  • Patent number: 7690328
    Abstract: The invention relates to a milk conveyer device (100) for an animal. The milk conveyer device is to be implemented in a milking arrangement which comprises a milk storage reservoir (101) coupled to a milking attachment for attaching to an animal to be milked through a main milk conduit (103, 105). A sample element (109, 111) extracts milk, which is collected in a sample reservoir (115, 117). The sample reservoir (115,117) is connected to an analysis element (129) through an analysis conduit (123, 125). During the flow of the milk from the sample reservoir to the analysis element (129), the milk itself provides a cleaning effect. The flow is initially at a high flow rate and later at a reduced flow rate. A plurality of analysis conduits (123, 125) are connected to the analysis element (129), which comprises a selector unit (127), which couples milk from one of the analysis conduits (123, 125) to the analysis element (129).

  • Patent number: 7131394
    Abstract: The invention refers to a device for at least one milking stall (3) with a milking position (4) for an animal and with at least one milking equipment including a milking member arranged to be attached to including animal for milking thereof. The milking stall (3) is defined by at least one wall arrangement (5) and a floor (6) and extends between a first end (7) and a second (8) end in such a way that when an animal is present in including milking stall (3) in including milking position, the front portion of including animal is adjacent including first end (7) and the back portion of including animal is adjacent including second end (8). The device includes a cabinet-like structure (1), which has a longitudinal axis extending in a substantially vertical direction and which defines an inner space and which forms a building element of including milking stall (3).

  • Patent number: 6363585
    Abstract: A cord-locking device for releasably gripping a cord (4), which preferably may be used in a milking machine as a safety coupling. The cord comprises a grip member (12) arranged to receive the cord (4) and to hold releasably by a holding member (13). The grip member (12), held by the holding member (13), is arranged to lock fixedly the received cord (4) by clamping as a consequences of a pulling load applied to the cord (4). The grip (12), when released from said holding member (13), is arranged to enable the release of the received cord (4) from the grip member (12).

  • Patent number: 6357387
    Abstract: A teatcup supplying and retrieving device (4) has a teatcup supplying member (5) and at least one teatcup (10) connected to a tubing (11). The teatcup is provided with a teat entry end (19) having a surface defining an inlet opening (20) for a teat. The teatcup (10) is displaceable from a first position to a second position, in which the teat entry end (19) is directed differently from that of the first position, wherein the teatcup (10) is freely displaceable in relation to the teatcup supplying member (5) during displacement between the first and second positions. The displacement is at least initiated by a displacement device (8) controlled by a controller. Furthermore, there is provided an automatic milking apparatus having a milking robot provided with a robot arm (3) to be used in conjunction with such a teatcup supplying and retrieving device (4).
