[0018] When the present invention is in use, the cans with lids installed are conveyed to the top of the weighing fixture by the conveyor belt. At this time, the protruding end of the second cylinder is at its longest, and the two clamping frames are pulled over by the second tension spring, so that the two rollers are separated from each other to avoid the two rollers from hindering the movement of the cans. The position of the can is then initially restricted by the two third levers to prevent it from sliding off the top of the weighing fixture due to excessive movement, and the protruding end of the second cylinder is controlled to slowly shrink to the shortest. In this process, the two rollers are first used to provide rolling thrust to the can respectively, and then the two clamping frames are used to clamp the can in the center so that the can is finally at the top center of the weighing fixture. The protruding end of the second cylinder is then controlled to extend to the longest, which not only facilitates the accurate judgment of the weight of the can, but also facilitates the weighing of subsequent cans.
