Patent number: 10036419Abstract: A roller of a support arrangement for a rotary milking platform, where the support arrangement includes a first rail member fixedly connected to the rotary platform, a second rail member stationarily arranged in a position below the platform, and a plurality of rollers arranged in a vertical space between the first rail member and the second rail member. Each roller includes a peripheral surface comprising a contact surface to be in contact with a contact portion of the first rail member and a contact portion of the second rail member. The peripheral surface of the roller includes two beveled surfaces arranged at opposite sides of the contact surface which are located at a smaller distance from a rotary axis of the roller than the contact surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2015Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: DELAVAL HOLDING ABInventor: Otto Hellekant

Patent number: 7992519Abstract: An arrangement is provided in a milking system for simultaneous milking of a plurality of milking animals, wherein the milking system comprises a plurality of milking positions (P1-P24) and an arrangement for establishing identities of and expected milking times for the milking animals. Each of the milking positions is provided with teat cups, which are attached to the teats of a milking animal and are connected to a source of vacuum to milk the milking animal. The inventive arrangement comprises means (10) for determining a milking position, at which the milking animal having the longest expected milking time is present, based on the established identities and expected milking times; and a device (11, 13, 17; 20) for performing an action with respect to the milking system in response to the determination.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2007Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Delaval Holding ABInventors: Johan Odeberg, Otto Hellekant, Raza Mehinovic, Magnus Storbjörk, Louise Kullgren, Torbjörn Petterson, Christoffer Hägglund, Stefan Irhsén, Helmut Obermüller, Robert Jonsson, Souren Kerikorian, Gary Aldgård, Gösta Forsén

Publication number: 20090320759Abstract: An arrangement is provided in a milking system for simultaneous milking of animals comprising milking positions (P1-P24), each of which being provided with teat cups, which are attached to the teats of an animal and are connected to a source of vacuum to milk the animal. The arrangement comprises a processing device (10) for gathering and processing information of the milking of the animals, and terminal units (13) arranged at the milking positions and connected to the processing device (10). The processing device is provided for (i) receiving a user identity; (ii) retrieving a user specific setting based on the received user identity, said user specific setting defining user specific information of the milking of the animals; and (iii) transmitting information of the milking of the animals to the terminal units defined by the retrieved user specific setting. The terminal units output automatically the information received from the processing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2007Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventors: Johan Odeberg, Otto Hellekant, Raza Mehinovic, Magnus Storbjörk, Louise Kullgren, Torbjörn Petterson, Christoffer Hägglund, Stefan Irhsén, Helmut Obermüller, Robert Jonsson, Souren Kerikorian, Gary Aldgrdå, Gösta Forsén

Patent number: 6371046Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatic separation of foremilk and/or milk not suitable for consumption from the milk line system of a milking plant and an apparatus for carrying out said method. A separating device (44) is arranged at the ends of a milk line (52) and a test milk line (56), said milk lines being parallel. The separating device is designed with a damper means (48) attached to a cup (46). When milk is fed through the outlet (16), the cup (46) is filled up and its weight pivots the separating device from a first position, in which the inlet to a milk line (52) is closed by means of the damper mean, to a second position, in which the milk in cup is poured into a test milk line (56) and the damper means is lifted off the inlet (50|) to the milk line (52).Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2000Date of Patent: April 16, 2002Assignee: De Laval Holding ABInventors: Torbjorn Petterson, Jonas Lundwall, Otto Hellekant, Pernilla Hanssen, Thomas Axelsson, Leif Lindholm, Lars Andersson

Patent number: 5202024Abstract: Centrifugal separator includes a rotor, which is arranged in a gas containing chamber and which on its outside surface is provided with a number of cavities located at a distance from each other and open to the chamber. In order to disturb the generation of sound waves in the cavities at the resonant frequency of the cavities, an irregularity, preferably in the shape of a projection, is arranged nearby and in front of at least one cavity in the rotational direction of the rotor.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 1992Date of Patent: April 13, 1993Assignee: Alfa-Laval Separation ABInventors: Per-Olof Andersson, Bengt Lahti, Otto Hellekant

Patent number: 4575263Abstract: A bearing device for a spindle (12), rotatably suspended in a frame (1), comprises a first bearing (4) arranged to transfer radial forces from the spindle to the frame while permitting a certain inclination of the spindle in relation to its intended rotational axis (A), and a second bearing (3) arranged to transfer axial forces from the spindle to the frame. For avoiding mutual inclination of the bearing rings of the axial bearing (3) upon inclination of the spindle during its operation, said axial bearing (3) is arranged to transfer the axial forces through two abutting contact surfaces movable relative to each other, one of which is united with the rotatable bearing ring (13) of the axial bearing, and the other of which is united with the spindle (12).Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 1984Date of Patent: March 11, 1986Assignee: Alfa-Laval Separation ABInventors: Zoltan Foldhazy, Otto Hellekant
