PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a combination weighing apparatus in a novel form that smoothly conveys articles having fallen down from a dispersion table along troughs, and a method for using the combination weighing apparatus.SOLUTION: A combination weighing apparatus 1 includes a table 20 and an annular conveyance part 30 for receiving articles having fallen down from the outer peripheral edge of the table and conveying the articles outside in a radial direction. The annular conveyance part includes plural troughs 32 disposed radially around a central axis and plural guide blocks 42 for guiding the articles supplied from the table to the plural troughs. Each trough is formed by a pair of radial edges extending in the radial direction and a groove disposed between the edges and recessed downward. The guide blocks each include a pair of guide walls extending upward from the radial edges of each trough. With this configuration, the articles having fallen down from the table are smoothly conveyed along each trough and a passage formed on the trough and between adjacent guide blocks. |
