AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing weight sorters face challenges in adjusting the height positions of incoming and outgoing articles due to the use of inclined conveyors, which incur costs and require additional space for installation.

Method used

A weight sorting machine with a support frame that allows the feed and weighing conveyors to rotate vertically, enabling easy adjustment of their inclination angles and end height positions without the need for an inclined conveyor, and includes features like a metal detector and sorting conveyor for efficient processing.

Benefits of technology

The system reduces costs and installation space by allowing easy height adjustments of conveyors, enabling seamless integration with subsequent equipment without inclined conveyors, and facilitates efficient sorting and processing of articles.

Abstract

To provide a weight sorter capable of easily changing and adjusting a height position of an article to be carried in and a height position of an article to be carried out after weighing, and capable of easily sending a weight-checked article to an input height of a device of a next stage using no inclined conveyor.SOLUTION: A feed conveyor 2 carrying in an article to a weighing conveyor 3 and the weighing conveyor 3 are arranged in a column in a carrying direction of the article and connected to and supported by a common support frame 6. The support frame 6 is supported by a base frame 1 in a vertically turnable manner and fixable about a horizontal fulcrum p on an upstream side in the carrying direction of the article.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
