Hanging Scale Sensor Mounting Structure for Super-Thin Bodies
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hanging scales have a fixed internal structure that limits sensor mounting positions and require complex protective structures, making them unsuitable for super-thin designs.
Innovation Solution
A hanging scale sensor apparatus with an adapter beam and support base, connected via a limiting structure, allows adjustable installation and two-way protection, enabling flexible placement within the scale body.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the sensor is mounted on the outer side of the scale body, then the sensor can be easily accessed and mounted, but an additional external cover is needed to cover the sensor, resulting in a complicated protective structure
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter beam is integrated with the scale body structure, merging the sensor mounting function into the existing scale body framework. This eliminates the need for separate external covers and reduces structural complexity while maintaining easy sensor access and mounting capabilities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the internal structure of the hanging scale is fixed, then the structure is simple and stable, but the position of the sensor mounted therein is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter beam is designed with adjustable positioning capabilities, allowing the sensor to be mounted at different positions along the beam. This dynamic positioning system provides flexibility in sensor placement while maintaining structural stability through the adapter beam's integration with the scale body.
3Volume of moving object
If a super-thin scale body structure is used, then the scale body occupies minimal space, but existing hanging scale sensors are not suitable
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor mounting system is segmented into modular components: the adapter beam and the support base. This segmentation allows the sensor apparatus to be designed as a separate, compact unit that can be integrated into super-thin scale bodies without compromising sensor functionality or requiring excessive space.
4Reliability
If the adapter beam and support base are connected without limiting structure, then the assembly is simple, but the sensor apparatus cannot prevent overloading
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting structure includes preset limiting members (such as limiting blocks or limiting slots) that are pre-positioned between the adapter beam and support base. These members proactively prevent excessive displacement or overloading of the sensor apparatus before harmful forces can damage the sensor, thereby ensuring reliability without requiring complex active control systems.
