The left end of each roller shaft 8 is installed at the storage position of the left chain 24 through a first fixing structure 30, and the right end of each roller shaft 8 is installed at the storage position of the right chain 24 through a second fixing structure 40.

[0026] As shown in Figure 6 , in this embodiment, the first fixing structure 30 includes a first connecting rod 31 horizontally installed on the left chain 24, and a fixing sleeve 32 connected between the right end of the first connecting rod 31 and the left connecting part 901 of the roller shaft 8. There is a gap 321 on the upper part of the fixing sleeve 32. There are bolt holes 322 on the upper and lower sides of the gap 321, which are communicated. There are locking bolts 323 in the two bolt holes 322. As shown in Figure 8 , there are three notches 223 distributed on the circumferential surface of the driven sprocket 22, and the interval between the adjacent two anilox rollers is such that when the chain moves with the anilox roller and contacts the driven sprocket, the first connecting rod can be just clamped in the corresponding notch 223.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in this embodiment, a light rail 27 is installed at the middle position between the two transmission sprockets 21 in the installation area. A roller 28 supported by the rail surface of the corresponding light rail 27 is installed on the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 41. With this structure, when the chain moves the anilox roller to the horizontal storage position, the rollers on both sides of the anilox roller are just located on the corresponding light rail, so the chain of the top horizontal section will not sag, and the light rail supports the chain of the horizontal section, avoiding the shaking or collision between the anilox rollers caused by the sagging of the chain.

[0030] The controller is installed on the support frame.

[0031] The above is a meshing roller storage device, when the meshing roller needs to be stored, the plug 42 is inserted into the socket 44 of the meshing roller, then the fixing pin 43 is inserted through the mounting hole 441 on one side, the perforation 442, and the mounting hole 441 on the other side, and then the fixing sleeve 32 is sleeved between the right end of the first connecting rod 31 and the left connecting part 901 of the roller shaft 8, the locking bolt 323 is inserted through the bolt hole on one side and is screwed in the bolt hole on the other side. An encoder can also be installed on the free end of the connecting shaft. In this way, the number of rotations of the motor is detected by the encoder, a protruding origin on the chain 24 is used as the origin of the encoder, and a zero detection sensor is installed at the access opening below the controller to encode the encoder, and all storage positions on the chain are encoded. When the meshing roller to be used needs to be taken out, the code of the storage position of the meshing roller is input on the control panel 6 of the controller, the controller controls the motor to rotate the corresponding number of revolutions, so that the meshing roller can be transported to the access opening below the control panel along with the movement of the chain, and the meshing roller is transported to the access opening.

[0032] In summary, the meshing roller is installed on the corresponding storage position of the two chains through the first fixing structure and the second fixing structure, so that the meshing rollers are prevented from being damaged due to mutual accumulation, and the meshing rollers are convenient to store. The controller controls the motor to start and drive the chain to move the meshing roller to the access opening, so that the operator can take out the meshing roller conveniently. The structure is simple and convenient to use.
