Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of milking machine technology, and more specifically, to a milking machine that is easy to clean. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of animal husbandry, people's demand for dairy products has increased. Traditional manual milking has gradually been replaced by more efficient milking machines. A milking machine consists of two parts: a milking device and a vacuum device. The vacuum device uses suction to simulate the sucking action of calves (sheep) to extract milk. The milking device, which is in direct contact with the cow's (sheep's) body, is the part of the milking machine that is more easily contaminated. Therefore, it needs to be cleaned before and after each use to ensure the cleanliness of the extracted milk.
[0003] In response, Chinese patent application number CN202323089855.X discloses a milking machine with a cleaning structure, including a platform, a milk storage tank, a vacuum pump, a milking machine body, a handrail assembly, a shower assembly, a nozzle locking assembly, a milking machine locking assembly, a water outlet, and a docking ring. This utility model uses the shower assembly in conjunction with the docking ring structure used to fix and place the milking machine body to automatically perform high-pressure shower cleaning on its interior, eliminating the trouble of manually holding the milking machine for cleaning, greatly reducing the difficulty of cleaning work. The method of directly and continuously high-pressure showering the inside of the milking machine avoids the formation of sanitary dead corners, resulting in good cleaning effect. It solves the problem that the method of manually rinsing and cleaning the milking machine with an external water source is labor-intensive and has poor cleaning effect.
[0004] This milking machine uses a milking machine locking assembly to fix the milking machine body onto the docking ring. However, when fixing it, the bottom of the milking machine needs to contact the inner wall of the docking ring, making the milking machine easily contaminated. Furthermore, it cannot recycle water during cleaning, resulting in a waste of water resources.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes a milking machine that is easy to clean. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a milking machine that is easy to clean.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A milking machine that is easy to clean includes: a movable frame, a storage tank mounted on the top surface of the movable frame, the surface of the storage tank being connected to one end of a vacuum pump via a pipe, the other end of the vacuum pump being connected to a connecting pipe, and a milking device being connected to the end of the connecting pipe.
[0009] A cleaning structure is installed on the top surface of the mobile frame. The cleaning structure includes a water tank, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the mobile frame. A water pump is installed on the top surface of the water tank. One end of the water pump is connected to a nozzle through a pipe. A collection box is installed on the front side of the water tank. A drain pipe is provided on the surface of the collection box. A round pipe is fixedly connected to the top surface of the collection box. A flip cover is installed on the outer wall of the round pipe through a connecting line. A positioning ring is fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the milking machine. A hand-twisted threaded cap is fitted on the outer side of the positioning ring. A rotating groove is opened on the inner wall of the hand-twisted threaded cap. A sealing ring is adhered to the inner wall of the hand-twisted threaded cap.
[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the milking machine is inserted inside the upper end of the round tube.
[0011] Preferably, the other end of the water pump is connected to a pipe, which is inserted inside the water tank. The nozzle is located inside the circular pipe and below the milker, and the nozzle is vertically arranged.
[0012] Preferably, the circular tube communicates with the interior of the collection box, and the flip cover is adapted to the circular tube.
[0013] Preferably, the positioning ring is movably installed inside the rotating groove, and the hand-twisted threaded cap is threadedly connected to the upper outer wall of the round tube.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom surface of the sealing ring is in close contact with the top surface of the circular tube.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This invention features a cleaning structure. In use, the vacuum pump is turned on, and milk is drawn into a storage tank via the milking machine and connecting pipe for collection and storage. For cleaning, the flip-top can be removed from the top of the round tube, and the milking machine is inserted downwards into the tube. The hand-screwed cap is then rotated to screw onto the outer side of the upper end of the round tube, securing the milking machine to the inner side of the upper end. This prevents the milking machine from contacting the tube and avoids contamination. Furthermore, during rotation, the hand-screwed cap causes the rotating groove to fit against the top surface of the round tube, ensuring a tight seal at the connection and preventing water spillage. Next, the water pump is activated, drawing water from the storage tank into the nozzle, which sprays upwards to clean the bottom of the milking machine. Wastewater generated during cleaning flows downwards into a collection tank. After cleaning, the drain pipe is opened to drain the wastewater from the collection tank for reuse. This design is highly functional and practical. Attached Figure Description
