Patent

CA 2222720

A non-intrusive method and apparatus for determining the center of gravity of a package, while the package is moving. A multi-segment conveyor is used having segments at different slopes relative to each other, along with sensors used to approximate the time it takes a box to "tilt" from one conveyor segment to the other. Also disclosed is the use of a herringbone conveyor in conjunction with a plurality of sidewardly disposed sensors to approximate one spacial coordinate of the package's gravity center with the use of the tilting process.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil non intrusifs pour déterminer le centre de gravité d'un colis en défilement. Un convoyeur multisegment est utilisé et comporte des segments présentant différentes inclinaisons les uns par rapport aux autres, ainsi que des capteurs servant à mesurer approximativement la durée nécessaire à un colis pour "s'incliner" d'un segment de convoyeur à l'autre. L'invention concerne également l'utilisation d'un convoyeur à chevrons conjointement avec une pluralité de capteurs disposés obliquement pour mesurer approximativement une coordonnée spatiale du centre de gravité du colis à l'aide du processus d'inclinaison du colis.
