The sprockets 5 on one side are all connected to a first connecting rod 8. A second motor 21 is mounted on the outer end of one of the sprocket seats on one side of the first connecting rod 8. The output shaft of the second motor 21 is connected to the first connecting rod 8. The first connecting rod 8 is driven to rotate by the second motor 21, which in turn drives the sprocket 5 connected to the first connecting rod 8 to rotate. The plate 4 is provided with a discharge guide plate 23 on the side of the high end of the inclined frame 2 to facilitate discharge guidance after the two C-shaped steels are fastened together. The sprocket 5 seat at the low end of the inclined frame 2 is provided with a protective shell 24 to ensure the safety of the feeding side and prevent contact with the sprocket 5 on the feeding side. The low end of the inclined frame 2 is the feeding side. Several fixing feet 25 are provided at the bottom of the support frame 1 to facilitate the fixing of the support frame 1.

[0029] The flip-button drive mechanism includes a first motor 9 and a bidirectional shaft reducer 10. The first motor 9 is connected to the input end of the bidirectional shaft reducer 10. The bidirectional shaft reducer 10 is disposed on the upper surface of the inclined frame 2. The output shaft of the bidirectional shaft reducer 10 faces both ends and is connected to the second connecting rod 11 respectively. The first connecting rod 8 and the second connecting rod 11 are respectively formed by splicing several connecting rods together through couplings.

[0030] Several flip-lock mechanisms are provided, all located on the upper surface of the inclined frame 2. Each flip-lock mechanism includes a bracket 12, a bearing seat 13, a long swing arm 14, a short swing arm 15, a flipping plate 16, and a support 17. A bearing seat 13 is located on one side of the bracket 12, and a second connecting rod 11 engages with the bearing seat 13. A short swing arm 15 is connected to the side of the bracket 12 near the bearing seat 13 via a rotating shaft. One end of the long swing arm 14 is connected to the second connecting rod 11 via a key. Two connecting blocks 18, not on the same axis, are located at one end of the flipping plate 16. The end of the long swing arm 14 away from the second connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to one of the connecting blocks 18 via a rotating shaft. The end of the short swing arm 15 away from the bracket 12 is rotatably connected to the other connecting block 18 via a rotating shaft. Block 18 is rotatably connected. The flip plate 16 has a through slot. A thin cylinder 19 is provided on the lower surface of the flip plate 16. A magnet 20 is provided on the piston rod of the thin cylinder 19. The piston rod and magnet 20 of the thin cylinder 19 pass through the through slot of the flip plate 16. The support 17 is provided on the upper surface of the inclined frame 2. The flip plate 16 is supported on the upper surface of the support 17. Proximity sensors 22 are provided on both sides of the support 17. The position of each C-shaped steel is determined by the proximity sensors 22. The distance between two upright plates 7 is matched with the distance from the flip plate 16 to the support 12 to ensure that when one C-shaped steel reaches the support 12, the next C-shaped steel is exactly on the flip plate 16.

[0031] Working method and operating principle: Start the second motor 21, which drives the first connecting rod 8 to rotate, thereby driving the sprocket 5 to rotate, and then driving the chain 6 to rotate. Place two C-shaped steel bars with their openings facing upwards on the chain 6. The two C-shaped steel bars are driven forward by the front and rear upright plates 7 respectively. When the first C-shaped steel bar moves to the support 12, the second C-shaped steel bar is exactly at the position of the flipping plate 16. At this time, the piston rod of the thin cylinder 19 extends outwards and is attracted to the second C-shaped steel bar by the magnet 20. The first motor 9 is started, and the first motor 9 drives the second connecting rod 11 to rotate through the bidirectional shaft reducer 10. When the second connecting rod 11 rotates, it drives the long swing arm 14 to rotate around the second connecting rod 11, thereby causing the flipping plate 16 to rotate around the second connecting rod 11. At this time, the short swing arm 15 rotates around the pivot connected to the support 17. Through the cooperation of the different centers and radii of the long swing arm 14 and the short swing arm 15, when the flipping plate 16 rotates around the second connecting rod 11, through the trajectory of the short swing arm 15, the flipping plate 16 itself also flips around the pivot connected to the short swing arm 15, thereby inverting the second C-shaped steel, retracting the piston rod of the thin cylinder 19, and disengaging the magnet 20 from the C-shaped steel. The C-shaped steel falls on the first C-shaped steel, completing the snapping of the two C-shaped steels. This utility model has a reasonable structure. The C-shaped steel is moved forward by the chain 6 and the upright plate 7 on the chain 6. When the first C-shaped steel is located at the support 12 and the next C-shaped steel is located at the flipping plate 16, the long swing arm 14 cooperates with the first connecting rod 8. During the rotation of the flipping plate 16 around the first connecting rod 8, the short swing arm 15 cooperates to make the flipping plate 16 itself flip as well, thereby realizing the snapping of the two C-shaped steel. No manual intervention is required in the process, greatly reducing labor costs and greatly improving efficiency. Moreover, the structure of the long swing arm 14 and the short swing arm 15 is simpler and has a lower cost than the gear drive structure. The structure of using a thin cylinder 19 to install a magnet 20 and cooperate with the flipping plate does not require electricity, and the operating cost is even lower.

[0032] Any aspects of this utility model not described in detail are well-known technologies to those skilled in the art.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications and equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
