Position: The content of this page is about the patent of automatic Automatic weighing for food products.
1. The equipment, of the type that comprises a support structure or frame and having machine members, driving means for said equipment, feeding means for thecorresponding product, means for weighing it, storage areas for storing it and provided with means for discharging it over means for directing it towards the exit of the weighing equipment, and a programmer processing unit that registers the actual weight of theproduct unit as it is entering into the machine, as it is weighed and also the actual weight of the product unit that at any given moment is contained in all and each of the storage areas for temporary storage, and when the weight of a batch of theproduct units contained in a selected storage area reaches a value prefixed by the equipment user, the programmer processing unit orders the discharging of the batch of product units having said final prefixed weight linkage means disposed between saidprogrammer processing unit and the corresponding members of the equipment, characterized in that the means for feeding the product into the entry of the weighing machine is actuated by the programmer processing unit comprising a hopper, a channel and at least anendless band which band end terminates above a series of troughs opened in the upper part in order to receive the product unit being discharged from said end, circularly arranged and connected, to corresponding weighing means, radially aligned andlocated more near to the center than said troughs, said weighing means are linked with the programmer processing unit and are mounted on a horizontal and rotating platform, through suitable means, in relation to the central vertical axis of the automatic weighing equipment; in that said troughs have at least one movable wall, operated by suitable means actuated by the programmer processing unit; and under said troughs are located a series of stationary storage areas, opened at the upper part in order to receive thecorresponding product previously weighed and with at least one movable wall, also operated by suitable means actuated by the programmer processing unit, in order to allow the discharging of each batch of units of product with a final predeterminedweight, which discharging is effected onto the means for directing said batches of product towards the machine exit.
2. An automatic weighing equipment for food products comprising a frame, a machine operating means, a product feeding means which discharges the product over a series of troughs circularly arranged and linked to respective weighing means, saidtroughs mounted on a horizontal platform rotating with respect to a central vertical axis.
a stationary temporary storage area having means for discharging onto another means for conveying the product towards the automatic weighing machine exit,
a programmer processing unit which controls, activates and regulates the equipment operation,
the product of each trough being discharged into a determined stationary storage area, or into a series of them, until the programmer processing unit orders the selective discharging of a corresponding storage area whenever said storage areacontains an accumulated batch of product units having a final weight equal to the predetermined total weight for that storage area.
3. W herein said programmer processing unit registers the actual weight of the product entering into the machine, as it is weighed and also the actual weight of the product that at every moment is contained in each and all of the storage areas fortemporary storage, and when the weight of the product contained in a corresponding storage area reaches a value prefixed by the weighing equipment user, the programmer processing unit orders the discharging of the batch of product units with said final prefixedweight.
4. Wherein said means for feeding the product into the entry into the machine is actuated by the programmer processing unit comprising a hopper, a channel and at least an endless band, the end of which terminates above a series of troughs opened inthe upper part in order to receive the product being discharged from said end, and circularly arranged and connected, respectively and in overhang form, to corresponding weighing means, radially aligned and more near to the center than said troughs.
5.Wherein said weighing means are linked with the programmer processing unit and are mounted on a horizontal and rotating platform, through suitable means, in relation to central vertical axis.
6. Wherein said troughs have at least one wall movable and being operated by suitable means actuated by the programmer processing unit.
7. Wherein under said troughs, there is a series of stationary storage areas, opened in the upper part in order to receive the corresponding product already weighed and with at least one of the walls movable, also operated by suitable means actuatedby the programmer processing unit, in order to allow the discharging of each batch of units of product with a final predetermined weight, which discharging is effected over the means for directing said batches of product towards the automatic weighing equipment exit.
