Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, specifically to an intelligent automatic conveyor for building construction profiles. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of steel structure construction, welding of profiles (such as I-beams, rectangular tubular steel, triangular steel, and L-shaped steel) is one of the core processes. The pre-welding material handling directly determines the efficiency, precision, and safety of the welding operation. Currently, the industry relies heavily on traditional tower crane hoisting combined with manual handling for pre-welding material handling. This method has significant limitations in meeting the demands of welding operations, specifically:

[0003] Insufficient conveying accuracy affects welding quality: Welding operations require extremely high precision in the butt joint of profiles (errors must be controlled within millimeters). However, traditional tower cranes rely on steel cables for suspension and conveying. Profiles are easily affected by wind and hoisting sway, causing them to shift and rotate. This makes it impossible to accurately align the welding joints when butt jointing the profiles, requiring repeated manual adjustments. This not only prolongs the welding preparation time but may also lead to insufficient weld joint strength due to butt joint deviations, leaving structural safety hazards.

[0004] Poor site adaptability and difficulty in connecting welding stations: Welding operations often need to be carried out in confined spaces such as inside steel structure frames and high-rise building platforms. Traditional tower cranes are limited by their operating radius and installation base, making it impossible to directly transport profiles to the vicinity of the welding station. The profiles must be manually moved from the tower crane unloading point to the welding area. During this process, the profiles are prone to surface damage due to collisions and friction, affecting the cleanliness of the weld surface. At the same time, in complex sites (such as welding during the renovation of existing buildings), tower cranes are difficult to deploy, further restricting the efficiency of welding operations.

[0005] Low compatibility with various profile types increases welding auxiliary costs: Steel structure welding involves profiles with large differences in shape (I-beam, rectangular, triangular, L-shaped) and size. Traditional conveying equipment (such as special lifting tools) is mostly designed with fixed specifications and can only adapt to a single type of profile. When facing different profile welding needs, it is necessary to frequently change the lifting tools or adjust the conveying scheme, which not only increases the equipment idle rate and replacement time, but also requires the customization of special conveying tools for special profiles (such as triangular steel and L-shaped steel), thus increasing welding auxiliary costs.

[0006] Insufficient safety measures threaten the safety of welding workers: During high-rise welding construction, when traditional tower cranes are used to hoist profiles, issues such as worn steel cables and loose fasteners may cause the profiles to fall, posing a significant threat to the lives of welding workers below. At the same time, when manually carrying profiles to the welding station, operations must be carried out on high-altitude platforms or in gaps in the steel structure. This can easily lead to injuries or fatalities due to exhaustion or the profiles slipping, further exacerbating the safety risks of welding operations.

[0007] Low conveying efficiency restricts the continuity of welding operations: Traditional tower cranes have long single conveying cycles (including hooking, lifting, positioning, and unloading) and cannot achieve continuous conveying. When welding operations require high-frequency supply of profiles, it is easy for the supply of profiles to be interrupted, resulting in idle welding stations. In addition, when manually adjusting the docking position of profiles, the conveying process needs to be paused, further extending the overall welding operation cycle, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency construction requirements of large-scale steel structure welding.

[0018] The present invention proposes an intelligent automatic conveyor for building construction profiles. Compared with traditional tower cranes, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] Please see Figures 1-14 The present invention provides a technical solution: an intelligent automatic conveyor for building construction profiles, comprising a first fixed structure 1, a pair of first conveying structures 2, a second fixed structure 3, and a pair of second conveying structures 4; the pair of first conveying structures 2 are respectively disposed on the first fixed structure 1, and the first conveying structures 2 are symmetrically located on the front and rear sides; the second fixed structure 3 is located below the first fixed structure 1; the pair of second conveying structures 4 are the same as the first conveying structures 2, and the pair of second conveying structures 4 are respectively disposed on the second fixed structure 3, and the second conveying structures 4 are symmetrically located on the left and right sides.

[0040] The first fixed structure 1 is detachably mounted on the steel structure load-bearing column. The first conveying structure 2 is used for front and rear limiting. The second fixed structure 3 is detachably mounted on the steel structure load-bearing column and is located below the first fixed structure 1 and fits into it. The second conveying structure 4 is used for left and right limiting. After the second conveying structure 4 and the first conveying structure 2 are installed, they form a cross-shaped connection opposite each other to achieve clamping and limiting in four directions. It can also smoothly convey the profile through the first conveying structure 2 and the second conveying structure 4. The equipment can be set up in multiple sets in series according to the foundation load-bearing column of the steel structure frame on the construction site to realize the combined adjustment of the conveying height.

[0041] Furthermore, the first fixing structure 1 includes a first locking arm 11, several first bolts 12, a first slide rail 13, and a pair of first adjusting units 14. One end of the first locking arm 11 is concave, and threaded holes are symmetrically arranged near the four corners of the first locking arm 11. Several first bolts 12 are screwed into the threaded holes of the first locking arm 11 respectively. The first slide rail 13 is fixedly arranged on the other end of the first locking arm 11, and the two ends of the first slide rail 13 are symmetrically located on both sides of the first locking arm 11. The first slide rail 13 is symmetrically arranged with relatively movable first moving seats. A pair of first adjusting units 14 are symmetrically arranged on the first moving seats of the first slide rail 13 respectively. By fitting the first locking arm 11 onto the steel column, it can be tightened and fixed by screwing the first bolts 12. The first adjusting units 14 are moved relatively by the first slide rail 13 to adjust the spacing, allowing the use of profiles of different widths or thicknesses.

[0042] Furthermore, the first adjusting unit 14 includes a first support 141, a first shaft 142, a first gear 143, a gear plate 144, a first hydraulic cylinder 145, a first swing arm 146, a pair of first adapter arms 147, and several first adjusting bolts 148; one end of the first support 141 is fixedly mounted on the first slide rail 13 and moves back and forth via the first slide rail 13; one end of the first shaft 142 movably passes through the middle of the other end of the first support 141; the first gear 143... 3. Fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the first shaft 142, one end of the toothed plate 144 is movably inserted into the lower wall of the other end of the first support 141, and the side wall of the toothed plate 144 is provided with several teeth that mesh with the first gear 143. The first hydraulic cylinder 145 is fixedly mounted on the lower wall of one end of the first support 141, and the telescopic end of the first hydraulic cylinder 145 is fixedly connected to one end of the toothed plate 144. The first hydraulic cylinder 145 drives the toothed plate 144 to move left and right on the other end of the first support 141, causing the first gear 143 to move. When gear 143 rotates, the first swing arm 146 is L-shaped. One end of the first swing arm 146 is fixedly mounted on the top of the first shaft 142. The other end of the first swing arm 146 has a T-shaped moving groove 149 through it. One end of a pair of first adapter arms 147 is movably inserted into the moving groove 149 of the first swing arm 146 and is symmetrical to each other. Several first adjusting bolts 148 movably pass through the moving grooves 149 of the upper and lower walls of the first swing arm 146 and are screwed into the upper and lower side walls of one end of the first adapter arms 147 and fixed thereto. The other ends of the pair of first adapter arms 147 are both concave. The first hydraulic cylinder 145 drives the toothed plate 144 to move on the lower wall of the first support 141. Then, the toothed plate 144 meshes with the first gear 143 to drive the first shaft 142 to rotate, thereby driving the first swing arm 146 to flip. This achieves the tilt angle of the first conveying structure 2 set on the first swing arm 146 through the first adapter arm 147. This is applicable to triangular steel profiles.

[0043] More specifically, activating the first hydraulic cylinder 145 causes its telescopic end to move the toothed plate 144 left and right within the lower wall of the other end of the first support 141. Because the toothed plate 144 meshes with the first gear 143, the linear movement of the toothed plate is converted into the rotational motion of the first gear 143, which in turn drives the first shaft 142, fixed to the first gear 143, to rotate synchronously. When the first shaft 142 rotates, the first swing arm 146, fixed at its top, flips accordingly, thereby changing the tilt angle of the first conveying structure 2 connected to the first swing arm 146 via the first adapter arm 147, causing the rubber roller of the first conveying structure 2 to... 23 can fit the inclined sidewall of the triangular steel profile to achieve stable clamping and conveying; the first support 141 can move back and forth through the first movable seat of the first slide rail 13 to initially adjust the lateral distance between the first adjustment unit 14 and the profile; if further fine-tuning is required between the first conveying structure 2 and the profile, the first adjusting bolt 148 can be loosened to push the first adapter arm 147 to slide in the T-shaped moving groove 149 of the first swing arm 146. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the first adjusting bolt 148 can be tightened again to ensure that the first conveying structure 2 can accurately adapt to profiles of different sizes.

[0044] The first adjustment unit 14 can flexibly adjust the tilt angle of the first conveying structure 2 and precisely fine-tune its lateral position. Its function is to adapt to the tilted sidewall of the triangular steel profile, while also being compatible with the clamping requirements of other shaped profiles. Together with the first conveying structure 2, the second adjustment unit 35, and the second conveying structure 4, it forms a stable limit and conveying mechanism for multiple types (I-shaped, rectangular, triangular, L-shaped) profiles, reducing equipment replacement costs and improving the adaptability of the equipment in construction scenarios.

[0045] Furthermore, the first conveying structure 2 includes an adapter frame 21, a pair of drive units 22, a rubber roller 23, a power cord 24, and an adapter cable 25. The adapter frame 21 has rectangular frame structures at both ends and is fixedly mounted on the first adapter arm 147 of the first adjustment unit 14. The pair of drive units 22 are respectively fixedly mounted inside the two ends of the adapter frame 21. The rubber roller 23 is movably mounted between the pair of drive units 22. The power cord 24 is detachably connected to the drive unit 22, and the adapter cable 25 is detachably connected between the drive units 22. The drive units 22 are connected in series through the adapter cable 25, which is detachably connected between the first slide rail 13 and the drive unit 22. The two drive units 22 are symmetrically fixed by the adapter frame 21, and the rubber roller 23 is set between the drive units 22. The drive units 22 synchronously drive the rubber roller 23 to rotate. The detachable power cord 24 and the adapter cable 25 enable the drive units 22 to be powered on and connected in series.

[0046] More specifically, after the equipment is started, the main control circuit supplies power to the drive unit 22 through the power line 24, and the adapter cable 25 realizes the synchronous signal transmission of a pair of drive units 22, ensuring that the output speed and direction of the two are completely consistent; the output end of the drive unit 22 directly drives the rubber roller 23 to rotate around the axis, forming a continuous conveying power surface; when the first adjustment unit 14 adjusts the tilt angle, the adapter frame 21 flips synchronously with the first adapter arm 147, and the tilt angle of the rubber roller 23 changes accordingly, and its elastic rubber layer surface can closely fit the side wall contour of the triangular steel profile; at the same time, the rotation direction of the rubber roller 23 is consistent with the profile conveying direction, and the profile is driven forward by the friction between the rubber roller 23 and the profile surface, avoiding slippage.

[0047] Furthermore, the drive unit 22 includes a drive housing 221, several adapter interfaces 222, a control board body 223, a camera 224, a pair of second gears 225, a ratchet 226, a second hydraulic cylinder 227, a gear seat 228, a top seat 229, a ratchet 230, and a spring 220. The drive housing 221 is a rectangular box, and one end of the drive housing 221 is fixedly inserted into one end of the adapter frame 21. Several adapter interfaces 222 are respectively fixedly embedded in the front side wall of the drive housing 221, and the adapter interfaces 222 can be connected to the power cord 24 and the adapter cable 25. The control board body 223 is fixedly disposed at one end of the drive housing 221. On the inner lower wall, camera 224 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the rear side wall of drive box 221. A pair of second gears 225 are movably mounted on the inner left side wall of drive box 221 near the rear end via axles. The axle of one of the second gears 225 is fixedly connected to the rubber roller 23. Ratchet 226 is fixedly mounted on the other second gear 225. Second hydraulic cylinder 227 is fixedly mounted through the lower wall of drive box 221 and located to the right of ratchet 226. One end of gear seat 228 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of second hydraulic cylinder 227, and the other end of gear seat 228 corresponds to ratchet 226. The other end of gear seat 228 is concave. The seat 229 is L-shaped. One end of the top seat 229 is fixedly inserted through the middle of the other end of the toothed seat 228. One end of the ratchet 230 is movably disposed in the middle of the other end of the toothed seat 228, and the other end of the ratchet 230 meshes with the ratchet 226. The other end of the ratchet 230 can be flipped upwards, and the lower wall of the ratchet 230 is fitted and limited against the other end of the top seat 229. The spring 220 is fixedly disposed between one end of the top seat 229 and one end of the ratchet 230, and the spring 220 is compressed when the ratchet 230 is flipped upwards. The camera 224 automatically determines whether there is a steel profile between the rubber rollers 23 by imaging, and starts by extending the second hydraulic cylinder 227 to drive the toothed wheel. The ratchet 230 on the seat 228 moves upward and engages with the ratchet 226, causing the ratchet 226 to rotate forward, thereby driving one of the second gears 225 to rotate forward. When the second hydraulic cylinder 227 retracts and descends, because the ratchet 230 is engaged with the ratchet 226, the ratchet 230 is blocked by the ratchet 226 and is rotated by force. At the same time, the spring 220 is compressed, so the ratchet 230 moves downward and is reset by the spring 220 and the top seat 229, and then engages with the ratchet 226 again to achieve unidirectional rotation. This drives the other second gear 225 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby causing the profile in contact with it to be moved upward and conveyed.

[0048] More specifically, the camera 224 collects image information of the gap area of ​​the rubber roller 23 in real time and transmits the data to the control board body 223; the control board body 223 automatically determines whether there is a steel profile entering the conveying area through an image recognition algorithm (preset profile contour feature library), realizing intelligent control of standby when there is no material and start-up when there is material; when a profile is detected, the control board body 223 receives power from the main control circuit through the adapter 222 and simultaneously sends a telescopic command to the second hydraulic cylinder 227 to start the transmission process;

[0049] The extension of the second hydraulic cylinder 227 drives the gear seat 228 to move upward. The ratchet 230 remains vertical under the limiting action of the top seat 229 and precisely meshes with the tooth groove of the ratchet 226. As the gear seat 228 continues to move upward, the ratchet 230 pushes the ratchet 226 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the coaxial second gear 225 to rotate synchronously. The retraction of the second hydraulic cylinder 227 drives the gear seat 228 to move downward. At this time, the ratchet 230 is subjected to the reverse force of the tooth surface of the ratchet 226, and flips upward around the hinge point. At the same time, it compresses the spring 220 and slides along the back of the ratchet 226. When the ratchet 230 disengages from the current tooth groove, it returns to the vertical state under the restoring force of the spring 220, moves down with the gear seat 228 to the next tooth groove and re-engages, completing the cycle of "single drive, reset and re-drive".

[0050] The reverse transmission is achieved by meshing a pair of second gears 225. The second gears 225 connected to the rubber roller 23 rotate continuously, driving the rubber roller 23 to rotate synchronously. The rubber roller 23 drives the steel profile to be conveyed along a preset direction (slanted upward) by surface friction.

[0051] Furthermore, the second fixing structure 3 includes a second locking arm 31, several second bolts 32, a second slide rail 33, a third slide rail 34, and a pair of second adjusting units 35; the second locking arm 31 is the same as the first locking arm 11, several second bolts 32 are respectively screwed onto the second locking arm 31, the second slide rail 33 is vertically arranged on the other end of the second locking arm 31, and the second moving seat of the second slide rail 33 is connected to the other end of the second locking arm 31; the third slide rail 34 is vertically arranged on one end of the second slide rail 33, and the third slide rail 34 moves back and forth through the second slide rail 33. A third movable seat that moves relative to each other is symmetrically arranged on the three slide rails 34. A pair of second adjustment units 35 are respectively fixed on the third slide rails 34. The second clamping arm 31 is fixed to the lower part of the first fixed structure 1 by the second bolt 32. The front and rear positions of the second conveying structure 4 on the second adjustment unit 35 are adjusted by the second slide rail 33. The spacing of the second conveying structure 4 is adjusted by the third slide rail 34. After the setup is completed, the first conveying structure 2 and the second conveying structure 4 are set up in a vertically staggered manner to realize the limiting of the front and rear side walls and the left and right side walls of the profile.

[0052] More specifically, the second fixed structure 3 is a core component that enables the equipment to be stably installed below the first fixed structure 1, provides support and adjustment foundation for the second conveying structure 4, and works with the first fixed structure 1 to achieve four-way limiting of the profile.

[0053] Furthermore, the second adjustment unit 35 includes a second support 351, a second swing arm 352, a pair of second adapter arms 353, and several second adjustment bolts 354. The second support 351 is the same as the first support 141, with one end of the second support 351 fixedly mounted on the third slide rail 34. The second swing arm 352 is the same as the first swing arm 146, and the second swing arm 352 is provided with a moving groove 149. One end of the second swing arm 352 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the second support 351, and one end of each pair of second adapter arms 353 is movably inserted into the moving groove 149 of the second swing arm 352. Furthermore, they are symmetrical to each other, and several second adjusting bolts 354 respectively move through the upper and lower side walls of the second swing arm 352, and the second adjusting bolts 354 are screwed into the upper and lower side walls of one end of the second swing arm 352; the second adapter arm 353 is supported by the second support 351 and the second swing arm 352, and a second conveying structure 4 is set to realize the arrangement of the second conveying structure 4 and the first conveying structure 2. The second conveying structure 4 is the same as the first conveying structure 2, and the length of the adapter frame 21 and the rubber roller 23 of the second conveying structure 4 is greater than that of the adapter frame 21 and the rubber roller 23 of the first conveying structure 2.

[0054] More specifically, when conveying profiles of different widths, the third moving seat on the third slide rail 34 drives the entire second adjusting unit 35 connected to the second support 351 to move, initially adjusting the distance between the two second adjusting units 35 so that the second conveying structure 4 can roughly fit the left and right sidewalls of the profile; then, the second adjusting bolt 354 is loosened, and the second adapter arm 353 is pushed to slide in the moving groove 149 of the second swing arm 352 to further fine-tune the position of the second conveying structure 4 until the rubber roller 23 of the second conveying structure 4 can fit tightly against the sidewall of the profile; finally, the second adjusting bolt 354 is tightened to complete the distance adjustment and fixing.

[0055] During the profile conveying process, the second adjustment unit 35 can provide continuous and stable support for the second conveying structure 4, preventing the second conveying structure 4 from shifting or being damaged due to the weight of the profile or the force applied during the conveying process, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the profile conveying.

[0056] Since the second conveying structure 4 is the same as the first conveying structure 2, and the length of the adapter frame 21 and the rubber roller 23 of the second conveying structure 4 is greater than that of the corresponding parts of the first conveying structure 2, the second adjustment unit 35 adapts to the installation requirements of the second conveying structure 4 through its own structural design; through the connection between the second adapter arm 353 and the adapter frame 21 of the second conveying structure 4, the second conveying structure 4 can be stably fixed on the second adjustment unit 35. At the same time, with the adjustment function of the second adjustment unit 35, the second conveying structure 4 can better play its role in limiting and conveying the profile to the left and right. Especially for the longer profiles, the longer rubber roller 23 can provide more uniform support and conveying force, reducing bending or shaking during the profile conveying process.

[0057] The second conveying structure 4 supported by the second adjustment unit 35 cooperates with the first conveying structure 2 supported by the first adjustment unit 14. The first conveying structure 2 realizes the limitation and conveying of the profile in the front and rear directions, and the second conveying structure 4 realizes the limitation and conveying of the profile in the left and right directions. The two form an all-round clamping and conveying system. Whether it is an I-shaped profile, a rectangular tubular profile, a triangular profile, or an L-shaped profile, it can achieve stable and efficient conveying under this system, which greatly improves the adaptability and practicality of the equipment in the construction scene.

[0058] Its detailed connection method is a well-known technology in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the specific work is as follows.

[0059] The first fixing structure 1 is secured by the first clamping arm 11 on the load-bearing column of the steel frame and the first bolt 12 is screwed on. The steel frame is then tightened by the first bolt 12, thus installing the first fixing structure 1 and the first conveying structure 2, and making the first conveying structure 2 symmetrical on the front and rear sides.

[0060] Similar to the installation of the first fixed structure 1, the second clamping arm 31 of the second fixed structure 3 is clamped onto the load-bearing column, and then tightened and fixed by the second bolt 32 to realize the installation of the second fixed structure 3 and the second conveying structure 4; according to the requirements, the distance between the first fixed structure 1 and the second fixed structure 3 is set during installation, and the second fixed structure 3 is located below the first fixed structure 1 to realize the left and right symmetry of the second conveying structure 4, which cooperates with the first conveying structure 2 to realize the limitation in the front, back and left and right directions;

[0061] Then, according to the required conveying height, multiple first fixed structures 1, first conveying structures 2, second fixed structures 3, and second conveying structures 4 are added. The spacing of the multiple sets is smaller than the length of the conveyed profile, so that the profile can receive the force. Then, multiple first conveying structures 2 and second conveying structures 4 are connected in series through adapter cable 25, and power cord 24 is connected to one of the second conveying structures 4 or the first conveying structure 2 to provide power. The corresponding remote control device can be connected through adapter interface 222 or wireless remote control can be performed through control board body 223.

[0062] After the equipment is powered on, the camera 224 will image and determine whether the profile has passed between the rubber rollers 23. At this time, the profile can be placed vertically and one end of the profile can be passed through the bottom second conveying structure 4 and the first conveying structure 2. At this time, the front and rear side walls of the profile are in contact with the rubber rollers 23 in the first conveying structure 2, and the left and right side walls of the profile are in contact with the rubber rollers 23 in the second conveying structure 4.

[0063] According to the size of the profile, the first slide rail 13 is controlled to drive the first adjustment unit 14 to move relative to each other, so that the two first conveying structures 2 can move relative to each other to clamp the profile; and the third slide rail 34 is activated to drive the second adjustment unit 35 to move relative to each other, so that the second conveying structure 4 can move relative to each other to clamp the profile, thus fitting different sizes of profiles.

[0064] Then, by extending the second hydraulic rod in the drive unit 22, the ratchet 230 on the gear seat 228 is raised. Because the lower wall of one end of the ratchet 230 is limited by the top seat 229 and cannot be forced downwards, the ratchet 230 rigidly contacts the ratchet 226, causing the ratchet 226 to rotate clockwise. This, in turn, drives one of the corresponding second gears 225 to rotate. Since the two second gears 225 are meshed, they further drive the other second gear 225 to rotate counterclockwise, thus causing the rubber roller 23 to rotate. Through friction, the profile is forced to rotate. The upper moving conveyor; and through the engagement of ratchet 226 and ratchet 230, and the clamping force of rubber roller 23, when the second hydraulic cylinder 227 retracts, it drives the ratchet 230 to descend, and the ratchet 230 is blocked and flipped by ratchet 226, compressing spring 220. After the ratchet 230 descends and resets, it is re-engaged with ratchet 226 by the force of spring 220, realizing unidirectional drive; with the same principle as above, the second conveying structure 4 starts synchronously, realizing the simultaneous application of force and clamping on the four side walls, driving the profile to be vertically raised and conveyed by force;

[0065] Furthermore, as the profile rises, its top end enters another set of first conveyor structures 2 and second conveyor structures 4. Similarly, with the imaging of camera 224, the entry of the profile is automatically determined, and the first conveyor structure 2 and second conveyor structure 4 are activated, thus achieving a stable relay transmission effect without worrying about the impact of shaking or strong winds, thereby improving the safety of the transmission.

[0066] When conveying different profiles, use the following:

[0067] (1) When conveying I-shaped profiles (such as...) Figure 11 As shown in the figure, select the corresponding contact wall surface according to the size of the profile, and it can be clamped by the rubber roller 23 in the first conveying structure 2 and the second conveying structure 4.

[0068] (2) When conveying rectangular tubular profiles (such as...) Figure 12 As shown), the four side walls can be clamped by the rubber roller 23;

[0069] (3) When conveying triangular profiles (e.g.) Figure 13 As shown), the profile is clamped by two second conveying structures 4, one side wall and one angled end. The first hydraulic cylinder 145 in the first adjusting unit 14 is extended, which drives the toothed plate 144 to move on the lower wall of the first support 141. The toothed plate 144 meshes with the first gear 143, which drives the first shaft 142 to rotate, thereby driving the first swing arm 146 to rotate at a certain angle, thus realizing the rotation of the first conveying structure 2, making the rubber roller 23 in the first conveying structure 2 tilt, and then clamping the tilted rubber roller 23 on the tilted side wall of the triangular profile to limit it, thus realizing the overall clamping and conveying.

[0070] (4) When conveying L-shaped profiles (such as...) Figure 14 As shown), the L-shaped profile is held by the rubber roller 23 of the second conveying structure 4 or the first conveying structure 2, which clamps one end of the profile and the side wall corresponding to one end; while the rubber roller 23 in the first conveying structure 2 clamps the front and rear side walls of one end, or the side wall corresponding to the other end of the profile.

[0071] Since the first support 141 and the first swing arm 146 in the first adjustment unit 14 are the same as the second support 351 and the second swing arm 352 in the second adjustment unit 35, and the same first adapter arm 147 and the second adapter arm 353 are provided, they can be used interchangeably. That is, the second conveying structure 4 can be provided on the first adjustment unit 14, and the first conveying structure 2 can be provided on the second adjustment unit 35.

[0072] Furthermore, depending on the installation method, to fit different lengths of adapter bracket 21, the first adapter arm 147 and the second adapter arm 353 can be moved and adjusted in the moving groove 149 of the first swing arm 146 and the second swing arm 352, and then fixed by the first adjusting bolt 148 and the second adjusting bolt 354, so that they can fit different adapter brackets 21.

[0073] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
