To provide an oscillating conveyor that can restrict the increase in cost and installation space by eliminating the necessity of a driver controller that controls the motor rotation.SOLUTION: The oscillating conveyor includes: a trough 3 that can be reciprocated and conveys a workpiece: a rotational member 42 as a circulating member that makes a circulating movement by the driving force from a driving source 41, the rotational member 42 making a rotational movement at a constant speed on the oscillating conveyor provided between the rotational member 42 and the trough 3; and a conversion mechanism 43 that converts the rotational movement of the rotational member 42 into a linear reciprocating movement of the trough 3. The conversion mechanism 43 has one end 431A connected to the rotational member 42, and includes: an oscillating member 431 designed to oscillate around a shaft 8 that is approximately parallel to a rotational shaft 41A of the rotational member 42 at a middle part 431C between the end 431A and the other end 431B; and a connection member 432 having one end connected to the other end 431B of the oscillating member 431, and the other end 431B connected to the trough 3.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】モータを回転制御するドライバ・コントローラを不要とすることで、コスト及び設置スペースの増大を抑制することが可能な振動コンベヤを提供する。【解決手段】ワークを搬送する往復動可能なトラフ３と、駆動源４１からの駆動力により周回運動する周回部材としての回転部材４２と、回転部材４２とトラフ３との間に設けられる振動コンベヤにおいて、回転部材４２は、定速で回転運動し、回転部材４２の回転運動をトラフ３の直線往復運動に変換する変換機構４３と、を備え、変換機構４３は、一端部４３１Ａが回転部材４２に連結され、一端部４３１Ａと他端部４３１Ｂの間の中間部４３１Ｃにおいて回転部材４２の回転軸４１Ａと略平行な軸８回りで揺動可能に構成された揺動部材４３１と、揺動部材４３１の他端部４３１Ｂに一端部が連結され、他端部４３１Ｂがトラフ３に連結された連結部材４３２と、を備える。【選択図】図２
