Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0037] The frame 1 is provided with a baffle 5 and a push plate 6 arranged opposite to each other, and the distance between the baffle 5 and the push plate 6 forms a temporary storage gap (not shown in the figure); the baffle 5 is raised and lowered by a lifting mechanism 51, and the push plate 6 pushes the fins onto the collection platform 2 by a driving mechanism 61.

[0038] Two adjustable-spacing limiting plates 4 are symmetrically arranged on the conveying module 3. The spacing between the two limiting plates forms a limiting channel 43, which is connected to the temporary storage gap.

[0039] The limiting channel 43 is provided with a position-adjustable connector 8; the connector 8 is used to flip the fins and cooperate with the limiting plate 4 so that the conveying module 3 conveys the fins in a vertical posture to the temporary storage gap for temporary storage.

Then, the lifting mechanism 51 drives the baffle 5 to move downward, and the driving mechanism 61 drives the push plate 6 to push the fins in the temporary storage gap onto the collection platform 2. Then the push plate 6 is reset, and the baffle 5 is driven upward to reset by the lifting mechanism 51. The above actions are repeated to stack the fins on the collection platform 2.
