摘要: A weigh platter assembly includes a weigh platter and a parallax based off-platter detection assembly having a light emission assembly, a light detection assembly, and a controller. The light emission assembly has a light source to emit a light beam along a lateral edge of the weigh platter. The light detection assembly detects at least a portion of the light beam reflected from an object extending across the light beam and includes a sensor offset from the light source and an aperture positioned in front of the sensor and configured to limit a field of view of the sensor along the lateral edge between proximal and distal edges of the weigh platter. The controller is configured to provide a first signal in response to a first value received from the sensor and to provide a second signal, different from the first signal, in response to a second value.

摘要: A method at a sensor apparatus affixed to a transportation asset. The method includes calibrating the sensor apparatus by initiating a vertical impact at the transportation asset, measuring spring oscillation and creating a model of the transportation asset. The method further includes detecting, subsequent to the calibrating, an impact event at the sensor apparatus. The method further includes measuring spring oscillation due to the impact event at the sensor apparatus and using the measured spring oscillation in the model created during calibration to create a load mass estimate for the transportation asset.

摘要: Apparatus and related methods are provided in a surface acoustic wave (SAW) scale for measuring weight of a load. A processor reads a first frequency of a SAW delay line operating in a first mode. A push oscillator injects a frequency similar to but different than the first frequency in order to cause the SAW delay line to operate in a second mode, and the processor reads a second frequency of the SAW delay line operating in the second mode. A difference between the frequencies is calculated and compared to values in a stored table to determine the first mode at which the SAW delay line was operating. Based on a determination of the first mode and the first frequency, the weight of the load is determined. This determined weight can be used to recalibrate an auxiliary weight sensor.

摘要: A method is provided for measuring an energy efficiency of a quantitative weighing device. A data measurement part is formed by: recording a control time of fast charging, recording a control time of slow charging, recording a comparison prohibition time, and recording weighing data. A current device reliability parameter, a fast charging feed flow, and a slow charging feed flow are calculated, based on the comparison prohibition time and the control time of slow charging. The fastest feed time under a requirement of a target reliability parameter is calculated as the difference between the target reliability parameter and the calculated control reliability parameter. By using the method, application data, such as capability of a quantitative control device and energy efficiency of the quantitative weighing device, can be intuitively obtained. This facilitates commissioning, maintenance, and use of the quantitative weighing control device.

摘要: A calibration weight assembly (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) has at least one calibration weight (150, 550, 750) and a transfer mechanism, and is used with a gravimetric force-measuring device (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) having a fixed region (111, 211, 311, 411, 511), a load-receiving region (112, 212, 312, 412, 512), and a measuring sensor (140, 540). The transfer mechanism has at least one poly-stable positioning element (561, 571), a first stable state of which defines a calibration position (KP) and a second stable state of which defines a resting position (RP) of the transfer mechanism. The at least one calibration weight can be coupled with the load-receiving region. The transfer mechanism, as actuated by the measuring sensor, transfers the at least one calibration weight from the calibration position to the resting position, or vice versa.

摘要: A method for remote monitoring of operating characteristics of a load cell is provided. The method includes receiving from a plurality of sensors, at a main unit, sensed data indicative of a plurality of operating characteristics of a load cell. The method continues by analyzing at a main unit the sensed data for statistical control and sending alerts to a remote computing device when sensed data of an operating characteristic is outside of a preset threshold. A system for carrying out the method is also provided. The system includes a main unit installed near a load cell, a first sub-unit coupled to a scale of the load cell in wired communication with the main unit, and at least one remote computing device in network communication with the main unit.

摘要: A high precision weighing system and weighing method has a weighing plate and weighing unit separation mechanism and a weight loading mechanism. The weighing plate and weighing unit separation mechanism controls separation of a weighing plate and a weighing unit, so that the weighing plate or the weighing plate and its carried material do not apply force to the weighing unit. The weight loading mechanism loads a weight onto the weighing unit or removes a weight from the weighing unit; the weighing system records a weighing value of the weighing unit during the action of the weighing plate and weighing unit separation mechanism and a sensitivity value during the action of the weight loading mechanism. The weighing system modifies the weighing value at the time of the most recent combination of the weighing plate and the weighing unit based on the recorded weighing and sensitivity values, achieving a high precision.
