20090064936 | Method and arrangement for controlling the milking by a milking machine - A method and arrangement are provided for controlling the milking by a milking machine, which comprises at least one teat cup having a flexible teat receiving liner arranged inside a teat cup shell, wherein, during milking, a vacuum is applied to a lower part of the interior of the flexible teat receiving liner to draw milk from a teat received therein while the flexible teat receiving liner is periodically opened and collapsed by application of a pulsating massage vacuum between the flexible teat receiving liner and the teat cup shell. According to the invention a pressure sensor measures repeatedly a vacuum level in an upper part of the interior of the flexible teat receiving line, and means is provided for, depending on the repeatedly measured vacuum level, interrupting the periodic opening and collapsing of the flexible teat receiving liner by keeping the flexible teat receiving liner collapsed for a specific period of time. | 03-12-2009 |
20090165727 | MILKING ARRANGEMENT - The present invention refers to a milking arrangement for milking an animal during a milking operation. The arrangement includes a stationary structure and a milking member ( | 07-02-2009 |
20090260574 | Arrangement and method in a milking system - 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 (P | 10-22-2009 |
20090320759 | Arrangements and method in a milking system - An arrangement is provided in a milking system for simultaneous milking of animals comprising milking positions (P | 12-31-2009 |
20100089326 | TEATCUP LINER - A teatcup liner adapted to be mounted in a shell to form a teatcup to be applied to a teat of an animal, and a method of mounting a teatcup liner. The liner defines an inner space for receiving the teat and a longitudinal centre axis. The liner has a head portion, a tubular barrel portion and, a tubular lower portion defining a milk channel having a cross-section area perpendicular to the centre axis. The tubular lower portion has a primary engagement member to be engaged by a secondary engagement member of the shell. The liner includes a grip member extending from the tubular lower portion to be gripped by an operator when the liner is to be mounted. The grip member defines a force application zone on which a pulling force is to be applied and which seen along the centre axis is located within the cross-section area. | 04-15-2010 |
20100282173 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE MILKING BY A MILKING MACHINE - A method for controlling the milking by a milking machine, which milking machine includes a plurality of teat cups ( | 11-11-2010 |
20110011343 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR CONTROLLING THE MILKING BY A MILKING MACHINE - A method for controlling the milking by a milking machine includes, during an initial phase of the milking, increasing a milking vacuum and/or a maximum pulsation vacuum for the milking gradually from a first selected vacuum level (1L) towards a second selected vacuum level (2L) to thereby improve teat stimulation and decreasing the risk of a second milk letdown. When a second milk letdown (2ML) is detected, the maximum pulsation vacuum is preferably immediately lowered to a third selected vacuum level (3L), and is kept at that third selected vacuum level until a certain milk flow has been established, whereupon the pulsation vacuum level is then again increased gradually until the second selected vacuum level is reached. | 01-20-2011 |
20110107971 | MILKING SYSTEM, A TEAT CUP AND A TEAT CUP LINER - A milking system ( | 05-12-2011 |
20120210939 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR CONTROLLING THE MILKING BY A MILKING MACHINE - A method for controlling the milking by a milking machine includes, during an initial phase of the milking, increasing a milking vacuum and/or a maximum pulsation vacuum for the milking gradually from a first selected vacuum level ( | 08-23-2012 |
20140260660 | MULTIPHASE FLOW MEASUREMENT - A flow measuring device includes a first sensor device that responds to one stimulus caused by a fluid medium flowing through a measurement section by registering a first measure representing a first type of physical characteristic of the fluid medium, and a second sensor device that responds to another stimulus caused by the fluid medium by registering a second measure representing a second type of physical characteristic of the fluid medium, the second measure being independent from the first measure, and the first and second measures both being dependent on the flow of the first fluid and on the flow of the second fluid in the fluid medium in the measurement section, the first measure and the second measure being sufficient to solve both a first function that defines the flow of the first fluid and a second function that defines the flow of the second fluid. | 09-18-2014 |
20140297203 | MULTIPHASE FLOW MEASUREMENT - A flow measurement device includes a first sensor device that responds to stimulus from fluid medium flowing through a measurement section by registering a measure representing a physical characteristic, a processor, and a data storage including a look-up table containing a first collection of values representing a first value of flow of a first fluid or a first value of flow of a second fluid, and a second look-up table containing a second collection of the values representing a second value of the flow of the first fluid or a second value of the flow of the second fluid, the processor receiving the measures registered during a measurement time interval and estimating a flow pattern of the fluid medium during the measurement interval where the flow pattern describes how the first and second fluids are distributed in the measurement section over the measurement time interval. | 10-02-2014 |
20140373787 | MILKING SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR PREVENTING DETACHMENT OF A TEAT CUP FROM A TEAT DURING A MILKING PROCESS - A milking method and system for preventing detachment of a teat cup from a teat of an animal during a milking process where the milking system includes a milk line connected to the teat cup, a vacuum system that applies at least two different vacuum levels to the teat cup, a measuring device configured to measure the air flow in the milk line during the milking process, and a control unit ( | 12-25-2014 |
