An implement for milking animals

摘要

An implement for automatically milking animals, such as cows, comprises a milking parlour and a robot arm (6) by means of which teat cups (45 to 48) are automatically connectable to the teats of an animal's udder. The implement is further provided with a temperature measuring element by means of which after a teat cup (2) has been brought to a teat of the animal's udder and a vacuum has been produced in the teat cup inner space, a signal is generated indicative for the occurrence of "blind milking", i.e. the folding of a teat during automatic connection of a teat cup to said teat. <IMAGE>
