A conveyance mechanism (1) includes: a conveyance face (10) for conveyance of a plurality of articles having adhesion. The conveyance face includes: a first conveyance face (11); a second conveyance face (12) disposed downstream (D2) of the first conveyance face (11) in a conveyance direction (MD); and a protrusion (15) disposed between the first conveyance face and the second conveyance face, the protrusion protruding to space in which the plurality of articles glides. The protrusion protrudes beyond a first extension line (FL1) extending downstream in the conveyance direction along the first conveyance face, and protrudes beyond a second extension line (FL2) extending upstream in the conveyance direction along the second conveyance face.

Weighing and filling apparatus for controlling filling device based on a container weight. A linear actuator for driving a drive shaft coupled to container support unit is included, a weight measuring unit determines the container weight from a detected height of the drive shaft detected by a height detecting unit and a drive signal of the linear actuator at the detected height. A first acceleration signal is calculated from a specified height of the container support unit set in advance and the height detected by the height detecting unit, a second acceleration signal is calculated from the container weight and an expected weight expected to be applied to the container support unit. The container support unit is kept at the specified height by a drive signal calculated from the first and second acceleration signals.

A product sales data processing system includes: a sensor attached to a bulk food container of a product; and a weighing apparatus. The sensor includes: a sensor module that detects displacement of the sensor; a memory that stores a sensor ID that identifies the sensor; and a transmitter that transmits the sensor ID stored in the memory when the sensor module detects a predetermined displacement value. The weighing apparatus includes: a receiver that receives the sensor ID transmitted from the sensor; and a display that displays product information associated with the sensor ID.
