AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing systems face challenges in changing the posture of rice balls during conveyance while minimizing the load on the rice balls to prevent deformation, yet complex mechanisms increase equipment burden.
Method used
A guide member with a first guide portion inclined toward the conveying direction and pivotally supported by a pivot shaft, which contacts the rice balls to tilt them without excessive force, reducing the load and equipment burden.
Benefits of technology
The posture of rice balls is changed efficiently with reduced load, preventing deformation and equipment burden, ensuring stable transport and inspection.

Abstract
The system changes the orientation of the object being transported while simultaneously reducing the load on the object during the orientation change. [Solution] The posture changing device 4 comprises a guide member 41 that extends from the upstream side to the downstream side in the transport direction of the object W to be transported by the transport device 2, and contacts the object W to cause the object W to tip over. The guide member 41 has a first guide portion 411 that is inclined toward the object W from the transport direction of the object W and whose height decreases toward the downstream side in the transport direction in its natural state, and is pivotally supported by a pivot shaft.
