It is an object of the present invention to provide a weighing device in which dropping of articles from gripping means and reductions in weighing precision are suppressed. In a weighing device (100), when at least one of an operation state of grippers (30) and weighing results from weighing units (40) fulfills any condition from among “a weight value of articles (A) weighed by the weighing units (40) not being a preset target weight value,” “an operating distance in an operation in which the articles (A) are held by gripping members (32) being greater than a prescribed range,” and “the operating distance in the operation in which the articles (A) are held by the gripping members (32) being less than the prescribed range,” the articles (A) gripped by the grippers (30) are returned to an article group accommodation container (52) by a control unit (70) without said articles (A) being discharged to a discharge chute. As a result, a situation where the grippers (30) operate while still holding “articles for which the weight value is not the target weight value” is avoided.

A weighing scale has a measuring platform which is supported by at least three supporting feet resting on a floor, wherein to each supporting foot a load cell is assigned, wherein each load cell senses the share of the weight force originating from the measuring platform supported by the respective supporting foot. Each supporting foot is designed as a vertically extending measuring foot and comprises a load cell carrier on which the load cell rests and is attached, and an adjusting foot located below the load cell carrier. The load cell carrier is screwed with its external thread into the internal thread of the adjusting foot such that, by turning the adjusting foot relative to the load cell carrier, a vertical height of the measuring foot along a vertical screw axis is adjustable.

The present invention relates to a support device used in weighing coal of a raw coal bunker in a thermal power plant and a weighable raw coal bunker. The support device includes a base, a positioning sleeve, an upper support and a weighing sensor, a sensor groove being provided in the middle of the base, the weighing sensor being arranged in the sensor groove, the positioning sleeve being arranged on the base in a covering mode, a positioning hole being provided in the middle of the positioning sleeve, the upper support being movably inserted in the positioning hole, and a bottom surface of the upper support penetrating the positioning hole to abut against a top surface of the weighing sensor. The raw coal bunker uses the support device. Compared with the prior art, the present invention effectively meets the weighing requirement of the raw coal bunker.

A coffee scale includes a weighing mechanism and a display mechanism separated from said weighing mechanism; the weighing mechanism and said display mechanism is respectively provided with a first magnetic piece and a second magnetic piece with opposite magnetic pole; or one of said first magnetic piece and said second magnetic piece is a magnet and the other of said first magnetic piece and said second magnetic piece is made of iron material, so that said weighing mechanism and said display mechanism can be attracted together in an action of magnetic force.

A smart base for use with an automated weight scale nutrient and caloric monitoring system is provided. The smart base includes an enclosure and one or more load cells positioned proximate the enclosure and configured to weigh consumable items. A microprocessor is positioned proximate the enclosure and has a processor, an analog-to-digital converter and an input/output interface. A wireless interface, a display interface and a power source are positioned proximate the enclosure. The power source is configured to power the one or more load cells, the microprocessor, the wireless interface and the display interface. The one or more load sensors are configured to measure weight data of consumable items. The microprocessor and the wireless interface are configured to generate an output signal indicative of the measured weight data and transmit the output signal to an electronic device in real-time while the consumable item is being weighed.

A balance assembly having an assembled state and an unassembled state. The balance assembly comprises a base configured to receive a portion of a like base in a nesting relation in an unassembled state of the balance assembly, a pedestal coupled to the base in an assembled state of the balance assembly, the pedestal configured to receive a portion of a like pedestal in a nesting relation in the unassembled state, a lever removably and pivotably coupled to the pedestal about a fulcrum centered along a length of the lever in the assembled state, the lever configured to receive a portion of a like lever in a nesting relation in the unassembled state, and a pair of containers removably supported at opposite ends of the lever in the assembled state, each container configured to receive a portion of a like container in a nesting relation in the unassembled state.

An apparatus for weighing containers comprises a stage configured to support a receptacle for securing one or more containers and a singulation post comprising a vertical element positioned below the stage. The singulation post is aligned with and configured to displace a single one of the containers within the receptacle in an upward vertical direction as the stage is translated in a downward vertical direction towards the singulation post. The singulation post is coupled to a load cell configured to measure a weight of the single displaced container while the vertical element of the singulation post contacts the container. The apparatus further comprises a controller for actuating the stage in the vertical directions and for recording a weight of the container measured by the load cell.
