[0119] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the material picking structure 2 of this embodiment includes a material picking linear power member 21, a first vacuum adsorption component 22 and a positioning frame 23. The material picking linear power member 21 is arranged on the frame 1 and faces the first placement area 110. The first vacuum adsorption component 22 is used for vacuum adsorption of the box 100 and is arranged at the output end of the material picking linear power member 21. The material picking linear power member 21 can drive the first vacuum adsorption component 22 to move toward or away from the first placement area 110. A positioning groove 230 is defined in the positioning frame 23. The box 100 can be naturally unfolded and the bottom long side 1003 is flipped inward 90° when the material picking linear power member 21 drives the first vacuum adsorption component 22 to drive the box 100 to move in the positioning groove 230.

The material-picking cylinder can drive the first vacuum adsorption component 22 to move along the width direction of the frame 1, so that the first vacuum adsorption component 22 can contact the box 100, thereby adsorbing the box 100. As the material-picking linear power member 21 drives the box 100 to move toward the direction close to the positioning frame 23 through the first vacuum adsorption component 22, since the width of the box 100 when folded is greater than the width of the positioning groove 230, the box 100 is naturally unfolded. As the box 100 continues to move toward the inside of the positioning groove 230, the bottom long side 1003 of the box 100 is squeezed by the bottom side of the positioning frame 23 and folded inward, so that the bottom long side 1003 of the box 100 is flipped inward by 90°. In other embodiments, the material picking linear power member 21 may also be a linear drive member such as an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., which is selected according to the actual needs of the user.

[0121] Specifically, the number of the bottom short side folding structures 31 in this embodiment is two. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each bottom short side folding structure 31 includes a bottom linear motion component 311, a transmission component and a flip component. The bottom linear motion component 311 is arranged on the frame 1 and includes two bottom linear motion cylinders and two bottom linear output shafts. Each bottom linear output shaft is connected to the output end of a bottom linear motion cylinder respectively. The two bottom linear output shafts can move in opposite directions at the same time. The transmission component includes two second transmission units 312 corresponding to the two bottom linear output shafts. Figure 5 As shown, each second transmission unit 312 includes a meshed second rack 3121 and a second gear 3122, the second rack 3121 is arranged at the output end of the bottom linear output shaft, and the two second gears 3122 of the transmission assembly can rotate in opposite directions with the two bottom linear output shafts at the same time, such as Figure 5 As shown, the flip assembly includes two flip members 313 corresponding to the two second transmission units 312, and the flip members 313 are arranged on the second gear 3122. The two flip members 313 of the flip assembly can flip toward the inside of the box body 1001 along with the second gear 3122 so that the two bottom short sides 1002 of the same box 100 are folded inward by 90°.

[0122] Furthermore, when folding the two bottom short sides 1002 of the box 100, by controlling the output ends of the two bottom linear motion assemblies 311 to move in opposite directions, the movement directions of the two second racks 3121 of the two second transmission units 312 are opposite, and then the rotation directions of the two second gears 3122 and the two flipping assemblies are opposite, and finally the two bottom short sides 1002 of a box 100 are folded 90° in a direction close to each other, thereby realizing the folding of the two bottom short sides 1002 of the box 100.

[0123] It should be noted that if Figure 5 As shown, each flip member 313 of the present embodiment includes a flip shaft 3131 and a flip plate 3132. One end of the flip shaft 3131 is fixed on the second gear 3122, and the other end of the flip shaft 3131 is fixedly provided with a flip plate 3132. When the flip shaft 3131 rotates, it can drive the flip plate 3132 to rotate, so that the flip plate 3132 drives the bottom short side 1002 to flip.

[0125] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the frame 1 of this embodiment is further provided with a stop bar 8, which can prevent the box 100 from moving with the positioning frame 23 when the positioning frame 23 is separated from the box 100. The first preset direction of this embodiment is the width direction of the frame 1, and the second preset direction is the length direction of the frame 1.

[0126] The positioning frame 23 of this embodiment defines four positioning slots 230. The first linear power assembly 71 and the second linear power assembly 72 enable the positioning frame 23 to drive the box 100 to move from the bottom short side folding structure 31 to the bottom cover folding structure 32, and also enable the positioning frame 23 to reset to the initial position. The specific steps for resetting the positioning frame 23 are as follows:

[0127] The first linear power assembly 71 drives the second linear power assembly 72 and the positioning frame 23 to move along the width direction of the frame 1, so that the positioning frame 23 is separated from the box 100;

[0128] The second linear power assembly 72 drives the positioning frame 23 to move along the length direction of the frame 1 until the positioning frame 23 faces the initial position;

[0129] The first linear power assembly 71 drives the second linear power assembly 72 and the positioning frame 23 to move along the width direction of the frame 1 , so that the positioning frame 23 is reset to the initial position.

The guide folding member 321 is a guide rod, and the end of the guide rod close to the material picking structure 2 is bent outward, so that the bottom cover 1004 of the box 100 can be squeezed by the guide rod so that the bottom cover 1004 is folded toward the inside of the box body 1001 at a preset angle. The size of the preset angle is related to the distance between the guide rod and the bottom end of the box body 1001 and the side of the box body 1001. Since the bottom cover 1004 is folded at a preset angle, when the folding and lifting cylinder 3221 drives the lifting plate 3222 to move upward, the lifting plate 3222 can push the bottom cover 1004 of the box 100 to continue to fold inward until the free end of the bottom cover 1004 is buckled on the bottom long side 1003 and the two bottom short sides 1002. In other embodiments, the folding and lifting cylinder 3221 of the folding and lifting power assembly 322 can also be a linear drive component such as a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod, etc., and the guide rod can also be a guide plate, etc., and the end of the guide plate close to the material picking structure 2 is bent outward, and the specific selection is made according to actual needs.
