Among these methods, when it comes to measuring the weight of various products, the method of weighing the package, etc. for each set weight is generally widely adopted, and it is possible for the set weight of one product to be less than the set weight in the packaging process. should be avoided at all costs,
In addition, excess weight is also undesirable for the supply side, and for this reason, so-called combination weighing is performed using high-speed calculations by a microcomputer based on the theory of statistics and probability, in order to weigh the set weight plus the minimum amount of excess. Technology has come into use, and for granule products and chip products such as peanuts and potato chips, combination weighing devices are used to accurately and quickly process a large number of 10, 12, 14, etc. heads in a circular arrangement, increasing efficiency. We are carrying out a similar weighing process.

For example, in the case of a combination weighing device in which a predetermined number of heads are arranged in a circular arrangement, the product inputted from the upper center of the device is distributed to each head in the circular arrangement, and is distributed to the pool hopper of each head and the weighing hopper connected to this. Following the sliding down process, the materials are finally collected and discharged from the lower collecting chute to the next stage of the package cage process, etc.
Therefore, identical processes for each head help improve metrology.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> Therefore, in the case of a combination weighing device having a circular arrangement of a predetermined number of heads, it is particularly difficult to use a flow-type weighing device for continuous feeding of products such as peanuts and potato chips. There is no problem, but recently, a distribution system has appeared in which products are packaged in one package, with a predetermined number and weight of expensive products such as Chiyokolate and inexpensive products such as candy, In this method, a predetermined number of twist-wrapped candies such as Chiyokolate, etc., are stored, and cheap candies, candy, etc. are supplied to replenish the total number and weight. Control of quantity supply is extremely important, and therefore importance has been placed on the individual alignment and supply of products such as expensive twist-wrapped candies in the supply and conveyance process of products to be supplied to combination weighing devices. ing.

That is, a gutter-shaped trough 2 having a predetermined shape such as a U-shaped cross section is attached to the top of an electromagnetic coil 7 provided on a base 5 on the device frame 4 via a mounting bracket 3 and a pair of front and rear leaf springs 6, 6. It is placed and fixed with its longitudinal direction matching the front and rear vibration direction.
The bases of front and rear leaf springs 6, 6 are fixed to the base 5, and a movable iron core integrated with the bracket 3 is placed opposite to the electromagnetic coil 7, so that twist packaging as shown in FIG. 12 is carried out from a charge hopper (not shown). A solid product 8, such as candi, is fed from the base side of the trough 2, and is given a predetermined vibration in the front and back direction by the action of an electromagnetic coil 7 and a vibrator consisting of a movable iron core, and is passed from the tip side to a pool hopper (not shown). After that, they are supplied to a weighing hopper (also not shown) located at the lower stage to perform a predetermined combined weighing.

Therefore, the supply and conveyance is performed by the vibration of the trough 2 in the longitudinal direction caused by the electromagnetic coil 7, but the trough 2 is aligned in the longitudinal direction of the electromagnetic coil 7 with its extension attitude aligned with the longitudinal vibration direction of the electromagnetic coil 7. Since the trough 2 is vibrated in a predetermined cycle, uniform longitudinal vibration is applied to the entire area of the trough 2, and therefore, the twist packaging candies 8 etc. inserted at the base of the trough 2 are Solid products are subjected to uniform falling and bouncing effects, and during the conveyance process, they are fed in random positions, not only in the front-rear direction and width direction, but also in the vertical direction. A phenomenon occurs in which the objects are conveyed in an overlapping block-like posture, and as mentioned above,
It has the disadvantage that it is not possible to individually supply the expensive tyokolate in a twisted-pack package, etc., and as a result, it is difficult to count the number of pieces in the aligned supply state via a photoelectric sensor or the like during the conveyance process. However, there was a problem in that it was difficult to control the transportation and supply of products.

<Means/effects for solving the problem> In line with the above-mentioned purpose, the structure of the invention of this application, which is summarized in the above-mentioned utility model registration claims, is to solve the above-mentioned problem, by improving the vibrator of the vibrating product conveyance device. Solid products such as twist-packed candies are fed from the base of a trough with a U-shaped cross section, which is mounted and fixed on the top surface so that the vibration direction of the vibrator is intersected by a horizontal plane at a set angle. The trough is provided with vibrations in a predetermined direction, and on the left and right sides of the longitudinal center line of the trough, the flip-up vectors for the product when falling and flipping up due to the vibrations are respectively reversed. When conveying to the next stage at the longitudinal bottom of the trough, it is ensured that a separate alignment and feeding action is carried out, and at either the base or the tip of the trough, or both. This technology uses a detection device such as a photoelectric sensor to individually detect the number of products, such as counting the number of products, and adjust and control the vibration of the vibrator, so that the alignment, supply, and conveyance can be carried out as desired. .

To explain the principle operation of the vibrating product conveyance device 16, when the electromagnetic coil 7 is alternately excited in the front-rear direction at a predetermined cycle, the trough 2' vibrate synchronously in the longitudinal direction of the electromagnetic coil 7 via the plate springs 6, 6 and the bracket 3';
As shown in Figure 4, the trough 2' is in a cross position with respect to the horizontal plane, with the longitudinal vibration direction of the electromagnetic coil 7 and its longitudinal direction intersecting at an inclination angle of θ. During one cycle of vertical vibration of the trough 2' in A and B, and in the flip-up action after the insertion of the trough 2' of the twist packaging canister 8, the inclined inner surfaces of the left and right A and B are As shown in Figure 4,
The flip-up vectors f and f' are completely opposite, and as a result, in successive cycles, the vectors f and f' at the inclined portions of left and right A and B in Figures 2 and 4 are opposite. In the figure, the part A in the figure receives an urging force in the forward direction, and the part B in the figure receives an urging force in the backward direction, and receives individual alignment and feeding action in the front and back. Therefore, the twisted packaging candies 8 fed into the base from the chute 15 are pushed into the chute. Even if they overlap in the front-rear direction and the width direction at the base of the trough 2', the alignment and supply are different from each other due to the opposite biasing forces of the vectors in the left and right portions A and B of the inner inclined surface of the trough 2'. Therefore, the inner bottom of the trough 2' is surely individually aligned and fed during the conveyance process in the direction of the tip, and when being thrown into the pool hopper 18 from the tip. This ensures that they are fed one by one in an aligned supply form.
