A weighing system for weighing an item when being conveyed comprising: at least one container for transporting the item; a conveyor means for conveying said container in a first vertical direction; and a weighing device for weighing the container;
wherein the container is connected to the conveyor means via a primary connecting means and a secondary connecting means, each of them comprising a first section permanently connected to the container, a second section permanently connected to the conveyor means, and a third section hingedly connected to both the first section and the second section;
and wherein the third section of the primary connecting means is rotatable about a first axis transverse to the conveying direction and the third section of the secondary connecting means is rotatable about a second axis parallel to said conveying direction such that the container may move from the first vertical position to a second vertical position

An assembly line grow pod includes a seeding region, a harvesting region, a track that extends between the seeding region and the harvesting region, a cart including a tray for holding plant matter, and a wheel coupled to the tray, where the wheel is engaged with the track, and a weight sensor positioned on the cart or the track, where the weight sensor is positioned to detect a weight of the plant matter positioned within the cart.

A construction machine, which is a feeder vehicle or a road finisher, comprises an operating platform, a material hopper, a conveyor belt system and an electronic control system. The conveyor belt system comprises a conveyor belt and one or more weight sensors which are configured to measure weight force of paving material located on the conveyor belt. In addition, the conveyor belt system comprises one or more inclination sensors which are configured to measure an inclination angle and/or a roll angle of the conveyor belt system. The electronic control system is configured to receive and process data from the one or more weight sensors and the one or more inclination sensors to calculate a mass of the paving material.

A conveyor belt unit (100) has a configuration-changing mechanism useful for switching between a ready-to-operate configuration and a not-ready-to-operate configuration. A specific embodiment uses a rotating joint element (150) with a thin material bridge (152) that defines a rotary axis. Used with a dynamic checkweigher, the conveyor belt unit has a carrier frame (110) and a belt body (130) connected to it. Rollers (132, 134) are arranged at the ends in transport direction (T) and contrary to the transport direction, with a conveyor belt (136) tensioned across the conveyor rollers. A motor drives the conveyor belt (136) by means of one of the rollers (132, 134). The configuration-changing mechanism is effective between the belt body and the carrier frame.

The present disclosure provides a liquid injection device, including a conveying mechanism, a weighing mechanism, a lifting mechanism and a guide mechanism. The weighing mechanism is positioned below the conveying mechanism. The lifting mechanism is configured to transfer a battery on the conveying mechanism to the weighing mechanism. The guide mechanism includes a first guide plate, a second guide plate and a power member. A distance between the second guide plate and the first guide plate may be adjusted through the power member, so that the liquid injection device may be compatible with batteries with different models. It is unnecessary to perform model change operation when the battery is changed, thus improving production efficiency.

A weighing system weighs an item within a container on a conveyor. The container is connected to the conveyor via a primary connecting means and a secondary connecting means, each of which include a first section permanently connected to the container, a second section permanently connected to the conveyor, and a third section hingedly connected to both the first section and the second section. The third sections are mutually coupled to each other, and are each rotatable about a first axis substantially parallel to the conveying direction, such that the rotation allows for movement of the container with respect to the conveyor in a vertical direction.

A conveyance system includes a conveyance device including a first conveyance mechanism configured to convey freight supplied from a loader, and a second conveyance mechanism configured to convey the freight supplied from the first conveyance mechanism, a weight detection device configured to detect weight of the freight loaded on the second conveyance mechanism, and a control apparatus. The control apparatus includes a first conveyance control unit configured to control the first conveyance mechanism. The first conveyance control unit controls the first conveyance mechanism based on a detection value of the weight detection device.

Described herein is a container suitable for pneumatic metering of a component situated therein into another container, wherein the container includes a container body, a container base, and a removable cover suitable for closing the container. The container has at least one valve head, at least one compressed air connection for the pneumatic driving of the valve head and at least one further compressed air connection that are integrated into the cover of the container, and a stirrer that is also integrated into the cover. Also described herein are the use of the container, a metering system including at least one container, a method for pneumatic metering using the container, and a method for producing a coating composition or a precursor thereof that can be used in the automotive industry, which method makes use of the container.

Method for weighing an object transported on a mover of an electromagnetic conveyor and electromagnetic conveyor. Method includes lifting object off the mover with a lifting device; setting down object onto at least one transport plane of a weighing station arranged at a weighing region of the track and arranged on at least one weigh cell. The transport plane extends in the direction of movement to support the object when in the weighing station. The method also includes actively driving object while lifted off from the mover and while supported on the transport plane with the mover as it moves along the track through a weighing region; weighing object with at least one weigh cell while the object is supported by the transport plane; and setting down object on the mover after weighing in the weighing station for onward movement of object along the track with the mover.
