Digital load cell with redundancy design

Abstract

The present invention provides a digital load cell with redundancy design, the digital load cell including: at least one force measuring element that measures a load force applied to the digital load cell, where each force measuring element converts the load force into one analog signal; and one or more analog-to-digital conversion modules, where each force measuring element is connected to at least one analog-to-digital conversion module, and the analog-to-digital conversion module converts the analog signal into a digital signal. According to the digital load cell of the present invention, redundancy design is provided at least for both the force measuring element and the analog-to-digital conversion module, which can effectively ensure the proper operation of the digital load cell.
