Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of instrumentation technology, specifically a fully enclosed waterproof weighing instrument structure. Background Technology

[0002] Weighing instruments are widely used in material weighing and measurement across various fields such as industrial production and logistics. However, in certain special working environments, such as damp warehouses, outdoor open-air work sites, and seafood processing workshops, weighing instruments are highly susceptible to moisture corrosion. Traditional weighing instrument structures often employ sealing strips and screw fastening for protection, but this sealing method has several drawbacks. On the one hand, sealing strips age and deform after prolonged use, leading to a decrease in sealing performance. This allows moisture to easily seep into the instrument, damaging electronic components, affecting the normal operation of the weighing instrument, and increasing maintenance costs. On the other hand, screw-fastened structures have gaps, and when external environmental changes cause vibrations or impacts, the screws may loosen, also reducing waterproof performance. Furthermore, in harsh environments with high dust levels, ordinary sealing structures are insufficient to prevent dust from entering the instrument, affecting its lifespan and measurement accuracy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a weighing instrument structure with high waterproof performance to meet the needs of special working environments. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a structural diagram of a fully enclosed waterproof weighing instrument. The fully enclosed waterproof weighing instrument includes: an instrument housing 1, which comprises an upper housing 101 and a lower housing 102. The upper housing 101 covers the lower housing 102. The upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102 have a welding mating part 5 at their open ends, and the welding mating parts 5 of the upper housing 101 and lower housing 102 are welded together. By welding the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102 together through the welding mating parts 5, the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102 can be firmly welded together to form a fully enclosed instrument housing 1. The upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102 are connected by continuous welding.

[0024] This invention achieves a fully enclosed connection between the upper and lower shells through welding, eliminating the gaps and interfaces present in traditional sealing methods and fundamentally preventing moisture infiltration.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the welding mating part 5 on the upper housing 101 and the welding mating part 5 on the lower housing 102 adopt a stepped welding mating. Both the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102 are made of stainless steel. Specifically, the thickness of the welding mating part 5 on the upper housing 101 is less than the opening end of the upper housing 101, and the welding mating part 5 on the lower housing 102 is tapered inwards. The use of a stepped welding mating part and high-strength stainless steel, combined with laser welding, gives the instrument housing high structural strength and stability, enabling it to withstand certain external impacts and vibrations and adapt to complex working environments.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102 can be laser welded together along the welding mating part 5 using a laser welding device. By precisely controlling parameters such as laser power and welding speed, the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102 can be firmly welded together to form a fully enclosed instrument housing 1.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a wiring port 4 is provided on the side wall of the lower housing 102, and a waterproof connector 401 is provided on the wiring port 4.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a display screen mainboard 2 is disposed inside the instrument housing 1. The display screen mainboard 2 is fixedly mounted on the upper housing 101. The operation button surface 3 is mounted on the corresponding position on the front end face of the upper housing 101. Waterproof adhesive 6 can be used between the operation button surface 3 and the upper housing 101. The display screen mainboard is embedded in a pre-set display screen mounting groove on the front end face of the upper housing 101. The operation button surface is protected from the inside and outside by the waterproof adhesive, ensuring the waterproof performance of the operation buttons.

[0029] This utility model features waterproof sealing structures on the control buttons and wiring ports, forming a comprehensive waterproof system that enables the weighing instrument to operate stably in humid and wet environments. The fully enclosed structure not only provides waterproofing but also effectively prevents dust from entering the instrument, avoiding damage to electronic components, extending the instrument's lifespan, and ensuring measurement accuracy. By effectively preventing the intrusion of moisture and dust, the probability of electronic components being damaged by moisture and dust accumulation is reduced, lowering maintenance frequency, extending the overall lifespan of the weighing instrument, and reducing operating costs.

[0030] During manufacturing, when laser welding the fully enclosed waterproof weighing instrument structure, the welding mating part 5 of the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102 is first cleaned to ensure that the welding surface is clean and free of impurities. Then, the display motherboard 2 is installed inside the upper housing 101, fixing the display motherboard 2 in a suitable position on the upper housing 101.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the waterproof connector 401 includes a connector body 4011, which passes through the wiring port 4. A sealing plug 4012 is fitted on the outside of the connector body 4011, and the sealing plug 4012 abuts against the bottom of the wiring port 4. A fastening nut 4013 is also installed on the outside of the connector body 4011. The fastening nut 4013 is disposed in the lower housing 102, and its bottom abuts against the lower housing 102. The fastening nut 4013 is used to fix the connector body 4011 onto the lower housing 102.

[0032] During installation, the connector body 4011 of the waterproof connector 401 is fixedly connected to the wiring port 4 on the side of the lower housing 102. After the wiring to be connected is passed through the sealing plug 4012, it is installed in a suitable position inside the connector body 4011. Then, the fastening nut 4013 is put on the outside of the connector body 4011 and tightened, so that the sealing plug 4012 tightly presses the wiring and achieves waterproof sealing of the wiring port 4.

[0033] Assemble the upper housing 101, which has the display motherboard 2, operation button surface 3, and wiring port 4 installed, and the lower housing 102. Make the welding mating parts 5 of the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102 fit together. Use laser welding equipment to perform laser welding along the welding mating parts 5. By precisely controlling the laser power, welding speed and other parameters, the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102 are firmly welded together to form a fully enclosed instrument housing 1.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the welding mating part 5 of the upper housing 101 extends outward, while the welding mating part 5 of the lower housing 102 contracts inward. The welding mating part 5 of the upper housing 101 is sleeved on the welding mating part 5 of the lower housing 102. The lower housing 102 includes a bottom and an annular portion connected to the outer edge of the bottom. The annular portion includes a connecting section and the welding mating part 5. The welding mating part 5 extends outward, while the welding mating part 5 on the lower housing 102 contracts inward. A welding position 51 is provided at the inner end of the welding mating part 5 on the upper housing 101, and the welding position 51 is located near the outer edge of the welding mating part 5 on the lower housing 102. This utility model provides a protrusion in the middle of the instrument housing 1, and the welding position 51 is located inside the upper housing 101. This avoids water accumulation on the surface of the instrument housing 1, and the welding position 51 is located at the most protruding position, which is less prone to water accumulation, further ensuring sealing. Located inside the upper housing 101, the welding position 51 effectively protects the welding interface.
