WEIGHT MEASUREMENT DEVICE AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18531519 titled 'WEIGHT MEASUREMENT DEVICE AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for determining the weight of objects using a single force sensor. Here are some key points:
- Apparatus includes a housing, receiving tray, lever assembly, and force sensor.
- Lever assembly receives weight force from receiving tray and generates a collective lever force.
- Force sensor defines a fulcrum point along each lever to accurately measure the force generated by the objects.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in industries such as logistics, manufacturing, and retail for accurately measuring the weight of various objects.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately measuring the weight of multiple objects using a single force sensor, reducing the need for multiple sensors and improving efficiency.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include increased accuracy in weight measurement, cost savings from using a single sensor, and improved efficiency in various industries.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology could include logistics companies, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and retail stores looking to improve their weight measurement processes.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be traditional weighing scales that use multiple sensors to measure the weight of objects. However, the use of a single force sensor in this innovation sets it apart from traditional methods.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology compare to traditional weighing scales that use multiple sensors?
This technology improves efficiency and reduces costs by using a single force sensor, whereas traditional scales may require multiple sensors for accurate weight measurement.
What are the limitations of using a single force sensor for measuring the weight of objects?
One limitation could be the maximum weight capacity that the single force sensor can accurately measure, as well as potential inaccuracies in weight measurement for very small or very large objects.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various embodiments are directed to methods and apparatuses for determining a weight of one or more objects disposed about an area of the weight measurement device using a single force sensor to accurately measure a force generated by the one or more objects. In various embodiments, the apparatus comprises a housing, a receiving tray, a lever assembly configured to receive a weight force from the receiving tray and generate a collective lever force corresponding to the weight force, the lever assembly comprising a plurality of levers, wherein each lever of the plurality of levers being at least substantially fixed to the housing at a first lever location and configured to receive a partial weight force from the receiving tray at a second lever location, and a force sensor configured to define a fulcrum point along each of the plurality of levers.
