[0015] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention is described in more detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are provided in the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0016] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0017] An embodiment of a single track scale calibration device of the present invention is as follows: Figures 3 to 8 As shown: it includes a standard trolley 7 for moving left and right along the upper side of the conveying track 5 and the rack track 4. The standard trolley 7 refers to a trolley with a determined and known weight.

[0018] The standard trolley 7 includes a front frame plate 15 and a rear frame plate 16 arranged in parallel front and back, and a transverse hanging plate 8 connected between the front frame plate and the rear frame plate. The front frame plate 15 and the rear frame plate 16 are provided with wheels and driving motors for driving the corresponding wheels to rotate.

[0019] In this embodiment, the wheels include a left wheel set and a right wheel set, the left wheel set includes a first wheel 17 rotatably mounted on the front frame plate and a second wheel 18 rotatably mounted on the rear frame plate, the driving motor includes a first motor 19 drivingly connected to the first wheel 17 and a second motor 20 drivingly connected to the second wheel 18, the first wheel 17 and the second wheel 19 are independently arranged at intervals, so that when the first motor and the second motor rotate at different speeds, the steering movement of the standard trolley can be achieved. The right wheel set includes a third wheel 23 rotatably mounted on the front frame plate and a fourth wheel 24 rotatably mounted on the rear frame plate, and the third wheel 23 and the fourth wheel 24 are arranged at both ends of the same wheel axle.

[0020] The motor housing of the first motor and the motor housing of the second motor are located between the front frame plate and the rear frame plate, the motor housing of the first motor is fixed to the upper side of the transverse hanging plate 8, and the motor housing of the second motor is fixed to the upper side of the transverse hanging plate 8. The motor shaft of the first motor passes through the front side of the front frame plate and is connected to the wheel shaft of the first wheel through the front transmission belt 21; the motor shaft of the second motor passes through the rear side of the rear frame plate and is connected to the wheel shaft of the second wheel through the rear transmission belt 22.

[0021] The track scale calibration device also includes a vertical hanging rod 10 for connecting with the horizontal hanging plate through a hook channel, a weight connecting shaft 11 is arranged on the vertical hanging rod, a weight supporting plate 25 is arranged at the bottom of the weight connecting shaft 11, and a plurality of weights 13 connected to the weight connecting shaft are placed on the weight supporting plate 25. A hanging rod avoidance channel 5 is formed between the first wheel and the second wheel for avoiding the vertical hanging rod when the vertical hanging rod is connected with the horizontal hanging plate. The opposite sides of the first motor 19 and the second motor 20 are used to cooperate with the vertical hanging rod limit to limit the vertical hanging rod from moving forward and backward.

[0022] In this embodiment, a hanging plate matching hook 12 is provided on the right side of the upper end of the vertical hanging rod, which is matched with the horizontal hanging plate. The cross section of the horizontal hanging plate 8 is a square structure, and the hook portion of the hanging plate matching hook 12 is a square groove structure that matches the hanging plate and stops rotation. The motor housing of the first motor and the motor housing of the second motor are used to match the front and rear sides of the hanging plate matching hook to limit the front and rear movement of the hanging plate matching hook.

[0023] A connecting plate 9 located at the lower side of the rack track is fixed to the right side of the vertical hanging rod. The connecting plate 9 is located just below the matching hook of the hanging plate. The weight connecting shaft 11 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 9. The vertical hanging rod 10 and the weight connecting shaft 11 are arranged in parallel. The opening 26 of the weight is facing away from the vertical hanging rod 10. In this way, the weight is not easy to fall off the weight support plate during the movement or braking of the standard trolley. The weight is located just below the horizontal hanging plate, which can help the force stability of the standard trolley.

[0024] The bottom of the vertical hanging rod has a gripping portion 14 located on the lower side of the weight tray for a worker to hold.

[0025] When the factory's monorail scale needs to be calibrated on site, the standard trolley can be placed on the conveying track next to the rack track. For example, in this embodiment, the standard trolley is placed on the conveying track on the right side of the rack track. Before the weight is placed on the weight support plate, the staff can hold the grip at the bottom of the vertical hanging rod, and the hanging plate matching hook at the upper end of the vertical hanging rod passes through the hook channel of the conveying track from bottom to top, and then the hanging plate matching hook passes through the hanging rod avoidance channel between the first wheel and the second wheel, and finally hangs on the horizontal hanging plate between the motor housing of the first motor and the motor housing of the second motor. The setting of the hanging rod avoidance channel helps to reduce the overall length of the standard trolley. The hanging plate matching hook is adapted to the shape of the horizontal hanging plate, so the hanging plate matching hook cannot move left and right relative to the horizontal hanging plate. Due to the limit of the first motor and the second motor, the hanging plate matching hook cannot move forward and backward relative to the horizontal scraper. The first motor and the second motor are installed on the horizontal hanging plate. The first motor and the second motor are located between the front frame plate and the rear frame plate. On the one hand, it is beneficial to reduce the overall width of the standard trolley and avoid interference with the vertical hanger of the monorail scale. On the other hand, the first motor and the second motor can also be used to limit the hanging plate matching hook.

[0026] Before the weights are placed, the vertical hanging rod and the horizontal hanging plate are connected. The vertical scraper is heavy and easy to achieve. Then, according to the calibration needs, a suitable number of weights are placed on the weight support plate, with the open side of the weights facing away from the vertical hanging rod. Then, the first motor and the second motor are used to drive the standard trolley to move from right to left. The standard trolley moves to the bracket track of the monorail scale via the right conveying track, and then moves to the left conveying track. During the movement of the standard trolley via the bracket track, the weighing sensor of the monorail scale has a weighing reading. The weighing reading is compared with the sum of the deadweight of the standard trolley, the deadweight of the vertical hanging rod and the deadweight of the weights to realize the calibration of the weighing sensor.

[0027] The single-track scale calibration device can realize online calibration of the weighing sensor without disassembly, which is very convenient and will not take up a long calibration time to affect the normal production of the factory.

[0028] Implementation of a method for calibrating a single track scale Figures 3 to 8 As shown: the method includes the following steps. In the first step, the standard trolley of the calibration device is placed on the conveying track next to the rack track; in the second step, before the weight is placed on the weight support plate, the staff holds the lower part of the vertical hanging rod, and the hanging plate at the upper end of the vertical hook cooperates with the hook to pass through the hook channel on the conveying track and the hanging rod avoidance channel between the first wheel and the second wheel from bottom to top, and then the hanging plate at the upper end of the vertical hook cooperates with the horizontal hanging plate hook; in the third step, the staff places the weight on the weight support plate, drives the motor to work, and the standard trolley moves from the conveying track to the rack track, and then moves from the rack track to the conveying track on the other side.

[0029] The calibration device in this method is the same as the above-mentioned single track scale calibration device embodiments and will not be described in detail here.

Therefore, unless otherwise clearly defined in this specification, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] According to the above description of this specification, those skilled in the art may also understand that the terms used below, such as "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "length", "width", "thickness", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "clockwise" or "counterclockwise", etc., which indicate the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings of this specification, and are only for the purpose of facilitating the explanation of the scheme of the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than explicitly or implicitly indicating that the device or element involved must have the specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation.
