CA 2200396

Force measuring apparatus of the optical sensor type includes a measuring platform to which a force to be measured is applied, a base and a polarimeter type optical sensor for measuring stresses including an optical fiber disposed between the platform and the base. It includes two elastic material disks separated by a spacer and a clamping arrangement for prestressing the optical fiber. In a preferred embodiment additional turns are provided to reduce eccentricity defects. The manufacturing method entails removal of the protective jacket from the optical fiber in the areas of contact with the disks. Applications include bathroom scales.

L'invention est un dispositif de mesure de forces du type à capteur optique qui comprend une plate-forme de mesure à laquelle la force à mesurer est appliquée, un socle et un capteur optique du type à polarimètre qui sert à mesurer les tensions au moyen d'une fibre optique placée entre la plate-forme et le socle. Le dispositif est doté de deux disques faits de matériaux élastiques qui sont séparés par une cale, et d'un dispositif de fixation servant à soumettre la fibre optique à une prétension. Dans une concrétisation privilégiée de l'invention, des spires additionnelles réduisent les imperfections d'excentricité. La gaine de protection doit être enlevée de la fibre optique dans les zones de contact avec les disques au cours de la fabrication. Les pèse-personnes font partie des applications.
