TRANSPORTATION DEVICE AND CONVEYOR DEVICE

摘要

The objective is to develop a conveying device and a conveyer device having high conveying efficiency and high reliability when an article is transferred to a conveyer line with different height. Branching units (8) of a lower-level side conveyer line (5) and an upper-level side conveyer line (6) are connected to an inclined connection conveyer line (10). The branching unit (8) has a sub conveying passage (53) for conveying an article (60) in the same direction as a conveying direction of the connection conveyer line (10). The sub conveying passage (53) has a lifting and lowering motor-incorporating roller (43) and cams (46a, 46b). When the lifting and lowering motor-incorporating roller (43) is driven, the cams (46a, 46b) rotate, and the sub conveying passage (53) is connected to the connection conveyer line (10) in an inclined attitude. As a result, the article (60) can move between the lower-level side conveyer line (5) and the upper-level side conveyer line (6) via the connection conveyer line (10).

主权项

1. A conveying device that enables a conveyer line to form a branching unit the conveying device being capable of placing a conveyed object thereon to transfer as well, as to convey linearly,
the conveying device comprising: a main conveyer unit that includes a main conveying passage disposed in a fixed planar region and that conveys the conveyed object in a fixed direction; a sub conveyer unit that includes a sub conveying passage disposed in the same planar region as the main conveying passage and that conveys the conveyed object in a direction intersecting with the conveying direction of the main conveying passage; and a lifting and lowering unit that lifts and lowers at least one of the main conveyer unit and the sub conveyer unit, the lifting and lowering unit being capable of lifting the sub conveying passage above the main conveying passage, wherein when the sub conveying passage is disposed above the main conveying passage, the sub conveying passage takes an inclined attitude in a height direction.
