SENSOR FOR TEAT POSITION OF AUTOMATIC MILKING MACHINE

摘要

PURPOSE: To accurately and rapidly sense the teat position and remarkably miniaturize the whole apparatus. CONSTITUTION: This sensor for the teat position is obtained by installing a teat position sensor part 2 having a sensor unit 3 comprising many optical sensors 4... capable of detecting the distance among bodies of dairy cattle containing the whole teats when located under the teats Cm... in the form of a matrix and a controlling part for detecting the teat position from the results of detection obtained from the respective optical sensors 4.
