Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of platform scales, in particular to an intelligent Internet of Things platform scale that can be used in an expandable manner. Background Art
[0002] In our daily life, a large amount of garbage is generated every day. If it is not sorted, it will not only occupy scarce land and pollute the environment, but also seriously endanger our health. With the development of the national economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the types and quantities of garbage generated in daily life are also increasing. If it is not sorted, it will not only occupy scarce land and pollute the environment, but also seriously endanger our health. Among them, a large amount of recyclable garbage is renewable and recyclable garbage, such as paper, plastic, etc. However, recyclable garbage is a field with quite high requirements for technology and investment, so it often leads to a situation where the recycling cost is higher than the production cost of the product.
[0003] At present, generally two recycling methods are adopted. The first method is to use intelligent recyclable bins, that is, intelligent recyclable bins are placed at fixed locations in the community, and users can put recyclables in by themselves and obtain corresponding rewards. However, due to the unreasonable capacity design of the intelligent recyclable bins, the bins are easily full, resulting in users making a wasted trip.
[0004] The second method is manual recycling, and platform scales are often used in manual recycling. A platform scale is a commonly used weighing device. The platform scale should have a sensor installation structure for installing a weighing sensor. The weighing sensor is actually a device that converts a mass signal into a measurable electrical signal for output; its working principle is: one end of the sensor is fixed to the lower platform scale body, and the other end is connected to the upper platform scale body and the weighing pan. When the weighing pan is loaded with weight, the sensor generates a downward deformation, and the strain gauge attached to it converts this deformation and displacement into an electrical signal. Platform scales are widely used in all aspects of production. The size of the weighing tabletop of existing platform scales is mostly fixed and is not convenient to adjust according to the size of the weighed object. When the volume of the weighed object is large or the shape of the weighed object is irregular, it is not convenient to weigh it, which affects the use effect. Summary of the Invention
