Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of milking machine technology, specifically a portable milking machine. Background Technology

[0002] A milking machine is a device used to extract milk from dairy animals such as cows and sheep. It is mainly divided into two types: manual and electric. Traditional manual milking machines require manual operation, extracting milk by manually squeezing. Electric milking machines, on the other hand, use electricity to drive a pump and a negative pressure system to automate the milking process. The basic structure of a milking machine typically includes teat cups, a vacuum pump, tubing, and a milk storage container. The teat cups create negative pressure to draw milk from the udder and transfer it to the storage container, thereby improving milking efficiency and milk yield. Using milking machines not only reduces stress on cows but also reduces the labor intensity of manual milking. Overall, milking machines are widely used in modern animal husbandry and are important equipment for improving breeding efficiency and ensuring the quality of dairy products.

[0003] Existing stand-type milking machines are easily moved through structures such as rollers, and integrate equipment such as milk storage tanks and vacuum pumps to complete the automated vacuum milking process;

[0004] However, the nipple cups and tubing used in current milking machines are mainly fixed to the bracket by simple wrapping or clips. In this way, the nipple cups are very easy to loosen due to vibration and collision when the milking machine is transported or encounters bumpy roads. At the same time, the exposed nipple cups are constantly exposed to the external environment, which not only makes them easy to get contaminated with dust, dirt and other pollutants, but also may cause the silicone material to age due to rain splashes and moisture corrosion. Furthermore, the difficulty of subsequent cleaning and disinfection increases, making it difficult to meet the modern requirements of efficiency and hygiene. Therefore, a portable milking machine is provided. Utility Model Content
