Abstract
A weighing device includes a bearing plate and at least three weighing units distributed at non-linear intervals on a lower plate surface of the bearing plate. The at least three weighing units stably support the bearing plate. A central portion of the bearing plate is oriented downwards. The central portion forms a load region for carrying a load. Flanges are formed on the ends of the central portion, with the flanges being configured to be attached to the weighing units. Under maximum load, the lower plate surface of the load region is not lower than the contact points of the weighing units with the ground surface.
Claims20
A weighing device for measuring a weight of a load, the weighing device comprising:
- a bearing plate with upper and lower plate surfaces, the bearing plate comprising:
- a load region for receiving the load, wherein the load is placed on the upper plate surface of the load region;
- two or more connector regions extending angularly from the load region;
- two or more flanges, each of the two or more flanges extending angularly from one of the two or more connector regions;
- and
- at least three weighing units distributed among the two or more flanges and adapted to support the bearing plate on a ground surface, wherein each of the at least three weighing units comprises an elastic plate extending from one of the two or more flanges, and wherein each of the at least three weighing units is configured to convert a detected degree of deformation caused by the load on the load region into electrical signals corresponding to the weight of the load;
- wherein the upper plate surface of the load region is lower than the elastic plate of each of the at least three weighing units.
