Matrix Electronic Belt Scale: A Breakthrough from Traditional Belt Scales

The electronic belt scale is a continuous dynamic weighing device installed on belt conveyors. It can be said that electronic belt scales are indispensable in situations where materials need to be weighed on belt conveyors. Traditional electronic belt scales utilize the lever principle for weighing. During the detection process, they are significantly influenced by factors such as the conveyor, belt, and environment.

Moreover, the workload for inspection, maintenance, and calibration is substantial, making it difficult to achieve the precision and stability required in high-accuracy applications, such as trade measurement.

To address the limitations of traditional electronic belt scales, dynamic weighing technology has continuously evolved in recent years, with new technologies being applied to belt scales. Coupled with innovative upgrades in design and structure, the matrix electronic belt scale has emerged as a breakthrough, offering high precision, stability, and reduced maintenance.

Firstly, in terms of design and structure, the matrix electronic belt scale differs from conventional belt scales. Traditional belt scales have weight sensors installed on the weighing bridge to detect the weight of materials on the belt, generating a load signal.

The weight sensor belongs to the entire weighing bridge. In contrast, the matrix belt scale employs a specialized mathematical model where each individual idler is equipped with a weight sensor, forming a weighing unit in a suspended structure.

These weighing units can be sequentially installed on the belt conveyor, creating a stable and reliable weighing platform without the need for crossbeams.

Given the comparison between traditional belt scales and matrix belt scales, the advantages of the latter are evident. Each weighing unit in the matrix belt scale operates independently, meaning that an anomaly in one unit (e.g., sensor failure) does not affect the operation of other units.

Furthermore, the suspension structure replaces the lever structure, significantly simplifying the horizontal surface of the entire weighing area.

This design minimizes the impact of dust accumulation and material jamming on weighing accuracy, and greatly reduces the maintenance workload for the weighing frame. The modular matrix structure extends the entire weighing area, enhancing both weighing accuracy and stability.

This streamlined scale structure simplifies transportation, installation, and commissioning. The overall structure is simple and lighter in weight, accommodating larger conveyor inclination angles and harsh operating conditions.

Additionally, the matrix electronic belt scale utilizes various new technologies to mitigate the influence of environmental factors on weighing. Digital sensors replace analog sensors, converting analog signals into digital signals for accurate and efficient transmission, thereby avoiding measurement errors caused by signal distortion.

These weighing sensors offer improved stability, sensitivity, and overload protection. The instrument is also equipped with a built-in temperature sensor that monitors real-time changes in the operating environment's temperature and incorporates them into calculations, eliminating the impact of ambient temperature on weighing.

Lastly, the matrix electronic belt scale features real-time monitoring and tracking capabilities. It continuously monitors the operating status of the entire weighing platform online.

In case of anomalies, it automatically identifies and records the issue, pinpoints the fault location, and promptly notifies maintenance personnel to resolve the problem swiftly, enhancing the stability of the matrix electronic belt scale's weighing system.

In summary, the matrix electronic belt scale discards the design and structure of traditional electronic belt scales, achieving a series of technological breakthroughs. It offers superior precision, stability, reduced maintenance, and easier verification.
