Components and future development trends of electronic truck scales

A truck scale is a large-scale weighing scale used by factories, mines, and businesses to weigh bulk goods. It is mainly used to weigh the weight of a vehicle's cargo. Before the 1980s, common truck scales were generally mechanical scales that used a purely mechanical structure based on the principle of a lever, also known as mechanical weighing scales. In the mid-1980s, as weighing sensor technology matured, mechanical weighing scales were gradually replaced by electronic truck scales that were more accurate, more stable, and easier to operate. As a result, electronic truck scales became the mainstream of the truck scale market.

The so-called electronic truck scale is usually composed of three parts: load carrier (scale body), load conversion mechanism (weighing sensor) and load measurement device (weighing display instrument or weighing display). These three parts can complete the basic weighing function of the truck scale. In addition, according to the different requirements of users, the electronic truck scale can also be connected with a variety of devices, such as printers, large-screen displays, computers, etc., to complete various functions. Moreover, through external devices, it can also enter the enterprise's data manufacturing management system to meet the needs of higher-level data management and transmission.

With the development of the national economy, the technology of electronic truck scales has been rapidly improved. Generally speaking, the development process of electronic weighing technology is from static weighing to dynamic weighing, from analog measurement to digital measurement, and from single parameter measurement to multi-parameter measurement. In particular, the research and application of rapid weighing and dynamic weighing have become inevitable for the development of weighing technology. The acceleration of industrialization, the increase in total demand, and especially the demand for a new generation of weighing technology and application products have brought many development opportunities to the weighing industry. The demand differences between different companies are becoming more and more significant, and higher requirements are put forward for expanding the application field of weighing instruments. From the theory of "value chain", it is a trend for buyers to emphasize "value-added services" in the future. Solutions and services to solve a certain problem and providing weighing technology and applications have become the key to the existence and development of the weighing industry.

The development history of electronic truck scales is a testament to this law. With the development of science and technology, electronic truck scales have evolved from analog to digital, from static to dynamic. my country's electronic truck scale technology has reached the world's advanced level. The penetration and application of digital technology have made electronic truck scales more powerful, and their share of vehicles has increased year by year. Moreover, with the continuous expansion of application fields, the types of electronic truck scales are becoming more and more diverse. In recent years, with the full implementation of the work of managing overload and over-limit in the transportation field, highway truck weight charging as an effective measure is being recognized and accepted by people. Because it is directly involved in trade settlement, dynamic truck scales as key weighing equipment have attracted much attention. Because it accommodates digital technology, electronic technology, and computer software technology, it is widely used while also continuously improving its applicability, practicality, and accuracy.
