Abstract

A U-shaped plate for a weighing module and a weighing module having the same are disclosed. The U-shaped plate includes an upper end surface connecting a first and second side surface, each including a bottom end and an upper portion together forming four corners of the U-shaped plate and providing an inverted U-shaped structure formed by bending a flat and straight metal sheet. A lower width of the U-shaped plate is greater than an upper width thereof. The U-shaped plate includes an opening for mounting a sensor which extends from the bottom end of the first side surface to the upper portion of the second side surface via the upper end surface. Each of the four corners provide a recessed structure. When used with a weighing module, the U-shaped plate matches the sensor. An integrated molding design overcomes defects and realizes safety and practicability.
