Conveying device

Abstract

The present invention provides a conveying device that is characterized by comprising: a conveyance mechanism for conveying a conveyance object to a container provided with a plurality of support parts arranged at a prescribed interval in the vertical direction; a detection unit for detecting the upper end position of the conveyance object being conveyed by the conveyance mechanism; and a control unit for controlling the conveyance mechanism. The conveying device is also characterized in that: the plurality of support parts have an upper support part provided as a first support part and a lower support part provided as a second support part; the conveyance mechanism has a holding part for holding the conveyance object, and a drive part for moving the holding part in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction; the detection unit detects, in a state where the conveyance object is held by the holding part, the distance in the vertical direction from the lower surface of the holding part to the upper end of the conveyance object as the upper end position of the conveyance object; the control unit corrects an insertion height, at which the holding part is inserted into the container, so that the upper end position of the conveyance object is positioned at a target position; and the target position is closer to the first support part than to the second support part in the vertical direction.
