  • Milk meter for measuring a flow rate of a milk flow
    Patent number: 11350604
    Abstract: A milk meter for measuring a flow rate of milk, having an inlet, an outlet, and a liquid flow path from the inlet to the outlet, the milk meter has a stabilization chamber in the liquid flow path and a float in the stabilization chamber configured to float on the milk, wherein the milk meter is configured so the level of milk in the stabilization chamber depends on the flow rate of the milk flow, the milk meter also has a magnetic unit for generating a magnetic field in the stabilization chamber, which varies in a height direction of the stabilization chamber, the float contains an electronic measuring unit for measuring the strength of the magnetic field, which is a measure of the height within the stabilization chamber of the float and the strength of the magnetic field measures the flow rate of the milk.
