Scales, e.g. kitchen or bathroom scales, have a single load plate on which a number of measurement elements, e.g. strain gauges, are mounted in order to detect local extensions and compressions

摘要

Scales (1) have a load plate (3) that is mounted on a foundation using feet elements (5). The load plate has measurement elements (9) for measuring extensions and compressions of the load plate. The elements are attached to the plate itself so that they can detect its localized bending.
