Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、コンプレッサー用ポンプ等の物品中に含まれる潤滑油等の液体の重量測定方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
コンプレッサー用ポンプは、製造されたポンプ本体に定量の潤滑油を注入して製造される。このようなポンプ製造における潤滑油注入工程では、ポンプ本体に注入された潤滑油の重量を測定して製品の品質管理等が行われている。
【0003】
上記ポンプ本体のような物品に注入された潤滑油等の定量の液体の重量測定は、一般に次の2工程で行われている。まず、潤滑油等の重量測定対象の液体が注入されていないポンプ本体等の物品の全重量をロードセル等の重量計で測定する。次に、同じ重量計で液体が注入された物品の全重量を測定する。そして、測定された後者重量値から前者重量値を差し引いて、物品中の液体の重量値を求める。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記重量測定方法は、物品重量に対する液体重量の比率が低くなるほど、次のような問題が顕著となっていた。
【0005】
例えばコンプレッサー用ポンプにおいては、そのポンプ本体の重量が5Kgとすれば、これに注入される潤滑油の重量はポンプ本体重量の約1/50の100g程度である。この場合、潤滑油とポンプ本体の合計重量の5100g相当の測定重量値からポンプ本体だけの5Kg相当の測定重量値を差し引けば、ポンプ本体に含まれる潤滑油の重量が求まる。しかし、このように測定された潤滑油の100g前後の重量測定値には、ポンプ本体の5Kg前後の測定重量の誤差要因が大きく加わるので、結果的に潤滑油の重量測定値の誤差が大きくなり、高精度測定が難しかった。
【0006】
また、上記ポンプの潤滑油重量測定に際して使用される重量計は、ポンプ本体と潤滑油の合計重量5100gを十分に超える重量を計量するだけの大きな定格容量、例えば定格容量10Kgの重量計が必要である。このような重量計はその定格容量が大きくなるほど大型大重量化して高価となり、潤滑油重量測定装置全体を高価なものにする。また、重量計は定格容量が大きくなるほど分解能を上げることが難しくて、定格容量10Kgの重量計で100g前後の潤滑油の重量をコンマ以下のグラム単位まで高精度で測定することが難しい。
【0007】
本発明の目的とするところは、物品重量に対する液体重量の比率が低くても、物品に含まれる液体の重量を定格容量の小さな重量計を使って高精度で測定できる重量測定方法を提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、物品の重量と同程度の重量の平衡重りを有する天秤式重量測定装置を使用した物品中の液体の測定方法で、天秤式重量測定装置で液体を除く物品と平衡重りをバランスさせたときの物品と平衡重りの重量差に基づく物品重量と、同じ天秤式重量測定装置で液体を含む物品と平衡重りをバランスさせたときの物品と平衡重りの重量差に基づく物品重量を測定して、この測定された2つの物品重量の差から物品内の液体重量を測定することにより、上記目的を達成するものである。
【0009】
ここで、上記の天秤式重量測定装置は、例えば略中央部が支点で支持された天秤式アームと、このアームの両端に平衡重りと物品の重量を加えたときにアームをバランスさせて平衡重りと物品の重量差に基づく物品重量を測定する重量測定手段を備える。この天秤式重量測定装置のアームの片端に平衡重りを常設し、他の片端に物品を脱着可能に設置して、重量測定手段で測定対象の液体を除いた物品重量と液体を含む物品重量を別々に測定してから、2つの測定重量値の差を求めれば物品中の液体だけの重量が求まる。
【0010】
この場合の重量測定手段は、物品中の液体の重量だけが測定できる程度の定格容量のものを使用すればよく、従って、物品重量に対して液体重量の比率が小さいものにおいては、重量測定手段の重量計等に定格容量が小さくて高分解能のものが使用できる。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明方法の実施装置例を図1乃至図3を参照して説明する。
【0012】
図1に示される天秤式重量測定装置1は、コンプレッサー用ポンプの潤滑油を測定するもので、例えば略中央部が支点5で支持された直線状の天秤式アーム4の片端に吊下式に連結された平衡重り6と、アーム4の他の片端に吊り下げられた物品保持ユニット7と、アーム4に連結されて平衡重り6と物品2の重量差に基づく物品重量を測定する重量測定手段13を備える。平衡重り6の重量は、物品2と物品保持ユニット7の合計重量より少し大き目に設定されて、アーム4がフリーな状態にある重量測定時にアーム4が平衡重り6の在る図1での時計回り方向に回動するようにしてある。
【0013】
物品2は、例えばコンプレッサー用ポンプのポンプ本体2である。重量測定装置1は、後述する図3(B)の段階で潤滑油注入前の空状態のポンプ本体2の重量測定と、図3(C)の段階で測定対象の潤滑油3が注入されたポンプ本体2の重量測定を行って、最終的に潤滑油3の重量を算出する。また、重量測定装置1は、水平なベース8上に物品搬送コンベア9と共に設置される。物品搬送コンベア9は、ポンプ本体2を搭載したパレット10を重量測定装置1の物品保持ユニット7の真下の定位置に搬送する。ポンプ本体2は、その軸線を水平にしてパレット10上に位置決めされる。
【0014】
ベース8上に垂直に固定された支柱11の上端にアーム4の略中央部を支持する支点5が設置され、アーム4の両端部は支点5を中心に上下に揺動する。アーム4の図1右側の先端部に平衡重り6が鉛直に吊り下げられ、図1左側の先端部に物品保持ユニット7が吊り下げられる。支柱11に直交させて固定された支持板12に重量測定手段13とアーム4の揺動を適宜止めるシリンダ14が設置される。重量測定手段13は、支持板12とアーム4の間に設置された例えばロードセル13である。シリンダ14は、物品重量測定時だけアーム4をフリー状態にする例えばエアーシリンダ14である。
【0015】
物品保持ユニット7の具体例を図2に示すと、これはアーム4から鉛直に吊り下げられた吊り棒16の下端部に一対の開閉式のチャック爪17と、これを支持して開閉させるチャック開閉機構18を備える。チャック爪17は略ハ字状に対向する一対で、この一対が閉じると各々の下端部がパレット10上のポンプ本体2の両端下部に係合し、この状態で物品保持ユニット7の全体が上昇するとチャック爪17がポンプ本体2をパレット10から吊り上げる。
【0016】
チャック開閉機構18は、吊り棒16の下端に上下動可能に設置されたU形断面の昇降ブロック19を有する。昇降ブロック19から真上に突出したガイドロッド20が吊り棒16の下端部に摺動可能に挿通され、昇降ブロック19と吊り棒16の下端面の間に圧縮バネ21が設置される。昇降ブロック19の両端上部と各チャック爪17の上部がピン22で回転可能に連結され、吊り棒16の下部と各チャック爪17の上部に一対の開閉リンク25の両端部が回転可能に連結される。各開閉リンク25の内側端が吊り棒16の下端部にピン24で回転可能に連結され、各開閉リンク25の外側端が各チャック爪17の上部にピン23で回転可能に連結される。チャック爪17の上部におけるリンク連結用ピン23の位置は、ブロック連結用ピン22の位置より上位に設定される。
【0017】
また、昇降ブロック19の真下の定位置にストッパー26が配置される。ストッパー26は、支柱11から真横に延在させたプレート27の先端部上に一対が固定される。
【0018】
図1の重量測定装置1は物品重量測定前の状態にあり、このときエアーシリンダ14に圧縮エアーが供給されて、エアーシリンダ14のピストンロッド15がアーム4の図1右側を押し上げる。この押し上げでアーム4の図1左側が下降して物品保持ユニット7が下がり、昇降ブロック19の下端面がストッパー26に当接して、図2(A)の状態が維持される。即ち、物品保持ユニット7の全体が下降して昇降ブロック19がストッパー26に当って下降停止すると、更に吊り棒16が圧縮バネ21を圧縮して下限位置まで下降してチャック爪17が全開となり、この状態がエアーシリンダ14のアーム押圧力で維持される。
【0019】
図1と図2(A)の全開状態の一対のチャック爪17の中間の定位置にパレット10に搭載されたポンプ本体2が搬入されて重量測定が開始される。まず、エアーシリンダ14への圧縮エアー供給を解除してアーム4をフリー状態にすると、平衡重り6と物品保持ユニット7の重量差でもってアーム4が図1の時計回り方向に回動して、物品保持ユニット7が上昇する。この上昇始めにおいて、吊り棒16が圧縮バネ21を圧縮して昇降ブロック19をストッパー26に押圧しているので、吊り棒16が上昇しても圧縮バネ21で昇降ブロック19がストッパー26に押圧されたままとなり、昇降ブロック19が下限位置に保持される。その結果、図2(B)に示すように、吊り棒16の上昇に伴って一対の開閉リンク25が開動作をして、一対のチャック爪17が上昇すること無くその下限の定位置で閉じ、各チャック爪17の下端部が定位置のポンプ本体2の両端下部に係合する。このようにチャック爪17を上昇させること無く下限の定位置で閉じさせることにより、チャック爪17でポンプ本体2を確実にチャックしてパレット10から持ち上げることができる。
【0020】
図2(B)のようにチャック爪17がポンプ本体2をチャックした時点で、アーム4の上昇側の片端に物品保持ユニット7の重量にポンプ本体2の重量を加えた荷重が加わる。この荷重より平衡重り6の重量を少し大き目にしてあるので、アーム4は更に時計回り方向に揺動して、閉じたチャック爪17でポンプ本体2がパレット10から持ち上げられ、ポンプ本体2の重量測定が可能な状態となる。
【0021】
以上の重量測定装置1を使用した本発明の重量測定方法を、図3(A)〜(C)を参照して説明する。
【0022】
図3(A)は、重量測定装置1の図1と同じ重量測定前の状態が示され、このときアーム4がエアーシリンダ14で定姿勢に保持されて、ロードセル13に荷重が加わらないようにしてある。
【0023】
図3(B)は、エアーシリンダ14を解除して重量測定装置1のアーム4の両端に平衡重り6と潤滑油の無い空の状態のポンプ本体2を吊り下げ、ロードセル13でアーム4をバランスさせた状態が示される。ここでアーム4の物品側の先端に加わる荷重(重量)をW2 とすると、重量W2 と平衡重り6の重量W1 はW2 <W1 の関係にあって、[W1 −W2 ]の重量差に比例する荷重がロードセル13に加わって、ロードセル13がアーム4をバランスさせ、ロードセル13が重量差[W1 −W2 ]に基づく重量値を測定する。このときのロードセル13の測定重量値がゼロに近い少数値となるよう重量差[W1 −W2 ]を設定して、ロードセル13の測定重量信号を図示しないコンピュータに入力させ、コンピュータに例えばゼロの潤滑油重量測定基準値として記憶させる。
【0024】
空のポンプ本体2による重量測定が終了すると、エアーシリンダ14でアーム4を重量測定前の図3(A)の状態に戻す。そして、図3(C)に示すようにポンプ本体2に定量の潤滑油3を注入して、油充填のポンプ本体2の重量測定を行う。図3(C)は、アーム4の両端に平衡重り6と重量W3 の潤滑油3を注入したポンプ本体2を吊り下げて、ロードセル13でアーム4をバランスさせた状態が示される。この場合、[W1 −(W2 +W3 )]の重量差に相当する荷重がロードセル13に加わり、ロードセル13が重量差[W1 −(W2 +W3 )]に基づく重量値を測定して、その測定重量信号をコンピュータに入力する。コンピュータは、後に入力された重量差[W1 −(W2 +W3 )]に基づく重量値と、先に入力された重量差[W1 −W2 ]に基づく重量値の差を演算して、潤滑油3の重量W3 を算出する。
【0025】
ここで、空のポンプ本体2の重量測定時の重量差[W1 −W2 ]をゼロに近い少数に設定することで、ロードセル13には潤滑油3の重量W3 程度を測定するだけの定格容量のものが適用できる。例えば、コンプレッサー用ポンプ本体2の重量が5Kgで、これに注入される潤滑油3の重量W3 が100gであるとすると、ロードセル13は数100g程度まで測定する定格容量のものを適用すればよく、実際においては定格容量1Kgのものが適用される。このような定格容量の小さいロードセル13は、小型軽量で安価なものが適用できて、重量測定装置の設備費低減化を可能にする。また、定格容量の小さいロードセル13は、物品重量をコンマ以下のグラム単位でも高精度で測定できる高分解能のものが適用できて、100g前後の潤滑油3の高精度測定を容易に可能にする。
【0026】
尚、本発明はコンプレッサー用ポンプの潤滑油の重量測定方法に限らず、冷却機における冷媒液の重量測定や、容器類に収容された水の重量測定等にも適用できる。
【0027】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、物品と平衡重りをバランスさせて物品重量を測定する天秤式重量測定装置を使用して測定対象の液体を含む物品重量と液体を除く物品重量を測定して、その測定重量値の差から物品中液体重量を算出するようにしたので、重量測定装置の物品重量を直接測定するロードセル等の重量測定手段に物品中の液体の重量だけが測定できる程度の定格容量のものが使用できて、物品重量に対して液体重量の比率が小さくなるほどに、定格容量が小さくて小型軽量で安価な重量測定手段を備えた重量測定装置が使用できる設備的有利な、かつ、より高分解能な重量測定手段が使用できてより高精度な重量測定が可能な重量測定方法が提供できる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for measuring the weight of a liquid such as a lubricating oil contained in an article such as a compressor pump.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The compressor pump is manufactured by injecting a certain amount of lubricating oil into the manufactured pump body. In such a lubricating oil injection process in the manufacture of pumps, the quality of the product is controlled by measuring the weight of the lubricating oil injected into the pump body.
[0003]
The weight measurement of a fixed amount of liquid such as lubricating oil injected into an article such as the pump body is generally performed in the following two steps. First, the total weight of an article such as a pump body in which a liquid to be weighed such as lubricating oil is not injected is measured with a weight meter such as a load cell. Next, the total weight of the article into which the liquid is injected is measured with the same weighing scale. Then, the former weight value is subtracted from the measured latter weight value to obtain the weight value of the liquid in the article.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the weight measurement method, the following problems become more prominent as the ratio of the liquid weight to the article weight decreases.
[0005]
For example, in a compressor pump, if the weight of the pump body is 5 kg, the weight of lubricating oil injected into the pump body is about 100 g which is about 1/50 of the weight of the pump body. In this case, the weight of the lubricating oil contained in the pump body can be obtained by subtracting the measured weight value equivalent to 5 kg of the pump body alone from the measured weight value equivalent to 5100 g of the total weight of the lubricating oil and the pump body. However, an error factor of the measured weight of about 5 kg of the pump body is greatly added to the measured weight value of the lubricating oil measured about 100 g, so that the error of the measured weight value of the lubricating oil increases as a result. High-precision measurement was difficult.
[0006]
In addition, the weighing scale used for measuring the weight of the lubricating oil of the pump requires a weighing capacity having a large rated capacity, for example, a rated capacity of 10 kg, which is sufficient to measure a weight sufficiently exceeding the total weight of the pump body and the lubricating oil of 5100 g. is there. Such a weighing scale becomes larger and larger in weight as its rated capacity increases, and becomes expensive, making the entire lubricating oil weight measuring device expensive. In addition, it is difficult to increase the resolution of the weigh scale as the rated capacity increases, and it is difficult to accurately measure the weight of the lubricating oil of about 100 g to the gram unit below the comma with a 10 kg rated capacity scale.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to provide a weight measuring method capable of measuring the weight of liquid contained in an article with high accuracy using a weighing scale having a small rated capacity even when the ratio of the liquid weight to the article weight is low. It is in.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention relates to a method for measuring a liquid in an article using a balance-type weight measuring device having an equilibrium weight with a weight equivalent to the weight of the article. The weight of the article based on the weight difference between the article and the balance weight, and the weight of the article based on the weight difference between the article and the balance weight when the balance weight is balanced with the article containing the liquid using the same balance-type weight measurement device. The above object is achieved by measuring the liquid weight in the article from the difference between the two measured article weights.
[0009]
Here, the balance-type weight measuring device includes, for example, a balance-type arm that is supported by a fulcrum at the substantially central portion, and a balance weight that balances the arm when the balance weight and the weight of the article are added to both ends of the arm. And weight measuring means for measuring the weight of the article based on the weight difference between the article and the article. The balance weight is permanently installed at one end of the arm of the balance type weight measuring apparatus, and the article is detachably installed at the other end, and the weight of the article excluding the liquid to be measured by the weight measuring means and the weight of the article including the liquid are measured. If the difference between the two measured weight values is obtained after separately measuring, the weight of only the liquid in the article can be obtained.
[0010]
In this case, the weight measuring means is only required to have a rated capacity such that only the weight of the liquid in the article can be measured. Therefore, when the ratio of the liquid weight to the article weight is small, the weight measuring means is used. A high-resolution one with a small rated capacity can be used.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an apparatus for carrying out the method of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0012]
The balance-type weight measuring device 1 shown in FIG. 1 measures the lubricating oil of a compressor pump. For example, the balance-type weight measuring device 1 is suspended from one end of a linear balance-type arm 4 supported by a fulcrum 5 at a substantially central portion. The connected balance weight 6, the article holding unit 7 suspended from the other end of the arm 4, and the weight measuring means connected to the arm 4 for measuring the weight of the article based on the weight difference between the balance weight 6 and the article 2. 13 is provided. The weight of the balance weight 6 is set to be slightly larger than the total weight of the article 2 and the article holding unit 7, and the arm 4 has the balance weight 6 when the weight is measured when the arm 4 is free. It is designed to rotate in the turning direction.
[0013]
The article 2 is, for example, a pump body 2 of a compressor pump. The weight measuring device 1 measures the weight of the pump body 2 in an empty state before injecting lubricating oil at the stage of FIG. 3B described later, and the lubricating oil 3 to be measured is injected at the stage of FIG. 3C. The weight of the pump body 2 is measured, and finally the weight of the lubricating oil 3 is calculated. The weight measuring device 1 is installed on the horizontal base 8 together with the article conveying conveyor 9. The article conveying conveyor 9 conveys the pallet 10 on which the pump body 2 is mounted to a fixed position directly below the article holding unit 7 of the weight measuring device 1. The pump body 2 is positioned on the pallet 10 with its axis line horizontal.
[0014]
A fulcrum 5 that supports the substantially central portion of the arm 4 is installed at the upper end of the support column 11 that is vertically fixed on the base 8, and both end portions of the arm 4 swing up and down around the fulcrum 5. The balance weight 6 is suspended vertically from the tip of the arm 4 on the right side in FIG. 1, and the article holding unit 7 is suspended from the tip on the left side of FIG. A cylinder 14 is provided on a support plate 12 fixed orthogonally to the column 11 to stop the weight measuring means 13 and the arm 4 from swinging as appropriate. The weight measuring means 13 is, for example, a load cell 13 installed between the support plate 12 and the arm 4. The cylinder 14 is, for example, an air cylinder 14 that puts the arm 4 in a free state only when measuring the weight of the article.
[0015]
A specific example of the article holding unit 7 is shown in FIG. 2, which is a pair of open / close type chuck claws 17 at the lower end of a suspension bar 16 suspended vertically from the arm 4 and a chuck that supports and opens and closes it. An opening / closing mechanism 18 is provided. The pair of chuck claws 17 are opposed to each other in a substantially C shape, and when the pair is closed, the lower ends of the chuck claws 17 engage with the lower ends of both ends of the pump body 2 on the pallet 10, and the entire article holding unit 7 is raised in this state Then, the chuck claw 17 lifts the pump body 2 from the pallet 10.
[0016]
The chuck opening / closing mechanism 18 has a lifting block 19 having a U-shaped cross section that is installed at the lower end of the suspension bar 16 so as to be movable up and down. A guide rod 20 protruding right above the elevating block 19 is slidably inserted into the lower end portion of the hanging rod 16, and a compression spring 21 is installed between the elevating block 19 and the lower end surface of the hanging rod 16. The upper ends of both ends of the elevating block 19 and the upper portions of the chuck claws 17 are rotatably connected by pins 22, and the both ends of the pair of opening / closing links 25 are rotatably connected to the lower portions of the suspension bars 16 and the upper portions of the chuck claws 17. The The inner end of each open / close link 25 is rotatably connected to the lower end portion of the suspension bar 16 by a pin 24, and the outer end of each open / close link 25 is rotatably connected to the upper portion of each chuck claw 17 by a pin 23. The position of the link connecting pin 23 in the upper part of the chuck claw 17 is set higher than the position of the block connecting pin 22.
[0017]
A stopper 26 is disposed at a fixed position directly below the lifting block 19. A pair of stoppers 26 is fixed on the tip of a plate 27 that extends from the support 11 to the side.
[0018]
The weight measuring device 1 in FIG. 1 is in a state before measuring the weight of the article. At this time, compressed air is supplied to the air cylinder 14 and the piston rod 15 of the air cylinder 14 pushes up the right side of FIG. With this push-up, the left side of the arm 4 in FIG. 1 is lowered, the article holding unit 7 is lowered, and the lower end surface of the elevating block 19 is brought into contact with the stopper 26 to maintain the state of FIG. That is, when the entire article holding unit 7 is lowered and the lifting block 19 hits the stopper 26 and stops, the suspension bar 16 further compresses the compression spring 21 and lowers to the lower limit position, and the chuck claw 17 is fully opened. This state is maintained by the arm pressing force of the air cylinder 14.
[0019]
The pump body 2 mounted on the pallet 10 is carried into a fixed position between the pair of chuck claws 17 in the fully opened state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A, and weight measurement is started. First, when the compressed air supply to the air cylinder 14 is released and the arm 4 is in a free state, the arm 4 rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. 1 due to the weight difference between the balance weight 6 and the article holding unit 7. The article holding unit 7 is raised. At the beginning of the ascent, the suspension bar 16 compresses the compression spring 21 and presses the lifting block 19 against the stopper 26, so that the lifting block 19 is pressed against the stopper 26 by the compression spring 21 even when the suspension bar 16 moves up. The lift block 19 is held at the lower limit position. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2 (B), the pair of opening / closing links 25 opens as the suspension bar 16 is raised, and the pair of chuck claws 17 are closed at their lower limit positions without raising. The lower end of each chuck claw 17 engages with the lower ends of both ends of the pump body 2 at a fixed position. Thus, by closing the chuck claw 17 at the lower limit position without being raised, the pump body 2 can be reliably chucked by the chuck claw 17 and lifted from the pallet 10.
[0020]
When the chuck claw 17 chucks the pump main body 2 as shown in FIG. 2B, a load obtained by adding the weight of the pump main body 2 to the weight of the article holding unit 7 is applied to one end on the ascending side of the arm 4. Since the weight of the balance weight 6 is slightly larger than this load, the arm 4 further swings in the clockwise direction, and the pump main body 2 is lifted from the pallet 10 by the closed chuck claw 17, and the weight of the pump main body 2 is increased. Measurement is possible.
[0021]
The weight measuring method of the present invention using the above weight measuring device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0022]
FIG. 3 (A) shows the same state of the weight measuring device 1 as that in FIG. 1 before weight measurement. At this time, the arm 4 is held in a fixed posture by the air cylinder 14 so that no load is applied to the load cell 13. It is.
[0023]
FIG. 3B shows that the air cylinder 14 is released, the balance weight 6 and the empty pump body 2 without lubricant oil are suspended at both ends of the arm 4 of the weight measuring device 1, and the arm 4 is balanced by the load cell 13. The state that was made to appear is shown. Here, assuming that the load (weight) applied to the tip of the arm 4 on the article side is W 2 , the weight W 2 and the weight W 1 of the balance weight 6 are in a relationship of W 2 <W 1 , and [W 1 −W 2 the load which is proportional to the difference in weight] involved in the load cell 13, load cell 13 is to balance the arm 4, to measure the weight value load cell 13 is based on the weight difference [W 1 -W 2]. The weight difference [W 1 −W 2 ] is set so that the measured weight value of the load cell 13 at this time becomes a decimal value close to zero, and the measured weight signal of the load cell 13 is input to a computer (not shown). Is stored as a reference value for measuring the weight of the lubricant.

When the weight measurement by the empty pump body 2 is completed, the arm 4 is returned to the state shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 3C, a fixed amount of lubricating oil 3 is injected into the pump body 2, and the weight of the oil-filled pump body 2 is measured. FIG. 3 (C), suspended the pump body 2 injected lubricating oil 3 and balancing weight 6 at both ends of the arm 4 weight W 3, a state in which balance the arm 4 by the load cell 13 is shown. In this case, a load corresponding to the weight difference of [W 1 − (W 2 + W 3 )] is applied to the load cell 13, and the load cell 13 measures the weight value based on the weight difference [W 1 − (W 2 + W 3 )]. The measured weight signal is input to the computer. The computer calculates the difference between the weight value based on the weight difference [W 1 − (W 2 + W 3 )] input later and the weight value based on the weight difference [W 1 −W 2 ] input earlier. Then, the weight W 3 of the lubricating oil 3 is calculated.
[0025]
Here, by setting the weight difference [W 1 −W 2 ] when measuring the weight of the empty pump body 2 to a small number close to zero, the load cell 13 only measures the weight W 3 of the lubricating oil 3. Rated capacity is applicable. For example, if the weight of the compressor pump main body 2 is 5 kg and the weight W 3 of the lubricating oil 3 injected into the compressor pump body 2 is 100 g, the load cell 13 may have a rated capacity to measure up to about several hundred g. In practice, a rated capacity of 1 kg is applied. Such a load cell 13 having a small rated capacity can be applied with a small, light and inexpensive one, and can reduce the equipment cost of the weight measuring device. Further, the load cell 13 having a small rated capacity can be applied with a high resolution capable of measuring the weight of the article with a high accuracy even in a gram unit of a comma or less, and easily enables a high accuracy measurement of the lubricating oil 3 of about 100 g.
[0026]
The present invention is not limited to the method for measuring the weight of the lubricating oil in the compressor pump, but can also be applied to the weight measurement of the refrigerant liquid in the cooler and the weight measurement of the water contained in the containers.

【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the weight of an article including the liquid to be measured and the weight of the article excluding the liquid are measured using a balance-type weight measuring apparatus that measures the weight of the article by balancing the article and the balance weight, and the measured weight. Since the liquid weight in the article is calculated from the difference in value, the weight measuring means such as a load cell that directly measures the article weight of the weight measuring device has a rated capacity that can measure only the weight of the liquid in the article. As the ratio of the liquid weight to the weight of the article becomes smaller, the rated capacity is smaller, the weight measuring device equipped with a small, lightweight and inexpensive weight measuring means can be used, which is advantageous in terms of equipment and higher resolution It is possible to provide a weight measuring method capable of using a more accurate weight measuring means and performing more accurate weight measurement.
