Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of belt scale technology, and in particular to an automatic static calibration device for a static belt scale. Background Technology
[0002] Belt scales are automatic weighing instruments that continuously weigh bulk materials on a conveyor belt without requiring subdivision of mass or interruption of the conveyor belt's movement. They are mainly classified by the load-bearing device: weighing platform type load-bearing device and conveyor type load-bearing device; and by belt speed: single-speed belt scales and variable-speed belt scales. During the use of belt scales, a weight calibration process is required to improve measurement accuracy.
[0003] The applicant's earlier patent application CN 217424535 U discloses an automatic static calibration device for a static belt scale. Although the earlier patent application has solved the problem of automatic reset of the weights during the calibration process, the drive of the magnetic block requires adjustment in both the vertical and horizontal directions, and the drive structure is relatively complex. During the separation of the magnetic block and the magnetic weight, the output shaft of the electric push rod needs to extend to separate the magnetic block and the magnetic weight. Since there is still magnetic force between the magnetic block and the magnetic weight during separation, a lateral pulling force is generated on the reset spring. After a period of use, the service life of the reset spring will decrease, and automatic control cannot be well achieved. In addition, the entire calibration process lacks status feedback, and it is difficult to detect in time if the reset fails or jams.
[0004] Therefore, an automatic static calibration device for static belt scales was developed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0033] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an automatic static calibration device for a static belt scale includes:
[0034] The support frame 1 is equipped with a magnetic weight 2 and two liftable insert arms 3. The magnetic weight 2 has two downward-facing grooves, and the two insert arms 3 are inserted into the corresponding grooves.
[0035] The limiting structure includes a limiting groove 8, a receiving groove 9, and a limiting block 13. The top inner walls of the two grooves are provided with limiting grooves 8, and the upper surfaces of the two insert arms 3 are provided with receiving grooves 9. Each receiving groove 9 is connected to a limiting block 13 by a spring 10. The limiting block 13 is adapted to the limiting groove 8. When the limiting block 13 is located inside the receiving groove 9, the spring 10 is in a compressed state.
[0036] The weight reset mechanism includes an electric push rod 5 and an electromagnet 4. The electric push rod 5 is horizontally mounted on the support frame 1 and connected to the electromagnet 4. The electromagnet 4 is located on the rear side corresponding to the magnetic weight 2, and the electromagnet 4 is magnetically compatible with the magnetic weight 2.
[0037] Controller 12 is connected to electric push rod 5 and electromagnet 4 respectively.
[0038] In one embodiment, a light-absorbing layer is provided on the inner wall of the storage slot 9, and a reflective infrared sensor 11 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the storage slot 9. The side of the limiting block 13 corresponding to the reflective infrared sensor 11 is a diffuse reflection surface 14. The reflective infrared sensor 11 is connected to the controller 12 for control.
[0039] In one embodiment, the diffuse reflective surface 14 is a reflective film disposed on one side of the limiting block 13.
[0040] In one embodiment, the light-absorbing layer is one of a black velvet layer, a matte black paint coating, or a black non-woven fabric layer.
[0041] In one embodiment, the electric push rod 5 and the electromagnet 4 are connected by a connecting rod assembly, which includes a horizontal rod 6 and a vertical rod 7. One end of the horizontal rod 6 is connected to the end of the electric push rod 5, the other end of the horizontal rod 6 is connected to the top of the vertical rod 7, and the bottom end of the vertical rod 7 is connected to the top of the electromagnet 4.
[0042] In one embodiment, electromagnet 4 is a block-shaped electromagnet.
[0043] In one embodiment, the support frame 1 includes two brackets arranged on the left and right, two liftable insert arms 3, a magnetic weight 2, and an electromagnet 4 are all located between the two brackets, and an electric push rod 5 is horizontally arranged on the top of one of the brackets.
[0044] The working process of this invention is as follows:
[0045] In the initial state, the limiting block 13 is connected to the limiting groove 8. At this time, the controller 12 receives a weak infrared reflection signal from the reflective infrared sensor 11 and controls the electromagnet 4 to be in the off state. During use, if the belt scale vibrates too much, causing the limiting block 13 to disengage from the limiting groove 8, resulting in a misalignment between the magnetic weight 2 and the two insert arms 3, and the spring 10 is in a compressed state, the infrared reflection signal received by the controller 12 is significantly enhanced under the action of the diffuse reflection surface 14 on one side of the limiting block 13. At this time, the controller 12 controls the electromagnet 4 to turn on and controls the electric push rod 5 to move the electromagnet 4 horizontally closer to the magnetic weight 2 in front, so that the limiting block 13 and the limiting groove 8 are connected again. The infrared reflection signal received by the controller 12 is greatly weakened under the action of the light-absorbing layer. At this time, the controller 12 controls the electromagnet 4 to turn off and lose its magnetism. After the position is adjusted, the magnetic weight 2 can be smoothly brought into the weighing tray below by the liftable insert arms 3. The insert arms 3 are raised and lowered by an electric screw.
[0046] This invention proposes an automatic static calibration device for a static belt scale. By controlling the on / off state of an electromagnet, vertical drive control is eliminated, greatly simplifying the structure for resetting the magnetic weights. Furthermore, the controller simplifies the control process by controlling both the electromagnet and the electric push rod. The device utilizes a reflective infrared sensor, a diffuse reflective surface, and a light-absorbing layer to determine the engagement state between the limit block and the limit groove, allowing for timely de-energization and energization of the electromagnet to prevent lateral pulling on the spring.
[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
