Abstract
Mechanization and robotization of dairy farms require the development of technologies for assessing the quality of manufactured products. Monitoring milk composition and milking duration in real time is especially important for prompt response to deviations in animal physiological state parameters and timely adjustment of rations when milk yields decrease. The first version of the scatterometric device for express analysis of milk quality used a glass measuring chamber with a simple round cross-section, but it did not ensure the reduction of the turbulent flow of the milk-air mixture to laminar. This study presents the development and testing of a prototype of a measuring chamber that provides deceleration and laminarization of the milk-air mixture flow. The device operates at a milking capacity of 1 to 6 l/min, flow speed from 0.2 to 1.8 m/s. In the developed measuring chamber, a special bypass is created at an angle of 45° so that it has a common slot with the main tube. In this bypass, the flow of the milk-air mixture is slowed down to reduce turbulence and the number of air bubbles that interfere with the operation of scatterometric devices. The measurement area of the device is located in the upper part of the bypass. As a result, the developed measuring chamber has an internal diameter of the main part of 15 mm, the bypass of 11 mm, and provides close to 100% filling of the branch with liquid at the moment of the milk plug passage. The developed measuring chamber allowed the new version of the express milk quality analysis device to achieve increased accuracy and stability of measurements.
