Load cells used in equipment that handle explosive gases (e.g. acetone, coal gas, hydrogen, etc.) do not allow the explosion energy to be absorbed into the load cell even if the explosive gas explodes due to heat generation or a short circuit accident in the strain gauge. It is also required to have a flameproof and explosion-proof structure to prevent flames from escaping outside the load cell. For example, there is a conventional load cell shown in FIG. 1 as an example of a load cell having a pressure-resistant and explosion-proof function. 1 has the base end attached to the fixed base 2 with bolt 3
It is a stopped load cell main body, and the tip is made into a force application part A. Reference numeral 4 denotes a strain gauge attachment part formed at a suitable location in the center of the load cell body 1, which is formed by cutting the load cell body 1 into a rectangular prism shape, and has three through holes 5 in the center thereof that communicate with each other. It consists of a Roberval mechanism 6 and strain gauges 8 attached to thin-walled portions 7 on the upper and lower surfaces of the Roberval mechanism 6. 9 is a bellows that covers the strain gauge attachment part 4.

In the above configuration, the bellows 9 is used to prevent dust from adhering to the strain gauge attachment part 4. If the bellows 9 is to have a pressure-resistant and explosion-proof function, its thickness may be increased to increase its strength. If it is held, the rigidity becomes too large and it becomes difficult to accurately measure the load P applied to the force application part A. In particular, it is currently difficult to obtain a pressure-resistant and explosion-proof structure when measuring accuracy is increased in a load cell with a small weighing capacity.

In other words, the Technical Guidelines of the Institute of Industrial Safety (Report of the Institute of Industrial Safety, RIIS-TR-79-1, November 1978)
Based on "3231 Joint Surface" published by the Ministry of Labor, Industrial Safety Research Institute (author: Ministry of Labor, Industrial Safety Research Institute), if the space 21 inside the cover 18 excluding the load cell body is "more than 2 cm 3 and less than 100 cm 3 ", the depth L 1 should be set to 10 mm. or more, and the width W 1 is
0.1mm (for explosion class 2) or less. Further, the gap L 2 between the stepped portion 22 of the cover 18 and the through hole of the bolt 19 is set to 6 mm or more so that flame escape does not occur between the load cell body 10 and the cover 18.

The method for manufacturing a pressure-resistant and explosion-proof load cell of the present invention covers the strain gauge attachment part of the load cell body with a cylindrical cover that is longer than the finished shape, and fixes its base end to the base end of the load cell body. Cut the end face of the cylindrical cover located on the force application part side to be shorter than the end face of the force application part of the load cell body by the width W of the required gap, and face the end face of the cut cylindrical cover to form the depth L of the required gap. The opposing member to be formed is fixed to the end face of the force application part of the load cell main body, and a gap having a width W and a depth L for preventing flame escape is formed between the cylindrical cover and the opposing member.

In the manufacturing process, first, as shown in FIG. 3, the cover 18 is fixed to the load cell body 10 with bolts 19, and as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. Cut the end face 30 on the force-applying point side flush with the end face 30 using a precision milling machine or the like,
Next, only the end face 29 of the cover 18 is further cut short by the dimension W. Once this cutting process is finished,
As shown in FIG. 4, the end surface 3 of the load cell body 10
0, a disc-shaped opposing member 31 that faces the end surface 29 of the cover 18 over a length L or more is attached to the bolt 32.
A gap α having a width W and a depth L is formed by fixing the gap α. Reference numeral 33 denotes a force-applying member fixed to the facing member 31 with a bolt 34, in which a through hole 35 for inserting the bolt 25 shown in FIG. 2 is bored.

In this way, the gap α 1 for preventing flame escape is set such that W≦W 1 ,
In order to set L≧L 1 and manufacture it based on the cutting process as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the relative position between the cover 18 and the load cell body 10 is adjusted when fixing the cover 18 to the load cell body 10. Compared to the manufacturing method, the workability is better and the reliability of the gap α1 is also improved.

As explained above, according to the method for manufacturing a pressure-resistant and explosion-proof load cell of the present invention, after fixing the cylindrical cover to the load cell main body, the end surface of the cylindrical cover on the force application point side is spaced apart from the end of the load cell main body on the force application point side. A facing member is fixed to the force-applying side end of the load cell body, and a width W and depth necessary to prevent flame escape are established between this opposing member and the force-applying side end of the cylindrical cover. In order to form a gap L, this manufacturing method is easier and more reliable than the manufacturing method in which the width W of the gap is determined by adjusting the relative position between the load cell body and the cylindrical cover when attaching the cylindrical cover to the load cell body. A gap for preventing flame escape can be obtained with a high yield.
