What is a truck scale? An analysis by Fujian Fangda Truck Scale Manufacturer
Definition and basic principles of weighbridge
A weighbridge, also known as an electronic truck scale, is a large weighing instrument used to measure the weight of vehicles and their cargo. It mainly consists of a load-bearing structure, a weighing display instrument, load cells, connectors, limit devices, a junction box, and data cables.
Digital electronic truck scales are a common type of weighbridge, employing digital technology to improve overall quality. In principle, when a vehicle drives onto the weighbridge's load-bearing platform, the platform experiences pressure from the vehicle's weight, which is transmitted to the load cells. The load cells convert this pressure into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted via a data cable to the weighing display instrument. The instrument processes and calculates the electrical signal to ultimately display the weight of the vehicle and its cargo.
Digital technology brings numerous advantages to weighbridges. In terms of digital communication technology, RS485 bus technology enables long-distance signal transmission, with a transmission distance of no less than 1000 meters and an output digital signal amplitude of 3-4V. This not only enhances anti-interference capabilities but also improves the system's lightning protection. Furthermore, the bus structure facilitates the application of multiple weighing sensors; a single system can connect up to 32 sensors. Intelligent technology prevents the use of simple circuits to alter the weighing signal magnitude. Sensor characteristic parameters can be changed according to instructions, and memory capabilities eliminate calibration issues after sensor replacement. Digital calibration technology allows for automatic completion of off-center (four-corner) calibration and range calibration in one step. It also allows modification of the range coefficient, zero-point value, sensor coefficient, and zero-point parameters as needed. Fault diagnosis technology possesses multiple capabilities, including diagnosing changes in the zero-point values of the weighbridge and sensors, communication variations, and identifying address and serial number discrepancies after sensor replacement. It can also provide prompts for various operational errors. In addition, the digital signal is password protected during transmission, effectively preventing cheating.
Weighbridge specifications and application scenarios
Weighbridges come in a variety of specifications to meet different usage needs. Their width series includes standard widths such as 3m, 3.2m, and 3.4m, and non-standard widths such as 4m, 5m, 5.5m, 6m, and 10m. Their length series includes standard widths of 6m, 7m, and 8m, and non-standard lengths such as 27m and 30m. The weighing range is from 10t to 200t, with an accuracy class of III. Specific applicable tonnage ranges include multiple levels from 10 tons, 20 tons, up to 200 tons.
Due to their wide range of specifications, weighbridges are suitable for weighing various types of heavy vehicles, offering rapid and accurate weighing, convenient operation, and simple maintenance. Installation can be done with or without a pit. In terms of application scenarios, weighbridges are widely used, covering factories, freight yards, warehouses, ports, workshops, grain depots, construction sites, and purchasing stations. They are used for weighing incoming and outgoing materials, inventory measurement, production monitoring, and data management, and are suitable for numerous industries such as metallurgy, mining, chemicals, grain, ports, and logistics. They are an ideal choice for weighing various types of trucks, trailers, semi-trailers, container trucks, dump trucks, and agricultural vehicles. For example, in ports, weighbridges can accurately weigh the cargo in container trucks, facilitating loading, unloading, and transportation arrangements; in factory workshops, they can monitor the weight of production materials in real time, ensuring production accuracy.
