However, the detection position is fixed and can only be measured at a single position, and problems generated during transportation and subsequent production processes cannot be found; second, the conductivity measurement is carried out manually, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also the measurement results are easily affected by human factors and have poor real-time performance, which brings great difficulties to dairy farm managers and inconveniences to dairy cow disease diagnosis, timely treatment and breeding. Third, the conductivity device is suspended in the milk. The conductivity measurement device includes: a support part, a traction line, a tank for installing milk, and a detector for measuring the conductivity of milk. The detector is suspended in the milk, connected to the support part by a traction line, and moves along the direction of milk flow to obtain the conductivity of different areas in the tank, but the device still requires certain manual assistance.

[0025] In order to facilitate understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. Embodiments of the present application are provided in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a conductivity measuring device for the dairy industry includes a main pipe 1, a tee pipe 2 and a sub-pipe, the tee pipe 2 includes a first branch pipe 21 and a second branch pipe 22, and the middle areas of the first branch pipe 21 and the second branch pipe 22 are connected; the tee pipe 2 is formed with a first pipe opening 23, a second pipe opening 24 and a third pipe opening 25, the first pipe opening 23 is the pipe opening at the end of the first branch pipe 21, and the second pipe opening 24 and the third pipe opening 25 are respectively located at both ends of the second branch pipe 22.

[0028] The main pipe 1 is connected to the first pipe opening 23 of the tee pipe 2, the auxiliary pipe is connected to the second pipe opening 24 of the tee pipe 2, and a conductivity measuring probe 5 is installed at the third pipe opening 25 of the tee pipe 2. Specifically, the third pipe opening 25 is sealed by bolts, and the conductivity measuring probe 5 is fixed on the bolts, so that the conductivity measuring probe 5 can directly contact the milk in the tee pipe 2. The bolt sealing connection can ensure the stability of the installation of the conductivity measuring probe 5, which will not shake easily during the flow of milk, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement; on the other hand, the sealing connection can prevent milk from leaking from the third pipe opening 25, while avoiding direct contact between milk and air, reducing bacterial growth, and ensuring the quality and safety of milk.

[0029] A partition 4 is installed in the three-way pipe 2, and the bottom end of the partition 4 is fixed to the bottom wall of the second branch pipe 22, and the top end of the partition 4 is located in the first branch pipe 21, wherein the main pipe 1 is aligned and connected with the area on one side of the partition 4 facing the third pipe opening 25, so that milk can be directly discharged from the main pipe 1 and gathered in the area between the partition 4 and the conductivity measuring probe 5, reducing the flow rate of the milk, so that the conductivity measuring probe 5 can measure the conductivity more accurately.

[0030] A guide hole 41 is provided at the bottom end of the partition 4, and the milk gathered between the partition 4 and the conductivity measuring probe 5 can be slowly discharged into the auxiliary pipe through the guide hole 41; because the top end of the partition 4 is located in the first branch pipe 21, when more milk is gathered between the partition 4 and the conductivity measuring probe 5, the milk can flow from above the partition 4 into the auxiliary pipe.

[0031] Furthermore, an enlarged diameter section 11 is provided at the end of the main pipe 1, and the inner diameter of the enlarged diameter section 11 is larger than the inner diameter of the main pipe 1. The first branch pipe 21 of the tee pipe 2 has the same diameter as the enlarged diameter section 11. The enlarged diameter section 11 is provided to facilitate smooth connection between the tee pipe 2 and the main pipe 1. The inner diameters of the first branch pipe 21 and the enlarged diameter section 11 are set larger than the inner diameter of the main pipe 1, thereby forming a larger space for the milk conductivity measurement area, making the partition 4 easier to install, and the milk can also be more stably gathered in the area between the partition 4 and the conductivity measuring probe 5.

[0032] A slot 111 is provided on the top side wall of the expanded diameter section 11, and a connecting buckle 6 is installed on the outside of the tee pipe 2. When the tee pipe 2 is connected to the main pipe 1, the connecting buckle 6 is rotated to be connected to the slot 111. The design principle of this connection method is simple and practical. Through the cooperation of the slot 111 and the connecting buckle 6, the main pipe 1 and the tee pipe 2 are quickly connected and fixed. When installing, it is only necessary to rotate the connecting buckle 6 to make it snap into the slot 111. When disassembling, it can be separated by rotating it in the opposite direction. At the same time, it is also convenient to clean and maintain the inside of the device, and it also enhances the firmness of the connection to prevent the main pipe 1 and the tee pipe 2 from being separated during the milk delivery process.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3The end of the expanded diameter section 11 connected to the tee pipe 2 is also provided with a closing section 7, which includes a wide diameter section 71 and a narrow diameter section 72 connected to each other. The wide diameter section 71 is used to connect to the expanded diameter section 11, and the narrow diameter section 72 is located above the partition 4. The inner diameter of the narrow diameter section 72 is not less than the inner diameter of the main pipe 1. In addition, the area of ​​the narrow diameter section 72 located on the side of the partition 4 facing the auxiliary pipe is larger than the area of ​​the narrow diameter section 72 located on the side of the partition 4 facing the conductivity measuring probe 5, that is, S1>S2. Through the guiding effect of the narrow diameter section 72, more milk is directly discharged into the side of the partition 4 facing the auxiliary pipe and directly discharged through the auxiliary pipe; a small amount of milk is discharged into the area between the partition 4 and the conductivity measuring probe 5, so that the milk gathers in this area to slow down the flow rate of the milk, thereby facilitating the conductivity measuring probe 5 to accurately measure the conductivity of the milk. After the measurement is completed, the milk is discharged into the auxiliary pipe through the guide hole 41.

[0035] The closing section 7 is provided, and the change of the pipe diameter allows the milk to have a short buffer in the closing section, which can slow down the flow rate of the milk when entering the three-way pipe 2, making the milk more stable when entering the measuring area, creating more stable conditions for subsequent measurements; at the same time, it also reduces the impact of milk on the internal structure of the measuring device, and extends the service life of the device.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
