Problems solved by technology

This caking can worsen the hygienic conditions of the cleaning unit and in worse cases lead to contamination of the milking cups
Ribs are a possible type of protrusion used to create said gaps or distances, but when ribs are used there is also a risk of particle accumulation

[0052] According to a first embodiment, the annular bottom surface 12 is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis x.

[0053] see image 3 and Figure 7 , each rib 14 may have a constant or substantially constant height H above the annular bottom surface 12 along its direction of extension. The height H may be of the order of 1-2 mm. The height H also forms the height of the gap 15 .

[0054] Each rib 14 may define an upper surface U. see Figure 7 , when viewed from a radial plane, the upper surface U may be straight or substantially straight to allow the upper surface U of the rib 14 to form a corresponding abutment with the upper end surface 8 of the teat cup 7 received by the cleaning unit 3, see image 3 . As mentioned above, each rib 14 and the extension of the upper surface U may be curved when viewed in the direction of the longitudinal central axis x, see Figure 6 .

[0055] As shown, especially in Figure 5-7 , each rib ...

Abstract

A cleaning device comprises cleaning units (3) for cleaning teatcups (7). The cleaning unit receives a teatcup and comprises a cup-shaped member (10). The cup-shaped member comprises an annular bottomsurface (12) extending around a longitudinal central axis (x) of the cleaning unit,and aside surface (13) extending around the annular bottom surface and facing the longitudinal central axis. Ribs (14) protrude from the annular bottom surface and have an extension between an inner position (A) and an outer position (B) on the annular bottom surface. The inner position is located more closely to the longitudinal central axis than the outer position. The ribs are configured to create a gap (15) between the annular bottom surface and an end surface (8) of a teatcup received in the cleaning unit.Each of the ribs is curved along at least a part of the extension.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the cleaning of teat cups of milking installations. In particular, the invention relates to a cleaning unit according to the preamble of claim 1 . Furthermore, the invention relates to a cleaning device for cleaning teat cups of a milking device. Background technique [0002] A problem with known cleaning units is that dust and other particles (such as microorganisms) can collect and form lumps in the cup-shaped member, especially at the corners between the annular bottom surface and the side surfaces, and in various types of The protrusions serve to create a gap or distance between the cup-shaped member and the surface of the teatcup received therein to enable cleaning fluid to reach the outer surface of the teatcup. This caking can worsen the hygienic conditions of the cleaning unit and in worse cases lead to contamination of the milking cups. Ribs are a possible type of protrusion to create said gaps or ...
