International ClassG01G 019/08Foreign Application Priority Data1996-07-05 JPAbstractIn accordance with an output signal from a weight sensor mounted on a vehicle, a display control section causes a display unit to display weight calculated at predetermined intervals by a weight calculating section. The display control section adds, to the weight which is being displayed, the difference in the weights sequentially calculated by the weight calculating section from detection of start of a loading/unloading operation performed by a detection section to start of running of the vehicle and causes the display unit to display the obtained weight. A power supply control section for controlling a power supply circuit for supplying operating electric power for the sensor, the display unit, the display control section and the detection section controls to interrupt supply of operating electric power from the power supply circuit when an ignition switch is switched off. Whenever a predetermined time is measured by a time measuring section, the power supply circuit is caused to supply operating electric power to at least the sensor, the display control section and the detection section.Field of SearchVehicleHydraulic weigher VEHICLE MOUNTED SYSTEMS Automobile Ignition or starter circuits Battery protection Lighting circuits WITH MEANS FOR PROMOTING SAFETY OF VEHICLE, ITS OCCUPANT OR LOAD, OR AN EXTERNAL OBJECT Responsive to weight of cargo load transported by vehicle Vehicle subsystem or accessory control Weight in container Weight Weight | |
