Abstract
Disclosed herein a conveying device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The conveying device may include a rotation part including a friction layer on a surface thereof, and formed to extend in one direction, and a track part formed to spirally surround an outer circumference of the rotation part and extending along a direction in which the rotation part extends, wherein the rotation part may rotate about a center axis and conveys a conveyed material being conveyed in the conveying device in the one direction using a frictional force of the friction layer, and the track part may support the conveyed material being conveyed in the one direction.
Claims9
A conveying device comprising:
- a rotation part including a friction layer on a surface thereof, and formed to extend in one direction;
- and
- a track part formed to spirally surround an outer circumference of the rotation part and extending along a direction in which the rotation part extends,
- wherein the rotation part rotates about a center axis and conveys a conveyed material being conveyed in the conveying device in the one direction using a frictional force of the friction layer, and
- wherein the track part supports the conveyed material being conveyed in the one direction,
- wherein the track part includes:
- a first support area formed to face the rotation part and configured to support the conveyed material so that the conveyed material does not move away from the rotation part;
- and
- a second support area formed substantially perpendicular to the first support area and configured to support the conveyed material in the one direction, and
- wherein the conveyed material is in contact with the friction layer at at least one contact point, and is supported in the one direction by the second support area so that the conveyed material is disposed in a state inclined with respect to the one direction.
