H = C−B = (1/2) Lθ
(A) In the case of the driving pulley 12 having a diameter of φ2L [see FIG. 6 (1)]
2C = 2B + Lθ.
Ｈ2H = 2 (C−B) = 2 (1/2) Lθ
(C) In the case of a driving pulley 13 having a diameter of 3 L [see FIG. 6 (1)]
3C = 3B + (3/2) Lθ
∴3H = 3 (C−B) = 3 (1/2) Lθ
Further, the movement angle θ (radian) is as follows.
θ = 2 (C−B) / L
Accordingly, in the first embodiment, the drive pulleys 11, 12, 13 fixed on the same axis as described above are rotationally driven at the same movement angle [θ = 2 (C−B) / L], so that the conveying apparatus shown in the first embodiment is performed. 9, the package (workpiece) 4 can be transported from the mounting table 110 with the package interval B and stored in the storage tray 6 with the package interval C.

(Order) (Diameter φ)
m = 1 P = 1L (n = 3)
m = 2 P = 2L (n = 5)
m = 3 P = 3L (n = 7)
↓ ↓
m = (n-1) / 2 P = mL = [(n-1) L / 2]

The engaging members corresponding to m = [(n-1) L / 2] are sequentially arranged.
Further, as described above, the movement angle θ (radian) of the drive pulley is as follows.
θ = 2 (C−B) / L
Therefore, in the configuration using an odd number (n) of engaging members (fixed engaging member and moving engaging member), the number m of drive pulleys is [m = (n−1) / 2], which is described above. The diameter P of the m-th driving pulley from the smallest diameter of the driving pulley is [P = (n−1) L / 2], and the moving angle θ at which the driving pulley rotates is [θ = 2. (C−B) / L].
