Abstract
A strip scale suitable for use in connection with high speed, in motion weighing applications. The scale has a base, a load cell, a compliant member, and a platform. Also disclosed are load cells for use with the scale, and systems and methods for using the scales.
Claims20
A scale comprising, a base for placement on a surface, the base having an elongated configuration, at least one load cell communicatively connected to the base, a platform disposed over the base, the platform being communicatively connected to the at least one load cell, and at least one compliant member disposed between the at least one load cell and the platform.
A scale adapted to be used in electronic, in-motion, high speed weighing of vehicles or cargo passing over the scale comprising,
- a base for placement on a surface, the base having an elongated configuration,
- at least one load cell communicatively connected to the base,
- a platform disposed over the base, the platform being communicatively connected to the at least one load cell,
- at least one compliant member disposed between the at least one load cell and the platform;
- and
- at least one compliant member disposed between that at least one load cell and the base.
A scale adapted to be embedded in a roadway and used in electronic, in-motion, high speed weighing of vehicles or cargo passing over the scale comprising,
- a. a base for placement on a surface, the base having an elongated configuration,
- b. a plurality of load cells communicatively connected to the base,
- c. a platform disposed over the base, the platform being communicatively connected to the at least one load cell,
- d. at least one compliant member disposed between the at least one load cell and the platform;
- e. at least one compliant member disposed between that at least one load cell and the base;
- and
- f. at least one compliant member disposed between the load cells.
