APPARATUS FOR DETECTING VACUUM OF ADJOINING TEAT CUP LINERS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: milking equipment. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has artificial teat with base, contact unit, pressure pulsator and detector. Contact unit has current-conductive core with coaxial flexible current-conductive pipe. Detector has former, analog-to-digital converter, microprocessor, indicator and "start" button. Pressure sensor allows teat cavity vacuum to be registered. Analog-to-digital converter for supplying given data, former and "start" button are connected with related inputs of microprocessor, whose output is connected to indicator. EFFECT: increased precision of measurement by eliminating effect of relaxation of teat cup liner on measurement results, strict registration of teat cup liner adjoining moment, reduced labor intensity. 2 cl, 2 dwg
