Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sensors, and in particular to a weighing sensor. Background Technology
[0002] A load cell is essentially a device that converts a mass signal into a measurable electrical signal output. When using a load cell, the actual working environment must be considered first. This is crucial for the correct selection of a load cell, as it relates to the sensor's normal operation, safety, lifespan, and even the reliability and safety of the entire weighing instrument. For example, a load cell disclosed in prior art publication CN217980484U includes a main body, a first deformation groove, a second deformation groove, and, from left to right, a first mounting end, a first figure-eight groove, a detection end, a second figure-eight groove, and a second mounting end. The first deformation groove is located at the upper end of the first figure-eight groove, and the second deformation groove is located at the lower end of the second figure-eight groove. Both the first and second deformation grooves are used to mount resistance strain gauges with a strain effect. However, when a heavy object impacts or exceeds the detection maximum value, the load cell can be damaged, leading to inaccurate weighing. Pulling the load cell upwards can also cause damage. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a weighing sensor that can protect the sensor from damage when subjected to heavy impact or when the detection value is exceeded, thus ensuring the accuracy of weighing.
[0004] The present invention discloses a weighing sensor, comprising a sensor, a support plate, a cylinder, a protective component, and a buffer component. The sensor is installed in the middle of the support plate, and the support plate is connected to the cylinder below through the protective component. A buffer component is installed between the support plate and the cylinder. The protective component and the buffer component can protect the sensor from damage when a heavy object impacts or exceeds the detection maximum value, thereby ensuring the accuracy of weighing.
[0005] Preferably, the protection component includes a support cylinder and multiple cutting spikes. The support cylinder is installed at the bottom of the support plate and slides inside the cylinder. Multiple cutting spikes are evenly inserted on the inner wall of the cylinder, and the bottom of the support cylinder contacts the cutting spikes. The support plate is supported by the cutting spikes and the support cylinder. When a heavy object impacts or exceeds the detection maximum value, the support cylinder cuts off the cutting spikes downward and slides downward inside the cylinder to buffer the external force and prevent the load cell from being directly damaged by the heavy object.
[0006] Preferably, the buffer component includes multiple buffer cylinders, multiple buffer rods, and multiple buffer springs. The multiple buffer cylinders are axially and evenly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the cylinder. The multiple buffer rods are installed at the bottom of the support plate corresponding to the buffer cylinders. The buffer rods are slidably installed inside the buffer cylinders. The multiple buffer springs are respectively installed inside the buffer cylinders, and the top of the buffer springs is connected to the bottom of the buffer rods. When the support plate and the support cylinder move downward, they push the buffer rods to slide inside the buffer cylinders, while compressing the buffer springs to further buffer and absorb external forces.
[0007] Preferably, it also includes multiple guide blocks. Multiple guide grooves are evenly provided axially on the outer wall of the cylinder, and multiple guide blocks are installed on the outer wall of the cylinder. The guide blocks are slidably installed in the guide grooves. The guide blocks and guide grooves can prevent the sensor from shaking, which would lead to inaccurate measurement, and also prevent the sensor from being pulled up and damaged.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the support cylinder is set as an inclined surface; setting the bottom of the support cylinder as an inclined surface can facilitate the cutting off of the cutting nail and ensure safety.
[0009] Preferably, it also includes a base plate, which is installed at the bottom of the cylinder and has mounting holes; the base plate and mounting holes facilitate the installation of the equipment and make it convenient to use.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by using protective components and buffer components, the sensor can be protected when a heavy object impacts or exceeds the detection maximum value, thus avoiding damage and ensuring the accuracy of weighing.
