[0050] As shown in FIG. 5, the embodiment of the present application further provides a particle weighing feeding method based on the light scattering method, which is based on the particle weighing feeding device based on the light scattering method described above, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0051] Step S10, the particulate is transported to the sample inlet of the sample channel 21, and the particulate sequentially passes through the detection cavity 23 of the sample channel 21 under the action of air power or its own gravity; the particulate is a particulate with a certain shape, size and density;

[0052] The mass of a single particulate ranges from 1*10 -5 mg~5mg; the detection cavity 23 is specifically a place where the measured particulate is irradiated by a light beam. The diameter of the sample channel 21 is R, and when the particulate passes through the sample channel 21, the distance between the two most distant points in the projection profile of a single particulate on the cross section of the sample channel 21 is L, which satisfies 1.2L≤R≤2.8L. The air power system 22 drives the single particulate to sequentially pass through the sample channel 21, or the particulate sequentially passes through the sample channel 21 under the action of its own gravity, and the particulate is irradiated by light when passing through the detection cavity 23, realizing a single particulate counting process.

Moreover, the weighing process is not limited to high-precision mass sensors, and the counting and weighing mode compensates for the large error of mass sensors in a large range, and does not depend on precise automatic equipment, which is simple in structure, small in size and low in cost.

For example, the batch of particles comprises tens of thousands of particles, each of which has a theoretical mass of 0.1 mg, 50 particles are selected as a particle sample group for weighing at a time, and the operation is repeated multiple times. If the weighing results are all within 5±0.05 mg, it is determined that the quality of the batch of particles meets the requirement. In this way, the mass error of the particles can be reduced, and the accuracy of the subsequent feeding and weighing results can be improved.
