[0029] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 A dual-range electronic scale shown in the figure includes an electronic scale body 1, the electronic scale body 1 includes a loading tray 2 and a base 3, the base 3 is provided with a first weighing sensor 4 and a second weighing sensor 5 that can weigh items on the loading tray 2, the range maximum value of the second weighing sensor 5 is greater than the range maximum value of the first weighing sensor 4, a limiting structure 6 that can support the first weighing sensor 4 during the deformation process of the first weighing sensor 4 to limit its deformation is provided between the base 3 and the first weighing sensor 4, a display module for displaying the weight of the weighed object is provided on the base 3, and a PCBA control board 7 connected to the display module is also provided on the base 3, and a main control chip that can receive and process signals from the first weighing sensor 4 and the second weighing sensor 5 and can control the display module to display the weight weighed by the first weighing sensor 4 when the calculated weighed weight is less than a preset value, and control the display module to display the weight weighed by the second weighing sensor 5 when the calculated weighed weight is greater than the preset value.

[0031] A first weighing sensor 4 and a second weighing sensor 5 for weighing are provided on the base 3, and a PCBA control board 7 for receiving and processing signals of the first weighing sensor 4 and the second weighing sensor 5. When the PCBA control board 7 calculates that the weighed weight is less than a preset value, the display module displays the weight weighed by the first weighing sensor 4; when the PCBA control board 7 calculates that the weighed weight is greater than the preset value, the display module displays the weight weighed by the second weighing sensor 5, so that dual-range weighing can be achieved through a loading tray 2, with high accuracy when weighing lighter objects, and at the same time, heavier objects can be weighed.

[0032] In one embodiment, the first weighing sensor 4 comprises a single-point weighing sensor, the single-point weighing sensor is provided with a connection fixing end 41 connected to the base 3 and a measuring end 42 connected to the loading tray 2, an avoidance gap 43 is provided between the measuring end 42 and the base 3 to provide space for its deformation, and the limiting structure 6 comprises a support block provided below the measuring end 42 for limiting the deformation amount of the single-point weighing sensor. The support block limits the deformation of the first weighing sensor 4 to be too large, thereby preventing the first weighing sensor 4 from being damaged due to excessive deformation when the weight of the measured object exceeds the safety deformation threshold of the first weighing sensor 4. The single-point weighing sensor described herein can be a single-point balance beam weighing sensor, and of course it can also be other single-point weighing sensors.

[0033] The support block ensures the stability and safety of the measurement system. When the object to be measured is placed on the loading tray 2, its weight will be transferred to the first weighing sensor 4. If the weight of the object exceeds the safety deformation threshold of the first weighing sensor 4, that is, exceeds the maximum deformation range that it can withstand when it is designed, the support block will play a role in offsetting part of the additional pressure, thereby preventing the first weighing sensor 4 from being damaged due to excessive deformation force.

[0034] The support block not only enhances the durability of the entire measuring system, but also greatly improves its reliability in practical applications. Through such a design, even in the face of an unexpectedly heavy object, the measuring system can maintain its structural integrity, avoiding measurement errors or system failures caused by damage to the first weighing sensor 4, and ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results and the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0035] The support block can be integrally formed with the base 3, and can also be connected to the base 3 by other connection methods such as threaded fasteners or glue. The measuring end 42 is connected to the base 3 by threaded fasteners.

[0036] The display module includes a display screen 81 and a backlight panel 82 which is electrically connected to the PCBA control board 7 and can emit lights of different colors according to different weights calculated by the PCBA control board 7. The display screen 81 is responsible for intuitively displaying the weight data of the measured object so that the user can quickly read the measurement results. The backlight panel 82 is electrically connected to the PCBA control board 7 and its function is to emit lights of different colors according to different weight values ​​calculated by the PCBA control board 7.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the light change of the backlight panel 82 has a clear corresponding relationship with the weight of the weighed item. When the PCBA control board 7 calculates that the weighed weight is less than the preset value through the internal circuit and algorithm, the backlight panel 82 will emit a light of color A. This color may represent "lightweight". When the PCBA control board 7 calculates that the weighed weight is greater than the preset value, the backlight panel 82 will switch to a light of color B. Color B may be more eye-catching, to remind the user that the weight of the current weighed item is "heavyweight".

[0038] Through this color-changing design, the user can not only read the specific weight value from the display screen 81, but also intuitively know the range and accuracy of the weighed item through the light color of the backlight panel 82. This design not only improves the user experience, but also enhances the accuracy and reliability of the measurement, making the entire measurement process more convenient and efficient.

[0039] In one embodiment, the number of the second weighing sensors 5 is four, and the second weighing sensors 5 are respectively distributed in the left front, left rear, right front and right rear of the first weighing sensor 4 to surround the first weighing sensor 4. This allows the electronic scale to weigh more stably and reduce weighing errors.

[0040] In one embodiment, the base 3 includes a bottom shell 31, the bottom shell 31 is provided with a receiving cavity 311 with an opening facing upward, the first load cell 4, the second load cell 5 and the PCBA control board 7 are all arranged in the receiving cavity 311, and the bottom shell 31 is provided with a cover 32 for covering the opening of the receiving cavity 311. The second load cell 5 is provided with a measuring support foot 51 extending from the lower part of the bottom shell 31.

[0041] The display module is arranged in the accommodating cavity 311, and the surface cover 32 is provided with an observation window 321 for observing the display module. A transparent protective cover 83 for protecting the display module is also provided at the observation window 321.

[0042] In one embodiment, an upper support frame 91 is connected to the lower part of the loading tray 2, a connecting piece 92 is provided between the measuring end 42 and the upper support frame 91 to connect the two, and a through hole 322 is provided on the surface cover 32 for the measuring end 42 or the connecting piece 92 to pass through. The upper support frame 91 can be connected to the lower part of the loading tray 2 by glue or other connection methods. The connecting piece 92 is a threaded fastener.

[0043] A lower support frame 93 is provided in the accommodating cavity 311, and the lower support frame 93 is connected to the bottom shell 31, and the connecting fixed end 41 is connected to the lower support frame 93. The lower support frame 93 is connected to the bottom shell 31 by threaded fasteners or other connecting methods, and the fixed end 41 is connected to the lower support frame 93 by threaded fasteners or other connecting methods.
