ATTITUDE CHANGING DEVICE

To provide an attitude changing device capable of keeping the regular attitude of a conveying article, and capable of changing an irregular attitude of the conveying article.SOLUTION: An attitude changing device 50 loaded on a vibration type conveyance device 10 has an injection hole 50b opened at a bottom part of a conveying route 32 of the vibration type conveyance device 10 and air supplying means supplying compressed air to the injection hole 50b. Thus, the conveying article can be pushed out in the conveying direction by both of vibration of the vibration type conveyance device and the compressed air injected from the injection hole. The injection hole can be set nearer to the conveying article on the conveying route than the case of the injection hole arranged at an upper position of the conveying route, therefore, the compressed air can be hit to the desired conveying article in pin-point, and displacement of the injection hole direction can be prevented during use of the vibration type conveyance device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】 正規姿勢の搬送物は姿勢を保持でき、不良姿勢の搬送物は姿勢変更できる姿勢変更装置を提供する。【解決手段】振動式搬送装置１０に搭載される姿勢変更装置５０は、振動式搬送装置１０の搬送路３２の底部に開口する噴射孔５０ｂと、噴射孔５０ｂに圧縮空気を供給する空気供給手段とを有することを特徴とする。これにより、振動式搬送装置の振動と噴射孔から噴射される圧縮空気との両方によって搬送物を搬送方向に押し出すことができるとともに、噴射孔が搬送路の上方位置に配置される場合に比べて、噴射孔と搬送路上の搬送物とが接近するので、圧縮空気を所望の搬送物にピンポイントで当てることができるとともに、振動式搬送装置の使用中に噴射孔の向きが変わってしまうことを防止できる。【選択図】図６
