Device for measuring the size of moving particles, in particular for pluviometric measurements

摘要

The invention concerns a pluviometric device for measuring the diameter of individual raindrops (G) passing through a measuring volume (110), comprising optical transmission means (100), receiving means including at least a sensor receiving at least part of the light derived from at least one transmission means after it has passed through the measuring volume, and processing means (20, 30) which receive the signal at said sensor (120) output and which determine the individual diameter of raindrops. The invention is characterized in that the receiving means include at least two such sensors (124a, 124b) which receive portions of light derived from the transmitting means which are superposed along the general displacement direction of the particles and the processing means (20, 30) operate a correlative processing on the signals at the output of said sensors.
