    Abstract: A combination weighing apparatus includes a plurality of hoppers and a collecting chute. The collecting chute has at least a chute portion configured to receive articles discharged from the plurality of hoppers and slide the articles. A plurality of sliding areas is provided in the chute portion to extend from below the plurality of hoppers to a side of a centerline and be positioned on a lower side as approaching the centerline. A sliding surface, a first receiving surface, and a second receiving surface included in each of the plurality of sliding areas mutually have an intersecting positional relationship to protrude outward with respect to the centerline. A width of the sliding surface increases as approaching the centerline, and a width of each of the first receiving surface and the second receiving surface decreases as approaching the centerline.

    Abstract: Provided is a dispersion and supply apparatus and a combination weighing apparatus capable of uniformly supplying articles to a plurality of positions from a dispersion table. A dispersion and supply apparatus 20 includes an acquisition unit 64 that acquires a load amount of an article on a dispersion table 22, a calculation unit 104 that calculates a deviation in a loading state of the article based on the load amount acquired by the acquisition unit 64, and a control unit 106 that controls a driving unit 30 such that a conveying direction of the article on the dispersion table 22 is changed based on the deviation in the loading state of the article calculated by the calculation unit 104.

    Abstract: Provided is a combination weighing device whereby a physical quantity for assessing the quantity of articles loaded on a conveyance path for conveying articles to a weighing part can be accurately sensed in non-contact manner in order to appropriately control the supplying of articles to the weighing part, without the sensing being affected by a structure above the combination weighing device and/or side walls provided to sides of the conveyance path. A combination weighing device (10) is provided with cameras (60) and a plurality of radial feeders (30) for conveying articles to weighing hoppers (50). The radial feeders (30) have side walls (31a) for surrounding sides of an article conveyance path. The side walls (31a) extend upward and along a conveyance direction of the articles. The cameras (60) sense, in non-contact manner, a physical quantity for assessing a quantity of articles loaded on the radial feeders (30). The cameras (60) sense the physical quantity from above the radial feeders (30), and in an obliquely downward direction from an upstream side to a downstream side in the conveyance direction of the articles.

    Abstract: A combination weighing apparatus includes a dispersion table configured to convey an article from a received center to an outer side, the article being supplied from an outside, a plurality of conveying feeders disposed outside the dispersion table, the plurality of conveying feeders being configured to further convey the article conveyed from the dispersion table, a detector configured to detect a loading status information of the article in each of the plurality of conveying feeders, and a controller configured to receive a detection result of the detector. The controller is configured to generate a vector information based on the loading status information detected by the detector and a position information of the plurality of conveying feeders with respect to a center of the dispersion table, and generate a biased center of the article on the dispersion table obtained based on the vector information.
