ARTIFICIAL UDDER Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC G09B9/00 A01J7/00 

FIELD: agricultural engineering, in particular, artificial udder as part of exerciser for training of machine milking operators.

SUBSTANCE: artificial udder has bowl-shaped casing with teats, container for liquid, electromagnetic valves, contact pairs, initial conditions setting unit for setting initial conditions characterizing udder properties, with outputs of said unit being connected to inputs of unit for setting actions for controlling of udder temperature. Outputs of unit for setting actions for controlling of udder temperature are connected to inputs of volume controlling unit and unit for controlling temperature of liquid circulating within udder casing. Outputs of the latter are connected to inputs of interconnected units for controlling circulation and cooling of circulating liquid, massaging quality controlling unit, whose outputs are connected to input of unit for setting actions for controlling of milk simulating liquid, and its outputs are connected to units for controlling volume, temperature of milk simulating liquid, and feeding of milk simulating liquid into udder. Control units sending signals to power source, electromagnetic valve for regulating feeding of milk simulating liquid to udder, electromagnetic valve of pipeline for feeding and cooling of circulating liquid supplied to udder, centrifugal pump, and receiving signals of sensors indicative of level of milk simulating liquid in container, and for maintaining temperature at desired level, level and temperature sensors are designed for effectuating and regulating functioning of artificial udder in accordance with initial conditions.

EFFECT: increased precision in simulating physiological and analytical peculiarities of cow's udder.
