上に整列されてＡ方向に搬送される。Next, the operation of transporting an article in the article transporting apparatus thus constructed will be described. When the articles 11 are sequentially and irregularly supplied from the supply rail 10 onto the conveyors 2, 5, and 6, the supplied articles 11 are roughly classified into the states shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. That is, in the case of (a) in which the longitudinal direction of the article 11 is orthogonal to the traveling directions A and B of the conveyor, the article 11 is conveyed in the B direction by the moving conveyors 5 and 6 and hits the bottom surface portion 9b of the guide plate 9. Contact with each other, the direction of which is changed by the bottom surface portion 9b, and the falling onto the conveyor 2.
It is transported in the A direction by the transport conveyor 2. When the longitudinal direction of the article 11 is almost the same as the traveling directions A and B of the conveyor, the article 11 is dropped onto the conveyor 2 as it is and conveyed in the A direction. In this way, the articles 11 sequentially and irregularly supplied from the supply rail 10 are all conveyed by the conveyor 2.
They are aligned on the top and conveyed in the A direction.
