Method and Apparatus for Weighing Sliced Food Products

A method for weighing sliced products to generate product batches of a pre-determined weight. A slicer slices products which are disposed onto a slice scale located beneath the output end of the slicer. An intermediate weight is measured at a pre-determined point in the slicing process. The intermediate weight information is used to calculate the minimum number of completion slices, based on thicknesses of the slices, needed to meet the target weight. The competed draft is transferred to a check sale where a final draft weight is measured and compared to a sum of the intermediate weight and the weight of the completion slices. Comparison of the weight is used to adjust slicing parameters for more precise targeting of the desired weight of the next draft. Completion slices may be adjusted in thickness to minimize the giveaway weight.

Method and apparatus for weighing sliced food products

A method for weighing sliced products to generate product batches of a pre- determined weight. A slicer slices products which are disposed onto a slice scale located beneath the output end of the slicer. An intermediate weight is measured at a pre-determined point in the slicing process. The intermediate weight information is used to calculate the minimum number of completion slices, based on thicknesses of the slices, needed to meet the target weight. The competed draft is transferred to a check sale where a final draft weight is measured and compared to a sum of the intermediate weight and the weight of the completion slices. Comparison of the weight is used to adjust slicing parameters for more precise targeting of the desired weight of the next draft. Completion slices may be adjusted in thickness to minimize the giveaway weight.

Cooking apparatus with weighing device

A cooking apparatus comprising a rotary table disposed inside a heating chamber so as to mount food to be heated, and a motor which rotates the rotary table. The rotary table and the motor are integrally supported in a floating state by a resilient member, thereby allowing the food and the rotary table to vibrate or move vertically. This vertical vibration or movement is measured by employing a detector, and the weight of the food is measured from the output of the detector. The rotary table is provided with a biasing means interlocked with a door for regulating the height of the rotary table or stabilizing the same when the door is opened. In the case where the vibration of the rotary table is particularly detected, the rotary table is forced to vibrate by the action of the biasing means thereby allowing highly accurate measurement of the weight of the food. The output of the heating source, the heating mode and the heating time are controlled in correspondence with the measured weight of the food, and it is therefore possible to improve the cooking apparatus such that it is conveniently used and to realize a finely controlled heating operation.

Microwave oven with heating unevenness preventing function

A microwave oven includes a control section storing a long period pattern in which each period of on and off times is relatively long and a short period pattern in which each period is shorter than that in the long period pattern. A magnetron is controlled to be turned on and off in accordance with either period pattern. The short period pattern is selected when frozen food is thawed. Since the on time in each period of the short period pattern is short, the frozen food is exposed to microwave for a shortened period of time. As a result, unevenness in the thawing is prevented.

Method and device for determining the weight of foods contained in a microwave oven and for controlling their treatment

This invention provides a method and apparatus for determining the weight of foods contained in a microwave oven and for controlling their treatment in accordance with that weight. The apparatus determines the weight by measuring the heating of a body of microwave-sensitive material disposed in the chamber during a stage of operation of the magnetron at a predetermined power for a predetermined time, wherein the heating of the body disposed on a wall of the cooking chamber which is not screened by the foods is measured by comparing the variation in the electrical characteristics of components disposed external to the chamber. The electrical components are disposed in a position corresponding with the body and in a position corresponding with a part of the wall which is not associated with the body, such that ambient temperature variations in the body are compensated for by corresponding temperature variations in the wall not associated with the body.

Electronic weighing instrument of the electrostatic capacity type

The invention provides an electronic weighing instrument of the electrostatic capacity type which eliminates an influence on a measured weight value of a rate of change in oscillation frequency which is caused by environmental conditions such as an ambient temperature or a humidity. The electronic instrument comprises a pair of capacitors having capacitances which are differentially varied by a displacement caused by a load. The capacitors are alternately connected to the oscillating circuit at predetermined intervals of time, and each time either of the capacitors is connected to the oscillating circuit, an oscillation frequency is fetched from the oscillating circuit. Then, a difference and a sum between two different oscillation frequencies successively fetched from the oscillating circuit are calculated, and the difference is divided by the sum to obtain a measured weight value.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE DETECTION OF THE WEIGHT OF FOOD PLACED IN A MICROWAVE OVEN AND TO CONTROL THE TREATMENT

Heating apparatus having a weight detector

A heating apparatus comprises a housing having a chamber and a door for closing the chamber, and a power supply source to supply heating energy to the chamber. A door-close sensor is provided for detecting when the door is closed. A foodstuff is placed on a table which is vertically movably mounted in the chamber on a resilient support so that the table may oscillate at a frequency determined by the weight of the foodstuff. The housing may be constructed to transmit an impact to the table at the instant the door is closed, or alternatively, means are provided for causing the table to oscillate at the frequency in response to the door being closed. The oscillation of the table is converted to an electrical signal and analyzed to determine the weight of the foodstuff. The power supply source is controlled in accordance with the determined weight.
