Detailed Implementation

[0041] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention. These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an integrated modular electromagnetic force balance weighing sensor is provided.

[0043] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figures 1-9 As shown, the integrated modular electromagnetic force balance weighing sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0044] The integrated sensor module body 1; a crossbeam 108, located at one end of the integrated sensor module body 1; an electromagnetic force balancing mechanism, located inside one end of the integrated sensor module body 1; a photoelectric sensing component, located on one side wall of the integrated sensor module body 1; and an elastic support mechanism 1010, located on both sides of the top of the integrated sensor module body 1, to achieve elastic support for the crossbeam 108.

[0045] The integrated sensor module body 1 comprises a load-bearing beam 101, a vertical elastic body 102, a horizontal elastic body 103, an oblique elastic body 104, a lower attachment plate elastic body 105, a power arm 106, a resistance arm 107, and a light-shielding plate 109. The top of the load-bearing beam 101 is connected to the tray support plate 7 via tray support plate fastening screws 15. Furthermore, in specific applications, the elastic support mechanism 1010 uses machine-milled aluminum springs instead of traditional beryllium bronze springs. Aluminum springs offer better processing consistency, stable rigidity, lower material and processing costs, and stable elastic recovery performance. The structural composition of the integrated sensor module body 1 and the positional relationships between its sub-components are existing technologies and will not be elaborated upon further here.

[0046] The integrated sensor module body 1 has symmetrically arranged adjusting screw assemblies 13 on both sides of its top end for adjusting off-center load error. By screwing in or out the adjusting screw assemblies 13, the local force state can be changed to adjust the off-center load error. The photoelectric sensing component is used to detect the balance position of the crossbeam 108 and feeds the position signal back to the electromagnetic force balancing mechanism. The electromagnetic force balancing mechanism adjusts the output force in real time according to the signal, so that the crossbeam 108 can quickly stabilize at the balance position and ensure high-precision weighing.

[0047] Secondly, the crossbeam 108 serves as a force transmission component, with one end bearing the load being measured and the other end cooperating with the electromagnetic force balancing mechanism.

[0048] By utilizing the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the structure of this utility model is reasonable and reliable, and it achieves lower costs, simpler processing and assembly, more flexible adjustment of off-center load error, and higher weighing accuracy and stability. This utility model adopts an integrated modular structure, reducing assembly steps, lowering assembly errors, increasing overall rigidity, making it less prone to deformation over long-term use, and improving stability. The elastic support mechanism 1010 of this utility model uses machine-milled aluminum springs instead of beryllium bronze springs, resulting in lower material and processing costs and suitability for mass production. This utility model allows for adjustment of off-center load error via two adjusting screws, providing intuitive operation, high debugging efficiency, and facilitating production and subsequent maintenance, making off-center load error adjustment simple and efficient. This utility model features sensitive photoelectric sensing detection and fast response speed, combined with closed-loop electromagnetic force balance control, ensuring stable linearity and repeatability of the electronic balance under high-precision weighing. The modular structure adopted by this utility model is simple to assemble, can be directly adapted to various high-precision electronic balance main units, has a wide range of applications, strong versatility, and is easy to integrate.

[0049] In one embodiment, the electromagnetic force balancing mechanism includes a magnetic yoke 3 disposed inside one end of the integrated sensor module body 1. A temperature sensing element 2 is disposed at the bottom end of the magnetic yoke 3. A magnet 4 is disposed at the bottom end of the inner part of the magnetic yoke 3. A pole shoe 5 is disposed at the top end of the magnet 4. A coil frame 6 is disposed at the top end of the pole shoe 5. A magnetic yoke cover 14 is disposed at the top end of the magnetic yoke 3. The magnetic yoke cover 14 and the magnetic yoke 3 are fixedly connected by magnetic yoke cover fastening screws 20. The top end of the magnetic yoke 3 is fixedly connected to the integrated sensor module body 1 by magnetic yoke fastening screws 18.

[0050] In addition, the bottom end of the magnetic yoke 3 is provided with a temperature sensing element mounting hole 301 that cooperates with the temperature sensing element 2; the top outer side of the magnetic yoke 3 is also provided with a magnetic yoke cover mounting hole 302 that cooperates with the magnetic yoke cover 14; a magnetic yoke mounting hole 303 and a limiting groove 304 that cooperate with the magnetic yoke fastening screw 18; and the top middle part of the magnetic yoke 3 is the magnet mounting position 305.

[0051] Among them, the electromagnetic force balancing mechanism can receive the position signal of the photoelectric sensing component, generate corresponding electromagnetic force by controlling the coil current, so that the crossbeam 108 returns to the balanced position, and realizes high-precision force balance weighing.

[0052] In one embodiment, the photoelectric sensing component includes a photoelectric box 11 disposed on one side wall of the integrated sensor module body 1, with a transmitting tube 12 disposed on one side of the photoelectric box 11 and a receiving tube 10 disposed on the other side of the photoelectric box 11; a limiting plate 9 is disposed at the bottom of the photoelectric box 11, and the limiting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the integrated sensor module body 1 by limiting plate fastening screws 16; the photoelectric box 11 is fixedly connected to the integrated sensor module body 1 by several photoelectric box fastening screws 17, thereby being able to receive the position signal of the photoelectric sensing component, and generate corresponding electromagnetic force by controlling the coil current, so that the crossbeam 108 returns to the equilibrium position, thereby achieving high-precision force balance weighing.

[0053] In addition, the photoelectric box 11 is provided with a transmitter tube mounting hole 1101, a receiver tube mounting hole 1102, a photoelectric box fixing hole 1103, and a receiver tube positioning hole 1104, which are respectively matched with the transmitter tube 12, the receiver tube 10, the photoelectric box fastening screw 17, and the receiver tube 10.

[0054] The light-shielding plate 109 is located on the crossbeam 108, with a photoelectric detection slit in the middle. The light-shielding plate 109 moves together with the crossbeam 108. When the load changes, the crossbeam 108 shifts, the position of the light-shielding plate 109 changes, the light flux received by the receiving tube through the photoelectric detection slit changes, and a corresponding electrical signal is output.

[0055] In one embodiment, for the integrated sensor module body 1, a tray plate 7 is provided at the top of the other end of the integrated sensor module body 1, and the tray plate 7 is connected to the integrated sensor module body 1 by a tray plate fastening screw 15. A tray plate shaft 8 is provided at one end of the tray plate 7, thereby realizing the transmission of force. The force received by the weighing of the item can be transmitted to the integrated sensor module body 1, thereby detecting the balance position of the crossbeam 108 and feeding back the detected position signal to the electromagnetic force balancing mechanism.

[0056] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0057] In practical applications, the balance pan bears the weight, and the pan support shaft 8 experiences a downward force. After being buffered by the pan support plate 7, the force is transmitted to the load-bearing beam 101. Because the sensor module is a cantilever beam parallel beam structure, the load-bearing beam undergoes a translational change, while the load-bearing surface remains horizontal. The deformation is transmitted to the power arm 106 through the vertical elastic body 102, and amplified by the lever. This causes the light-shielding plate 109 at the end of the crossbeam 108 to deviate from its original equilibrium position. The infrared light emitted by the transmitting tube 12 passes through the photoelectric detection slit and shines on the receiving tube 10, changing the light flux. The control board detects this change and outputs a corresponding current signal to the coil frame 6, causing the light-shielding plate 109 to return to the equilibrium position. At the same time, it drives the crossbeam 108 and the load-bearing beam back to the equilibrium position, completing the weighing process.

[0058] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the structure of this utility model is reasonable and reliable, and it achieves lower cost, simpler processing and assembly, more flexible adjustment of off-center load error, and higher weighing accuracy and stability. This utility model adopts an integrated modular structure, reducing assembly steps, lowering assembly errors, increasing overall rigidity, making it less prone to deformation over long-term use, and improving stability. The elastic support mechanism 1010 of this utility model uses machine-milled aluminum springs instead of beryllium bronze springs, resulting in lower material and processing costs and suitability for mass production. This utility model allows for adjustment of off-center load error via two adjusting screws, providing intuitive operation, high debugging efficiency, and facilitating production and subsequent maintenance, making off-center load error adjustment simple and efficient. This utility model features sensitive photoelectric sensing detection and fast response speed, combined with closed-loop electromagnetic force balance control, ensuring stable linearity and repeatability of the electronic balance under high-precision weighing. The modular structure adopted by this utility model is simple to assemble, can be directly adapted to various high-precision electronic balance main units, has a wide range of applications, strong versatility, and is easy to integrate. By setting up an electromagnetic force balancing mechanism, the position signal from the photoelectric sensing component can be received, and a corresponding electromagnetic force can be generated by controlling the coil current to restore the crossbeam 108 to its balanced position, thus achieving high-precision force balance weighing. The photoelectric sensing component can detect the balanced position of the crossbeam 108 and feed the detected position signal back to the electromagnetic force balancing mechanism.
