ATTITUDE CONTROL METHOD OF CONVEYANCE OBJECT, AND CONVEYING SYSTEM

To provide an attitude control method of a conveyance object, that is capable of improving attitude control reliability of the conveyance object as compared to the prior art, and to provide a conveying system using the same.SOLUTION: An attitude control method of a conveyance object controls conveyance attitude of the conveyance object by spraying air flow to the conveyance object on a conveyance passage in a process for conveying the conveyance object in a conveyance direction along the conveyance passage. The attitude of the conveyance object is changed by floating the conveyance object on the conveyance passage by a first air flow, and rotating the conveyance object floated on the conveyance passage by a second air flow.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】従来よりも搬送物の姿勢制御の確実性を高めることのできる搬送物の姿勢制御方法及びこれを用いた搬送システムを提供する。【解決手段】本発明に係る搬送物の姿勢制御方法は、搬送物が搬送路に沿って搬送方向に搬送される過程で、前記搬送路上の前記搬送物に気流を吹き付けることによって前記搬送物の搬送姿勢を制御する方法であって、前記搬送物を前記搬送路上で第１の気流により浮上させるとともに、前記搬送路上で浮上した前記搬送物を第２の気流により回転させることにより、前記搬送物の姿勢を変更する。【選択図】 図４
