An intelligent milking system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent milking system and an intelligent milking method. The invention relates to the field of animal husbandry automated intelligent milking equipment. The intelligent milking system comprises a liquid and gas storage and delivery system, a milk cup set, a negative pressure system, a waste liquid separation system and a control system. The liquid and gas storage and delivery system comprises a cleaning unit, a disinfection unit, a compressed gas unit and a medicated bath unit. The waste liquid separation system comprises a waste liquid collection container and a milk liquid storage container. The negative pressure system comprises a first negative pressure device and a second negative pressure device. The control system comprises a controller. The invention also discloses an intelligent milking method. With the system, cleaning, disinfection, air-drying, pre-milking, milking, medicated bath and cup-releasing works during a milking process can be automatically completed. Milk livestock nipples are effectively subjected to cleaning, disinfection, air-drying and medicated bath in time, such that mastitis occurrence and cross-infection are reduced, and milking worker burden is reduced. Also, cup releasing is realized in time, such that the milk livestock are prected from hurts caused by over-suction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a milking system and method, more specifically, to a method for cleaning, sterilizing, air-drying, pre-milking and automatic milking of animal teats before milking, as well as dipping and taking off after milking. Smart milking system and milking method for cups. Background technique [0002] At present, the milking equipment used in domestic pastures is relatively backward, and most of them need to be done manually, because the automatic milking equipment is imported from abroad, the price is relatively expensive, and it is not suitable for China's national conditions. Existing milking equipment cannot adjust the pulsation frequency according to pressure and milk volume changes to realize bionic milking, which often causes overcrowding or unclean milk collection for dairy animals such as cows. As we all know, the standardized milking process includes cleaning, disinfection, air drying, inspection of three milks, milki...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The living environment of cows in domestic pastures is very harsh, and there are often some dirty things on the teats of cows. Faced with this situation, in some pastures with relatively standardized management, milkers can still clean the cows individually before milking In addition to teat cleaning, the disinfection and drying of the cow’s teats, as well as the medicated bath after milking, are all done manually by the milker, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the work efficiency is low

For some small and medium-sized pastures, the management is not standardized. In order to save time and effort during the milking process, the milking workers will always save a few of the milking processes mentioned above on purpose, and it is often shared by several cows. Wipe with a towel, resulting in cross-infection of mastitis, which is also the main reason why the proportion of domestic dairy cows suffering from mastitis remains high

As a result, neither the quality of the dairy product nor the health of the udder of the cow can be guaranteed.
