Abstract

A milking unit is proposed, comprising at least one milk hose (5, 30), having a first end section (6, 32) and a second end section (49), and a milk collecting component (7, 37), which is connected to the first end section (6, 32) of the milk hose (5, 30). The milk collecting component (7, 37) has at least one coupling element (1), which cooperates with the first end section (6, 32) of the milk hose (5, 30). A clamping element (9) is provided, which cooperates with the coupling element (1) so that an essentially fluid-tight connection is generated between the milk hose (5, 30) and the milk collecting component (7, 37).
