[0037] The electrical box 4 is installed on the frame 1; the power distribution cabinet 6 is installed on the frame 1 and is symmetrically arranged with the electrical box 4.

[0038] During use, start the aluminum profile stacking machine. The electrical box 4 and the power distribution cabinet 6 provide power support for the entire system.

The first linear module 301 drives the moving frame 302 to move horizontally above the aluminum profile. The second linear module 303 drives the first slide rail 304 to descend vertically. At the same time, the two second slide rails 305 adjust the spacing according to the size of the aluminum profile. The suction cup assembly 306 contacts and adsorbs the aluminum profile to ensure stable grasping and avoid damaging the surface. According to the stacking position, the suction and suspension mechanism 3 transports the aluminum profile above the stacking area through the combined movement of the first linear module 301 and the second linear module 303.

The ball screw 204 in the stacking mechanism 2 adjusts the spacing between the two moving seats 205 and the limiting rods 206 according to the size of the aluminum profile to ensure that the aluminum profile can be stably placed on the loading plate 202. The suction and suspension mechanism 3 releases the aluminum profile and places it on the loading plate 202 to complete the stacking action. The lifting mechanism 7 controls the stacking mechanism 2 to descend or rise according to the next stacking position to prepare for the next stacking. Repeat the above steps to achieve continuous stacking operation of aluminum profiles.

[0039] In summary, compared with the prior art, the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0040] By optimizing the designs of the stacking mechanism 2, the suction and suspension mechanism 3, and the lifting mechanism 7, the aluminum profile stacking machine can complete the stacking operation in a smaller space, effectively improving the space utilization rate.
