BACKGROUND
A weighing equipment is primarily comprised of a main body, an elastic body, a resistive strain gauge provided in the elastic body, a measuring circuit, a display instrument, and the like. When the elastic body is deformed due to external force such that the resistive strain gauge adhered to the elastic body is simultaneously deformed, the resistance of the resistive strain gauge changes and a weight signal is converted by the measuring circuit into a corresponding analog electrical signal or digital signal output. But with the development of the related art, wireless communication technologies are applied to the field of electronic weighing increasingly. In existing weighing equipment, wireless transmission of weight data and command are implemented by external wireless communication modules. However, a wired connection is needed between the prior art weighing equipment and wireless communication modules, such that at least two master chips are needed in total for the existing weighing equipment. The need for two master chips not only increases the power consumption and cost of the weighing equipment, but also increases the complexity of the weighing equipment, reducing the stability of the weighing equipment.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In order to achieve the above objectives, a technical solution presented by the present invention is an all-in-one wireless weighing module characterized by comprising a master chip, a power supply module, a wireless communication module, a wired communication module and a weight acquisition module, wherein the power supply module for providing operational power is connected with the power terminals of the
master chip, the wireless communication module, the wired communication module and the weight acquisition module respectively; a power control terminal of the master chip is connected with the power supply module; a signal output terminal of the weight acquisition module is connected with a signal input terminal of the master chip; and the wired communication module and the wireless communication module are connected with a communication interface of the master chip.
With one master chip connected with the wireless communication module, the wired communication module and the weight acquisition module, the present invention is able to implement, at the same time, not only weight signal acquisition and processing, but also the communications with the wireless communication module and wired communication module, i.e. implementing both of wireless communications and wired communications with one master chip. More particularly, through control of the power supply module by the master chip, long-term and effective management for the wireless weighing module is realized and low power operation is achieved. Thus, the present invention is suitable for long-term operation in outdoor environment absent of AC power supply. Since only one master chip is employed by the present invention, volume and cost of the module are reduced, and reliability and flexibility of the present wireless weighing module are increased.
