Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of emulsion extrusion, specifically an emulsion extrusion device. Background Technology

[0002] Emulsion extrusion equipment is a device used to extract and collect milk from cows, sheep, and camels. Existing equipment has a simple and practical milk suction cylinder, which uses an elastic membrane on the inside of the cylinder and a vacuum pump to simulate the milking action. During this process, the milk suction cylinder is in direct contact with the teats of the milking animals. The elongated channel structure on its inside is inconvenient to clean, and the force that holds the teats in place also comes from the structure formed by the elastic membrane and the vacuum pump. This makes it impossible to adjust according to the size of the teats, causing the milk suction cylinder to easily fall off. Therefore, an emulsion extrusion device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0004] Given the following technical problems in the existing technology: the structure formed by the elastic membrane and vacuum pump inside the milking cylinder is used to simulate the milking action. During this process, the milking cylinder is in direct contact with the nipple of the milking animal. The long-hole channel structure inside is very inconvenient to clean. The force that holds the nipple also comes from the structure formed by the elastic membrane and vacuum pump, which makes it impossible to adjust according to the size of the nipple, causing the milking cylinder to easily fall off.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an emulsion extrusion device, including a milking cylinder, a replaceable milking sleeve being movably inserted into the head of the milking cylinder, a trumpet cylinder being connected to the tail of the milking cylinder, a connecting pipe being connected to the lower end of the trumpet cylinder, and the connecting pipe being connected to a manifold. The top of the manifold is provided with multiple connecting pipes, and the bottom of the manifold is connected to the storage component through the main pipe. The inner side of the milking cylinder is provided with an elastic squeezing cylinder, and the bottom of the milking cylinder is provided with an elastic cylinder. The middle of the replaceable milking sleeve is provided with an isolation cylinder, which extends into the inner side of the elastic squeezing cylinder. The outer side of the elastic squeezing cylinder is fitted with an annular airbag.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution for emulsion extrusion equipment, the elastic cylinder is made of rubber; The elastic cylinder, the isolation cylinder, and the elastic extrusion cylinder are all made of the same elastic material.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution for emulsion extrusion equipment, a snap-fit ​​component is provided on one side of the replaceable milking sleeve. The snap-fit ​​component includes a handle, a receiving plate, a first wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​tooth, a second wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​tooth, a straight plate, and an elastic connector. The handle is connected to one side of the replaceable milking sleeve via the elastic connector, which is a spring plate. A straight plate is provided on the lower side of the handle, and a second wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​tooth is provided on the straight plate. A first wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​tooth is provided on the outer side of the milking cylinder, and the first wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​tooth engages with the second wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​tooth. After the replaceable milking sleeve is placed on top of the milking cylinder, the straight plate with the second wedge-shaped locking tooth is precisely engaged with the first wedge-shaped locking tooth. During the relative movement, the inclined surface of the second wedge-shaped locking tooth first contacts the inclined surface of the first wedge-shaped locking tooth. As the replaceable milking sleeve continues to move, the inclined surface of the first wedge-shaped locking tooth can only slide along the inclined surface of the second wedge-shaped locking tooth. The straight plate and handle will bend with the elastic connector as the fulcrum. As the replaceable milking sleeve and the milking cylinder continue to move relative to each other, the second wedge-shaped locking tooth will reach the gap left by the first wedge-shaped locking tooth. The elasticity of the elastic connector will force the straight plate and the second wedge-shaped locking tooth to return to their original posture, so that the positions of the second wedge-shaped locking tooth and the first wedge-shaped locking tooth are staggered, thereby locking the position of the replaceable milking sleeve and the milking cylinder. By using replaceable milking sleeves and separators, the front part of the milking cylinder is prevented from directly contacting the animal's nipple. The separators are replaceable, which reduces contamination caused by this process and also reduces contamination of the elastic milking cylinder.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution for emulsion extrusion equipment, an adjustment cavity is formed between the elastic cylinder and the inner wall of the milking cylinder, and an air pipe is provided on the milking cylinder, with the adjustment cavity connected to the air pipe; The annular airbag and the regulating chamber are filled with nitrogen. The elasticity of the annular airbag, by squeezing the elastic compression cylinder, makes the elastic compression cylinder clamp the isolation cylinder more tightly and extend into the nipple of the isolation cylinder. When the nipple just blocks the opening of the replaceable milking sleeve, the vacuum machine starts working. Through the air extraction pipe, liquid storage tank, main pipe, manifold, connecting pipe and horn, negative pressure is generated in the regulating chamber. The regulating chamber is affected by the negative pressure in the inner cavity of the elastic cylinder and contracts, while the inner cavity of the regulating chamber expands. This reduces the internal pressure of the annular airbag and the regulating chamber, and reduces the squeezing force on the elastic squeezing cylinder and the isolation cylinder, making it easier to insert the isolation cylinder. The suction generated by the negative pressure also allows the milking cylinder to lock relative to the nipple. If the vacuum machine stops working, the negative pressure in the channel of the elastic cylinder decreases, and the gas in the regulating chamber is squeezed into the annular air bladder by the elastic pull rope. This causes the annular air bladder to expand and strengthen the compression of the elastic compression cylinder and the isolation cylinder, so that the nipple is clamped and does not fall off.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution for emulsion extrusion equipment, the annular airbag is connected to the inner wall of the milking cylinder, and the inner ring of the annular airbag is provided with a receiving plate, which contacts the outer ring of the elastic extrusion cylinder. The receiving plate separates the annular airbag from the elastic compression cylinder, preventing the elastic compression cylinder from damaging the structure of the annular airbag.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution for emulsion extrusion equipment, the annular airbag is connected to the regulating chamber through an air pipe, and the storage component includes a liquid storage tank. The top of the liquid storage tank is provided with an air extraction pipe, and the height of the end of the air extraction pipe inside the liquid storage tank is higher than the height of the bottom of the main pipe. The liquid storage tank guides the emulsion into the discharge pipe without it being extracted by the air extraction pipe.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the emulsion extrusion device of the present invention are as follows: Through the structure composed of an annular airbag, air pipe, regulating chamber, elastic pull rope and elastic cylinder, when the vacuum machine stops working or malfunctions, the negative pressure in the channel of the elastic cylinder decreases, and the regulating chamber is dragged by the elastic pull rope and squeezed gas into the annular airbag, so that the annular airbag expands and strengthens the squeezing of the elastic extrusion cylinder and the isolation cylinder, which can continuously clamp the nipple and prevent it from falling off, thus avoiding the pollution caused by the extrusion device falling off when the negative pressure stops; Furthermore, the size of the channel inside the isolation cylinder can be adjusted by changing the air pressure inside the annular airbag as needed, thus accommodating nipples of different sizes. The use of replaceable milking sleeves allows for quick replacement, ensuring hygiene and safety. Different sizes of replaceable milking sleeves can also be used to adjust the size of the channel inside the isolation tube, thus accommodating different nipple sizes. Attached Figure Description

[0014] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0017] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present invention, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, actual fabrication should include three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0018] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes an emulsion extrusion device, including a milking cylinder 1, a replaceable milking sleeve 2 movably inserted into the head of the milking cylinder 1, a trumpet cylinder 4 connected to the tail of the milking cylinder 1, a connecting pipe 6 connected to the lower end of the trumpet cylinder 4, and the connecting pipe 6 connected to a manifold 7; a plurality of connecting pipes 6 are provided at the top of the manifold 7, and a storage component is connected to the bottom of the manifold 7 through a main pipe 18; an elastic extrusion cylinder 15 is provided inside the milking cylinder 1, an elastic cylinder 10 is provided at the bottom of the milking cylinder 1, an isolation cylinder 13 is provided in the middle of the replaceable milking sleeve 2, the isolation cylinder 13 extends into the inner side of the elastic extrusion cylinder 15, and an annular airbag 14 is sleeved on the outer side of the elastic extrusion cylinder 15.

[0019] The elastic cylinder 10 is made of rubber; The elastic cylinder 10, the isolation cylinder 13, and the elastic extrusion cylinder 15 are all made of the same elastic material.

[0020] One side of the replaceable milking sleeve 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​component, which includes a handle 9, a receiving plate 25, a wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​tooth 26, a wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​tooth 27, a straight plate 28, and an elastic connector 30. The handle 9 is connected to one side of the replaceable milking sleeve 2 through the elastic connector 30, which is a spring plate. A straight plate 28 is provided on the lower side of the handle 9, and a wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​tooth 27 is provided on the straight plate 28. A wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​tooth 26 is provided on the outer side of the milking cylinder 1, and the wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​tooth 26 snaps into the wedge-shaped snap-fit ​​tooth 27. After the replaceable milking sleeve 2 is placed on top of the milking cylinder 1, the straight plate 28 with the wedge-shaped locking tooth 27 engages with the wedge-shaped locking tooth 26. During the relative movement, the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped locking tooth 27 first contacts the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped locking tooth 26. As the replaceable milking sleeve 2 continues to move, the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped locking tooth 26 can only slide along the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped locking tooth 27. The straight plate 28 and the handle 9 will bend with the elastic connector 30 as the fulcrum. As the replaceable milking sleeve 2 and the milking cylinder 1 continue to move relative to each other, the wedge-shaped locking tooth 27 will reach the gap that is not left with the wedge-shaped locking tooth 26. The elasticity of the elastic connector 30 will force the straight plate 28 and the wedge-shaped locking tooth 27 to return to their original posture, so that the positions of the wedge-shaped locking tooth 27 and the wedge-shaped locking tooth 26 are staggered, thereby locking the position of the replaceable milking sleeve 2 and the milking cylinder 1. The replaceable milking sleeve 2 and the isolation tube 13 prevent the front part of the milking tube 1 from directly contacting the animal's nipple. The isolation tube 13 is replaceable, which can reduce the contamination caused by this part of the process and also reduce the contamination of the elastic squeezing tube 15.

[0021] An adjustment chamber 11 is formed between the elastic cylinder 10 and the inner wall of the milking cylinder 1. An air pipe 3 is provided on the milking cylinder 1, and the adjustment chamber 11 is connected to the air pipe 3. The annular airbag 14 and the regulating chamber 11 are filled with nitrogen. The elasticity of the annular airbag 14 causes the elastic compression cylinder 15 to clamp the isolation cylinder 13 more tightly and extend into the nipple of the isolation cylinder 13 by squeezing the elastic compression cylinder 15. When the nipple just blocks the opening of the replaceable milking sleeve 2, the vacuum machine 16 works, creating negative pressure in the regulating chamber 11 through the air extraction pipe 8, liquid storage tank 17, main pipe 18, manifold 7, connecting pipe 6 and horn 4. The regulating chamber 11 is affected by the negative pressure in the inner cavity channel of the elastic cylinder 10 and contracts, while the inner cavity of the regulating chamber 11 expands. This reduces the internal pressure of the annular airbag 14 and the regulating chamber 11, and reduces the squeezing force on the elastic squeezing cylinder 15 and the isolation cylinder 13, making it easier to insert the isolation cylinder 13. The suction generated by the negative pressure also allows the milking cylinder 1 to lock relative to the nipple. If the vacuum machine 16 stops working, the negative pressure in the channel of the elastic cylinder 10 decreases, and the regulating chamber 11 is dragged by the elastic rope 31 and the compressed gas enters the annular airbag 14, causing the annular airbag 14 to expand and strengthen the compression of the elastic compression cylinder 15 and the isolation cylinder 13, so that they clamp the nipple and prevent it from falling off.

[0022] The annular airbag 14 is connected to the inner wall of the milking cylinder 1, and the inner ring of the annular airbag 14 is provided with a support plate 25, which is in contact with the outer ring of the elastic extrusion cylinder 15. The receiving plate 25 separates the annular airbag 14 and the elastic compression cylinder 15 to prevent the elastic compression cylinder 15 from damaging the structure of the annular airbag 14.

[0023] The annular airbag 14 is connected to the regulating chamber 11 via the air tube 3. The storage component includes a liquid storage tank 17. The top of the liquid storage tank 17 is provided with an air extraction pipe 8. The height of the end of the air extraction pipe 8 inside the liquid storage tank 17 is higher than the height of the bottom of the main pipe 18. The liquid storage tank 17 guides the emulsion into the drain pipe 32 without being extracted by the air extraction pipe 8.

[0024] The inner cavity of the isolation cylinder 13 is a long-hole channel structure, and an elastic pull rope 31 is provided in the adjustment cavity 11. The elastic pull rope 31 connects the elastic cylinder 10 and the milking cylinder 1.

[0025] The cavity formed by the elastic extrusion cylinder 15 and the milking cylinder 1 has holes on its inner wall to facilitate the balance of air pressure inside and outside the cavity. The liquid storage tank 17 is equipped with a liquid level sensor, which can detect the emulsion height. The liquid level sensor is connected to a microcontroller, which is connected to a vacuum machine 16. When the emulsion level in the liquid storage tank 17 is too high, the vacuum machine 16 is controlled to stop working. The liquid level sensor is a Gems Sensors LS-20, the microcontroller is an ESP32-S3, and the vacuum machine 16 is an RPC60.

[0026] The storage container is used to hold the emulsion. A drain pipe 32 is provided at the bottom of the storage tank 17, and a one-way valve is installed on the drain pipe 32. For the sake of exaggeration in the attached drawings regarding position and connection relationships, the actual dimensions of the milking cylinder 1 are much smaller than the dimensions of the storage tank 17.

[0027] The specific implementation method is as follows: the milking cylinder 1 is controlled to align the replaceable milking sleeve 2 with the nipple, so that the nipple extends into the elongated channel structure of the isolation cylinder 13, and the annular airbag 14 squeezes the isolation cylinder 13 to clamp the nipple. When the nipple just blocks the opening of the replaceable milking sleeve 2, the vacuum machine 16 works, creating negative pressure in the regulating chamber 11 through the suction pipe 8, the storage tank 17, the main pipe 18, the manifold 7, the connecting pipe 6, and the trumpet 4. The regulating chamber 11 is affected by the negative pressure in the inner cavity channel of the elastic cylinder 10 and contracts, while the inner cavity of the regulating chamber 11 expands. This reduces the internal pressure of the annular airbag 14 and the regulating chamber 11, and reduces the squeezing force on the elastic squeezing cylinder 15 and the isolation cylinder 13, making it easier to insert the isolation cylinder 13. The suction force generated by the negative pressure also allows the milking cylinder 1 to lock relative to the nipple. The continuous negative pressure at the elastic cylinder 10 causes the milk in the nipple to be sucked out and stored in the storage tank 17 through the trumpet 4, the connecting pipe 6, the manifold 7, and the main pipe 18. If the vacuum machine 16 stops working, the negative pressure in the channel of the elastic cylinder 10 decreases, and the regulating chamber 11 is dragged by the elastic rope 31 and the compressed gas enters the annular airbag 14, causing the annular airbag 14 to expand and strengthen the compression of the elastic compression cylinder 15 and the isolation cylinder 13, so that they clamp the nipple and prevent it from falling off.

[0028] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.

[0029] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
