[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a milking cup set disinfection device for dairy farms includes a housing 1. A fixing mechanism 2 for securing the milking cup sets is located near the center inside the housing 1. A water supply mechanism 3 for cleaning the milking cup sets is located on the bottom surface of the housing 1. A drying mechanism 5 for drying is located near the top of the inner wall of the housing 1. A wastewater tank 4 for storing wastewater is located below the fixing mechanism 2 on the bottom surface of the housing 1. One side of the housing 1 can be opened for easy placement of the milking cup sets and replacement of the disinfectant solution. The water supply mechanism 3 provides clean water and disinfectant solution to the inside of the milking cup sets for cleaning and disinfection. After disinfection, the drying mechanism 5 provides high-temperature, high-pressure gas inside the milking cup sets to remove residual moisture, allowing the disinfected milking cup sets to be used more quickly for the next time. The wastewater from cleaning and disinfection is collected in the wastewater tank 4 for unified treatment, avoiding environmental pollution.

[0021] like Figure 2As shown, the fixing mechanism 2 includes a connecting block 21. The middle part of the connecting block 21 is annular and the two sides are rectangular. The two ends of the connecting block 21 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1. A fixing component 26 for fixing the milking cup group is fixedly connected inside the annular part of the connecting block 21. A gap for discharging wastewater is provided between the fixing component 26 and the annular part of the connecting block 21. Two baffles 22 are provided on the annular surface of the connecting block 21. The two baffles 22 are rotatably connected by a hinge. A transition box 23 is fixedly connected to the annular bottom surface of the connecting block 21. The top opening of the transition box 23 is located below the gap between the fixing component 26 and the connecting block 21. A sewage pipe 24 is provided at the bottom of the transition box 23. The end of the sewage pipe 24 away from the transition box 23 is located above the wastewater tank 4. Four circular array disinfectant supply mechanisms 25 for storing disinfectant are provided on the outer wall of the baffle 22. A flexible hose 27 is provided near the top of one of the baffles 22. First, fix the milking cup assembly to the fixing component 26 to prevent the position of the milking cup assembly from shifting during cleaning and disinfection, which would affect the disinfection effect. The hose 27 is fitted onto the milk outlet of the milk collector of the milking cup assembly. Wastewater after cleaning and disinfection can be discharged through the hose 27. The two baffles 22 are connected by a hinge. When in use, the baffle 22 on the side without the hose 27 can be opened to facilitate fixing the milking cup assembly. After fixing, the baffle 22 can be closed to ensure that the cleaning and disinfection environment is relatively independent, avoid cross-infection, and improve the cleaning and disinfection effect.

[0022] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the fixing component 26 includes a fixing base 261. The surface of the fixing base 261 has four circular array water outlets. Four circular array annular partitions 262 are fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing base 261. A cleaning component 263 is arranged inside the annular partitions 262. The cleaning component 263 includes a rotating shaft. A brush 264 for cleaning the milking cup assembly is arranged near the top of the rotating shaft. A guide vane 265 is arranged near the bottom of the rotating shaft. A fixing shaft 266 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing base 261 near the center of the four water outlets. A spiral groove 267 is arranged on the surface of the fixing shaft 266 near the middle. A groove is opened inside the rotating shaft and the groove fits onto the outside of the fixing shaft 266. A rotating ball 268 is fixedly connected inside the groove and is slidably connected inside the spiral groove 267. The milking cup is fixed inside the annular partition 262. The cleaning component 263 can extend into the milking cup to clean its interior. The spiral groove 267 has one side higher than the other. When the cleaning component 263 rotates, the rotating ball 268 slides within the spiral groove 267. The cleaning component 263 is at its highest position when the rotating ball 268 passes through the highest point of the spiral groove 267, and at its lowest position when it passes through the lowest point of the spiral groove 267. Under the action of the rotating ball 268 and the spiral groove 267, the cleaning component 263 can reciprocate along the height direction, increasing the contact area between the brush 264 in the cleaning component 263 and the inner wall of the milking cup assembly, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0023] The annular baffle 262 and the cleaning assembly 263 are located above the water outlet, and the diameter of the water outlet is smaller than the inner diameter of the annular baffle 262.

[0024] The disinfectant supply mechanism 25 includes a storage tank 251. Inside the storage tank 251, there is a counterweight plate 252 for increasing pressure. On the side of the counterweight plate 252 that does not contact the disinfectant, there is a counterweight block. On the bottom surface of the storage tank 251, there is a supply pipe 253. The end of the supply pipe 253 away from the storage tank 251 extends into the interior of the fixed base 261. High-concentration disinfectant is stored in storage tank 251. Storage tank 251 and counterweight provide pressure to the disinfectant liquid in storage tank 251 so that the disinfectant can smoothly enter the water delivery mechanism 3 and mix with clean water to disinfect the inside of the milking cup assembly. The supply pipe 253 used by the disinfectant supply mechanism 25 is an elastic pipe that can be freely extended and retracted. The disinfectant supply mechanism 25 is fixed on baffle 22. The freely extendable pipe can ensure that baffle 22 can be opened smoothly. When disinfectant needs to be added, counterweight plate 252 and counterweight can be taken out and disinfectant can be added into storage tank 251. After adding, counterweight plate 252 and counterweight can be put back into storage tank 251.

[0025] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the water delivery mechanism 3 includes a clean water tank 31. A water pump 32 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clean water tank 31. The water inlet end of the water pump 32 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clean water tank 31 through a pipe and extends into the interior of the clean water tank 31. A water supply pipe 33 is fixedly connected to the water outlet end of the water pump 32 and extends into the interior of the fixed base 261. Four circular array of water outlet pipes 34 are fixedly connected to the outside of the water supply pipe 33 and extend into the interior of the water supply pipe 33. The four water outlet pipes 34 are located inside the fixed base 261. A throat-shaped pipe 35 is fixedly connected to the end of the four water outlet pipes 34 away from the water supply pipe 33. The throat-shaped pipe 35 is located inside the water outlet and has a structure that is thicker on both sides and thinner in the middle. One end of the liquid supply pipe 253 that extends into the interior of the fixed base 261 is fixedly connected to the thinner part in the middle of the throat-shaped pipe 35 and extends into the interior of the throat-shaped pipe 35.

[0026] The guide vane 265 has a spiral curved surface. When the water pump 32 delivers water from the clean water tank 31 through the water supply pipe 33, the water outlet pipe 34 and the throat pipe 35 to the inside of the milking cup assembly to clean the inside of the milking cup assembly, the high-pressure water flow will impact the guide vane 265 and drive the guide vane 265 and the brush 264 to rotate and clean the inside of the milking cup. The bristles of the brush 264 are of different lengths, which can form a wavy brush surface. When the brush 264 rotates, the bristles of different lengths will alternately contact the inner wall of the milking cup, generating varying contact pressure and contact frequency, which can more effectively agitate the water flow, break up stubborn dirt, and improve the cleaning effect.

[0027] When the water flows through the guide vane 265, it not only drives the vane to rotate, but the guide vane 265 can also reverse the action on the water flow, causing the water flow to rotate and form a spiral motion. The spiral motion of the water flow generates centrifugal force, causing the water flow to spiral forward closely along the inner wall of the milking cup assembly, evenly washing every corner of the inner wall. It can clean the gaps and crevices that are difficult to reach by ordinary direct current, reducing the cleaning blind spots. When the cleaning component 263 rotates, it can drive the ball bearing 268 to slide inside the spiral groove 267, causing the brush 264 to move up and down inside the milking cup assembly, increasing the cleaning area and improving the cleaning effect.

[0028] When the water flows through the narrower part of the throat-shaped tube 35, the flow rate increases, and the pressure of the water flowing through it decreases. The supply pipe 253 is connected to the narrower part of the throat-shaped tube 35. The counterweight plate 252 and the counterweight block provide pressure to the disinfectant water in the storage tank 251, making the pressure in the storage tank 251 higher than the pressure when the water flows through the narrower part of the throat-shaped tube 35. This forces the disinfectant water into the throat-shaped tube 35 and mixes it with the clean water. After mixing, the milking cup assembly is disinfected. When the mixed disinfectant water and clean water flow through the guide vane 265, the guide vane 265 will drive the water flow to rotate. The rotating water flow can mix the disinfectant water and clean water more evenly. The rotating water flow carries the mixed disinfectant water into gaps and depressions, improving the disinfection effect.

[0029] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a sealing block 351 is provided at the end of the throat-shaped tube 35 away from the outlet pipe 34. A guide plate 355 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sealing block 351. There is a gap between the sealing block 351 and the guide plate 355 for disinfectant and clean water to pass through. A spring 354 for resetting is provided at the bottom of the sealing block 351. The spring 354 is fixedly connected to the axis of the throat-shaped tube 35. A valve 352 for opening and closing the supply pipe 253 is provided on the outside of the throat-shaped tube 35 near the connection position between the supply pipe 253 and the throat-shaped tube 35. A circular raft plate 353 is slidably connected inside the valve 352. The circular raft plate 353 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the guide plate 355. The gap between the sealing block 351 and the guide plate 355 is located below the guide vane 265, so that the water flow can directly act on the guide vane.

[0030] The fixed base 261 has an inclined drain outlet 269 for discharging wastewater. The higher end of the drain outlet 269 extends into the water outlet and is higher than the sealing block 351, while the lower end of the drain outlet 269 extends into the outside of the fixed base 261.

[0031] When water pump 32 is pumping clean water, the high-pressure water flow impacts the bottom surface of sealing block 351, causing sealing block 351 to overcome the tension of spring 354 and move upward, opening the water outlet end of throat tube 35. This ensures that water can flow through the gap between sealing blocks 351 and 355 to impact guide vanes 265. After cleaning, water pump 32 stops working, and spring 354 can reset sealing block 351 to block the water outlet end of throat tube 35, preventing wastewater from backflowing through the pipe and contaminating the clean water tank. 31. It affects the cleaning and disinfection effect of the subsequent device. After the sealing block 351 blocks the throat tube 35, the wastewater in the milking cup group will flow back and be discharged through the drain 269 into the transition box 23 through the gap between the fixed component 26 and the connecting block 21. Finally, it will be discharged into the wastewater tank 4 through the sewage pipe 24. The guide plate 355 is fixedly connected to the sealing block 351. When the sealing block 351 rises, the guide plate 355 can block the drain 269 to prevent the disinfectant water from being discharged through the drain 269.

[0032] Valve 352 is located near the connection between supply pipe 253 and throat tube 35. Circular raft plate 353 is fixedly connected to guide plate 355. When water flow impacts sealing block 351 and drives guide plate 355 upward, guide plate 355 drives circular raft plate 353 to slide upward inside valve 352. At this time, supply pipe 253 and throat tube 35 are connected. Disinfectant inside storage tank 251 will enter throat tube 35 under pressure and mix with clean water. After mixing, it disinfects milking cup assembly. When water pump 32 stops working, sealing block 351 and guide plate 355, under the action of spring 354, drive circular raft plate 353 to slide downward inside valve 352, blocking supply pipe 253. At this time, disinfectant in 251 will not enter throat tube 35.

[0033] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the drying mechanism 5 includes an air heating box 51, an air pump 52 is installed outside the air heating box 51, a transition block 54 is fixedly connected to the end of the hose 27 away from the baffle 22, a reset baffle 56 is rotatably connected inside the transition block 54, an air supply pipe 53 is fixedly connected to the air outlet end of the air pump 52, an upper surface of the transition block 54 is fixedly connected to the end of the air supply pipe 53 away from the air pump 52 and extends into the interior of the transition block 54, a drain pipe 55 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the transition block 54 away from the hose 27, the drain pipe 55 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 1, and the drain pipe 55 is located above the wastewater tank 4. The air pump 52 is fixed on the inner wall of the housing 1. The hose 27 is sleeved on the milk outlet of the milking cup assembly. The wastewater after cleaning and disinfecting the milking cup assembly is discharged through the hose 27 and the milk outlet, and finally discharged into the wastewater tank 4 through the drain pipe 55. The reset baffle 56 is equipped with a reset spring. In the initial state, the reset baffle 56 can block the interface between the air supply pipe 53 and the transition block 54 to prevent the waste liquid from entering the air supply pipe 53 and causing pollution when it is discharged.

[0034] The air heating box 51 heats the air, and the air pump 52 pressurizes the heated air and blows it into the milking cup assembly through the air supply pipe 53, hose 27 and milk outlet. This blows out the residual disinfectant and clean water in the milking cup assembly and dries it. The residual wastewater and air are discharged through the mouth of the milking cup into the water outlet, and finally through the drain outlet 269 through the gap between the connecting block 21 and the fixing component 26 into the cleaning component 263. The wastewater is discharged into the wastewater tank 4 through the sewage pipe 24. The pressurized hot air causes the reset baffle 56 to rotate. After rotation, the reset baffle 56 blocks the interface between the transition block 54 and the drain pipe 55 to prevent the drain pipe 55 from diverting the hot air pressure entering the milking cup assembly and affecting the drying effect. When the high-pressure hot air passes through the guide vane 265, it causes the guide vane 265 and the brush 264 to rotate. The brush 264 can disperse the larger water droplets attached to the inner wall of the milking cup, increasing the contact area between the water droplets and the hot air and improving the drying efficiency.

[0035] It should be noted that the specific installation method, circuit connection method, and control method of the water pump 32 and air pump 52 used in this invention are all conventional designs, and will not be described in detail in this invention.

[0036] The working principle of this invention is as follows: First, the milking cup assembly is fixed on the fixing component 26. The hose 27 is fitted onto the milk outlet of the milking cup assembly. The water delivery mechanism 3 delivers clean water into the milking cup assembly while simultaneously drawing in disinfectant. As the water passes through the guide vane 265 and the brush 264, the guide vane 265 and the brush 264 rotate, and the clean water and disinfectant are mixed evenly to disinfect and clean the inside of the milking cup assembly. After cleaning, the drying mechanism 5 delivers high-pressure hot air into the milking cup assembly to remove the residual moisture, allowing the cleaned and disinfected milking cup assembly to dry quickly and be used again. The wastewater from disinfection and cleaning is collected in the wastewater tank 4 to avoid environmental pollution.
