ADAPTIVE MILKING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A01J5/04 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture, particularly to stock breeding mechanisation devices. The adaptive milking apparatus comprises double-chamber teat cups, vacuum pressure regulators in under-mammillary and inter-wall chambers of teat cups and a four-chamber collector. The vacuum pressure regulator in the under-mammillary chamber of the teat cup is in form of an inter-wall chamber, formed by a rigid body and an elastic pipe, and a variable vacuum pressure chamber, placed inside the pipe, which has T-shaped connecting pipe, lateral ends of which form a slit with the pipe, and its free end is joined to the milk-receiving chamber of the collector. The inter-wall chamber of the vacuum pressure regulator has two calibrated channels one of which joins the inter-wall chamber with the vacuum pressure source, and the other - with the atmosphere. Parametres of the calibrated channels are selected such that, when atmospheric air enters the inter-wall chamber with simultaneous pumping out of air, given stimulating vacuum pressure is set, for example 33 kPa.

EFFECT: milking apparatus provides for gentle effect on mammary glands, increases milk yield and reduces mastitis.
