[0013] The weighing device of the conveying and weighing machine mainly comprises the following key parts:

[0014] The weighing sensor system:

[0015] High-precision weighing sensor: multiple (usually 3 or 4) high-precision strain gauge type weighing sensors are selected. It has the characteristics of high sensitivity, high stability and strong anti-interference ability. The range of the sensor is determined according to the maximum weighing value of the weighing device, generally between [X] kg and [Y] kg, and the accuracy can reach ±[specific accuracy value] (such as ±0.1%). The weighing sensor is symmetrically installed below the weighing platform and connected with the weighing platform through special mounting brackets to ensure that the sensor can accurately sense the weight change of the material. The mounting bracket is made of high-strength alloy steel and is precisely machined to ensure the levelness and perpendicularity of the sensor installation, reducing the weighing error caused by installation error.

[0016] Sensor signal conditioning circuit: This circuit is connected with the weighing sensor and mainly functions to amplify, filter, and analog-to-digital convert the weak electrical signals output by the sensor. The signal conditioning circuit uses high-precision operational amplifiers and low-noise filters to effectively improve the signal-to-noise ratio and ensure the accuracy of the weighing data.

[0017] Weighing platform and material conveying system:

[0018] Weighing platform: made of stainless steel, with good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The surface of the weighing platform is designed with special anti-slip texture to prevent the material from sliding during conveying and affecting the weighing accuracy. The size of the weighing platform is determined according to the maximum conveying width and length of the material, generally with a length of [L1] meters to [L2] meters, a width of [W1] meters to [W2] meters, and a thickness of [H1] meters to [H2] meters.

The conveyor belt is made of high-strength and low-friction coefficient rubber, with certain anti-static performance to prevent the material from being attracted by static electricity during conveying and affecting the weighing accuracy. The width of the conveyor belt matches the weighing platform, generally between [W3] meters and [W4] meters. Rollers are installed at both ends of the weighing platform to support and drive the conveyor belt, with a diameter of [D1] meters to [D2] meters. The surface of the roller is specially treated to increase the friction between the roller and the conveyor belt, ensuring smooth operation of the conveyor belt.

[0020] Data processing and control system:

[0021] Microprocessor: A high-performance embedded microprocessor, such as an ARM series, should be selected. It receives weighing data from the sensor signal conditioning circuit and processes it in real time. The microprocessor incorporates advanced filtering and data compensation algorithms, effectively eliminating weighing errors caused by factors such as material flow shock and vibration. For example, a Kalman filter algorithm is used to fuse sensor data, improving data stability and accuracy. By establishing a mathematical model between material flow and weighing error, real-time compensation is performed on weighing data.

[0022] Storage unit: Connected to the microprocessor, it stores information such as weighing data, equipment operating parameters, and historical records. The storage unit utilizes a high-capacity flash memory chip with a storage capacity between [M1] and [M2] bytes, sufficient for long-term data storage during production. The stored data can be transmitted to a host computer via a communication interface for further analysis and management.

[0023] Control Unit: This controls the operation of the material conveying mechanism based on microprocessor-processed weighing data and pre-set control strategies. For example, when the weighed weight reaches the preset batching value, the control unit stops the drive motor or adjusts the motor speed to achieve precise batching control. The control unit can also coordinate control with other production equipment, such as mixers and packaging machines, to achieve automated control of the entire production process.

[0024] Human-Machine Interface (HMI): Human-machine interaction is achieved through a touch screen. Operators can set weighing parameters such as target weight, material density, and conveyor speed on the HMI; and view real-time weighing data, equipment operating status, and alarm information. The HMI also features data statistics and report generation, enabling easy generation of daily production and material consumption reports, providing robust data support for production management.

[0025] Calibration and maintenance system:

[0026] Calibration device: This includes standard weights and a calibration mechanism. The standard weights, with a higher precision than the designed accuracy of the weighing device, are used for regular calibration of the weighing device. The calibration mechanism automatically loads the standard weights onto the weighing platform to simulate the weight of the material, and then adjusts the device based on the weighing results. The calibration mechanism utilizes a motorized lift and positioning mechanism to precisely control the loading position and weight of the standard weights, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the calibration process.

[0027] Fault diagnosis and alarm system: real-time monitoring of the running state of each component of the weighing device, such as the working state of the sensor, the running parameter of the motor, the tension of the conveyor belt, etc. When detecting abnormal conditions, such as sensor failure, motor overload, conveyor belt deviation, etc., the system immediately sends an alarm signal and displays the fault information on the human-machine interface, which facilitates the maintenance personnel to quickly locate and eliminate the fault.
