[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the conveying rail 2 includes a positioning frame 21 mounted on the top of the mounting frame 1, and the inside of the positioning frame 21 is provided with a plurality of pulleys 22, and the outer wall of the positioning frame 21 is provided with a positioning block 23, and the positioning block 23 is connected with the mounting frame 1 through bolts, and the positioning block 23 can be conveniently installed, and the bottom of the positioning frame 21 can be supported, and the pulley 22 can reduce the friction between the workpiece and the mounting frame 1.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , the two sides of the mounting frame 1 are provided with limiting plates 3, and the limiting plates 3 are higher than the top of the conveying rail 2, and the limiting plates 3 can avoid the workpiece from separating from the mounting frame 1 during transportation.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , the end of the mounting frame 1 away from 8 is provided with two groups of limiting blocks 4, and the two groups of limiting blocks 4 are evenly arranged at the ends of the mounting frame 1, and the limiting blocks 4 can prevent the workpiece from falling off when the workpiece is placed on the mounting frame 1.
