Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] In the field of curtain wall column processing, traditional profile processing equipment typically relies on manual or semi-automated methods for material loading.

Manual handling of profiles requires frequent start-ups and shutdowns, and the amount of material loaded at one time is limited, resulting in poor processing continuity and low production efficiency. 2. The need for manual handling of profiles (especially large or heavy profiles) increases operational risks and easily leads to workplace accidents. 3. Manual material loading relies on experience-based judgment; profile deviations may cause dimensional errors in processing, insufficient positioning accuracy, and affect product quality.

[0032] After the conveying module transports the profile to the guide table 5, the guide table 5 positions the profile. The gripper structure of the motion gripper assembly 4 clamps and fixes the profile on the guide table 5. The motion module of the motion gripper assembly 4 then pushes the profile to move in an oriented and quantitative manner on the guide table 5, transporting the profile to the designated location and achieving quantitative feeding. In this structure, by realizing automatic feeding and automatic material loading of the profile, continuous and stable feeding can be formed, improving production efficiency and positioning accuracy, reducing labor intensity, and reducing the risk of work-related injuries.

[0034] The second conveyor line 6 consists of multiple parallel conveyor lines connected by a synchronous shaft driven by a motor to achieve synchronous movement. The profile is first conveyed into the second conveyor line 6 through the conveyor module, and then the second conveyor line 6 sends the profile into the profile flipping mechanism 3. The profile flipping mechanism 3 flips the profile ninety degrees and places it on the guide table 5.
[0035] The profile is flipped by the profile flipping mechanism 3, so that the profile is flipped from lying flat to standing upright, which makes it convenient for the subsequent processing mechanism to process the corresponding surface.

[0040] After the profile flipping mechanism 3 flips the profile and conveys it above the guide support roller 501, the lifting cylinder 7 is activated, causing the guide support roller 501 to move upward, pushing the profile on the profile flipping mechanism 3 upward and away from the profile flipping mechanism 3.
