Abstract: A combination scale includes a pedestal having, at its center, an opening that vertically penetrates therethrough, and a center base body equipped with linear feeders and hoppers. The center base body is supported on the pedestal through leg portions. The pedestal has an upper surface formed so as to incline downward toward an outer end thereof.

Abstract: An article transport feeder is equipped with an article transporter removably attachable to a vibratory head of a vibration mechanism. The article transport feeder is also equipped with a fastening unit having an operation lever. The fastening unit rotates the operation lever to retainably engage the article transporter with the vibratory head by fastening. The article transport feeder is further equipped with a movable coupling member having a spindle elastically deformable. The movable coupling member is coupleable to the fastening unit and allowed to move along with the rotation of the operation lever. The spindle is elastically deformable by moving the movable coupling member along with the rotation of the operation lever of the fastening unit to elastically retain the engagement of the article transporter with the vibratory head.

Abstract: In a horizontal combination weighing device in which weighing units are arranged next to each other, a horizontally long base is equipped with the weighing units each including a weighing hopper and is supportably mounted to a support frame in a manner that the base is pivotable around a fulcrum vertically extending at lateral one end of the base.

Abstract: The vibration strength of a linear feeder is changeable depending on whether an article is currently present at a downstream end of a trough of the linear feeder. When articles continue to be vibrationally transported, arriving continuously at the downstream end of the trough of the linear feeder, the vibration strength is set to a vibration strength suitable for discharge of the articles from the downstream end. When there is currently no article at the downstream end of the trough of the linear feeder, the vibration strength is set to a vibration strength suitable for transport of the articles to allow the articles that follow to swiftly arrive at the downstream end of the trough.

Abstract: A combination weighing device is provided that includes a plurality of article suppliers disposed in juxtaposition with each other and adapted to transport and supply articles to a plurality of weighing units. The combination weighing device further includes an article transporter adapted to drop and supply the transported articles from a direction intersecting with a direction of transport of the articles by the article suppliers, and an article split-and-guide member adapted to split, drop and guide the articles in a direction of juxtaposition of the article suppliers.

Abstract: A combination weighing device is provided that discharges, from a hopper, an article oversupplied into and received by the hopper and that collects the article using the collection container. The combination weighing device includes an oversupplied article retainer disposed at a position on a discharge path for the article to be discharged from the hopper and collected by the collection container. The oversupplied article retainer has a collection chute and a blocking shutters and temporarily retains the article guided to flow downward using the collection chute and the blocking shutter.

Abstract: When there is currently no article at an upstream end of a trough of a downstream linear feeder, an upstream linear feeder is driven to operate until any article detected by an upstream article detector. In case no article is still detectable by the upstream article sensor when a predetermined period of time is passed after the upstream linear feeder starts to be driven, the upstream linear feeder is driven to operate by an increased vibration strength based on the assumption that an article(s) is being jammed or articles are being stuck together on an upstream side of the upstream linear feeder.

Abstract: A combination weighing apparatus includes a retaining hopper that retains an article and supplies the retained article onto a transport path. The retaining hopper has a coupling portion adapted to be inserted in along the support rails and pulled off from support rails disposed in a pair. The retaining hopper is thus supportable by the support rails and is readily mounted to and dismounted from the apparatus without using any tool for cleaning and other purposes.

Abstract: A combination weighing device includes a plurality of weighing units arranged in a circular form, a combination scale configured to temporarily retain, in a collection hopper, articles discharged from one or more of the weighing units selected as a result of combinatorial computations and to discharge the articles from the collection hopper, and an alignment and transport unit configured to align and vibrationally transport the articles discharged from the collection hopper.

Abstract: A combination weighing apparatus including a plurality of units arranged to form a circumference in a horizontal direction, wherein the plurality of units include weighing hoppers, each of which holds, weighs and discharges the object. The combination weighing apparatus comprises at least one small unit and at least one large unit, and: each of the weighing hoppers is a single-chamber weighing hopper or a double-chamber weighing hopper, the small unit includes the single-chamber weighing hopper and does not include the double-chamber weighing hopper, and the large unit includes the double-chamber weighing hopper and does not include the single-chamber weighing hopper; and/or some of the plurality of units include memory hoppers each of which is disposed below the weighing hopper, holds the objects discharged from the weighing hopper and discharges the objects, the small unit does not include the memory hopper, and the large unit includes the memory hopper.

Abstract: A combination balance includes: a dispersion table that radially disperses articles loaded from above; and a vibration unit that vibrates the dispersion table up and down, wherein the dispersion table has a table main body and a wall portion, the table main body has a discharge region from which the articles are discharged and a non-discharge region from which the articles are not discharged, and the vibration unit has a plurality of vibration portions horizontally facing each other.

Abstract: A combination scale is provided that includes a combinatorial computation unit and two operation modes; a normal operation mode, and a corrective operation mode in which correction values are decided. The correction values are for use in correcting errors of measured weight values calculated from weight signals of weight sensors. In the normal operation mode, the combinatorial computation unit corrects the measured weight values using the correction values decided in the corrective operation mode. Then, the combinatorial computation unit executes combinatorial computations based on the corrected measured weight values.

Abstract: A dispersing tray is mounted to a combination scale at a top part thereof to disperse and deliver supplied articles outwardly. The dispersing tray has, on a back surface thereof, a liquid stopper that prevents outward movement of a liquid.
