DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following are specific implementations of the present invention, and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions of the present invention are further described, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] A cigarette online metering equipment calibration platform, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device comprises a base 1, a container for receiving liquid flowing through the online metering device, a weighing scale 2 for weighing the container and the liquid within, a display 3 for displaying data from the weighing scale 2, standard weights, and a calibration tool. The calibration principle is generally to use the weighing scale 2 to weigh and record the liquid flowing through the online metering device, and then perform a correlation calculation with the accumulated value of the flow meter to determine the metering accuracy of the flow meter.

[0028] The containers come in two sizes, one 20kg and one 30kg, to hold the measuring tools and ensure consistent measurement results. During calibration, the appropriate container is selected based on the measuring range of the device being calibrated. The standard weights include a first weight for calibrating online measuring equipment and a second weight for calibrating weighing scale 2.

[0029] A movable pulley 4 is provided at the bottom of base 1 to allow for its mobility. Calibration instruments such as the container, weighing scale 2, display 3, standard weights, and calibration tools are housed on base 1, allowing for easy movement to any in-line measurement equipment for calibration. The movable pulley 4 can be a universal wheel with a brake, making it easy to move base 1 even in confined areas. The brake stabilizes base 1, ensuring it does not shake during measurement and ensuring smooth measurement.

[0030] In this application, the storage of these calibration instruments on the base 1 is designed, specifically: Figure 1 The base 1 includes a rectangular bottom plate with the aforementioned movable pulleys 4 disposed at the four corners of the bottom surface to allow the bottom plate to move. Two long rods and two short rods are vertically disposed at the four corners of the top surface of the bottom plate, and a long rod is vertically disposed at the two long side edges of the top surface of the bottom plate. The bottom plate, long rods, and short rods can all be made of 2mm thick stainless steel, which has a strong load capacity and high corrosion resistance. The surface is polished for a beautiful and pleasant appearance. At the same time, when the base 1 is formed, it is preferred to polish the welding and cutting parts to ensure safe operation and prevent puncture and cut injuries.

[0031] Two long rods and two short rods on the long side edges form a lower frame. A second top plate is located between the middle of the two long rods and the ends of the two short rods, forming a recess 12 in the base 1. A weighing scale 2 is placed in this recess 12. The second top plate is also made of 2mm thick stainless steel, providing sufficient load capacity to prevent deformation from affecting measurement results. It is also corrosion-resistant and will not corrode even if acids and alkalis drip onto it. In some embodiments, to prevent the weighing scale 2 from moving around and affecting the weighing results, the surface of the recess 12 can be treated with an anti-slip treatment, or a retaining groove 121 can be provided in the recess 12, within which the weighing scale 2 is positioned. During use, the operator must place the container on the weighing scale 2 and move the base 1 to the online metering equipment so that the container receives the liquid. Therefore, in this embodiment, the height of the recess 12 is controlled by controlling the length of the short rods. The recess 12 is approximately 0.6-0.8m above the ground, making it easier for the operator to handle the container.

[0032] The space between the recess 12 and the bottom plate forms a third receiving portion 1c for receiving adjustment tools. In some embodiments, the four sides between the recess 12 and the bottom plate are sealed with plates, and at least one plate is controlled to be openable and closable to seal and protect the adjustment tools. The method of setting the openable and closable plates is not limited, for example, Figure 1 As shown, the right end of the openable and closable panel is hinged to the short rod, the left end is in contact with the long rod, and the upper and lower ends are in contact with the recess 12 and the bottom plate respectively; in addition, an embedded handle is provided on the panel to facilitate opening and closing by the operator.

[0033] Four long poles form a higher frame, and a first top plate is set between the top ends of the four long poles to form a convex part 11 of the base 1. The display 3 is set on the convex part 11. At the same time, the length of the long poles is controlled to control the height of the horizontal plane where the convex part 11 is located. The distance of the convex part 11 relative to the ground is approximately 0.9~1.3m, which is convenient for the operator to keep his back upright to observe the display 3.

[0034] The space between the convex portion 11 and the bottom plate also forms a storage portion. Since the convex portion 11 is higher, the storage portion has a larger space and needs to accommodate more types of calibration instruments. Figure 1 As shown, at least one partition is provided between the convex portion 11 and the bottom plate, dividing the larger storage portion from top to bottom into multiple storage areas, and the partition is fixed by welding with four long rods. In this embodiment, two partitions are provided, which are arranged from top to bottom as the second storage portion 1b, the fourth storage portion, and the first storage portion 1a. Since the container is heavy, the container is stored in the first storage portion 1a at the bottom and placed on the bottom plate. Since the standard weights cannot be touched directly by hand during use and need to be picked up with tweezers or clamps, which is inconvenient to pick up, the standard weights are stored in the second storage portion 1b at the top. In some embodiments, the upper partition of the two partitions should not be set too low. It is preferred to control the horizontal plane of the partition to be no lower than the horizontal plane of the recess 12, so that the height of the second storage portion 1b is similar to that of the recess 12, making it easier for the operator to access the standard weights. Similarly, in some embodiments, the side surface between the protrusion 11 and the bottom plate can be closed by a plate, and at least one plate can be controlled to be in an openable and closable state to seal and protect the container and the standard weight.

[0035] Based on the arrangement of the bottom plate, the vertically arranged long rods and the short rods, the base 1 forms a three-dimensional structure with flat side surfaces except the top surface, which facilitates the storage of the base 1.

[0036] In addition, in order to facilitate the movement of the base 1, a handle is provided on the base 1 so as not to affect the regularity of the base 1 appearance. Figure 1 As shown, the convex portion 11 of the base 1 is connected to the left side by a concave arc surface 13. A handle mounting cavity is formed between the concave arc surface 13 and the front and rear sides of the base 1. The handle mounting cavity is provided with a handle 7. This arrangement hides the handle 7 inside the base 1, avoiding the handle protruding and increasing the storage space required for the base 1.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] This embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, except that:

[0039] like Figure 2As shown, it also includes a closing cover 5 for covering the weighing scale 2 to protect the weighing scale 2 when no adjustment is required; at the same time, a cover plate 6 that can cover the protrusion 11 can be connected to the closing cover 5, and the cover plate 6 is provided with a groove 61 for accommodating the display 3, so that when the closing cover 5 is closed to protect the weighing scale 2, it can also drive the cover plate 6 to cover the display 3.

[0040] In some embodiments, the size of the cover 5 can be controlled so that when the cover 5 covers the weighing scale 2, the top of the cover 5 is flush with the protrusion 11. At this time, the base 1 and the cover 5 form a regular cubic structure, which further facilitates the storage of the base 1.

[0041] The arrangement of the closing cover 5 is not limited. The closing cover 5 can be a fully movable cover. When the weighing scale 2 needs to be protected, it can be directly placed on the recess 12. When the weighing scale 2 needs to be used, it can be directly removed. At this time, the closing cover 5 can be stored in the fourth storage portion to avoid loss. In some embodiments, when only a partition is provided between the protrusion 11 and the bottom plate and the fourth storage portion is not formed, in order to avoid the loss of the closing cover 5, the closing cover 5 can be hinged to the base 1. Figure 2 As shown, the right end of the closing cover 5 is hinged to the right side edge of the recess 12 , and the other end of the closing cover 5 abuts against the other side edges of the recess 12 when closed.

[0042] In the embodiment where the closure lid 5 is hinged, the recess 12 is provided with a stopper 122 for limiting the rotation angle of the closure lid 5. After the closure lid 5 rotates 90°, it abuts against the stopper 122, preventing further rotation. A container-limiting cavity is formed between the closure lid 5 and the connecting surface 14 between the protrusion 11 and the recess 12. This cavity serves to position the container used during weighing, preventing the container from moving due to the impact of the liquid during weighing, which could affect the weighing results.

[0043] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications, additions, or substitutions to the described specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
