Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metrological verification equipment technology, specifically to a weight lifting device for verifying electronic scales. Background Technology
[0002] The verification of electronic scales refers to the verification of non-automatic weighing instruments such as electronic platform scales and electronic bench scales that display values in digital form, according to national metrological verification regulations. The verification of indication error and repeatability involves placing standard weights on the electronic scale, subtracting the reference value on the weights from the displayed value, and further determining whether the indication error or repeatability is within the required range or the maximum permissible error range, thus determining whether the electronic scale has passed verification. The verification of electronic scales can check whether scales used in trade settlement or in public welfare sectors such as healthcare meet legal requirements and ensure the accuracy of the measured values.
[0003] Currently, when calibrating electronic scales, weights are manually placed on the scale pan. When calibrating scales with large capacities, this requires repeated manual placement and removal of heavy weights, resulting in low efficiency and significant safety hazards. Some provincial metrology institutes have developed automatic calibration devices for electronic scales, which can automatically select, raise, and lower weights. However, these devices are expensive, heavy, and cumbersome to operate, making them unsuitable for large-scale field calibration work at grassroots metrology institutes. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a portable and cost-effective weight lifting device for electronic scale calibration. Summary of the Invention

[0029] like Figure 1-7 The illustrated weight lifting device for electronic scale calibration is characterized by comprising a workbench module 1, a lifting module 2, and a gripping module 3. The workbench module 1 includes a workbench 11, a support base 12, a lifting rack 13, and a column 14.

[0030] In this solution, both the cylinder 33 and the motor 22 are equipped with wireless control modules that can connect to 5G or Bluetooth signals to control the cylinder's advance and disengagement, and the motor's forward and reverse rotation using a remote control.
[0031] In this design, the workbench 11 and cantilever beam 21 are both made of extruded aluminum profiles and are partially designed to be welded by argon arc welding. The aluminum alloy material can be 5052, which balances low weight and high strength.
[0032] As a preferred embodiment, four support seats 12 are provided, each connected to a threaded hole at one of the four corners of the worktable 11. The upper threaded portion and the lower rubber pad portion of each support seat 12 are bonded together with an adhesive. The horizontal state of the worktable 11 can be adjusted by rotating the four support seats 12 along their threads.
[0033] As a preferred option, the workbench 11 is made of extruded aluminum profile, and the column 14 is bolted to the workbench 11 and the lifting rack 13; a rectangular guide rail is designed on the outer side of the column 14.
[0034] As a preferred option, the cantilever beam 21 is designed with a "U"-shaped limiting hole, through which the cantilever beam 21 can be fitted onto the column 14. The "U"-shaped limiting hole of the cantilever beam is designed with a lifting limiting guide groove, which can cooperate with the rectangular guide rail on the outer side of the column 14.
[0035] Furthermore, one end of the transmission mechanism 23 is connected to the motor 22 via a coupling 231, and the other end is connected to the lifting rack 13 via a lifting gear 231.
[0036] In addition, the bolts on the aforementioned components or mechanisms can be replaced with other installation methods, such as screws, studs, or clips.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment, the lifting gear 234 in the transmission mechanism 23 is circumferentially fixed by a flat key 233 and axially fixed by a shoulder designed on the transmission shaft 232 and a round nut 235. The design of the lifting gear 234 is based on the reverse design of the load generated by a 20kg weight, and the parameters of the flat key 233 and the transmission shaft 232 are designed according to the parameters of the lifting gear based on the mechanical design manual.
[0038] As a preferred option, the working wedge 351 is designed with a "T"-shaped guide rail groove, which can be matched with the "T"-shaped guide rails designed on the two working wedges 352.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment, the lower mounting plate 31 is designed with a guide groove, which can cooperate with the rolling bearing 355 mounted on the guide post 354. The guide post 354 is designed with a hexagonal structure and a threaded design, which can be threaded to the working wedge 352.

[0041] As a preferred option, the gripper shape at the front end of the weight gripper 353 is designed based on the gripping mechanism at the top of a cylindrical weight, and various weight grippers can be designed to match different weight masses. For example... Figure 6 The gripper form of the weight gripper 353 shown is only one embodiment. For example, the corresponding lock-type weight can be replaced with the corresponding hook-shaped structure.
[0042] Specifically, when calibrating the electronic scale, firstly, adjust the support base 12 to ensure the workbench 11 is level and stable, and place the electronic scale to be tested on the upper surface of the workbench 11. Control the cylinder 33 to retract, causing the active wedge 351 to drive the working wedge 352 to the designated position through the "T" groove. Then, manually place the large mass weight to be used in the middle position of the weight gripper 353, and control the cylinder 33 to advance, causing the active wedge 351 to drive the working wedge 352 to retract through the "T" groove until the weight gripper 353 grips the weight, and the cylinder 33 locks. Further control the motor 22 to start working. The forward rotation of the motor 22 drives the lifting gear 234 in the transmission mechanism 23 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission between the lifting gear 234 and the lifting rack 13, the cantilever beam 21 drives the weight in the lifting module 2 and the gripping module 3 to descend onto the electronic scale pan for one reading of the indication error. If the repeatability of the electronic scale needs to be calibrated, the above steps can be repeated multiple times.
[0043] In addition, the aforementioned limiting methods, such as the meshing of the lifting gear 231 and the lifting rack 13, and the cooperation between the rectangular guide rail and the rectangular guide rail groove, are all lubricated by grease.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
