COMBINATIONAL METERING MACHINE FOR SIMPLY REALIZING HIGH PRECISION MEASURING OF A WIDE RANGE OF WORK INCLUDING VISCOUS SUBSTANCES

摘要

A measuring system consisting of combined measuring machines, capable of precisely measuring and easily performing cleaning of measuring hoppers even when a viscous substance is measured, wherein a plurality of hollow-unbottomed tubular pool hoppers (5) for storing articles (W) to be measured are provided, a plurality of hollow-unbottomed tubular measuring hoppers (7) are provided beneath the pool hoppers (5) and collecting devices (13, 12a) for discharging the articles to be measured after they are collectively stored are provided beneath the measuring hoppers (7). Discharging of the articles from the hollow-unbottomed tubular pool hoppers and measuring hoppers is performed by the relative sliding of the hoppers and bottom plate means on each other. A plurality of projecting portions (205) are formed on the inner periphery of container bodies (201) of the measuring hoppers, further, removers (321) consisting of a plurality of bars are provided in the vicinity of the inner peripheral surface of the container bodies (201) of the measuring hoppers, and the removers (321) are rotated by a remover rotating mechanism (22) to drop the articles to be measured which adhere to the inner peripheral surface. Conveying of the articles to be measured to the pool hoppers is performed by a conveying screw (414) which intermittently rotates through a predetermined angle and makes a single turning in the reverse direction at the time of stop.
