Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of weighing equipment, in particular to a washable scale. Background Art

[0002] Many types of heavy-duty scales are used for industrial weighing. In some cases, the scale can be a portable scale with casters or similar devices that help move the scale to the point of use, but this mobility usually comes at the cost of raising the weighing surface. In another case, a portable scale uses a fork-shaped load platform similar to a pallet jack. Such a scale may be useful, but only when the target load is already on a pallet. As the mass and volume of the target load increase, both the coverage area and thickness of the required load platform increase. The load platform needs to be arranged in a structure close to the floor, where the structure provides a base for multiple load cells, and the load platform is supported on these load cells. In many such cases, for stability, the structure is mounted to the floor.

[0003] The invention patent with application number 202211157208.5 discloses a platform scale that is easy to clean, but the platform scale of this structure requires a frame and a foot component anchored to the ground. In many use environments, there are no conditions for anchoring. For example, in many clean environments, the ground is required to have a waterproof layer, and anchoring to the ground will damage the waterproof layer structure of the ground, and the frame and anchoring increase the complexity of the structure, correspondingly increasing many sanitary dead corners and not meeting the sanitary condition requirements. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that in many use environments, there are no conditions for anchoring. For example, in many clean environments, the ground is required to have a waterproof layer, and anchoring to the ground will damage the waterproof layer structure of the ground, and the frame and anchoring increase the complexity of the structure, correspondingly increasing many sanitary dead corners and not meeting the sanitary condition requirements, and a washable scale is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a washable scale, including a load platform and a flipping strut, one end of the load platform is fixedly connected with a rotating shaft, both ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected with one end of the inner wall of the flipping strut, a gas spring is rotatably arranged on one side of the flipping strut, the other end of the gas spring is rotatably connected with one side of the load platform, locking mechanisms are arranged on both sides of the load platform, the locking mechanism includes a rotating rod, one end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected with one side of the load platform, the rotating rod is rotatably connected with a blocking rod, a spring pin is arranged on one side of the inner wall of the blocking rod, positioning holes are opened on both sides of the load platform, and the spring pin is aligned with the positioning hole in the locked state.

[0006] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: When the load platform is in the weighing state, it is parallel to the flipping strut. Pushing the stop bar to rotate makes the stop bar located below one side of the outer surface of the flipping strut. When the spring pin is located on one side of the positioning hole on the outer surface of the load platform, it will insert into the inside of the positioning hole to fix the angle between the rotating rod and the load platform and the position on one side of the flipping strut, and fix the angle between the load platform and the flipping strut. When cleaning the scale, by pulling the spring pin on both sides of the load platform out of the inside of the positioning hole, with the assistance of the gas spring, the operator can easily lift the side far from the rotating shaft, making the load platform form a certain angle with the ground, so that the sewage can flow down naturally during flushing and will not accumulate on the load platform. There is no need for a special frame structure, nor to be anchored to the ground, and it can be used for normal weighing and daily cleaning, reducing the sanitary dead corners.

[0007] Preferably, auxiliary rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the load platform respectively, and the auxiliary rods are U-shaped bent rods.

[0008] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: Holding the outer surface of the U-shaped auxiliary rod can more conveniently lift or press down the load platform to adjust the rotation and angle of the load platform.

[0009] Preferably, a pedal is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod, and the outer surface of the pedal is L-shaped.

[0010] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: When restoring the scale in the cleaning state to the weighing state, one can step on one side of the surface of the pedal and then lift the flipping strut to the locking position, reducing the difficulty of operation for the operator.

[0011] Preferably, the locking mechanism further includes two groove blocks, one side of each of the two groove blocks is fixedly connected to both sides of the load platform respectively, and a bolt is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the groove block.

[0012] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: When locking the load platform and the flipping strut, the angle between the load platform and the flipping strut can also be fixed by rotating the bolt on one side of the groove block to move the bolt and insert one end into the positioning hole on the outer surface of the load platform.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] In the present utility model, by arranging the load platform and the flipping strut to be hinged, the angle between the load platform and the flipping strut is locked by the locking mechanism for normal use. After unlocking, the load platform forms a certain angle with the ground, so that the sewage can flow down naturally during flushing and will not accumulate on the load platform. There is no need for a special frame structure, nor to be anchored to the ground, and it can be used for normal weighing and daily cleaning, reducing the sanitary dead corners.

[0023] Example 1, as Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, a flushing scale includes a load platform 1 and a turning strut 4. One end of the load platform 1 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 3. Both ends of the rotating shaft 3 are rotatably connected to one end of the inner wall of the turning strut 4. A gas spring 5 is rotatably arranged on one side of the turning strut 4. The other end of the gas spring 5 is rotatably connected to one side of the load platform 1. Locking mechanisms 2 are arranged on both sides of the load platform 1. The locking mechanism 2 includes a rotating rod 21. One end of the rotating rod 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the load platform 1. A blocking rod 22 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 21. A spring pin 23 is arranged on one side of the blocking rod 22. The spring pin 23 is aligned with a positioning hole 24 in the locked state. Positioning holes 24 are formed on both sides of the load platform 1. When the load platform 1 is in the weighing state, it is parallel to the turning strut 4. When the blocking rod 22 is pushed to rotate so that the blocking rod 22 is located below one side of the outer surface of the turning strut 4 and the spring pin 23 is located on one side of the positioning hole 24 on the outer surface of the load platform 1, it will insert into the inside of the positioning hole 24 to fix the angle between the rotating rod 21 and the load platform 1 and the position on one side of the turning strut 4, and fix the angle between the load platform 1 and the turning strut 4. When cleaning the scale, the spring pins 23 are pulled on both sides of the load platform 1 to disengage from the inside of the positioning holes 24. With the assistance of the gas spring 5, the side far from the rotating shaft 3 can be easily lifted manually, so that the load platform 1 forms a certain angle with the ground, enabling the sewage to flow down naturally during flushing and not accumulating on the load platform 1. There is no need for a special frame structure, nor is it necessary to be anchored to the ground to be used for normal weighing and daily cleaning, reducing the sanitary dead corners.

[0024] Referring to Figures 2-5 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment: Auxiliary rods 6 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the load platform 1. The auxiliary rods 6 are U-shaped bent rods. Holding the outer surface of the U-shaped auxiliary rod 6 can more conveniently lift or lower the load platform 1 to adjust the rotation angle of the load platform 1.

[0025] Referring to Figures 2-5 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment: A pedal 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod 21. The outer surface shape of the pedal 25 is L-shaped. When restoring the scale in the cleaning state to the weighing state, the surface of one side of the pedal 25 can be stepped on with the foot, and then the turning strut 4 can be lifted to the locked position, reducing the difficulty of human operation.

[0026] Embodiment 2, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the locking mechanism 2 further includes two groove blocks 26. One side of the two groove blocks 26 is respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the load platform 1. A bolt 27 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the groove block 26. When locking the load platform 1 and the turning strut 4, the bolt 27 on one side of the groove block 26 can also be rotated to move the bolt 27 so that one end is inserted into the positioning hole 24 on the outer surface of the load platform 1 to fix the angle between the load platform 1 and the turning strut 4.

[0027] Working principle: When using a flushing scale, in the weighing state, the load platform 1 is parallel to the flipping strut 4. When the push rod 22 is rotated to make the push rod 22 located below one side of the outer surface of the flipping strut 4 and the spring pin 23 is located on one side of the positioning hole 24 on the outer surface of the load platform 1, it will insert into the inside of the positioning hole 24 to fix the angle between the rotating rod 21 and the load platform 1 and the position on one side of the flipping strut 4, and fix the angle between the load platform 1 and the flipping strut 4. When cleaning the scale, the spring pin 23 is pulled on both sides of the load platform 1 to disengage from the inside of the positioning hole 24. With the assistance of the gas spring 5, a person can easily lift the side away from the rotating shaft 3 at the auxiliary rods 6 held on both sides of the load platform 1, making the load platform 1 form a certain angle with the ground so that the sewage can flow down naturally during flushing. After cleaning, step on one side of the surface of the pedal 25, and then lift the flipping strut 4 to the locking position. Rotate the push rod 22 to make the push rod 22 located below one side of the outer surface of the flipping strut 4 to fix the angle between the load platform 1 and the flipping strut 4, or rotate the bolt 27 to make the bolt 27 move inside the inner wall of the groove block 26 and insert one end into the inside of the positioning hole 24 to fix the angle between the load platform 1 and the flipping strut 4, and then place the load platform 1 and the flipping strut 4 flat on the ground.
