[0005] A stepper motor drives the turntable to rotate intermittently. When the turntable stops, one open slot is always located at the discharge end of the feed conveyor, one open slot is located at the feed end of the discharge conveyor, and one open slot is located above the electronic scale. At this time, the feed conveyor transports an empty box to the corresponding open slot. The two clamps in the slot, driven by a horizontal telescopic rod, move toward each other to clamp the empty box. The stepper motor then rotates again. When the empty box reaches the electronic scale, the clamps release their grip and the empty box is placed on the electronic scale. The discharge hopper unloads the material until it reaches the set weight. The electric switch valve closes, and the clamps once again clamp the filled box and rotate with the turntable again. When the filled box reaches the feed end of the discharge belt conveyor, the clamps release their grip again, and the filled box is placed on the discharge conveyor for transportation. In this process, empty boxes are continuously transported to the electronic scale and filled boxes are continuously transported away, achieving efficient and continuous automatic weighing operation.

[0019] A bevel gear 12 is fixed on the rotating shaft 9 below the fixed disk 1 . The bevel gear 12 is meshed with a bevel gear 2 13 . The bevel gear 2 13 is connected to a stepping motor 14 .
[0020] The horizontal telescopic rod 7 is an electric push rod. A wire channel 16 is provided within the rotating shaft 9, and a wire channel 2 is provided within the U-shaped frame.
