[0019] To make the technical solution of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] Example

[0021] like Figures 1-2As shown, a roller conveyor is provided, including a frame 1. An empty box feeding conveyor belt 2 is provided on the upper left side of the frame 1. A clamping mechanism 3 is provided on the outside of the empty box feeding conveyor belt 2. A blocking mechanism 4 is provided on the right side of the clamping mechanism 3. A clamping mechanism 5 is provided on the right side of the blocking mechanism 4. A Y-axis transfer module 6 is provided above the frame 1. A Z-axis transfer module 7 is provided on the right side inside the frame 1. A full box discharge conveyor belt 8 is provided on the lower left side of the frame 1.

[0022] In the material distribution process of plastic mold injection production, the working process of this roller line device is as follows: First, the empty box is conveyed to the upper left side of the frame 1 via the empty box feeding belt 2. When the empty box reaches the designated position, the outer clamping mechanism 3 is activated to accurately fix the empty box and prevent it from shifting in subsequent operations. Then, the blocking mechanism 4 plays its role to block the empty box and ensure that it is in the right position to wait for material filling. Subsequently, the clamping mechanism 5 is activated to grab the material to be injected and accurately place it into the fixed empty box. After the material filling is completed, the Y-axis transfer module 6 is activated to smoothly transfer the empty box containing the material to the appropriate position along the Y direction. Then, the Z-axis transfer module 7 works to move the full box downward or transfer it to the designated path along the Z direction. Finally, the full box is output from the lower left side of the frame 1 via the full box discharge belt 8 and sent to the injection production station.

[0023] This automates the material delivery process, reduces manual intervention and labor costs, while improving delivery efficiency, shortening material turnaround time, and ensuring the continuity of injection molding production. Furthermore, the precise coordination of clamping mechanism 3, blocking mechanism 4, and holding mechanism 5 ensures accurate positioning of materials and empty boxes during delivery, preventing issues such as material spillage and box tipping from affecting production quality and schedule. The three-dimensional transfer system, composed of the Y-axis transfer module 6 and the Z-axis transfer module 7, can flexibly adjust the material delivery path to adapt to different workshop layouts and production needs, greatly improving the flexibility and space utilization of the production line. Moreover, the clear division of labor and collaborative operation of each component ensures high stability, reduces equipment failure frequency, lowers maintenance costs, and contributes to improving the overall efficiency of plastic mold injection molding production.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the lower surface of the frame 1 is threaded with multiple support legs 9, and the lower surface of the frame 1 and the inner side of the multiple support legs 9 are all provided with casters 10.

[0025] Multiple support legs 9, threadedly connected to the lower surface of the frame 1, allow for height adjustment to ensure the roller conveyor remains horizontal and stable in various ground conditions, providing a reliable support foundation for the entire device. The threaded connection facilitates installation, disassembly, and maintenance. Adjusting the roller conveyor height to suit different production equipment or operational needs allows for quick and convenient operation. The large contact area between the support legs 9 and the ground effectively distributes the weight of the device and the pressure generated during operation, preventing damage caused by uneven ground pressure and enhancing the stability and safety of the device. Simultaneously, multiple casters 10 provide the roller conveyor with flexible movement capabilities. In plastic mold injection molding workshops, if the roller conveyor needs to be moved due to production layout adjustments, equipment maintenance, or other special requirements, the casters 10 can freely rotate, requiring only a small force from the operator to move the roller conveyor, greatly improving the equipment's mobility and space utilization.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a protective net 11 is detachably connected to the left side of the front surface of the frame 1, and a protective net 2 12 is detachably connected to the right side of the front surface of the frame 1.

[0027] The protective nets 11 and 12, which are detachably connected to the left and right sides of the front surface of the frame 1, form a safety barrier for the operation of the roller conveyor. In the plastic injection molding production environment, protective net 11 can effectively prevent accidental contact by personnel and foreign objects from entering the roller conveyor operating area from the left side, while protective net 12 is responsible for protecting the right side area. The two work together to prevent operators from getting into accidents due to proximity to high-speed rotating parts, and to prevent materials, tools, etc. from accidentally falling onto the roller conveyor and affecting equipment operation or causing product damage, thus significantly improving the safety of the production process. At the same time, when it is necessary to inspect, clean, or replace parts inside the roller conveyor, operators can quickly disassemble protective nets 11 and 12 to easily and quickly access the inside of the equipment, greatly shortening maintenance time and improving equipment maintenance efficiency.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a mounting groove 13 is integrally formed on the lower front surface of the frame 1, and an air source switch 14 is provided inside the mounting groove 13;

[0029] The integrated mounting groove 13 on the lower front surface of the frame 1 provides a stable and reasonable installation space for the air source switch 14, which can effectively protect the internal air source switch 14 from damage such as external impact and scratch, and extend its service life. The air source switch 14 set inside the mounting groove 13 plays a vital role as the power control core of the pneumatic components of the roller conveyor (such as clamping mechanism 3, clamping mechanism 5, etc.). Operators can conveniently turn the air supply on or off through the air source switch 14 to accurately control the working status of the pneumatic components, which makes it convenient for operators to quickly perform switching operations in daily production and improve work efficiency.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, an electrical control box 15 is installed on the front surface of the frame 1 and below the second protective net 12 and the first protective net 11;

[0031] The electrical control box 15 integrates key electrical components such as control circuits, PLC controllers, relays, and frequency converters, undertaking the task of precise control of various mechanisms of the roller conveyor. It can coordinate and control the movement path and speed of the Y-axis transfer module 6 and the Z-axis transfer module 7 to ensure accurate and stable delivery and transfer of materials and boxes. At the same time, it can precisely regulate the timing of the actions of clamping mechanism 3, blocking mechanism 4, and holding mechanism 5 to ensure that the entire material delivery process proceeds in an orderly manner. In addition, the electrical control box 15 also has fault diagnosis and alarm functions. When the roller conveyor experiences problems such as motor overload, circuit short circuit, or sensor malfunction, it can quickly identify the fault and trigger the alarm device, reminding operators to handle the situation in a timely manner through audible and visual signals, reducing equipment downtime and production losses.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a display screen 16 is provided on the front surface of the frame 1 and above the protective net 11, and multiple control buttons 17 are provided on the front surface of the frame 1 and to the right of the display screen 16.

[0033] An efficient human-machine interface is constructed through the display screen 16 and multiple control buttons 17 on its right. The display screen 16 is prominently positioned, allowing operators to observe it from a distance during production. It can display the operating parameters of the roller conveyor in real time, such as the operating speed and position coordinates of the Y-axis transplanting module 6 and the Z-axis transplanting module 7, the working status of the clamping mechanism 3 and the holding mechanism 5, as well as information such as air source pressure and key data in the electrical control box 15. This helps operators to fully grasp the operating status of the equipment. At the same time, the display screen 16 can also serve as a fault information display window. When the electrical control box 15 detects an abnormality in the equipment, detailed fault codes and fault descriptions will be clearly presented on the display screen 16, making it easy for operators to quickly locate the fault point and shorten the repair time. The control buttons 17 are located next to the display screen 16. After viewing the information on the display screen 16, operators can directly operate the roller conveyor through the control buttons 17 to achieve precise control of the roller conveyor. In addition, the control buttons 17 can also be used to set operating parameters and switch working modes, such as selecting automatic or manual operation mode, to meet the needs of different production scenarios.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, an indicator light 18 is fixedly connected to the front of the upper surface of the frame 1;

[0035] The indicator light 18, fixedly connected to the front of the upper surface of the frame 1, has a significant installation advantage. This position allows the indicator light 18 to be quickly spotted by operators from multiple angles in the workshop environment. Whether operating from the front of the equipment or inspecting the surrounding area, operators can observe the status changes of the indicator light 18 immediately. The indicator light 18 can convey rich equipment information through different colors and flashing frequencies. Under normal operating conditions, the indicator light 18 remains a stable green light, indicating to the operator that the roller conveyor is in a safe and orderly working state. When the roller conveyor is about to start or switch working modes, the indicator light 18 flashes green at a slower frequency, serving as an early warning to remind surrounding personnel that the equipment is about to start. Once the electrical control box 15 detects an abnormality, such as motor failure, insufficient air pressure, or sensor failure, the indicator light 18 immediately turns red and flashes rapidly, while simultaneously sounding an alarm with a buzzer. This strong audible and visual signal attracts the operator's attention, allowing for timely troubleshooting and handling of the fault. This helps operators to more efficiently determine the type of fault and shorten the fault diagnosis time.

[0036] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
