DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a weighing device, and more specifically, it weighs with a weighing device and records this weighing data in 1. Then, print this recorded data on a label corresponding to the item being transported.
This printed label is pasted on the item using a label pasting device.

(Prior art) As seen in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-123391, the method described in the publication includes a weighing conveyor installed on the product feed path side of a packaging section that automatically packages products, and weighs products one by one. A supply conveyor is installed to transfer the products onto the conveyor, and a world conveyor is installed to transfer the products on the weighing conveyor to the packaging section, and a label printing and pasting device is installed on the output side.

In this conventional device, a product is transferred to a weighing conveyor, is weighed while passing through the conveyor, is carried to a packaging department via a Seijin conveyor, and in the packaging department, packaging material is automatically wrapped around the product. The product is carried out from the packaging section by a carry-out conveyor, and necessary data relating to the product is printed on the label by a label printing and pasting device on the heater conveyor, and the label is automatically affixed to the product.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional device described above, the products are weighed while they are passing through the weighing conveyor, and when the weighed products are detected by a photoelectric switch while being transferred on the carry-in conveyor. The next product is transferred from the conveyor onto the supply conveyor.

However, in conventional equipment, the weight of the product is measured while it is being transferred while passing through the weighing container, which makes it difficult to stabilize the weight due to the effects of vibration, and it takes a long time to measure the weight, reducing the overall throughput of the equipment. It was bringing about. The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional art, and furthermore enables continuous pasting of continuous needles (2) and corresponding labels.

(Means for solving the problem) A weighing device, a packaging device, and a label pasting device are provided, each device is connected by a conveyance section, and an item weighed by the weighing device is packaged by the packaging device. A label with necessary information based on the weighing data is printed on the item using a labeling device.The weighing device uses a weighing device to weigh the item once it has stabilized after being conveyed to the weighing device. a means for recording the data ↑ and α; a starting means for starting the transport section with a scale stability signal output from the weighing device on the weighing device; It is characterized by comprising a label pasting device that prints on a label in correspondence with the activation of the conveyance unit and the record of the item in the storage means, and affixes this label to the item in correspondence with the storage data. The measurement value attached to the device is the gist of the invention.

(Example) As shown in Figure 1, a weighing device (11) and a packaging device (1″2)

and each device (11) (12) (13) (
14) are connected by the conveying section (3), the item A weighed by the weighing device (11) is packaged by the packaging device (12), and the unit price, weight, price, etc. of the item is printed by the label printer (13). Print on the label and attach the label to the label bag ff
At this time, the data to be printed on the label is input to the shift register (21) via the control device (2) and synchronized with the transport of the item. The data is shifted in the shift register (21), and the label printer (13) prints at the timing when the item and the data match. However, when weighing items that do not require packaging, there is no need to install a packaging device (12), and when it is acceptable to print directly on packaged or non-packaged items, it is necessary to use a label pasting device. In addition, a simple printer may be used instead of the label printer (13). Therefore, to explain Fig. 2 in detail, the numeral part (
41) directly to the buffer register (22) via the control device (2) or stored in memory in advance.
Write the product code, product name, unit price, etc. in (5).
Depending on the product code input from the numeral section (41), the product name, unit price, etc. of the corresponding product are input to the buffer register (22) via the control device (2).

Further, the conveyance section (3) advances by one pinoge each time the start signal Pb output from the control device (2) is input based on the scale stability signal Pc input from the weighing device (11) to the control device (2). It is designed to transport items placed on it. The shift register (21) is provided with a data flag area (2Ia), a setting data area (2l b), and a measurement data area (21c), and the data flag area (21a) has data in the other two areas. The data flag Da is set up at a certain time, and the flag is set down when there is no data flag. Setting data area (2l b)
In addition to the unit price and available number of items, setting data Db regarding the item name and the name of the store to which the item is delivered is stored. The weighing data area (21c) contains weighing data (weight, price, etc.) regarding the weight of the item transferred from the weighing device (11).
DC is stored. A set of three data flags (l)a, setting data Db, and measurement data Dc is 1.

Fl). Next, using the numeric keypad etc. in the number section (41), read out the product name, unit price, effective number, name of the store to be delivered to, etc. directly or from the memory (5), and
2) (F2). Next, start button (4)
2) is pressed to start the entire system (F3), and the weighing data DC for the first item is obtained from the weighing device (11) when the weighing device (11) becomes stable (F32). At the same time, when the scale stabilization signal Pc is input to the CPU 20, the start signal pb is input to the transport section (3), and when the II sending section (3) is activated, the timing pulse Pa is output, so that the above-mentioned weighing data, etc. The data is stored in the shift register (
21) The transport section (3) transports one pinch item forward. Then, when the items are weighed one after another, their weighing data is shifted (F4) and the items are also transferred, and when the items reach the pasting device (14), a message is written at the right end of the shift register (21). The weighing data and setting data of the item are printed on a label using the printer (13) (F6), and the label is attached to the pasting device (14).
) to the item ("F7").Then, the data flag Da related to the printed data in the shift register (21) is lowered.
The item must be at position 4), and sensor (6)
is used to detect the position, and there is a detection signal Pd from the sensor (6) and a data flag D in the shift register.

4) is activated (F51). Therefore, the printer (13) and the pasting device (14) do not operate until the first item reaches the pasting device (14), or if the second item is removed during transport, since the detection signal Pd is not output.

Setting data such as product name can be changed at any time using the numeric keypad of the numeric field (41), and if there is a change, the work can be continued without interruption by simply rewriting the contents of the buffer register (22). It is possible (F31).

The end key (43) in Fig. 2 is used when finishing the work (
(ON) key so that when the last item is weighed, the items are sent one after another even without the start signal pb.
The transport unit (3) is operated to transfer all the items, print on the items one by one, and complete the work.

(Effects) Items are weighed on the weighing device and then weighed when the weighing device becomes stable, which enables highly accurate weighing and shortens the weighing time. Since the first narrowing section is activated by the output scale stability signal, the transportation section is always activated after the 81st amount has been stably weighed, so weighed items are sent to the packaging device quickly without being unable to measure or due to poor measurement. On the other hand, it is possible to record the weighing data measured by the weighing device in the storage means (QL), and to attach a label to the item that corresponds to the stored content and the item to be transported. This has the effect of making it possible to continuously transport items and increasing the speed of the entire device.
