Abstract:
The counter comprises for each quarter of the udder, a chamber (37) for receiving a continuous milk flow, under the discharge opening (58) of which is mounted a doser (39) connected to a generator (41) of electric signals which correspond to the milk doses. The counter also comprises a programming unit (66), a unit (14) for registering the milk output parameters of the animal, comprising, for each quarter of its udder, a milk yield transmitter (43) to which is connected the corresponding generator (41), and a milking time transmitter (44). The milk yield transmitter (43) consists of a microprocessor device with outputs for individual connection to the programming unit (66). The chamber (37) is provided with a pick-up of the beginning and termination of milking for each quarter of the udder of the animal, which consists of a float (56) with a magnet (57), mounted with the possibility of reciprocating movement during the process of filling the chamber (37), along an air-discharge tube (55) vertically mounted in the chamber (37). The transmitter (44) is provided with a sensor element (53) interacting with the magnet (57) at the moments of the beginning and termination of milking. The discharge opening (58) of the chamber (37) has a cross-sectional area corresponding to a preset milk flow rate at the moments of the beginning and termination of milking for each quarter of the udder of the animal.
