備えている。[0003] The conventional path switching mechanism includes, for example, a pin for a distributing body that moves in the conveying direction, a first path in a straight traveling direction that does not laterally move the distributing body, and a tilting direction that laterally moves the distributing body. A switching section which is rotatably provided and which selectively switches a pin of the distributing body to the first path or the second path; and a switching section downstream of the switching section in the transport direction. And a branch portion that is located and branches into a first path and a second path.

る。In the conventional transfer sorting device, the switching unit is rotated so that the pin of the sorter moving in the transfer direction is moved to the first path side or the second path side of the branching unit. However, since the pins of the distributing body are continuous at close intervals, even if the timing of the rotation of the switching unit is slightly shifted, the pin branches the first path and the second path of the branching unit. The impact may cause an excessive load on the distributing body, the path switching mechanism, the transport mechanism, and the like.

止できる。Further, when the first path A and the second path B are switched, the pins 33 of the shoe 31 are continuous at close intervals, so that even if the timing of the rotation of the switching block 56 is slightly shifted, The pin 33 may collide with the tip 71c of the branch plate 71. However, when the pin 33 collides with the tip portion 71c of the branch plate 71, the branch plate 71 resists the bias of the coil spring 78,
It escapes downward around the support shaft 72 while escaping in the traveling direction of the pin 33. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a large impact from being caused by the collision between the pin 33 and the branch plate 71, and to prevent an excessive load from being applied to the shoe 31, the path switching mechanism 45, the transport mechanism 5, and the like.

とができる。Further, when the pin 33 colliding with the distal end portion 71c of the branch plate 71 gets over the branch plate 71 by retreating the branch plate 71, the distal end portion 63c of the branch member 63 of the branch portion 62 is moved to the branch plate 71.
Since it is located slightly closer to the second path B side than the front end 71c of the branch member 63, it always comes into contact with one side 63a of the branch member 63 and proceeds to the first path A. Therefore, erroneous distribution of the conveyed articles can be prevented.
