Errors that occur when counting multiple samples using a counting scale include errors in the scale itself and variations in the individual weights of the samples to be counted. In order to minimize the error caused by the latter, the conventional method is to correct the average weight, which should be the standard, according to the total number of samples each time an additional sample is counted (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 141072-1982). Or, when correcting this average weight, compare the temporary average weight and the average weight,
Determine whether the two match within a predetermined accuracy,
A counting scale (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 70421/1983) that issues a warning signal if they do not match is used. However, with this method, if the number of samples added during additional weighing and counting is too large, the number of pieces obtained by dividing the weighed value by the temporary average value may contain an error close to an integer. may contain one or more errors. In such a case, it is meaningless to perform any kind of "rounding" operation on the fractions less than 1 of the counted number, or to examine the consistency of the difference between the tentative average weight and the average weight, and errors may occur. cannot be detected. Therefore, even if the average weight is corrected based on the value obtained in this way, counting errors cannot be prevented.

The present invention includes a memory that stores the maximum allowable additional number of samples that can be additionally counted with a predetermined counting error, which is calculated in advance as a function of the number of samples that have already been counted, using a quantity that indicates the range of variation in sample weight as a parameter; Only when less than the maximum number of additional samples is added, there is a means for correcting the value of the reference weight by dividing the total weight by the total number of samples.

Next, the sample counting procedure according to this embodiment will be explained.
First, place a predetermined number n 1 , for example, 5 pieces, on the pan of an electronic scale and press the reference memory key.The first temporary average value m 1 is calculated by dividing this weight by 5 and is stored in the RAM. is memorized. On the other hand, the number of counted samples, 5, is displayed on the first display of the display section 4. Corresponding to this number 5, the maximum allowable additional sample number 16 is displayed on the second display of the display unit 4 based on the curve of the allowable maximum additional sample number stored in the ROM in advance, and is also stored in the RAM. Ru. Note that the curve for the maximum allowable additional number of samples will be described later. Next, based on this display, add 16 or less samples, for example 15 samples, to the weighing pan, and press the average update key on the keyboard 3. The first display displays the total number of samples, 20, and the second display displays the next maximum allowable additional number of samples, 29, which corresponds to this total number of 20, based on the curve stored in the ROM. , RAM memory is updated from 16 to 29. Thereafter, the same process is repeated until the desired total number of pieces has been counted. When the number of samples to be added approaches the maximum allowable number of samples to be added by more than a predetermined number, the warning display unit 5 lights up the first warning light to notify that the number of samples to be added is close to the maximum allowable number of samples to be added. When the maximum number of samples to be added exceeds the allowable maximum number, a second warning light lights up to warn of "over-weighing." When the second warning light lights up, the average update key is disabled, which prevents the average value from being corrected due to an incorrect number of values. The maximum allowable additional sample number N' stored in the ROM is the following formula: N'=(1/6Cv) 2・N/N+N'...(1) However, N=Number of already counted samples Cv=Sample weight This value is obtained from the coefficient of variation of Cv, and in this embodiment, 0.02 is used for Cv. Also, according to this formula, the counting error is 1/2
The probability that it will be less than 99.7% is 99.7%. In FIG. 2, the relationship between N and N' in the above equation is shown in a graph.

上記(1)式は、以下に示す通り導かれる。 The above equation (1) is derived as shown below.

Now, let SD be the standard deviation of the variation in sample weight,
When the average weight of N samples is calculated, the deviation of the calculated average weight from the true average weight is with a probability of 99.7%.
(hence 3SD) under It is expressed as If we count N′ based on this, we get
When counting N' samples, the following error occurs in weight units:

一方、N′の試料を皿上に載せたとき、その平

On the other hand, when N' samples are placed on a plate, their average weight is compared to the true average weight. It's off by just that. Therefore, the error in the total weight is becomes.

The statistical addition value of equations (2) and (3) is 1/2 of the average weight
If it is below, no counting error will occur. Therefore, N' that satisfies the above is the upper limit of the number of additions that does not cause a counting error, and by transforming this, the above-mentioned equation (1) can be obtained. However, the coefficient of variation Cv is It is expressed as

Note that it is also possible to store the relationship of the above formula for different Cvs in the ROM so that the Cv can be appropriately selected according to the weight variation coefficient of the sample to be counted.

Initially, in step 11, the first display is
The second display shows a predetermined number n 1 of samples to be weighed, for example, 5, while the number of samples on the balance plate is zero. When n 1 samples are placed on the balance pan, the average weight (first average weight) m 1 of the n 1 samples is calculated in step 12, and it is stored in register M and also stored in ROM. corresponds to n 1 according to the curve of the maximum allowable additional sample number.
N' is located and stored in register N'. Note that n 1 is displayed on the first display and n 1 is displayed on the second display.
N' is displayed. Next, if the number of items equal to or less than this N' is added to the scale pan, the additional number X is calculated in step 13, and the total number n 1 is displayed on the first display.
+X is displayed. If the number of additional pieces exceeds N', the second warning light lights up (step 14) and a warning is issued. If the number is not smaller than 'N', the first warning light lights up to inform that the number of added pieces is close to N', and to warn the counter so that the number of pieces added does not exceed N' due to replenishment. Except when the second warning light lights up, the total sample weight is changed from W 1 to W 2 in step 15 by operating the average update key, and the calculation process is changed to "N= n1 ”
Return to step 1 and repeat the same process until the desired number of samples is counted.

As described above, according to the present invention, by additionally counting samples that are less than or equal to the maximum allowable additional sample number that enables counting with zero error with a predetermined probability, which is sequentially instructed according to the coefficient of variation of the sample weight. , a desired number of samples can be counted without error. Note that if a certain amount of error is allowed in the counted values, the relationship between N and N' above should not be a curve as shown in Figure 2.
It is also possible to use an approximate line graph. Additionally, the operation of the average update key can be automated. In this case, it is determined whether the weight value has stabilized only when the number of samples equal to or less than the maximum allowable number of additional samples has been added, and when the weight value has stabilized, it is automatically updated.
Stability is determined if the weight value does not change by more than a predetermined range within a predetermined time.
