[0014] Optionally, a guide bucket is fixedly provided on the bracket at a position corresponding to the guide rod.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, providing a guide bucket can make it easier for the roller to be sent out along the guide bucket, further improving the convenience of sending the roller.

[0043] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 , the present application is further described in detail through specific embodiments.
[0044] A tapered roller conveying mechanism, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes three brackets 1, each bracket 1 is provided with a keel chain and a driving member, the keel chain is arranged along the bracket 1, and the driving member is used to rotate the keel chain. In specific implementation, the driving member includes a driving roller, and the driving roller drives the keel chain to move in the manner of a driving pulley. A feeding pipe 13 for passing the roller is provided at the bracket 1 at the head end.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the keel chain includes a flat keel chain 11 and a concave keel chain 12. The chain pieces of the flat keel chain 11 are all arranged flat, and the chain pieces of the concave keel chain 12 are all provided with grooves 121, and the grooves 121 are arranged corresponding to the shape of the roller. In specific implementation, the bracket 1 at the head end is provided with the flat keel chain 11, and the two sections of brackets 1 behind the head end bracket 1 are both in an upward trend, and the two sections of brackets 1 are both provided with concave keel chains 12.
[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, guide rails 14 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the flat keel chain 11, and a channel 141 is formed between the guide rails 14 on both sides, and the channel 141 is arranged corresponding to the shape of the roller. In specific implementation, after the feed pipe 13 feeds the roller, the guide rails 14 can restrict the roller so that the roller is transported in a certain direction.
[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a guide rod 142 is provided on the guide rail 14, and the guide rod 142 is hinged to the guide rail 14. After the guide rod 142 rotates, it can abut against the other side guide rail 14. A guide bucket 15 is fixedly provided on the bracket 1 at a position corresponding to the guide rod 142.
[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a transfer assembly 2 is provided between the brackets 1, and the transfer assembly 2 is used to transfer the rollers on each bracket 1. The bracket 1 and the adjacent bracket 1 are provided with a transfer section 16, and the transfer sections 16 are arranged in parallel and abut against each other. The transfer assembly 2 in this embodiment is arranged on the transfer section 16 of the first bracket 1 and the bracket 1 adjacent thereto. The transfer assembly 2 includes a transfer cylinder 21, and a transfer cylinder 22 is fixedly provided on the piston rod of the transfer cylinder 21. The transfer cylinder 22 is provided with a transfer groove 221 at a position corresponding to the channel 141, and the transfer cylinder 21 is used to drive the transfer cylinder 22 to move from the bracket 1 toward the adjacent bracket 1. In specific implementation, the roller can be embedded in the transfer groove 221, one end of which is connected to the outside and used to communicate with the channel 141. When a certain number of rollers are stacked in the transfer groove 221, the transfer cylinder 22 can be pushed to move toward another bracket 1 as a whole, thereby driving the rollers in the transfer groove 221 to move to another bracket 1 together. Since the keel chains on the two brackets 1 have different transport directions, the roller reversal can also be completed at the same time. The second section bracket 1 is also provided with a limit bolt corresponding to the transfer cylinder 22 to reduce the excessive movement of the transfer cylinder 22. In other embodiments, a sensor can also be provided corresponding to the position of the transfer groove 221 to reduce the excessive number of rollers in the transfer groove 221. The rollers can be transferred after a certain number of rollers are reached.
[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a guide piece 161 is fixedly arranged on the transfer section 16 of the bracket 1, and the guide piece 161 is fixedly arranged at a position of the bracket 1 close to the adjacent bracket 1. In specific implementation, the guide piece 161 is tilted and tilted toward the second section bracket 1, and the roller can just enter the groove 121 of the concave keel chain 12 along the guide piece 161.
[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a baffle 222 is fixedly provided on the transfer cylinder 22. When the transfer cylinder 22 moves toward another bracket 1, the baffle 222 completely blocks the channel 141. In specific implementation, when the transfer cylinder 22 transports the roller, the baffle 222 can block the continuous passage of the roller in the channel 141, thereby reducing the situation where the roller transports too much and falls from the bracket 1.
[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the bracket 1 is also provided with a detection component 3 and a blowing component 4, the blowing component 4 includes an air gun, the detection component 3 is used to detect roller abnormalities, and the air gun is used to blow air toward the roller. In specific implementation, the detection component 3 includes an infrared sensor, which detects the direction of the roller by scanning, blows out the roller in the opposite direction to re-enter the transportation, and the air gun can blow the roller off the bracket 1. The position corresponding to the air gun on the bracket 1 is also provided with a discharge pipe, and the blown roller can pass out along the discharge pipe.
[0052] Working principle: When transporting rollers, the rollers can run directly on the keel chain, which is convenient for observing the rollers and can deal with abnormalities in time. When the rollers come to the corners, they are transferred through the transfer component 2. The keel chain is divided into a flat keel chain 11 and a concave keel chain 12, which can not only transport the rollers at a faster speed, but also limit the rollers, thereby improving the stability of transportation.
[0053] Embodiment 2
[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, the difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the keel chain of Example 2 also includes a deformed keel chain.

A connecting line 51 is arranged between the side panels 5, and both ends of the connecting line 51 are fixedly connected to the side panels 5 on both sides. A plurality of magnetic plates 52 are fixedly mounted on the connecting line 51, and a clearance groove 6 is provided on the bracket 1 corresponding to the magnetic plate 52. When the magnetic plate 52 is embedded in the clearance groove 6, the magnetic plate 52 forms a groove 121. In specific implementation, the connecting line 51 includes a high-strength fiber line to reduce the possibility of breakage, and the magnetic plate 52 is magnetic and has a certain adsorption effect on the roller, which can further improve the stability of transportation.
[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, an electromagnet 71 is provided on the bracket 1 corresponding to the magnetic plate 52, and the electromagnet 71 is used to repel the magnetic plate 52. In specific implementation, after the electromagnet 71 is powered on, the magnetic plate 52 is lifted up by the electromagnet 71, and the magnetic plates 52 on both sides abut against the side plates 5, and a flat surface is formed between the magnetic plate 52 and the side plates 5, so that it can be used as a flat keel chain, and when the electromagnet 71 is powered off, the groove 121 can be re-formed and used as a concave keel chain.
[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 1 is also provided with a rotating motor 7, and the electromagnet 71 is fixedly provided on the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 7. In specific implementation, the rotating motor 7 can rotate the electromagnet 71 by rotating, thereby changing the magnetism of the electromagnet 71, so that the electromagnet 71 can adsorb the magnetic plate 52, thereby making the groove 121 formed by the magnetic plate 52 more stable.
[0057] Working principle: The transportation method is the same as that of Example 1, but the use of a deformable keel chain can further improve the selectivity. The keel chain can be deformed according to different usage requirements. It can work as a flat keel chain or as a recessed keel chain. It is suitable for different transportation conditions, thereby improving versatility. When deforming, it is only necessary to rotate the electromagnet 71, and the magnetic plate 52 has a certain magnetic force, which can adsorb the roller, thereby further improving the stability of the roller during transportation.
[0058] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
