PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an alignment distribution machine in which there is not need of operation stop of an alignment distribution machine and a production plant using an alignment distribution machine at failure of several distribution ends of two or more lines of two or more distribution objects.SOLUTION: An alignment distribution machine (12) in which two or more distribution objects (G) are distributed to two or more distribution ends (14A-D) by lines having the same number with a number of two or more distribution ends includes: distribution end trouble detection means (32A-D) that detect respective failures of two or more distribution ends and emit failure signals a distribution object feed rate adjustable means (28) that can change feed rates of two or more distribution objects in two or more distribution lines of two or more distribution objects to two or more distribution ends, and that lower the feed rates with generation of failure signals by distribution end trouble detection means and distribution object distribution means (30A, 30B) in which distribution objects in distribution lines that correspond to distribution ends in which failures are detected by distribution end trouble detection means are distributed to distribution lines that correspond to distribution ends in which failures are not detected by distribution end trouble detection means.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】複数の分配物の複数の列の幾つかの分配先の障害時に、整列分配機、そして整列分配機使用製造プラント、の動作停止の必要がない整列分配機を提供することである。【解決手段】複数の分配先(14A~D)に対し複数の分配物(G)を複数の分配先の数と同数の列により分配する整列分配機(12)は:複数の分配先の夫々の故障を検出し故障信号を発する分配先故障検出手段(32A~D)と;複数の分配先に対する複数の分配物の複数の分配列における複数の分配物の供給速度を変化させることが出来、分配先故障検出手段による故障信号の発生に伴い前記供給速度を低下させる分配物供給速度可変手段(28)と;分配先故障検出手段により故障が検出された分配先に対応している分配列中の分配物を、分配先故障検出手段により故障が検出されていない分配先に対応している分配列に振り分ける分配物振り分け手段(30A,30B)と;を備えることを特徴とする。【選択図】 図2
