However, as described above, this type of weighing device measures the weight of the article while the article is being moved by the weighing conveyor, and therefore receives a weighing error due to aerodynamic forces such as lift. There is a problem of causing. In particular, as the conveying speed of the measuring conveyor increases, the lifting force also increases, and this measurement error increases. Further, also in the carry-in conveyor, if the posture of the article is not stable due to the lifting force, the measurement error in the measurement conveyor in which the article was sent in that state becomes large, and in the carry-out conveyor,
It adversely affects processing such as packaging in the next process. An object of the present invention is to provide a carrier device that can improve the stability of the posture of an article against an aerodynamic force such as a lift force generated during the carrier, and a weighing device using the carrier device.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the transfer device is a belt type conveyor, and the transfer belt is a flat belt. The flat belt is more suitable for conveying the article in a stable posture than the round belt. However, in the case of a flat belt, the distance between the top plate (a part of the conveyor frame) on the lower side of the belt and the lower surface of the article becomes small, and therefore, an amount sufficient to generate a negative pressure between the article and the flat plate. It becomes difficult for the air flow to occur. Even then,
Since the groove can be provided and a sufficient amount of airflow can be introduced to effectively generate downforce, the posture of the article can be further stabilized and conveyed.

The transfer conveyor 10 configured as described above.
The lifted force U shown in FIG. 1C acts mainly on the air flow flowing on the upper surface of the article 50 conveyed by, and the downforce D acts on the air flow flowing in the groove portion 21 on the lower surface. Make the downforce D larger than the lift U,
It is preferable that the lift U is completely canceled and the article is pressed toward the top plate 14, that is, toward the groove 21. In this way, the lift U is canceled by the down force D, and the posture of the article 50 on the flat belts 15 and 16 is stabilized. Further, with the cancellation or reduction of the lift U, the measurement value by the weight detection device 30 is prevented from shifting to the smaller side, and the measurement accuracy is also improved. Where the ceiling 14
Since a force in the opposite direction to the down force D acts on the object, a weight value error of the article 50 due to the down face D does not occur.

2A and 2B show a transfer conveyor 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the groove portion 21 extending in the transport direction E has a constant depth and a wide width on the carry-in side (left side) and a narrow width on the carry-out side (right side). . The larger the cross-sectional area (the cross-sectional area) of the groove portion 21, the smaller the air flow velocity, and therefore the downforce D also becomes smaller.

In the second embodiment, since the width of the groove 21 is gradually reduced along the carrying direction E of the article 50, the downforce D acting on the article 50 is small on the carry-in side and on the carry-out side. It changes to become larger. As a result, even for an article 50 in which the head is likely to move up and down, there is no possibility of causing a sudden head lowering due to a large downforce immediately after being carried in to cause vertical rocking, and the head is gradually lowered, so that the posture is stabilized and the weighing is performed. Improved accuracy is achieved. Depending on the shape of the article 50, conversely, the groove width of the groove portion 21 may be smaller on the carry-in side and larger on the carry-out side.
