The positioning surface is a tubular support The wall 42 is a horizontal annular surface arranged radially, and the bottom wall 41 of the force guiding member is crimped and arranged on the top end of the holder 34.
[0058] In this embodiment, the top end of the tubular support wall 42 serves as the guiding force support portion 40, and the bottom wall of the load board serves as the guiding force crimping portion 10.
[0059] In this embodiment, each first-precision weighing assembly 2 is arranged in a cavity of a corresponding force guide 4, and its specific structure is as follows: including an elastic support 21, a first-precision load cell 22, and a center limiting hole 241 elastic cover 24; the elastic support includes a threaded spring 211, an upper support 212 arranged at the top end of the thread spring, a lower support 213 arranged at the bottom end of the thread spring, the thread spring and the upper support and the lower support respectively pass Connected by fastening screws; the outer peripheral edge of the elastic cover is crimped and fixed on the positioning surface of the force guide, the lower support 213 is arranged in the center limit hole 241 of the elastic cover, and the upper support is glued and fixed to the load On the bottom wall of the board. The specific structure and technical effects of the elastic cover 24 are similar to the above-mentioned reed cover 35, and also include an inner ring, an outer ring, and a plurality of spiral arms connecting the inner ring and the outer ring. The center limiting hole 241 is provided on the inner ring. The function is to locate the lower support member located in the center limit hole, so that the lower support member can transmit its own pressure vertically downward, and also to prevent the lower support member from directly transmitting its own pressure to the force guide through the elastic cover Since the structure and technical effects of the tubular support wall are already well known to those skilled in the art, it will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0060] The first-precision load cell 22 is arranged in the clamping groove of the bottom wall 41 of the force guide member, and the bottom wall of the lower support member is crimped on the first-precision load cell.
[0061] In this embodiment, see Figure 7 with Figure 8 As shown, the first-precision load cell 22 is a commonly used weighing module for kitchens, with a range of 0 to 20 kilograms and a division value of 1 gram; the first-precision load cell includes a first fixing part 221, a first The force-bearing deformation part 222 and the first resistance strain gauge 223. The first fixing part of the first precision load cell is clamped and fixed in the clamp groove of the bottom wall 41 of the force guide member, and the lower support member of the elastic support member is pressed against the first force-bearing deformation part.
[0062] In this embodiment, see Picture 9 with Picture 10 As shown, the second-precision load cell 31 is a commonly used human body weight weighing sensor, and its range is 5 kg to 180 kg, and the graduation value (also called accuracy) is 100 g; the second-precision load cell 31 includes The second fixing portion 311, the second force-bearing deformation portion 312 and the second resistance strain gauge 313. The second fixing portion 311 of the second precision load cell is clamped and fixed in the clamping slot of the clamping base 34, and the supporting block 321 is abutted on the second force-bearing deformation portion 312.
[0063] In this embodiment, the first-precision load cell and the second-precision load cell used can be force sensors that are widely circulated and relatively inexpensive on the market, thereby effectively reducing manufacturing costs.
[0064] In the free state, that is, when no load-bearing object is placed on the load board, the top end of the upper support member in the elastic support is higher than the top end of the tubular support wall 42 in the guide member, so that the bottom wall 10 of the load board is higher than the guide member. The top of the force piece. When the load-bearing object is placed on the load board and the load weight is less than 20 kg, by selecting the appropriate threaded spring, the bottom wall of the load board can always be higher than the guiding part during the downward movement of the load board. And within the elastic deformation range of the threaded spring. The load board transfers all the pressure of the load-bearing object to the first precision load cell through the elastic support, and then to the second precision load cell. At this time, the first precision can be displayed on the display screen by adjusting the switch or the intelligent control circuit The weight value of the weighing component is ignored, and the weighing value of the second-precision weighing component is ignored. The weighing accuracy in this process can reach 1 gram, so this embodiment can be used as a kitchen electronic scale.
[0065] When the weight of the loaded object exceeds 20 kg, the load board will move down until it is crimped on the guiding member. Specifically, the bottom wall of the load board serving as the guiding crimping portion 10 is simultaneously crimped on the guiding supporting portion 40 on the top end of the tubular support wall 42 and on the upper support in the first precision weighing assembly. Its working principle is: the load plate transmits part of the pressure of the load-bearing object to the first precision load cell through the elastic support, and then to the second-precision load cell; at the same time, the load board also passes the remaining pressure of the load The force guiding member is directly transmitted to the second-precision load cell. Since the deformation of the elastic support member will not increase during this process, the partial pressure transmitted to the first-precision load cell through the elastic support member will not increase any more. Large, by selecting an appropriate thread spring, this part of the pressure will not exceed the elastic deformation bearing range of the first precision load cell, that is, the first precision load cell will not be damaged. At this time, by adjusting the switch or intelligent control circuit, the display can display the weight value of the second-precision weighing component, ignoring the weighing value of the first-precision weighing component. The weighing accuracy in this process can reach 100 grams. Therefore, this embodiment can also be used as a weight electronic scale.

Example Embodiment

[0066] (Embodiment 2): This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, the difference is: see Figure 11 to Figure 13 As shown, the force guide member 4 in this embodiment and the holder 34 in the second precision weighing assembly are integrally made by injection molding. Compared with Embodiment 1, the force guide member in this embodiment is no longer separate The bottom wall 41 is provided, but the top wall of the holder 34 is directly used as the bottom wall 41 of the force guiding member in the first embodiment.
[0067] In addition, the specific structure of the first-accuracy weighing assembly in this embodiment is as follows: it includes a mounting seat 27 provided with a card slot and an accommodating cavity, and an opening that covers the bottom of the accommodating cavity in the mounting seat and has a central through hole. The elastic cover 28, the first precision load cell 22 located in the accommodating cavity and clamped in the slot, and the elastic support 21. The top end of the mounting seat 27 is glued and fixed on the bottom wall of the carrying board; the elastic support 21 includes a threaded spring 211, an upper support 212 and a lower support 213. The upper part of the upper support is arranged in the central through hole of the elastic cover, It is connected to the first-precision load cell, and the lower support is crimped and arranged on the holder 34 in the second-precision weighing assembly. In the free state, the top end of the first-accuracy weighing assembly 2 is higher than the guiding force supporting portion 40 of the guiding member. In this embodiment, the first fixing portion 2221 of the first-precision weighing assembly is clamped in the slot of the seating base, and the first force-bearing deformation portion 222 is crimped on the top end of the upper support 212. The specific structure and technical effects of the elastic cover 28 are similar to the elastic cover 24 in the first embodiment, and also include an inner ring, an outer ring, and a plurality of spiral arms connecting the inner ring and the outer ring. The central through hole is provided in the inner ring. The function of the upper support is to locate the upper support in the center limit hole, so that the upper support can transmit its own pressure vertically downwards, and also to prevent the mounting seat from directly transmitting the pressure to the upper support through the spring cover Since its structure and technical effects are already well known to those skilled in the art, this embodiment will not describe them in detail.
[0068] The working principle of this embodiment is: when the pressure of the load on the load board is less than the maximum range of the first-precision load cell, the guide crimping portion 10 of the load board is always higher than the guide support of the guide member Section 40, the load board first transmits all the pressure of the loaded object to the first-precision load cell, and then transmits it to the second-precision load cell through the elastic support. At this time, the display screen can be made by adjusting the switch or the intelligent control circuit. The weight value of the first-precision weighing component is displayed, and the weighing value of the second-precision weighing component is ignored. The weighing accuracy in this process can reach 1 gram, so this embodiment can be used as a kitchen electronic scale. When the pressure of the load on the load board is greater than the maximum range of the first precision load cell, the guiding crimping portion 10 of the loading board is simultaneously crimped on the guiding force supporting portion 40 of the guiding member and the first precision scale The load plate transmits part of the pressure of the load-bearing object to the elastic support through the first precision load cell, and then to the second-precision load cell; at the same time, the load plate also transfers the remaining pressure of the load-bearing object through the guide The force piece is directly transmitted to the second-precision load cell. Since the deformation of the elastic support will not increase during this process, the pressure exerted by the load plate on the first-precision sensor will not increase any more. The threaded spring can make this part of the pressure not exceed the elastic deformation bearing range of the first precision load cell, that is, it will not damage the first precision load cell. At this time, by adjusting the switch or intelligent control circuit, the display can display the weight value of the second-precision weighing component, ignoring the weighing value of the first-precision weighing component. The weighing accuracy in this process can reach 100 grams. Therefore, this embodiment can also be used as a weight electronic scale.
[0069] Through the comparison between this embodiment and the first embodiment, it can be proved that the position of the elastic support member can be diversified and does not need to be limited to a specific position.

[0075] The working principle of this embodiment is: when the pressure of the load on the load board is less than the maximum range of the first-precision load cell, the guide crimping portion 10 of the load board is always higher than the guide support of the guide member In section 40, the load board first transmits all the pressure of the load-bearing object to the elastic support, and then transmits it to the second-precision load cell through the first-precision load cell. At this time, this embodiment can be used as a kitchen electronic scale.
[0076] When the pressure of the load on the load board is greater than the maximum range of the first precision load cell, the guiding crimping portion 10 of the loading board is simultaneously crimped on the guiding force supporting portion 40 of the guiding member and the first precision scale The load plate transmits part of the pressure of the load-bearing object to the first-precision load cell through the elastic support, and then to the second-precision load cell; at the same time, the load plate also transfers the remaining pressure of the load-bearing object through the guide The force piece is directly transmitted to the second precision force sensor, and this embodiment can also be used as a weight electronic scale.
