Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain a highly accurate weighing apparatus having simple structure. CONSTITUTION: A load cell 2 is fixed to a base body 1 and a tubular member 3, having an upper material receiving port and a lower material discharging port, is fixed to the load side of the load cell 2. Furthermore, a member 4 for opening/closing the discharge port and an air cylinder 5 for driving a piston 11 horizontally to actuate the opening/closing member 4 are fixed to the load side of the load cell 2 similarly to the tubular member 3. Since a flexible tube 6 feeds the air to the air cylinder 5 from the base body 1 side, they are coupled substantially in the horizontal direction as a whole and a discharge unit 7 for directing the air discharged from the air cylinder 5 in the horizontal direction is fixed to the load side of the load cell 2.

2. Description of the Related Art As a method for measuring the weight of an object to be weighed,
There is one that converts the deformation of an elastic body into a change in electric resistance.
A load detector based on such a principle is generally called a load cell, and is also called a strain gauge type or a strain gauge type load cell. Especially, as shown in Fig. 5,
It is said to be a load beam or dual beam type, suitable for small loads, and has the features of simple structure, small size, and good dynamic characteristics. This is because four strain gauges 2c are adhered to an elastic body (flexible body) 2d that receives a load, and these strain gauges 2c constitute a Wheatstone bridge circuit, and the mounting side 2a of the elastic body 2d is fixed to a base body. Then, the load is applied to the load side 2b, and the output due to the resistance change proportional to the load is detected.

The loading side of the load cell is fixed to the base body, and the loading side of the load cell is provided with the tubular member, the opening / closing member, and the air cylinder. Since there is no unstable contact part, stable weighing can be performed. Moreover, since the operation direction of the air cylinder and the air supply / exhaust direction are different from the load cell load direction, the load of the load cell is not changed. In addition, since the tube that supplies air from the base body side to the air cylinder is flexible, there is no rigidity between the base body and the air cylinder even when air pressure is applied to the tube, and therefore a load is applied to the load cell. It does not take.

Next, the operation will be described. First, the round bar 15 of the hanging tool 14 is engaged with the notch of the support member 10, and the guide rail 17 is attached in a state of extending from the fixed block 15. Next, the opening / closing member 4 is placed on the two guide rails 17 so that the notch 4b of the opening / closing member 4 engages with the lock nut 18 of the piston 11 of the air cylinder 5. Further, the tubular member 3 is opened and closed so that the guide hole 20 and the pin 16 on the fixed block 15 fit together.
And mounted on the fixed block 15. At this time, the air is sent from the air supply pipe 21 to the solenoid valve 22 and is supplied to the pipe 5a side of the air cylinder 5 here, so that the piston 11 of the air cylinder 5 is kept in the retracted state. That is, the cylindrical member 3 is in a state where the lower opening surface is closed by the opening / closing member 4 and the object W to be weighed is dropped and weighed. Here, the object W to be weighed is put into the tubular member 3,
The objects W to be weighed are deposited on the upper surface of the opening / closing member 4. In this state, a measuring container formed by the cylindrical container 3 and the opening / closing member 4,
The load of the object to be weighed W accumulated is the guide rail 17, the fixed block 15, the hanging tool 14, the support member 10, and the panel 9.
Is measured by the load cell 2 attached to the attachment plate 8 together with the load. Of course, the weight of the air cylinder 5 attached to the panel 9, the solenoid valve 22 attached to it, and the fixing plate 23 of the tube 6 are also measured as the load of the load cell 2.

When the weighing of the object to be weighed W is completed, the object to be weighed is discharged from the tubular member 3. In this case, solenoid valve 2
2 is switched to supply air to the 5b side of the air cylinder 5. Then, the piston 11 is pushed out, the opening / closing member 4 moves on the guide rail 17 as shown by an arrow A in FIG. 1, and the lower opening surface of the tubular member 3 opens as shown in FIG. W drops and is discharged. At this time, the air pushed out from the 5a side of the air cylinder 5 is
And exhausted from the exhaust device 7 through the solenoid valve 22. Since the exhaust device is attached to the fixed plate 23 in a horizontal direction, the air ejection direction is also a horizontal direction. Therefore, since the air ejection direction and the load direction of the load cell 2 are orthogonal to each other, the air ejection does not affect the load.

When the discharge of the object W to be weighed is completed, the solenoid valve 2
2 is switched, and air is supplied to the air cylinder 5 from the 5a side of the air cylinder 5. When the piston 11 is drawn into the air cylinder 5, the opening / closing member 4 is closed by the arrow B in FIG.
As described above, the object W to be weighed is loaded by being moved to a position that closes the lower opening surface of the tubular member 3. At this time, the air pushed out from the 5b side of the air cylinder 5 is discharged from the pipe 2
The gas is exhausted from the exhaust device 7 through the solenoid valve 4 and the solenoid valve 22.
After that, by sequentially moving the opening / closing member 4, the operation of loading, weighing, and discharging the object to be weighed W is repeated, and an electric signal output from the strain sensor 2c of the load cell 2 is calculated for each weighing to calculate the weight of the object to be weighed W. To calculate.

As described above, the mounting side of the load cell is fixed to the base body, and the cylindrical member, the opening / closing member, and the air cylinder are mounted on the load side of the load cell, so that there is no unstable contact portion during weighing and stable weighing is possible. The structure is simple because it does not require a special mechanism for preventing contact. Moreover, since the operating direction of the air cylinder and the exhaust direction of the air exhaust device are different from the load direction of the load cell, the load of the load cell is not changed. Also, since the tube that supplies air from the base body side to the air cylinder is flexible, the tube between the base body and the air cylinder does not have rigidity even when air pressure is applied to the tube, and therefore the load of the load cell is reduced. Does not adversely affect.
