[0031] To better understand the purpose of this utility model, it will be described in further detail below.
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A linear calibration roller conveyor includes: a conveyor frame 1, a conveyor baffle 2, a calibration guardrail 3, a calibration photoelectric component 5, a calibration roller assembly 6, a calibration roller support 7, a non-powered roller 8, a standard guardrail 9, and a powered roller 10.
[0033] The conveyor frame 1 is installed on both sides of the calibration roller support 7. The calibration guardrail 3 is installed on the top of the conveyor frame 1 on one side of the calibration roller support 7, and the standard guardrail 9 is installed on the top of the conveyor frame 1 on the other side of the calibration roller support 7.
[0034] The conveyor frame 1 is equipped with a conveyor baffle 2 on its outer wall, and a bracket is installed on the outer wall of the conveyor baffle 2. A calibration photoelectric component 5 is installed on the bracket.

The powered roller 10 is connected to the non-powered roller 8. The non-powered roller 8 and the powered roller 10 are also connected to the conveyor baffle 2.
[0036] Reinforcing ribs are added inside the conveyor frame 1 to improve the overall structural stability and load-bearing capacity, making the frame less prone to deformation under heavy loads or during long-term operation.
[0037] Strengthening of threaded connection holes: The threaded connection holes at the top of the conveyor frame 1 are strengthened, such as by thickening the threads or increasing the thread depth, to improve the fastening force and anti-loosening ability of the connectors.
[0038] Roller material and lubrication: The rollers are made of wear-resistant materials with a low coefficient of friction and are lubricated to reduce friction between the rollers and the items and improve conveying efficiency.
[0039] Roller spacing adjustment: Adjust the roller spacing reasonably according to the size and weight of the item so that the item can be stably attached to the calibration guardrail during the conveying process.
[0040] Drive method of the power roller: adopt an efficient and stable drive method, such as direct motor drive or geared motor drive, to ensure that the calibration roller group can provide power continuously and stably.
[0041] The non-powered rollers are made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials and are arranged reasonably between the powered rollers to reduce the resistance of the items during the conveying process.
[0042] Non-powered rollers can also act as a buffer, absorbing the impact or vibration energy encountered by items during transportation, protecting the items and the conveyor from damage.
[0043] The upgraded and calibrated photoelectric components are replaced with intelligent sensors that have automatic identification and positioning functions. These sensors can accurately identify information such as the name, code, and size of items and automatically adjust the operating status and position of the conveyor.
[0044] Remote monitoring and fault alarm: The calibration photoelectric components should also have remote monitoring and fault alarm functions to monitor the operation status of the conveyor and the conveying of goods in real time, and immediately issue an alarm signal when an abnormality or fault is detected.
[0045] Specifically, in the linear calibration roller conveyor of the present invention, the included angle between the powered roller 10 and the unpowered roller 8 is an obtuse angle.
[0046] Specifically, in the linear calibration roller conveyor of the present invention, rollers 4 are installed inside the calibration guardrail 3.
[0047] Specifically, in the linear calibration roller conveyor of the present invention, the opening direction of the standard guardrail 9 is vertical to downward.
[0048] Specifically, in the linear calibration roller conveyor of the present invention, the top of the conveyor frame 1 is uniformly provided with threaded connection holes.
[0049] Specifically, in the linear calibration roller conveyor of the present invention, the calibration roller support 7 and the roller assembly are connected by a connecting frame, which is located at both ends of the calibration roller support 7.
[0050] Specifically, in the linear calibration roller conveyor of the present invention, the conveyor frame 1 is provided with a groove for mounting the roller assembly and the calibration roller group 6.
[0051] Specifically, in the linear calibration roller conveyor of the present invention, the calibration guardrail 3 is provided in a groove shape, and the opening direction of the groove shape of the calibration guardrail 3 is opposite to that of the standard guardrail 9.
[0052] Specifically, in the linear calibration roller conveyor of the present invention, the conveyor baffle 2 is provided with an insertion hole, and the bottom of the standard guardrail 9 is provided with an insertion block, the insertion block at the bottom of the standard guardrail 9 being used to insert into the insertion hole of the conveyor baffle 2.
[0053] Specifically, in the linear calibration roller conveyor of the present invention, the calibration photoelectric component 5 is located above the calibration guardrail 3 and the standard guardrail 9.
[0054] The calibration guardrail 3 is equipped with rollers 4, while the standard guardrail 9 does not have rollers;
[0055] The material box enters and exits from the Y direction as shown in the figure. Under the action of the calibration roller group 6, the material box moves in the Y direction and moves towards the X direction. The material box is close to one side of the calibration guardrail 3. The roller 4 on one side of the calibration guardrail 3 is used to reduce the friction between the material box and the calibration guardrail 3.
[0056] The rollers of the calibration roller assembly 6 are powered rollers 10, with an installation angle of 5 to 10 degrees relative to the horizontal X direction. The unpowered rollers 8 at both ends are aligned with the horizontal X direction, which is also the angle. The main function is that, since the calibration roller assembly 6 is installed at an angle to the horizontal direction, and this conveyor needs to connect with other conveyor lines or other linear conveyors (see the top view of this conveyor), there is a blank angle between the calibration roller assembly 6 and the conveyor line to be connected, i.e., this calibration type. This results in high friction when the material box enters or exits, thereby reducing the effectiveness of this calibration conveyor.
[0057] The first and last stage rollers of this application use a combination of powered roller 10 and unpowered roller 8. If the unpowered roller 8 is not installed and a long powered roller 10 is installed directly, the friction of the material box will increase when it enters or exits because the powered roller 10 is installed at an angle.
[0058] The calibration photoelectric component 5 is clamped onto the guardrail by a fixture that can move along the bottom of the guardrail. Several fixed through holes are provided at equal intervals on the bottom of the guardrail. Items are conveyed to a linear calibration roller conveyor via a conventional conveyor. The photoelectric component identifies the item's name and code, and the linear calibration roller conveyor moves the item to one side of the conveyor, thus changing the item's position.
[0059] The specific implementation steps of this utility model's technical solution are as follows, and the mechanism features marked with numbers are labeled:
[0060] Construct the basic conveyor frame: Install the conveyor frame 1 on both sides of the calibration roller support 7. Install the calibration guardrail 3 on the top of the conveyor frame 1 on one side of the calibration roller support 7. Install the standard guardrail 9 on the top of the conveyor frame 1 on the other side of the calibration roller support 7. Install the conveyor baffle 2 on the outer wall of the conveyor frame 1.
[0061] Installation of calibration and testing components: A bracket is installed on the outer wall of the conveyor baffle 2, and a calibration photoelectric component 5 is installed on the bracket. Rollers 4 are installed inside the calibration guardrail 3 to reduce friction between the items and the calibration guardrail 3.
[0062] Configure the roller assembly: Install the calibration roller assembly 6 at the middle position of the calibration roller bracket 7, ensuring its connection to the conveyor baffle 2. Install roller assemblies at both ends of the calibration roller bracket 7, including a powered roller 10 and a non-powered roller 8. Ensure that the powered roller 10 and the non-powered roller 8 are connected, and that they are also connected to the conveyor baffle 2. The included angle between the powered roller 10 and the non-powered roller 8 is an obtuse angle.
[0063] The calibration roller bracket 7 is connected to the roller assembly using connecting frames located at both ends of the calibration roller bracket 7. Necessary fixing and connection are achieved using threaded connection holes evenly distributed on the top of the conveyor frame 1. The conveyor frame 1 is provided with grooves for mounting the roller assembly and the calibration roller group 6.
[0064] The calibration guardrail 3 is shaped like a groove, with its opening facing the same direction as the standard guardrail 9. The conveyor baffle 2 has insertion holes, and the standard guardrail 9 has insertion blocks at its bottom. Inserting the insertion blocks of the standard guardrail 9 into the insertion holes of the conveyor baffle 2 secures the standard guardrail 9. The calibration photoelectric component 5 is located above the calibration guardrail 3 and the standard guardrail 9 to correctly identify and guide items.
[0065] The items are conveyed to the linear calibration roller conveyor via a regular conveyor.
[0066] Photoelectric components identify the item name and code. A linear calibration roller conveyor transports the item to one side of the conveyor, changing its position.
