Abstract
Device for automatically feeding calves with a mixing container for mixing a liquid food product, a teat, a connection line, which connects the mixing container with the teat, a branch line, which branches off from the connection line at a branch point and connects the connection line with a pump and a controller for controlling the pump, where a sensor is arranged on the teat, which is connected with the controller and is designed to detect a movement and/or deformation of the teat, and the controller is designed to control the pump during detection of a movement and/or deformation of the teat such that liquid food product is delivered out of the branch line towards the branch point until liquid food product exits the teat.
Claims12
A device for automatically feeding calves with
- a mixing container (10) for mixing a liquid food product,
- a teat (12),
- a connection line (14), which connects the mixing container (10) with the teat (12),
- a branch line (16), which branches off from the connection line (14) at a branch point (18) and connects the connection line (14) with a pump and
- a controller (22) for controlling the pump (20), characterized in that
- a sensor is arranged on the teat (12), which is connected with the controller (22) and is designed to detect a movement and/or deformation of the teat (12), and
- the controller (22) is designed to control the pump during detection of a movement and/or deformation of the teat (12) such that liquid food product is delivered out of the branch line (16) towards the branch point (18) until liquid food product exits the teat (12).
