[0019] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The descriptions of the exemplary embodiments are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the present invention or its application or use in any way. The present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided to make the present invention thorough and complete, and to fully express the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, the composition of materials, numerical expressions, and values set forth in these embodiments should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limiting.
[0020] The terms "first," "second," and similar words used in this invention do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different parts. Words such as "including" or "comprising" mean that the element preceding the word encompasses the element listed after it, and do not exclude the possibility of encompassing other elements as well. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are only used to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the lifting platform weighing overload device includes: a PLC1; an analog-to-digital converter module 3 connected to the PLC1, which converts analog signals into digital signals; a force sensor 6 connected to the analog-to-digital converter module 3, installed between one end of the chain and the frame to collect the chain tension; an upper limit sensor 4 connected to the PLC1, triggered when the lifting platform rises to the upper limit position; and a lifting reversing valve 10 connected to the PLC1. In this embodiment, the force sensor 6, installed between the chain and the frame, detects the tension received by the chain. The system monitors the force in real time. When the load on the chain exceeds the set load, the PLC1 makes corresponding control decisions to ensure the safety of the equipment and personnel. When the lifting platform is raised, if the real-time tension value obtained by the PLC1 through the force sensor 6 is greater than the set tension value, the PLC1 outputs a control signal to the lifting reversing valve 10 to control the lifting cylinder 12 to drive the lifting platform down. When the lifting platform is at the upper limit position, during the process of placing goods on the lifting platform, the upper limit sensor 4 is triggered. If the real-time tension value obtained by the PLC1 through the force sensor 6 is greater than the set tension value, the PLC1 does not output a control signal to the lifting reversing valve 10, keeping the lifting platform at the upper limit position.
[0022] In the above embodiment, the upper limit sensor 4 is a limit switch. The limit switch is installed on the frame with its detection end facing the lifting platform. When the lifting platform rises to the correct position, it contacts the detection end of the upper limit sensor 4 and triggers it.
[0023] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and 2 The elevator overload weighing device also includes clamping oil cylinders 11 symmetrically arranged on the frame 13 on both sides of the lifting platform 14 in the upper limit position. The clamping oil cylinders 11 are connected with a clamping directional control valve 9, which is connected with the PLC 1. The clamping directional control valve 9 controls the clamping oil cylinders 11 to clamp or release the lifting platform according to the control signal output by the PLC 1. Specifically, the clamping oil cylinders 11 are even in number, such as four or six. The clamping oil cylinders 11 are evenly distributed on both sides of the lifting platform 14. The two sides of the lifting platform 14 can be provided with grooves 141 matching the end portions of the piston rods of the clamping oil cylinders 11. When the clamping oil cylinders 11 clamp the lifting platform, the end portions of the piston rods of the clamping oil cylinders 11 are inserted into the grooves 141 and clamp and fix the lifting platform 14, so that the situation that the lifting platform 14 tilts and falls due to the disconnection of the chain can be avoided. When the lifting platform is in the upper limit position and goods are placed on the lifting platform, the upper limit sensor 4 is triggered. When the real-time tension value obtained by the force sensor 6 is greater than the set tension value, the PLC 1 does not output a control signal to the lifting directional control valve 10, so that the lifting platform 14 remains in the upper limit position. At the same time, the control signal output by the PLC 1 controls the clamping oil cylinders 11 to clamp the lifting platform 14, further improving the safety.
[0024] In some embodiments, the elevator overload weighing device also includes a vibration sensor 2 connected with an analog-to-digital conversion module 3. The vibration sensor 2 is installed at the bottom of the lifting platform and is used to detect the vibration signal of the lifting platform. When the sliding between one side of the lifting platform and the frame is resisted, the lifting platform will produce abnormal vibration during the lifting or lowering process. The vibration sensor 2 identifies the abnormal vibration to ensure the safe operation of the elevator.
[0025] In some embodiments, the PLC 1 is connected with a communication module 7, which is wirelessly connected with a cloud server 5. The PLC 1 periodically sends the real-time data obtained by the force sensor 6 to the cloud server 5 through the communication module 7. After a safety accident occurs, the data stored in the cloud server 5 can be easily checked to troubleshoot the cause of the accident.
[0026] In some embodiments, the PLC1 is connected with an alarm module 8, which is used to alarm according to the control signal sent by the PLC1; when the lifting platform is lifted, if the real-time tension value obtained by the PLC1 through the force sensor 6 is greater than the set tension value, the PLC1 outputs a control signal to the lifting reversing valve 10 to control the lifting cylinder 12 to drive the lifting platform to descend, and controls the alarm module 8 to alarm overload lifting at the same time; when the lifting platform is at the upper limit position, if the upper limit sensor 4 is triggered during the process of placing goods on the lifting platform, if the real-time tension value obtained by the PLC1 through the force sensor 6 is greater than the set tension value, the PLC1 does not output a control signal to the lifting reversing valve 10, so that the lifting platform remains at the upper limit position, and the alarm module 8 is controlled to alarm overload lifting at the same time.
[0027] Specifically, the alarm module 8 includes an audible and visual alarm.

Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein according to the above description.

It should be pointed out that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the utility model, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
