WEIGHING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01G11/00 

FIELD: measuring equipment.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises of a plurality of heads which, during operation, are configured to contain and deliver the product; the first and second feed chutes positioned to receive the product supplied from the respective first and second subsets of the plurality of heads and each of which, during operation, selectively supplies said product to the first location or to the second location; a combinational weighing system, configured to determine a combination of one or more heads from a plurality of heads, which contain the product and that, in combination, satisfy the target criterion, and to supply the product in a specific combination in one or more heads through their respective feed chute (chutes) to the first location, and, in addition, in which the combinational weighing system is configured to determine during operation the combination of one or more heads, which, in combination, satisfy the target criterion, from the subset of the heads, in which the set status did not occur. The first and second feed chutes comprise of the first and the second synchronizing funnels, respectively. Said synchronizing funnels are designed to receive and hold the product from the first and second feed chutes, in which each of said first and second synchronizing funnels are configured to operate in the first mode to deliver the product to the first location and in the second mode to deliver the product to the second location. And said combinational weighting system is further configured, after supplying the product from the determined head combination to the first location, to select the first mode and, after supplying the product from the head (s), in which the set status occurred, to select the second mode.

EFFECT: increasing the efficiency of dosing the product and compensating for dosing errors.
