Pulsatorn l, som är av i sig känd konstruktion har två anslutningsnipplar ll resp 12.The pulsator 1, which is of construction known per se, has two connection nipples ll and 12 respectively.
Mjölkmottagningskärlet 2 består av en behållare 21, vid vars lägsta parti ett utlopp 22 är anordnat. I be- hållaren är inom en styrning 23 anordnad en flottör 24 och vid flottörens"hedre parti en givarkropp 25. När be- hållaren 21 fyllts till en nivå N motsvarande minst en fylld pumpkammare flyter flottören upp, vilket innebär att även givarekroppen fjärmas från intilliggande parti av behållarbottnen.The milk receiving vessel 2 consists of a container 21, at the lowest portion of which an outlet 22 is provided. I be- the holder is arranged within a guide 23 a float 24 and at the "honorable party" of the float a donor body 25. When the holder 21 is filled to a level N corresponding to at least one filled pump chamber floats up, which means that the sensor body is also removed from the adjacent portion of the container bottom.
Spenkoppsorganet 3 är av konventionellt utförande.The teat cup member 3 is of conventional design.
Mjölkledningen 31 från detsamma leder direkt till mjölk- mottagningsbehållaren 21. Spenkoppsorganet är på icke vwmfiflfl- »ÅIWJ-“ä- ~~ -n- . 10 15 20 30 35 8102187-5 3 visat sätt anslutet till mjölkningsanläggningens pulsator- system.The milk line 31 from it leads directly to the milk the receiving container 21. The teat cup member is on non vwm fiflfl- »ÅIWJ-“ ä- ~~ -n-. 10 15 20 30 35 8102187-5 3 as shown connected to the pulsator of the milking parlor system.
Membranpumpen 4 har minst två arbetsmembran 41 och 42 belägna mellan arbetskammare 43, 44 och 45. 1 vilka atmos- färtryck resp vakuum kan låtas verka och ett pampande membran 46, som skiljer ena arbetskammaren från pumpkam- maren 47. Pumpkammaren har ett mot behållaren 21 vettande inlopp 48 och ett utlopp 49 där en ledning mot en för- varingstank eller liknande är ansluten.The diaphragm pump 4 has at least two working diaphragms 41 and 42 located between chambers 43, 44 and 45. 1 which atmos- pressure or vacuum can be allowed to act and a pumping diaphragm 46, which separates one working chamber from the pump chamber maren 47. The pump chamber has one facing the container 21 inlet 48 and an outlet 49 where a conduit towards a storage tank or similar is connected.
Räkneverket 5 påverkas av pulsatorn och avkänner sådan framsläppt puls, som resulterar i tömning av pumpens arbetskammare.The counter 5 is affected by the pulsator and senses such released pulse, which results in emptying of the pump working room.
Pumpstyranordningen 6 innefattar en styrbar back- ventil 61 inkopplad mellan ena pulsatornippeln 12 och pumpen 4 och ett medelst ett membran 62 påverkat styrdon 6 i form av en backventilen påverkande tapp 63. Membranet 62 och därmed styrdonstappen 63 påverkas av en fjäder 64, som strävar att hålla styrdonstappen 63 i ett läge där den på- verkar backventilen 61 så att denna ej kan stänga mot sitt säte 65. Backventilen 61 är så inkopplad att den i opåverkat läge endast släpper igenom vakuumpulsen, men ej atmosfär- eller friskluftpulsen till pumpen 4 och räkne- verket 5. Membranet 62 avgränsar en kammare 66, i vilken vakuum eller atmosfärstryck kan råda.The pump control device 6 comprises a controllable reverse valve 61 connected between one pulsator nipple 12 and the pump 4 and a control device 6 actuated by means of a diaphragm 62 in the form of a non-return valve actuating pin 63. The diaphragm 62 and thus the guide pin 63 is actuated by a spring 64, which strives to hold the guide pin 63 in a position where it is the non-return valve 61 acts so that it cannot close its seat 65. The non-return valve 61 is so connected that it in the unaffected position only lets through the vacuum pulse, but not the atmospheric or fresh air pulse to the pump 4 and the the work 5. The membrane 62 defines a chamber 66, in which vacuum or atmospheric pressure may prevail.
Den med förstärkare försedda signalgivaren 7 består av en signaldel och en förstärkardel. Signaldelen inne- fattar en avkännings- och ventilkropp 71, som kontaktlöst avkänner läget hos den i behållaren Zl anordnade flottörens 24 givarkropp 25, varvid när flottören befinner sig L ett mot bottnen anliggande, otillräckligt fylld eller tömd behållare indikerande läge, givarkroppen 25 bringar av- kännings- och ventilkroppen att vara förskjuten till ett första läge, medan när flottören 24 flyter och har fjärmat sig från bottnen och alltså indikerar tillräckligt fylld behållare, givarkroppen 25 åstadkommer avkännings- och ventilkroppens förskjutning till ett andra läge. Avkännings- och ventilkroppen 71 styr vakuum till ett ställmembran 72, som i sin tur påverkar en växelventil 73, som via en 10 15 20 25 30 35 8102187-5 4 ledning 74 antingen låter ett konstant vakuum verka 1 styrorganets 6 membrankammare 66 eller insläpper atmosfär- eller friskluft i densamma.The signal transmitter 7 provided with amplifier remains of a signal part and an amplifier part. The signal part contains grasps a sensing and valve body 71, as contactless senses the position of the float of the float arranged in the container Z1 24 sensor body 25, whereby when the float is L one abutting, insufficiently filled or emptied container indicating position, the sensor body 25 brings off the sensing and valve body to be offset to one first position, while when the float 24 floats and has distanced itself from the bottom and thus indicates sufficiently filled container, the sensor body 25 provides sensing and displacement of the valve body to a second position. Sensing and the valve body 71 controls vacuum to an actuating diaphragm 72, which in turn affects a reversing valve 73, which via a 10 15 20 25 30 35 8102187-5 4 line 74 either allows a constant vacuum to act 1 the diaphragm chamber 66 of the guide member 6 or admits the atmospheric or fresh air in the same.
De 1 anläggningen ingående komponenterna är samman- kopplade på följande sätt.The components included in the plant are connected as follows.
Den ena pulsatornippeln ll är via en ledning direkt ansluten till en arbetskammare 44, hos pumpen 4. Den Jndrl pulsatornippeln 12 är via pumpstyranordningen 6 kopplad till pumpens båda andra arbetskammare 43, 45. Så länge backventilen 61 är opåverkad kommer endast vakuumpulserna att släppas genom till pumpkamrarna 43, 45, vilket inne- bär att, trots att pulsering sker i arbetskammaren 44, pumpen hålles kvar i sitt ena läge, fyllningsläget.One pulsator nipple ll is via a line directly connected to a working chamber 44, at the pump 4. The Jndrl the pulsator nipple 12 is connected via the pump control device 6 to the other two working chambers of the pump 43, 45. So long the non-return valve 61 is unaffected, only the vacuum pulses will come to be passed through to the pump chambers 43, 45, which means carries that, despite pulsation taking place in the working chamber 44, the pump is kept in its one position, the filling position.
Så länge behållaren 21 innehåller för fyllning av pumpkammaren 47 otillräcklig volym, dvs nivån ligger under den med N betecknade linjen, kommer flottören 24 att vara opåverkad.fGivarkroppen 25 gör då att avkännings- och ventilkroppen 71 hålles i det läge, där vakuumet hindras påverka ställmembranet 72 och växelventilen 73. Detta inne- bär att vakuumet konstant verkar mot pumpstyranordningens 6 membran 62, som håller styrdonstappen 63 i backventilen 61 icke påverkande läge. Backventilen kommer så länge be- hållaren 21 är otillräckligt fylld att verka som backventil och alltså släppa igenom vakuumpulserna men ej atmosfärs- tryckspulserna till pumpkammare 43 och 45.As long as the container 21 contains for filling pump chamber 47 insufficient volume, ie the level is below the line denoted by N, the float 24 will be unaffected.fThe sensor body 25 then allows sensing and the valve body 71 is held in the position where the vacuum is obstructed actuate the actuating diaphragm 72 and the reversing valve 73. This carries that the vacuum constantly acts against that of the pump control device 6 diaphragm 62, which holds the guide pin 63 in the non-return valve 61 non-affecting position. The non-return valve will be the holder 21 is insufficiently filled to act as a non-return valve and thus let through the vacuum pulses but not atmospheric the pressure pulses to pump chambers 43 and 45.
När behållaren 21 fyllts så mycket att nivån N över- skridits ooh flottörens givarkropp 25 fjärmat sig från avkännings- och ventilkroppen 71 släpper den sistnämnda fram vakuum till ställmembranet 72, som omställer växel- ventilen 73 så att atmosfär- eller friskluft inkommer i ledningen 74 mot pumpstyranordningens 6 membrankammare 66.When the container 21 is filled so much that the level N exceeds slipped ooh the float's sensor body 25 distanced itself from the sensing and valve body 71 releases the latter vacuum to the actuating diaphragm 72, which shifts the gear valve 73 so that atmospheric or fresh air enters the line 74 towards the diaphragm chamber 66 of the pump control device 6.
När vakuumet 1 nämnda kammare elimineras kommer membranet 62 och med detta styrdonstappen 63, genom fjäderns 64 in- verkan attÉförskjutas mot backventilen 61 påverkande läge.When the vacuum in said chamber is eliminated, the membrane comes 62 and with it the guide pin 63, through the spring 64 effect of being displaced towards the position of the non-return valve 61.
Backventilen overksamgöres därvid, vilket har till följd att såväl vakuumpulserna som tryckpulserna framsläppes till pumpens 4 kammare 43, 45, vilket i sin tur leder till att pumpenibörjar röra sig och att pumpkammaren 47 tömmes.The non-return valve is then deactivated, which results in that both the vacuum pulses and the pressure pulses are released to the pump 4 chambers 43, 45, which in turn leads to that the pump starts to move and that the pump chamber 47 is emptied.
T “fl-ßwex... _ - nu; a ,__..r 10 15 20 25 30 35 8102187-5 a Så länge mjölknivån är tillräckligt hög gör pumpen 4 upprepade fyllnings- och tömningsslag. När mjölken i be- hållaren 21 sjunkit under nivån N påverkar flottörens 24 givarkropp 25 ventilkroppen 71, som förskjutes och bryter vakuumetsinverkan på ställmembranet 72. Detta leder till att~växelventilen ånyo sätter pumpstyranord- ningens membrankammare 66 under vakuum, varvid dess membran 62 mot fjäderns 64 verkan förskjutes och förskjuter styr- donstappen 63 till dess backventilen 61 icke pâverkande läge. Backventilen 61 börjar därvid ånyo fungera, varvid, sedan pågående pumpslag fullbordats, friskluftspulserna hindras nå pumpens 4 arbetskammare 43 och 45 och pumpen hålles stilla i fyllningsläge.T “fl- ßwex ... _ - now; a , __ .. r 10 15 20 25 30 35 8102187-5 a As long as the milk level is high enough, the pump 4 repeated filling and emptying strokes. When the milk in the holder 21 has fallen below level N affects the float 24 sensor body 25 valve body 71, which is displaced and breaks the vacuum effect on the adjusting membrane 72. This leads to the ~ gear valve again setting the pump control device of the membrane chamber 66 under vacuum, its membrane 62 against the action of the spring 64 is displaced and displaces the the down pin 63 to its non-return valve 61 has no effect location. The non-return valve 61 then starts operating again, whereby, after the ongoing pump stroke has been completed, the fresh air pulses is prevented from reaching the working chambers 43 and 45 of the pump 4 and the pump kept still in filling position.
För att förhindra att i det fall nivån N uppnås vid sådan ogynnsam tidpunkt att endast en del av en atmosfär- eller friskluftssignal skulle nå pumpen, pumpen skall ut- föra ofullständigt tömningsslag - något som skulle ge upphov till mätfel - är fjädern 64 vid pumpstyrnings- organet så avpassad att den förmår förskjuta membranet 62 och styrdonstappen 63 enbart om vakuum råder i backventil- kammaren 67, dvs under pulsatorns vakuumfas. Detta innebär att enbart hela friskluftssignaler kan gå fram till pumpen 4 och att därigenom fullständiga tömningsslag garanteras.To prevent that in the case level N is reached at such an unfavorable time that only part of an atmosphere or fresh air signal should reach the pump, the pump should incomplete emptying stroke - something that would give causes a measurement error - is the spring 64 at the pump control the means so adapted that it is able to displace the membrane 62 and the actuator pin 63 only if vacuum is present in the non-return valve chamber 67, i.e. during the vacuum phase of the pulsator. This means that only whole fresh air signals can reach pump 4 and thereby complete emptying strokes guaranteed.
När man oavsett mjölknivån 1 behållaren 2l önskar tömma denna, exempelvis vid rengöring av systemet, påverkas ventilen 8, som bortkopplar signalgivaren och medger upp- repade fyllnings- och tömníngsrörelser hos pumpen.When, regardless of the milk level 1, the container 2l is desired emptying it, for example when cleaning the system, is affected valve 8, which disconnects the signal transmitter and allows scratched filling and emptying movements of the pump.
Det är uppenbart att man även kan anordna apparaten så att tryckförhållanden motsatta de angivna utnyttjas vid signalgivaren och styranordningen, varvid otillräckligt fylld behållare angivande signal indikeras av atmosfäre- tryck och fylld behållare av vakuum. Även pumpen kan vara utförd på annat sätt och kan därvid fyllnings- och tömnings- skeendena åstadkommas med motsatta pulser mot de tidigare angivna.It is obvious that the device can also be arranged so that pressure conditions opposite to those specified are utilized at the signal transmitter and the control device, whereby insufficient filled container indicating signal is indicated by atmospheric pressure and filled container of vacuum. The pump can also be performed in another way and can thereby fill and empty the events are accomplished with opposite pulses to the previous ones specified.
Signalen, som åstadkommer påverkan eller icke påverkan av backventilen, kan även åstadkommas på annat sätt än det 8102187-5 6 beskrivna. Väsentligt är dock i samtliga fall att man under ena betingelsen hindrar ett slag av pulser att nä pumpen och under andra betingelsen framsläpper båda slagen pulser.The signal which produces influence or non-influence of the non-return valve, can also be achieved in another way than that 8102187-5 6 described. It is important, however, in all cases that one under one condition prevents a beat of pulses from reaching the pump and under the second condition releases both strokes pulses.
S Uppfinningen får ej anses begränsad till det beskrivna och på ritningen visade, utan kan modifieras på ett flertal sätt inom ramen för efterföljande patentkrav.The invention must not be considered limited to what is described and shown in the drawing, but can be modified on a plurality within the scope of the appended claims.
