Description

  The present invention relates to an exhibition apparatus and an exhibition method, and more particularly to an exhibition apparatus and an exhibition method for exhibiting the configuration of a weighing and packaging system including a combination weigher and a packaging machine.

  The weighing and packaging system is a system including a combination weigher that weighs an object to be weighed and a packaging machine that fills and packages the object to be weighed with the combination weigher while producing a bag. The combination weigher measures the objects to be weighed, such as detergents and confectionery, supplied to multiple weighing hoppers, performs combination calculation based on the weighed values of the weighed objects, and the total of the weighed values is predetermined. Find the combination of weighing hoppers in the weight range. And it is comprised so that a to-be-measured object may be thrown into a packaging machine by discharging | emitting the to-be-measured object of the weighing hopper applicable to the combination collectively (for example, refer patent document 1).

  In addition, the packaging machine shapes the belt-like packaging material into a cylindrical shape with a forming tube, and draws it downward while sealing both sides of the cylindrically shaped packaging material (hereinafter, cylindrical packaging material). The bottom of the container is sealed, and the object to be weighed discharged from the combination weigher is put into the cylindrical packaging material sealed at the bottom, and the upper end of the cylindrical packaging material is sealed to wrap the object to be weighed. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

There are various types of combination weighers and packaging machines (measuring and packaging systems), and it is necessary to select and provide an optimum combination weigher and packaging machine according to the purpose of the customer.

  Here, the configuration of the combination weigher 51 displayed on the first display device 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

[Composition of combination weigher]
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a schematic configuration of the combination weigher 51 displayed on the first display device 101 of the exhibition apparatus 100 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the combination weigher 51 includes a dispersion feeder 1, a linear feeder 2, a supply hopper 3, a weighing hopper 4, a weight sensor 5, a collecting chute (discharge chute) 6, a collecting funnel 7, and a control unit 10. The operation of the entire combination weigher 51 is controlled by the control unit 10.

  Above the combination weigher 51, a supply device for supplying an object to be weighed (not shown) to the dispersion feeder 1 of the combination weigher 51 is arranged. The dispersion feeder 1 is provided at the center of the upper portion of the combination weigher 51 and is formed in a conical shape. Moreover, the dispersion | distribution feeder 1 has the vibrator 1a. Thereby, the dispersion | distribution feeder 1 disperse | distributes the to-be-measured object supplied from the supply apparatus radially by the vibration of the vibrator 1a.

Thus, the linear feeder 2 supplies the objects to be weighed dispersed by the dispersion feeder 1 to each supply hopper 3. Further, the supply hopper 3 opens the gate and puts an object to be weighed into the weighing hopper 4 when the weighing hopper 4 disposed below the supply hopper 3 becomes empty.

  Below the weighing hopper 4, a collecting chute 6 having a discharge port is provided at a lower portion thereof, and a collecting funnel 7 is disposed at the discharge port of the collecting chute 6. The collective funnel 7 is configured to receive an object to be weighed supplied from the collective chute 6 and send it to a packaging machine 52 described later. As a result, the objects to be weighed discharged from the weighing hopper 4 slide on the collecting chute 6, are discharged from the discharging port of the collecting chute 6 to the collecting funnel 7, and are sent from the collecting funnel 7 to the packaging machine 52.

  Next, the operation of the combination scale 51 will be described.

[Operation of combination weigher]
First, an object to be weighed is supplied from a supply device (not shown) to the dispersion feeder 1 of the combination scale 51. The dispersion feeder 1 is vibrated by the vibrator 1 a, and the supplied object to be weighed is supplied to the linear feeder 2. The linear feeder 2 is vibrated by the vibrator 2 a, and the objects to be weighed supplied to the linear feeder 2 are fed into the supply hoppers 3. The supply hopper 3 receives the object to be weighed sent from the linear feeder 2, opens the gate when the weighing hopper 4 disposed below it is empty, and puts the object to be weighed into the weighing hopper 4.

  Next, a weight sensor 5 attached to the weighing hopper 4 detects the weight of an object to be weighed in the weighing hopper 4 and transmits the weight to the control unit 10. Based on the weight of the objects to be weighed in each weighing hopper 4, the control unit 10 performs a combination calculation so as to obtain a target weight (for example, 100 g) previously instructed by the operator, and a plurality of weighing hoppers 4. A combination of the weighing hoppers 4 to be discharged is obtained, and the objects to be weighed are discharged from the weighing hoppers 4 corresponding to the combination to the collecting chute 6.

  The objects to be weighed discharged from the weighing hopper 4 slide on the collecting chute 6 and are discharged from the discharging port of the collecting chute 6 to the collecting funnel 7 and are sent from the collecting funnel 7 to the packaging machine 52.
