[0033] The roller chain conveying line 3 is arranged obliquely, and the rollers 32 are movably arranged on the roller chain conveying line 3. The roller chain conveying line 3 is provided with a rotating conveying section, which is provided with rotating driving devices 4 for driving the rollers 32 to rotate based on the roller chain conveying line 3.
