Patent ID: 7767915

Claim:
A weighing device comprising: (a) several weighing cells, which are mechanically rigidly interconnected and each have a load sensor that can be acted on by a load, and which have a predetermined load insertion direction; (b) at least one acceleration sensor for the detection of at least one acceleration disturbance; (c) at least one evaluating unit to which weight signals generated by the weighing cells and disturbance signals generated by the acceleration sensors are adapted to be transmitted; and (d) wherein the at least one evaluating unit is configured so that: (i) using a predetermined rule for each respective weighing cell, a correcting quantity is determined from the disturbance signal of the at least one acceleration sensor as a function of the geometric location of the respective weighing cell relative to the geometric location of the at least one acceleration sensor where the correcting quantity takes into account an influence, operating at the geometric location of the relevant weighing cell, of the at least one acceleration disturbance; and (ii) the weight signal of the respective weighing cell, that is affected by the at least one acceleration disturbance, is combined with the correcting quantity, or processed computationally, so that the influence of the at least one acceleration disturbance on the weight signal is substantially compensated.
