<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize a clearance between the carrying-out end of a sorting conveyer and the carrying-in ends of a plurality of carrying paths set on downstream side thereof, while keeping the clearance constant regardless of a sorting movement distance. <P>SOLUTION: A conveyer apparatus sorts articles w to conveyers A1-A4 installed together at the carrying-out end, and includes: a plurality of carrying belts 230 wound between tail rollers 210, 220 provided at the carrying-in ends and carrying-out end; a movable frame 240 rotatably supporting the carrying-out side tail roller and reciprocating linearly along a rotary axis-core direction; a carrying-out end position switching operation mechanism 340 moving the movable frame, and making the carrying-out side tail roller face the carrying-in ends of the plurality of carrying paths to perform positioning stop in parallel; tension rollers 250 wound with the carrying belts and keeping the tension of the belts at a predetermined value; and a tension roller position switching means 6 switching the positions of the tension rollers according to the loosened amount of the carrying belts varying accompanying the switching of the carrying-out end position. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
