The quantitative weighing conveyor of the present invention, which can be configured as described above, is used for quantitatively measuring various kinds of articles such as various kinds of seafood and loading, packaging, and transporting them in the container 4, Will be described in more detail.

At the initial stage of the conveyance, the conveyed objects are put into the hopper 2 for faster operation and the main conveyor 9 and the sub-conveyor 10 constituting the conveyor 1 are simultaneously operated. The conveyed materials put into the hopper 2 by the main belt 9 driven by the motors 7 and 7 'and rotating and the conveying lugs 11 projecting on the sub-belt 10 are conveyed to the upper part of the conveyor 1 Lt; / RTI >

 When the weight detected in the load cell is within the range of 80% to 95% of the preset weight, the motor 7 driving the main belt 8 is stopped. Of course, the setting of the weight of the article to be loaded into the hopper and the weight at which the motor of the main conveyance unit is stopped can be arbitrarily adjusted, and the driving speed of the conveyor can also be adjusted by using the speed reducer formed in the motors 7 and 7 ' will be.

The sub conveyor 10 is operated simultaneously with the main conveyor 9 so as to fill the conveyed object in the input hopper at the initial stage of conveyance. When the drive motor 7 of the main belt is stopped, Is filled with the sub-carrier (10).

That is, since the feed lug of the sub-belt 8 'has a narrow width, the number of seafood to be conveyed is small and the rpm of the motor 7' driving it is low, It is possible to significantly reduce the weight error range of the packaged unit.

At this time, the opening / closing shutter 13 of the weighing hopper 3 is in a state of shutting off the discharge hole 14, and when the weight of the conveyed object put in the weighing hopper approaches the weight preset by the load cell 12, And the piston 17 of the cylinder 16 is operated to extend so that the opening and closing shutter 13 connected to the piston 17 is moved upward from the shaft pin 15 as the starting point And the discharge hole 14 is opened so that the transported matter put into the weighing hopper 3 is dropped and discharged to the lower container 4. [

When the conveyed matter measured by the weighing hopper 3 is completely discharged to the container 4, the piston 17 of the cylinder 16 contracts and the opening and closing shutter 13 is angularly moved downward starting from the shaft pin 15 The discharge hole 14 is closed and the motor 7 is operated again so that the conveyance of the conveyed matter to the weighing hopper 3 is continuously performed through the conveyor 1.

The conveying lug 11 is protruded from the main conveying unit 9 and the sub conveying unit 10 with a predetermined gap therebetween. The conveying lug 11 of the main conveying unit 9 has a width It is possible to prevent a problem that a large amount of seafood is fed all at once and fed into the weighing hopper 3 to be contained in excess of the set weight, It is possible to drop downwardly during transportation through the space portion 22 formed between the transfer lugs 11 or on the side thereof when the transfer material is excessively loaded.

Therefore, when the belt 8 of the conveyor 1 is driven at a predetermined number of revolutions per minute (rpm / min), the amount of the conveyed material placed in the feed hopper 2 is limited to one conveying lug 11, The conveying amount of the conveyed object is also conveyed by a predetermined amount in a substantially constant range in accordance with the number of the conveyor 11 formed.

The main conveying unit 9 and the submerging conveyor unit 10 are driven at the same time in the case of weighing 10 kg of various kinds of seafood such as mussels, The motor 7 of the main conveyance unit is stopped, and when the server transfer unit 10 continues to be operated and weighs exactly 10 kg, the motor 7 of the sub- ) Is stopped and then the opening and shutting shutter is opened by the operation of the cylinder so that the improved 10 kg of mussels are discharged into the container 4 and the cycle is repeated in the order that the conveyor is again operated. Not only can the seafood be transported and packed as much as the weight, but it can contribute to dramatically reducing work time, manpower saving, and weighing packaging.
