Abstract
A combined weighing apparatus 1 includes: a dispersion feeder 3 which conveys an article A supplied from the outside; a load cell 3b which detects an amount of the article A loaded on the dispersion feeder 3; and a control unit 14 which sets a force of conveying the article A in the dispersion feeder 3 on the basis of a detection result of the load cell 3b and controls an operation of the dispersion feeder 3 and the control unit 14 sets the conveying force of the dispersion feeder 3 to be smaller than a current conveying force when a state in which a change amount of the loading amount of the article A on the dispersion feeder 3 is smaller than a threshold value is maintained for a predetermined time or more in the detection result of the load cell 3b.
Claims10
A conveyor apparatus comprising:
- a conveying unit which conveys an article supplied from the outside;
- a detection unit which detects an amount of an article loaded on the conveying unit;
- and
- a control unit which sets a force of conveying the article in the conveying unit on the basis of a detection result of the detection unit and controls an operation of the conveying unit,
- wherein the control unit sets the conveying force of the conveying unit to be smaller than a current conveying force when a state in which a change amount of the article loading amount on the conveying unit is smaller than a threshold value is maintained for a predetermined time or more in the detection result of the detection unit.
