ABSTRACT

A transport conveyor (1) comprises: an upstream conveyor unit (1u); a
downstream conveyor unit (1d); and a relay conveyor unit (2T) that changes
position between a connected position (Sj) of being disposed in a gap region
(Reg) to connect the upstream conveyor unit (1u) and the downstream conveyor
unit (1d) and an opened position of being disposed in a non-overlapping region
(Ren) not overlapping with a movement route to open the gap region (Reg). A
support shaft center (Axs) is disposed higher than a drive shaft center (Axd),
and a link mechanism (22) is configured so that when the relay conveyor unit
(2T) is in the connected position (Sj), a first pivot shaft center (Ax1) is
positioned below a reference imaginary plane (Ls) joining the drive shaft
center (Axd) and a second pivot shaft center (Ax2).
