ARTICLE CLASSIFICATION CONVEYOR DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an article classification conveyor device mounted with an inexpensive, small and light switch rail change-over actuator of reduced number of parts. SOLUTION: This article classification conveyor device to flow an article in an optional branching direction by oscillation of a switch rail at a branching point of the conveyor is constituted so that the oscillation of the switch rail is done by force generated by interaction of a vertical magnetic field generated by a permanent magnet and an electric current flowing in a coil wound around within a horizontal surface orthogonal to the vertical magnetic field.
