[0002] In existing profile production processes, profiles are typically transported from the production line to storage or processing areas via conveyor belts. This method of conveying is widely used in many factories because it allows for continuous production and automates the material handling process to a certain extent. However, existing methods still suffer from inefficiencies during the unloading phase, specifically:
[0003] When the profiles arrive at their designated location, they must be unloaded from the conveyor belt by forklifts or other heavy machinery. Frequent unloading operations are required to prevent the profiles from accumulating on the conveyor belt. This step not only increases the need for manual intervention, but also increases operation time and costs. Utility Model Content

[0027] The present application will be further described below in detail through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0028] In the description of this application: unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more. The terms "first", "second", "third", etc. in this application are intended to distinguish the objects referred to and do not have any special meaning in terms of technical connotation (for example, they should not be understood as emphasizing the importance or order, etc.). Expressions such as "including", "comprising", "having", etc. also mean "not limited to" (certain units, components, materials, steps, etc.).
[0029] The terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", etc. cited in this application are usually used to indicate the general relative position relationship for the convenience of intuitive understanding by referring to the drawings, and are not absolute limitations on the position relationship in the actual product.
[0030] A profile unloading rack, including a conveying device. Figure 1-Figure 3 The conveying device includes a base 1 and a conveying frame 2. The base 1 includes a frame 11 and a bracket 12. The frame 11 is horizontally placed on the upper end of the bracket 12. The conveying frame 2 includes a rectangular outer frame 21 and a plurality of rollers 22 arranged in parallel. All the rollers 22 are rotatably connected to the outer frame 21 for conveying profiles. The conveying frame 2 is installed above the frame 11, and a side edge of the outer frame 21 is hinged to a corresponding side edge of the frame 11, so that the outer frame 21 can be flipped around the hinge axis. Specifically, the hinge axis of the outer frame 21 is perpendicular to the axis of the roller 22, and a driving member 3 for driving the conveying frame 2 to flip is also installed on the bracket 12.
[0031] In specific implementation, after the profile is transported by the conveying device to the conveying rack 2 and stops steadily, the driving member 3 drives the conveying rack 2 to flip, and the profile on the conveying rack 2 slides down along the conveying rack 2 under the action of gravity, realizing automatic unloading.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4In this embodiment, a pneumatic cylinder is used as the drive frame. The side where the outer frame 21 is hinged to the frame body 11 is the hinged end, and the side opposite the hinged end is the rotating end. The pneumatic cylinder is located below the area between the hinged end and the rotating end. The conveyor frame 2 also includes a crossbar 23, which is fixedly mounted on the outer frame 21 parallel to the axis of the roller 22. During installation, the lower end of the pneumatic cylinder is hinged to the bracket 12, and the upper end is hinged to the bottom of the crossbar 23.
[0033] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The setting position of the cylinder is not fixed. In other embodiments, the cylinder can also be set directly below the rotating end, and correspondingly, the cross bar 23 is not set, and the upper end of the cylinder is directly hinged to the outer frame 21.
[0034] Regardless of where the cylinder is located, as long as the cylinder's extension and contraction can drive the conveyor rack 2 to flip, the cylinder's location can be adjusted based on actual needs. To reduce the driving force required to flip the conveyor rack 2, the cylinder can be located near the rotating end. To minimize the space occupied by the cylinder while maintaining the same dimensions of the conveyor rack 2, the cylinder can be located near the hinged end of the rotating end.
[0035] When the transmission rack 2 is not turned over, the cylinder remains in a vertical state. After the transmission rack 2 turns over, the cylinder tilts towards the side that turns over.
[0036] In order to improve the stability of the conveying rack 2 when it is turned over, multiple driving members 3 and cross bars 23 are provided along the hinge axis direction of the outer frame 21 to jointly provide driving force for the turning of the conveying rack 2.
[0037] To prevent the profiles from sliding and dispersing, a blocking column 4 is installed on one side of the bracket 12. This blocking column 4 is located on the side of the bracket 12 where the hinge is located and is fixed to the ground. Multiple blocking columns 4 are positioned along the hinge axis, and a gap is left between each blocking column 4 and the bracket 12 for the profiles to rest on. Therefore, when the conveyor rack 2 flips and causes the profiles to slide, they automatically fall into the gap between the blocking column 4 and the bracket 12. The blocking action of these multiple blocking columns 4 keeps the profiles aligned, facilitating subsequent transport.
[0038] When a certain amount of profiles are accumulated, they need to be transported by forklift. To facilitate this operation, a horizontal connecting beam 5 is fixedly connected between the blocking column 4 and the bracket 12. There are at least two connecting beams 5, and the distance between two adjacent connecting beams 5 is less than the length of a single profile, so that the profiles can be overlapped on the connecting beams 5. All the connecting beams 5 are higher than the ground, so that the fork of the forklift can move the profiles from under the connecting beams 5.
[0039] The blocking column 4 and the supporting beam 5 are both made of welded I-beams, which ensures the high strength of the blocking column 4 and the supporting beam 5.
[0040] A triangular plate 6 is connected between the bracket 12 and the receiving beam 5. The triangular plate 6 can keep the profile and the bracket 12 separated, making it easier to bundle. In other embodiments, the triangular plate 6 can also be set as a plate of other shapes, such as an arc plate, as long as it can separate the profile and the bracket 12.
[0041] In this embodiment, driven by the driving member 3 , the maximum flip angle of the outer frame 21 is 60°.
[0042] In other embodiments, to save manpower, a touch switch (not shown) is provided at the end of the outer frame 21. This touch switch is electrically connected to the cylinder to control the cylinder's operation. After the profile is transported to the conveyor rack 2, it gradually approaches the touch switch under the conveying action of the roller 22 until the end of the profile hits the touch switch. The touch switch then controls the cylinder to start, thereby driving the conveyor rack 2 to flip. Furthermore, to accommodate profiles of different lengths, the touch switch is not completely fixed to the outer frame 21. Its mounting position on the outer frame 21 is adjustable so that the distance between the touch switch and the end of the outer frame 21 can be adjusted (the touch switch can be fixed to a movable rod and the mounting position of the rod on the outer frame 21 can be changed). Thus, when transporting profiles of different lengths, the position of the touch switch is adjusted in advance so that after the profile reaches the position on the conveyor rack 2 corresponding to the blocking column 4, the profile will hit the touch switch, thereby achieving self-starting of the cylinder.
[0043] The operating principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: After the profile is transported to the conveyor frame 2, the driving member 3 drives the conveyor frame 2 to flip around the hinge axis, adjusting the angle to a suitable angle based on the size and weight of the profile. The profile then slides under the action of gravity between the blocking column 4 and the bracket 12 and is received by the receiving beam 5. The driving member 3 drives the conveyor frame 2 to flip back onto the outer frame 11 to continue transporting the profile.
[0044] After a certain amount of profiles are accumulated, a forklift is used to lift the profiles from under the receiving beam 5 and transport them.
[0045] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments that are not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
