METHOD FOR DETERMINING MASS AND POSITION OF CENTRE OF MASS OF PRODUCT, AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G01M1/12 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: device includes an adapter for installation of a product, which is hinged to three supports, two of which are equipped with force-measuring elements, and the third part has a movable part having the possibility of vertical movement by means of a drive. Also, the device is equipped with an adapter inclination sensor relative to the axis passing through hinges of the first two supports, and on the adapter there is a turning platform, the rotation axis of which intersects with the inclination axis and is located at the specified distance from it. The method consists in the fact that the product is installed on the adapter of the device and the product is balanced with the adapter by being brought into the state of unstable balance relative to the inclination axis passing through hinges of the first two supports. The product is installed on the adapter with the specified offset from the inclination axis; balancing of the product with the adapter is performed by inclination of the adapter with the product by means of a drive of the third support at different positions of the product relative to the inclination axis. When the state of unstable balance is reached, an inclination angle of the adapter is measured and measurement of the product mass is performed by means of force-measuring sensors as part of the first two supports.

EFFECT: simplifying the method's implementation; improving the device reliability.
