Gravimetric measuring system with modular functional components
The patent US12061111B2 describes a gravimetric measuring system that integrates a balance with a specialized weighing chamber. This chamber is defined by multiple walls, including a rear wall designed with a ribbed or lattice structure that serves as a carrier. This rear wall features recesses that act as module receptacles, allowing for the insertion of various functional modules. Additionally, the system includes diaphragms that can close these recesses, which occupy a significant portion of the wall surface. An electronic control apparatus manages the system's operations based on pre-stored routines, and the design incorporates identification interface components that facilitate data transmission between the functional modules and the weighing system.
Further enhancing the system's functionality, the patent outlines that the identification interface can utilize various technologies, such as optical or magnetic systems, to ensure seamless communication between the device and the modules. The carrier structure also includes a thermal interface component that connects to a central cooling apparatus, promoting efficient thermal management when functional modules are inserted. The design ensures that the rear wall acts as a barrier between the weighing chamber and a separate weighing system chamber, which houses the weighing system and sample carrier. This configuration is intended to prevent user access to the weighing system chamber, thereby enhancing safety and operational integrity.
