<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conveyance-direction control apparatus by which trays can be conveyed to a measuring part at a nondestructive food-taste-characteristic measuring apparatus while its direction is surely being oriented in a proper direction. SOLUTION: In the conveyance-direction control apparatus 2, its main components are constituted of a protruding-stripe introduction part 21 which is installed on the introduction side of a conveyance passage with an arranged measuring part, which is position-aligned with a protruding strip 200 at the measuring part and which is play-fitted to a recessed stripe 16 of a tray 1, of a conveyance belt 22 which is installed on one side of the protruding- stripe introduction part by making use of the part as the center, which comes into face-contact with the outer circumferential face of the tray and which makes a contact force to the direction of the measuring part act on the tray, of a rotating roller 23 which is installed on the other side of the protruding-stripe introduction part, which is coupled to the reference face 100 of the tray or to the outer circumferential face of the tray carried into in a state that the position of the protruding-stripe introduction part and that of the recessed stripe are mismatched, which turns the tray so as to be intelocked with a conveyance belt and by which the position of the recessed stripe at the tray and that of the protruding-stripe introduction part are matched and of a roller conveyor 24 by which the tray whose recessed stripe is loosely fitted to the protruding-stripe introduction part is conveyed in the direction to the measuring part.</p> |
