SHUTTLE TYPE CONVEYING DEVICE, MICROPLATE FEEDING AND COLLECTING DEVICE, PICKUP DEVICE FOR MICROPLATE, CASSETTE FOR MICROPLATE, AND SHELF FOR RECEIVING MICROPLATE

摘要

The present invention has an object to provide a shuttle-type conveying system that can efficiently convey an article to be conveyed such as a microplate, for example, by a shuttle conveying portion reciprocating on a conveying path. The system is provided with a feeding and collecting device (40) capable of setting a cassette (80) in which articles to be conveyed (95) are stacked as they are on a rotating and feeding table, a pickup device (50) for taking out the article to be conveyed (95) and placing it on a receiving/delivery table (R1), and a conveying device (10) for feeding the article to be conveyed on the receiving/delivery table to another receiving/delivery table by a shuttle conveying portion (11) for traveling on conveying paths (La to Lc) provided below the receiving/delivery table (R1). After the article to be conveyed is lifted up by the shuttle conveying portion and moved to outside the receiving/delivery table, the article to be conveyed is lowered below the receiving/delivery table and made to travel under the receiving/delivery table with the article to be conveyed and conveyed to another receiving/delivery table (R2 to R4) so as to solve the above problem.
