PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a milk meter accurately detecting milk level and further the yield of milk, and having increased multifunctionality and evolvability.SOLUTION: The milk meter 1 includes: a measuring container portion 2 connected to an intermediate part of a milk feeding line Lm and storing milk M flowing from an inlet 2i a liquid level detecting unit 3 for detecting the level Mu of the milk M stored in the measuring container portion 2 a valve mechanism portion 4 for opening and closing an outlet 2e of the measuring container portion 2 and a control system 5 for controlling the opening and closing of the valve mechanism portion 4 when at least the liquid level detecting unit 3 detects the milk level Mu. In the milk meter, a second detecting unit 6 using electrodes 6p and 6q for detecting at least electric conductivity of the milk M stored in the measuring container portion 2, is disposed at a position below the liquid level detecting unit (first detecting unit) 3.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】 乳の液面、更には乳量を正確に検出するとともに、乳量計における多機能性及び発展性を高める。【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と、少なくとも液面検出部3が液面Muを検出したなら弁機構部4を開閉制御する制御系5を備える乳量計1を構成するに際して、液面検出部(第一検出部)3よりも下方の位置に、計量容器部2の内部に貯留される乳Mの少なくとも電気伝導度を検出可能な電極6p,6qを用いた第二検出部6を配設する。【選択図】 図1
