PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a low-cost milk meter sampling means through avoiding the upsizing of the milk meter.SOLUTION: The milk meter 1 includes: a weighing vessel 2 connected midway of a milk feed line Lm and capable of reserving milk M flowing into via a relevant port 2i a milk surface detector 3 to detect the surface Mu of the milk M reserved in the vessel 2 and a valve mechanism 4 capable of opening/closing the efflux port 2e of the vessel 2. In constructing the milk meter 1, a necked part 2sd is formed at at least one position of a longitudinally midway part on a cylindrically formed circumferential surface 2f the weighing vessel 2 with the inner circumferential surface of the necked part 2sd served as the efflux port 2e is equipped and beneath the inner circumferential surface of the necked part 2sd, a dispensing port 10i for sampling part of the milk M discharged via the efflux port 2e is disposed, and a sampling means 10 to guide the milk M sampled via the dispensing port 10i into the outside of the vessel 2 is equipped.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】大型化を回避し、低コストの乳量計サンプリング手段を提供する。【解決手段】送乳ラインLmの中途に接続し、流入口2iから流入する乳Mを貯留可能な計量容器部2と、この計量容器部2の内部に貯留される乳Mの液面Muを検出する液面検出部3と、計量容器部2の流出口2eを開閉可能な弁機構部4を備える乳量計1を構成するに際して、円筒状に形成した周面部2fにおける縦方向中間部の少なくとも一個所に括れ部2sdを形成し、この括れ部2sdの内周面を流出口2eとした計量容器部2を備えるとともに、括れ部2sdの内周面の下方に、流出口2eから流出した乳Mの一部を採取する分取口10iを配し、この分取口10iから採取した乳Mを計量容器部2の外部に導くサンプリング手段10を設ける。【選択図】図1
