[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a flower roller storage rack 100, including a storage frame 1, a conveying structure, a plurality of flower rollers 3, and a plurality of fixing structures; the conveying structure includes two conveying chains 21 spaced apart along the width direction of the storage frame 1, both conveying chains 21 extending along the length direction of the storage frame 1 and having a reciprocating stroke along the length direction of the storage frame 1; the plurality of flower rollers 3 are mounted on the two conveying chains 21, and the plurality of flower rollers 3 are spaced apart along the movement direction of the conveying chains 21; the plurality of fixing structures are respectively disposed between the plurality of flower rollers 3 and the conveying chains 21, and the fixing structures are used to fix or loosen the flower rollers 3.

[0045] In the flower roller storage rack provided by the present invention, a conveying structure is provided on the storage frame 1. The conveying structure includes two conveying chains 21, and multiple flower rollers 3 are installed on the conveying chains 21 at intervals to facilitate the storage of multiple flower rollers 3, ensure that multiple flower rollers 3 do not interfere with or squeeze each other, and facilitate the storage and retrieval of multiple flower rollers 3 through the movement of the conveying chains 21. The flower rollers 3 are fixed and retrieved through the fixing structure, thereby improving the safety of the storage of flower rollers 3 and the convenience of using flower rollers 3.

[0046] Furthermore, the conveying structure also includes two drive components, which are used to drive the two conveyor chains 21 respectively. In this embodiment, the two drive components drive the two conveyor chains 21 respectively, so that the two conveyor chains 21 can stably convey the patterned roller 3. At the same time, the drive device is built into the patterned roller storage rack 100 to ensure the simplicity of the system.

[0047] For details, please refer to Figure 2The drive assembly includes a drive gear 22, a driven gear 23, and a drive motor 24. The drive gear 22 is rotatably mounted on the storage frame 1 about its width axis. The driven gear 23 is rotatably mounted on the storage frame 1 about its width axis and is spaced apart from the drive gear 22 along the length of the storage frame 1. The drive motor 24 is mounted on the storage frame 1 to drive the drive gear 22 to rotate. A conveyor chain 21 is wound around the drive gear 22 and the driven gear 23. In this embodiment, the conveyor chain 21 is wound around the drive gear 22 and the driven gear 23. The drive motor 24 drives the drive gear 22 to rotate and drives the driven gear 23 to rotate, causing the conveyor chain 21 to reciprocate along a fixed path between the two gears, thus moving the patterned rollers 3 on the conveyor chain 21. This allows the operator to pick up each patterned roller 3 without moving.

[0048] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes an adjustment structure for adjusting the distance between the driven gear 23 and the driving gear 22. In this embodiment, to accommodate rollers 3 of different diameters, the length of the transmission chain 21 can be changed by adding or removing links. To facilitate chain tensioning, the adjustment structure adjusts the distance between the driven gear 23 and the driving gear 22 to ensure chain tension and thus guarantee the normal operation of the transmission chain 21.

[0049] It should be noted that the adjustment structure can be implemented in various ways. For example, both the driven gear 23 and the driving gear 22 are slidably mounted on the storage frame 1, and the distance between them is adjusted by a cylinder or the like.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjustment structure includes a movable support 25 and a rotating lead screw. The movable support 25 is movably mounted on the storage frame 1 along its length, and a threaded hole extending along the length of the storage frame 1 is provided on the movable support 25. The rotating lead screw extends along the length of the storage frame 1, with one end rotatably mounted on the storage frame 1 and the other end threaded through the threaded hole. A driven gear 23 is mounted on the movable support 25. In this embodiment, the position of the movable support 25 is adjusted by the lead screw structure, thereby adjusting the position of the driven gear 23, which in turn adjusts the distance between the driving gear 22 and the driven gear 23, thus tightening the transmission chain 21.

[0051] It should be noted that there are multiple ways to movably install the movable bracket 25 onto the storage frame 1. In this embodiment, the movable bracket 25 is moved by a sliding groove and a sliding rail that are configured to cooperate with each other.

[0052] On the other hand, please see Figures 3 to 4Each flower roller 3 has a rotating shaft 31 at both ends; the fixing structure includes a clamping assembly, which includes two opening and closing claws 41 respectively disposed on two conveyor chains. The two opening and closing claws 41 are used to clamp the two rotating shafts respectively. In this embodiment, by gripping and holding the rotating shafts with the opening and closing claws 41, it is convenient to pick up and put down the flower roller 3. When the flower roller 3 needs to be picked up, the opening and closing claws 41 can be released, avoiding the problem that the flower roller 3 cannot be taken out as a whole due to the shaft hole connection.

[0053] Furthermore, the card holder assembly also includes an proximity marker, which is located on the opening and closing claw 41; the pattern roller storage rack 100 also includes an identification device, installed on the storage frame 1, for identifying the proximity marker. Each pattern roller 3 is thus identified for intelligent control, and a storage catalog is generated based on the proximity marker, facilitating access according to certain rules.

[0054] On the other hand, please see Figure 5 The pattern roller storage rack 100 also includes a protective frame 5, within which a protective space is formed; the storage frame 1 is at least partially installed within the protective space to prevent external impacts from damaging the pattern rollers on the storage frame 1.

[0055] Furthermore, a discharge port is formed on the protective frame 5; the flower roller storage rack 100 also includes a receiving platform 6, which is set corresponding to the discharge port. In use, in order to facilitate the picking and placing of the flower roller 3 from a fixed position, in this embodiment, a discharge port is formed on the protective frame 5, and a receiving platform 6 is set corresponding to the discharge port to form a fixed picking and placing position for easy operation.

[0056] On the other hand, the storage frame 1 includes a mounting base 11 and a mounting stand 12 mounted on the mounting base 11; a conveying structure is mounted on the mounting stand 12. This facilitates the installation and setup of the storage frame 1.
