PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively prevent storing objects from being locally piled up in a storage box in a storing-object loading device for storing the storing objects in the storage box installed on a lower side via a discharge/conveyance mechanism for conveying the storing objects and discharging the storing object to be conveyed at a conveyance terminal end.SOLUTION: The storing-object loading device includes drop position changing means having a guide surface and disposed near a conveyance terminal end of a discharge/conveyance mechanism. The discharge/conveyance mechanism is disposed so as to drop storing objects to be discharged at a reference drop position in the storage box. The drop position changing means can take: a guide position of changing the drop position in the storage box of the storing objects from a reference drop position by inserting the guide surface in a drop path of the storing objects to be discharged from the discharge/conveyance mechanism； and a retraction position of retracting the guide surface from the drop path.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】収納物を搬送し且つ搬送終端部にて搬送する収納物を排出する排出搬送機構を介して、下方に設置された収納箱に収納物を収納する収納物投入装置において、収納物が収納箱内に局所的に堆積することを有効に防止する。【解決手段】本発明に係る収納物投入装置は、ガイド面を有し、前記排出搬送機構の搬送終端部近傍に配置された落下位置変更手段を備える。前記排出搬送機構は、排出する収納物が収納箱における基準落下位置に落下するように配置されており、前記落下位置変更手段は、前記ガイド面を前記排出搬送機構から排出される収納物の落下経路に介挿させて、収納物の収納箱内における落下位置を基準落下位置から変更するガイド位置と、前記ガイド面を前記落下経路から退避させる退避位置とをとり得る。【選択図】図４
