The invention relates to a method of computer-controlled automatically milking animals in a milking parlour, in which milking parlour samples of milk supplied by the animals can be collected. The method comprises successively the steps of: identifying an animal entering a milking parlour; using the animal identification system, recalling data of a previous milking of said animal from a computer memory and determining by means of the computer, for example on the basis of a time table, and said data, whether a sample of milk should be taken of the animal; milking the animal; if a sample of milk should be taken, collecting, during discharging the milk to a milk tank by pumping the quantity of milk supplied by the animal in each milking run in predetermined volumes from a milk meter to the milk tank, a predetermined fraction of these volumes in a sample-taking device, and storing the data of the animal together with the instant at which the sample was taken, in the memory of the computer.
The invention relates to a method for automatically milking animals under the control of a computer.
In such a method, milk is usually obtained from the animals without supervision by humans with an appropriate device. This means that the animals have to rely on themselves for a certain period of time and it is therefore not possible to determine what the health status of the animals is, for example, or what the composition and quality of the milk delivered by the individual animals is.
The object of the invention is a method in which the above-mentioned drawbacks do not occur or are at least greatly reduced.
For this purpose, according to the invention, the method is characterized in that when an animal enters a milking parlor for a milking period of, for example, a 24-hour period, a fraction of the amount of milk delivered by this animal is automatically collected in a milking parlor. sample collection device. The quality of the milk can be determined for each animal on the basis of the fractions of milk taken. Since it is generally known that there is a relationship between the quality of the milk and the state of health of an animal, the above-mentioned method makes it possible to check the state of health of each animal.
The invention further relates to a method, characterized in that the predetermined volumes of milk delivered by the animal per milking are pumped from a milk meter to a milk tank, of which volumes a predefined fraction is then sent to the sample-taking device. is led. It is thus possible to obtain a milk sample per animal, which in composition is representative of the quantity of milk delivered by the animal per milking run.
The invention also relates to a method, characterized in that the amount of milk dispensed by the animal per milking is pumped in its entirety from a milk meter to a milk tank, a predefined fraction thereof being fed to the sampling device and for whether air is passed through the milk in the milk meter during the sampling. By bubbling air through the milk, it is thus achieved that the milk is first thoroughly mixed before a sample is taken from it. This reduces the risk that the final sample is not representative enough for the composition of the quantity of milk delivered by the animal per milking.
The invention furthermore relates to a device for applying the method as described in the present application, the device being characterized in that the sample-taking device comprises one or more milk collecting elements, which are connectable to a tap point in a milk line.
According to a further feature of the invention, an intermediate pipe connectable to a milk collecting element is connected to the milk pipe at a tapping point in the milk line, between a milk meter and a milk tank. According to a further aspect of the invention, the intermediate pipe comprises a computer-controlled tap. It can thus be determined with the computer when a sample is taken from a particular animal.
According to the invention, the sample-taking device comprises a carousel with several milk-collecting elements. A milk sample from a specific animal can be collected in each of the milk collecting elements. It is thus possible to sample several animals.

Figure 2 shows a first embodiment of a sample collection device according to the invention;
Figure 3 shows a second embodiment of a sampling device according to the invention;
Figure 4 shows a cross section of the second sample collection device, which may also form part of the first embodiment shown in Figure 2;
Figure 5 shows a top view of the carousel shown in line 4 along the line V-V.
Figure 1 shows a schematic arrangement of a milking installation for milking cows. The milking installation comprises a milking parlor 1 in which a cow 2 is present. A milking robot 3 is present at the milking parlor 2, which comprises four teat cups 4 at the end. The teat cups 4 can be connected automatically to the teats of the cow 2 with the milking robot 3. The invention is otherwise completely independent of the way in which the teat cups 4 are connected; the teat cups 4 can be connected together, joined together in a single milking claw, or separately and independently of each other to respective teats of the udder of the cow 2. The milk collected with the aid of the teat cups 4 per udder quarter can be supplied via separate lines or one joint line 5 (see Figure 2) to a milk measuring device 6. From the milk measuring device 6, the milk is supplied via a milk line 7 to a milk cooling tank 8.
The milking installation further comprises a sample-taking device 9 between the milk measuring device 6 and the milk cooling tank 8, with the aid of which a fraction of the milk delivered by the cow 2 can be automatically collected per milking run, which fraction, for example 1% of the total amount by the cow Is 2 delivered milk.
Figure 2 shows a principle arrangement of the milking installation, with a schematic representation of how the sample-taking device 9 is received in the milking installation.
The milking installation according to Figure 2 comprises a flow milk meter 10 known per se, which is described in detail in Dutch patent application 8900479. The flow-through milk meter 10 comprises a milk reservoir 11 and a measuring chamber 12, the milk flowing under vacuum from the milk reservoir 11 into the measuring chamber 12 via the conduit 5 connected to the teat cup 4. During the milking of the cow 2, the milk is pumped from the measuring chamber 12 in a defined amount by compressed air into a discharge pipe 13 in each case. The measuring chamber 12 is provided with a first milk level sensor 14, by means of which it is determined when a defined amount of milk is present in the measuring chamber 12. When the milk level in the measuring chamber 12 has reached the level at which this sensor 14 is located, a control signal S1 (see Figure 2) is output from this sensor 14, on which the measuring chamber 12 can be pumped empty. The first milk level sensor 14 can also supply a control signal S2 to a computer 15, in which the amount of milk obtained is recorded for each animal. Each animal is herein "recognized" as soon as it enters milking parlor 1 by means of an animal identification system (not shown).
The measuring chamber 12 is pumped out with a pump 16 which has a constant stroke volume and in which the milk can be pumped out in two flow directions. The largest fraction of the amount of milk pumped out by the pump 16 is then pumped via a first discharge line 17 to the milk cooling tank 8. A cooler 18 is included in the first discharge pipe 17, by means of which the milk is cooled to a certain temperature before being stored in the milk cooling tank 8. A second discharge line 19 is further connected to the pump 16, with the aid of which a predetermined small fraction of milk, for example 1% of the milk supplied through the line 13, can be discharged to the sample-taking device 9. The second discharge pipe 19 may be split into two or more further discharge pipes, each of which includes a switching element 20. The switching element 20 is preferably a 3/3 slide that can be operated electro-magnetically, each switching element 20 has three connection ports and can be placed in three switching positions. The second discharge line 19 is connected to the first connecting port 21, with which milk is guided to the switching element 20. A relatively short discharge pipe is connected to the second connecting port 22, with the aid of which the milk can be discharged to a milk collecting element 23. A discharge pipe is connected to the third connecting port 24, by means of which rinsing water for cleaning the milk pipe system can be discharged, which rinsing water is supplied through the second pipe 19 during cleaning.
The milk cooling tank 8 is further provided with a second pump 25, with which it can be pumped empty.
The operation of the sample collection device shown in Figure 2 is as follows:
A cow 2 enters the milking parlor 1, after which the teat cups 4 are connected to the teats with the aid of the milking robot 3. The milk is collected in the measuring chamber 12 via the line 5. After a certain time, the milk level sensor 14 sends a signal SI to the computer 15, on which the computer 15 sends a signal to the pump 16, so that the measuring chamber 12 is pumped empty. By means of the animal identification system, the identity of the cow 2 has already been determined, and it has been decided whether the cow 2 should be sampled. If the computer 15 determines that a milk sample is to be taken from the cow 2, a signal S3 is output from the computer 15 to one of the switching elements 20, so that a fraction of the milk is collected in a milk collecting element 23. Before one of the switching elements 20 receive a signal S3 from the computer 15, the switching elements 20 are in a first position, which means that the connections between the connection ports 21, 22 and 24 are interrupted. When a switching element 20 receives a signal S3 from the computer 15, the relevant switching element 20 is brought into a second position, which means that a connection is established between the first connection port 21 and the second connection port 22. A fraction of the milk pumped out of the measuring chamber 12 is then collected in the relevant milk collecting element 23. The pump 16 can herein be set such that, for example, 99% of the milk is discharged along the first discharge line 17 to the cooling tank 8, while 1% is discharged through the second discharge line to the milk collecting element 23. The filling and emptying of the measuring chamber 12 is repeated several times during a milking run, since the content of the milking chamber 12 is chosen such that it is smaller than the amount of milk delivered per cow during the milking run. Whenever the measuring chamber 12 is pumped empty, a fraction of milk is thus collected in the milk collecting element 23. Because the milk yield can differ per cow, and therefore also the number of times the measuring chamber 12 is pumped out, there is a chance that a different amount of milk is always collected in a milk per milk collecting element 23 and / or per sampling of a cow. collection element 23. To prevent this, the computer 15 can be programmed in such a way that samples are taken X times per milking, instead of every time the measuring chamber 12 empties. In the computer 15 it is also possible to store in a memory which milk collecting element 23 belongs to which cow, so that later it can be read from the memory which milk sample belongs to which cow.
After sampling a cow, the pipe system can be cleaned with a flushing liquid by placing the switching element 20 in a third position by means of the computer 15. Before another cow enters the milking parlor 1, the milk measuring device 6 and the sample-taking device can thus be cleaned, so that milk from one cow is not mixed with milk from another cow.
In addition to the above-described automatic milk sample collection at a flow-through milk meter, the invention also relates to an automatic milk sample collection when a milk measuring glass is used. Figure 3 shows such a milk measuring glass 26. During a milking run of an animal, the total amount of milk obtained is collected via line 5 in the milk measuring glass 26. A discharge pipe 27 is arranged on the underside of the milk measuring glass 26, in which a second switching element 28 is accommodated. With the aid of the second switching element 28 it is possible to interrupt the discharge pipe 27. The second switching element 28 can be designed as an electromagnetically operable 2/2 slide, in which in a first position the milk can flow freely through the discharge line 27 and in a second position the milk flow is interrupted. A third line 29 is connected to the discharge line 27 between the milk measuring glass 26 and the second switching element 28. A third switching element 30 is included in the third line 29, with the aid of which the third line 29 can be interrupted. This third switching element 30 can also be designed as an electromagnetically operable 2/2 slide. In the part of the discharge pipe 27, between the second switching element 28 and the milk cooling tank 8, a pump 31 and a cooler 32 are included. With the aid of the pump 31, which is preferably designed as a one-flow direction pump, the milk is pumped from the measuring glass 26 towards the milk cooling tank 8. In the discharge pipe 27, between the second switching element 28 and the pump 31, a fourth pipe 33 is arranged, in which a fourth switching element 34 is included. The switching element 34, like the second switching element 28, can be designed as an electromagnetically operable 2/2 slide. With the fourth switching element 34 it is possible to control the milk supply to a second sample-taking device 35.
The second sample collection device is shown in more detail in Figures 4 and 5. The second sample collection device 35 is connected by means of a hinge 36 to a frame pole 37 and is pivotable about the vertical axis 38. The hinge axis 38 is locked by by means of a removable pin 39. The second sample-taking device 35, after removing the pin 39 and shaft 38, can be disconnected from the frame pole 37. The second sample-taking device 35 is housed in a two-piece housing, wherein the first part 40 of the housing is formed by a lid-shaped part with raised edges and the second part 41 is formed by an L-shaped strip which is connected to the hinge 36. The first and the second part of the housing are by means of a bolt 42 to be sealed connected to each other. The lower part of the L-shaped strip 41 extends up to an axis through the center of the lid-shaped part of the first part 40 of the housing. A motor 43 is arranged near the end of the L-shaped strip 41. The motor 43 is preferably a servomotor-controllable electric motor. The electric motor 43 'has a vertical shaft 44, which is provided with keyways at the end. Near the bottom end of the vertical axis 44, a circular bottom plate 45 is provided, which is provided with two pin-shaped vertical projections 46. The bottom plate 45 is at the bottom in the form of a circle, provided with recognition codes 47, which can for instance be designed as a barcode. The electric motor 43 can be controlled on the basis of the recognition code 47. The recognition code 47 is read here with the aid of a sensor 48 arranged on the second part 41 of the housing. The sensor 48 can for instance be designed as an optical sensor.
A carousel-shaped test tube support 49 rests on the bottom plate 45 and is provided near the center with a bore 50 in which keyways are arranged. A second shaft 51 is also inserted in the bore 50, which is also provided with keyways. The second shaft 51 is mounted at the top in a bearing 53 which is connected to a memory unit 54 arranged in the top of the first part 40 of the housing. The memory unit 54 is arranged in a box-shaped protrusion of the first part 40 of the housing. . The second axis 51 further rests on a ball 52 which rests on the vertical axis 44.
A number of test tubes 55, which number is preferably more than 25, is placed in the test tube carrier 49 in the form of a circle. In the test tube carrier 49 there is also included a discharge spout 56, which falls into a recess of the bottom plate 45 with its underside. The test tube carrier 49 is furthermore provided with two bores 57 into which the pin-shaped vertical protrusions 46 of the bottom plate 45 fall. With the aid of the pin-shaped projections 46 and the discharge spout 56, the test tube carrier 49 can be placed in the same position with respect to the bottom plate 45 again and again.
in the L-shaped strip of the second part 41 of the housing, a bore is provided, through which a funnel 58 is inserted. Using the stepper motor 43, the test tube carrier 49 can be rotated so that the discharge spout 56 opens above the funnel 58. At some height, directly above the funnel 58, an injector 59 is provided on the lid-shaped first part 40 of the housing, by means of which the test tubes 55 can be filled with milk. The injector 59 is surrounded by a sealed housing 60 in which a vertically movable injection needle 61 is mounted. The needle 61 can be inserted through an opening 62 in the top wall of the first part 40 of the housing. The movement of the needle 61 is controlled by a signal S6 delivered through an electrical line 63 by the computer 15. At the top of the injector 59 there is a supply line 64 with which milk or flushing liquid can be supplied to the needle 61.
Level determining means 65 are arranged against the inner wall of the upright part of the L-shaped strip, by means of which the level can be determined in a test tube 55. In the exemplary embodiment, the level determining means 65 consist of four level sensors 66. Each level sensor 66 emits a signal which is reflected against a reflector strip 67, after which the signal is again received by the sensors 66. The sensors 66 can for instance be designed as optical or acoustic sensors. The reflector 67 is formed by an L-shaped strip mounted against the underside of the first part 40 of the housing. The reflector 67 extends vertically downwards to the bottom of the test tube carrier 49 and is located on the inside of the test tubes 55 arranged in a circle. Between the reflector strip 67 and the level sensors 66 there is always one test tube 55 or the discharge spout 59. The filling of the test tube 55 is monitored with the computer 15; if a certain test tube 55 is filled with milk, at a given moment the milk level in the test tube will rise to such an extent that a light beam emitted by a sensor 66 is interrupted by the milk, after which a signal S7 to the computer via an electrical line 68 is released to indicate that the milk in the test tube 55 has reached a certain level.
The operation of the second sample collection device 35 shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5 is as follows:
A cow 2 enters the milking parlor 1, after which the teat cups 4 are connected to the teats with the aid of the milking robot 3. With the animal recognition system the data of cow 2 are read in and with computer 15 it is determined, for example on the basis of a time table, whether the cow 2 should be sampled. Once it is decided that the cow 2 is to be sampled, a signal S6 is supplied by the computer 15 over the electrical line 63 to the injector 59, after which the needle 61 passes through the opening 62 in the lid-shaped first part of the housing 40 to is moved below. The tip of the needle 61 is then inserted through an opening in a rubber cap from the test tube 55 into the test tube 55.
After it has been established with a sensor (not shown) that the cow 2 has been milked empty, the milk collected in the milk measuring glass 26 is first mixed well before sampling. For this purpose, a signal S5 is output from the computer 15 to the third switching element 30, after which air is passed through the third conduit 29 to the milk measuring glass 26. The air supplied by the line 29 bubbles upwards through the milk from the bottom of the milk measuring glass 26, whereby the milk is mixed. After a certain time, the third switching element 30 is reactivated by the computer 15 and the supply of air to the milk measuring glass 26 stops. After this, the computer 15 activates the second switching element 28, the fourth switching element 43 and the pump 31. The milk will now flow from the fourth conduit 33 via the supply conduit 64 to the injector 59, whereby milk flows through the injection needle 61 into the test tube 55. It is possible to determine how much milk has been collected in the test tube 55 by means of signals supplied by the level sensors 66 via line 68 to computer 15. When the milk in the test tube 55 reaches a pre-specified level in the computer 15, the computer 15 supplies a signal S4 to the fourth switching element 34 via an electrical line 69, so that it interrupts the supply of the milk flow. When the supply of the milk to the test tube 55 is interrupted, the data of the sampled cow 2, together with the time of sampling and the recognition code 47 associated with the relevant sample, are stored in a memory of the computer 15 and in the memory unit 54 If the sampled cow 2 returns to the milking parlor 1 after an X number of hours, it is determined on the basis of the stored data whether the cow 2 should be sampled again. When the cow 2 is sampled again, the recognition code 47 associated with cow 2 is read from the memory of the computer 15, and the correct test tube 55 under the injector 59 is pre-turned by means of the stepper motor 43. This is done on the basis of a register stored in the computer 15, in which a barcode is reserved for each test tube 55, and each barcode refers to one cow which has already been sampled at the milking parlor 1. When the barcode associated with cow 2 has been determined, it is compared with the barcode present under the injector 59. If the two bar codes differ, it is determined from the bar codes present in the register where the desired test tube 55 is located relative to the test tube present under the injection member 59. Using the stepper motor 43, the desired test tube 55 is then pre-rotated under the injection member 59, after which the cow 2 can be sampled again. Similarly, after sampling cow 2, the discharge spout 56 under the injector 59 is pre-rotated and the milk lines as well as the injection needle 61 are cleaned with flushing liquid, after which the sample-taking device is ready for a next animal.
When sufficient samples have been collected at a given time, by removing the shaft 38 from the hinge 36, the second sample collection device 35 can be replaced by another sample collection device. It is also possible that only the test tube carrier 49 together with the memory unit 54 are replaced.
It will be clear that the second sample-taking device can also be used with the milk measuring device 6 described in Figure 2. Likewise, the sample-taking device 9 can also be used with the milk measuring glass 26 shown in Figure 3.
