Embodiment Construction

[0037] Parallel rotating chamber 1 according to the present invention is shown in the accompanying drawings figure 1 shown. The chamber 1 comprises a rotatable platform 3 which has a ring shape and which is provided with fifty milking stalls 5 arranged side by side along the platform 3 circumferentially. Since the chamber 1 is of the parallel rotation type, the stall 5 is arranged such that the cow 7 to be milked standing inside the stall 5 faces radially inwardly towards the center of rotation 9 of the platform 3 . In use, the platform 3 is rotated in an anti-clockwise direction as indicated by arrow 11 by a suitable drive mechanism.

[0038] see figure 1 , it should be understood that the cows 7 to be milked gather at the waiting area 19 and walk onto the platform 3 one by one at the stall entrance 20 . The entrance 20 comprises an animal walking passage with a width substantially equal to that of the milking stall 5 . The width is sufficient for an animal such as a cow ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to apparatus for milking an animal and provides a milking parlour (1) comprising first and second robotic manipulation devices (100, 200) and a plurality of milking stalls (5) provided on a platform (3) moveable relative to the robotic manipulation devices (100, 200) wherein the robotic manipulation devices (100, 200) are positioned so as to be capable of simultaneously servicing neighbouring milking stalls (5) on the platform (3).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a milking parlor and method of operating the same, in particular but not exclusively to a rotary milking parlor for milking animals such as cows and to a method for operating the milking parlor Methods. Background technique [0002] There are various types of milking parlors known in the dairy industry, and the present invention is particularly relevant to what is commonly referred to as a rotary milking parlor. This type of milking parlor is configured with a considerable number of milking stalls arranged in a circular configuration on a rotating annular platform and is especially intended for handling large numbers of animals. The platform rotates at a relatively low constant speed so that cows can easily step onto the platform from a stationary waiting place and thus enter the milking stall. If the operator deems it necessary, the rotational movement of the platform can be stopped immediately to allow sufficient ti...
