A combination weighing apparatus () according to an embodiment includes: a dispersion table () that receives and conveys an article that has been supplied from an outside; a driving unit () that applies conveyance force to the dispersion table (), the conveyance force causing the article to be conveyed; a plurality of conveyors () that receives the article from the dispersion table (), and conveys the article toward a downstream side; a plurality of hoppers () that temporarily receives a plurality of the articles that has been discharged from the plurality of conveyors (), and discharges the plurality of the articles to the downstream side; an obtaining unit () that obtains a weight value of the article that is retained in each of the plurality of hoppers (); and a controller () that performs combination calculation on a basis of the weight value that has been obtained by the obtaining unit (). On a surface on which the article is conveyed in the dispersion table (), a plurality of inclined faces (S) is disposed, the plurality of inclined faces (S) rising along a circumferential direction (D) or a radiation direction (D).

Combination weighing apparatus

A distribution supply apparatus includes: a distributor configured to receive articles dropped from above and distribute the articles circumferentially; a plurality of conveyors arrayed radially along a circumferential edge of the distributor, the plurality of conveyors each being configured to convey, in a direction away from the distributor, an article received from among the articles from the distributor; a support shaft extending vertically and upward from substantially a center of the distributor; a plate configured to change, in contact with each of the articles to fall, a falling direction of each of the articles; a universal joint coupling a center of the plate and a leading end portion of the support shaft; and a regulator configured to regulate an angle of inclination of the plate that slants based on the universal joint, within a range from an angle at which the plate is horizontal to an angle at which each of the articles falls from the plate in a sliding manner.
