milking system

Abstract

The invention discloses a milking system comprising: a milking device; and a milk storage system having: a temporary milk storage container (10) for temporarily storing milk from multiple milking operations; Milk pipe (8), which connects from the milking device to the temporary milk storage container; milk tank (12), which is used to store milk from the temporary milk storage container; control unit (13); main milk pipe (11), which From the temporary milk storage container connected to the milk tank; pressurized liquid supply (15), which can be controlled by the control unit, arranged and configured to supply pressurized liquid other than milk to the milk storage system; arranged on the main milk pipe The first discharge device (21) and the second discharge device (22) on the top; the selection device (24), which can be controlled by the control unit and is located on the main milk pipe and faces the first discharge device or the second discharge device , wherein the control unit is configured to implement a milk transfer action to transfer milk in the main milk tube to the milk tank by means of a pressurized liquid, wherein the liquid transfer action includes the steps of causing the pressurized liquid supply device and the second a discharge means is in fluid communication with the main milk tube and disconnects the fluid communication between the main milk tube and the second discharge means; allowing some quantity of pressurized liquid to flow under pressure from the pressurized liquid supply into the main milk tube; Disconnect the main milk line from fluid communication with the first discharge. Transferring milk in this way means less mechanical load and mixes with less air, which benefits quality. The invention also provides a temporary milk storage container and a method of this type.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a milking system comprising at least one milking device and a milk storage system, wherein the milk storage system comprises a temporary milk storage container configured to temporarily store milk from the milk from multiple milking operations of at least one milking unit; at least one milk tube connected to a temporary milk storage container for supplying milk from one or more of said milking units to a temporary a milk storage container; a milk tank for storing milk from the temporary milk storage container; a control unit for controlling the milk storage system; and a main milk pipe for transferring milk from the temporary storage The container is connected to a milk tank, wherein the milk storage system is configured to transfer milk from the temporary milk storage container to the milk tank via a main milk tube. Background technique [0002] Milking systems of this type are known per se and comprise at least one (and pref...
