Description

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of processing equipment, more particularly, to a separation profile device and a profile conveying system. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, in the aluminum pipe profile processing operation, after the aluminum profile is extruded and straightened, the mutual impact occurs due to the narrow space and the rolling of the profiles during the horizontal transmission, which causes the knock damage to the outer surface of the profile and reduces the yield of the profile. Meanwhile, the profile with knock damage needs to be detected and polished one by one, which increases the production cost.

[0003] In order to avoid the above-mentioned knock, the current common measure is that the workers enter the cooling table and bind a piece of felt on each profile before the aluminum profile is straightened to play the role of separating the aluminum profiles. However, this measure still has some deficiencies, for example, there are certain safety hazards for the workers to enter the cooling table to work, such as falling and scalding. In addition, the length of the aluminum profile is relatively long, and the length of the aluminum profile can reach 20-50 m, so the workers need to bind the aluminum profile at multiple positions, which consumes a long time and thus leads to low production efficiency.

Figure 1 A structure schematic diagram of a lifting mechanism of the separation profile device is shown. Figure 6 A structure schematic diagram of a lifting mechanism of the separation profile device is shown. Figure 1 A structure schematic diagram of a separation jig of the separation profile device is shown. As shown in Figures 1 to 6 A separation profile device provided by the present application includes a support frame 10, a lowering mechanism 20, a lifting mechanism 30, a circulating track group 40 and a separation jig 50.

[0037] The support frame 10 is provided with a lowering mechanism 20 and a lifting mechanism 30 at intervals. The support frame 10 provides support for the other components of the device, and the components can be integrated and installed on the support frame 10, so that the partition profile device can form an integral structure. The lowering mechanism 20 and the lifting mechanism 30 are both used to change the position of the partition fixture 50, thereby realizing the partition function of the partition fixture 50.

[0038] The circulating track assembly 40 is mounted on the support frame 10 and located between the lowering mechanism 20 and the lifting mechanism 30. The lowering mechanism 20, the circulating track assembly 40, and the lifting mechanism 30 form a circulating conveying channel.

[0039] The separating fixture 50 is set in the circulating conveying channel and can move along the circulating conveying channel; through the circulating track group 40 in conjunction with the lowering mechanism 20 and the lifting mechanism 30, the separating fixture 50 can be recycled, reducing costs and making it convenient and practical.

[0040] When the profile separating device is in use, the lowering mechanism 20 is used to drive the separating fixture 50 to extend into the gap between two adjacent profiles 60, the lifting mechanism 30 is used to drive the separating fixture 50 out of the gap, and the circulating track group 40 is used to circulate and transport the separating fixture 50 between the lowering mechanism 20 and the lifting mechanism 30.

[0041] Taking aluminum tube profile 60 as an example, the profile separating device is usually used in conjunction with the profile conveying device 80. The profile conveying device 80 transports the profile 60 in the following direction: Figure 1 The direction indicated by the dashed arrow, where the profile conveying device 80 transporting along arrow Y is not shown.

[0042] The profile conveying device 80 first transports the profile 60 to the lowering mechanism 20 along the direction of arrow Y. At this time, the lowering mechanism 20 picks up a separating fixture 50 from the storage area of ​​the circulating track group 40 and moves the separating fixture 50 downward so that the separating fixture 50 extends into the gap between two adjacent profiles 60, such as the gap between profile 60a and profile 60b.

[0043] Then, the profile conveying device 80 moves the profile 60 a certain distance along the direction indicated by the dashed arrow X. For example, the value of the moving distance is slightly greater than the value of the diameter of the profile 60. During the movement of the profile 60, the separating fixture 50 is separated from the lowering mechanism 20 under the drive of the profile 60 and reconnects to the circulating track group 40.

[0044] When the profile conveying device 80 moves a certain distance, that is, when the gap between profile 60a and profile 60b reaches a certain distance, the profile conveying device 80 temporarily stops conveying; at this time, the lowering mechanism 20 picks up a separating fixture 50 from the circulating track group 40 again, and drives the separating fixture 50 to move downward so that the separating fixture 50 extends into the gap between two adjacent profiles 60, for example, the separating fixture 50 extends into the gap between profile 60b and profile 60c.

[0045] Then, the profile conveying device 80 moves the profile 60 a certain distance along the direction indicated by the dotted arrow X. During the movement of the profile 60, the separating fixture 50, driven by the profile 60, separates from the lowering mechanism 20 and reconnects to the circulating track group 40. This action is repeated until the profiles 60 reach a preset number to form a group, such as 5, 6, ... N profiles 60.

[0046] Once the profiles 60 reach a preset quantity and form a group, the profile conveying device 80 continues to transport the group of profiles 60 along the direction indicated by the dotted arrow X to below the lifting mechanism 30. During the transport of this group of profiles 60, the separating fixtures 50 move along the circulating track group 40 under the drive of the profiles 60. When the profiles 60 are transported to below the lifting mechanism 30, multiple separating fixtures 50 gradually separate from the circulating track group 40 and connect to the lifting mechanism 30.

[0047] Then, the lifting mechanism 30 starts the lifting action to lift the multiple separating fixtures 50 used to separate the group of profiles 60, so that the separating fixtures 50 are separated from the gap between two adjacent profiles 60. After being lifted to a preset height, the lifting mechanism 30 will drive the separating fixtures 50 to reconnect with the circulating track group 40, so that the multiple separating fixtures 50 return to the storage area, such as the area on the right side of the circulating track group 40, for the next separation operation.

[0048] By employing the aforementioned profile separating device, adjacent profiles 60 can be isolated using the separating fixture 50, reducing collisions between profiles 60 during transportation and improving the yield rate of profiles 60. Simultaneously, the separating fixture 50 is recyclable, reducing costs and offering convenience and practicality. Furthermore, it reduces manual intervention, increasing production safety and efficiency.

[0049] Optionally, the support frame 10 includes a main frame 11 and a support cantilever 12; the main frame 11 is fixedly installed; one end of the support cantilever 12 is connected to the main frame 11, and the other end of the support cantilever 12 extends away from the main frame 11; the lifting mechanism 30, the circulating track assembly 40, and the lowering mechanism 20 are mounted on the support cantilever 12. The main frame 11 provides stable support for the entire device, and the support cantilever 12 provides connection points for other components of the device. Using the above-mentioned support frame 10 helps to achieve the stability and integrity of the overall structure.

[0050] The main frame 11 is made of, but is not limited to, C-shaped steel or H-shaped steel. Depending on the installation requirements, the main frame 11 can be directly fixed to the ground or a wall. To increase stability, reinforcing structures such as reinforcing ribs, reinforcing bars, and triangular support plates can be added at the fitting positions on the main frame 11.

[0051] The supporting cantilever 12 is made of, but is not limited to, C-shaped steel or H-shaped steel. Other components include, but are not limited to, a lifting mechanism 30, a circulating track assembly 40, and a lowering mechanism 20. The lifting mechanism 30, the circulating track assembly 40, and the lowering mechanism 20 can be integrated and installed on the supporting cantilever 12, so that the partition profile device can form an integral structure. The lifting mechanism 30, the circulating track assembly 40, and the lowering mechanism 20 can be directly installed on the supporting cantilever 12, or they can be connected to the supporting cantilever 12 through other adapters.

[0052] To enhance the connection stability of the supporting cantilever 12, the support frame 10 may optionally include a connecting rod 13. The supporting cantilever 12 is positioned at a first distance from the top of the main frame 11. One end of the connecting rod 13 is connected to the top of the main frame 11, and the other end is connected to the supporting cantilever 12. The connection point between the connecting rod 13 and the supporting cantilever 12 is positioned at a second distance from the main frame 11. The first distance is set to allow the connecting rod 13 to connect to the supporting cantilever 12 at an angle, thereby providing better tension to the supporting cantilever 12, effectively improving its strength and levelness, and enhancing its stability. The second distance can be set according to different needs; for example, it can be the distance from the middle of the supporting cantilever 12 to the main frame 11, or the distance from the end of the supporting cantilever 12 furthest from the main frame 11 to the main frame 11.

[0053] In addition, the number of connecting rods 13 can be set according to different needs, such as one or two. The connecting rods 13 can be connected to the main frame 11 and the support cantilever 12 using turnbuckles, which can effectively improve the stress strength of the support cantilever 12 and ensure that the support cantilever 12 remains horizontal.

[0054] To facilitate driving and achieve smooth operation, the lowering mechanism 20 may optionally include a lowering driver 21 and a pick-and-place component 22 driven by the lowering driver 21. The lowering driver 21 is mounted on the support frame 10. The lowering driver 21 may include, but is not limited to, a slide cylinder. The lowering driver 21 may be directly mounted on the support frame 10 or mounted on the support frame 10 via a connector. For example, the lowering driver 21 may be fixedly mounted on the support cantilever 12 via a connecting bracket. The lowering driver 21 can drive the pick-and-place component 22 to reciprocate. The lowering driver 21 can drive the pick-and-place component 22 to reciprocate between a first position and a second position, where the first position is higher than the second position. The first and second positions refer to the positions of the pick-and-place component 22 relative to the circulating track assembly 40.

[0055] In one embodiment of this application, the circulating track assembly 40 includes a storage track 41 and a follower track 42. The storage track 41 is positioned above the follower track 42, meaning the storage track 41 is at a higher position than the follower track 42. When the pick-and-place component 22 corresponds to the position of the storage track 41, the pick-and-place component 22 is in a first position; correspondingly, when the pick-and-place component 22 corresponds to the position of the follower track 42, the pick-and-place component 22 is in a second position. Figure 2 The image shows the pick-and-place component 22 in the second position.

[0056] In use, the lowering driver 21 drives the pick-and-place assembly 22 to move to the first position, and the separating fixture 50 moves out of the circulating track assembly 40 to connect with the pick-and-place assembly 22; for example, the separating fixture 50 moves out from the track outlet of the storage track 41 to connect with the pick-and-place assembly 22, the track outlet of the storage track 41 being the port area on the right side of the storage track 41. After the separating fixture 50 is connected with the pick-and-place assembly 22, the lowering driver 21 drives the pick-and-place assembly 22 to move from the first position to the second position, and the pick-and-place assembly 22 drives the separating fixture 50 to move synchronously to the second position, so that the separating fixture 50 extends into the gap between two adjacent profiles 60. Afterwards, the separating fixture 50 can be reconnected to the circulating track assembly 40 under the drive of the profiles 60; for example, the separating fixture 50 separates from the pick-and-place assembly 22 and moves into the track inlet of the follower track 42 to connect with the follower track 42 for subsequent operations. The track inlet of the follower track 42 is the port area on the right side of the follower track 42.

[0057] To achieve quick and accurate pick-and-place, the pick-and-place assembly 22 may optionally include a pick-and-place seat 221 and a stop 222 and a gripper 223 disposed on the pick-and-place seat 221. The pick-and-place seat 221 is driven to connect with the lowering driver 21 and has a pick-and-place groove 2211. The stop 222 is located on the side of the pick-and-place seat 221 near the first position. When the pick-and-place assembly 22 moves from the first position to the second position, the stop 222 is used to prevent the separating fixture 50 from moving off the circulating track assembly 40. The gripper 223 is located on the side of the pick-and-place seat 221 near the second position and forms a storage space with the pick-and-place groove 2211. When the pick-and-place assembly 22 is in the first position, the separating fixture 50 moves off the circulating track assembly 40 into the storage space, the pick-and-place seat 221 supports the separating fixture 50, and the gripper 223 clamps the separating fixture 50. In use, the lowering driver 21 drives the pick-and-place assembly 22 to move to the first position. At this time, the stop block 222 extends beyond the track outlet of the storage track 41, and the storage space corresponds to the position of the track outlet of the storage track 41. The separating fixture 50 moves out from the track outlet of the storage track 41 to connect with the storage space. The pick-and-place seat 221 supports the separating fixture 50, and the gripper 223 clamps the separating fixture 50 located in the storage space.

[0058] After the separating fixture 50 is connected to the pick-and-place assembly 22, the lowering driver 21 drives the pick-and-place assembly 22 to move from the first position to the second position. The pick-and-place assembly 22 drives the separating fixture 50 to move synchronously to the second position. During the movement, the stop block 222 moves downward synchronously, gradually covering the track outlet of the storage track 41 to prevent other separating fixtures 50 from moving out of the circulating track group 40. After the separating fixture 50 that has moved out and moved with the pick-and-place assembly 22 extends into the gap between two adjacent profiles 60, the separating fixture 50 can be separated from the pick-and-place assembly 22 and moved into the track entrance of the follower track 42 under the drive of the profile 60 to perform subsequent operations.

[0059] Optionally, the pick-and-place base 221 includes an intersecting vertical plate 2212 and a horizontal plate 2213, forming an L-shaped structure. The vertical plate 2212 is driven to connect with the lowering driver 21, and a stop block 222 is disposed on the vertical plate 2212. The horizontal plate 2213 has a pick-and-place groove 2211 at one end facing the circulating track assembly 40, and a gripper 223 is disposed on the horizontal plate 2213 and / or the vertical plate 2212. The pick-and-place base 221 is connected to the lowering driver 21 through the vertical plate 2212, which can effectively increase the connection area and thus increase the connection stability. By setting the pick-and-place groove 2211 on the horizontal plate 2213, the horizontal plate 2213 supports the separating fixture 50, making the connection between the separating fixture 50 and the pick-and-place base 221 more stable, thereby better driving the separating fixture 50 to move stably.

[0060] By mounting the stop block 222 on the vertical plate 2212, the stop block 222 can avoid the storage space, reducing interference between the stop block 222 and the partition fixture 50 within the storage space. The gripper 223 can be mounted on the horizontal plate 2213 or the vertical plate 2212, or connected to both the vertical and horizontal plates 2213, depending on different requirements. Furthermore, to make the connection of the gripper 223 more stable, a mounting groove is provided at the connection between the vertical plate 2212 and the horizontal plate 2213, and the gripper 223 is mounted within the mounting groove.

[0061] Optionally, the lifting mechanism 30 includes a lifting driver 31 and a lifting rail 32 connected to the lifting driver 31. The lifting driver 31 is mounted on the support frame 10. The lifting driver 31 can also be referred to as a vertical cylinder, used to cooperate with the lifting rail 32 to transport the separating fixture 50 between the follower rail 42 and the storage rail 41. The lifting driver 31 may include, but is not limited to, a slide cylinder. The lifting driver 31 may be directly mounted on the support frame 10 or mounted on the support frame 10 via a connector. If the lifting driver 31 is directly fixed to the support cantilever 12, the lifting driver 31 can drive the lifting rail 32 to reciprocate.

[0062] The lifting driver 31 can drive the lifting track 32 to reciprocate between a third position and a fourth position, with the fourth position being higher than the third position. The third and fourth positions refer to the positions of the lifting track 32 relative to the circulating track assembly 40. When the lifting track 32 corresponds to the position of the follower track 42, it is in the third position; correspondingly, when the lifting track 32 corresponds to the position of the storage track 41, it is in the fourth position. Figure 4 The image shows the lifting track 32 in the fourth position.

[0063] In use, the lifting driver 31 drives the lifting rail 32 to move to the third position, and the separating fixture 50 moves out of the circulating rail assembly 40 and connects with the lifting rail 32; for example, the separating fixture 50 moves out from the rail outlet of the follower rail 42 and connects with the lifting rail 32, the rail outlet of the follower rail 42 being the port area on the left side of the follower rail 42. After the separating fixture 50 is connected to the lifting rail 32, the lifting driver 31 drives the lifting rail 32 to move from the third position to the fourth position, and the lifting rail 32 drives the separating fixture 50 to move synchronously to the fourth position, so that the separating fixture 50 is disengaged from the gap between two adjacent profiles 60. Afterwards, the separating fixture 50 can be separated from the lifting rail 32 and reconnected to the circulating rail assembly 40, for example, the separating fixture 50 moves from the rail inlet of the storage rail 41 after separating from the lifting rail 32 and connects with the storage rail 41 to perform subsequent operations. The rail inlet of the storage rail 41 is the port area on the left side of the storage rail 41.

[0064] Optionally, the lifting mechanism 30 further includes a push driver 33 and a push plate 34 driven by the push driver 33; the push driver 33 is mounted on the support frame 10; the push driver 33 can also be referred to as a transverse cylinder, used to cooperate with the push plate 34 to push the separator 50 from the lifting track 32 to the storage track 41. The push driver 33 may include, but is not limited to, a slide cylinder, and the push driver 33 may be directly mounted on the support frame 10 or mounted on the support frame 10 via a connector. If the push driver 33 is fixedly mounted on the support cantilever 12 by a connecting bracket, the push driver 33 can drive the push plate 34 to reciprocate.

[0065] When in use, when the lifting driver 31 drives the lifting track 32 to move to the fourth position, the push driver 33 drives the push plate 34 to move along the extension direction of the lifting track 32, so that the push plate 34 pushes the separating fixture 50 on the lifting track 32 to move off the lifting track 32 and connect with the circulating track group 40.

[0066] Optionally, the circulating track assembly 40 includes a storage track 41 and a follower track 42; the storage track 41 and the follower track 42 are spaced apart on the support frame 10 by vertical connecting rods 43, with the storage track 41 located above the follower track 42; the storage track 41 is inclined, and the height of the end of the storage track 41 near the lifting mechanism 30 is greater than the height of the end of the storage track 41 near the lowering mechanism 20. The circulating track assembly 40 is used to transport the separating fixture 50 between the lowering mechanism 20 and the lifting mechanism 30, wherein the storage track 41 can also be referred to as the upper track, and the follower track 42 can also be referred to as the lower track. The follower track 42 can be horizontally arranged.

[0067] In use, the lowering driver 21 drives the pick-and-place assembly 22 to move to the first position, that is, the storage space of the pick-and-place assembly 22 of the lowering mechanism 20 corresponds to the track exit position of the storage track 41. At this time, based on the inclined setting of the storage track 41, the separating fixture 50 can move out of the track exit of the storage track 41 by gravity to connect with the pick-and-place assembly 22. After the separating fixture 50 is connected with the pick-and-place assembly 22, the lowering driver 21 drives the pick-and-place assembly 22 to move from the first position to the second position. The pick-and-place assembly 22 drives the separating fixture 50 to move synchronously to the second position, so that the separating fixture 50 extends into the gap between two adjacent profiles 60. Afterwards, the separating fixture 50 can be separated from the pick-and-place assembly 22 under the drive of the profiles 60, enter through the track inlet of the follower track 42 and connect with the follower track 42, and can subsequently move along the follower track 42 under the drive of the profiles 60.

[0068] When the separating fixture 50 moves with the profile 60 to the track outlet of the follower track 42, the lifting track 32 of the lifting mechanism 30 is in the third position, and the separating fixture 50 can move out from the track outlet of the follower track 42 to connect with the lifting track 32. Then, the lifting driver 31 drives the lifting track 32 from the third position to the fourth position, and the lifting track 32 drives the separating fixture 50 to move synchronously to the fourth position, so that the separating fixture 50 is disengaged from the gap between two adjacent profiles 60. When the lifting driver 31 drives the lifting track 32 to the fourth position, the push driver 33 drives the push plate 34 to move along the extension direction of the lifting track 32, so that the push plate 34 pushes the separating fixture 50 on the lifting track 32 out from the lifting track 32 and into the storage track 41 for connection.

[0069] Based on the inclined arrangement of the storage track 41, the separating fixture 50 can enter the storage track 41 from the track entrance under gravity and move along the storage track 41 until it reaches the storage area of ​​the storage track 41 for the next separating operation. The storage area of ​​the storage track 41 can store multiple separating fixtures 50, such as 25-30, to meet the isolation requirements of multiple profiles 60.

[0070] By using the tilted storage track 41, many actions of the device can be completed without the system providing additional power. For example, the partition fixture 50 slides down freely with the help of gravity, making the overall operation of the device extremely energy-efficient.

[0071] In one embodiment of this application, the storage track 41 includes an inverted U-shaped track body 411 and a support plate 412 disposed opposite to the opening of the U-shaped structure. The track body 411 and the support plate 412 enclose a track groove 413, the cross-sectional profile of which is an inverted convex structure. A separating fixture 50 can extend partly into the track groove 413 and partly outside the track groove 413. Based on the portion extending into the track groove 413, the separating fixture 50 can move along the extending direction of the track groove 413 to complete the transport of the separating fixture 50 between the storage track 41, the follower track 42, and the lifting mechanism 30. Based on the portion located outside the track groove 413, the separating fixture 50 can extend into the gap between two adjacent profiles 60 under the drive of the lowering mechanism 20 to complete the separating operation.

[0072] In one embodiment of this application, the implementation methods of storage track 41, follower track 42 and lifting track 32 are basically the same and can be referenced and learned from each other. Therefore, the implementation methods of follower track 42 and lifting track 32 will not be described in detail here, and this should not be regarded as an improper limitation of the embodiments of this application.

[0073] To ensure that the separating fixtures 50 enter the storage track 41 more accurately from the lifting track 32, in one embodiment of this application, the circulating track assembly 40 further includes a guide baffle 44. The two ends of the guide baffle 44 are connected to the end of the storage track 41 near the lifting mechanism 30 and the end of the follower track 42 near the lifting mechanism 30, respectively. The guide baffle 44 has guide through holes 441 that are adapted to the outer contour of the separating fixtures 50. When the lifting track 32 lifts multiple separating fixtures 50, the separating fixtures 50 may shake, easily causing jamming or blockage. The guide baffle 44 can guide the multiple separating fixtures 50, allowing them to enter the storage track 41 with a more accurate posture, thus entering the storage area of ​​the storage track 41 more accurately and smoothly for the next separating operation.

[0074] In one embodiment of this application, the separating fixture 50 includes a body segment 51 and a separating segment 52; one end of the body segment 51 is connected to the separating segment 52, and the other end of the body segment 51 is provided with a rolling wheel 53; of the body segment 51 and the separating segment 52, at least the separating segment 52 is a sheet-like structure. The separating fixture 50 is made of, but is not limited to, nylon material. The separating fixture 50 extends into the track groove 413 through the body segment 51 and the rolling wheel 53 thereon. Based on the inclined setting of the storage track 41, the separating fixture 50 can roll from the track entrance of the storage track 41 to the storage area of ​​the storage track 41. In the follower track 42, the separating fixture 50 slides along the extension direction of the follower track 42 under the drive of the profile 60. There is rolling friction between the follower track 42 and the separating fixture 50, which reduces the overall energy consumption of the device. A portion of the main body section 51 and the dividing section 52 are located outside the track groove 413. The dividing jig 50 can be inserted into the gap between two adjacent profiles 60 by the lowering mechanism 20 through the dividing section 52 to complete the dividing operation.

[0075] Figure 7 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a separator profile device equipped with a protective cover. Figure 7 As shown, the partition profile device also includes a protective cover 70.

[0076] To further improve operational safety, in one embodiment of this application, the separating profile device further includes a protective cover 70, with at least the outer periphery of the support frame 10 covered by the protective cover 70. By providing the protective cover 70, it is possible to effectively prevent workers' hands or other body parts from entering the working area of ​​the device, thus avoiding injury to workers. The protective cover 70 includes, but is not limited to, transparent tempered glass, acrylic sheets, etc.

[0077] To better achieve automation, in one embodiment of this application, the profile separating device further includes a central control unit; the central control unit is communicatively connected to the lowering mechanism 20 and the lifting mechanism 30 respectively, to control the actions of the lowering mechanism 20 and the lifting mechanism 30. The central control unit enables remote or automatic control of the device's operation, reducing manual intervention, increasing production safety, and improving production efficiency.

[0078] This application also provides a profile conveying system, including: the profile separating device, the profile conveying device 80, and the detection device 90 as described above. The implementation of the profile separating device can be referred to or borrowed from the implementation of the profile separating device in the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0079] The profile conveying device 80 includes, but is not limited to, a conveyor belt, a drive roller, etc. The profile conveying device 80 can convey the profile 60 along the extension direction of the circulating track group 40; the detection device 90 includes, but is not limited to, a photoelectric detector. The detection device 90 is set in the corresponding area where the lowering mechanism 20 is located and is communicatively connected to the profile separating device; wherein, when the detection device 90 detects that a profile 60 is conveyed by the profile conveying device 80 to the lowering mechanism 20, it controls the profile separating device to perform corresponding actions.

[0080] The above-mentioned profile conveying system can be used to separate products of various shapes. Moreover, the completion of many actions does not require additional power from the system. For example, the separating fixture slides freely with the help of gravity. The sliding friction of the profile is much greater than the rolling friction of the separating fixture. Therefore, the profile can drive the separating fixture to move along with it when it is conveyed. As a result, the overall energy consumption of the device is extremely low.

[0081] The following section further describes the usage process of the profile conveying system.

[0082] Taking the aluminum tube profile 60 as an example, the profile conveying device 80 first transports the profile 60 to the lowering mechanism 20 along the direction of arrow Y. The detection device 90 detects the incoming material signal and transmits the incoming material signal to the central control unit of the separating profile device.

[0083] The central control unit controls the lowering driver 21 to drive the pick-and-place component 22 to move to the first position, that is, the storage space of the pick-and-place component 22 of the lowering mechanism 20 corresponds to the track exit position of the storage track 41. At this time, based on the inclined setting of the storage track 41, the separating fixture 50 can move out from the track exit of the storage track 41 to connect with the pick-and-place component 22 by gravity.

[0084] After the separating fixture 50 is connected to the pick-and-place assembly 22, the lowering driver 21 drives the pick-and-place assembly 22 to move from the first position to the second position. The pick-and-place assembly 22 then moves the separating fixture 50 synchronously to the second position, so that the separating fixture 50 extends into the gap between two adjacent profiles 60. For example, the separating fixture 50 extends into the gap between profile 60a and profile 60b.

[0085] Then, the profile conveying device 80 moves the profile 60 a certain distance along the direction indicated by the dashed arrow X. For example, the value of the moving distance is slightly greater than the value of the diameter of the profile 60. During the movement of the profile 60, the separating fixture 50 is separated from the pick-and-place component 22 under the drive of the profile 60, enters the track entrance of the follower track 42 and connects to the follower track 42, and can subsequently move along the follower track 42 under the drive of the profile 60.

[0086] When the profile conveying device 80 moves a certain distance, the profile conveying device 80 temporarily stops conveying. At this time, the lowering mechanism 20 picks up a separating fixture 50 from the storage track 41 again and drives the separating fixture 50 to move downward so that the separating fixture 50 extends into the gap between two adjacent profiles 60, such as the gap between profile 60b and profile 60c.

[0087] Then, the profile conveying device 80 moves the profile 60 a certain distance along the direction indicated by the dotted arrow X. During the movement of the profile 60, the separating fixture 50, driven by the profile 60, separates from the lowering mechanism 20 and reconnects to the follower track 42. This action is repeated until the profiles 60 reach a preset number to form a group, such as 5, 6, ... N profiles 60.

[0088] Once the profiles 60 reach a preset quantity and form a group, the profile conveying device 80 continues to transport the group of profiles 60 along the direction indicated by the dotted arrow X to below the lifting mechanism 30. During the transport of the profiles 60, the separating fixture 50 moves along the follower track 42 under the drive of the profiles 60.

[0089] When the separating fixture 50 moves with the profile 60 to the track outlet of the follower track 42, the lifting track 32 of the lifting mechanism 30 is in the third position, and the separating fixture 50 can move out from the track outlet of the follower track 42 to connect with the lifting track 32. Then, the lifting driver 31 drives the lifting track 32 from the third position to the fourth position, and the lifting track 32 drives the separating fixture 50 to move synchronously to the fourth position, so that the separating fixture 50 is disengaged from the gap between two adjacent profiles 60. When the lifting driver 31 drives the lifting track 32 to the fourth position, the push driver 33 drives the push plate 34 to move along the extension direction of the lifting track 32, so that the push plate 34 pushes the separating fixture 50 on the lifting track 32 out from the lifting track 32 and into the storage track 41 for connection.

[0090] Subsequently, based on the inclined setting of the storage track 41, the separation fixture 50 can enter the storage track 41 from the track entrance of the storage track 41 by gravity and move along the storage track 41 until the separation fixture 50 moves to the storage area of ​​the storage track 41 to carry out the next separation operation.

[0091] As can be seen from the above description and practice, the technical solution provided in this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art: Using the above-mentioned profile separating device, adjacent profiles 60 can be isolated by the separating fixture 50, reducing collisions between profiles 60 during transportation and improving the yield of profiles 60. At the same time, the separating fixture 50 is recyclable, reducing costs and being convenient and practical. Furthermore, it can reduce manual intervention, increase production safety, and improve production efficiency.

[0092] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the scope of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
