Description

The utility model relates to agriculture, namely to technologies for keeping and servicing cows, more specifically to the design of devices for monitoring parameters and operating modes of machinery and equipment for milk production farms, and can be used on dairy cattle farms with various methods of keeping and livestock of animals.

Known dairy farm (utility model RU 43123 U1, A01K 1/00, 2005.10.01) including a barn for loose-box housing of cows, feed and dung passages placed therein, a milking unit and a dairy. The milking unit is located in the aft passage, and the aft passage is combined with the dung passage. The milking unit is located along the aft passage in its middle part. The dairy is located in the barn, is separated from the milking unit and is located at the doors of the aft passage.

The disadvantages of the known dairy farm are the lack of constant (in real time) monitoring of compliance with the parameters and operating modes of technological equipment, which leads to a deterioration in the quality of the performed technological processes and operations, a decrease in the productivity of animals, diseases of animals and maintenance personnel, premature wear and failure farm machinery and equipment, increased consumption of energy and other resources. This leads to serious financial losses, a decrease in the profitability of milk production and losses.

A known method, device and computer program product for managing a group of dairy cattle (US Pat. RF No. 2464780 AK 5/02) device for controlling a group of dairy cattle, comprising a device for identifying an individual animal from a group of dairy cattle, a computer and an automatic feeding device, controlled specified computer. A feed dispenser for dispensing a consumed diet or its components. An automatic feeding device includes a plurality of feeding containers into which the feed product can be individually delivered and which are controlled by a computer according to the amount of feed product of the corresponding type. Additionally comprising a mixing device for the feed product, an automatic milking system, which is preferably computer controlled and preferably controls vacuum milking, suction / rest ratio, milking program and milking interval. A computer-readable medium with a computer program executed on a medium that can be read by a device computer.

The disadvantages of this technical solution are limited (only for the process of milking, feeding cows) control of some parameters and operating modes of the milking unit and feed dispenser, milk quality is not recorded, there is no control over the operation of other technological machines and farm equipment, accounting for the consumption of resources, which is certainly not allows you to organize the most efficient milk production.

The objectives of this utility model are to improve the conditions of maintenance and servicing of cows, ensuring high reliability of the operation of machinery and equipment, the quality of machine-technological processes and operations while reducing resource costs and ensuring high quality milk.

The tasks are solved due to the fact that the device for monitoring the parameters and operating modes of machinery and equipment for milk production farms has individual animal identification sensors, a computer with a program and additional sensors in systems for the disposal of manure, microclimate, farm resource supply, and product quality control: pressure, temperature, humidity, air movement, level of carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, flow of water, gas, liquid fuel, volume and electrical conductivity of milk, mass consumed PMA, electrical quantities - voltage, current, power consumption, the signals from which are fed to the inputs of their multi-channel digital meters, the outputs of the latter are connected through a data acquisition module, to the input of the farm computer, to the second input of which a signal is received from the visual control recorder connected to the cameras installed on the farm, while the farm computer is wired or wirelessly connected to users' computers.

New significant features:

1. Additional sensors are installed in the systems for the disposal of manure, microclimate, farm resource supply, and product quality control: pressure, temperature, humidity, air movement, carbon dioxide level, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, water flow, gas, liquid fuel, volume and electrical conductivity of milk, mass consumed feed, electrical quantities - voltage, current, power consumption.

2. Signals from additional sensors are fed to the inputs of their multi-channel digital meters, the outputs of the latter are connected through a data acquisition module, to the input of the farm computer.

3. A signal from the visual control recorder connected to video cameras installed on the farm is fed to the second input of the farm computer.

4. The farm computer is wired or wirelessly connected to users' computers.

These new essential features, together with the known ones, are necessary and sufficient to achieve a technical result in all cases to which the requested amount of legal protection applies.

The technical result.

The proposed technical solution allows to improve the conditions of maintenance and servicing of cows, to ensure high reliability of machinery and equipment, the quality of machine-technological processes and operations while reducing the cost of resources and to ensure high quality milk.

A device for monitoring the parameters and operating modes of machines and equipment of milk production farms includes groups of sensors installed directly in livestock buildings on machines and equipment that perform separate technological processes and operations for the maintenance and servicing of cows connected to multichannel digital devices, a data acquisition module, a computer, there is a system of visual control of the behavior of staff and animals, which ensures highly efficient production of high quality milk.

The dairy farm has sensors for milking process 1, sensors for feeding process 2, sensors for manure disposal system 3, sensors for microclimate system 4, sensors for resource supply system 5 and sensors for product quality control system 6 (not shown in FIG. 1). The signals from these sensors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are fed to the inputs of their multi-channel digital meters (MCIs) 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, respectively. The outputs of the MCI 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 through the data acquisition module 13 are connected to the input of the computer with the farm program 14, the signal from the cameras 15 installed on the farm is fed to the second input of the latter through the visual control recorder 16. Computer with the program 14, a wired or wireless line 17 is connected to users' computers 18.

A device for monitoring the parameters and modes of operation of machinery and equipment of milk production farms as follows. In the process of milk production and service of animals in the premises, a number of machines and equipment are involved, which are divided into groups in accordance with the technological processes. Each machine and unit of equipment is equipped with a number of sensors of physical quantities 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 that fix certain operating parameters, for example, temperature, humidity, pressure, speed, speed, voltage, current, power, gas composition and others.
