摘要:
A method of manufacturing individual strain sensors (20) each comprised of a generally rectangular substrate (21) having first and second major surfaces opposite to each other, a strain detecting element (23) formed on the first major surface of the substrate and having at least one pair of strain sensing areas (23a), and a pair of grooves (24) defining respective areas (21a) of low rigidity and formed in the second major surface of the substrate (21) at respective locations adjacent the opposite ends of the substrate (21) while extending across the width of the substrate with the strain sensing areas (23a) of the strain detecting element (23) positioned in register with the respective grooves (24). The strain sensors (20) are prepared from a single plate material (30) of any suitable size having first and second surfaces opposite to each other and eventually forming respective substrates (21) of the individual strain sensors (20). A plurality of spaced groove segments (31) are formed on the second surface of the plate material (30) so as to extend parallel to each other, and a plurality of strain detecting elements (23) are subsequently formed on the first surface of the plate material (30) in a substantially matrix pattern so as to assume a predetermined positional relationship with respective positions of the groove segments (31). Thereafter, the plate material (30) is cut along cutting lines (b) extending in two different directions to separate the individual strain sensors (20).
摘要:
A load cell utilizable in a weighing apparatus. The load cell is fabricated by forming a strain gauge pattern (4) of a copper-nickel alloy on a surface of a strain inducing element (1) by the use of a sputtering technique and subsequently heat-treating the strain gauge pattern under an oxygen-free atmosphere, wherein the weight ratio of copper and nickel is chosen to be of a value effective to permit the temperature dependent coefficient of resistance of the strain gauge pattern (4), which undergoes shrinkage and expansion together with the strain inducing element (1), to be substantially zero. In this way, the load cell can be obtained which is not affected by a change in temperature and which gives a high measurement precision.
摘要:
A weighing device has not only a scale cell which weighs an object and outputs a weight signal indicative of the measured weight value but also a vibration-detecting load cell for detecting the vibrations of the floor to which the scale cell is set such that the effects of the floor vibrations can be subtracted from the weight value detected by the scale cell. The vibration-detecting load cell has attenuation-adjusting members adhesively attached to strain-generating parts of its load-sensitive element such that the attenuation constant of the load cell is thereby increased at least by a factor of 2. The usable dynamic range of the load cell can thus be increased while the load cell is kept compact. Butyl rubber members can be used for this purpose.
摘要:
A load cell has a cantilever-type load-sensitive element with an upper beam and a lower beam, each having formed thereon a pair of strain-generating parts which generates a strain corresponding to an applied load. Only one of these two beams has an indented part formed on its surface and strain-detecting elements are attached to its bottom surface at positions corresponding to the strain-generating parts. A moisture-proof sheet is attached to the beam to completely seal the interior of this indented part to protect the strain-detecting elements from humidity and moisture.
