Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lifting machinery, in particular to a new type pulling sensor for weighing with high precision and high sensitivity, and a garbage grab crane with the new type pulling sensor. Background Art
[0002] As living standards improve, domestic waste is accumulating. To efficiently and environmentally treat domestic waste, the construction of waste-to-energy plants has rapidly expanded in China in recent years. Garbage grab bridge cranes are increasingly being used in waste-to-energy plants. During this process, the production process requires automatic weighing and counting of the waste fed into each incinerator, along with the generation of various reports.
[0003] However, the existing garbage grab bridge crane has a single function and cannot achieve the accurate weighing function of the garbage. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a new type pulling sensor for weighing which has a simple structure, high precision, safety and reliability, and a garbage grab crane with the new type pulling sensor.
[0005] The utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] The utility model provides a novel tension sensor for weighing, comprising a sensor elastic body and a junction box fixed on the sensor elastic body;
[0007] The sensor elastomer includes an integrally formed top connecting part, an intermediate connecting part and a reversing connecting part. The intermediate connecting part is arranged between the top connecting part and the reversing connecting part. The intermediate connecting part is an S-shaped structure. A symmetrical strain area is arranged in the intermediate connecting part. A strain gauge is installed in the strain area. The strain gauge is connected to the junction box.
[0008] In order to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the new pull-type sensor, the top connecting part is a plate-like structure, and a first through hole is provided on the top connecting part that penetrates its wall thickness; the reversing connecting part is a U-shaped structure, and a second through hole is provided on both sides of the reversing connecting part that penetrates its wall thickness, and the axis of the second through hole is perpendicular to the axis of the first through hole.
[0009] In order to enable glue filling in the strain area and ensure its sealing, a third through hole that can communicate with the strain area is opened on the outer wall of the middle connecting part, and a cover plate is provided on the third through hole.
[0010] In order to facilitate the connection between the strain gauge and the junction box, a wiring hole connected to the strain area is opened on the outer wall of the middle connecting part.
[0011] The utility model also provides a garbage grab crane, comprising a balance arm and a grab bucket, wherein the novel pull-type sensor for weighing is arranged between the balance arm and the grab bucket.
[0012] In order to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the new pull-type sensor, the balance arm and the grab bucket, the balance arm and the top connection part of the new pull-type sensor are detachably connected through a first pin shaft, and the grab bucket and the reversing connection part are detachably connected through a second pin shaft.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0014] (1) The sensor elastic body of the utility model is an integrally formed structure consisting of a top connection part, an intermediate connection part, and a reversing connection part, which reduces unreliable factors and increases structural safety and reliability;
[0015] (2) The strain zone is set in the S-shaped structure of the middle connection part, which is equal in length and width to the cross section of the reversing connection part, so that the stress-bearing area of the weakest turning part in the middle of the S-shaped middle connection part is increased, thereby increasing the safety factor of the sensor and making the structure safer and more reliable;
[0016] (3) The pull-type sensor is precise, sensitive and highly accurate, with an accuracy generally around 0.03%;
[0017] (4) Considering that the grab bucket will shake forward, backward, left, and right, the sensor elastic body is flexibly and detachably connected to the grab bucket and the balance arm through a pin shaft, a hexagonal slotted nut, and a cotter pin. The sensor can flexibly respond in the four directions of front, back, left, and right, ensuring that the force applied to the sensor is always consistent with the direction of the wire rope tension. The force applied to the sensor is the effective measured force.
[0018] (5) The sensor can be easily replaced or repaired using simple disassembly tools;
[0019] (6) The structure is changeable and can adapt to various connection methods of grab buckets and balance arms on site, which is highly practical;
[0020] (7) Adding a pull-type sensor between the grab bucket and the balance arm simplifies the structure and ensures that 100% of the lifted weight acts directly on the sensor. The force measurement method is reasonable, making the system's overall accuracy high;
[0021] (8) There is no need to change the structure of the grab bucket due to the installation of the weighing sensor, and the structure is more rational and easy to install. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] Specifically, combined Figure 3-5As shown, the sensor elastomer includes an integrally formed top connecting portion 5, an intermediate connecting portion 6 and a reversing connecting portion 7. The top connecting portion 5 is a plate-like structure. A first through hole 8 is provided on the top connecting portion 5 that penetrates its wall thickness for mounting the first pin 3. The reversing connecting portion 7 is a U-shaped structure. Second through holes 9 are provided on both sides of the reversing connecting portion 7 that penetrate its wall thickness, and the axis of the second through hole 9 is perpendicular to the axis of the first through hole 8. The intermediate connecting portion 6 is arranged between the top connecting portion 5 and the reversing connecting portion 7. The intermediate connecting portion 6 is an S-shaped structure that can produce a slight deformation. A symmetrical strain relief is provided in the intermediate connecting portion 6. The strain zone 11 is provided with a strain gauge, which is electrically connected to the junction box 2. The outer wall of the intermediate connecting portion 6 is provided with a third through hole 10 that can connect to the strain zone 11. A cover plate is provided on the third through hole 10. The axis of the third through hole 10 is parallel to the axis of the first through hole 8. The outer wall of the intermediate connecting portion 6 is provided with a wiring hole 12 that connects to the strain zone 11. The strain gauge is a strain gauge with a full-bridge measurement circuit. After the full-bridge circuit of the sensor is connected, glue is poured into the third through hole 10 and the cover plate is covered. The connection line of the full-bridge measurement circuit passes through the wiring hole 12, and the sensor output line is led out from the junction box 2.
[0033] It should be noted that the top connecting portion 5 and the U-shaped reversing connecting portion 7 can be set in a 90° direction or in the same direction, or the top connecting portion 5 and the reversing connecting portion 7 are both U-shaped structures, and the U-shaped directions of the top connecting portion 5 and the reversing connecting portion 7 can be set in the same direction or in a 90° direction.
[0034] Example 2:
