Abstract:
1. A transport device for a dynamic scale, the transport device comprising: (a) a weighing belt that forms a preload for a weighing cell; (b) wherein the weighing belt is constructed to transport materials lying thereon and to be weighed along a first direction (X) with a simultaneous detection of their weight, the materials to be weighed extending in the first direction (X), a horizontal direction (Y) running perpendicular thereto, and a direction (Z) running perpendicular to the X and Y-directions; (c) wherein the weighing belt is adapted to receive the materials from a supply device arranged in an upstream inlet area, the supply device comprising a supply belt or supply rollers for supporting the materials and not forming a preload for the weighing cell; and (d) two weighing-guide elements, extending along the X-direction and forming a preload, provided for lateral support of the materials in the Y-direction in a manner adapted to allow weighing the materials during the transport on the weighing belt in a leaning position, wherein a minimum Y-distance between the weighing-guide elements is greater than the maximum extent of the materials in the Y-direction; and (e) wherein at least one of the weighing-guide elements is constructed as a belt element that can be driven at the same speed as the weighing belt.
