  • Patent number: 11828643
    Abstract: The present invention deals with a filling device (1) and a weighing device, wherein at least one 3D sensor (2) is provided to capture at least a partial area of the transport surface, virtually dividing the detected area into a plurality of sectors (3) and zones (4). The at least one sensor (2) is adapted to determine a distance to the measuring point as well as a respective angle of incidence at which the measuring point of the detected surface is measured, The filling device (1) is adapted to make a division into sectors (3) and zones (4) dynamically as a function of at least one influencing variable (E) to derive relevant information for the regulation of the control parameters therefrom in order to achieve a controlled product distribution.

  • Publication number: 20210396571
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a signal processing method for weight signals (W) of scales, in particular combination scales (K). Signal processing is performed using preprocessed discrete values (W(i)) of the weight signal (W), which are supplied to at least one artificial neural network. With the help of this at least one artificial neural network, an estimated value (SW) for the actual weight is determined, for example in a weighing device of a combination scale. This is performed faster than if waiting for the actual weight signal. The estimated values (SW) are forwarded to the combination scale (KW), which uses them to form combinations.

  • Patent number: 9651414
    Abstract: A filling device for a weighing device includes a loading device for the feeding of products, a transport area, which is supplied with products from the loading device, at least one sensor for capturing and forwarding of product occupation information on the transport area, and a control means. The at least one sensor is thereby formed to capture at least a partial area of the transport area and the control means is formed to divide the area captured by the at least one sensor virtually in a multiplicity of sectors. Further, a method for performing of a monitoring and capturing process of a filling of a filling device is disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20150241266
    Abstract: An assembly of a load cell with an armature joined thereto and an electromagnet. The electromagnet and the armature are separately fixed and they are arranged such that a magnet force which is opposite to a deflection during a weighing procedure and which reduces a deflection caused by an impact momentum of an object to be weighed is exerted to the load cell when the electromagnet is activated.
