Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-8 This utility model provides an embodiment of a high-speed, high-precision instrument for weighing and force measurement, comprising a front panel 1, a housing 2 and a rear baffle 3 on one side of the rear end, which are fixedly connected by screws. An internal main board 9 is provided, which is connected to a switching circuit board 8 via a fixing assembly. The fixing assembly includes copper pillars 7 disposed between the switching circuit board 8 and the main board 9. A bent steel strip 5 is provided between the switching circuit board 8 and the interior of the rear baffle 3. The top and bottom ends of the copper pillars 7 are fastened by screws 6. The main board 9 has three round holes, h1, h2, and h3, and the switching circuit board 8 has round holes h4, h5, and h6 (e.g., h1, h2, h3). Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown), holes h1 and h6, h2 and h5, and h3 and h4 are respectively inserted into copper pillars 7 (with double-ended threads), which can be easily fixed by screws 6. The main board 9 and the display board 10 are connected by soldering pads on the circuit board. The switch circuit board 8 is connected to the pin header (a) on the main board 9 through the pin header (d) on the circuit board, connecting the circuits between the two circuit boards (e.g., Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown), there are multiple openings at the rear baffle 3. The position and size of the openings are made according to the connectors on the main board 9 and the switch circuit board 8. The connectors are used to connect the external power supply, sensor 24, switch output, input, analog output and communication output, respectively.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-8 For the instrument body, there is an internal circuit module, mainly including MCU microcontroller processing circuit 11. The sensor 24 inputs the millivolt signal to the filter circuit and AD circuit 12 through the connector on the circuit board. The filter circuit + AD circuit 12 transmits the processed signal to MCU microcontroller processing circuit 11. One side of MCU microcontroller processing circuit 11 is electrically connected to storage circuit 14, communication circuit 15 and analog output circuit 23 respectively. The other side of MCU microcontroller processing circuit 11 is electrically connected to relay circuit 18, transistor output circuit 19 and transistor input circuit 20 respectively. One end of MCU microcontroller processing circuit 11 is electrically connected to display circuit 21 and key scanning circuit 22.

[0030] The millivolt signal from sensor 24 is converted into a digital signal inside the instrument through a filtering circuit, signal amplification, and AD circuit 12. Then, the signal is processed by the MCU microcontroller circuit 11, which performs software filtering, weight conversion, zeroing, tare, comparison judgment, peak and valley value detection, and other operations. Finally, it is output through the communication circuit 15 via the communication protocol, or converted into voltage and current signals through the analog output circuit 23. At the same time, the comparison judgment results and other alarm signals can also be directly output through the switch circuit (relay circuit 18 and transistor output circuit 19) to send the results to the host computer or control external alarm devices more quickly. Alternatively, external signals can be input through the transistor input circuit 20 to achieve internal zeroing, tare, and other functions. All operating parameters are stored in the storage circuit 14. The MCU displays the real-time force value, weight, and setting parameters through the display circuit 21. Users can also set and modify the internal data of the MCU through the key scanning circuit 22. Meanwhile, the digital power supply circuit 16 and the analog power supply circuit 13 power the entire hardware circuit.

[0031] The MCU microcontroller processing circuit in this instrument adopts a high-speed ARM core microcontroller and uses a combination of filtering algorithms such as moving average and first-order filtering to enable the instrument's internal speed to reach up to 4800 times per second. It can output to the host computer through high-speed serial communication (912600 baud rate). It also has RS485 and RS232 serial ports to meet the requirements of high precision and high speed. This instrument adopts a new high-precision Σ-Δ ADC and, through an adaptive software filtering algorithm, can achieve a display accuracy of 1 / 100000 at low speeds.

[0032] This instrument incorporates serial communication and analog-to-digital conversion programs in its MCU microcontroller processing circuit 11. The communication circuit 15 includes both RS485 and RS232 communication circuits. The instrument features both RS485 and RS232 serial ports. Pin headers e and f are soldered onto the analog circuit board, while pin headers b and c are soldered onto the main board 8. When the user requires analog output functionality, the analog circuit board is simply inserted into pin headers b and c via pin headers e and f. To minimize the instrument's size and reduce circuit board space, the digital circuit board 8 is designed as a separate board, allowing the two boards to be stacked. The digital circuit board 8 contains 5 transistor outputs, 2 relay outputs, and 4 transistor inputs. A 2x10 double-row pin header is located at point a on the main board 9, and a 2x10 double-row pin header is located at point d on the digital circuit board 8. By inserting the double-row pin headers at point d into the double-row pin headers at point a, the digital circuit board 8 and the main board 9 can be connected, forming a single unit. This instrument features both RS485 and RS232 serial ports, supporting Modbus RTU, ASCII, and free protocols. The two serial ports are independent, allowing simultaneous operation from two host computers. An analog module can be optionally added, supporting high-precision 16-bit analog output. Voltage and current outputs can be switched via software. It outputs standard analog signals such as 0–20mA, 4–20mA, 0–±5V, and 0–±10V. Multiple output speeds are available, including 10, 40, 80, 120, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1200, 1600, 2400, and 4800 times / second. The fastest speed of 4800 times / second can meet the needs of most users. The maximum baud rate is 921600bps, and the display accuracy can reach 1 / 100000 under low-speed, high-precision weighing conditions.

[0033] This instrument features multiple digital output circuits, allowing direct output of comparison results and alarm information. To use it, the comparison mode, data source, and comparison conditions are set within the instrument, and then the output ports are configured. The instrument has multiple output ports; after selecting one, the output port is connected to a PLC or other host computer. When the comparison conditions are met, the program controls the digital circuit and outputs a signal to the PLC or other host computer. Upon receiving the signal, the PLC or other host computer takes appropriate action. This instrument can use either relay or transistor outputs. For different devices, such as PLCs with signal inputs, transistors are more suitable due to their superior real-time performance. For devices like alarms and switches where voltage range is not critical, relay outputs are more convenient. Since relay outputs can connect to both DC and AC loads, they have a wider range of applications. The instrument has 5 transistor outputs and 2 relay outputs, along with transistor circuit 19 and relay circuit 18, meeting the user's needs for different digital outputs. Additionally, the instrument has 4 digital inputs 20, which can be zeroed or tare by providing external signals.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention.
