Abstract

A tank weighing transducer is described. In one embodiment, it comprises: a supporting ring, a cover, a gasket, a locking screw, a weighing sensor, a circuit board, a battery, a base, a supporter nut, a supporter screw, and a detachable supporter. The supporting ring and the cover are connected via the locking screw and the gasket. The weighing sensor and the circuit board are fixed on the base via the locking screw. The battery is put in a battery container on the base. The cover and the base are connected via the locking screw and the detachable supporter is fixed on the base via the supporter nut and the supporter screw. The tank weighing transducer is designed to withstand load for a long period, and has a good impact resistance. In addition, the tank weighing transducer is applicable for weighing the tank automatically for the long period.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A tank weighing transducer, comprising:
a supporting ring, a cover, a gasket, a locking screw, a weighing sensor, a circuit board, a battery, a base, a supporter nut, a supporter screw, and a detachable supporter, wherein the supporting ring and the cover are connected via the locking screw and the gasket, the weighing sensor and the circuit board are fixed on the base via the locking screw, the battery is disposed on the base, the cover and the base are connected via the locking screw to form a weigher, and the detachable supporter is fixed on the base via the supporter nut and the supporter screw.

2. The tank weighing transducer as recited in claim 1 , wherein the weigher is received in a space provided in a bottom of a tank.

3. The tank weighing transducer as recited in claim 1 , wherein the circuit board is adapted for sending out weight data via a wireless module provided on the circuit board in such a manner that a weight of a tank is monitored continuously for a period.

4. The tank weighing transducer, as recited in claim 3 , wherein the circuit board is programmed to detect the weight of the tank regularly at different intervals or detect the weight continuously.

5. A method for assembling a tank weighing transducer, comprising:
connecting a supporting ring and a cover via a locking screw and a gasket;
fixing a weighing sensor and a circuit board on a base via the locking screw;
disposing a battery on the base;
connecting the cover with the base via the locking screw to form a weigher; and
fixing a detachable supporter on the base via a supporter nut and a supporter screw.

6. The method for assembling the tank weighing transducer, as recited in claim 5 , wherein the weigher is received in a space provided in a bottom of a tank.

7. The method for assembling the tank weighing transducer as recited in claim 5 , wherein the circuit is adapted for sending out weight data weight data via a wireless module provided on the circuit board in such a manner that a weight of a tank is monitored continuously for a period.

8. The method for assembling the tank weighing transducer as recited in claim 7 , wherein the circuit board is programmed to detect the weight of the tank regularly at different intervals or detect the weight continuously.
