Patent ID: 8578880

Claim:
A periodic process of dynamic milking, comprising the steps of: arranging a milking teat having a milk channel with a milk output into a teat cup having a milk output; generating in the teat cup a vacuum action, permanently communicating with the milking teat for vacuum acting on the milking teat, and providing in the teat cup a mechanical action on at least one lateral part of the milking teat for mechanical acting on the milking teat; modulating the vacuum action without interrupting a spatial channel for movement of a flow of milk between the milk output of the milk channel of the milking teat and the milk output of the teat cup; selecting a modulating frequency to provide a modulating period; predetermining and providing a milking period including a milking phase and a resting phase of the periodic process of dynamic milking each phase having a phase duration, the modulating having a modulating range providing a change of a value of the vacuum action between a maximal value and a minimal value, and a modulating law providing a form of the change of the value of the vacuum action during each milking period; and changing the mechanical action without interrupting the spatial channel for movement of the flow of milk between the milk output of the milk channel of the milking teat and the milk output of the teat cup, the changing having a changing range providing a change of a value of the mechanical action between a maximal value and a minimal value, and a changing law providing a form of the change of the value of the mechanical action during each milking period such that an increase of the mechanical action occurs at the same time as an increase of the vacuum action on the milking teat, each to the respective maximal value during the phase duration of the milking phase, and a decrease of the mechanical action occurs at the same time as a decrease of the vacuum action on the milking teat, each to the respective minimal value during the phase duration of the resting phase, such that the increasing and decreasing of the vacuum action and the mechanical action provide in-phase modulating and changing, respectively, in each milking period to cause the flow of milk without interrupting the spatial channel for its movement between the milk output of the milk channel of the milking teat and the milk output of the teat cup for an energy-physiological optimization of the periodic process of dynamic milking.
