Abstract: A method for real-time processing of a detection signal, wherein signal processing is respectively performed when a detection signal is converted from a high level to a low level or vice versa. A moment at which a level of the detection signal is converted is recorded as a start point. A status of the detection signal is then detected in real time at a current moment. A current time width is compared to a maximum interval width of pre-set interference signals, and signal levels are determined and recorded from the start point to the current moment. Using characteristics of different interference signals, anti-interference processing is performed by using a targeted edge positioning and width recognition method, so that the delay impact of filtering on signals is avoided, improving both the recognition precision of weighing data of a checkweigher and the overall performance of the checkweigher.

Abstract: A high precision weighing system and weighing method has a weighing plate and weighing unit separation mechanism and a weight loading mechanism. The weighing plate and weighing unit separation mechanism controls separation of a weighing plate and a weighing unit, so that the weighing plate or the weighing plate and its carried material do not apply force to the weighing unit. The weight loading mechanism loads a weight onto the weighing unit or removes a weight from the weighing unit; the weighing system records a weighing value of the weighing unit during the action of the weighing plate and weighing unit separation mechanism and a sensitivity value during the action of the weight loading mechanism. The weighing system modifies the weighing value at the time of the most recent combination of the weighing plate and the weighing unit based on the recorded weighing and sensitivity values, achieving a high precision.

Abstract: A weighing method has an automatic micro-calibration function. In the method, an automatic adjustment is performed by a self-calibration weighing module.

In the weighing method, the self-calibration module is used to perform the automatic calibration function to weigh the fine formulation materials. This provides a high degree of automation, and greatly reduced cost in equipment and labor for a formulating process, saving on time and labor, and with no risk of cross-contamination.

Abstract: A method and a system measure interfering influences on a checkweighing device. In the method, external interference data are obtained, as are interference data from the checkweighing device itself and interference data from an object being weighed, by calculating or mapping the weighing error data in the stationary state, in the operating state, and in the weighing state. The system for measuring the interference uses a meter and a processing apparatus. The meter and the processing apparatus perform an interference measurement and a compensation method. The amount of interference in the checkweighing device in each state and the amount of influence of the interference on the weighing performance is obtained, thereby facilitating the production, debugging, maintenance, and use of a checkweighing device.

Abstract: A method for dynamically managing power consumption, as well as a wake-up method, is disclosed for a wireless weighing platform. The method is initialized by setting both light and deep sleep period, entering a normal operating state, and starting light sleep timing. As long as no weighing operation is detected and the light sleep period has not expired, the method seeks to detect the weighing operation. If the light sleep period expires with no weighing operation, a light sleep state is entered, by turning off a communication function and starting timing for the deep sleep period. If no weighing is when the deep sleep period has expired, the wireless weighing platform enters a deep sleep state, by turning off power supply other than that for an acceleration sensor. If the acceleration sensor detects an effective vibration while in the deep sleep state, the normal operating state is restarted.

Abstract: A method for adjusting parameters of a device with a weighing sensor collecting environmental parameter data of an environment where the device is currently located or environmental parameter data during execution of an application by the device. A zero compensation parameter is calculated and updated, based on the data collected. The method is applicable to a moisture analyzer and also to a vehicle scale. In the moisture analyzer, the method is triggered and executed in the analyzer, correcting the zero compensation data by using the environmental parameter data of an environment or environmental parameter data during execution of an application by the analyzer. Dynamic and real-time adjustment of a compensation parameter overcomes the problem that the scheme of pre-setting fixed parameters for zero compensation cannot deal with the complex zero drift encountered in actual environments.

Abstract: A dynamic weighing device has a plurality of weighing sensors that constitute a weighing sensor network via Ethernet. One of the weighing sensors is selected as a primary node, which performs time synchronization with the other nodes via a time synchronization protocol. Alternatively, the other nodes synchronize a time offset relative to the time of the primary node. Each weighing sensor continuously packetizes and sends a plurality of consecutive pieces of weighing information to a terminal apparatus. The terminal apparatus calculates a weighed weight result of the dynamic weighing device at the same moment, based on time information in the weighing information obtained through depacketization, In such a weighing sensor network, by means of the time synchronization, weighing data at each moment is accurate when the weighing data is processed on a terminal such as a meter, thereby improving the reliability of sampling.

The weighing sensors collaboratively process a weighing task, which no longer depends on an instrument or a computer, thereby reducing the cost of the whole system, and improving the tolerance level to environment. The collaborative processing mode also avoids the bottleneck of data communication information summarization.
