Abstract: 1397879 Measuring weight electrically K-TRON CORP 2 Oct 1973 [26 March 1973] 46002/73 Heading G1N [Also in Division G3] The weight characteristics of an unloaded conveyer belt are measured and stored in a memory to be subsequently used to modify weight measurements made when the conveyer is loaded, a magnetic or optical mark on the belt enabling the characteristics to be brought into phase with the measurements. As shown Fig. 1, a continuous conveyer belt 12 driven by a motor 30 is loaded with material from a hopper 22 and the weight per unit length is measured by a load cell 20. A fixed point on the belt produces a pulse once per revolution by e.g. a hole between a lamp 24 and a photo-cell 26: displacement of the belt from the fixed point is determined by counting pulses produced in pick-up 42 by a toothed wheel 38 driven by idler wheel 40: the belt speed is measured by a toothed wheel 32 and a pick-up 36. A desired feedrate of the conveyer is set up on a frequency divider 52 Fig.4 receiving clockpulses from a selected source. With selector switch 68 contacting contact 70, the frequency of the pulses from pick-up 36 is compared in controller 60 with the set frequency in divider 52 and any difference is used to restore the speed of motor 30 to the set value. With selector switch 68 contacting contact 72, the speed signal from pick-up 36 multiplied at 88 by a weight signal from load cell 20 is compared in controller 60 with the set frequency on divider 52 whereby the mass flowrate is controlled at the set value. A belt tare memory unit 92 is previously fed with the output from load cell 20 for one complete revolution of the unloaded belt, related to the fixed point on the belt sensed by photo-cell 26, further displacements being defined by pulses from pick-up 42. This recorded tare weight is combined at 92 with the signals from load cell 20 when the belt is loaded, and the corrected weight signals are used to determine the true mass flow-rate of material on the conveyer belt.
