Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of weighing equipment technology, and in particular to a weighing device. Background Technology

[0002] Large cranes are inherently heavy and have many components, so they are generally assembled on-site. A significant portion of this weight is counterweight (which typically accounts for close to 50% of the total weight and weighs over 4000 tons). Transporting this counterweight is costly. To reduce costs, a frame is constructed on-site, and soil is used to act as counterweight. However, due to variations in soil quality, moisture content, and compaction, the weight of each frame differs, potentially causing the counterweight to fall short of the design value and leading to safety accidents. Common weighing methods similar to weighbridges used for vehicles have limited weighing capacity, usually not exceeding 100 tons, making them unsuitable for the aforementioned conditions. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a weighing device that can solve the problems existing in the prior art, increase the measuring range of the weighing device, accurately measure the weight of the counterweight, and improve the safety of the crane during use.

[0004] This utility model provides a weighing device, including at least two support seats, at least one weighing platform, and at least two sets of lever mechanisms. The weighing platform is disposed on the support seats, and the lever mechanisms are connected between the weighing platform and the support seats. The lever mechanism includes a connecting rod, a sensor, and a pull plate. One end of the sensor is connected to the connecting rod, and the other end of the sensor is connected to the pull plate.

[0005] In one embodiment, each of the lever mechanisms includes a first fixing part, a second fixing part, and a third fixing part. The first fixing part and the second fixing part are fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod, and the third fixing part is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod. The first fixing part is connected to the weighing platform, the second fixing part is connected to the first connecting surface, and the third fixing part is fixedly connected to the sensor.

[0006] In one embodiment, the second fixing part is disposed between the first fixing part and the third fixing part, and the second fixing part is disposed at the end of the connecting rod away from the sensor.

[0007] In one embodiment, the sensor and the body of the connecting rod are arranged perpendicularly to each other, and the pull plate and the body of the connecting rod are arranged perpendicularly to each other.

[0008] In one embodiment, two supports of the same weighing platform are each provided with one of the lever mechanisms to form a set of lever mechanisms; or two supports of the same weighing platform are each provided with two of the lever mechanisms to form two sets of lever mechanisms, and the two lever mechanisms on the same support belong to the two sets of lever mechanisms respectively, with the two lever mechanisms on the same support spaced apart.

[0009] In one embodiment, the actual weight of the object on the weighing platform is: Where k is the weighing coefficient, determined by experimental measurement; L1 is the length of the short-side lever arm of the connecting rod; L2 is the length of the long-side lever arm of the connecting rod; F ’ The force is measured by the sensor.

[0010] In one embodiment, the length of the short-side lever arm of the connecting rod refers to the perpendicular distance from the center point of the second fixed part to the center point of the first fixed part in the direction of force, and the length of the long-side lever arm of the connecting rod refers to the perpendicular distance from the center point of the second fixed part to the center point of the third fixed part in the direction of force.

[0011] In one embodiment, the force acting on the sensor is: Where n is the number of sensors, which is an even number.

[0012] In one embodiment, the weighing platform is provided with a first connecting seat at one end near the support base, and the first fixing part is connected to the first connecting seat through a first connecting member.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first connecting surface is provided with a second connecting seat, the second fixing part is connected to the second connecting seat through a second connecting member, and the third fixing part is connected to the sensor through a third connecting member.

[0014] The weighing device of this utility model is equipped with a lever mechanism, which is used to connect the weighing platform and the support base. The connecting rod and the pull plate of the lever mechanism are connected by a sensor. Since the sensor 142 and the body of the connecting rod 141 are set perpendicular to each other, and the pull plate 143 and the body of the connecting rod 141 are set perpendicular to each other, the connecting rod, the sensor and the pull plate are connected to form a lever mechanism. The weighing platform and the support base are then connected through the lever mechanism. By changing the connection method of the sensor, the weighing device can increase the measurement range.

[0027] The terms “include,” “comprising,” or any other variation thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, which includes not only the elements listed but also other elements not expressly listed.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the weighing device includes a base 11, at least two support seats 12, at least one weighing platform 13, and at least two sets of lever mechanisms 14. The base 11 is fixedly connected to the ground or the machine body, making the base 11 a fixed structure. The machine body refers to the main body of various machines or heavy machinery. Each support seat 12 is fixedly connected to the base 11. The weighing platform 13 is set on the support seat 12. The weighing platform 13 is used to place the object to be measured and weigh it. The weighing platform 13 and the support seat 12 are both rectangular structures. The lever mechanism 14 is connected between the weighing platform 13 and the support seat 12. The lever mechanism 14 includes a connecting rod 141, a sensor 142, and a pull plate 143. One end of the sensor 142 is connected to the connecting rod 141, and the other end of the sensor 142 is connected to the pull plate 143. The sensor 142 and the body of the connecting rod 141 are arranged perpendicular to each other, and the pull plate 143 and the body of the connecting rod 141 are arranged perpendicular to each other. It is understood that the sensor 142 and the pull plate 143 are vertically arranged, and the body of the pull plate 143 is horizontally arranged. Therefore, the sensor 142 and the body of the pull plate 143 are perpendicular to each other, and the connecting rod 141 is perpendicular to the body of the pull plate 143. The body of the pull plate 143 refers to the structure of the pull plate 143 other than the first fixing part 1411, the second fixing part 1412 and the third fixing part 1413.

[0029] Preferably, each of the two support seats 12 of the same weighing platform 13 is provided with a lever mechanism 14 to form a set of lever mechanisms 14; for example, a lever mechanism 14 is connected to one support seat 12. Since the same weighing platform requires two support seats 12 for support, the lever mechanisms 14 on the two support seats 12 form a set of lever mechanisms 14 to make the weighing platform 13 reach balance.

[0030] In another preferred embodiment, two support seats 12 of the same weighing platform 13 are respectively provided with two lever mechanisms 14 to form two sets of lever mechanisms 14, and the two lever mechanisms 14 on the same support seat 12 belong to two sets of lever mechanisms 14, and the two lever mechanisms 14 on the same support seat 12 are spaced apart.

The first lever mechanism and the third lever mechanism form a group, and the second lever mechanism and the fourth lever mechanism form a group, thus forming a total of two sets of lever mechanisms 14.
