Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically a parallel continuous milking station suitable for moderately sized dairy goat farms. Background Technology

[0002] Dairy goat farming is an important part of my country's animal husbandry, playing a vital role in ensuring the safety of dairy products and balancing the dairy product structure. In recent years, goat milk has seen continuous growth in market demand due to its unique nutritional value and health benefits. Compared to cow's milk, goat milk has smaller fat globules (about one-third the size), a protein structure closer to breast milk, and is rich in short-chain fatty acids, vitamins A and B, calcium, phosphorus, and immunoglobulins, making it easier for the human body to digest and absorb. It is especially suitable for infants, the elderly, and people with lactose intolerance.

[0003] The popularity of goat milk products has also driven the development of the dairy goat farming industry. Moderately sized family farms with 100-200 goats are the main model for dairy goat farming. Milking is a daily routine in dairy goat farming. Large farms typically use rotary milking stations with 80-120 milking positions, offering high efficiency, but at a high cost and unsuitable for small and medium-sized farms. Currently, small and medium-sized farms mainly use small mobile milking machines, which are less expensive, but require two operators and can only milk 1-2 goats at a time, resulting in low efficiency. This leads to small and medium-sized farms spending a lot of manpower and time on milking, which is detrimental to their long-term development. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to propose a modular and intelligent parallel continuous milking station suitable for moderately sized dairy goat farms. Through a recovery device located on the side of the milking station, combined with automatic cup retrieval, continuous milking is achieved based on the parallel milking station design. Furthermore, by integrating a vacuum milking pulsation system, a weight monitoring system, and a data management platform, it achieves highly efficient, low-cost, and compact automated and intelligent milking, meeting the actual needs of small and medium-sized farms.

[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, this device mainly consists of an upper sheep weighing module 1, an upper sheep pedal 2, a frame module 3, a lower sheep pedal 4, a lower sheep weighing module 5, and a milking system module 6.

[0044] After the upper sheep weighing module 1 and the upper sheep pedal 2 are aligned, and the lower sheep pedal 4 and the lower sheep weighing module 5 are aligned, they are fixed to the concrete ground with expansion bolts. The frame module 3 is fastened to the upper sheep pedal 2 and the lower sheep pedal 4 with bolts respectively. The flexible milking cup group 6-13 of the milking system module 6 is suspended on the railing of the frame module 3 to achieve a certain degree of connection.

[0045] At the entrance of the milking station of the upper sheep weighing module 2, there is a weighing device frame 1-2, measuring 1500mm long × 1100mm wide × 1100mm high. The platform is made of a 35mm thick non-slip steel plate, with a weighing scale 1-1 embedded under the steel plate. The top is designed with 6 reinforcing ribs, each approximately 1100mm long × 20mm wide × 20mm high, spaced 230mm apart. RFID identification device mounting holes are opened on both sides of the frame 1-2, each embedding an RFID identification device I 1-3. At the bottom of the outlet, there is a sliding groove 1-8 approximately 10mm deep. A barrier door 1-4 is installed inside the sliding groove 1-8, and a rack 1-7 is bolted to its top. The barrier door drive motor 1-5 is bolted to the top of the frame 1-2. The output shaft of the barrier door drive motor 1-5 is connected to a gear 1-6, which meshes with the rack 1-7 mounted on the upper part of the barrier door 1-4, enabling the barrier door 1-4 to slide.

[0046] The upper sheep ramp 2 and the lower sheep ramp 4 have the same structure. Taking the upper sheep ramp 2 as an example, its specific structure is as follows: the support frame 2-4 is made of stainless steel, the ramp is 1300mm long × 1100mm wide × 900mm high, and the angle is about 35 degrees; the surface of the frame is a welded anti-slip platform 2-3, with anti-slip strips of 1100mm long × 30mm wide × 5mm high spaced 100mm apart on the ramp, and anti-slip dots of 30mm diameter spaced 50mm apart on the flat surface; side baffles 2-1 with a height of about 270mm and side baffles 2-2 with a height of about 1000mm are welded on both sides of the frame.

[0047] The frame module 3 includes a base 3-1 with dimensions of 3300mm (length) × 1500mm (width) × 750mm (height). The base 3-1 has four reinforcing ribs (1500mm × 80mm × 80mm) at its bottom, and a flat plate for fixing the motor. The frame on both sides of the conveyor belt has holes for the drive pulley and driven pulley, respectively. The conveyor belt / synchronous split belt drive motor 3-12 drives the drive pulley of the conveyor belt to rotate through a transmission mechanism of sprocket 3-14, thereby driving the conveyor belt 3-4. The conveyor belt 3-4 is 3.1m long × 1m wide, and the baffle spacing of the synchronous split belt 3-3 is 300mm. Two support plates are designed on the top of one side of the frame. The top of the support plates has through holes and is fastened to the material trough 3-2 by bolts. Two uprights are fixed to the inside of the support plates at both ends by screws. The sliding shaft in the middle of the uprights is equipped with the drive wheel and driven wheel of the synchronous dividing belt 3-3, both with a diameter of 180mm. The drive wheel of the synchronous dividing belt is driven by the sprocket transmission mechanism of the drive wheel 3-13 of the conveyor belt, which in turn drives the synchronous dividing belt 3-3 to move.

[0048] A synchronous hook belt 3-8 is installed on the synchronous hook belt drive pulley and driven pulley on the other side of the conveyor belt 3-4, achieving synchronous movement with the conveyor belt 3-4. The base below the synchronous hook belt 3-8 has two protruding flat plates, with the plate on the drive pulley side being higher and the plate on the driven pulley side being lower. There are upright mounting holes on the flat plates, and two uprights are installed. The recycling conveyor belt drive pulley and driven pulley are installed between the base and the uprights. The recycling conveyor belt drive pulley is driven by the recycling conveyor belt drive motor 3-11 through a sprocket transmission mechanism. The diameter of the recycling conveyor belt drive pulley is larger than that of the conveyor belt drive pulley, and its linear speed is slightly faster than that of the conveyor belt. There are two upright mounting holes on the top of the frame on this side, and uprights with a length of 50mm × width of 50mm × height of 1000mm are installed. There is a crossbar with a diameter of 30mm and a length of about 1100mm in the middle of the upright. A disinfection tank 3-10 with a length of 2800mm × width of 250mm × height of 150mm is designed at the bottom, located below the recycling conveyor belt 3-9. The barrier gate 3-5 is 1000mm long × 25mm wide × 50mm high, and is fixedly installed on the milking side above the machine frame, 330mm away from the entrance of the milking station.

[0049] The diameter of the conveyor belt drive pulley, conveyor belt driven pulley, sprocket, synchronous hook belt drive pulley, synchronous hook belt driven pulley, and recycling conveyor belt driven pulley mentioned above is 180mm.

[0050] At the milking station exit of the sheep weighing module 5, there is a weighing device frame 5-2, measuring 1500mm long × 1100mm wide × 1100mm high. The platform is made of 35mm thick non-slip steel plate, with a weighing scale 5-1 embedded under the steel plate. The top is designed with 6 reinforcing ribs, each approximately 1100mm long × 20mm wide × 20mm high, spaced 230mm apart. RFID identification device mounting holes are opened on both sides of the frame 5-2, each embedding an RFID identification device II 5-3. At the frame exit, there is an arc-shaped gate 5-5 with a radius of 750mm. The gate's rotating shaft is fixed to the gate fixing component via bearings and bearing seats. The gate motor 5-4 drives the gate 5-5 to rotate via a sprocket drive. The gate drive motor 5-4 is bolted to the rear of the gate fixing component 5-6 and protected by a motor protective cover 5-7.

[0051] The milking machine housing 6-1 in milking system module 6 is the main body of the module, measuring 1900mm in length, 1200mm in width, and 1500mm in height. It has a 600mm diameter circular recess at the bottom for holding the milk tank 6-6. The top of the rear wall of the housing has a main milk collection pipe 6-2 and a main vacuum pipe 6-3 made of sanitary 316L stainless steel, which are connected to the milk collection pipes 6-15 of each flexible milking cup assembly 6-13. The side wall of the housing has mounting holes for a display screen 6-5 and function buttons 6-4, which are embedded in the mounting holes. The motor 6-17 and compressor 6-18 are fixed to the bottom plate of the housing by bolts. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the compressor 6-18 by belt drive. The compressor 6-18 is connected to the stainless steel air tank 6-8 at the rear of the housing by pipes. The stainless steel air tank 6-8 is connected to the connecting rod 6-7 by clips. The pressure regulating valve 6-10, the pulse 6-11 and the pressure gauge 6-12 are connected to the stainless steel air tank 6-8 by copper pipes. The piston 6-9 is connected to the motor 6-17 by the connecting rod 6-7.

[0052] The milking machine housing 6-1 and milk tank 6-6 mentioned above belong to the milk storage device;

[0053] The aforementioned main vacuum pipe 6-3, motor 6-17, compressor 6-18, stainless steel air tank 6-8, connecting rod 6-7, air pressure regulating valve 6-10, pulser 6-11, air pressure gauge 6-12, and piston 6-9 belong to the vacuum device.

[0054] The aforementioned display screen 6-5 and function buttons 6-4 belong to the control device.

[0055] The flexible milking cup assembly 6-13 includes milk cups 6-13-1, vacuum tubes 6-13-2, milk collection tubes 6-13-3, and pressure sensors 6-13-4. The front ends of the two milk cups 6-13-1 are connected to a vacuum pipe 6-14 via the vacuum tube 6-13-2, and the rear ends are connected to a milk collection pipe 6-15 via the milk collection tube 6-13-3. Both the vacuum pipe 6-14 and the milk collection pipe 6-15 have hooks 6-16, which are connected to the main vacuum pipe 6-3 and the main milk collection pipe 6-2 respectively via quick-connect fittings (sanitary 316L stainless steel) on the milking machine housing. The main vacuum pipe 6-3 is connected to a pulser 6-11 via a pipe, and the main milk collection pipe 6-2 is directly connected to the milk tank 6-6 via a pipe. The pressure sensor 6-13-4 is embedded inside the milk cup.

[0056] During operation, press the power button (function button 6-4) on the milking machine body to turn on the power. Select automatic mode (or manual mode to set the vacuum pressure value and pulsation frequency). At this time, the vacuum part of the milking system starts working. The motor (6-17) provides power to drive the compressor (6-18) through belt drive, which in turn drives the connecting rod to push the piston (6-9) in a linear reciprocating motion. The downward movement of the piston (6-9) is the vacuum motion, and the upward movement of the piston (6-9) is the air pumping stroke. The reciprocating motion of the piston (6-9) forms the opening and closing state of the milk cup inner sleeve. The central controller self-checks the status of each subsystem. After powering on, run the machine idle for 2 minutes. If there is no jamming or abnormal noise in any moving parts, the display screen (6-5) will show the "Ready" interface.

[0057] The sheep to be milked enter the weighing device frame 1-2. The RFID identification device I 1-3 reads the ear tag information, and the scale 1-1 reads and records the initial weight. After a 5-second delay, the barrier gate drive motor 1-5 drives the barrier gate 1-4 to open. The sheep pass through the barrier gate 1-4, enter the milking station on the machine frame via the upper sheep pedal 2, and the sheep's heads pass through the gaps in the railings of the synchronous partition belt 3-3 to feed in the feed trough 3-2. The barrier gate 3-5 detects the presence of sheep at a distance of 300-500mm through an infrared sensor, controls the barrier gate arm to drop to stabilize the sheep's posture and register them in the milk cup. The operator removes the flexible milking cup assembly 6-13 from the railing, and hooks 6-16 of the vacuum pipe 6-14 and milk collection pipe 6-15 into the hanging holes of the synchronous hook belt 3-8. After disinfecting the udder of the sheep to be milked, the milk cup 6-13 is attached to the sheep's udder. The pulsator 6-11 drives the piston 6-9 at an automatic preset frequency (80 times / minute). When the piston 6-9 moves downward, the ball valve on the pulsator 6-11 closes, and the ball valve on the stainless steel air tank 6-8... When the valve opens, a vacuum is created in the sealed milk tank 6-6 and the milking components. The pressure inside the milk cup and the interstitial chamber is the same, causing the milk cup 6-13-1 to open and draw milk from the teat. When the piston 6-9 moves upward, the ball valve of the pulsator 6-11 automatically opens, allowing atmospheric air to enter the interstitial chamber. The ball valve on the air storage tank 6-8 automatically closes, creating a vacuum in the sealed milk tank 6-6 and the milk cup inner sleeve. A pressure difference exists between the milk cup inner sleeve and the interstitial chamber, causing the milk cup inner sleeve to close and stopping milking. The reciprocating motion of the piston 6-9 achieves the periodic opening and closing of the milk cup inner sleeve. The pressure sensor 6-13-4 dynamically adjusts the adsorption pressure. Milk is transported to the milk tank 6-6 via the flexible milking cup assembly milk collection pipe 6-13-3, the milk collection pipe 6-15, and the main milk collection pipe 6-2. After 10 seconds, the barrier arm lifts, and the sheep move with the conveyor belt 3-4, while the flexible milking cup assembly 6-13 continues milking. Once the sheep reach the end of conveyor belt 3-4 and milking is complete, the operator removes the flexible milking cup assembly 6-13 from the sheep's udder and performs a second disinfection of the udder. The flexible milking cup assembly 6-13 is then suspended below the recovery conveyor belt 3-9, with a disinfection tank 3-10 containing 75-degree hot water below. Once the flexible milking cup assembly 6-13 reaches the leftmost end of the recovery conveyor belt 3-9, it undergoes rapid disinfection and air drying. The operator at the milking machine station entrance can then use this flexible milking cup assembly 6-13 to number the milk cups. The sheep then pass through the dismounting pedal 4 to the weighing device frame 5-2. The scale 5-1 reads and records the sheep's weight after milking. The system calculates the difference between the two weighings as the milk yield and controls the pen gate drive motor 5-5 to drive the pen gate 5-4 via a sprocket drive for grouping.

[0058] In case of malfunction, press the emergency stop button on function key 6-4. The vacuum system motor 6-17 will be de-energized, the stainless steel air tank 6-8 will be rapidly depressurized, and the conveyor belt 3-4 will stop running. Press the power button on function key 6-4 to shut down the power module. After inspection and repair by maintenance personnel, press the power button on function key 6-4 to start the power module, select automatic mode (or manual mode to set the vacuum pressure value and pulse frequency). The central controller will self-check the status of each subsystem. If there are no errors, each mechanism will reset, and the display screen 6-5 will show the "Ready" interface, allowing the milking process to begin.
