DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The utility model will be further described in connection with the drawings and specific implementation schemes:
[0024] As Figs. 1-3 shown, a supporting device with weighing function for tea making machine includes a bracket 1, a scale pan holder 2, a strain assembly 3, a micro switch 4 and a circuit board (not shown in the drawing) installed on the bracket 1, and the bracket 1 is used to support the target object to be weighed. The strain assembly 3 is installed on the scale pan holder 2, and the strain assembly 3 cooperates with the scale assembly to realize the weighing of the target object. One end of the scale pan holder 2 is installed on the bracket 1, and the other end of the scale pan holder 2 installed on the bracket 1 is also connected with the strain assembly 3, and the other end extends away from the bracket 1 and forms an extension, that is, the extension is located outside the bracket 1. The target object can be a tea barrel of the tea making machine. When the tea barrel of the tea making machine is placed on the supporting device, the tea barrel can contact the extension, that is, the gravity of the tea barrel can act on the scale pan holder 2, and the gravity of the tea barrel acts on the strain assembly 3 through the extension, so that the strain assembly 3 deforms. Different gravity, the strain assembly 3 deforms to different degrees, that is, a mapping relationship between deformation and gravity is established, so the gravity can be measured according to the deformation degree, thereby completing the weighing. The weighing based on deformation is the prior art, and will not be described here.
[0025] The strain assembly 3 is installed inside the bracket 1, and one end of the scale pan holder 2 installed on the bracket 1 extends into the bracket 1 and is connected with the strain assembly 3. The circuit board is installed inside the bracket 1, and the circuit board is electrically connected with the strain gauge 31. The circuit board is used to receive the deformation signal representing the deformation size sent by the strain gauge 31, and calculate the weight based on the deformation signal.
[0026] The micro switch 4 is electrically connected with the circuit board. The micro switch 4 is installed on the scale tray frame 2 and is connected to one end of the bracket 1, and protrudes from the scale tray frame 2, so that when the target object is placed on the scale tray frame 2, the target object can contact the micro switch 4, so that the micro switch 4 is in an open state. When the micro switch 4 is in the open state, the micro switch 4 sends a trigger signal to the circuit board, which represents the start of receiving the deformation signal. That is, when the circuit board receives the trigger signal, the circuit board starts to receive the deformation signal and starts to weigh, otherwise the circuit board does not receive the deformation signal and does not weigh.

The first fixed plate 202 is attached to the inner side of the first longitudinal portion 102, and the second fixed plate 203 is attached to the inner side of the second longitudinal portion 103. The micro switch 4 is installed on the scale tray plate 201.
[0032] Illustratively, it further includes a bottom plate 5, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bracket 1. The bottom plate 5 plays a role of protecting and supporting the device and increasing the strength of the device. When the supporting device is installed on the tea maker, the bottom plate 5 contacts the target position of the tea maker to protect the supporting device. At the same time, the bottom plate 5 can enhance the strength of the bracket 1, thereby increasing the strength of the entire supporting device.
