[0006] The inclined surfaces on the fixed level plate and the movable level plate are inclined inwardly, and the aluminum profiles on the first level surface will lean against the second level. Under the action of gravity, the aluminum profiles on each level surface tend to move inwardly.

[0007] The movable step plate can fit the side of the fixed step plate and move upward under the push of the cam. When the cam pushes the movable step plate to move to the highest point, the cam continues to rotate, and the movable step plate will move downward in contact with the outer ring of the cam due to gravity.

When the movable step plates on both sides move upward, they push the aluminum profiles that enter the movable step surfaces on the left and right sides (i.e., placed horizontally) to the fixed step surface of the upper level.

[0011] The adjustable plate can move to the left or to the right in the guide column to adjust the distance. When the adjustable plate moves to the left in the guide column, the length of the aluminum profile placed becomes smaller, which is suitable for the use of short aluminum profiles; when the adjustable plate moves to the right in the guide column, the length of the aluminum profile placed becomes longer, which is suitable for the use of longer aluminum profiles.

[0022] exist Figure 1-5 In the illustrated embodiment, an automatic feeding device for aluminum profiles comprises a frame body 1, a fixed step plate 21, a movable step plate 8, a drive shaft 11, and a cam 12. The frame body 1 is provided with symmetrical fixed step plates 21 and movable step plates 8 on the left and right sides, respectively. The movable step plate 8 is provided with a support portion 10 in contact with the cam 12. The cam 12 is connected to the drive shaft 11. The drive motor controls the rotation of the drive shaft 11. The drive shaft 11 controls the rotation of the two cams 12. The cam 12 pushes the movable step plate 8 to move in the T-slot of the fixed step plate 21. When the movable step plate 8 moves upward, it pushes the aluminum profiles that enter the same movable step surface 9 on the left and right sides to the fixed step surface 3 of the upper level. The aluminum profiles 13 that enter the first-level movable step surface 9 are continuously pushed to the fixed step surface 3 of the upper level until the aluminum profiles are pushed to a specific position at the top for use.

[0023] The fixed step plate 21 is provided with a plurality of inclined fixed step surfaces 3, and the movable step plate 8 is provided with a plurality of inclined movable step surfaces 9. The step surfaces of the movable step plate 8 and the fixed step plate 21 are horizontally offset by one-half and fit together.

[0024] The inclined surfaces on the fixed step plate 21 and the movable step plate 8 are inclined inwards, and the aluminum profiles 13 on the first step surface will lean against the second step surface. Under the action of gravity, the aluminum profiles 13 on each step surface tend to move inwards.

[0025] The movable step plate 8 can fit the side of the fixed step plate 21 and move upward under the push of the cam 12. When the cam 12 pushes the movable step plate 8 to move to the highest point, the cam 12 continues to rotate, and the movable step plate 8 will move downward in contact with the outer ring of the cam 12 due to gravity. Each time the movable step plate 8 moves up and down, the aluminum profile 13 above the movable step surface 9 of the movable step plate 8 that enters the loading part 7 from the storage part 6 is pushed to the first step of the fixed step plate 21, the aluminum profile 13 in the first step of the fixed step plate 21 is pushed to the second step, the aluminum profile 13 in the second step is pushed to the third step, and the aluminum profile 13 in the third step is pushed to the fourth step, and the aluminum profile 13 is pushed to the highest step position and enters the placement slot 15 in sequence, and then the aluminum profile 13 is clamped by the robot and transferred to the secondary processing, thereby realizing automatic loading.

There is a feed port 53 between the feed plate 5 and the bottom of the storage section 6. The height of the feed port 53 is greater than the cross-section of the aluminum profile 13. Only one aluminum profile 13 can enter the loading section 7 at a time, and the bottom surface of the storage section 6 is an inclined shape. Under the action of gravity, the aluminum profile 13 will enter the loading section through the feed port 52 at the lower end of the feed plate 5, and be above the movable step surface 9 at the lowest point of the movable step plate 8. The movable step plate 8 moves upward to push the aluminum profile 13 in the loading section to the first step of the fixed step plate 21. The distance between the feed plate 5 and the bottom of the storage portion 6 is adjustable. When using aluminum profiles 13 with different cross-sections, the adjusting screw 51 can be loosened and the feed plate 5 can be moved to adjust the height of the feed port 52 so that only one aluminum profile 13 can enter at a time. The feed plate 5 can also be moved to adjust the width of the loading portion 7 to 1.2-1.8 times the cross-section of the aluminum profile 13, which can avoid multiple aluminum profiles 13 entering the loading portion 7 at one time and is convenient during use, meeting the use of aluminum profiles 13 with different cross-sections.

The adjustable plate 14 is provided with a fixed step plate 21, a movable step plate 8 and a feed plate 5 which are symmetrical to the left frame plate 2. The driving shaft 11 synchronously controls the rotation of two cams 12. The two cams 12 synchronously push the movable step plates 8 on both sides of the frame body 1 to move in the T-slots of the fixed step plates 21. When the movable step plates 8 on both sides move upward, they push the horizontally placed aluminum profiles 13 which enter the movable step surfaces 9 on the left and right sides to the fixed step surface 3 of the upper level.

[0029] The adjustable plate 14 can move to the left or right in the guide column 23 to adjust the distance. When the adjustable plate 14 moves to the left in the guide column, the length of the aluminum profile 13 becomes shorter, which is suitable for the use of short aluminum profiles 13; when the adjustable plate 14 moves to the right in the guide column, the length of the aluminum profile 13 becomes longer, which is suitable for the use of longer aluminum profiles 13. The adjustable plate 14 can be used to adjust and adapt to aluminum profiles 13 of different lengths, which is more convenient during use. Tightening the fixing screws can fix the adjustable plate 14 in the guide column. The aluminum profile 13 can be a square tube or a round tube.

Under the action of gravity, the aluminum profiles 13 enter the loading portion 7 through the feeding port 52 at the lower end of the feeding plate 5, that is, above the movable step surface 9 at the lowest point of the movable step plate 8. The driving motor controls the driving shaft 11 to rotate, and the driving shaft 11 controls the two cams 12 to rotate. The two cams 12 synchronously push the movable step plates 8 on the left and right sides to move upward in the T-slots of the fixed step plate 21. When the movable step plate 8 moves upward, the aluminum profiles that have entered the movable step surfaces 9 on the left and right sides are moved to the fixed step of the upper level. The aluminum profile 13 on the movable step surface 9 of the first level is continuously pushed to the fixed step surface 3 of the upper level, and the cycle continues until the aluminum profile is pushed to the placement groove 53 at the top for use, or the aluminum profile 13 in the placement groove 53 is clamped by the robot and transferred to the secondary processing, thereby replacing manual automatic placement of the aluminum profile in the required position, and then performing secondary processing into products. The distance between the adjustable plate 14 on the right side of the automatic feeding device and the left frame plate 2 can also be adjusted to be suitable for aluminum profiles of different lengths. The efficiency is high and the performance is stable during use.
