SHOCKPROOF WEIGHTS AND SHOCKPROOF UNIT FOR INTEGRATING STRAIN SENSOR Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01G21/23 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: weights include strain sensors, a base for weights, a load-receiving platform mounted on elastic damping elements, movable units which transfer the load from the elastic damping elements to the strain sensors, catchers mounted on the base for the weights which restrict lowering of the load-receiving platform on the elastic damping elements. The strain sensors, movable units, elastic damping elements and catchers are assembled together structurally arranged in form of detachable blocks - units for integrating strain sensors lying on the base for the weights on which the load-receiving platform rests. The unit for integrating the strain sensor has a strain sensor, a base plate, a movable unit which transfers the load from the base plate to the strain sensor, and a base for the integration unit on which the strain sensor is mounted. The base plate rests on the movable unit through one or more elastic damping elements, where lowering of the base plate on the elastic damping elements is limited by one or more catchers mounted on the base of the integration unit.

EFFECT: simple design, high sock-resistance of the weights.
