Abstract

The invention relates to a monolithic parallelogram connecting rod structure, particularly for a monolithic weighing sensor, comprising two parallelogram connecting rods (9, 11) located in parallel, wherein each of the two parallelogram connecting rods (9, 11) is connected to a rigid element (3, 7) by at least one solid body joint (13a, 13b; 15a, 15b; 17a, 17b; 19a, 19b) at each of the two ends of each parallelogram connecting rod (9, 11), the four joint axes of the solid body joints (13a, 13b; 15a, 15b; 17a, 17b; 19a, 19b) being parallel and forming the vertices of a parallelogram in cross section. According to the invention, at least one end of a parallelogram connecting rod (9, 11) is connected to the related rigid element (3, 7) by at least two solid body joints (13a, 13b; 15a, 15b; 17a, 17b; 19a, 19b), wherein the longitudinal extension planes of the solid body joints encompass a non-zero angle (α, ß), the joint axes of the at least two solid body joints (13a, 13b; 15a, 15b; 17a, 17b; 19a, 19b) being aligned. The invention further relates to a weighing sensor having such a monolithic parallelogram connecting rod structure.

• G01G 21/24 - Guides or linkages for ensuring parallel motion of the weigh-pans

Abstract

A weighing device for a combination scale includes a force-sensing unit for converting a weight acting on a load sensor of the force-sensing unit into an analog electrical signal and an analog/digital converter to which the analog electrical signal is fed and which converts the analog electrical signal into a digital electrical signal. the weighing device further includes a controller for controlling the analog/digital converter and for additional digital processing of the digital values of the digital electrical signal fed to it. The weighing device has a synchronization output which is connected to the controller or to the analog/digital converter and to which a synchronization signal is fed that includes at least the information of the starting time points of the individual conversion processes performed by the analog/digital converter unit for determining a digital value of the digital electrical signal, and/or the weighing device has a synchronization input connected to the controller (13) or the analog/digital converter to which an external synchronization signal can be fed that includes at least the information of one or more desired starting time points for a conversion process to be performed by the analog/digital converter for determining a digital value of the digital electrical signal.
