The top surface of the placing beam extends in the longitudinal direction, and the two placing beams can support the transverse sides of the corner column 1, respectively. The two placing beams can form one or more than two storage stations 311.
[0065] The V-shaped placing rack 313 has a V-shaped groove with an opening facing upward. Specifically, the V-shaped groove extends in the transverse direction or is transversely through, so that the corner column 1 can be placed in the V-shaped groove. The V-shaped placing rack 313 can include two V-shaped material supporting racks arranged in the transverse direction, and the two V-shaped material supporting racks can support the transverse sides of the corner column 1, respectively.

[0076] The longitudinal positioning and the transverse positioning of the movable frame 43 relative to the conveying base frame 32 can be achieved by one or more of linear guide sliding blocks, limiting clamps, guide rollers, etc.
[0077] In this embodiment, the movable frame 43 has a frame structure. Specifically, the movable frame 43 includes two longitudinal beams 431 arranged in the transverse direction and two transverse beams 432 arranged in the longitudinal direction, and the two longitudinal beams 431 and the two transverse beams 432 form the frame structure of the movable frame 43.
