7. The aluminum profile heat treatment method according to claim 1, characterized in that: In the step S5, the temperature of the solution quenching is controlled at 460° C. to 600° C., and the holding time of the solution quenching is controlled at 3 hours to 7 hours.

8. The aluminum profile heat treatment method according to claim 1, characterized in that: In S6, the weight ratio of the aluminum profile heat treatment solution to the deionized water is controlled at 1:

10.

9. The aluminum profile heat treatment method according to claim 1, characterized in that: In S6, the diluted solution further includes sodium hydroxide, and 5 to 8 grams of sodium hydroxide are added per liter of the diluted solution.

10. The aluminum profile heat treatment method according to claim 1, characterized in that: In S6, the cooled aluminum profile is put into an aging furnace for aging treatment. The temperature in the aging furnace is controlled within the range of 190° C. to 200° C. After 180 minutes of heat preservation treatment, the aluminum profile is taken out of the aging furnace and immediately cooled using air cooling equipment after being taken out of the furnace. Finally, epoxy resin paint or acrylic resin paint is baked.
