Abstract

A monitoring system for monitoring a milking point includes an input configured to receive an electrical pulsation signal for controlling pulsation of a pulsator, and a processor configured to identify the occurrence of a milking session based on the electrical pulsation signal received at the input. A signal sensor measures a characteristic of the pulsation signal. The monitoring system may include a connector configured for electrical connection with a solenoid of a pulsator of the milking point. A power harvesting module is configured to harvest power from a flyback voltage generated by the solenoid upon interruption of a current supplied to the solenoid.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a stimulation device (201) intended for a milking pneumatic pulsator (101) capable of varying the operating frequency of said pulsator over a desired time period, as well as a pulsator assembly (301) comprising a pneumatic pulsator (101) and said stimulation device (201). By virtue of the stimulation device (201) according to the invention, the pneumatic pulsator can be operated at a frequency of 180 - 200 ppm over a limited time period, thus stimulating the teat of the animal at the beginning of the milking step. According to the invention, the stimulation device (201) comprises at least one by-pass channel intended for the passage of the pneumatic medium and having a cross-section larger than that of the pulsator adjustment channel, whereby, when the pneumatic medium is guided through said by-pass channel, the frequency of the pulsator is increased to a value suitable for stimulation over a limited, adjustable time period, and when the passage of the pneumatic medium through the by-pass channel is prevented, the nominal frequency of the pulsator is duly restored.
