[0020] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic loading mechanism for small weights, including a transparent barrel 1, a barrel cover 2, a comparator 3, a support column 4 and a bearing plate 10. The comparator 3 is placed on the bottom wall of the transparent barrel 1, and a limiting cylinder 7 is fixed to the top wall of the comparator 3. The support column 4 is placed on the comparator 3, and the bottom of the support column 4 is located in the limiting cylinder 7. A plurality of supporting columns 5 are connected to the support column 4, and the plurality of supporting columns 5 are distributed around the circumference of the support column 4.

[0023] The top wall of the transparent barrel 1 is provided with a first annular groove, in which an annular slider 8 is slidably arranged. The inner circumferential wall of the transparent barrel 1 is provided with a second annular groove 9, in which a sliding block is slidably arranged. The sliding block is connected to the annular slider 8, and the supporting plate 10 is connected to the sliding block. The bottom wall of the supporting plate 10 is provided with a first cylinder 11, and the output shaft of the first cylinder 11 is connected to the second cylinder 12. The first cylinder 11 can drive the second cylinder 12 to move up and down, and the output shaft of the second cylinder 12 is connected to the moving plate 13. The second cylinder 1 2 can drive the moving plate 13 to move inward and outward. The inner wall of the moving plate 13 is provided with two placement columns 14. The placement columns 14 are provided with multiple arc-shaped grooves 18. The multiple arc-shaped grooves 18 are distributed in the inward and outward directions. The inner wall of the supporting plate 10 is provided with a blind hole. The third cylinder 15 is disposed in the blind hole. The output shaft of the third cylinder 15 is connected to the fourth cylinder 16. The third cylinder 15 can drive the fourth cylinder 16 to move inward and outward. The output shaft of the fourth cylinder 16 is connected to the toggle plate 17. The fourth cylinder 16 can drive the toggle plate 17 to move up and down.

[0024] The barrel cover 2 can be placed on the top wall of the transparent barrel 1 , and the barrel cover 2 completely covers the inner cavity of the transparent barrel 1 . The barrel cover 2 is located on the inner side of the annular slider 8 .

[0025] In this embodiment, the inner side of the supporting plate 10 and the moving plate 13 is the side closer to the axis of the transparent barrel 1 .

[0026] In this embodiment, the annular slider 8 is connected to the first annular groove in a sliding and sealing manner.

[0027] In this embodiment, a first battery is provided on the carrier plate 10 , and the first battery supplies power to the first cylinder 11 , the second cylinder 12 , the third cylinder 15 and the fourth cylinder 16 .

[0028] In this embodiment, a limiting groove 6 is provided on the top wall of the supporting column 5 .

[0029] Due to their structural or size limitations, miniature square weights cannot be stacked together. During the calibration process, these weights cannot be added sequentially and must be manually verified individually, resulting in extremely low efficiency when loading and verifying miniature square weights. The calibration of miniature weights requires high precision, and current calibration methods directly place the miniature weights on the comparator 3. Airflow from the operator's breathing and movement, as well as natural wind in the air, can also affect the accuracy of the test, resulting in insufficient accuracy for the tiny weights.

[0030] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the relevant components on the transparent barrel 1, the barrel cover 2, the comparator 3, the support column 4 and the carrying plate 10, a first annular groove is provided on the top wall of the transparent barrel 1, an annular slider 8 is slidably provided on the first annular groove, and a second annular groove 9 is provided on the inner circumferential wall of the transparent barrel 1, a sliding block is slidably provided in the second annular groove 9, and the sliding block is connected to the annular slider 8. In this way, the annular slider 8 is moved from the outside to drive the sliding block to make a circular motion in the transparent barrel 1. The carrying plate 10 is connected to the sliding block. The first cylinder 11, the second cylinder 12, the third cylinder 15, the fourth cylinder 16 and the first battery are provided on the carrying plate 10. The first battery is the first cylinder 11, the second cylinder 12, the third cylinder 15 and the fourth cylinder The cylinder 16 is powered by electricity. As long as the annular slider 8 is moved, these components can be driven to move accordingly. At the same time, it is only necessary to set the control buttons of the first cylinder 11, the second cylinder 12, the third cylinder 15 and the fourth cylinder 16 on the top of the annular slider 8, and set a wire channel in the annular slider 8 and the sliding block. The wires for controlling the first cylinder 11, the second cylinder 12, the third cylinder 15 and the fourth cylinder 16 are connected to the control button at one end through the wire channel, and connected to the first cylinder 11, the second cylinder 12, the third cylinder 15 and the fourth cylinder 16 at the other end. In this way, the movement of the first cylinder 11, the second cylinder 12, the third cylinder 15 and the fourth cylinder 16 can be controlled from the outside without causing disorder in the wire lines.

[0031] The moving plate 13 is connected to the output shaft of the second cylinder 12. The moving plate 13 is provided with two placement columns 14. The placement columns 14 are provided with multiple arc grooves 18. When in use, first hang multiple square weights on the multiple arc grooves 18, and then make the barrel cover 2 cover the inner cavity of the transparent barrel 1 to form a closed space. When adding square weights to the bearing column 5, first make the moving plate 13 move inward, and the placement column 14 also moves inward. The height of the bearing column 5 is located between the top wall and the bottom wall of the square weight hanging hole. At this time, the inner end of the placement column 14 is located just above the limit slot 6. At this time Then, the third cylinder 15 and the fourth cylinder 16 cooperate to drive the toggle plate 17 to move until the inner wall of the toggle plate 17 contacts the outer wall of the outermost square weight. At this time, the toggle plate 17 moves inward to push the square weight to move inward, and the supporting column 5 passes through the hanging hole of the square weight until the square weight falls on the supporting column 5, thereby realizing the addition of the square weight on the supporting column 5. After the weight on each supporting column 5 is added, the moving plate 13 moves to the corresponding position, and the above operation is repeated to realize the addition of the square weight. After the calibration is completed, the barrel cover 2 is opened and the square weight is removed.

[0032] In this way, multiple square weights can be added in sequence in a sealed environment to prevent external airflow from affecting the detection accuracy. At the same time, square weights can be continuously added in a closed ring without adding a barrel cover 2 that is opened once, thereby improving the verification accuracy and verification efficiency of the square weights.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] This embodiment is further defined on the basis of embodiment 1. In this embodiment, a receiving hole 19 is provided on the top wall of the support column 4. The barrel cover 2 includes a top plate and a top tube. The top tube is connected to the bottom wall of the top plate. The top tube can be placed on the top wall of the transparent barrel 1. A discharge pipe 20 is fixed in the top tube 1. The discharge pipe 20 is coaxially arranged with the receiving hole 19. A placement box 21 is fixed in the top tube. The top and right ends of the placement box 21 are open. A fifth cylinder 22 is provided on the inner left wall of the placement box 21. A push plate 25 is connected to the output shaft of the fifth cylinder 22. The push plate 25 can push the weight placed in the placement box 21 into the discharge pipe 20 and enter the receiving hole 19 through the discharge pipe 20.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the top plate is provided with a sixth cylinder 23. A blocking plate 24 is connected to the output shaft of the sixth cylinder 23. The sixth cylinder 23 can drive the blocking plate 24 to move up and down, thereby sealing the right end of the storage box 21. In this embodiment, the receiving hole 19 is divided into an upper section and a lower section. The bottom end of the upper section is connected to the lower section, and the diameter of the upper section gradually decreases from top to bottom. In this embodiment, the top wall of the transparent barrel 1 is provided with multiple positioning holes. The bottom wall of the top tube is provided with positioning posts that can enter the positioning holes, and the positioning posts correspond one-to-one with the positioning holes.

[0036] For miniature cylindrical weights without hanging holes, the current calibration is that the staff places the miniature cylindrical weights on the comparator 3 and calibrates them one by one, which has low calibration efficiency. At the same time, the airflow generated by the staff's breathing and movement, as well as the natural wind in the air, will also affect the calibration accuracy, resulting in insufficient calibration accuracy for the miniature cylindrical weights.

[0037] In this embodiment, a receiving hole 19 is opened on the bottom wall of the support column 4, and the barrel cover 2 includes a top plate and a top cylinder. A discharge pipe 20 and a placement box 21 are arranged in the top cylinder, and the miniature cylindrical weights are placed in a row in the placement box 21. When adding, the output shaft of the sixth cylinder 23 moves upward to drive the blocking plate 24 to move upward to open the right end of the placement box 21, and then the fifth cylinder 22 starts to drive the push plate 25 to move to push the weight into the discharge pipe 20, and enter the receiving hole 19 through the discharge pipe 20 to realize the addition of the miniature cylindrical weights. By controlling the movement of the fifth cylinder 22, one miniature cylindrical weight is added at a time. In this way, the miniature square weights with hanging holes and the miniature cylindrical weights can be calibrated at the same time, thereby improving the calibration efficiency and accuracy of the miniature weights. After the calibration is completed, the support column 4 is taken out and the miniature cylindrical weights can be poured out from the accommodating hole 19.

[0038] In this embodiment, the control buttons of the fifth cylinder 22 and the sixth cylinder 23 are arranged on the top wall of the top plate. A second battery is arranged on the top plate to supply power to the fifth cylinder 22 and the sixth cylinder 23 .

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein. These modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be included in the scope of the claims and description of the present invention.
