Abstract: The Objective of the present invention is to provide a multi-drive motor, which can easily fabricate responding to the design and reduce the backlash caused by meshing gears connecting to the rotation axis, comparing to the conventional motor. The objective is solved by providing a the multi-drive motor comprises: a rotor 101 having an internal gear, a plurality of element motors 11˜14 for rotating a driving gear 102 meshing from the inside with the internal gear and thereby rotating the rotor 101, and a fixing flange 103, to which the rotor 101 is fixed rotatably and the element motors 11˜14 are fixed. The bearing 104 is sandwiched between the fixing flange 103 and the opposite outer ring flange 105, further sandwiched between rotor 101 and the inner ring flange 106, and thereby the rotor 101 is fixed on the fixing flange 103 rotatably. The outer ring flange 105 is fixed on the fixing flange with screws 107, and the inner flange 106 is fixed on the rotor 101 with screw 108.

Abstract: There are disclosed a conveying apparatus and a conveying system in which a force is efficiently transmitted to an article so as to smoothly convey the article in an arbitrary direction. In each of feed portions 15 provided at a conveying apparatus 10, 11 of the invention, a twist gear 34 is mounted on a twist base 16, and is disposed below feed rollers 17, and therefore the degree of freedom of the configurations of the twist gear 34 and feed rollers 17 are higher as compared with a conventional construction in which a feed roller is provided within a twist gear. Therefore, a compact design of the twist gear 34 can be achieved, and also the feed portions 15 and 15 can be disposed closer to each other as compared with the conventional construction. And besides, a large-size design of the feed rollers 17 can be achieved, so that an area of contact of the feed rollers 17 with the article can be increased.

Abstract: A conveyor device capable of moving a package also in a main direction orthogonal to a direction of conveyance, and thereby making it possible to change and maintain a package in any posture. The conveyor device 30 of the present invention is formed by coupling a plurality of conveyor sub-units 1 in an endless manner while each sub-unit 1 by itself has a function as a belt conveyor and the drive direction of the belt of the conveyor sub-unit 1 is in a direction orthogonal to the main direction of conveyance of the conveyor device 30. Some or all of the conveyor sub-units 1 constituting the conveyor device 30 can be made to operate in cooperation with each other by combining the conveyor device 30 with a control instruction device.
