Abstract: A motor unit configured to be inserted into a separately prepared roller body to constitute a motor incorporating roller, comprising an outer cylinder, a motor, a brake member, and a circuit board, wherein the outer cylinder incorporates the motor, the brake member, and the circuit board, wherein the brake member is located between the motor and the circuit board in the outer cylinder, and wherein the circuit board is wired to the motor and the brake member in the outer cylinder.

Abstract: A discharge device is constructed so that, when conveyance destinations for a preceding conveyed object and a closely spaced succeeding conveyed object are different, the objects can be conveyed without stopping the conveyance of the succeeding conveyed object. The device has: a) discharge members that extend and retract between a plurality of conveying bodies in a main conveying conveyor, come into contact with a conveyed object when the discharge members extend between the conveying bodies, and impart a conveying force to the conveyed object, the force being in a direction different from that of the conveying bodies; b) a base member that supports the discharge members; and c) a and base swinging unit that swings the base member. By swinging the base member, it is possible to make the discharge members on the upstream side and the downstream side in the conveyance direction individually extend and retract between the conveying bodies.

Abstract: The objective is to develop a conveying device and a conveyer device having high conveying efficiency and high reliability when an article is transferred to a conveyer line with different height. Branching units (8) of a lower-level side conveyer line (5) and an upper-level side conveyer line (6) are connected to an inclined connection conveyer line (10). The branching unit (8) has a sub conveying passage (53) for conveying an article (60) in the same direction as a conveying direction of the connection conveyer line (10). The sub conveying passage (53) has a lifting and lowering motor-incorporating roller (43) and cams (46a, 46b). When the lifting and lowering motor-incorporating roller (43) is driven, the cams (46a, 46b) rotate, and the sub conveying passage (53) is connected to the connection conveyer line (10) in an inclined attitude. As a result, the article (60) can move between the lower-level side conveyer line (5) and the upper-level side conveyer line (6) via the connection conveyer line (10).

Abstract: Provided is a conveyed-object discharge device that, when the conveyance destinations for a preceding conveyed object and a succeeding conveyed object are different, can convey the conveyed objects without stopping the conveyance of the succeeding conveyed object in a state in which the space between the preceding conveyed object and the succeeding conveyed object is small. The conveyed-object discharge device includes discharge members (9) that extend and retract between a plurality of conveying bodies (5) in a main conveying conveyor (2), come into contact with a conveyed object (25) when the discharge members (9) extend between the conveying bodies (5), and impart a conveying force to the conveyed object (25), the force being in the direction different from that of the conveying bodies (5), a base member (8) that supports the discharge members (9), and base swinging unit (75, 76) that swings the base member (8).
