摘要:
To facilitate the adjustment of the accuracy and servicing maintenance of the electronic weighing apparatus, the weighing apparatus comprises a load cell and a signal processing circuit for processing a load signal from the load cell to provide a weight signal indicative of the load. The load cell includes a strain inducing element capable of producing strains in proportion to the load imposed thereon, and a bridge circuit, having a pair of strain gauges fixed on the stain inducing element and a plurality of resistors. A load signal is taken from a junction between the strain gauges and reference voltage signals are taken from junctions between the resistors. The load signal and the reference voltage signals are supplied to the signal processing circuit. If each of the strain gauges is employed in the form of a temperature compensating resistor having a characteristic effective to compensate for both of the temperature coefficient of thermal expansion of the strain inducing element and the temperature coefficient of the Young's modulus, the number of necessary component parts can be reduced.

A load cell is constructed with several strain gauges. Each of the strain gauges are formed with a meandering conductive portion on a substrate or base member. Portions of the meandering conductive layer defines a predetermined tab ratio. The base member is formed with a predetermined amount of filler and the tab ratio is pre-determined such that the creep characteristic of the strain gauge is substantially zero in a load cell having a generally low rated load.

The present invention is to provide a platform scale including a plurality of component force damping devices assembled therein for making high precision weighing. The platform scale for weighing an object to be weighed by supporting a support member that supports the object to be weighed by a plurality of load detection units 301,302 includes at least four component force damping devices 321˜324, each comprising an arrangement of a plurality of needle bearings disposed in parallel and a pair of opposed plates for sandwiching the arrangement of the needle bearings 63 so that the pair of plates make a relative movement in a direction of the arrangement of the needle bearings. The four component force damping devices 321˜324 are in contact with the support member at four locations that form a rectangle. Directions of the relative movement of any two component force damping devices locating at the same side of the rectangle are different, while directions of the relative movement of any two component force damping devices at diagonal locations of the rectangle are identical. Even in case of bending of the support member in any direction, the component force damping devices are able to release the horizontal component force due to such bending.

In order to increase both the weighing accuracy and the weighing speed of a weighing apparatus, a delta.multidot.sigma analog-to-digital converter (4) having a cut-off frequency higher than that of an analog filter (3) is connected with the output of the analog filter (3). Also, in order to perform a quick drift correction of an amplifier (2), the analog filter (3) is selectively switchable so as to perform a filtering function during a weighing mode and to perform a buffering function during a correction mode correcting means (52) is provided for storing the digital signal from the delta.multidot.sigma analog-to-digital converter (4) as a drift signal (df) during the correction mode and for providing a corrected digital weight signal (d2) by subtracting the drift signal (dr) from the digital weight signal (d1) obtained from the delta.multidot.sigma-type analog-to-digital converter (4) during the weighing mode.
摘要:
A multiple input signal high-speed analog-digital converter circuit for digitizing, by means of an A/D converter, an output signal from a multiplexer which successively delivers multiple input signals applied thereto. Two sample/hold circuits which receive the output signal from the multiplexer repeatedly sample and hold the signal, and a changeover switch keeps one of the sample/hold circuits on hold while the other sample/hold circuit samples the output signal from the multiplexer. While one of the sample/hold circuits is holding the signal, the other sample/hold circuit is sampling another signal so that the A/D conversion time of multiple input signals is capable of being reduced by the sampling time.

A load sensor includes a scale cell for producing an output signal corresponding to the weight of an article, and a dummy cell, provided near the scale cell, for producing a noise signal output ascribable to floor vibration. A correcting circuit extracts a signal proportional to a DC component contained in the output signal of the scale cell and, on the basis of the extracted signal, corrects the output signal of the dummy cell to the noise level of a floor vibration component of the scale cell. The corrected dummy cell noise signal is added in opposite-phase relation to the scale cell output signal, so that the floor vibration noise contained in the scale cell output signal is cancelled out by the corrected noise signal of the dummy cell.

A multi-point cell type weighing machine has a plural number of scale cells set on a floor to support a table and to output weight signals indicative of weights measured thereby of a target object placed on the table. One or more floor vibration detecting cells are set on the same floor and output floor vibration detection signals indicative of the vibrations of the floor. The weight signals are corrected on the basis of vibration components of the floor vibration detection signals. A standard weight is placed at a larger plural number of places on the table than there are scale cells and output sensitivity ratios among the scale cells are calculated from outputted values from the scale cells, and the weight signals are further corrected on the basis of the output sensitivity ratios. These weight signals are added together and the weight of the target object is obtained from the added signal. A plurality of floor vibration detecting cells may be set on the floor, each near different one of the scale cells, or they may be set anywhere on the floor and a mode of floor vibrations may calculated from their outputs. A single floor vibration detecting cell may be set between the scale cells. The table is supported by the scale cells through elastic pieces such that only vertical forces are communicated to the scale cells.

A combinational weighing system with a plurality of weighing devices employs at least three central processing units such as microprocessors. One keeps monitoring the weight information from the weighing devices and analyzes stability of weight data. Another one controls the charging and discharging of the weighing devices. The third performs combinational computation to select a combination. The system has increased flexibility regarding operation and adjustments, and allows efficient methods of zero-point and span adjustment of weighing devices. Its compact unitized input-output unit allows the user to operate the system interactively.
