Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0913342A1] Method and device for determining the weight of the dumped contents of a refuse receptacle (33), the receptacle successively being gripped, moved upwards, tilted so as to be emptied and moved back, while the weight and the acceleration of the receptacle with and without contents are respectively measured both during the upwards movement and the downwards movement, in such a manner that, for each of the movements, a first series of values for the weight and a second series of values for the vertical acceleration are measured, a first sum and a second sum of the values from the first series and second series, respectively, are determined, the first sum is divided by the second sum for the purpose of determining a gross mass during the upwards movement and for the purpose of determining a tare mass during the downwards movement, and the tare mass is subtracted from the gross mass for the purpose of determining the mass of the dumped contents of the receptacle. <IMAGE>
