PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sorting device which reduces generation of slippage even when rotated at high speed, secures smooth rotation, reduces internal stress in a constituting component, and secures sufficient strength.SOLUTION: The sorting device comprises: a shaft 2 which is approximately orthogonal to a conveying direction; a fixing part 3 which has a shaft to be firmly fastened to the shaft 2 and an inclined disk with a predetermined angle; an annular rotary body 11 which is arranged to be rotatable with the same angle around the inclined disk of the fixing part 3, has an outer peripheral surface slidably contacting a bottom part of an object to be conveyed, and is pivotally arranged to be freely rotatable around the shaft; a driving rotary body 4 which contacts, at a predetermined angle, a side in the vicinity of the outer periphery of the annular rotary body 11; means which can select arbitrarily a sorting direction by rotating arbitrarily the shaft 2 integrated with the fixing part 3; and a structure in which the driving rotary body 4 and the fixing part 3 are held in a pressure-contact state by pressure-contact state maintaining means, so that the annular rotary body 11 pivotally arranged to be freely rotatable relative to the fixing part 3 and the driving rotary body 4 can maintain smooth rotation states while always keeping a constant pressure-contact state concentrically with the shaft 2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 |
