Abstract
Disclosed are devices, systems and methods of use for a step with a weighing function, which includes a step body, a stepping plate, and a strain gauge. The step body has a support part, a weighing area part, a slot, and a deformation area part. The slot is arranged between the support part and the weighing area part to separate the support part and the weighing area part, and the deformation area part is connected between the support part and the weighing area part. The stepping plate is disposed on the weighing area part. The strain gauge is arranged on the deformation area part to deform along with deformation of the deformation area part
Claims20
A step with a weighing function, comprising:
- a step body having a support part, a weighing area part, a slot, and a deformation area part, wherein the slot is arranged between the support part and the weighing area part to separate the support part and the weighing area part, and wherein the deformation area part is connected between the support part and the weighing area part;
- a stepping plate arranged on the weighing area part;
- and
- a strain gauge arranged on the deformation area part to deform along with deformation of the deformation area part.
A vehicle apparatus, comprising:
- a vehicle;
- and
- a step, wherein the step is mounted on the vehicle, and the step comprises:
- a step body having a support part, a weighing area part, a slot, and a deformation area part, wherein the slot is arranged between the support part and the weighing area part to separate the support part and the weighing area part, and wherein the deformation area part is connected between the support part and the weighing area part;
- a stepping plate arranged on the weighing area part;
- and
- a strain gauge arranged on the deformation area part to deform along with deformation of the deformation area part.
