Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of milking equipment for livestock breeding, and in particular to a milking bucket and milking equipment using the same. Background Technology

[0002] Milking buckets are milk collection components of milking equipment used in livestock farming. Their application has evolved with the development of farming models and technologies, gradually moving from manual milking to mechanization and automation, and the structure of milking buckets has also been optimized.

[0003] Most existing milking buckets are single-layer structures, usually equipped with a high-stability vacuum system to automatically collect milk. However, they are not effective at preserving the collected milk and cannot be stored at low temperatures. Especially in the high-temperature environment of summer, the milk is prone to bacterial growth and spoilage, affecting the quality of dairy products. Some milking buckets with refrigeration functions use electric cooling equipment, which requires a large-capacity power storage device for continuous power supply and is not suitable for outdoor pastures. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, the support frame includes a support plate and a support leg fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate, the outer end of the support leg abutting against the inner wall of the bottom of the insulation outer cylinder; the top of the support plate is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove whose specifications are adapted to the bottom of the inner cylinder, and the bottom end of the inner cylinder is embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0007] Preferably, a top cover is fitted at the top opening of the thermal insulation outer cylinder, and the top cover is fixed to the top edge of the thermal insulation outer cylinder by multiple quick-release buckles on the periphery.

[0008] Preferably, the end of the connector is threaded to the connector interface.

[0009] A milking device further includes a distributor and a vacuum device. The distributor's distribution port is connected to multiple milking cups. The main body of the distributor is connected to the milking bucket and is sealed to the vacuum device through a vacuum pipeline. The vacuum device controls its output through a vacuum pulsation control component.

[0010] Preferably, the vacuum pulsation control component selectively controls the vacuum device to output in two or three cycles.

[0011] Preferably, the device also includes a mobile cart on which the milking bucket is placed, and the bottom of the cart frame is equipped with casters with brakes.
