DETERMINATION OF THE REQUIRED POWERFOR THE MACHINE COW MILKING PROCESS

Abstract

The purpose of the work is theoretical research in determining the required power for the process of machine milking, depending on the design and technological parameters of the milking machine. The novelty of the work is in obtaining analytical expressions to determine the required power for the process of machine cow milking, taking into account its milk output, as well as the design and technological parameters of the milking unit.

The introduction contains brief information on the analysis of energy consumption of the livestock industry and, in particular, cattle farms. In the main part of the work, theoretical studies were carried out to determine the required
capacity for milking milk from the udder of a cow and its transportation to the milking machine receiver, taking into account its design parameters.

It is established that the required power for the process of machine cow milking is N_д1 = 0.105 kW in a two-stroke milking machine and N_д2 = 0.1226 kW in a three-four-stroke at р_в = 40 kPa, χ_п = 60 min–1, the ratio of cycles 60/40.

The results of the research will be useful in the development of milking machine designs for selecting the most energy-efficient operation parameters, taking into account the intensity of the animalʼs milk output.
