摘要:
A harvest weighing mechanism utilizes a variable speed conveyor comprised of evenly spaced solid rods such that marketable product is suspended on the rods while small foreign material falls between the rods. The product moves at the same velocity as the conveyor until discharged and directed into an impact plate attached to an impact sensor. As the product collides with the impact plate the resultant deflection of the impact plate is converted to an electronic signal which is sent to a control box which uses an algorithm to convert radial velocity to linear velocity and through laws of energy conservation determines the weight of the product required to cause the deflection measured by the impact sensor.
