Abstract

The present invention relates to a transfer apparatus, and the transfer apparatus includes: a first transfer module holding an object to be transferred on the top thereof and transferring the object to be transferred at a first speed in a longitudinal direction; a second transfer module disposed in parallel with the first transfer module and holding the object to be transferred on the top thereof and transferring the object to be transferred at a second speed in the longitudinal direction; and a blowing module causing air to flow upward/downward below at least one of the first transfer module and the second transfer module.

Claims (15)

1. A transfer apparatus comprising:

a first transfer module holding an object to be transferred on the top thereof and transferring the object to be transferred at a first speed in a longitudinal direction;

a second transfer module disposed in parallel with the first transfer module and holding the object to be transferred on the top thereof and transferring the object to be transferred at a second speed in the longitudinal direction;

a blowing module causing air to flow upward/downward below at least one of the first transfer module and the second transfer module; and

a third transfer module disposed in parallel with the first transfer module and the second transfer module and transferring the object to be transferred in the longitudinal direction, wherein

the third transfer module has a relatively smaller width than the first transfer module and the second transfer module.

2. The transfer apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the blowing module causes the air to flow downward while at least one of the first transfer module and the second transfer module transfers the object to be transferred.

3. The transfer apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first transfer module and the second transfer module are formed to move in a transverse direction.

4. The transfer apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first speed and the second speed of the first transfer module and the second transfer are set to be different from each other.

5. The transfer apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the third transfer module is provided between the first transfer module and the second transfer module.

6. The transfer apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the third transfer module includes a lower transfer unit transferring the object to be transferred by contacting the bottom of the object to be transferred and an upper transfer unit transferring the object to be transferred by contacting the top of the object to be transferred.

7. The transfer apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the lower transfer unit and the upper transfer unit are formed to move upward/downward so as to selectively contact the object to be transferred.

8. The transfer apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the blowing module causes the air to flow upward while the third transfer module transfers the object to be transferred.

9. The transfer apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a guide module of which the width decreases in a direction in which the object to be transferred is transferred so that the objects to be transferred, which the first and second transfer modules transfer, contact each other.
