Definitions
- This invention relates to vehicle loading. In particular it is concerned with establishing
- a weighing device According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a weighing device
- the torsion can
- the sole figure is a diagrammatic view of a pan of a vehicle suspension unit
- a vehicle body 11, shown only in part, is supported on a ground engaging wheel 12 by
- the axle 15 has an upwardly extending arm 18 which is
- torsion rod 21 is
- the torsion rod 21 is only subject to torque arising from the vertical motion of axle 15
- the torsion rod 21 carries a compact network 23 of strain gauges and amplifiers
- the output signal by way of lead 25 to a processor/display unit 26 in the vicinity of the driver of the vehicle.
- the output signal is processed by way of the unit 26 and displayed as at least a static vehicle load figure to the driver.
- This displayed figure can either be a
- the torsion rod arrangement described is applied to one wheel or axle of a vehicle which can be used to provide a reasonably accurate representation of the propo ⁇ ion of the load acting at the mounting point from which the overall load on the vehicle can be extrapolated.
- separate torsion measuring units can be provided for each of two wheels (such as two rear wheels) on opposite sides of a vehicle to provide two outputs to enable the load to be determined and also to establish the existence of an out-of- balance loading needing correction before the vehicle is used on the public highway.
- the output of the transducer or transducers can be any suitable output of the transducer or transducers.
- the transducers will serve to indicate a periodic weight oscillation.
- control input is
- the present invention provides for the ready display of an accurate indication of vehicle
