INSTRUMENT FOR CONTROLLING STRUCTURE FORMATION PROCESS IN CHEESE PRODUCTION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01N33/04 G01N11/10 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: instrument comprises the housing, the loading device, the return spring; the beam of uniform bending strength, rectangular in cross-section, with strain gauges; the electric circuit, the sensing element and the loading device. The housing consists of a base and two vertical posts fixed by a traverse. The sensing element is made in the form of a corrugated measuring plate fixed on the measuring lever mounted on an axis fixed in the system of rolling bearings; the upper end of the measuring lever is connected with the beam of uniform bending strength, rectangular in cross-section, with strain gauges, on the upper end of which two antifriction plates are mounted, one of which contacts with the loading device, and the second - with the return spring. The loading device includes the motor-reducer, on the output shaft of which the charging cam is fixed, contacting with the right antifriction plate on the beam of uniform bending strength, rectangular in cross-section.

EFFECT: simplifying the instrument design and increasing the measurement accuracy.
