At the same time, the sliding block 226 on the connecting plate 223 slides in the slide groove 213, ensuring that the sliding structure 22 maintains a stable motion trajectory during the translation process, and the drag chain 221 moves with the movement of the connecting member 222 to protect the internal cable from wear.

[0037] See also Figure 3 As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: a telescopic dust cover 214 is provided on the fixed plate 211, and the telescopic dust cover 214 is detachably connected to the connecting plate 223 to prevent external dust, debris and other impurities from entering the area between the sliding structure 22 and the fixed plate 211, thereby protecting the internal moving parts (such as the gear 225, the sliding block 226, etc.) from pollution and wear, and extending the service life of the sliding structure 22 and related moving parts; when the sliding structure 22 moves along the slide 213 under the drive of the drive motor 224, the telescopic dust cover 214 can be retracted accordingly to maintain closed protection of the moving area, so that it can adapt to the moving trajectory and speed changes of the sliding structure 22.

In conjunction with the sliding structure 22, it can move the lifting structure 23 and the load in the horizontal direction, achieving a more complex motion trajectory.

[0039] See also Figure 7 As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: the material clamping structure 3 includes a connecting rod 31, a clamping rod 32, and a material clamping member 33. The connecting rod 31 is fixedly connected to the lifting structure 23, one end of the clamping rod 32 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 31, and the material clamping member 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the clamping rod 32 away from the connecting rod 31. When the lifting structure 23 rises or falls, the connecting rod 31 moves accordingly. The movement of the connecting rod 31 is transmitted to the material clamping member 33 through the clamping rod 32, causing the material clamping member 33 to move up and down in the vertical direction. After the material clamping member 33 clamps the profile group 4, the lifting structure 23 and the sliding structure 22 work together to transfer the profile group 4.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: A plurality of clamping rods 32 are provided, each uniformly and equidistantly arranged on the connecting rod 31. This ensures uniform distribution of the clamping force, helps maintain the balance and stability of the clamping structure 3, and avoids unnecessary vibration or tilting when clamping and moving materials. The number of clamping rods 32 is determined based on the specific length of the profile and can be adjusted to meet different needs.

[0041] See also Figure 8 As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: the material clamping member 33 includes a first clamping plate 331, a second clamping plate 332, and a top plate 333. One end of the first clamping plate 331 is fixedly connected to the lifting structure 23, and the end of the first clamping plate 331 away from the lifting structure 23 is fixedly connected to the top plate 333. One end of the second clamping plate 332 is fixedly connected to the lifting structure 23, and the end of the second clamping plate 332 away from the lifting structure 23 is fixedly connected to the top plate 333. When clamping, the first clamping plate 331 and the second clamping plate 332 are connected by the top plate 333 to form a stable clamping structure, and the top plate 333 is used to support the material.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: the distance between the end of the first clamping plate 331 away from the lifting structure 23 and the end of the second clamping plate 332 away from the lifting structure 23 is gradually reduced, which is used to guide the discharge rod 41 into the clamping member 33 and ensure that the discharge rod 41 can stay stably on the top plate 333 during the clamping process.

[0043] See also Figure 9-10 The present embodiment further provides a profile production line, comprising a profile group 4, a conveying mechanism 5, and a profile moving device as described above, wherein the profile moving device is used to transfer the profile group 4 to the conveying mechanism 5. The profile group 4 comprises a discharge rod 41 and a plurality of aluminum profiles 42, each aluminum profile 42 being placed on the discharge rod 41, ensuring that each aluminum profile 42 is stably placed on the corresponding discharge rod 41, and the number of discharge rods 41 is set according to the length of the aluminum profile 42. In the present embodiment, each profile group 4 has twelve aluminum profiles 42 and five discharge rods 41, and five clamping rods 32 are correspondingly provided. The positions of the discharge rods 41 and the clamping rods 32 are correspondingly provided. By controlling the moving mechanism 2, the two ends of each discharge rod 41 are inserted into the corresponding clamping member 33, and then the aluminum profile 42 is transferred to the conveying mechanism 5 to be continuously conveyed to the next process or position for further processing.

[0044] The working principle of the profile moving device of this embodiment is as follows: when it is necessary to clamp the profile group 4, the driving motor 224 is started, and the gear 225 is driven to rotate through the output end. The gear 225 engages with the rack 212 on the fixed plate 211, converting the rotational motion into a linear translational motion, driving the connecting plate 223 to move left and right. The sliding block 226 on the connecting plate 223 slides in the slide groove 213, ensuring that the sliding structure 22 maintains a stable motion trajectory during the translation process; when the sliding structure 22 moves to the predetermined position, the lifting motor 231 is started, and the lifting motor 231 transmits power by driving the lifting rod 232, causing the lifting plate 233 to descend in the vertical direction. When the position of the clamping member 33 corresponds to the profile group 4, the sliding mechanism is controlled to move in the direction close to the profile, so that the clamping member 33 is mounted on the discharge rod 41. After clamping the profile group 4, the lifting structure 23 and the sliding structure 22 work together to move the profile group 4 toward the conveying mechanism 5. When the profile group 4 is moved to a predetermined position, the moving mechanism 2 is controlled to release the profile group 4 , so that the aluminum profiles 42 fall onto the conveying mechanism 5 .

[0045] The profile moving device of this embodiment has a reasonable structural design and is easy to use. This structure can also be used for other equipment with similar usage requirements. In this embodiment, the profile moving device can significantly improve the handling efficiency and quality of the aluminum profile 42, ensure stability during the movement process, reduce the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty of the equipment, and provide strong support for the subsequent processing procedures of the aluminum profile 42.
