An objective is to develop a conveyor device capable of conveying a conveyance object in a plurality of directions. The conveyor device includes a roller portion (rotating body)and a driving body. The rotating bodyis rotatable around at least a first rotation axis, and the rotating body is rotatable around a second rotation axisin a direction intersecting with the first rotation axis, and changes an attitude by rotating to change a direction of the first rotation axis. The driving bodyis rotated by power around a third rotation axis, and the third rotation axisextends in a direction intersecting with the first rotation axis. The driving bodyis in contact with the rotating body at a position eccentric to one end in the direction of the first rotation axisrelative to the second rotation axisregardless of attitude-changing of the rotating body.

Conveyor device and conveying-direction changing device

A conveying device has: a main conveyor unit; a sub conveyor unit; and a lifting and lowering unit that lifts and lowers at least one of the main conveyor unit and the sub conveyor unit, wherein the main conveyor unit has a main conveying passage disposed in a fixed region, the main conveying passage conveying a conveyance object, wherein the sub conveyor unit has a sub conveying passage disposed in the fixed region, the sub conveying passage conveying the conveyance object in an intersecting direction with respect to a conveying direction of the main conveying passage, wherein a conveyance attitude is capable of being changed between a main conveyance attitude in which a conveying surface of the sub conveying passage is located below a conveying surface of the main conveying passage, and a sub conveyance attitude in which both ends in the intersecting direction of the conveying surface of the sub conveying passage are located above the conveying surface of the main conveying passage, and in the sub conveyance attitude, the conveying surface of the sub conveying passage is inclined in a height direction.
