DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0030] Furthermore, in conjunction with the accompanying diagrams and the specific implementation approach, the invention will be further elucidated. It is important to note that, provided there is no contradiction, the subsequent implementation scenarios or technical attributes may be combined at will to create new implementation scenarios.

Example 1

[0031] As depicted in FIG. 1, this implementation example of the rapid cleaning system for milking cups in the milking hall comprises a bottom plate 1, a supporting pipe 2 firmly affixed to the top of the bottom plate 1, a supporting positioning component 3 securely attached to the upper section of the supporting pipe 2, a lifting mechanism 4 slidingly encompassing the supporting pipe 2, a clamping and fixing mechanism 6 linking the outer circumference of the supporting pipe 2 to the supporting positioning component 3, and a cleaning mechanism 7 positioned at the lower extremity of the clamping and fixing mechanism 6 and slidingly connected to the supporting pipe 2;

[0032] The implementation principle of a rapid cleaning system of milking cups in milking hall is as follows:

[0033] The milk collector of the milking cup group is positioned on the lifting mechanism 4. When placing the milking cup on the supporting positioning component 3, the hose connected to the top of the milking cup is guided by the supporting positioning component 3. As the lifting mechanism 4 ascends, it clamps and secures the hose at the top of the milking cup, effectively performing the clamping action on the milking cup. Subsequently, the cleaning mechanism 7 is employed to cleanse both the inner and outer surfaces of the milking cup, thereby accomplishing the cleaning procedure of the milking cup. This innovative system effectively resolves the milking cup cleaning process, mitigating the risk of cross-infection between different groups of milking cows.

Example 2

[0034] According to FIG. 2, the further improvement of this example based on example 1 is: [0035] The supporting positioning component 3 includes a long strip structure plate 31 fixed to the top of the supporting pipe 2. It also incorporates four sets of guide grooves 33, evenly distributed in an axial array along the outer side of the supporting plate 31. A storage groove 32 opens at the entrance of the four sets of guide grooves 33, and these are accompanied by four sets of arc-shaped structures that pass through the supporting plate 31; [0036] The supporting plate 31 extends through the through hole which is slidingly connected with the lifting mechanism 4. The inner wall of the through hole is securely fixed to the chute 2 44, which in turn is slidably connected to the lifting mechanism 4. The width of the storage groove 32 gradually narrows in the direction from the storage groove 32 to the guide groove 33. The chute 2 serves to restrict and guide the movement of a lifting rod 42; [0037] While guiding and limiting the milking cup, the milk collector of the milking cup group for milking is placed on the lifting mechanism 4. When the milk collector is pushed upward, the connecting hose at the top of the milking cup moves to the end of the guiding groove 33, which is situated away from the storage groove 32, due to the upward tension, thus achieving the guiding and limiting operation of the milking cup.

Example 3

[0038] According to FIG. 3, the further improvement of this example based on example 1 is: [0039] The lifting mechanism 4 includes a screw 41 that is movably sleeved with the supporting pipe 2 through the bearing seat, a lifting rod 42 with a thread sleeve at the top of the screw 41, and it is slidingly connected to the supporting plate 31. There is a trapezoidal structure fixed at the bottom of the lifting rod 42. The lifting rod 42 extends to one end at the top of the supporting plate 31 and is fixed with a placement plate 45. The side of the extrusion block 43, which is situated away from the lifting rod 42, is equipped with a chute 1, and on the outside of the lifting rod 42, there is a chute 2 44 that connects to the chute 1. Both the chute 1 and chute 2 44 are slidingly connected to the clamping and fixing mechanism 6. A motor is fixed to the bottom plate 1 at the bottom of the screw 41 to ensure the stability of the rack 64's position during the lifting process with the lifting rod 42. The cross sections of chute 2 44, chute 1, and the slider are all of T-shaped structures; [0040] Upon starting the motor, the screw 41 rotates, thereby driving the lifting rod 42 to move upward. This upward movement pushes the milk collector positioned on top of the placement plate 45 in an upward direction. Simultaneously, the extrusion block 43 drives the clamping and fixing mechanism 6, causing it to clamp and fix in place.

Example 4

[0041] According to FIGS. 4-5, the further improvement of the example based on the example 1 is: [0042] The clamping and fixing mechanism 6 includes a cover 61 which is connected with the sliding sleeve at the outer ring of the supporting pipe 2, the gear ring 62 which is fixed at the bottom of the cover 61, a gear 63 which is meshed on the side of the gear ring 62, the rotating shaft which is fixed to the gear 63 at the bottom of the supporting plate 31 and a rack 64 which is slidingly connected with the supporting pipe 2, and the gear 63 is meshed with the rack 64, the rack 64 extends to one end of the supporting pipe 2 and is fixed with the chute 2 44 slidingly connected with the lifting mechanism 4, the top outer ring of the cover 61 is fixed with four sets of extension rods 65 which are in conflict with the bottom of the supporting plate 31, the other end of the extension rod 65 is fixed with the bottom splint 66 of the arc structure, fixing the top of the extension rod 65 near the cover shell 61 with the connecting rod 67 which slides into the channel 34, fixing the top of the connecting rod 67 extending into the extension channel 34 with the extension rod 2 68 which is set in parallel with the extension rod 65, fixing the extension rod 2 68 is fixed with the top splint 69 of the arc structure; [0043] The bottom splint 66 is far away from the end of the extension rod 65 and the top splint 69 is far away from the end of the extension rod 2 68, and the slope is tilted, and the slope is located on the concave side of the bottom splint 66 or the top splint 69; [0044] In the process of clamping and fixing the milking cup, placing the milk collector of the milking cup group for milking on the placement plate 45 of the lifting mechanism 4 to move upward with the placement plate 45, and pushing the milk collector upward. meanwhile, the hose connecting the top of the milk collector moves to the end of the guide groove 33 away from the storage groove 32 under the action of upward tension, when the top of the milking cup is close to the supporting plate 31, the extrusion block 43 on the lifting mechanism 4 moves to the position of the rack 64, and then under the extrusion of the extrusion block 43, the rack 64 drives the gear 63 to rotate, and then drives the gear ring 62 to rotate, so that the cover shell 61 rotates, when the cover shell 61 rotates, the extension rod on it rotates 65, and the top splint 66 moves in the direction of the guide groove 33, and cooperates with the baffle on the supporting plate 31 to clamp the hose from the bottom of the supporting plate 31, according to the same way as above, the hose is clamped at the top of the supporting plate 31, when the clamping is completed, the rack 64 moves from the inclined surface of the extrusion block 43 to the vertical surface, meanwhile, the lifting mechanism 4 pushes the milk collector upward at one end, and pulls the hose upward, so that the top of the milking cup contacts with the bottom of the bottom splint 66 and the stopper, and is clamped from the top of the milking cup, completing the clamping and fixing operation of the milking cup, and realizing the placement operation of the milking cup group, in the process of clamping, it does not contact with the outer ring of the milking cup, reducing the probability of bacterial contact infection.

Example 5

[0045] According to FIG. 6, the further improvement of this example based on example 1 is as follows: [0046] The cleaning mechanism 7 includes a push plate 71 that is slid over the outer ring of the supporting pipe 2. It also includes four sets of cleaning pipes 72 that are affixed to the top of the push plate 71. The top inner ring of these four groups of cleaning pipes 72 is equipped with a ring-like structure. A sealed airbag 73 is incorporated, with its lower part forming an accommodating cavity 74, featuring a ring-like structure, situated on the body of the cleaning pipe 72. Additionally, at the bottom inner ring of the cleaning pipe 72, there is a water receiving tank 75 mounted at the top of the push plate 71. The opening of this water receiving tank 75 is secured by a ring-like structure. A discharge plate 76 has a discharge hole that passes through it, with the inner ring of the discharge hole 76 firmly attached to a sealing plate 77. The top of the sealing plate 77 is secured to the upper part of the intermediate nozzle 78, which has a conical structure at its top. The outer side of the intermediate nozzle 78 features a protrusion 79, which is attached to the top of the discharge hole 76; [0047] The lower section of the intermediate nozzle 78 is affixed to an inlet pipe, which is securely connected to the sealing plate 77. The intermediate nozzle 78 extends through a nozzle hole, and the inner wall of the cleaning pipe 72 is equipped with a nozzle hole that connects to the holding cavity 74. The cleaning pipe 72 is firmly attached to an inlet pipe 2, which is connected to the holding cavity 74. The bottom of the water-receiving tank 75 is fixedly connected to a drainage pipe linked to it. The lower part of the push plate 71 is securely fastened to the bottom plate 1. The push rod motor is employed to actuate unit one, and the cleaning pipe 72 is firmly connected to a gas pipe that links to the sealed airbag 73; [0048] The cleaning pipe 72 is located beneath the termination of the guide groove 33, distanced from the storage groove 32, Both the upper and lower portions of the guide groove 33, situated opposite the storage groove 32, are equipped with arc-shaped baffles affixed to the supporting plate 31. The end of the guide groove 33, situated away from the storage groove 32, exhibits a semi-circular structure, and the curvature of the guide groove 33 aligns with that of the baffles; [0049] Throughout the cleansing procedure, the initial actuation by push unit 1 propels the entire assembly of push plate 7 in an upward direction. During this phase, cleaning pipe 72 traverses from beneath the outer circumference of the milking cup, and subsequently, intermediate nozzle 78 advances from the underside of the milking cup's inner rim, contacting the upper surface of raised section 79. Following this, the pneumatic system is engaged, causing the inflation of sealed airbag 73, which creates a hermetic seal at the upper portion of the milking cup. Subsequently, cleansing fluid is introduced via the first and second inlet pipes, entering the milking cup. The cleaning process ensues, with intermediate nozzle 78 directing the flow from the inner circumference of the milking cup, while cleaning pipe 72 attends to the outer rim of the milking cup. Consequently, the milking cup undergoes thorough cleaning of both its inner and outer rims. Importantly, the hermetic seal established during this process prevents any leakage of the cleaning solution.

Example 6

[0050] The upper section of the bottom plate 1 is configured with a control unit encompassing a control box, a reservoir unit for liquids, a reclamation container, and an air pump. The air pump is interconnected to the pneumatic system through tubing. Additionally, the liquid reservoir unit establishes connections with both inlet pipe 1 and inlet pipe 2. Moreover, the air pump is linked to both inlet pipe 1 and inlet pipe 2 through flexible hoses. An array of solenoid valves is installed within the pneumatic circuitry, encompassing the tracheal conduit, hoses, inlet pipe 1, and inlet pipe 2. Housed within the control enclosure is an electronic controller, which is interfaced with the solenoid valves, electric motor, air pump, and actuating motor for push rod displacement.

[0051] During the drying phase following the cleaning process, the solenoid valves on both the first and second inlet pipes are shut, while the solenoid valve on the hose is opened. This configuration allows the drying airflow to enter the first and second inlet pipes via the hose. The same principle used for cleaning is employed to dry both the inner and outer surfaces of the milking cup effectively.

[0052] This design offers a dedicated platform for the milking cup group, allowing for the orderly placement of four distinct sets of milking cups. This segregation minimizes the potential for contact and cross-contamination between milking cups during placement, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial infections. Moreover, the system includes provisions for cleaning and disinfecting the milking cup group during placement. This comprehensive approach effectively addresses milking cup cleaning challenges, mitigates the risk of cross-infection between different groups of milking cows, and lowers the probability of cow infections during the milking process. Furthermore, during the disinfection phase, the hose at the top of the milking cup is securely clamped and immobilized to minimize contact with the milking cup, further decreasing the risk of bacterial transmission.

[0053] The previously described implementation method represents the preferred embodiment of the invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention's protection. Any modifications or substitutions made by skilled individuals in this field, which do not substantially deviate from the principles of the invention, fall within the scope of protection defined by the present invention.
