CA 2165170

A method and apparatus for testing the quality of a fruit by applying a dynamic force to the fruit, detecting the mechanical response of the fruit to the dynamic force via a piezoelectric film transducer supported on a displaceable supporting member such that the film transducer is bent, to induce a strain therein, by the dynamic force and outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the rate of change of the induced strain in the film transducer caused by the dynamic force, and analyzing the electrical signal to indicate the quality of the fruit.

Procédé et appareil pour le contrôle de la qualité d'un fruit (F) par application d'une force dynamique (24) sur le fruit, détection de la réponse mécanique du fruit à la force dynamique au moyen d'un transducteur à couche piézoélectrique (10, 12, 14) soutenu par un support pouvant être déplacé (2) de telle manière que le transducteur à couche soit plié par la force dynamique pour que celle-ci y induise une contrainte, et qu'il produise un signal électrique correspondant à la vitesse de variation de la contrainte induite dans le transducteur à couche occasionnée par la force dynamique, et analyse du signal électrique révélateur de la qualité du fruit.
