Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of animal husbandry technology, and relates to an animal husbandry equipment, particularly an intelligent dairy cow milking device with self-cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] Because milk is rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals, it is highly favored by people. As a result, the dairy farming industry is developing rapidly. Milking equipment is needed to extract milk from cows. This equipment consists of a milking machine and a vacuum device. The vacuum device uses suction to simulate the sucking action of a calf, drawing out the milk. With increasing public concern for food safety, the quality and safety of dairy products are becoming increasingly important. Raw milk, as the very beginning of the dairy product supply chain, has a direct impact on the entire supply chain and is a prerequisite for product quality and safety. The main risk factors affecting the quality and safety of raw milk include veterinary drug residues, disinfectant residues, and microbial contamination.

[0003] In the production of raw milk, the milking process is a crucial step in ensuring quality and safety. Currently, dairy farms typically disinfect milking cups by soaking them in disinfectant solution. However, this practice presents several problems: First, disinfectant residue can lead to bacterial growth. Second, the milking cups need to be removed from the equipment for soaking, but the integrated design of the milking cups makes disassembly difficult, requiring specialized tools. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing the disinfection time and disrupting the normal milking process. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an intelligent dairy cow milking device with self-cleaning function, which has the advantages of good disinfection effect and short disinfection time, thus solving the problems of poor disinfection effect and long disinfection time of disinfectant.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A smart milking device for dairy cows with self-cleaning function includes a main frame, a movable milking frame and a milk collector connected in sequence from top to bottom. The milk collector is equipped with a milking cup and a milk delivery tube is provided along the direction of milk flow. The milking cup is connected to the milk collector through the milk delivery tube.

[0007] The milking cup includes a massage sleeve, a breast shield, and a milk storage cylinder connected in sequence from top to bottom. The milk storage cylinder has a nano silver ion sterilization module embedded in its inner side. Several connectors are provided on the side of the milk storage cylinder near the breast shield, and the connectors are snapped into the breast shield.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the milk storage cylinder is coated with food-grade silicone composite nano-silver antibacterial powder, and the massage sleeve is fitted onto the breast pump cover.

[0009] Preferably, the connector is a cylinder, the connector is disposed on the milk storage cylinder, and the breast pump cover has a hole for the connector to be inserted into, the connector being inserted into the breast pump cover through the hole.

[0010] Preferably, the connector is clearance-fitted with the socket, and the diameter of the connector is equal to the inner diameter of the socket.

[0011] Preferably, when the connector is connected to the socket, the connector is inserted into the socket, and the breast pump cover fits snugly against the milk storage cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the breast pump is provided with a fastening part, and the fastening part is connected to the milk storage cylinder. The fastening part includes three first connecting parts disposed on the outer periphery of the breast pump. A second connecting part is disposed on the outer periphery of the milk storage cylinder corresponding to the first connecting parts. A locking frame is hinged to the second connecting part through a hinge shaft, and the second connecting part is connected to the first connecting parts.

[0013] Preferably, the locking frame has a through-hole for the first connector to pass through, and the first connector passes through the through-hole.

[0014] Preferably, the three first connectors are arranged in a circumferential array along the breast shield, and the first connectors and the second connectors are located on the same vertical line.

[0015] Preferably, the locking frame has a positioning hole, and a positioning pin passes through the positioning hole, the outer diameter of the positioning pin being adapted to the inner diameter of the positioning hole.

[0016] Preferably, the first connector has a tapered groove, and the positioning pin is inserted into the tapered groove;

[0017] When the positioning pin is inserted into the tapered groove, the first connector is fixed to the locking frame.

[0018] The present invention adopts the above technical solution and has the following technical effects compared with the prior art:

[0019] (1) The intelligent dairy cow milking device embeds a nano silver ion sterilization module in the milk storage cylinder. The silver ions continuously release and destroy the bacterial cell membrane, achieving real-time antibacterial effect during the milking process. This avoids secondary pollution caused by chemical disinfectant residues, replaces the traditional disinfectant soaking method, eliminates the risk of disinfectant residues, and avoids damage to components caused by chemical corrosion. At the same time, the milk storage cylinder and the milk suction cover adopt a modular snap-fit ​​design. The plug-in parts are connected to the milk suction cover through the gap, which enables the quick disassembly and reassembly of each component of the milking cup. Regular replacement is supported to ensure the sterilization effect.

[0020] (2) In order to further strengthen the connection, the intelligent dairy cow milking device has a positioning hole on the locking frame, a positioning pin is inserted in the positioning hole, and a conical groove is opened on the first connecting piece. The positioning pin can be inserted into the conical groove, thereby realizing the firm fixation of the first connecting piece and the locking frame. This design not only enhances the stability of the connection, but also makes it easy for operators to quickly install and disassemble through simple plugging and unplugging actions.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0030] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] Please see Figure 1-4 The intelligent dairy cow milking device with self-cleaning function in this embodiment includes a main frame 100, a movable milking frame 200 and a milk collector 300 connected from top to bottom. A milking cup 31 is provided on the milk collector 300. A milk delivery tube 32 is provided on the milking cup 31 along the milk flow direction. The milking cup 31 is connected to the milk collector 300 through the milk delivery tube 32.

[0033] The milking cup 31 includes a massage sleeve 301, a breast shield 302 and a milk storage cylinder 303 connected from top to bottom. The inner side of the milk storage cylinder 303 is embedded with a nano silver ion sterilization module 3031. Several plug-in parts 304 are provided on the side of the milk storage cylinder 303 near the breast shield 302. The plug-in parts 304 are snapped into the breast shield 302.

[0034] Furthermore, the inner wall of the milk storage cylinder 303 is coated with food-grade silicone composite nano-silver antibacterial powder, and the massage liner 301 is fitted onto the breast pump 302.

[0035] It should be noted that food-grade silicone composite nano-silver antibacterial powder achieves sterilization by continuously releasing silver ions to destroy the structure of microbial cells.

[0036] It should be added that the milk collector 300 is also equipped with a three-dimensional scanning and positioning system. The three-dimensional scanning and positioning system includes multiple infrared sensors. These multiple infrared sensors can build a three-dimensional model of the udder. By linking the three-dimensional scanning and positioning system with the movable milking rack 200, millimeter-level precise cup fitting can be achieved. The infrared sensors build a three-dimensional model of the udder and identify the spatial coordinates of the teat, avoiding teat damage to the cow caused by cup fitting misalignment and improving cow welfare.

[0037] Furthermore, the breast pump 302 is equipped with a somatic cell monitoring sensor. The somatic cell monitoring sensor monitors somatic cells during the milking process. When the somatic cell count is greater than 500,000 / ml, an alarm will be triggered at the terminal to remind technicians to pay closer attention to the cow. The somatic cell sensor can output the first test result within 20 seconds after milking begins, and the alarm accuracy rate is greater than 95%, which is significantly more efficient than manual observation.

[0038] Furthermore, a raw milk pH monitoring sensor is installed inside the milk storage tank 303. During the milking process, the pH of the raw milk is monitored. When the pH is greater than 6.6, the terminal issues an early warning and stops milking the cow.

[0039] During application, when a cow enters the milking station, the infrared sensors are activated. Multiple infrared sensors scan the udder contour within 0.5 seconds, generating a point cloud model containing teat coordinates. The movable milking frame 200 then moves, adjusting the spatial pose of the milking cup 31. After the milking cup 31 is positioned correctly, the massage sleeve 301 is placed over the cow's teats, and milking begins. The milk travels through the milk suction cover 302 to the milk storage cylinder 303, and then through the milk delivery tube 32 to the milk collector 300. The nano-silver ion sterilization module 3031 on the breast shield 302 continuously releases silver ions to inhibit bacteria. When it is necessary to replace the nano-silver ion sterilization module 3031, pull the breast shield 302 upwards so that the connector 304 is disengaged from the socket 305. Then, align the socket 305 on the new breast shield 302 with the corresponding position of the connector 304, insert the connector 304 into the socket 305 of the breast shield 302, and then lock the breast shield 302 and the milk storage cylinder 303 together.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] The basic content is the same as in Example 1, except that:

[0042] Please see Figure 3-5 In this embodiment, the connector 304 is a cylinder and is disposed on the milk storage cylinder 303. The breast pump cover 302 has a socket 305 for the connector 304 to be inserted into, and the connector 304 is inserted into the breast pump cover 302 through the socket 305.

[0043] The connector 304 and the socket 305 are clearance-fitted, and the diameter of the connector 304 is equal to the inner diameter of the socket 305.

[0044] It should be noted that the diameter of the connector 304 is strictly equal to the inner diameter of the socket 305, achieving a no-wobbling blind insertion. After insertion, the breast pump 302 contacts the milk storage cylinder 303, eliminating interface gaps.

[0045] When the connector 304 is connected to the socket 305, the connector 304 is inserted into the socket 305, and the breast pump 302 is in contact with the milk storage cylinder 303.

[0046] When using this product, if the breast pump 302 needs to be replaced, pull the breast pump 302 upwards to disengage the connector 304 from the socket 305. Then, align the socket 305 on the new breast pump 302 with the corresponding connector 304 and insert the connector 304 into the socket 305 of the breast pump 302. Finally, lock the breast pump 302 to the milk storage container 303. The modular snap-fit ​​design allows each component of the milking cup 31 to be disassembled and replaced independently. When a component malfunctions or needs cleaning and sterilization, it is not necessary to replace or disassemble the entire milking cup 31, reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0047] Example 3:

[0048] The basic content is the same as in Example 1, except that:

[0049] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the breast pump 302 is provided with a fastening part, and the fastening part is connected to the milk storage cylinder 303. The fastening part includes three first connecting parts 306 disposed on the outer periphery of the breast pump 302. A second connecting part 307 is disposed on the outer periphery of the milk storage cylinder 303 corresponding to the first connecting parts 306. A locking frame 308 is hinged to the second connecting part 307 through a hinge shaft, and the second connecting part 307 is connected to the first connecting part 306.

[0050] The locking frame 308 has a through opening for the first connector 306 to pass through, and the first connector 306 passes through the through opening.

[0051] Three first connectors 306 are arranged in a circumferential array along the breast pump 302, and the first connectors 306 and the second connectors 307 are located on the same vertical line.

[0052] It should be noted that the circumferential array distribution ensures the uniformity and stability of the connection.

[0053] The locking frame 308 has a positioning hole 309, and a positioning pin 310 is inserted into the positioning hole 309. The outer diameter of the positioning pin 310 is matched with the inner diameter of the positioning hole 309, which ensures the accuracy and stability of the positioning.

[0054] The first connector 306 has a tapered groove, and the positioning pin 310 is inserted into the tapered groove;

[0055] When the locating pin 310 is inserted into the tapered groove, the first connecting piece 306 is fixed to the locking frame 308.

[0056] Understandably, the breast pump 302 is aligned with the second connector 307 of the milk storage cylinder 303 via three first connectors 306 on its outer periphery. The two are distributed along the same vertical line to ensure positioning accuracy. The locking frame 308 flips over to cover the first connectors 306 via a hinge axis, and its communication port allows the first connectors 306 to be inserted through, forming a preliminary mechanical coupling.

[0057] When the breast pump 302 needs to be disassembled or replaced, the positioning pin 310 is pulled out of the conical groove, and then the locking frame 308 is flipped over so that the first connector 306 can be disassembled from the communication port. This design enables quick disassembly and replacement of components, and facilitates cleaning, maintenance and sterilization. When the breast pump 302 needs to be connected to the milk storage cylinder 303, first align the first connector 306 with the communication port on the locking frame 308 and insert the first connector 306 into the communication port. Then flip the locking frame 308 and insert the positioning pin 310 into the positioning hole 309 so that the positioning pin 310 is inserted into the conical groove in the first connector 306.

[0058] In summary, the working principle of this self-cleaning intelligent milking device is as follows:

[0059] When a cow enters the milking station, the infrared sensors are activated. Multiple infrared sensors scan the udder contour within 0.5 seconds, generating a point cloud model containing teat coordinates. The movable milking frame 200 begins to move, adjusting the spatial position of the milking cups 31. After the milking cups 31 are in position, the massage sleeves 301 are placed on the cow's teats, and milking begins. The milk flows through the milk suction shield 302 to the milk storage cylinder 303, and then through the milk delivery tube 32 to the milk collector 300. The nano-silver ion sterilization module 3031 on the milk suction shield 302 continuously releases silver ions for antibacterial effects. When it is necessary to replace the nano-silver ion... When sterilizing module 3031, pull breast pump 302 upwards to disengage connector 304 from socket 305. Then align socket 305 on new breast pump 302 with the corresponding connector 304 and insert connector 304 into socket 305 of breast pump 302. Align first connector 306 with communication port on locking frame 308 and insert first connector 306 into communication port. Then flip locking frame 308 and insert positioning pin 310 into positioning hole 309 so that positioning pin 310 is inserted into conical groove in first connector 306.
