[0020] Example 1

[0021] A pallet positioning mechanism for transportation includes: a conveyor frame 1 and a plurality of conveyor rollers 2 disposed within the conveyor frame 1. The conveyor rollers 2 are rotatably disposed within the conveyor frame 1 via a transmission mechanism. The conveyor frame 1 is provided with a positioning mechanism 3, a limiting mechanism 4, and a guiding mechanism 5. The positioning mechanism 3 includes a double-headed cylinder 31 disposed at the lower end of the conveyor frame 1, a connecting frame 32 fixedly disposed at the end of the piston rod of the double-headed cylinder 31, and a positioning frame 33 disposed on the connecting frame 32.

The pallet is then placed on the conveyor roller 2. During transport, the pallet is guided by the guide rollers 331 and the guide rods 52, allowing it to move within a set position and preventing positional deviation.
