Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of weighing sensors, and in particular to a linear self-compensating weighing sensor. Background Technology

[0002] Column-type sensors are widely used in various electronic weighing equipment such as truck scales, rail scales, axle weighing scales, and tank scales. Ordinary column-type sensors used in weighing instruments generally employ a double-ball-head rocker column structure. This structure has the advantages of self-resetting and self-centering, but it carries the risk of tipping over when the tilt angle is large, especially after long-term use due to wear and corrosion. The mainstream column-type sensors on the market are pure column type and shear column type. Pure column type sensors, due to their inherent linearity defects, require linear compensation plates to adjust linearity, but the quality of these compensation plates is difficult to guarantee, increasing both manufacturing complexity and potential quality issues. Shear column type sensors are more sensitive to off-center load output, and the output is affected when the sensor is tilted at an angle.

[0003] Existing load cells lack a stable structure on the outer side of the elastic body during use. When the elastic body is subjected to pressure, it is prone to skew deformation, failing to stabilize the side of the elastic body and affecting the accurate weighing of the load cell. In addition, the bearing steel ball installed at the top of the elastic body is prone to shaking and movement, resulting in unstable installation of the bearing plate and bearing pressure head, which can easily lead to skew and inaccurate weighing by the load cell.

[0004] Therefore, we designed a linear self-compensating load cell to meet the needs of practical applications. Utility Model Content
