Abstract

The present disclosure provides a weighing unit, a batching method, and an automatic batching system for floor production, relating to the field of floor manufacturing. The automatic batching system for floor production comprises a weighing control unit, a weighing unit, and a plurality of material mixing units. The weighing unit is electrically connected to the weighing control unit; and the plurality of material mixing units are in communication with the weighing unit respectively. The batching system can solve, to a certain extent, the problems of relatively large quality differences between mixed materials, a relatively high failure rate of the weighing control unit, and relatively low control accuracy.
