Abstract
A weighing conveyor having an increased weighing accuracy. This conveyor includes a conveyor apparatus 3 for transporting an article X to be weighed, a load detector 5 for detecting the weight of the article X to be weighed, and a housing 7 for accommodating the load detector 5, in which a fixed end 5b of the load detector is connected with the housing 7 and a free end 5c thereof is connected with a support member 120 for supporting the conveyor apparatus 3, and the support member 120 protrudes outwardly of the housing 7 from a bottom surface thereof.
Claims17
A conveyor apparatus, wherein when a frame structure is bent around a bending fulcrum of the frame structure, an endless transport belt can be mounted on or removed from at least one pair of rollers supported by the frame structure, wherein the bending fulcrum lies at a location at a downwardly offset with respect to a line of extension connecting respective axes of rotation of the rollers together when the frame structure is not bent around the bending fulcrum and is thereby in a straight position, and being adjacent to one of runs of the transport belt, and wherein there is provided a stop member for inhibiting the frame structure from being bent towards the other of the runs of the transport belt when the frame structure is in the straight position.
A conveyor apparatus wherein when a frame structure is bent around a bending fulcrum of the frame structure, an endless transport belt can be mounted on or removed from at least one pair of rollers supported by the frame structure, said conveyor apparatus comprising a drive source for driving one of the rollers;
- a pulley mounted on a drive shaft of the drive source;
- a pulley mounted coaxial with one of the rollers;
- an endless drive transmitting belt trained between and around the pulleys, wherein the bending fulcrum lies at a location at a downwardly offset with respect to a line of extension of respective axes of rotation of the pulleys when the frame structure is not bent around the bending fulcrum and is thereby in a straight position, and is adjacent to one of runs of the drive transmitting belt;
- and a stop member for inhibiting the frame structure from being bent towards the other of the runs of the drive transmitting belt when the frame structure is in the straight position.
An apparatus comprising:
- a conveyor including
- a frame structure including a bending fulcrum, the frame structure having a straight position and a bent position in which the frame structure is bent around the bending fulcrum,
- a first roller supported by the frame structure and having an axis of rotation,
- a second roller supported by the frame structure and having an axis of rotation that is parallel to the axis of rotation of the first roller, and
- a stop member, wherein
- when the frame structure is in the bent position, an endless transport belt is mountable on, and removable from, the first and second rollers, and
- when the frame structure is in the straight position with an endless transport belt mounted on the first and second rollers,
- the endless transport belt travels around the first and second rollers and thereby provides a first travel surface moving from the first roller to the second roller, and a second travel surface moving from the second roller to the first roller,
- the bending fulcrum is located at a downwardly offset with respect to a straight line connecting a center of the axis of rotation of the first roller with a center of the axis of rotation of the second roller, and is adjacent to one of the first and second travel surfaces, and
- the stop member inhibits the frame structure from being bent towards the other of the first and second travel surfaces.
A conveyor apparatus, wherein when a frame structure is bent, an endless transport belt can be mounted on or removed from at least one pair of rollers supported by the frame structure, wherein a bending fulcrum of the frame structure lies at a location on one side of a line of extension, connecting respective axes of rotation of the rollers together when the frame structure is not bent, adjacent one of runs of the transport belt, and wherein there is provided a stop member for inhibiting the frame structure from being bent towards the other of the runs of the transport belt, wherein the frame structure is provided with roofing member for supporting the run of the transport belt from backside thereof and wherein the stop member is defined by the roofing members.
