ARTICLE CONVEYING DEVICE

To provide an article conveying device for preventing a canned product from being rotated around a side face in the middle of conveyance thereof, when conveying the canned product in an attitude where a top plate part and a bottom plate part thereof are located on front and back sides in a conveyance direction.CONSTITUTION: The article conveying device for conveying an accumulation body 2 in which a plurality of circular canned products 1 are accumulated on front and rear sides in an attitude where a top plate part 1b and a bottom plate part 1c thereof are located on front and back sides in a conveyance direction, comprises: conveying means that moves forward by a finger 13 in a state where side faces 1b of the plurality of circular canned products constituting the accumulation body come into contact with receiving members 14 constituting a conveyance face; product guides 17 are arranged on upper right and left sides of the conveyance face, come into contact with the side faces of the canned products, and regulate movement in an orthogonal direction to the conveyance direction; and a plurality of permanent magnets 20 that are arranged below the conveyance face along the conveyance direction. The article conveying device brings about a state where frictional resistance generated between the conveyance face and the side face of the canned product is increased more than that of being generated to self-weight of the canned product by sucking the canned product with magnetic force generated by the permanent magnet. The frictional resistance prevents the canned product from being rotated in a circumferential direction of a peripheral surface.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】 缶詰をその天板部と底板部が搬送方向の前後に位置する姿勢で搬送するに際し、その搬送途中で缶詰が側面周りに回転するのを抑制する物品搬送装置を提供すること【構成】 円形の缶詰１が、その天板部１ｂと底板部１ｃが搬送方向の前後に位置する姿勢で前後に複数集積される集積体２を搬送するものであり、集積体を構成する複数の缶詰の側面１ｂが搬送面を構成する受け部材１４に接した状態で、フィンガー１３にて前進移動する搬送手段と、搬送面の上方の左右に配置され、缶詰の側面に接し、搬送方向に対する直交方向の移動を規制する製品ガイド１７と、搬送面の下方に搬送方向に沿って配置される複数の永久磁石２０を備える。永久磁石により発生する磁力により缶詰を吸引し、缶詰の側面と前記搬送面との間に生じる摩擦抵抗を、缶詰の自重に発生するものよりも増加させた状態にする。この摩擦抵抗により、缶詰が周面の周方向に回転するのを抑止する。【選択図】 図２
