Patent NZ-603415-A (NZ)
Title: A milking robot, and a milking arrangement
Inventor: ANDERSSON JAN-ERIK
IPC: A01J5/017
Filed: 2011-06-01
Abstract: 603415 A milking arrangement using a milking robot (10) is disclosed. One known problem of industrial robots is the phenomenon of singularities. A singularity occurs in a joint of a multilink robot when the acceleration of one link would be infinite. In other words, a singularity means that the robot can choose between two or more different link positions to reach an arbitrary position in the three dimensional workspace. If a singularity occurs, the industrial robot can run out of control, and is thus not safe. The robot comprises a first link L1), a second link (L2), a third link (L3), an end effector (14), sensor (16) and a control unit (15). The first link is rotatable to a first angle within a first angle range (α1) via a first joint (11). The second link is rotatable to a second angle within a second angle range (α2) via a second joint (12). The third link (L3) is rotatable to a third angle within a third angle range (α3) via third joint (13), The links (L1, L2, L3) are rotatable so that the end effector is movable within a three-dimensional workspace. Each position of the end effector within the workspace corresponds to a single combination of the first, second and third angles. The sensor is used to determine the location of a target, such as the teat of a milking animal, so that the effector may be directed there by the control unit. By such a restriction to the movements of the first, second and third link it can be ensured that no singularity can occur. The milking robot according to the invention is thus safe in the sense that the movement of the links to any arbitrary position within the workspace can be predicted. Restriction of the movement is achieved by limiting the number of axes (degrees of freedom) and/or by limiting the angle ranges. Thanks to the limited number of links, the manufacturing costs of the milking robot can be relatively low, and the design can be relatively light and simple.

Title: Method for measuring instantaneous rotation speed of synchronous generator
Inventor: CAI ZHIWEI
IPC: H02P9/00
Filed: 2011-06-03
Abstract: 605365 A method for measuring the instantaneous rotation speed of a synchronous generator. This is done by dividing the difference (Ubc) between two phase voltages (Ub1, Uc1) by the integral (Ubs) of the third phase voltage (Ua1), resulting in the angular frequency (ω). The angular frequency (ω) is then converting it to rotational speed (n) and displayed or the data is transmitted. The method comprises the steps of; initializing a program and zeroing Ua1, Ub1, Uc1 and Ua2. Synchronously detecting three-phase instantaneous voltage values Ua0, Ub0, and Uc0. Calculating an integral value Uas of Ua1. Calculating a difference value Ubc between Ub1 and Uc1. Judging whether Ua1 is greater than or equal to Ua2 and whether Ua1 is greater than or equal to Ua0. If so, zeroing Uas and then judging whether Uas or Ubc is equal to 0 or not. If not, directly judging whether Uas or Ubc is equal to 0 or not. If Uas or Ubc is equal to 0, assigning the value of Ua1 to Ua2, and then respectively assigning values of Ua0, Ub0 and Uc0 to Ua1, Ub1 and Uc1. When Uas and Ubc are not equal to 0, calculating a ratio of Ubc to Uas, then calculating the motor rotation speed by n=(60ω)/(2πp). Displaying the rotation speed on a display or transmitting the rotation speed to the outside via a communication interface, then assigning the value of Ua1 to Ua2, and respectively assigning the values of Ua0, Ub0 and Uc0 to Ua1, Ub1 and Uc1. Finally, repeating the process from synchronously detecting the three-phase voltages.
