Problems solved by technology

Analysis of these parameters is more time consuming than analysis of traditional milk parameters such as fat, protein and lactose content
Therefore, when a milk sample is delivered to a higher-level milk analysis unit, it may happen that the higher-level analysis unit is busy and the milk sample cannot be received and analyzed by another analysis unit
Therefore, the dispensing units known in the prior art do not ensure advanced analysis of all milk samples

Embodiment Construction

[0035] figure 1 A milk receptacle 1 is disclosed which collects milk from an animal being milked by a milking machine. The milk receiver 1 may be located at or in a local position in a milking station where the animal is milked, eg an automated robotic milking station.

[0036] The milk line 2 is connected to the bottom of the milk receiver 1 . The milk line 2 comprises a valve 3 and a milk pump 4 . When the valve 3 is in the open position and the milk pump 4 is activated, milk is pumped from the milk receiver 1 via the milk line 2 to a milk tank (not disclosed), which may be arranged to collect milk from a plurality of milk receivers 1 .

[0037] figure 1 Also disclosed is a milk sampling device 5 configured to receive a milk sample of milk from the milk receiver 1 prior to transferring the milk to a milk tank. The milk sampling device 5 comprises a dispensing unit 6, which in Figure 2-14 disclosed in more detail. A main valve 7 is provided for opening and closing the ...

Abstract

A distribution unit (6) for milk samples comprises a first distribution portion (8) with a flow channel (10) and a plurality of ports (11-15, 17-19) adjoining and communicating with the flow channel (10). The ports are configured to permit various media to be delivered to and from the flow channel (10). The distribution unit (6) also comprises a second distribution portion (6), which comprises a flow channel (110) and a plurality of ports (111-114) adjoining and communicating with the flow channel (110) of the second distribution unit and which comprises at least a milk inlet port (111) permitting milk to be delivered from the flow channel (10) of the first distribution portion (8) to the flow channel (110) of the second distribution portion (9) and which comprises a milk outlet port (112) permitting milk samples to be delivered from the flow channel (110) of the second distribution portion (9) to a further milk analyzing unit (35).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a dispensing unit for milk samples according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] During a milking operation, the milk obtained from the animal is usually transferred to a local milk receiver. When the milking operation is complete, the milking pump supplies milk from a local milk receiver to a milk tank configured to receive milk from a plurality of local milk receivers. From the milk tanks the milk can then be conveyed to the dairy industry for further processing. Milk samples of individual animals may be taken before or during feeding of milk to milk tanks. Various analyzes of traditional milk parameters can be performed on the milk samples to reflect the quality of the milk, such as fat, protein and lactose content. [0003] The milk to be analyzed can be distributed to different analysis units via the distribution unit. WO2017 / 030495 discloses an example of such a dispensing unit for a milk sample...
