Abstract
A tension measurement device includes: a pair of rotatable first support rollers; a pressing portion arranged to face a midpoint between the pair of first support rollers; and a load cell capable of measuring a load applied to the pressing portion, and is capable of measuring a tension by clamping a lashing belt between the pair of first support rollers and the pressing portion. A pair of rotatable second support rollers is arranged to face the pair of first support rollers.
Claims13
A tension measurement device comprising:
- a pair of rotatable first support rollers;
- a pressing portion arranged to face a midpoint between the pair of first support rollers;
- a pair of rotatable second support rollers arranged to face the pair of rotatable first support rollers;
- and
- a load cell capable of measuring a load applied to the pressing portion,
- the tension measurement device being capable of measuring a tension of a measurement target by clamping the measurement target between the pair of rotatable first support rollers and the pressing portion, wherein
- on a same side of the measurement target as the pair of rotatable first support rollers, the tension measurement device is devoid of rollers between a first one of the pair of rotatable first support rollers and the pressing portion and between a second one of the pair of rotatable first support rollers and the pressing portion,
- the pressing portion protrudes, with respect to a phantom line connecting the pair of second support rollers to each other, toward the pair of first support rollers, and
- a positional relationship between the pressing portion and the pair of second support rollers is constant wherein the pair of first support rollers is rotatably supported in a first casing, the pair of second support rollers is rotatably supported in a second casing, and the tension measurement device is capable of measuring the tension of the measurement target by clamping the measurement target between the first and second casings.
