Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of weighing modules, and in particular to a weighing module with a horizontal limiting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional view of a horizontal limiting mechanism in the prior art. Figure 2 This is a front view of a horizontal limiting mechanism in the prior art. (Example:) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the field of weighing modules, the existing horizontal limit mechanism is mostly composed of a standard spherical bearing 100, an intermediate connecting rod 200, and two tightening nuts 300.

[0003] The cylindrical front ends of the two spherical bearings 100 are threaded, with one side having a left-hand thread and the other a right-hand thread. During installation, first rotate the intermediate connecting rod 200 to adjust the spherical bearings 100 to a certain position, and then tighten the tightening nuts 300 on both sides to complete the installation.

[0004] However, the biggest problem with this existing structure is the difficulty and uncertainty of debugging.

[0005] In theory, after the horizontal limit mechanism is installed, there should be a certain amount of clearance or freedom of movement to ensure that it maintains a certain degree of mobility while limiting the horizontal position, preventing the entire weighing system from becoming too rigid and affecting measurement accuracy. However, it is currently difficult to determine the appropriate position or clearance for existing horizontal limit mechanisms in operation.

[0006] Furthermore, it's difficult to pinpoint the correct position for the intermediate link. When rotating the intermediate link, the joint bearings on both sides either retract towards the center simultaneously or expand outwards simultaneously. It's challenging to determine if the joint bearings are in the correct position.

[0007] Currently, the standard requirement is that the spherical bearing should be able to move slightly after tightening. However, if the spherical bearing can still move at this point, this slight movement will disappear after the nut is tightened. Therefore, it is often difficult for operators to properly rotate the intermediate connecting rod and tighten the nut.

[0008] In view of this, the applicant inventor designed a horizontal limiting mechanism for a weighing module in order to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0066] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail, examples of which are shown in the drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numerals will be used in all the drawings to denote the same or similar parts.

[0067] Furthermore, although the terminology used in this invention is selected from commonly known and used terms, some terms mentioned in this specification may have been selected by the applicant in his or her judgment, and their detailed meanings are explained in the relevant sections of the description herein.

[0068] Furthermore, it is required that this utility model be understood not only through the actual terminology used, but also through the meaning implied by each term.

[0069] Example 1:

[0070] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, this utility model discloses a weighing module with a horizontal limiting mechanism, which includes a horizontal limiting mechanism 10, a top plate 20, and a bottom plate 30. The horizontal limiting mechanism 10 includes a first horizontal connecting rod 11 and a second horizontal connecting rod 12. A first joint bearing 13 is provided at one end of the first horizontal connecting rod 11, connecting the first joint bearing 13 to the top plate 20. A second joint bearing 14 is provided at one end of the second horizontal connecting rod 12, connecting the second joint bearing 14 to the bottom plate 30. The first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the second horizontal connecting rod 12 are tightly connected by at least one connecting member, and the distance between the first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the second horizontal connecting rod 12 can be adjusted in the horizontal position.

[0071] like Figure 7 As shown, the first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the second horizontal connecting rod 12 are structurally matched, and two identical first joint bearings 13 and second joint bearings 14 are located on the left and right sides, respectively. They are connected to the top plate 20 and the bottom plate 30 of the weighing module. After the first joint bearings 13 and 14 are connected to the weighing module, a relative position exists between them. By directly tightening them at this position using a constraint and clamping device, the installation of the horizontal limiting mechanism 10 can be completed. The initial relative position between the first joint bearings 13 and 14 provides initial clearance, which can provide the necessary clearance for slight movement after the entire assembly is completed.

[0072] See again Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, preferably, at least one elongated first connecting hole 111 is provided on the first horizontal connecting rod 11. At least one elongated second connecting hole 121 is provided on the second horizontal connecting rod 12. When the first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the second horizontal connecting rod 12 are connected, the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 121 are aligned vertically and tightly connected by the connector.

[0073] Here, the connecting member can preferably include a tightening bolt 15 and a tightening nut 16. The tightening bolt 15 is inserted into the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 121 and fixed by the tightening nut 16. This facilitates the adjustment of the total length of the horizontal limiting mechanism and can very conveniently complete horizontal positioning and limiting.

[0074] Of course, the connecting member can also be other components or structures, as long as the first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the second horizontal connecting rod 12 can be tightened together. For example, hose clamps, clamps, etc. can all achieve the function of tightening together, and are all within the protection scope of this application.

[0075] Since the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 121 are elongated (for example, the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 121 are preferably oblong holes), the connection position of the nut 16 in the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 121 can be adjusted and tightened by pulling the first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the second horizontal connecting rod 12 at both ends.

[0076] This structure eliminates the need for traditional nut rotation for position adjustment. Instead, it directly uses the relative position between the first horizontal link 11 and the second horizontal link 12 for fastening and constraint, and facilitates horizontal position adjustment. For example, the horizontal position between the first horizontal link 11 and the second horizontal link 12 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the connector (e.g., tightening the nut 16) within the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 121 (e.g., a slotted hole).

[0077] Specifically, in the horizontal limiting mechanism of the weighing module of this application, the plane passing through the center of the first joint bearing 13 and the plane passing through the center of the second joint bearing 14 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0078] For example, in this embodiment, a first bending portion 112 is provided on the first horizontal link 11, and a second bending portion 122 is provided on the second horizontal link 12, so that the first horizontal link 11 and the second horizontal link 12 overlap vertically.

[0079] As described above, the first horizontal link 11 and the second horizontal link 12 are not straight, but have a bending angle (e.g., having a first bend and a second bend). This structure can keep the center planes of the first joint bearings 13 located on the left and right sides on the same plane, and will not generate a vertical component force.

[0080] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first horizontal connecting rod 11 is provided with a first bending portion 112, and the second horizontal connecting rod 12 is provided with a second bending portion 122. The purpose is to ensure that the friction contact surface A between the first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the second horizontal connecting rod 12 is kept on the same horizontal plane as the rod end tension B of the first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the rod end tension C of the second horizontal connecting rod 12, thereby avoiding the generation of vertical forces that affect the metering performance.

[0081] Furthermore, a surface roughness enhancement process can be selectively added to the overlapping surfaces of the first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the second horizontal connecting rod 12, such as surface heat treatment or knurling 17 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 (as shown in the image) etc.

[0082] Of course, the above-mentioned first bending portion 112 and second bending portion 122 are only examples. The first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the second horizontal connecting rod 12 do not necessarily need to be bent. Any other form that can keep the center planes of the first joint bearing 13 and the second joint bearing 14 on the same horizontal plane is acceptable and is within the protection scope of this application.

[0083] Example 2:

[0084] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that: in order to ensure that the center planes of the first joint bearing 13 and the second joint bearing 14 in the horizontal limiting mechanism of the weighing module of this application are on the same horizontal plane. In this embodiment, the horizontal limiting mechanism 10 may also include an intermediate connector 40, which connects the first end of the intermediate connector 40 to the other end 113 of the first horizontal connecting rod 11, and the second end of the intermediate connector 40 to the other end 123 of the second horizontal connecting rod 12.

[0085] Preferably, at least one elongated third connecting hole 41 (e.g., a waist-shaped hole) is provided at the first end of the intermediate connector 40, and at least one first adjusting hole 114 is provided at the other end of the first horizontal connecting rod 11. The third connecting hole 41 and the first adjusting hole 114 are aligned vertically and connected by the connector. At least one elongated fourth connecting hole 42 (e.g., a waist-shaped hole) is provided at the second end of the intermediate connector 40, and at least one second adjusting hole 124 is provided at the other end of the second horizontal connecting rod 12. The fourth connecting hole 42 and the second adjusting hole 124 are aligned vertically and connected by the connector.

[0086] More preferably, a groove 43 is provided between the first end and the second end of the intermediate connector 40, and the third connecting hole 41 and the fourth connecting hole 42 pass through the intermediate connector 40 vertically, so that the other end 113 of the first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the other end 123 of the second horizontal connecting rod 12 are respectively inserted into the corresponding groove 43.

[0087] Here, the connecting member can preferably include a tightening bolt 15 and a tightening nut 16. The tightening bolt 15 is inserted into the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 121 and fixed by the tightening nut 16. This facilitates the adjustment of the total length of the horizontal limiting mechanism and can very conveniently complete horizontal positioning and limiting.

[0088] Of course, the connecting member can also be other components or structures, as long as the first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the second horizontal connecting rod 12 can be tightened together. For example, hose clamps, clamps and other structures can achieve the function of tightening together, and all are within the protection scope of this application.

[0089] During installation, the other end 113 of the first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the other end 123 of the second horizontal connecting rod 12 are respectively inserted into the corresponding grooves 43. The third connecting hole 41 and the first adjusting hole 114 are aligned vertically, and the fourth connecting hole 42 and the second adjusting hole 124 are aligned vertically. The tightening bolts 15 pass through the third connecting hole 41 and the first adjusting hole 114, the fourth connecting hole 42 and the second adjusting hole 124 respectively, thereby realizing the connection between the intermediate connecting piece 40 and the first horizontal connecting rod 11 and the second horizontal connecting rod 12.

[0090] As described above, in the structure of this embodiment, there must be no gap between the connector (e.g., tightening bolt 15) and the first adjustment hole 114 and the second adjustment hole 124 to ensure that only a small displacement of the clearance is allowed during operation. There must be a gap between the connector and the third connection hole 41 and the fourth connection hole 42 (e.g., waist-shaped hole) of the intermediate connector 40 to facilitate simple positioning during initial installation.

[0091] Of course, the aforementioned intermediate connector 40 is merely an example. Any other form that can keep the center planes of the first joint bearing 13 and the second joint bearing 14 on the same horizontal plane is also acceptable and is within the scope of protection of this application.

[0092] In summary, the weighing module with a horizontal limiting mechanism of this invention has a simple structure, greatly reducing the complexity of installation and debugging. Horizontal position adjustment can be performed without threaded rotation; it can be directly tightened from the initial position, easily achieving accurate installation. The horizontal limiting mechanism can ensure the stability of the weighing module under dynamic operating conditions. The horizontal limiting mechanism can constrain the radial displacement of the weighing module, thereby improving the measurement accuracy under radial deformation such as thermal expansion and contraction.
