Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of profile processing, and in particular to a profile feeding machine. Background Art

[0002] Before processing, profiles are usually stacked in a material frame. Before processing, the profiles need to be taken out of the material frame, placed in the required posture, and then transported to the processing equipment for processing. This process is generally called loading operation in the industry. At present, loading operations are basically carried out by manual operation, or a combination of mechanical equipment and manual operation. However, since the position of the profiles in the material frame is usually not fixed, it is difficult to achieve fully automated operation through mechanical equipment, resulting in more or less manual participation, resulting in low work efficiency and high labor intensity for workers in the existing profile loading operations.

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to solve the problems of low working efficiency and high labor intensity of the existing profile feeding operation. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a profile feeding machine which can realize fully automated operation and has the characteristics of high production efficiency and low labor intensity.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a profile feeding machine, comprising a material frame, a separation mechanism and a transfer mechanism;

[0006] Several layers of profiles are arranged in the material frame, and several partition bars are arranged horizontally between two adjacent layers of profiles along the length direction of the profiles;

[0007] The separation mechanism includes a spacer bar storage assembly for storing spacers and a profile receiving assembly for collecting profiles. The number of the spacer bar storage assemblies is a plurality of groups, and each group of spacer bar storage assemblies is arranged corresponding to each spacer bar. A single group of spacer bar storage assemblies includes an end baffle and a side baffle constituting a storage groove for accommodating the spacer bar. The end baffles are relatively arranged at the two ends of the spacer bar, and the side baffles are relatively arranged at both sides of the spacer bar. The profile receiving assembly includes a plurality of first conveyor belts for supporting the profiles, and each first conveyor belt is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the profile.

[0008] The transfer mechanism includes a pick-up and placement rack, a plurality of clamps installed at intervals on the pick-up and placement rack, a horizontal driving member driving the pick-up and placement rack to move horizontally between the material frame and the separation mechanism, and a lifting driving member driving the pick-up and placement rack to rise and fall in the vertical direction. Each clamp is arranged corresponding to each partition bar to clamp the partition bar.

[0009] The profile loader of the present application arranges partitions in the material frame to stack the profiles neatly and evenly in multiple layers, thereby avoiding collisions between the profiles and making reasonable use of the space in the material frame. When taking out the profiles in the material frame, the pick-up and placement rack is translated to the top of the material frame and descends to a suitable height, the clamping claw clamps the partitioning claw, and then the pick-up and placement rack rises to take out the partitioning claw and the entire layer of profiles placed on the partitioning claw from the material frame, and then the pick-up and placement rack is translated to the top of the separation mechanism and then descends to a specified position, so that the profile is placed on the first conveyor belt and the partitioning claw falls into the storage groove, and then the clamping claw opens and the pick-up and placement rack is reset to complete the initial loading of the profile. During the loading process, the clamping claw grabs the partitioning claw instead of directly grabbing the profile, so that multiple profiles can be grabbed at one time, which can improve the efficiency of profile grabbing and transferring, and the partitioning claw can be separated from the profile by using the separation mechanism. No manual intervention is required during the loading process, thereby reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0010] In some embodiments, the single-group spacer bar storage assembly further includes a spacer bar bottom beam, end baffles are slidably disposed at both ends of the spacer bar bottom beam, and side baffles are slidably disposed on both sides of the spacer bar bottom beam.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the end baffles and side baffles are set to be slidably connected with the bottom beam of the partition bar. The distance between the end baffles and the side baffles can be adjusted according to the size of the partition bar, so that the size of the storage slot matches the size of the partition bar to improve versatility.

[0012] In some embodiments, a single group of partition bar storage components also includes a spacing adjustment drive component installed on the bottom beam of the partition bars, the output end of the spacing adjustment drive component is connected to a driving rod, one of the end baffles is fixedly connected to the driving rod, a driving plate is also fixedly connected to the driving rod, a guide groove is provided on the driving plate, and a guide component that slides with the guide groove is provided on the side baffle plate. The spacing adjustment drive component drives the driving rod to move back and forth in a straight line, thereby driving the spacing between the two end baffles and the spacing between the two side baffles to expand or shrink.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a spacing adjustment driving member is used to push the driving rod to move back and forth linearly, thereby driving the spacing between the two end baffles and the spacing between the two side baffles to expand or decrease, which can save investment in power components, help reduce costs and simplify the structure.

[0014] In some embodiments, the clamp includes two relatively arranged claw rods, support plates respectively arranged on the two gripper rods, and an opening and closing power component that drives the two gripper rods to move closer or further away. One end of the gripper rod is slidably connected to the pick-and-place rack, and the other end extends toward the material frame. One end of the support plate is connected to the corresponding gripper rod, and the other end extends toward the other gripper rod. The opening and closing power component is installed on the pick-and-place rack.

[0015] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the opening and closing power part drives the two claw hand rods to approach each other, the two support plates are close to or abutted against each other to lift the partition bar and realize the grabbing of the partition bar; when the opening and closing power part drives the two claw hand rods to move away from each other, the two support plates are separated from each other to lower the partition bar and realize the lowering of the partition bar.

[0016] In some embodiments, it also includes an arranging mechanism arranged on the side of the separation mechanism away from the material frame, the arranging mechanism includes a plurality of second conveyor belts arranged parallel to the first conveyor belt and an alignment roller frame arranged below the conveyor belts, a lifting plate is provided at one end of the second conveyor belt away from the first conveyor belt, a plurality of alignment rollers are arranged at intervals on the alignment roller frame, each second conveyor belt and each alignment roller are alternately arranged, an alignment stopper plate is provided at one end of the alignment roller frame, and the arranging mechanism also includes an alignment lifting member for driving the alignment roller frame to rise and fall.

[0017] By adopting the above technical scheme, the profiles can be arranged neatly by setting up an arranging mechanism, and the profiles on the first conveyor belt are transferred to the second conveyor belt. Then the lifting baffle at one end of the second conveyor belt rises to block the profiles, so that the profiles are arranged neatly along the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt. Then the alignment lifting member lifts the alignment roller frame to make the profile fall on the alignment roller, and then the alignment roller transfers the profile to the alignment baffle plate to align the ends of the profile, so that the profiles are neatly arranged. When transported from the second conveyor belt, the lifting baffle descends and no longer blocks the position of the profile.

[0018] In some embodiments, the profile receiving assembly also includes a fixed baffle and a lifting block arranged at one end of the first conveyor belt close to the second conveyor belt, and the lifting block is provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the profile. The profile receiving assembly also includes a lifting power piece and a pushing power piece. The lifting power piece is used to drive the lifting block to rise and fall, and the pushing power piece is used to drive the lifting block and the lifting power piece to approach or move away from the second conveyor belt.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, after the profile on the first conveyor belt contacts the fixed baffle, the lifting power member lifts the lifting block, and then the pushing power member pushes the lifting block toward the second conveyor belt, transferring the profile on the first conveyor belt to the second conveyor belt.

[0020] In some embodiments, a flipping mechanism is further included between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, the flipping mechanism includes a turntable, a clamping member installed on the turntable, and a flipping power member driving the turntable to rotate, the number of the clamping member is at least one, one end of the clamping member is connected to the turntable, and the other end extends outward from the turntable, and the end of the clamping member away from the turntable is provided with a slot corresponding to the profile.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the placement posture of the profile in the material frame is different from the posture required for processing, a flipping mechanism is also provided between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt. The push-pull power member pushes the profile on the lifting block into the slot on the clamping member, and then the flipping power member drives the turntable to rotate, so that the profile is flipped at a certain angle and then placed on the second conveyor belt, thereby adjusting the posture of the profile for subsequent processing.

[0022] In some embodiments, the flipping mechanism also includes a hanging plate, which is swingably arranged above the turntable and located on one side of the clamping member. The hanging plate maintains contact with the profile during the flipping and falling process of the profile to ensure that the profile is flipped to the posture on the second conveyor belt.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, a hanging plate is set. In order to ensure that the profile can be smoothly inserted into the slot and the profile can be flipped, the width of the slot should be larger than the width of the profile. During the flipping and falling process of the profile, the hanging plate and the profile remain in contact, which can prevent the profile from rotating in the slot during the rotation of the turntable, ensuring that the profile is in the correct posture when it falls onto the second conveyor belt.

[0024] In some embodiments, a transfer mechanism is further included between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, and the transfer mechanism includes a plurality of transition conveyor belts arranged in parallel with the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when the distance between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt is large, a transition conveyor belt is provided to ensure that the profiles can be smoothly transferred to the second conveyor belt.

[0026] In some embodiments, it further includes a frame and a conveying frame, the pick-and-place frame is slidably disposed on the frame, the material frame and the separation mechanism are located directly below the frame, and the separation mechanism is installed on the conveying frame.

[0043] See also Figures 1 to 12, which is a profile loader 100 of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, includes a material frame 10, a separation mechanism 20 and a transfer mechanism 30. The material frame 10 is used to load the profile 200. The material frame 10 is provided with partition bars 300 for dividing the profile 200 into multiple layers. The separation mechanism 20 is used to separate the profile 200 from the partition bars 300. The transfer mechanism 30 is used to transfer the profile 200 and the partition bars 300 from the material frame 10 to the separation mechanism 20. The profile loader 100 of the present application can realize fully automated loading operations and has the characteristics of high production efficiency and low labor intensity.

[0044] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the material frame 10 is in the shape of an elongated strip, fences are arranged on both sides of the material frame 10, the top and both ends of the material frame 10 are open structures, a plurality of layers of profiles 200 are arranged in the material frame 10, the profiles 200 are arranged along the length extension direction of the material frame 10, and a plurality of partition bars 300 are horizontally arranged between two adjacent layers of profiles 200 along the length direction of the profiles 200; in order to ensure that the transfer mechanism 30 can accurately clamp the partition bars 300, limiting grooves corresponding to the partition bars 300 are arranged on both sides of the material frame 10, and the partition bars 300 can only move in the vertical direction in the limiting grooves, and cannot move in the horizontal direction.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the separation mechanism 20 includes a spacer bar storage assembly 21 for storing the spacer bar 300 and a profile receiving assembly 22 for collecting the profile 200. The number of the spacer bar storage assemblies 21 is several groups, and each group of the spacer bar storage assemblies 21 is arranged corresponding to each spacer bar 300. A single group of the spacer bar storage assembly 21 includes an end baffle 211 and a side baffle 212 that constitute a storage groove for accommodating the spacer bar 300. The end baffles 211 are relatively arranged at the two ends of the spacer bar 300, and the side baffles 212 are relatively arranged on both sides of the spacer bar 300. The profile receiving assembly 22 includes a plurality of first conveyor belts 221 for supporting the profile 200, and each first conveyor belt 221 is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the profile 200.

[0046] Specifically, Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the single-group spacer bar storage assembly 21 also includes a spacer bar bottom beam 213, end baffles 211 are slidably arranged at both ends of the spacer bar bottom beam 213, and side baffles 212 are slidably arranged on both sides of the spacer bar bottom beam. The end baffles 211 and the side baffles 212 are arranged to be slidably connected to the spacer bar bottom beam 213, and the spacing between the end baffles 211 and the side baffles 212 can be adjusted according to the size of the spacer bar 300, so that the size of the storage slot matches the size of the spacer bar 300, so as to improve the versatility.

[0047] Furthermore, the single-group partition bar storage assembly 21 also includes a spacing adjustment driving member 214 installed on the strip bottom beam 213, and the output end of the spacing adjustment driving member 214 is connected to a driving rod 215, one of the end baffles 211 is fixedly connected to the driving rod 215, and a driving plate 216 is also fixedly connected to the driving rod 215, and a guide groove 217 is provided on the driving plate 216, and a guide member 218 that slides with the guide groove 217 is provided on the side baffle 212, and the spacing adjustment driving member 214 drives the driving rod 215 to move back and forth in a straight line, thereby driving the spacing between the two end baffles 211 and the spacing between the two side baffles 212 to expand or shrink. By pushing the driving rod 215 to move back and forth in a straight line through a spacing adjustment driving member 214, the driving plate 216 is driven to move back and forth in a straight line, thereby driving the driving plate 216 to move back and forth in a straight line, and then driving the spacing between the two end baffles 211 and the spacing between the two side baffles 212 to expand or shrink, which can save the investment in power components, and is conducive to reducing costs and simplifying the structure.

[0048] like Figure 7 As shown, the guide grooves 217 corresponding to the two side baffles 212 are in an "eight" shape on the driving plate 216, and when the length of the partition bar 300 is relatively long, in order to make the side force of the partition bar 300 uniform, a plurality of side baffles 212 can be set on the same side, and the side baffles 212 on the same side can be fixed on the same mounting plate, and then the guide member 218 that slides with the guide groove 217 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate.

[0049] Optionally, the gap adjustment driving member is a cylinder, the cylinder body of the cylinder is installed on the strip bottom beam 213, the telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected to one of the end baffles 211, one end of the driving rod 215 is connected to the end baffle 211, a first linear bearing is arranged at the bottom of the end baffle 211, a first linear guide rod slidingly matched with the first linear bearing is arranged on the strip bottom beam 213, similarly, a second linear bearing is arranged at the bottom of the side baffle 212, and a second linear guide rod slidingly matched with the second linear bearing is arranged on the strip bottom beam 213. In other embodiments, a cylinder can be separately provided for each of the two end baffles 211, and similarly, a cylinder can be separately provided for each of the side baffles 212 on both sides to achieve the size adjustment of the width and length of the receiving groove. In other embodiments, other power components that can achieve the same function can also be used to adjust the distance between the side baffle 212 and the end baffle 211.

[0050] like Figure 3As shown, each first conveyor belt 221 and each partition bar storage assembly 21 are alternately arranged, and the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 221 is consistent with the length direction of the partition bar 300. In order to prevent the end baffle 211 and the side baffle 212 from interfering with the conveying of the profile 200 on the first conveyor belt 221, the top of the end baffle 211 and the side baffle 212 should be lower than the top of the first conveyor belt. In order to ensure that the conveying action of each first conveyor belt 221 is consistent so that the profile 200 on the first conveyor belt 221 can be smoothly conveyed, each first conveyor belt 221 is driven by the same first conveying motor, and the output end of the first conveying motor is transmission-connected with a transmission rod, which is transmission-connected with each first conveyor belt 221. Preferably, the first conveying motor is a servo motor.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Fig.11 As shown, the transfer mechanism 30 includes a pick-up and placement rack 31, a plurality of clamps 32 installed at intervals on the pick-up and placement rack 31, a horizontal driving member 33 for driving the pick-up and placement rack 31 to move horizontally between the material frame 10 and the separation mechanism 20, and a lifting driving member 34 for driving the pick-up and placement rack 31 to rise and fall in the vertical direction. Each clamp 32 is arranged corresponding to each partition bar 300 for clamping the partition bar 300.

[0052] Furthermore, in order to make the force uniform when clamping the spacer bar 300, each clamping jaw 32 is divided into two rows, and the two rows of clamping jaws 32 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the pick-and-place frame 31, and the number and spacing of each row of clamping jaws 32 correspond to the spacer bar 300 in the material frame 10. When clamping the spacer bar 300, the two rows of clamping jaws 32 respectively clamp the two ends of the spacer bar 300, so that the spacer bar 300 can be lifted and translated smoothly. Correspondingly, in order to facilitate the clamping jaws 32 to clamp the spacer bar 300 in the material frame 10, sufficient space should be reserved between the profiles 200 at both ends of the spacer bar 300 and the fence on the side of the material frame 10, so that the clamping jaws 32 can clamp the spacer bar 300.

[0053] Specifically, Fig.12 As shown, the clamp 32 includes two claw handles 321 arranged opposite to each other, supporting plates 323 respectively arranged on the two gripping handles, and an opening and closing power member 322 for driving the two gripping handles to move closer or further away. One end of the gripping handle is slidably connected to the pick-and-place rack 31, and the other end extends toward the material frame 10. One end of the supporting plate 323 is connected to the corresponding gripping handle, and the other end extends toward the other gripping handle. The opening and closing power member 322 is installed on the pick-and-place rack 31. When the opening and closing power member 322 drives the two claw handles 321 to move closer to each other, the two supporting plates 323 move closer to or abut against each other to lift the partition bar 300, thereby realizing the grabbing of the partition bar 300; when the opening and closing power member 322 drives the two claw handles 321 to move away from each other, the two supporting plates 323 separate from each other to put down the partition bar 300, thereby realizing the putting down of the partition bar 300.

[0054] In this embodiment, the opening and closing power member 322 is a cylinder, and each claw handle 321 corresponds to a cylinder. In other embodiments, other power components that can achieve the same function can also be used, such as a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod or a motor.

[0055] In one embodiment, the profile loader 100 of the present application also includes an arranging mechanism 40 arranged on the side of the separation mechanism 20 away from the material frame 10, the arranging mechanism 40 includes a plurality of second conveyor belts 41 arranged parallel to the first conveyor belt 221 and an alignment roller frame 42 arranged below the conveyor belts, a lifting plate is provided at one end of the second conveyor belt 41 away from the first conveyor belt 221, a plurality of alignment rollers 44 are arranged at intervals on the alignment roller frame 42, each second conveyor belt 41 and each alignment roller 44 are arranged alternately, an alignment stop plate 45 is provided at one end of the alignment roller frame 42, and the arranging mechanism 40 also includes an alignment lifting member 46 for driving the alignment roller frame 42 to rise and fall. The profiles 200 can be neatly arranged by providing an arranging mechanism 40, and the profiles 200 on the first conveyor belt 221 are transferred to the second conveyor belt 41, and then the lifting baffle 43 at one end of the second conveyor belt 41 is lifted up to block the profiles 200, so that the profiles 200 are neatly arranged along the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt 41, and then the alignment lifting member 46 lifts the alignment roller frame 42, so that the profiles 200 fall on the alignment roller 44, and then the alignment roller 44 transfers the profiles 200 to the alignment baffle plate 45, so that the ends of the profiles 200 are aligned, so that the profiles 200 are neatly arranged, and when being transported from the second conveyor belt 41, the lifting baffle 43 is lowered and no longer blocks the position of the profiles 200.

[0056] Optionally, the lifting baffle 43 and the alignment roller frame 42 are driven to lift by a cylinder, that is, the alignment lifting member 46 is a cylinder, and the alignment roller 44 is driven to rotate forward and reverse by a servo motor. The driving structure of the second conveyor belt 41 is similar to the driving structure of the first conveyor belt 221, and will not be repeated here.

[0057] Furthermore, the profile receiving assembly 22 also includes a fixed baffle 222 and a lifting block 223 arranged at one end of the first conveyor belt 221 close to the second conveyor belt 41. The lifting block 223 is provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the profile 200. The profile receiving assembly 22 also includes a lifting power piece 224 and a pushing power piece 225. The lifting power piece 224 is used to drive the lifting block 223 to rise and fall, and the pushing power piece 225 is used to drive the lifting block 223 and the lifting power piece 224 to approach or move away from the second conveyor belt 41. After the profile 200 on the first conveyor belt 221 contacts the fixed baffle 222, the lifting power piece 224 lifts the lifting block 223, and then the pushing power piece 225 pushes the lifting block 223 toward the second conveyor belt 41, and the profile 200 on the first conveyor belt 221 is transferred to the second conveyor belt 41.

[0058] Optionally, the material lifting power member 224 and the material pushing power member 225 are both cylinders.

[0059] In one embodiment, the profile loader 100 of the present application also includes a flipping mechanism 50 arranged between the first conveyor belt 221 and the second conveyor belt 41, the flipping mechanism 50 includes a turntable 51, a clamping member 52 installed on the turntable 51 and a flipping power member 53 for driving the turntable 51 to rotate, the number of the clamping members 52 is at least one, one end of the clamping member 52 is connected to the turntable 51, and the other end extends outward from the turntable 51, and the end of the clamping member 52 away from the turntable 51 is provided with a slot corresponding to the profile 200. When the placement posture of the profile 200 in the material frame 10 is different from the posture required for processing, a flipping mechanism 50 is further arranged between the first conveyor belt 221 and the second conveyor belt 41. The push-pull power member pushes the profile 200 on the lifting block 223 into the slot on the clamping member 52, and then the flipping power member 53 drives the turntable 51 to rotate, so that the profile 200 is flipped at a certain angle and then placed on the second conveyor belt 41, thereby adjusting the posture of the profile 200 for subsequent processing.

[0060] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism 50 also includes a hanging plate 54, which is swingably set above the turntable 51 and is located on one side of the clamping member 52. The hanging plate 54 maintains contact with the profile 200 during the flipping and falling process of the profile 200 to ensure that the profile 200 is flipped to the posture on the second conveyor belt 41.

[0061] like Fig.10 As shown, for ease of understanding, it should be noted that the cross-section of the profile 200 in the figure is "L"-shaped, the purpose of which is to distinguish the difference in posture after flipping, and it is not limited to the profile loader of this application can only match the profile 200 of this shape. By setting the hanging plate 54, usually in order to ensure that the profile 200 can be smoothly inserted into the card slot and the profile 200 can be flipped, the width dimension of the card slot is larger than the width dimension of the profile 200. During the flipping and falling process of the profile 200, the hanging plate 54 and the profile 200 remain in contact, which can prevent the profile 200 from rotating in the card slot during the rotation of the turntable 51, and ensure that the profile 200 is in the correct posture when it falls on the second conveyor belt 41.

[0062] Optionally, the number of clamping members 52 provided on each turntable 51 can be increased or decreased according to actual needs. In order to improve work efficiency, it is best for each turntable 51 to be equipped with two or more clamping members 52.

[0066] Optionally, the horizontal driving member 33 and the lifting driving member 34 are both servo motors.

[0067] In other embodiments, the transfer mechanism 30 may also be directly installed on the ceiling of the workshop.

[0068] In order to facilitate the installation of the separation mechanism 20, the arrangement mechanism 40, the turning mechanism 50, and the transfer mechanism 60, the profile feeder 100 of the present application further includes a conveying frame 80 for installing the separation mechanism 20, the arrangement mechanism 40, the turning mechanism 50, and the transfer mechanism 60. Optionally, part or all of the conveying frame 80 is located below the frame 70.

[0069] The profile loader 100 of the present application further includes a controller (not shown), which is used to control the coordinated operation of various mechanisms.

[0070] When loading, first place the material frame 10 loaded with the profile 200 and the partition bar 300 to the specified position, then the horizontal driving member 33 drives the pick-up and placement rack 31 to move above the material frame 10, and then the lifting driving member 34 drives the pick-up and placement rack 31 to descend to the specified position, and then the opening and closing power member 322 drives the two claw hand rods 321 to approach each other, so that the two support plates 323 are close to or attached to the bottom of the partition bar 300, and then the lifting driving member 34 drives the pick-up and placement rack 31 to rise until the material frame 10 is separated, and the horizontal driving frame drives the pick-up and placement rack 31 to move horizontally to above the first conveyor belt 221, and then the lifting driving member 34 drives the pick-up and placement rack 31 to descend, so that the profile 200 on the partition bar 300 falls on the first conveyor belt 221, and the partition bar 300 falls into the storage groove, so that the partition bar 300 and the profile 200 are separated, and then the first conveyor belt 221 rotates to move the profile 200 toward the fixed baffle 222 The lifting block 223 lifts each profile 200 one by one and pushes it onto the transition conveyor belt 61. The transition conveyor belt 61 pushes the profiles 200 one by one into the slots on the clamping member 52. Then the turning power drives the turntable 51 to rotate and drives the profiles 200 to turn over and fall onto the second conveyor belt 41. The lifting baffle 43 at one end of the second conveyor belt 41 is driven to rise by the cylinder. The second conveyor belt 41 drives the profiles 200 to align with the lifting baffle 43. After the profiles 200 are neatly arranged in the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt 41, the alignment lifting member 46 drives the alignment roller frame 42 to rise, so that the alignment roller 44 lifts the profiles 200 from the second conveyor belt 41, and then the alignment roller 44 drives the profiles 200 to move toward the alignment baffle plate 45, so that the end faces of the profiles 200 are aligned. The neatly arranged profiles 200 are then transported to other places by the second conveyor belt 41 for processing.

[0071] The profile loading machine 100 of the present application arranges the partition bars 300 in the material frame 10 to stack the profiles 200 neatly and evenly in multiple layers, thereby avoiding collisions between the profiles 200 and making reasonable use of the space in the material frame 10. When taking out the profiles 200 in the material frame 10, the pick-up and placement rack 31 is translated to the top of the material frame 10 and descends to a suitable height, the clamping claw 32 clamps the partition bars 300, and then the pick-up and placement rack 31 rises to take out the partition bars 300 and the entire layer of profiles 200 placed on the partition bars 300 from the material frame 10, and then the pick-up and placement rack 31 is translated to the top of the separation mechanism 20 and then descends to the specified position. The profile 200 is placed on the first conveyor belt 221 and the partition bar 300 falls into the storage groove. Then the clamp 32 is opened and the pick-up and placement rack 31 is reset to complete the preliminary loading of the profile 200. During the loading process, the clamp 32 grabs the partition bar 300 instead of directly grabbing the profile 200, so that multiple profiles 200 can be grabbed at one time, which can improve the efficiency of grabbing and transferring the profile 200. The separation mechanism 20 can separate the partition bar 300 from the profile 200. No manual intervention is required during the loading process, which reduces the investment in manpower costs required for the processing of the profile 200 and also reduces the labor intensity of workers.
