Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent industrial crane scale technology, specifically to a data acquisition device for intelligent industrial crane scales. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial crane scales are widely used in railway stations, freight yards, docks, steel mills, and other scenarios to measure the weight of goods. Traditional industrial crane scales have significant shortcomings in data presentation and functional design: they primarily rely on mechanical pointers or fixed static displays for weight display. Mechanical pointer crane scales are susceptible to environmental vibrations, causing pointer deviation or jamming, resulting in reading errors; while display crane scales can display numbers, they only support single weight displays and cannot dynamically update or store data. Furthermore, they are difficult to read clearly in bright light, dim light, or at a distance, requiring close manual observation, leading to low operational efficiency. Traditional crane scales lack data acquisition capabilities, only providing real-time weight display. Lacking key components such as pressure sensors, analog-to-digital converters, and microcontrollers, they cannot perform real-time acquisition, calibration, storage, or transmission of weight data. Therefore, we propose an intelligent industrial crane scale data acquisition device to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an intelligent industrial crane scale data acquisition device, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The main body has a cavity inside, and a connection hole is provided at the bottom of the cavity;

[0006] A T-shaped connecting rod, one end of which passes through the connecting hole and extends into the cavity, and the other end is fixedly connected to a weighing hook;

[0007] A pressure sensor is disposed at one end of the T-shaped connecting rod located within the cavity;

[0008] A data acquisition structure is electrically connected to the pressure sensor and is used to acquire the detection data of the pressure sensor.

[0009] A microcontroller, which is electrically connected to the pressure sensor;

[0010] A power module is electrically connected to the data acquisition structure, the pressure sensor, the high-definition display screen, and the voice player, and is used to supply power to the device.

[0011] Furthermore, the data acquisition structure includes an analog-to-digital conversion module, which is electrically connected to the pressure sensor and the microcontroller. The module is used to convert the analog signal from the pressure sensor into a digital signal and transmit it to the microcontroller for processing and storing the detection data.

[0012] Furthermore, a high-definition display screen and a voice player are fixedly installed on the outside of the main body. Both the high-definition display screen and the voice player are electrically connected to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is used to control the high-definition display screen to display the weighing data and to control the voice player to broadcast the weighing results.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the main body is provided with a lifting ring, which is used to suspend the equipment on lifting machinery.

[0014] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the side of the main body, and a door is hinged in the groove, which is used to open or close the cavity.

[0015] Furthermore, the T-shaped connecting rod is slidably connected to the connecting hole.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. This intelligent industrial crane scale data acquisition device collects real-time force data of the weighing hook through a pressure sensor. Combined with a data acquisition structure and analog-to-digital conversion module, it achieves precise conversion from analog to digital signals, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of data acquisition. The microcontroller processes and stores the data in real time, supporting historical data traceability to meet the data traceability requirements of industrial scenarios. A high-definition display screen and voice player on the outside of the main unit are linked with the microcontroller, allowing for simultaneous display or broadcasting of weighing results, adapting to noisy environments or long-distance viewing needs, and improving operational convenience.

[0018] 2. This intelligent industrial crane scale data acquisition device features a high-definition display screen on the outside of the main body that can display weighing data in real time and clearly, solving the problems of traditional mechanical pointers being easily interfered with by vibration and the poor readability of static displays in complex environments. A voice player simultaneously broadcasts the weighing results, making it particularly suitable for noisy industrial scenarios or remote operations, avoiding the inefficiency of close-range manual inspection and achieving dual data feedback of "visual + auditory". A pressure sensor directly senses the weight of the goods transmitted by the T-shaped connecting rod, converting the physical signal into an analog electrical signal. An analog-to-digital conversion module works with a microcontroller to complete signal digitization, calibration, and filtering, ensuring data accuracy and completely solving the defect of traditional crane scales that "only display and do not collect data". The microcontroller supports weighing data storage and allows for the traceability of historical records, meeting the data traceability requirements of industrial scenarios and eliminating the problems of error-prone and difficult-to-manage traditional manual recording, thus facilitating digital management upgrades.

Microcontroller 8 can store data in its internal memory and supports historical data query and traceability. The processed weighing data is transmitted through microcontroller 8 to high-definition display screen 10 on the outside of the main body 1 to display the weight of the goods in real time in digital form, which is convenient for operators to read intuitively. Microcontroller 8 synchronously controls voice player 11 to broadcast the weighing results in voice form, which can adapt to noisy environments or long-distance operation needs and improve interaction efficiency.

[0033] The power module 6 is electrically connected to the data acquisition structure 7, pressure sensor 5, high-definition display screen 10, and voice player 11, and is used to power the device.

[0034] In this embodiment, the independent power module 6 provides stable power to the equipment, ensuring continuous operation for a long time.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the data acquisition structure 7 includes an analog-to-digital converter module 9, which is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 5 and the microcontroller 8. The analog-to-digital converter module 9 is used to convert the analog signal of the pressure sensor 5 into a digital signal and transmit it to the microcontroller 8. The analog-to-digital converter module 9 in the data acquisition structure 7 receives the analog electrical signal output by the pressure sensor 5 and converts it into a digital signal (such as binary data) so that the microcontroller 8 can process it.

[0036] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor 5 collects the force data of the weighing hook 4 in real time. Together with the data acquisition structure 7 and the analog-to-digital conversion module 9, the analog signal is accurately converted into a digital signal, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the data acquisition.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, a high-definition display screen 10 and a voice player 11 are fixedly installed on the outside of the main body 1. Both the high-definition display screen 10 and the voice player 11 are electrically connected to the microcontroller 8. The microcontroller 8 is used to control the high-definition display screen 10 to display the weighing data and to control the voice player 11 to broadcast the weighing results.

[0038] In this embodiment, the microcontroller 8 processes and stores data in real time, supports historical data traceability, and meets the data traceability requirements of industrial scenarios. The high-definition display screen 10 and voice player 11 set on the outside of the main body 1 are linked with the microcontroller 8 and can display or broadcast the weighing results synchronously, adapting to noisy environments or long-distance viewing needs and improving the ease of operation.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the top of the main body 1 is provided with a lifting ring 12, which is used to suspend the equipment on the lifting machinery.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 As shown, a groove 13 is provided on the side of the main body 1, and a door 14 is hinged in the groove 13. The door 14 is used to open or close the cavity 2.

[0041] In this embodiment, the T-shaped connecting rod 3 cooperates with the inner wall of the main body 1 through the sliding clamping plate, which significantly improves the stability of movement, reduces the shaking during the hoisting process, and ensures the measurement accuracy. The groove 13 and hinged door 14 on the side of the main body 1 are designed to facilitate the opening of the cavity 2 for the inspection and replacement of components such as the pressure sensor 5, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

The top of the rod body is engaged with the inner wall of the main body to reduce the shaking of the connecting rod during hoisting and ensure that the pressure sensor 5 accurately senses the stable force.

[0043] In use, when the weighing hook 4 lifts the goods, the weight of the goods is transmitted to the pressure sensor 5 through the T-shaped connecting rod 3, located at one end of the connecting rod inside the cavity 2. The sensitive element inside the pressure sensor 5 deforms under force, causing a change in its resistance or voltage value, thus converting the physical weight signal into an analog electrical signal. The T-shaped connecting rod 3 is slidably connected to the connecting hole 21 of the main body 1 and the cavity 2, and the top of the rod engages with the inner wall of the main body, reducing the swaying of the connecting rod during lifting and ensuring that the pressure sensor 5 accurately senses stable force. The analog-to-digital conversion module 9 in the data acquisition structure 7 receives the analog electrical signal output by the pressure sensor 5 and converts it into a digital signal (such as binary data) for processing by the microcontroller 8. Microcontroller 8, as the core control unit, performs calculations, calibration, and filtering on digital signals to remove noise interference and generate accurate weighing data. Simultaneously, microcontroller 8 stores data in its internal memory, supporting historical data retrieval and traceability. The processed weighing data is transmitted via microcontroller 8 to a high-definition display screen 10 on the outside of the main body 1, displaying the cargo weight in real-time digital form for easy and intuitive reading by operators. Microcontroller 8 also synchronously controls a voice player 11 to broadcast the weighing results in voice, adapting to noisy environments or long-distance operation needs and improving interaction efficiency. Power module 6 provides stable power to all electronic components, including pressure sensor 5, microcontroller 8, and display screen 10, ensuring continuous operation of the equipment for extended periods.
