CONVEYING APPARATUS |
摘要 |
According to one embodiment, a conveying apparatus includes: a conveyor configured to convey a conveyed item at a predetermined speed; a first gap detector provided midway in the conveyor, the first gap detector being configured to detect a first preceding gap between the conveyed item and a preceding conveyed item that is conveyed immediately before the conveyed item, and a following gap between the conveyed item and a following conveyed item that is conveyed immediately behind the conveyed item; at least two speed adjusters provided midway in the conveyor downstream from the first gap detector, the speed adjusters being configured to adjust a conveying speed of the conveyed item;;at least two conveyed item position detectors, one of the conveyed item position detectors being provided for each of the speed adjusters, the conveyed item position detectors being configured to detect a position that a front end position of the conveyed item in the conveying direction has reached and a position that a rear end position of the conveyed item in the conveying direction has reached with respect to the corresponding speed adjuster; and a controller configured to individually control a conveying speed of the conveyed item at each of the speed adjusters based on a result of the detection performed by the first gap detector and a result of the detection performed by the conveyed item position detectors. |
