Conventionally, there is a weighing machine that uses a single load cell in a structure where the platform is supported by a load cell, but since it is limited by the size of the platform, its applications are limited, and the height of the weighing machine must not be too low. Can not. Therefore, in order to increase the size of the mounting table, the first
The configuration shown in the figure was proposed. In the figure, 1 is a base, 2 is a mounting table, and 3 and 4 are load cells. At first glance, it seems that this configuration can be easily manufactured by simply arranging the load cells 3 and 4 side by side, but the two load cells may interfere with each other due to horizontal force, resulting in poor accuracy, or the load cells 3 and 4 , 4 is known to cause problems such as damage. Moreover, since the product value of the roberval part of the parallel gram type load cell is set to a certain value, the height of the weighing machine becomes large. Separately, load cells 8 are installed at each of the four corners of the base 5, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, in order to make the size of the platform sufficiently large in proportion to the load. A structure that supports the mounting table 6 is manufactured. In the figure, 7 is a wire rope.
This configuration is a flexible wire rope 7
Due to the relative strain that occurs between the platform 6 and the four load cells 8 by supporting the platform 6,
In other words, the interference of forces between the load cells due to mounting errors or distortion of the mounting table is removed. Therefore, products with this configuration also tend to be large in height, have a complicated structure, require skill for adjustment, are expensive to manufacture, and are suitable for use with small loads such as 3 to 5 kg. There is a problem that makes it unsuitable for capacity weighing machines.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a weighing machine that can have a smaller height than conventional weighing machines, has a simple configuration, and can perform highly accurate weighing.

In this weighing machine, load cells 21 and 22,
Since the load cells 23 and 24 are formed integrally and continuously by processing one block material, respectively, the load cells 21 and 22 and the load cells 23 and 24 are in the state before being assembled to the base 20 and the mounting table 25. It is constructed in such a way that almost no internal forces that would interfere with each other are generated. In addition, in a weighing machine completed by assembling this load cell, the base 2
0, strain is generated on one or both of the mounting tables 25, and the horizontal force generated by the strain is applied to each load cell 2.
1, 22, 23, 24, but the force in the X-X' axis direction generated by processing and assembly as shown in FIG.
24c, the bending resistance due to the force in the X-X' axis direction is extremely small, so the stress detection parts 21b, 22b, 23b, 24 are bent.
No interfering force is transmitted to the second flat part 2, and the force in the Y-Y' axis direction generated by machining and assembly is transferred to the second flat part 2.
1d, 22d, 23d, and 24d, the bending resistance in the Y-Y' axis direction of that portion is extremely small, so that the stress detection portions 21b and 24d are bent.
No interfering force is transmitted to 22b, 23b, and 24b. In weight measurement, the load due to the object to be weighed placed on the platform 25 is transferred to the convex portion 37 of the platform 25.
Load parts 21e, 22e, 2 of the load cell via
3e and 24e, but the horizontal interference force due to distortion of one or both of the base 20 and the platform 25 that occurs at that time is the same as above due to the presence of the first flat part and the second flat part. The stress detection parts 21b, 22b, 23b, 24 of each load cell are
Since the stress is not transmitted to each stress detection section 21b, 2
Only the load in the Z-Z' axis direction (vertical direction) as shown in the figure acts on 2b, 23b, and 24b.
Stable measurement values can be obtained. Of course, against the load in the Z-Z' axis direction, the first flat parts 21c, 22c,
23c, 24c have sufficient thickness in the load direction, and the second flat parts 21d, 22d, 23d, 24
d is adapted to receive a tensile load, so the load can be reliably applied to the stress detection parts 21b, 22b, 23b,
24b, respectively.

Furthermore, with this structure of the load cell, the nonlinearity of the load cell can be improved, so that weight measurement can be performed with higher precision. To briefly explain this point regarding one load cell 21, as shown in FIG. 7, when the force application point 40 and the elastic neutral axis 41 are aligned, displacements x and δ 1 are generated which increase as the load increases. Considering the moment from the bonding position of the strain gauge, the moment arm length changes from l to l - δ 1 , so the relationship between moment value M and load W is as shown by the dotted line in Figure 9. becomes a convex curve E1 . Therefore, the output characteristics of the load cell are also approximately the same as the curve E1 . Furthermore, if the force application point 40 is located above the elastic neutral axis 41 and separated by a distance e as shown in FIG. 8, then the moment arm length l becomes l + δ 2 when a load is applied.
Therefore, the relationship between the moment value M and the load W is the 9th
This results in an upwardly concave curve E 2 as shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure. The output characteristic of the load cell in this case is curve E 2
It is almost the same as. From this, the point of force application of the load 4
By appropriately selecting the offset dimension e between the elastic neutral axis 41 and the elastic neutral axis 41, each load cell can be made close to the ideal characteristic straight line E shown by the solid line in FIG. In the weighing machine having the configuration of the above embodiment in which the above-mentioned dimension e was appropriately determined, a nonlinearity of 1/10000 was obtained as a weighing machine.

In the weighing machine described above, the first and second flat parts can be formed relatively compactly, and in particular, the thickness dimension does not need to be larger than the height dimension of the load cell, and as a weighing machine, the height dimension is significantly smaller than that of conventional weighing machines. can be made lower. Specifically, in this prototype, the total height from the bottom of the base to the top of the platform was 25 mm. In addition, the precision has been improved,
Although it has a compact structure, it prevents unnecessary bending or deflection from acting on the stress detection part of the load cell even if the mounting table is enlarged in the front and back and left and right directions.
In other words, since no load is placed on the weighing machine to particularly increase its rigidity, it is possible to freely design a weighing machine with a large platform.
