Analytical balance with a weighing chamber having structure operating as a locking mechanism due to unique method of assembling and disassembiling components of the chamber

A weighing chamber in a shape of a transparent cuboid with sliding panels (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) assembled on structural guides (8) that are fastened using at least a single adjustable lock (13) blocking at least one panel in a way that their releasing enables sliding and disassembling the other panels. The fastening lock forms a profiled element, preferably an angle bar shaped component assembled in a detachable manner to the horizontal structural beam (8). The chamber comprises two vertical columns (6, 7) assembled at the back corners of the chamber's interior which support the chamber structure (8) comprising a horizontal beam for assembling the fastening lock and guides for holding and sliding the top and side panels using grips (9, 10, 11).

High-precision weighing module with reduced thermal gradient

An integrated high-precision weighing module has a shell, an electromagnetic force sensor, a printed circuit board (PCB), a weighing pan component, a support ring, and an air baffle ring. The electromagnetic force sensor and the PCB are mounted in the shell. A bearing head of the electromagnetic force sensor extends upward from an upper end portion of the shell. The support ring sheathes the bearing head. The weighing pan component is mounted on the bearing head, with the support ring located between the weighing pan component and the shell. The air baffle ring is disposed around the weighing pan component and located on the support ring. A first airflow channel is formed among the shell, the support ring, and the air baffle ring. At least part of airflow in the shell flows to the outside through the first airflow channel.

The windshield includes an outer windshield defining a weighing chamber, and an inner windshield disposed inside the outer windshield and covering the weighing pan, the outer windshield includes a pair of left and right sliding doors openable and closable in side surfaces, and the inner windshield is provided with an opening in a surface facing one of the sliding doors, and a shielding wall is provided at a lower portion of the opening. An air flow generated when the sliding door of the outer windshield is opened or closed moves along a floor surface of the outer windshield toward the weighing pan, but is blocked by the shielding wall and does not flow into the inside of the inner windshield.

GRAVIMETRIC MEASURING SYSTEM

A gravimetric measuring system (10) includes a balance (12) with a weighing chamber (22), surrounded by a plurality of weighing chamber walls (23, 24, 26, 28); an electromechanical weighing system (181); and an electronic control apparatus (36) controlling the system operation according to routines stored in a memory (363) thereof; and a plurality of functional modules (14, 16), configured to be inserted into module receptacles, arranged on at least one weighing chamber wall (28). The at least one weighing chamber wall (28) is designed as a carrier structure, with recesses (283) which constitute clearances occupying a majority of the wall surface and which form the module receptacles. Either the functional modules (14, 16) or diaphragms (15) without a weighing function close the recesses and are spatially adapted to the recesses.
