Its working principle is that when a heavy object passes through the upper pressure head or is directly placed on the upper pressure head, the elastic body under the upper pressure head is deformed, and the resistance value of the strain gauge set in the strain hole of the elastic body changes accordingly, and outputs a corresponding electrical signal when the resistance value changes. Finally, it is collected by the instrument and converted into intuitively identifiable weight information of the weighing object.

[0003] Existing weighing sensor modules, such as Figure 1 As shown, the elastomer is inserted between the connecting member and the baffle, and the pressure plate is arranged on the connecting member. In this structure, the elastomer is inserted between the connecting member and the baffle. When there is a heavy object on the upper pressure plate, the elastomer is squeezed and deformed under the action of the connecting member and the baffle. However, when the connecting member and the baffle squeeze the elastic member, the contact area with the elastomer is large, so that the measurement sensitivity is reduced, thereby affecting the weighing accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a high-precision weighing module. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solution of the present invention is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the utility model provides a high-precision weighing module, including a lower pressing plate 1, an upper pressing plate 2 and a sensor assembly 3, wherein a leveling mechanism 6 is provided at the bottom of the lower pressing plate 1, and the sensor assembly 3 is arranged between the lower pressing plate 1 and the upper pressing plate 2, and the sensor assembly 3 includes an elastic body 301, a bearing hole 302 and a mounting hole 303, wherein the bearing hole 302 is arranged in the middle of the elastic body 301, and there are two mounting holes 303, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the elastic body 301, and the upper pressing plate 2 is installed on the top of the elastic body 301 through a connecting piece 4, and the connecting piece 4 is provided on the upper pressing plate 2. The connecting member 4 includes two connecting plates 401 arranged in parallel at the bottom of the upper pressure plate 2, and the connecting plates 401 are connected to the elastic body 301 through a load-bearing shaft passing through the load-bearing hole. Both ends of the top of the lower pressure plate 1 are provided with a U-shaped support frame 5, and both ends of the elastic body 301 are respectively connected to the support frame 5 through a pin shaft 305 passing through the mounting hole 303. The cross-section of the part of the load-bearing shaft 304 inserted into the load-bearing hole 302 is a fan-shaped structure with the center of the circle facing downward, and the cross-section of the part of the pin shaft 305 inserted into the mounting hole 303 is a fan-shaped structure with the center of the circle facing upward.

[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, the weighing module of the utility model is a double shear beam structure. When weighing, the output signal of the weighing module with the double shear beam structure has the characteristic of high precision, so the accuracy of the weighing result can be ensured; the elastic body 301 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the two ends of the elastic body 301 are fixed to the support frame 5 through the installation shaft 305. There is a certain gap between the two side surfaces of the end of the elastic body 301 and the support frame 5, and between the two side surfaces of the middle part of the elastic body 301 and the connecting plate 401, which can avoid affecting the force of the elastic body 301. One end of the two connecting plates 401 is fixed to the bottom of the upper pressing plate 2. The load-bearing shaft 304 installs the upper pressure plate 2 on the top of the elastomer 301, and the load-bearing shaft 302 is limited between the two connecting plates 401. When the upper pressure plate 2 moves downward, the load-bearing shaft 304 can press the elastomer 301 downward with the connecting plate 401, that is, the load-bearing shaft 304 presses the bottom of the load-bearing hole 302. At the same time, the mounting hole 303 moves downward with the elastomer 301 and conflicts with the pin shaft 305. The load-bearing shaft 304 forms a double shear on the elastomer 301. Compared with the prior art, there is no baffle at the bottom of the connecting plate 401, so there is no friction between the baffle and the elastomer 301, which improves the weighing accuracy of the elastomer 301.

[0019] The cross section of the portion of the bearing shaft 304 inserted into the bearing hole 302 is a fan-shaped structure with the center of the circle facing downward, and the cross section of the portion of the pin shaft 305 inserted into the mounting hole 303 is a fan-shaped structure with the center of the circle facing upward.

[0020] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the bearing shaft 304 and the pin shaft 305 of the fan-shaped structure are respectively in the bearing hole 302 and the mounting hole 303. The bearing shaft 304 and the bearing hole 302 are in point contact, and the pin shaft 305 and the mounting hole 303 are also in point contact, so the weighing accuracy can be further improved.

[0021] The top of the support frame 5 is provided with a protective plate 7, the protective plate 7 is connected to the upper pressure plate 2 through a limiting rod 8, the bottom of the limiting rod 8 is connected to the lower pressure plate 1, the top of the limiting rod 8 is connected to the upper pressure plate 2, and a circular hole is opened on the upper pressure plate 2 for the upper end of the limiting rod 8 to pass through. The top of the limiting rod 8 passes through the circular hole of the upper pressure plate 2 through a clearance fit and is fixed by a first locking nut 9. A second locking nut 10 is connected to the limiting rod 8 and is located below the upper pressure plate 2.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, in the present embodiment, there is a certain gap between the top of the elastic body 301 and the bottom of the upper pressure plate 2. When the upper pressure plate 2 is subjected to uneven force, the upper pressure plate 2 tilts. Since the limiting rod 8 and the circular hole on the upper pressure plate 2 are connected with a gap, the bottom of the upper pressure plate 2 does not contact the top of the elastic body 301 when it tilts, which neither affects the force on the sensor nor plays a limiting role. When the upper pressure plate 2 is overloaded with a heavy object, the elastomer 301 can be protected from overload by the second locking nut 10.

[0023] The leveling mechanism 6 includes a bottom plate 601 , which is connected to the lower pressing plate 1 via limiting screws 602 . Limiting nuts 603 are connected to the limiting screws 602 and to the upper and lower ends of the lower pressing plate 1 .

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, if the installation ground is uneven, the utility model can ensure the balance of the weighing module by adjusting the position of the limit nut 603.

[0025] A plurality of fixing holes 11 are provided on the lower pressing plate 1 and the upper pressing plate 2 .

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixing holes 11 on the lower pressing plate 1 are used to connect the lower pressing plate 1 to a fixing member, such as the ground, and the fixing holes 11 on the upper pressing plate 2 are used to connect to the bottom of a load-bearing member, such as a mixer support leg.

[0027] Principle of use: When the weighing module of the utility model is weighing, the upper pressure plate 2 drives the connecting piece 4 and the bearing shaft 304 to press down at the same time, and the bearing shaft 304 presses down the elastic body 301 in the bearing hole 302, and then transmits the gravity of the heavy object to the elastic body 301 through the bearing shaft 304. Based on the double shear beam structure, the elastic body 301 is deformed by the shear force of the bearing shaft 304 and the mounting shafts 305 at both ends. Under the action of the shear force, shear stress is generated inside the elastic body 301. Under the action of the tensile stress and compressive stress caused by the shear stress, the strain gauge resistance of the strain gauge of the elastic body 301 changes, and outputs the corresponding electrical signal, which is finally collected by the instrument and converted into the weight information of the weighing object that can be intuitively identified.

[0028] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
