Abstract:
1. A force measuring rigid load binder, comprising a tensioning mechanism having a handle, in which each of both ends of the tensioning mechanism is connected with a hook respectively, the tensioning mechanism is made of a rigid material, and the distance between two hooks is adjustable by the tensioning mechanism when the handle is pulled; and a sensor is provided at a forced part of the tensioning mechanism, the sensor capable of generating a signal corresponding to the size of the tensioning force when the load binder is in operation, the sensor is connected with a signal processing circuit which is capable of receiving and processing said signal, and a display device is connected with the signal processing circuit to display the size of the tensioning force; wherein the tensioning mechanism includes a connection piece and an adjustment piece, the connection piece is connected with a hook at an outer end and connected with one end of the adjustment piece through threads at an inner end, the other end of the adjustment piece is connected with the other hook, the handle is linked with the adjustment piece and could drive the adjustment piece to turn, and the forced part is the connection piece or the adjustment piece; wherein the sensor is a resistance strain gauge and fixed on the outer wall of the adjustment piece, a casing is held on the adjustment piece outside the sensor, and the signal processing circuit connected with the sensor is positioned within the casing; wherein the display device includes a wireless signal transmission module for transmitting a wireless signal and an exterior reception device for receiving said wireless signal linked with the signal processing circuit.
