High-Capacity Weighing Module Integrated Pressure-Bearing Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional high-capacity weighing modules are bulky, heavy, expensive, and time-consuming to install due to their complex structure and separate accessories for anti-overturning and bottom stop functions, which complicates sensor installation and replacement.
Innovation Solution
A high-capacity weighing module design featuring a top plate weldment, pressure-bearing assembly, and bottom plate weldment with a cavity structure, incorporating detachable bolts and bolted joints for easy sensor installation and replacement, integrating anti-overturning, 360° inspection, and bottom stop functions into a single structure with a hydraulic lifting mechanism.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional high-capacity weighing module structure is used, then weighing function is achieved, but the module becomes bulky and heavy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate components (weighing sensor, anti-overturning protection, bottom stop function, lifting function) into an integrated pressure-bearing assembly structure. The upper and lower pressure-bearing heads are connected through a unified structural design that incorporates safety protection features, eliminating the need for separate accessories and reducing overall weight.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressure-bearing assembly serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides weighing measurement through the sensor, anti-overturning protection through the integrated structural design, bottom stop function through the lower pressure-bearing head configuration, and lifting capability through the hollow cylindrical structure. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components.
2Reliability
If conventional weighing module with separate accessories is used, then safety protection functions are provided, but the structure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges anti-overturning protection, bottom stop function, and lifting capability into the pressure-bearing assembly structure itself. The upper and lower pressure-bearing heads are designed as integrated components with the sensor, forming a unified structure that provides multiple safety and functional protections without requiring separate accessories.
3Reliability
If conventional weighing module installation method is used, then secure mounting is achieved, but installation and sensor replacement become time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the pressure-bearing assembly into separable components: the sensor can be independently removed from the upper and lower pressure-bearing heads. The upper pressure-bearing head is detachably connected to the top plate, and the lower pressure-bearing head is detachably connected to the bottom plate, allowing the sensor to be replaced without removing the entire assembly, thus reducing installation and maintenance time.
4Reliability
If conventional weighing module design is used, then weighing capacity is achieved, but the module becomes expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions (weighing, anti-overturning, bottom stop, lifting) into a single integrated pressure-bearing assembly structure. This reduces the total number of components needed, simplifies manufacturing processes, and lowers material costs while maintaining high weighing capacity through the column-type sensor design.

AI summary
A high-capacity weighing module has a top plate weldment (10), a bottom plate weldment (30) and a pressure-bearing assembly (20) that is between the top and bottom plate weldments. Motion between the respective top and bottom plate weldments is restricted. This structure aids in easy installation and replacement of a sensor, and integrates the functions of anti-overturning and 360° inspection, and bottom stop. This makes the weighing module much more convenient to install than a conventional high-capacity module, and has a better safety function. The weighing module has advantage in terms of a simplified product structure, reduced cost of manufacture and maintenance, uncomplicated installation procedure, and higher safety and protection.
