Abstract
expelling device, configured to incite an animal (18) to exit from of a milking stable (14) in which the animal is standing during a milking session and in connection to which the expelling device is configured to be arranged, wherein in the milking stable (14) is of a type which has a front wall element (15) and lateral wall elements (16, 17) and is configured to house an animal (18) that is being milked in said milking stable (14) with its head directed to and close to said front wall element (15). The expelling device comprises a sheet (1) configured to move vertically from an elevated position to a position adjacent to a front end of the milking stable (14) and adjacent to a lateral wall element (16) of the milking stable (14), upon detection that an animal is present in the milking stable and when it is decided that the animal shall leave the milking stable.
Claims (19)
1. An expelling device, configured to incite an animal to exit from of a milking stable in which the animal is standing during a milking session and in connection to which the expelling device is configured to be arranged, wherein the milking stable is of a type which has a 5 front wall element and lateral wall elements and is configured to house an animal that is being milked in said milking stable with its head directed to and close to said front wall element, wherein said expelling device comprises -a sheet configured to move vertically from an elevated position to an operative position adjacent to a front end of the milking stable and adjacent to a lateral wall element of the 10 milking stable upon detection of the following conditions: -an animal is present in the milking stable, and -it is decided that the animal shall leave the milking stable.
2. An expelling device according to claim 1, characterised in that the sheet is opaque.
3. An expelling device according to claim 1 or 2, characterised in that the sheet has a main 15 extension plane and has an area of at least 10 dm in said main extension plane.
4. An expelling device according to any one of claims 1-3, characterised in that the sheet comprises an outer surface made of rubber.
5. An expelling device according to any one of claims 1-4, characterised in that it comprises a suspension arm and a suspension wire that extends from the suspension arm and that 20 is connected to the sheet in one end of the wire.
6. An expelling device according to claim 5, characterised in that it comprises a power device configured to control the position of the sheet by pulling or relieving the wire.
7. An expelling device according to claim 6, characterised in that the power device is connected to a manoeuvre element configured to be manually controlled and configured 25 to control the operation of the power device.
8. An expelling device according to claim 6, characterised in that it comprises a detecting means configured to detect the presence of an animal in a milking stable at which the expelling device is configured to be arranged, and that it comprises a control unit, wherein said control unit is connected to the detecting means and the power device and configured to control the operation of the power device on basis of information received from the detecting means. 5
9. An expelling device according to any one of claims 6-8, characterised in that said power device is a pneumatic power cylinder.
10. A milking arrangement, comprising a milking stable, wherein said milking stable has a front wall element and lateral wall elements and is configured to house an animal that is being milked in said milking stable with its head directed to and close to said front wall element, 10 wherein said milking arrangement being comprises an expelling device according to any one of claims 1-9.
11. A milking arrangement according to claim 10, characterised in that the milking arrangement comprises at least one further, second milking stable, wherein the first and the second milking stables are divided by the lateral wall element adjacent to which the 15 sheet is configured to move from said elevated position.
12. A milking arrangement according to claim 11, characterised in that each of the first and second milking stables comprises a food manger, and that the sheet, when moved to its operative position adjacent to the lateral wall element, is configured to prevent an animal stationed in the first milking stable from seeing the food manger in the second milking 20 stable.
13. A milking arrangement according to claim 11 or 12, characterised in that each of the first and second milking stables comprises a food manger, and that the sheet, when moved to its operative position adjacent to the lateral wall element, is configured to prevent an animal stationed in the first milking stable from reaching the food manger in the second 25 milking stable.
14. A milking arrangement according to any one of claims 10-13, characterised in that the milking arrangement is a rotary parlour in which a plurality of milking stables are provided side by side on a rotating platform, and that the milking arrangement comprises a fixed exit configured to enable exit of an animal from a first milking stable facing said exit, and a fixed entrance configured to enable entrance of an animal into a neighbouring second milking stable facing said entrance, wherein the exit is adjacent the entrance and the exit and entrance of animals take place in neighbouring first and second milking stables.
15. A milking arrangement according to claim 14, characterised in that the expelling device is 5 stationary arranged at the exit.
16. A method of controlling the position of a sheet of an expelling device according to any one of claims 1-9 in a milking arrangement according to any one of claims 10-15, wherein the sheet is moved from an elevated position to an operative position adjacent to a front end of the milking stable and adjacent to a lateral wall element of the milking stable upon 10 detection of the following conditions: -an animal is present in the milking stable, and -it is decided that the animal shall leave the milking stable.
17. An expelling device according to claim 1, substantially as herein described and exemplified. 15
