Due to the weight of a single green pepper, it is relatively related to consumer interests, and has a lot of costs related to enterprises. The traditional way is the amount of labor, that is, in a static electronic, it is called, a green pepper is accumulated to 115g, and then I want to find a 5G heavy green pepper and almost impossible, then you must be from 115g Take a smaller green pepper, add another bigger green pepper. If the weight is larger than 120g or less than 120g, it is also necessary to repeat the above working, which is extremely low, and it is difficult to achieve the result of approaching the target weight (quantitative value). After a large number of investigating studies on this, the technicians successfully solved the above-mentioned green pepper weighing problem using the combined weighing principles.
