The Subversion and Innovation of Matrix Electronic Belt Scales Compared to Traditional Ones

Dynamic electronic weighing technology is playing an increasingly important role in the field of industrial bulk material measurement, and its application in modern industrial production and trade is becoming more widespread. With the development of industries such as industry, trade, and logistics, there are higher requirements for the technologies and equipment applied in these fields, especially in terms of measurement accuracy and stability. Additionally, with the advancement of science and technology, management functions centered around weighing technology are continuously being demanded, primarily to strengthen production management through weighing.

The electronic belt scale is a dynamic weighing technology that has been developed for a long time and is still a widely used dynamic measurement instrument. However, with the continuous development of technology, traditional electronic belt scales have also shown many limitations. The main issues are as follows:

(1) Low Accuracy

Due to structural and technological reasons, traditional electronic belt scales are significantly affected by their own mechanical structure and external factors, resulting in low accuracy. In optimal conditions, the accuracy can reach 0.5%, but this is no longer sufficient for many high-precision applications.

(2) Poor Long-term Stability

In many industrial settings, an accuracy of 0.5% is acceptable. However, maintaining this accuracy is a crucial performance requirement for measurement instruments. Traditional electronic belt scales have low anti-interference ability and are greatly influenced by the surrounding environment and maintenance factors, leading to poor long-term stability.

(3) High Installation and Maintenance Requirements

The frame structure of traditional electronic belt scales is relatively complex, and dust accumulation on the frame can affect measurement, resulting in significant maintenance workload. In terms of installation, the frame structure is difficult to transport and assemble, and the rollers require a high degree of consistency, making installation challenging.

(4) Difficult Calibration

To maintain accuracy, the best approach for traditional electronic belt scales is to calibrate them under actual operating conditions to verify and correct the scales. However, due to practical considerations, the calibration process is labor-intensive and complex.

Although traditional electronic belt scales have many advantages, they can no longer meet the requirements in many high-precision applications. With the development of dynamic measurement technology and the integration of other technologies, the new matrix electronic belt scale is a dynamic measurement instrument with high measurement accuracy, excellent long-term stability, rich functionality, easy installation and maintenance, and simple calibration.

(1) High Measurement Accuracy

The matrix electronic belt scale adopts a thin-walled, modular structure, utilizing engineering mechanics where sensors directly perceive the weight of the material without intermediate force transmission links affecting the measurement results. It is lighter in weight and less affected by its own mechanical components. Furthermore, the entire belt scale has a reasonable design, eliminating structures such as springs and rubber trunnions, resulting in superior measurement accuracy and stability.

(2) Easy Installation and Low Maintenance

The modular structure is smaller in size, convenient for transportation, and cost-effective, making installation easier. The scale frame has no side levers and a small horizontal surface, so it is not affected by dust accumulation and can be maintained without routine upkeep.

(3) Excellent Long-term Stability

Apart from the inherent stability of the modular structure, the combined modular weighing structure allows each weighing unit to operate independently. If one weighing unit fails, the others can continue to function normally.

The matrix electronic belt scale adopts a new model structure, and based on feedback from practical application cases, it outperforms traditional electronic belt scales in terms of accuracy, stability, maintenance, and calibration.
