Abstract
The disclosed box-packing apparatus can pack a large quantity of articles quickly and orderly. It includes a conveyance unit, an alignment unit, a transfer unit, a contact unit, a drive unit, and a control unit. The alignment unit aligns articles conveyed on the conveyance unite so that mutually adjacent ones partially overlap and form an article group. The transfer unit transfers article groups to a box-packing conveyance route. The contact unit contacts articles on the box-packing conveyance route starting-end side in the transferred article group. The drive unit drives the contact unit under control of the control unit, to move the contact unit in the alignment direction of the article group while the contact unit is contacting and supporting the articles on the box-packing conveyance route and increase the angle formed by a contact surface of the contact unit and a horizontal plane after the contact unit starts moving.
