When the turning angle changes, it is easy to cause slippage between the conveyor belt and the roller, reducing friction and direction control efficiency. In the event of sudden shutdown or overload, there is a lack of a quick locking mechanism, which may cause conveyor belt slippage or equipment damage.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

The locking mechanism includes an acceleration sensor and a side seat installed on the upper trough roller frame. The side seat is provided with a wheel groove. A guide wheel is rotatably installed in the wheel groove, and the guide wheel contacts the side wall of the arc-shaped roller frame. A locking assembly is installed on the side seat, and the locking assembly realizes the rotation and fixation of the guide wheel;

[0008] A conveyor belt is commonly installed between the upper rollers and lower rollers of the plurality of arc mechanisms.

[0009] Preferably, both ends of the arc-shaped roller frame are equipped with stoppers, and rubber pads are provided inside the stoppers.
