Description

Windshield device for scale

The present invention relates to a windshield device for a scale, and is configured so that it can be easily attached to and detached from the scale body and cleaned.

A precision balance such as an electronic balance can affect the measurement accuracy even if the air in the room where it is installed moves slightly. Therefore, as described in Patent Document 1 below, a windshield case is installed so as to surround a weighing pan on which a sample is placed, and the flow of air is conventionally blocked.
In recent years, there are an increasing number of objects to be weighed that require high weighing accuracy, including chemical materials and drugs. In addition, there are a wide range of weighing locations, from quiet laboratories to manufacturing sites where air flow is not constant, and measurement is performed in an environment where a windshield device is indispensable for maintaining the accuracy of the electronic balance. Increasing cases are being reported.

JP 2003-130721 A

The inside of the windshield device may become dirty with an object to be weighed. In such a case, the inside of the windshield device needs to be cleaned.
However, the windshield device of Patent Document 1 is a structure in which posts are installed at the four corners of the lower base frame, the side plates are fitted into the fitting grooves of each post, and the upper base frame is fixed to the upper end of the post. There is a problem that the inside cannot be easily cleaned.

The present invention was devised in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a windshield device for a scale that is easy to attach and detach to and from the balance body and enables high-precision weighing of the scale body. It is said.

The present invention is such that the support shaft supporting the weighing pan protrudes from the upper surface, and a square shield plate fixed to the upper surface covers the entire upper surface except the periphery of the support shaft via the shield plate A frame-shaped base frame that is resin-molded into a quadrangular shape corresponding to the outer periphery of the shield plate, and a metal made upright on the rear side (rear side) of the frame-shaped base frame A rear frame, a base portion fixed to the upper end of the rear frame, and a pair of guide portions extending forward from both ends of the base portion, the base portion and the guide portion integrally molded with resin, and a guide frame The front edge of the guide part is fixed, and the front edge of the frame-like base frame (front side) is transparent and the lower edge is locked, and the guide frame can be slid in the front-rear direction. Support Transparent left and right side panels that are slidably supported in the front-rear direction between the guide portions of the guide frame and the left and right sides (side sides) of the frame-shaped base frame The shield plate has a notch hole on each of the rising edges of the opposing sides, and a claw that engages with each of the notch holes from the outside is provided on the windshield device side. To do.
The windshield device can be removed from the scale body by releasing the engagement between the notch hole of the shield plate and the claw when cleaning the inside of the weighing pan or the windshield device. In addition, since the top panel and the side panels on both sides can be slid and removed, it is easy to clean the inside of the weighing pan and the windshield device with the windshield device mounted on the scale body.

Further, the windshield device for a scale according to the present invention has a notch hole formed in the rising edge of the front side and the rising edge of the rear side of the shield plate, and the cutout hole formed in the rising edge of the front side of the shield plate. Claws to be joined are provided inwardly on the back side of the front side of the frame-shaped base frame, and claws that engage with a notch formed in the rising edge of the rear side of the shield plate are on the outer surface of the rear frame. The latch is provided with a base part fixed to the rear frame, a pivot part supported by the base part so as to be pivotable in a horizontal direction via a hinge part, A shield holding portion extending downward from the lower edge; a claw provided on the shield holding portion; and a snap portion for locking the turning portion rotated to a position overlapping with the base portion. Claw of shield holding part while locked to snap part , Characterized in that it engages in the notch hole formed on the rising edge of the rear side of the shield plate.
This windshield device engages a claw with a notch hole formed in the rising edge of the front side of the shield plate, and then latches the rotating part of the latch fixed to the rear frame with the snap part. The claw engages with a notch hole formed in the rising edge of the rear side of the shield plate, and is attached to the scale body. Therefore, the windshield device can be attached to and detached from the balance body with one touch.

Moreover, in the windshield device for scales of this invention, it is desirable to shape | mold so that a nail | claw may increase in thickness, so that it separates from the front-end | tip of a nail | claw.
By doing so, there is no gap between the claw and the notch hole, and the windshield device can be stably attached to the scale body.

Further, in the windshield device for a scale according to the present invention, the rising edges on the left and right sides of the shield plate are in contact with the inner surfaces of the left and right sides of the frame-like base frame.
By this contact, the left and right direction of the windshield device is positioned with respect to the balance body.

Further, in the windshield device for a scale according to the present invention, a metal inner panel that covers the inside of the rear frame is disposed at a position behind the weighing pan and in front of the rear frame, and the inner panel is formed after the top panel is removed. It is possible to pull it upward.
In this windshield device, the inner panel prevents the rear frame from being dirty, and the dirty inner panel can be removed and cleaned.

Further, in the windshield device for a scale according to the present invention, the inner panel is held on both side edges folded inside the rear frame, and an inner panel holder for guiding the inner panel when pulled out is attached.
Both side edges folded inside the rear frame are covered with the inner panel holder and are not exposed.

In the windshield device of the present invention, a transparent conductive film is coated on the inner surfaces of the front panel, the top panel, and the side panel, and the conductive film formed on the front panel is formed on the front side of the frame-shaped base frame. The conductive coating formed on the top panel and the side panel is electrically connected to the shield plate through the spring contact member disposed, and the conductive film formed on the top panel and the side panel is connected to the rear frame through the spring contact member disposed at the base of the guide frame. The rear frame is electrically connected, and is electrically connected to the shield plate via a spring-like contact member disposed on the rear side of the frame-shaped base frame.
Since the measurement accuracy of the electronic balance is affected when the windshield device is charged with static electricity, a shielded windshield device has been used conventionally. However, when the windshield device is detachable from the scale body and the top panel and the side panel are slidable, it is difficult to secure the conduction path of the windshield device. The top panel and the side panel are electrically connected to the metal rear frame using a contact member, and the fixed rear frame and front panel are electrically connected to the shield plate using the contact member.

Moreover, in the windshield apparatus for scales of this invention, the lower end of metal inner panels is made to contact a shield board, and the inner panel and the shield board are electrically connected.
Therefore, even if the windshield device is detachable from the scale body, the top panel and the side panel are slidable, and the inner panel is removable, the static electricity in the weighing space can be released, resulting in static electricity. It is possible to suppress a decrease in accuracy of the electronic balance.

The scale windshield device of the present invention can be easily attached to and detached from the scale body and cleaned inside. Also, static electricity that affects the weighing accuracy of the scale body can be released.
