a device 27 for connecting to external pneumatic transport, a receiving tray 26, a flask 29, installed under the crane 21, the cart 30 for installing the flask, the means 31 for mixing milk located in the upper section 7 of the milk receiver, the automatic control unit 32, the housing 33, in which all the blocks included in the complex are placed through which the processed milk passes, nests 34 for I'm installing nipple cups.

The essence of the present invention is to combine the processes of milking and the issuance of finished products into a single technological process that improves the quality of products by making the milk receiver two-section. The upper section 7 of the milk receptacle is a vessel with a capacity of at least 12 l, inside which there is placed a milk stirring device 31, made, for example, in the form of a frame stirrer that mixes the milk entering after passing through the filter 6 for cleaning the milk that accumulates in the upper section 7 during milking . When the crane 9 is opened, the accumulated milk is poured into the lower section 8, similar in design, for its subsequent transfer to the dispenser 11 and then to the units of the complex for further processing, and a new portion of milk from the next cow enters the freed upper section 7, and the crane 9 between sections closed.

The proposed process eliminates the possibility of obtaining at the exit of the milk complex from one cow with unequal fat content.

In addition, in the proposed complex, the possible bacterial contamination of the internal volumes of the blocks of the complex in contact with milk is reduced due to the implementation of blocks of materials transparent to ultraviolet radiation or the execution of blocks of windows that are transparent to radiation in the cases. Bactericidal ultraviolet lamps are placed inside the hardware case, which are turned on after each washing of the internal volumes of the complex and before the complex starts to work in preparation for work.

The introduction of pasteurizer 14 in the complex ensures the safety of milk consumption.

The work of the complex takes place in the following sequence.

The complex is connected to a 220 volt network and the stage of preparation for work is maintained for 30 minutes, after which a signal of readiness for operation is issued.

The cow is placed at the milking site at the integrated milking dairy complex, which automatically reads the cow’s identification number. To the udder prepared for milking, teat cups 1 of the milking machine are connected. The milk that has been milked out through the milk line 5 and the filter 6 enters the upper section 7 of the milk receiver. After milking the cow, the teat cups 1 are disconnected from the udder and placed in the nests 34 of the complex. The valve 9 opens, and the milk is poured into the lower section 8 of the milk receiver, the valve 9 closes. Milking the next cow also occurs. Then, with the help of taps 10, 12, 20 and 21, at the instructions of the automatic control unit 32, milk is sequentially passed through a dispenser 11, a pasteurizer 14, a milk cooling heat exchanger 19, where it is subjected to dosing, pasteurization, cooling, respectively, and then according to the instructions of the automatic control unit 32 it is poured into the prepared by the block 25 and the mechanism 26 for moving the bag into the bag 24 through the funnel 22 lowered into it, the necessary information is applied to the bag with a printing device (not shown in the drawing) those and milking times, cow number, milk fat, pasteurization temperature, manufacturer's address, after which the neck of the bag is sealed by the sealing device 23 by closing, holding and opening the heated plates of the sealing device 23, the filled and closed bag 24 is discharged into the receiving tray 28 or through an external pneumatic transport is placed in the refrigerator. At the command of the automatic control unit 32, the packet block 25, through the mechanism 26 for moving the packet with the help of vacuum suction cups, sets the next packet in the working position. Milk can also, according to appropriate commands from the automatic control unit 32, from the milk cooling heat exchanger 19 through the valve 21 enter the flask 29.

The process is repeated until all the cows are milked. The milking rate is determined by the speed of the standard milking machine included in the complex.

The present invention carries out record-breaking rapid dosing, pasteurization, cooling and sealing of milk discharged from a cow, occurring in sealed volumes of the complex with extremely short milk movements. All this happens at the very beginning of the period of the bactericidal phase of milk, and thereby eliminates the possibility of external and internal bacterial seeding of milk, which allows to obtain high-quality milk at lower energy and time costs.

Milk consumers in packages have the opportunity to order and receive milk from a cow specifically chosen by them.

According to the invention, a prototype of the complex was manufactured and successfully tested at two farms in the Moscow region.
