Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mechanism for collecting and distributing milk for animals (cows, sheep, goats, etc.) designed for the collection of milk from the milking operation to a closed container.
- Said mechanism consists of a body and a funnel collector-distributor.
- the body can be fixed to a container or a previously installed support.
- the mechanism of the invention can be applied as a component in different industrial fields such as electropneumatics, electrohydraulics, automatics, toys, etc .; but more specifically in the livestock sector. It is specially designed for use as a component in a milking facility in an animal milking parlor (cows, sheep, goats, etc.).
- the different milking facilities that are sold depend on different factors, such as: type of animal to be milked (cow, sheep, goat, etc.), number of heads to be milked in each milking, number of operators , milking time, type of milking parlors, etc.
- some of the elements or components of which a basic milking installation consists are the following: teat-sets, intended for milking the animal; collector, first vessel where the milk milked by the teat-cup assemblies is collected; Final Milking Unit (the milk of each collector, corresponding to each animal, is sent to a container called the Final Milking Unit, although it can also be collected in a Pitcher or directly in the Tank); Tank (Normally, the Final Milking Units have little capacity so the accumulated milk is sent to a Refrigerated tank), hoses or connection pipes and other series of components necessary for the proper functioning of the milking plant.
- teat-sets intended for milking the animal
- collector first vessel where the milk milked by the teat-cup assemblies is collected
- Final Milking Unit the milk of each collector, corresponding to each animal, is sent to a container called the Final Milking Unit, although it can also be collected in a Pitcher or directly in the Tank
- Tank Normally, the Final Milking Units have little capacity so the accumulated milk is sent to
- milking There are two types of milking: fixed milking, in which the animal remains fixed for the duration of the milking operation; and mobile milking, in which the animal is moved while the milking operation lasts. Following the last case, we can mention a system commercially known as rotary or rotary room. In this system, milking is cyclic and continuous. Another system that is in the commercialization phase is one in which the animal is moved by a conveyor belt with autocapture system. The milk-collecting mechanism of the present invention is specially designed for the latter case.
- This figure shows the elevation and plan views of part of a milking parlor.
- This milking parlor is composed of a system of autocaptures and animal guidance (conveyor belt with autocapture system). Part of a milking installation or equipment is also shown.
- This milking parlor makes it possible for the animals to be milked to enter the tape one at a time and leave it one at a time, at the same time that there is a series of animals in simultaneous and continuous milking.
- fig. 2 shows the elevation of said milking parlor. It differs from fig. 1 in which the milk that enters the collection-distributor mechanism is collected directly in the container (Final Milking Unit, Tank, Cantara, etc.).
- FIG. 3 shows the collector-distributor mechanism mounted on the corresponding support. It shows the pipes (hoses or tubes) of air and milk inlet and outlet.
- a motor-reducer-variator transmits an automatic turning movement to the collector-distributor funnel of the mechanism.
- fig. 4 shows a sectional view EE (fig. 8) of the mechanism for collecting and distributing milk for animals.
- the collector-distributor funnel does not have the wheel shown in fig. 3, necessary for the turning movement to be automatic.
- the number of air outlet ducts in the body is half the number of air intake ducts in the funnel, every two sets-nipple will work with the same pulsation.
- fig. 5 shows a collector-distributor mechanism very similar to that of fig. 4.
- this mechanism can also be applied as a component in fields such as electropneumatics, electrohydraulics, automatic, etc.
- it can be called a distributor mechanism since the fluids (liquid, steam and / or gas) can circulate in one way or another through each of the ducts that in this example are intended for air and milk.
- the possible combinations are much greater.
- Two or more distributor mechanisms can also be joined together to create a larger distributor mechanism.
- Figure 1 shows elevation and plan views of part of a milking parlor.
- Said milking parlor is composed of a system of autocaptures and guidance 1 of animals 2 (conveyor belt with autocapture system) that moves in the direction 17.
- the tape shows the spaces 15 that each animal would occupy 2. It is also shown part of a milking installation or equipment.
- the collection-distributor mechanism 10 is fixed on the support 11. This support 11, in turn, is fixed on the wall 14.
- the collection-distributor mechanism 10 consists of two fundamental parts: the body 32 (fig. 4) which is fixed in the support 11, and the collector-distributor funnel 29 (fig. 4) that rotates inside the body 32.
- the conveyor belt with autocapture and guided system 1 moves the animals 2 and the milking set (sets -stop 4, manifold 7, air hose 5 and milk hoses 6 and 8) corresponding to each animal.
- This movement rotates funnel 29 in direction 16 and enables cyclic and continuous milking of the herd.
- the number of animals 2 (their udders 3) in simultaneous and continuous milking will be equal to the number of teat-sets 4 that are working simultaneously and continuously.
- the milked milk, through the milk hose 6 (the hose 5 is that of the air) is collected in the collector 7; of the collector 7, through the milk hose 8 (the hose 5 is that of the air) it is sent to the collection-distributor mechanism 10.
- the milk that comes from the series of (n 1, 2, 3 ...) nipple sets that are currently working simultaneously and continuously. From the collecting mechanism 10, through the tube 12 (in the direction 13), it sends the milk to a Final Milking Unit.
- milking equipment has powerful vacuum groups installed. The depression or the vacuum created by these is used to extract the air from one of the cavities of each teat cup, thus extracting the milk from the udder 3 of the animal.
- FIG. 2 shows an elevation view of part of a milking parlor.
- the collection-distributor mechanism 10 is fixed directly to a closed container 18 intended for milk collection.
- This container 18 can be a Final Unit of Milking, Tank, Pitcher, etc.
- FIG 3 shows the installation of the mechanism for collecting-distributing 10 milk for animals mounted on the support 11.
- a motor-reducer-variator 23 is installed, which allows an automatic rotation of the funnel 29 (fig. . 4).
- Turning the pinion 22 moves the belt 21 and rotates the wheel 19 that the funnel 29 carries on its front face. This transmission is hidden by the cover 20.
- the air inlet and outlet ducts 9 are also shown; and the milk inlet lines 8 and the milk outlet line 12.
- FIG 4 shows the collector-distributor mechanism (section EE of Figure 8).
- the funnel 29 does not show the wheel 19 (fig. 3) necessary for the automatic turning movement.
- the front face of the funnel 29 has six air inlet holes 39.
- body 32 has six air outlet holes 38. That is, each air inlet hole has its corresponding outlet port. In this way it is achieved that each set-nipple works independently.
- On this front face it also has six milk inlet holes 25. The milk that enters through each of the holes 25 is collected in the main hole of the funnel and exits through the tube 12.
- the connection of the rear end of the funnel 29 with the tube 12 is made by the retainer 34.
- the rear end of the funnel 29 rotates with respect to retainer 34; the tube 12 remains fixed.
- the main hole of the funnel 29 on its front face is covered by the plug 24. If necessary, after each milking, the plug 24 would be removed for cleaning the area where the six milk ducts meet.
- the retainer 26 seals the entrance of water, dust, etc. and the grease outlet of the self-lubricated bearing.
- Each pair of seals 28 makes it possible for each cavity 31 for air conduction to be independent of the rest of the cavities (in this case of the cavities 30) and of the outside.
- the cavity 30 is in connection with the outside through the hole 43 (fig. 9).
- the tube 12, by means of the clamping sleeve 36 and the disc 35, and the body 32 are positioned and fixed to the support 11 using the appropriate clamping elements.
- the pipes 40 (fig. 6) of the six air holes 39 are through, from side to side, along the funnel 29. But so that the pipes are independent, five of them are covered by captive screws 37.
- the cleaning of the collecting-distributor mechanism would be done as follows: the water that comes through the pipes 8 (fig. 3) and enters through each of the holes 25 leaves through the hole 12. To improve cleaning the main hole, the cap 24 can be removed and a new water line connected to this hole. So cleaning can be better and faster.
- Figure 5 shows a simplified model of the mechanism for collecting and distributing milk for animals.
- This model is the one that can be fixed directly in the closed milk collection container (Final Milking Unit, Tank, Cantara, etc.). It differs from the previous one in that the series of orifices (for example, six) of air inlet in the funnel meet and exit through an outlet orifice located in the body.
- the series of orifices for example, six
- Figure 6 shows a section AA of the collecting-distributor mechanism 10 (fig. 4). It shows the six air ducts 40 practiced. Five of the pipes 40 are covered by captive screws. For this cavity 31 it is only necessary that one of the pipes 40 is free.
- Figure 7 shows a section BB of the collecting-distributor mechanism 10 (fig. 4). It shows one of the five remaining connections between the hole 39 of the funnel 29 and the hole 38 of the tail 32. This connection is achieved by a radial hole 41 made in the funnel 29, which connects the conduit 40 with the cavity 31.
- Figure 8 shows a view D (is partially represented) of the collecting-distributor mechanism 10 (fig. 4). It shows the distribution of the six milk inlet holes 25, the six air inlet holes 39, and the main hole of the funnel 29.
- Figure 9 shows a CC section of the collector-distributor mechanism 10 (fig. 4).
- Each pair of seals 28, on each side, is separated by a cavity 30.
- the body 32 has a hole 43 made for each cavity 30.
- the hole 43 meets two functions: first, enable the introduction of lubricant to lubricate seals 28; and second, check the proper functioning (good sealing) of the seals 28 on each side of the cavity 30. If the seals 28 do not seal well, air will enter through the hole 43.
- the hole is practiced in such a way that the level of the container 42 exceeds and lubricates the lip of the seals 28.
