Metering conveyor

Weigh feeder according to the preceding claim, in which the conveyor (24) is mounted relative to the support structure (10) via a number of floating self-aligning bearings (30, 32).

Weigh feeder according to the preceding claim, in which a measurement device is provided on at least one floating self-aligning bearing (30, 32), which determines the weight load of the corresponding bearing (30, 32).

Weigh feeder according to the preceding claim, in which the floating self-aligning bearings (30, 32) with the measurement devices are arranged outside the receiving area, in which the bulk material is received by the conveyor (24) and are arranged outside the discharge area, in which the bulk material is discharged from the conveyor (24).

Weigh feeder according to one of the preceding claims, in which the conveyor (24) is designed as a conveyor screw or conveyor belt and the motor drive (M) of the conveyor (24) is controllable.

Weigh feeder according to one of the preceding claims, in which at least a number of measurement devices are designed as load cells suitable for measurement of weight loads.

Weigh feeder according to one of the preceding claims, in which the weigh feeder is designed as a screw weigh feeder or screw weigher (20) to supply an incinerator with combustible material.

Weigh feeder according to one of the preceding claims, in which a speed measurement device (M, T) is provided, which measures the conveyor speed (V) of the conveyor (24).

Weigh feeder according to one of the preceding claims, in which electronic devices (40, 41) are provided, designed to evaluate the measurement signals determined by the speed measurement device (M, T) and the weight load measurement devices and to determine the load (Q) and/or conveyor power (P) of the conveyor (24) from them.

Weigh feeder according to one of the preceding claims, in which electronic devices (40, 41) are provided, designed to determine the weight load of the conveyor (24) from the sum and/or an average value of the measured values furnished by several measurement devices.

Weigh feeder according to one of the preceding claims, in which electronic devices (40, 41) are provided, designed to compare a load (Qact) of the conveyor (24) determined by the measurement devices with a stipulated target value (Qtar) of the load.

Weigh feeder according to one of the preceding claims, in which electronic devices (40, 41) are provided, designed to control the speed (V) of the motor drive (M) of the conveyor (24) and/or the output of a metering device (1, 14), from which the bulk material is fed to the conveyor (24) as a function of the recorded operating parameters, so that the load (Q) of the conveyor (24) is kept constant.

Weigh feeder according to one of the preceding claims, in which electronic devices (40, 41) are provided, designed to control the speed (V) of the motor drive (M) of the conveyor (24) and/or the output of a metering device (1, 14), from which the bulk material is fed to the conveyor (24), as a function of the comparison between the determined load (Qact) of the conveyor (24) with the stipulated target value (Qtar) of the load, so that the load (Q) of the conveyor (24) is kept constant.

Weigh feeder according to one of the preceding claims, in which electronic devices (40, 41) are provided, designed to control the speed (V) of the motor drive (M) of the conveyor (24) and/or the output of a metering device (1, 14), from which the bulk material is fed to the conveyor (24) as a function of the comparison between the determined load (Qact) of the conveyor (24) with the stipulated target value (Qtar) of the load, so that the stipulated target value (Qtar) of the load is reached.

Weigh feeder according to one of the two preceding claims, in which electronic devices (40, 41) are provided, designed to set the ratio between the speed (V) of the motor drive (M) of the conveyor (24) and the output of the metering device (1, 14).
