Embodiment Construction

[0025] figure 1 A first example of a rotary milking parlor 100 and its control system according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The proposed control system comprises sensor means and a control unit 150 .

[0026] The sensor arrangement is configured to measure the movable platform 110 representing the carousel 100 relative to a static reference point P ref The positional parameter P. The control unit 150 is configured to receive the parameter P and based thereon to generate a control signal Ctrl affecting the motion of the movable platform 110, eg its rotational speed.

[0027] The sensor device again comprises a first transmitter unit 210 , at least three receiver stations 221 , 222 and 223 respectively and a processing unit 230 .

[0028] The first transmitter unit 210 has a first transmitter antenna and is configured to be placed on the movable platform 110 so as to move with any movement of the movable platform 110 . The first transmitter unit 210 ...

Abstract

A sensor arrangement measures a parameter (P) representing a position of a movable platform (110) of a rotary parlor (100) relative to a stationary reference point (Pref). Based on the parameter (P),in turn, a control unit (150) influences the movement of the movable platform (110). A first transmitter unit (210) with a first transmitter antenna is placed on the movable platform (110) and thus moves along with the movable platform (110). A first radio signal (SID) emitted from the transmitter antenna contains a 10 timing reference and uniquely identifies the first transmitter unit (210). At least three receiver stations (221, 222, 223; 224, 225, 226) are stationary placed with a respective receiver antenna located such that the first radio signal (SID) is received via line-of-sight propagation. Based on the first radio signal (S ID) and15 respective propagation times derived from the timing reference in the first radio signal (SID), the receiver stations generate the parameter (P).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to rotary milking parlors. More specifically, the present invention relates to a control system for a carousel, a carousel and a method of controlling a carousel. The invention also relates to a computer program and a non-volatile data carrier. Background technique [0002] A rotary milking parlor (also known as a rotary positioner) enables efficient milking of larger animals. The first rotary milking parlor went into operation in 1930. Since then, the basic technical concept has been gradually refined. Among other things, it is important to track the position of the equipment's movable platform for safety reasons and to ensure consistent operation. [0003] US2010 / 0147221 describes an apparatus and method for operating a carousel milking facility with a plurality of milking stations arranged on a movable platform. The movement of the platform is determined relative to a reference point, and the position of ...
