Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of weighing equipment technology, and in particular to an assembled platform scale. Background Technology

[0002] A platform scale is a weighing instrument used to measure the weight of objects. It typically consists of a rigid platform and four sensors, with a platform size of 2 meters or less for ease of transport. Compared to a truck scale, a platform scale has a lower overall cost, but its weighing capacity is smaller.

[0003] However, platform scales have an area greater than two meters. If the platform width reaches three meters, its width exceeds the width of a vehicle, making it difficult to transport using conventional vehicles. Especially when transporting platform scales via containers, the platform cannot be directly loaded, resulting in significant wasted container space and high transportation costs. Furthermore, extra-wide platform scales require cranes for installation and use, presenting significant lifting challenges. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an assembled platform scale.

[0005] This utility model provides a modular platform scale, which includes a weighing platform assembly, four sensor assemblies installed on the weighing platform assembly, and a junction box. The weighing platform assembly includes:

[0006] A first weighing body and a second weighing body are arranged side by side. The first weighing body has a first frame at both ends, and the second weighing body has a second frame at both ends. The first frame and the second frame are laterally attached and locked by fasteners.

[0007] A reinforcing frame, detachably connected to the bottom of the weighing platform assembly, spans the first frame and the second frame.

[0008] In one embodiment, the first scale body includes a first panel, a plurality of reinforcing beams fixed to the first panel, and a sensor frame. A rectangular space with an opening on one side is formed between the first panel and the first frame. One of the reinforcing beams intersects with the first frame, and the sensor assembly is located within the sensor frame.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first scale body includes an end plate, and a plurality of the reinforcing beams intersect the end plate.

[0010] In one embodiment, the end plate forms one side of the sensor frame.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first scale body further includes a reinforcing plate, which connects the end plate and the first panel, and the reinforcing plate, the end plate and the first panel form a wire-passing channel.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first scale body includes ribs that connect two adjacent reinforcing beams.

[0013] In one embodiment, the reinforcing frame is a thick plate, and the reinforcing frame is locked to the first frame by at least two rows of bolt assemblies.

[0014] In one embodiment, the first frame and the second frame are locked together by at least two rows of bolt assemblies.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first scale body is provided with a raised block, and the sensor assembly is mounted on the raised block.

[0016] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies, achieved by adopting the above structure, are as follows: the assembled platform scale, after disassembly, conforms to conventional road transport standards, facilitating transportation. Multiple reinforcing beams at the bottom of the weighing platform increase the overall strength of the platform scale. The platform scale uses cantilever beam sensors, which are easy to install, low in cost, and allow for convenient height adjustment. The reinforcing frame strengthens the bottom connection, maintaining the flatness of the first and second scale bodies. The reinforcing frame, together with the first and second frames, can withstand the torsional forces of the scale platform components, enabling quick connection and disassembly, and resulting in high overall structural strength.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the modular platform scale includes a platform assembly, four sensor assemblies installed on the platform assembly, and a junction box. The four sensor assemblies are located at the four corners of the platform assembly, and the signal lines of the sensor assemblies are connected to the junction box, which is connected to the instrument.

[0026] The weighing platform assembly includes a first weighing body 10 and a second weighing body 11 arranged side by side. The first weighing body 10 and the second weighing body 11 are assembled and connected to form a flat weighing platform structure. The first weighing body 10 and the second weighing body 11 can be stacked for transport after being disassembled, requiring a small width dimension, which is convenient for truck road transport.

[0027] Preferably, the first weighing body 10 and the second weighing body 11 are symmetrically arranged, with a balanced structure, which can make the force distribution uniform when weighing. The symmetrical structure of the first weighing body 10 and the second weighing body 11 is convenient for mass production.

[0028] In use, the first weighing platform 10 and the second weighing platform 11 are laterally locked together by fasteners to secure the first frame 102 and the second frame 112. A reinforcing frame 13 is located at the bottom of the first weighing platform 10 and the second weighing platform 11, spanning across and connecting the first frame 102 and the second frame 112, thus reinforcing the bottom connection of the first weighing platform 10 and the second weighing platform 11. Furthermore, the reinforcing frame 13 is a transverse structure, which can improve the bending and torsional strength of the first frame 102 and the second frame 112, thereby improving the rigidity and flatness of the weighing platform assembly under heavy loads.

[0029] The first weighing body 10 is used as an example for illustration below.

[0030] The first weighing body 10 includes a first panel 101, multiple reinforcing beams 12 fixed to the first panel 101, and a sensor frame. The reinforcing beams 12 are U-shaped beams, with both ends welded to end plates 21. The two sides of the reinforcing beams 12 are welded to the first panel 101. The sensor frame is located at one corner of the first panel 101 and is connected to the first frame 102 via the end plates 21, lying on the same straight line. The sensor frame intersects the reinforcing beams 12 perpendicularly.

[0031] Reinforcing beams 12 are spaced apart at the bottom of the first panel 101, with each beam relatively parallel. Multiple reinforcing ribs connect the beams closest to the first frame 102, forming a grid structure. Preferably, four reinforcing ribs connect every two reinforcing beams. The reinforcing beams 12 intersect with the first frame 102, and the reinforcing beams 12 and reinforcing ribs form a grid structure, improving the overall structural strength and flatness of the weighing platform assembly. When the second frame 112 is joined to the first frame 102, the denser reinforcing beams in the middle further strengthen the flatness and structural strength of the central area of ​​the weighing platform, reducing or even eliminating the risk of uneven stress caused by deformation of the weighing platform assembly during weighing, leading to data failure.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, both ends of the first weighing body 10 are provided with a first frame 102. The first frame 102 is a frame structure composed of a thin long plate and a thick short plate, resulting in high overall structural strength. A rectangular space with an opening on one side is formed between the first frame 102 and the first panel 101, ensuring structural stability. The rectangular space opening of the first frame 102 faces outward, facilitating the fastener locking of the first frame 102 and the second frame 112. Wiring holes are provided on the thick short plates of the first frame 102 and the second frame 112 to facilitate the routing of the sensor 20 wiring.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the first frame 102 and the second frame 112 are laterally fitted together and connected by locking at least two rows of bolt assemblies. After the first frame 102 and the second frame 112 are connected, they are reinforced by a reinforcing frame 13.

[0034] The reinforcing frame 13 spans the first frame 102 and the second frame 112, and is detachably connected to the bottom of the first weighing body 10 and the second weighing body 11. The reinforcing frame 13 is connected to the first frame 102 by at least two rows of bolt assemblies, each row being locked to the first frame 102 by one, two, three, or more sets of bolt assemblies. The reinforcing plate 22 is a thick plate, its thickness exceeding that of the reinforcing rib, the first panel 101, and the rib 23. The reinforcing plate 22 strengthens the connection between the first frame 102 and the second frame 112, providing strong impact resistance. The reinforcing plate 22 can resist the forces exerted by the goods pressing against the connection between the first weighing body 10 and the second weighing body 11, causing them to expand to both sides and bend downwards, thus increasing the flatness of the weighing body.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first scale body 10 includes an end plate 21, a reinforcing plate 22, and a rib plate 23. Multiple reinforcing beams 12 are connected to the inner side of the end plate 21 to improve the overall rigidity, and a short plate is connected to the other side to form one side of the sensor frame, which stabilizes the structure of the sensor frame.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the reinforcing plate 22 is an L-shaped sheet metal part. One side of the reinforcing plate 22 is fixed to the first panel 101, and the other side is connected to the end plate 21, forming a wiring channel. The end plate 21 is a one-piece rectangular plate, which improves the stability of the sensor frame and the wiring channel. The wiring harnesses of each sensor 20 converge at one end of the platform scale through the wiring channel and are connected to the junction box. The wiring channel can protect the wiring harnesses from exposure and damage.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, rib 23 connects two adjacent reinforcing beams 12, improving the stability between the reinforcing beams. The other side of rib 23 is connected to the sensor frame, effectively increasing the strength and stability of the sensor frame.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the sensor frame includes a support foot 24, a shim block 25, and a sensor 20. The support foot 24 is fixedly connected to the sensor 20 inside the sensor frame, and the support foot 24 is higher than the sensor frame. The sensor 20 is fixedly connected to the shim block 25, which facilitates the adjustment of the sensor's installation height.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Other structures and principles are the same as those in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
