<p>A conveyor device comprising a branch path, wherein the number of articles sorted to the branch path is accurately counted. A conveyor device (1) is a device for conveying articles and is provided with a main conveyor (5), a first branch path (7), a first detector (23), a second detector (24), a detected-information processing unit (51), and a charging conveyor (3). The first branch path (7) is branched at a first branch point (17) from the main conveyor (5). The first detector (23) and the second detector (24) are provided at both the front and rear sides of the first branch point (17) in the conveyance direction and detect the articles on the main conveyor (5). The detected-information processing unit (51) calculates, on the basis of the difference between the number of articles detected by each of the first detector (23) and the second detector (24), the number of articles sorted to the first branch path (7).</p> |
