Digital Filter for Digital Weigher

摘要

A digital filter for a digital weigher reduces a calculation time in an adapted filter while maintaining weighing accuracy, a digital weigher includes the filter for the weigher, and a wave filtering process method uses the digital filter for the digital weigher. A fixation section of a FIR filter removes an oscillating component in a predetermined frequency range, from a digital weighing signal. A determination device determines whether an amplitude of an oscillating component contained in a digital weighing signal derived by performing a wave filtering process falls within a predetermined damping range. A control device changes a frequency range of an oscillating component to be removed by an adaptive section of the filter based on a result of the determination. The adaptive section of the filter performs the wave filtering process with respect to the oscillating component in the frequency range changed by the control device.

1. A digital filter for a digital weigher, comprising:
a FIR filter for performing a wave filtering process with respect to a digital weighing signal containing an oscillating component; a determination device for determining whether or not an amplitude of an oscillating component contained in a digital weighing signal derived by performing the wave filtering process by the FIR filter falls within a predetermined allowable damping range, in every predetermined sampling of the digital weighing signal within one weighing cycle; and a control device; wherein the FIR filter includes a fixation section for removing an oscillating component in a predetermined frequency range, and an adaptive section for removing an oscillating component in a changeable frequency range; wherein the fixation section is configured to remove a character frequency of a weight sensor of a digital weigher which weights objects, from the digital weighing signal input to the FIR filter; and wherein the control device is configured to change the frequency range of the oscillating component which is to be removed by the adaptive section, based on a result of the determination performed by the determination device.
