Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electronic scale calibration devices, specifically relating to an electronic scale calibration device based on a robotic arm. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic scales, as important measuring tools, are widely used in various fields. However, due to factors such as the usage environment and operating methods, the accuracy and precision of electronic scales often deviate, requiring regular calibration. Traditional electronic scale calibration methods mainly rely on manual operation, which is cumbersome, inefficient, and lacks accuracy. Current research on automated verification of electronic balances also shows that calibration is performed by manually placing standard weights, which is not only inefficient but also prone to human error due to repetitive operations. Therefore, an automatic verification device for electronic balances has been developed. This device uses a robotic arm to verify the electronic balance and read its readings. The results show that automatic verification has high accuracy and improves work efficiency, replacing manual verification. The working principle of an electronic scale is based on Hooke's Law or the lever balance principle of forces. A sensor converts the weight of an object into an electrical signal. External pressure causes the elastic beam of the sensor to deform, resulting in a change in resistance of the strain gauge attached to it. Under the action of an excitation voltage, an analog electrical signal proportional to the measured object is output and fed to the AD circuit. The analog-to-digital (AD) circuit of an electronic scale modulates, amplifies, filters, samples, and integrates the analog signal from the sensor, outputting a stable and efficient digital signal. This signal is then sent to the central microprocessor (CPU), which controls the internal program to display the weight of the measured object through the display circuit. Calibration aims to ensure the accuracy of this conversion process, eliminate systematic errors, and ensure that the scale's displayed value matches the actual mass value.
[0003] In conclusion, developing an automatic calibration device for electronic scales based on a robotic arm is of practical significance and application value in order to meet the demands of modern industry for high-precision measurement by improving calibration accuracy and efficiency.

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the electronic scale calibration device based on a robotic arm in this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0014] The following description fully illustrates specific embodiments of the present invention to enable those skilled in the art to practice and reproduce it.
[0015] like Figure 1 The figure shown is a schematic diagram of the electronic scale calibration device based on a robotic arm in this utility model.
[0016] The electronic scale calibration device based on a robotic arm includes: a standard weight library 1, a weight gripping device 2, a camera 3, a robotic arm structure 4, and a robotic arm controller 5. The weight gripping device 2 is connected to the front of the robotic arm structure 4, and the camera 3 is mounted on the robotic arm structure 4. The power cord and control cord of the robotic arm structure 4 are connected to the robotic arm controller 5.
[0017] The standard weight library 1 contains a series of calibration weights of different weights to provide an accurate reference weight for the electronic scale during calibration. The standard weight library 1 can be expanded as needed to accommodate electronic scale calibration requirements of varying accuracy and range. The camera 3 is connected to the information input interface of the robotic arm controller 5 via a data cable.
[0018] The robotic arm controller 5 issues commands to control the robotic arm structure 4, which in turn moves the weight-grabbing device 2 and the camera 3 to grab weights from the standard weight library and place them at different positions on the electronic scale for calibration. The camera 3 then reads the weight values, and after placing the weights, it takes pictures and identifies the readings on the electronic scale.
[0019] The robotic arm structure 4 is equipped with an electronic scale interface, enabling data interaction and control command transmission. Through this interface, the electronic scale connects to the information input interface of the robotic arm controller 5 via a data cable; it can read the real-time weighing data of the electronic scale and calibrate and adjust the scale as needed. The robotic arm structure 4 simulates manual operation, precisely placing and moving the electronic scale. The robotic arm possesses high flexibility and positioning accuracy, and has visual recognition capabilities, ensuring accurate control of the weight and position of items during calibration. The electronic scale interface connects the robotic arm structure 4 and the electronic scale, enabling data interaction and control command transmission. Through this interface, the real-time weighing data of the electronic scale can be read, and the scale can be calibrated and adjusted as needed.
[0020] The robotic arm controller 5 is responsible for the automated control and calibration process management of the entire device. According to the preset calibration program, it directs the robotic arm structure 4 to complete operations such as grabbing, placing and moving weights, while monitoring the weighing data of the electronic scale in real time and making adjustments as needed.
[0021] According to a preset calibration procedure, the control system directs the robotic arm structure 4 to retrieve a weight of a specified amount from the calibration weight library and precisely place it on the weighing platform of the electronic scale. Then, the robotic arm controller 5 reads the real-time weighing data from the electronic scale via its interface and compares it with the standard value. If a deviation exists, the robotic arm controller 5 instructs the robotic arm structure 4 to fine-tune the electronic scale to eliminate the error. After calibration, the robotic arm controller 5 records the calibration data and generates a calibration report.
[0022] The terminology used in this invention is descriptive and exemplary, and not restrictive.
