DEVICE FOR RESEARCH OF PHYSICAL-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF TUBEROUS ROOTS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01N19/02 G01N3/56 G01N33/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: device for research of physical-mechanical properties of tuberous roots comprises a frame (1) with an electric motor (2) attached to it, on a shaft of which a removable disc (3) is mounted with the surface under study, and the guide (4) on which a movable trolley (5) is mounted. The movable trolley (5) is connected on one side to the screw mechanism (7) through the spring (6), and on the other side to a load (8) through the block (9). The device is provided with a frequency converter (13) which enables to adjust smoothly the speed of rotation of the removable disc (3), and also a screw mechanism (15) with a guide by which the gap between the trolley (5) and the removable disc (3) is implemented.

EFFECT: increase in the accuracy of the results of research on friction process of rest and movement of tuberous roots on different surfaces.
