DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, a folding weighing scale of the invention is described in detail below. In the invention, the first and second steel frames are all made of magnesium-aluminum alloy. The insides of the first and second steel frames are hollow for arranging the conductors of the first pressure sensors, second pressure sensors, power supply box and display. The model of the first and second pressure sensors is CZL913AB. The power supply box requires two batteries inside, and the load-bearing plate can be made of materials such as canvas, special glass and metal panel. The batteries, switch button and display form an overall control circuit through an integrated circuit board. The integrated circuit board can be set inside the first steel frame, and the switch button can be arranged for the sake of easy operation.

[0025] The principle of using the display, first pressure sensors and second pressure sensors for weighing is well known and a detailed description is omitted herein for the sake of brevity.

[0026] The folding weighing scale comprises a first steel frame 1, a second steel frame 2, connecting rods 3 fixed at the bottoms of the first steel frame 1 and second steel frame 2, first pressure sensors 4 fixed at the ends of the connecting rods 3 away from the first frame 1, second pressure sensors 5 fixed at the ends of the connecting rods 3 away from the second frame 2, a display 6 fixed by screws on the first steel frame 1 and a power supply box 7 fixed by screws on the first steel frame 1. The display 6, first pressure sensors 4 and second pressure sensors 5 are powered by the batteries inside the power supply box 7. A switch button 8 is connected to one side of the power supply box 7. The switch button 8 is fixed by screws on the first steel frame 1. A rotating connection component 9 is used between the first steel frame 1 and second steel frame 2. The rotating connection component 9 includes a first connector 10 that is locked for rotating inside the first steel frame 1 and a second connector 11 that is fixed on the second steel frame 2. The part between the first connector 10 and second connector 11 can rotate and is detachable. The switch button 8 can be used for turning on the power supply box 7 to supply power.

[0027] When in use, connect the first steel frame 1 with the second steel frame 2 through the rotating connection component 9 set in the middle. Insert the first connector 10 into the first steel frame 1, at this time, make a butt joint between the first connector 10 and second connector 11, and rotate the first connector 10 for the sake of easy insertion. Move the slider 14 to make the slider 14 slides along the through-groove 13. With the sliding of the slider 14, the connecting plate 15 and pin 16 will be driven by the slider 14 to move. Insert the pin 16 along the waist-groove 18 of the fixing rod 17 on the second connector 11, and gradually extend it into the through-slot 19 of the other fixing rod 17. At this time, hold the fixing blocks 21 to make the pin 16 pass through the through-slot 19 smoothly. After passing through it, due to the V-groove 20 at the front end of the pin 16, when loosening the two fixing blocks 21, the two fixed blocks 21 can automatically expand, preventing the pin 16 from sliding out of the through-slot 19. At this time, the assembly is completed.

[0028] The second pressure sensors 5 are connected to a first conductor 26. The first conductor 26 is placed inside the second steel frame 2 and extends along the second connector 11. The extended end is fixed with a terminal 27, and the first steel frame 1 is also provided with a second conductor 28. The second conductor 28 extends along the groove 12 inside the first connector 10, and the extended end is locked with the terminal 27. The second conductor 28 is connected to the display 6. While connecting the first connector 10 and second connector 11, the first conductor 26 can be connected to the second conductor 28, and the used terminal 27 is similar to the network cable connector and can be used for locking connection.

[0029] At this time, by pressing down the switch button 8, the display 6, first pressure sensors 4 and second pressure sensors 5 can be simultaneously turned on. Energize the conductive coil 23. The aluminum rod 22 will be magnetic under the energized conductive coil 23 and adsorbed to the aluminum-iron-boron magnet block 24 in the middle of the second connector 11. Fix the first steel frame 1 and second steel frame 2 completely. Then, place the object to be weighed directly on the load-bearing plate 25. The obtained pressure value will be transmitted to the display 6 through the two first pressure sensors 4 and two second pressure sensors 5 to complete the weighing.

[0030] When folding, turn off the power supply box 7 through the switch button 8. At this time, the conductive coil does not generate a magnetic field since being no longer energized. The second connector 11 and the first connector 10 are no longer fixed, so they can rotate along the pin 16 to fold the entire weighing scale; If the folded weighing scale is too thick during carrying, it can also be detached. While holding the two fixed blocks 21, move the slider 14 to make the pin 16 gradually move out of the through-slot 19 and waist-groove 18. At this time, the first steel frame 1 and second steel frame 2 are disconnected and can be carried separately, providing users with multiple choices.

[0031] While the invention has been described in terms of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modifications within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
