LOAD SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18657675 titled 'LOAD SENSOR
The abstract describes a load sensor consisting of two base members with plate shapes, an electrically-conductive elastic body, a linear electrically-conductive member, a dielectric body, and an electric conductor.
- The load sensor includes a first base member with elasticity and a second base member opposing it.
- An electrically-conductive elastic body is formed on the first base member.
- A linear electrically-conductive member is placed between the two base members.
- A dielectric body is formed on the outer periphery of the electrically-conductive member.
- An electric conductor is formed on the second base member along the electrically-conductive member.
Potential Applications: - Industrial weighing systems - Force measurement in machinery - Structural health monitoring
Problems Solved: - Accurate measurement of loads - Enhanced durability and reliability - Improved sensitivity in detecting forces
Benefits: - Precise load measurement - Long-lasting performance - Versatile applications in various industries
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Load Sensing Technology for Industrial Weighing Systems This technology can be utilized in manufacturing plants, logistics companies, and construction sites for efficient load monitoring and management.
Questions about Load Sensor Technology: 1. How does the elasticity of the first base member contribute to the sensor's performance?
- The elasticity allows the sensor to deform under load, providing accurate measurements.
2. What role does the dielectric body play in the sensor's functionality?
- The dielectric body helps insulate the electrically-conductive member, preventing interference and ensuring accurate readings.
Original Abstract Submitted
A load sensor includes: a first base member having a plate shape and having elasticity; a second base member having a plate shape and disposed so as to oppose the first base member; an electrically-conductive elastic body formed on an opposing face of the first base member; an electrically-conductive member having a linear shape and disposed between the first base member and the second base member; a dielectric body formed on an outer periphery of the electrically-conductive member; and an electric conductor formed on the second base member, along the electrically-conductive member.
