- Figure 3 shows a schematic view of the apparatus in accordance with the invention
- Figure 4 shows a three-dimensional schematic view of an orientation sensor of the apparatus of Figure 1.
- apparatus for determining the load of a vehicle is generally indicated by reference numeral 10, and a vehicle on which the apparatus has been installed, is indicated generally by reference numeral 12.
- a vehicle 12 in the form of a truck comprising a mechanical horse 14 and trailer 16, connected by a so-called fifth wheel arrangement 18.
- the vehicle 12 includes a number of wheels 20, each connected to the vehicle's body by a conventional suspension arrangement (not shown) in which the distance between the vehicle body and a wheel assembly, decreases with an increase in the vehicle's load.
- a transducer arrangement 46 can be installed on one or more of the assemblies associated with one or more of the wheels 20, but in Figure 1 , it is shown installed on all the wheel assemblies of the mechanical horse 14 and of the trailer 16.
- a road vehicle 12 in the form of a truck is shown.
- the invention has application in any type of vehicle which includes a suspension arrangement extending between the vehicle's body and a wheel assembly.
- the invention has particular further application in aircraft, and rail vehicles.
- transducer arrangement 46 is shown in detail, extending between a chassis 22 of the vehicle body, and an axle housing 24, forming part of the wheel assembly.
- the axle housing 24 is connected to the chassis 22 by the suspension arrangement as described hereinabove and accordingly the distance between the axle housing and the chassis corresponds to the load of the vehicle that is borne by the wheel assembly.
- the transducer arrangement 46 includes a position transducer or cable transducer 26 mounted on the chassis 22 and including a housing 28 from which a transducer cable 30 extends.
- the transducer 26 is configured to emit an electronic load signal, corresponding to the distance by which the transducer cable 30 protrudes from the housing 28 and the transducer cable is stored inside the housing on a drum, that is spring loaded to recoil automatically.
- the transducer arrangement 46 further includes an elongate tensile element in the form of a cable 32 that is connected at its one end to the transducer cable 30 and extends slidingly across the end of a protuberance 34 extending from the chassis 22, through a moving cable guide 36 mounted on the axle housing 24, and through a stationery cable guide 38, mounted on the chassis 22.
- the other end of the cable 32 is connected to biasing means in the form of an extension coil spring 40 that is connected to a park brake lever 42 of the vehicle 12.
- the cable 32 can slide across the end of the protuberance 34 and can slide inside the cable guides 36,38.
- a stopper 44 is fixedly attached to the cable 32 between the moving cable guide 36 and stationery cable guide 38, which can engage the end of the stationery cable guide 38.
- the transducer arrangements 46 include any one of a wide variety of transducers 26, configured to measure the distance between the chassis 22 and the housing 24 or other part of the wheel assembly.
- the transducer 26 can for instance be a cable transducer with its cable 30 connected directly to the housing 24, so that it remains in use continuously.
- a transducer 26 in the form of a rheostat, a proximity sensor, or the like can be used to measure the distance between the chassis 22 and the housing 24, and transmit a load signal to the processor 50.
- the transducers 26 mounted on the trailer 16 can be driven by a battery (not shown) of the trailer and can be connected to an output device in the form of a digital screen (not shown) mounted on the trailer.
- the battery can be charged automatically when the trailer 16 is connected to the mechanical horse 14, so that the transducers 26 installed on the trailer can operate independently, even in the absence of the mechanical horse 14.
- the transducers 26 mounted on the mechanical horse 14 are powered by the battery 48 of the mechanical horse and are connected to a processor 50 including an output screen 52 mounted in the cab 54 of the mechanical horse.
- the transducers 26 mounted on the trailer 16 are connected via a hitch socket 84 to the processor 50 and are powered by the battery 48 of the mechanical horse 14.
- the apparatus 10 includes a number of transducer arrangements 46 (of which only one example is shown), as well as an orientation sensor 56 mounted on the chassis 22. Outputs from the transducers 26 and the orientation sensor 56 are connected to the processor 50, which includes the output screen 52 and which is powered by the battery 48 of the mechanical horse 14.
- the apparatus 10 includes positioning means in that the processor 50 is configured to determine the position of the vehicle 12 with the aid of the global positioning system (GPS), represented in Figure 3 of the drawings by a satellite 58. Instead, the processor 50 can be configured to determine the position of the vehicle through two-way communications in a satellite tracking system, through triangulation between cellular telephone base stations, through stationery control points, or the like.
- GPS global positioning system
- the processor 50 includes an antenna and transmitter 60 and is configured to transmit output signals 62 from the antenna, that are receivable in remote devices such as a handheld reader 64, a remote computer 66, a cellular telephone, or the like.
- the output signals 62 can be in the form of radio signals or the like and can be receivable directly in the reader 64, or can be communicated through a communications network, such as a telephone network or a cellular telephone network (represented in Figure 3 of the drawing by a cellular telephone base station tower 68).
- the motion sensor 56 include four tilt sensors in the form of tilt switches 70, but could instead include four incline sensors.
- Each tilt switch 70 is oriented on a tilted axis 72, relative to axes 74 that correspond to the orientation of the trailer 16.
- Each tilt switch 70 is in the form of a mercury switch and includes a hollow, cylindrical glass bulb 76 that houses two electrical probes 78, and houses a mercury droplet 80.
- the probes 78 are oriented at an end of each bulb 76 that is slightly higher than the rest of the bulb, when the trailer 16 is in a perfectly upright condition, i.e. when the axes 74 are horizontal.
- the mercury droplet 80 is urged under gravity towards the opposite end of each bulb 76, i.e. away from the probes 78.
- the orientation sensor 56 is configured with one probe 78 of each tilt switch 70 connected together and with the other probe of each tilt switch connected together and to an output conductor.
- the orientation sensor 56 thus include two output conductors 82, one connected to one probe 78 of each tilt switch 70, and the other connected to the other probe 78 of each tilt switch.
- the output conductors 82 are electrically isolated from each other if the trailer 16 is in its upright position, and are electrically connected via at least one of the mercury droplets 80, when the trailer has tilted sufficiently for the droplet to contact its probes 78. If the vehicle 12 is in motion, the orientation sensor 56 will be accelerated and decelerated together with the vehicle body and will vibrate. These movements will cause the mercury droplets 80 to contact the probes 78 from time to time. The output conductors 82 will thus only be electrically isolated from each other if the trailer 16 is upright and is stationery.
- the transducer arrangements 46 are brought into operation by operating the park brake lever 42 to engage the park brake of the vehicle.
- the park brake lever 42 exerts a drawing force on the spring 40, which transfers the drawing force to the cable 32, which slides in the cable guides 36,38 until the stopper 44 engages the end of the stationery cable guide 38.
- the cable 32 is now in its operational position. If the park brake lever 42 is operated further, the drawing force extends the spring 40, but the cable 32 remains in its operating position.
- the length of the cable 32 extending between the stopper 44 and the end of the protuberance 34 will depend on the position of the axle housing 24 and moving cable guide 36, relative to the chassis 22, which in turn depends on the load of the vehicle.
- the length of the cable 32 extending between the transducer cable 30 and the end of the protuberance 34 will thus also vary depending on the load of the vehicle 12, and will exert a tensile force on the transducer cable to draw a length of the transducer cable from the transducer housing 28, corresponding to the vehicle's load.
- the transducer 26 generates a load signal, corresponding to the length of the transducer cable 30 that has been drawn out of the housing 28 and the signal is transmitted to the processor 50.
- the apparatus 10 When the vehicle 12 is to be used, the apparatus 10 is deactivated by releasing the park brake lever 42, which relieves the tension on the cable 32, so that the stopper 44 moves away from the stationery cable guide 38, the cable passes in a slack condition through the moving cable guide 36 and the tensile load is taken off the transducer cable 30, which is wound into the transducer housing 28. If the vehicle 12 is driven and the axle housing 24 moves relative to the chassis 22 as a result of motion of the vehicle, the slack condition of the cable 32 prevents tensile loads from being exerted on the transducer cable 30, so that the transducer 26 is not used or worn excessively.
- the transducer 26 can be in the form of a cable transducer with its cable 30 attached directly to the housing 20, or could be another form of transducer, generating a load signal corresponding to the distance between the chassis 22 and the housing 24, which in turn corresponds to the per axle payload borne by the particular wheel arrangement.
- Data relating to the orientation of the vehicle 12 and particularly of the trailer 16 is generated by the orientation sensor 56 in the form of electric isolation between the output conductors 82 if the trailer is upright and stationery, continuous electrical connection between the output conductors if the trailer is tilted by more than a predetermined angle, and/or intermittent electrical connection between the output conductors if the trailer is in motion.
- the load signals from all the transducers 26, as well as the orientation sensor 56 are received in the processor 50, which is configured to calculate the load carried by the vehicle from the load signals and which can interpret the orientation signal to ascertain whether or not the vehicle 12 is stationery and level. Further, the processor 50 collects position data of the vehicle 12 with the aid of the GPS system 58, or another tracking system. The processor combines the calculated load of the vehicle, data relating to the orientation of the vehicle and its movement, as well as the data relating to the position of the vehicle, into an output which is displayed on the screen 52 and can be transmitted from the antenna 60 in the form of the output signal 62.
- Users can thus continually track the load condition and the position of the vehicle 12, on a remote computer 66 and can asses the accuracy of the measured load, from the orientation of the vehicle.
- data relating to the load and orientation of the vehicle can intermittently be obtained, using the reader 64.
- the invention illustrated holds the advantage that it allows for determining the load of the vehicle 12 with ease, while being able to assess the accuracy of the load measurement, through checking the orientation and/or movement of the vehicle, with the aid of the orientation sensor 56.
- the invention illustrated allows the load conditions of the vehicle 12 to be monitored continually, thereby to ensure optimum usage of the vehicle, reduce losses, etc.
- the transducer arrangement 46 illustrated holds the advantage of preventing wear on the transducer 26, when the vehicle is moving. It holds the further advantages of low cost and simplicity of manufacture, construction and operation.
- the invention holds the further advantage that cable transducers 26 are widely used in aircraft, with the result that special approval need not be obtained to rate cable transducers for use in the apparatus 10 on an aircraft.
