[0002] At present, a large number of pipes are used to transport liquid materials in dairy farms. Since there will be a certain amount of material residue on the inner wall of the pipe after use, if it is not effectively cleaned, the residual material is easy to breed bacteria and cause secondary pollution to the pipe. Therefore, after a period of use or after each use, the factory needs to thoroughly clean the inside of the pipe.

[0003] In order to save water for cleaning the pipeline and achieve thorough cleaning of the pipeline, the cleaning system of the dairy parlor is mostly designed to clean by forming a surge, rather than simply flooding the entire pipeline with cleaning liquid. Specifically, during the process of cleaning the pipeline, the cleaning system adds a predetermined amount of cleaning liquid to the pipeline and introduces a large amount of air behind the cleaning liquid, so that the introduced air pushes the cleaning liquid, so that the cleaning liquid fills the pipeline in a specific area, thereby achieving surge cleaning of the pipeline.

[0004] In the actual cleaning process, the size, movement speed and number of surges are directly related to the surge's flushing capacity and striking frequency. The existing cleaning system is difficult to effectively monitor the size, movement speed and number of surges, and the dirt removal efficiency and cleaning quality in the pipeline are difficult to guarantee.

It can be clearly seen that the installation position can be adjusted and set according to the actual layout of the milk delivery pipeline 8, as long as the functional requirements are met.

[0029] The data processing system is electrically connected to the display device and the alarm.
