[0044] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the material box operation system 100 proposed in the present invention includes an empty box operation device 1 and a full box operation device 2. The empty box operation device 1 includes a loading mechanism 10 and an empty box operation mechanism 11. The two ends of the empty box operation mechanism 11 respectively form an empty box feed port 110 and an empty box discharge port 111. The loading mechanism 10 is used to operate the empty box to the empty box feed port 110, and the empty box is used to slide from the empty box feed port 110 along the empty box operation mechanism 11 to the empty box discharge port 111. The empty box operation mechanism 11 includes a plurality of empty box transfer racks 112 and a plurality of empty box operation racks 113 arranged downwardly inclined along the empty box material transportation direction. The plurality of empty box operation racks 113 are arranged at intervals, and an empty box transfer rack 112 is arranged between any two adjacent empty box operation racks 113. Each empty box transfer rack 112 can be raised and lowered relative to the empty box operation rack 113 to dock with any empty box operation rack adjacent to it. 113; The solid box operation device 2 includes a solid box operation mechanism 21 which is arranged at intervals below the empty box operation mechanism 11, and the two ends of the solid box operation mechanism 21 respectively form a solid box feed port 210 and a solid box discharge port 211. The solid box feed port 210 is arranged close to the empty box discharge port 111, and the solid box discharge port 211 is arranged close to the empty box feed port 110. The solid box is used to slide from the solid box feed port 210 along the solid box operation mechanism 21 to the solid box discharge port 211. The solid box operation mechanism 21 includes a plurality of solid box transfer racks 212 and a plurality of solid box operation racks 213 which are arranged downwardly inclined along the solid box material transportation direction. The plurality of solid box operation racks 213 are arranged at intervals, and a solid box transfer rack 212 is arranged between any two adjacent solid box operation racks 213. Each solid box transfer rack 212 can be raised and lowered relative to the solid box operation rack 213 to dock with any solid box operation rack 213 adjacent to it.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the material box operation system 100 is used to operate empty boxes and full boxes. An empty box refers to an empty parts box that is not loaded with empty boxes, and a full box refers to a parts box that is loaded with empty boxes. The material box operation system 100 includes an empty box operation device 1 and a full box operation device 2. In the process of operating the empty boxes, the empty box operation device 1 can use an AGV (automatic transport vehicle) trolley to transport the empty boxes to the attachment of the loading mechanism 10. The loading mechanism 10 can be a lift or a manipulator. The loading mechanism 10 is arranged close to the feed port of the empty box operation mechanism 11. The loading mechanism 10 operates the empty boxes to the empty box feed port 110. Since the empty box operation mechanism 11 includes a plurality of empty box operation frames 113 arranged downwardly inclined along the empty box transportation direction, when the empty box is loaded from the empty box feed port When the material port 110 enters the empty box running frame 113, the empty box slides along the empty box running frame 113 in the material transport direction until it slides to the empty box transfer frame 112 adjacent to the empty box running frame 113. It can be understood that by setting the empty box transfer frame 112, the speed of the empty box running device 1 in this embodiment can be controlled by controlling the lifting and lowering of the empty box transfer frame 112. In addition, by setting the empty box transfer frame 112, the angle between the empty box transfer frame 112 and the empty box running frame 113 can be controlled to achieve a change in the empty box material transport direction.

[0046] Among them, an empty box transfer rack 112 is set between any two adjacent empty box running racks 113. When the empty box slides from the empty box running rack 113 near the empty box feed port 110 to the empty box transfer rack 112, the empty box transfer rack 112 is controlled to rise and fall so that the empty box transfer rack 112 can dock with its adjacent empty box running rack 113, so that the empty box can move along the empty box conveying direction. The empty box slides from the empty box running rack 113 along the empty box conveying direction to the empty box transfer rack 112, and slides to the empty box running rack 113 through the empty box transfer rack 112 docking with the empty box running rack 113. This cycle continues until the empty box runs to the empty box discharge port 111. When the empty box runs to the empty box discharge port 111, the AGV trolley can dock with the empty box discharge port 111, so that the empty box slides from the empty box discharge port 111 to the AVG trolley.

[0047] When the empty box is loaded with empty boxes, the empty box becomes a full box and is operated by the full box operation device 2. The full box operation device 2 includes a full box operation mechanism 21 arranged below the empty box operation mechanism 11. The two ends of the full box operation mechanism 21 respectively form a full box feed port 210 and a full box discharge port 211. The full box feed port 210 is arranged close to the empty box discharge port 111, which is convenient for the full box to be loaded with empty boxes and then put into the full box feed port 210. It can be understood that the full box operation mechanism 21 is arranged below the empty box operation mechanism 11, so that the full box feed port 210 can be directly docked with the AGV trolley, and the full box slides from the AGV trolley into the full box feed port 210. The full box discharge port 211 is arranged close to the empty box feed port 110. It can be understood that the full box discharge port 211 is arranged close to the production line. When the empty boxes carried on the full box are consumed, it is convenient for the operator to put the empty boxes into the empty box feed port 110. Among them, a solid box intermediate transfer rack 212 is set between any two adjacent solid box running racks 213. By setting the solid box intermediate transfer rack 212, the angle between the solid box intermediate transfer rack 212 and the solid box running rack 213 can be controlled to change the solid box material transportation direction. When the solid box slides from the solid box running rack 213 near the solid box feeding port 210 to the solid box intermediate transfer rack 212, the solid box intermediate transfer rack 212 is controlled to rise and fall so that the solid box intermediate transfer rack 212 can dock with its adjacent solid box running rack 213. The solid box slides from the solid box running rack 213 along the solid box material transportation direction to the solid box intermediate transfer rack 212. Through the solid box intermediate transfer rack 212 and the solid box running rack 213 docks and slides to the solid box running frame 213, and the cycle continues until the solid box runs to the solid box discharge port 211. When the solid box runs to the solid box discharge port 211, the operator can take the solid box out of the solid box discharge port 211 and transport it to the AGV cart to transport the solid box to the production line. The material box operation system 100 of the present invention can transport solid boxes over long distances without the need for operators to perform handling operations between running equipment, thereby ensuring the safety of operators and improving production efficiency and the accuracy of transportation and docking, thereby avoiding deformation and damage to the workpiece to be assembled caused by the falling of the material box or the falling of parts in the material box during the handling and transfer process.

[0049] The full-box transfer rack 212 includes a second transfer rack body 2120 and a second lifting drive member 2121. The second lifting drive member 2121 is disposed below the second transfer rack body 2120. The output shaft of the second lifting drive member 2121 is connected to the second transfer rack body 2120. The output shaft of the second lifting drive member 2121 is configured to extend relative to the second lifting drive member 2121 to push the second transfer rack body 2120 upward, or to retract relative to the second lifting drive member 2121 to pull the first transfer rack body 1121 downward. By providing the first lifting drive member 1120 to drive the first transfer rack body 1121 to rise and fall, the empty-box transfer rack 112 can dock with the two adjacent empty-box operation racks 113, thereby realizing the operation of empty boxes. By providing the second lifting drive member 2121 to drive the second transfer rack body 2120 to rise and fall, the full-box transfer rack 212 can dock with the two adjacent full-box operation racks 213, thereby realizing the operation of full boxes. The first lifting drive member 1120 and the second lifting drive member 2121 can be lifting cylinders or lifting motors.

The plurality of third rollers 1160 can all roll relative to the empty box, and when the empty box slides along the empty box running frame 113 and touches the empty box protection baffle 116, the third rollers 1160 above the empty box protection baffle 116 can all rotate relative to the empty box, playing the role of assisting in transporting the empty box, preventing the empty box from stopping sliding when it touches the empty box protection baffle 116, thereby increasing the stability of the empty box transport mechanism; the plurality of fourth rollers 2160 can all roll relative to the full box, and when the full box slides along the full box running frame 213 and touches the full box protection baffle 216, the fourth rollers 2160 above the full box protection baffle 216 can all rotate relative to the full box, playing the role of assisting in transporting the full box, preventing the full box from stopping sliding when it touches the full box protection baffle 216, thereby increasing the stability of the full box transport mechanism;

[0055] For details, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The loading mechanism 10 includes a pulling component 101, a feeding component 102 and a lifting component 103. The pulling component 101 includes a pulling member 1010, a base 1011 and a first driving member 1012. The pulling member 1010 is arranged above the base 1011 and is slidably connected to the base 1011; the feeding component 102 includes a lifting frame 1020 and a feeding member 1021 arranged above the pulling member 1010. The lifting frame 1020 forms a accommodating cavity 1020a. The opposite ends of the accommodating cavity 1020a form a feeding end 1020b and a discharging end 1020c. The feeding member 1021 is located in the accommodating cavity 1020a and is slidably connected to the lifting frame 1020. The lowering frame 1020 is connected, and the first driving member 1012 is used to drive the pulling member 1010 to extend out of the feed end 1020b to carry the empty box, and drive the pulling member 1010 to retract so that the empty box enters the accommodating cavity 1020a from the feed end 1020b, and places the empty box above the feeding member 1021; the lifting component 103 includes a base frame 1030, a second driving member 1031 and a transmission component 1032, and the two ends of the transmission component 1032 are respectively connected to the base frame 1030 and the lifting frame 1020, and the second driving member 1031 is used to drive the transmission component 1032 to move up and down, so as to drive the lifting frame 1020 and the feeding member 1021 to move up and down.

[0056] During the operation of the feeding mechanism 10, the pulling member 1010 slides relative to the base 1011 under the drive of the first driving member 1012 and extends from the feeding end 1020b. The operator places the empty box on the pulling member 1010. After the empty box is placed, the pulling member 1010 is retracted under the drive of the first driving member 1012. It can be understood that the lifting frame 1020 forms a accommodating chamber 1020a, and the opposite ends of the accommodating chamber 1020a form the feeding end 1020b and At the discharge end 1020c, the feeding member 1021 is located within the accommodating chamber 1020a and at the bottom thereof. When the pulling member 1010 is retracted under the drive of the first driving member 1012, the empty box abuts against the end of the feeding member 1021 near the feed end 1020b. As the first driving member 1012 drives the pulling member 1010 to retract, the empty box enters the accommodating chamber 1020a from the feed end 1020b and is carried above the feeding member 1021. The lifting assembly 103 is used to drive the lifting frame 1020 to rise when the empty box is within the accommodating chamber 1020a, thereby driving the empty box to rise. Specifically, when the empty box is located in the accommodating chamber 1020a, the transmission assembly 1032, driven by the second driving member 1031, drives the lifting frame 1020 to rise, thereby driving the empty box located in the accommodating chamber 1020a to rise. When the empty box rises into place, the empty box can slide along the feeding member 1021 and slide out from the discharge end 1020c. It can be understood that the discharge end 1020c is docked with the empty box feed port 110. When the empty box slides out from the discharge end 1020c, the empty box slides to the empty box feed port 110, realizing the transportation of the empty box. During the transportation of the empty box, there is no need for operators to carry it, which ensures the safety of the operators, improves production efficiency, and reduces the labor burden of the operators. When the empty box slides from the discharge end 1020c to the empty box feed port 110, the second driving member 1031 drives the transmission assembly 1032 to descend, thereby driving the lifting frame 1020 to descend. It can be understood that the bottom of the accommodating chamber 1020a is provided with an opening connected to the accommodating chamber 1020a. After the lifting frame 1020 descends, the pulling assembly 101 extends into the opening and is arranged close to the feeding assembly 102, so that the empty box and the feeding member 1021 are in contact with the end of the feed end 1020b when the pulling member 1010 pulls the empty box back.

[0057] More specifically, the base frame 1030 includes a frame body 4 and a lifting frame 5 arranged in the frame body 4, and the transmission assembly 1032 includes a first sprocket 6, a second sprocket 7 and a chain 8. The first sprocket 6 is rotatably mounted on the top of the frame body 4, and the second sprocket 7 is rotatably mounted above the lifting frame 5. The chain 8 is wound around the first sprocket 6 and the second sprocket 7. The two ends of the chain 8 respectively form a fixed end 80 and a connecting end 81. The fixed end 80 is fixed to the frame body 4, and the connecting end 81 is connected to the lifting frame 1020. The second driving member 1031 is used to drive the lifting frame 5 and the second sprocket 7 to descend or ascend, so as to drive the lifting frame 1020 and the feeding assembly 102 to ascend or descend accordingly through the chain 8. The second driving member 1031 drives the lifting frame 5 to descend, and the lifting frame 5 drives the second sprocket 7 connected thereto to descend. When the second sprocket 7 descends, since the fixed end 80 of the chain 8 is fixed to the frame body 4, the connecting end 81 of the chain 8 rolls around the first sprocket 6 and rises during the descent of the second sprocket 7, thereby pulling the lifting frame 1020 to ascend; the second driving member 1031 drives the lifting frame 5 to ascend, and the lifting frame 5 drives the second sprocket 7 connected thereto to ascend. After the second sprocket 7 ascends, the tension of the connecting end 81 of the chain 8 from the fixed end 80 disappears, and the lifting frame 1020 descends along the frame body 4 under the action of its own gravity. By providing the first sprocket 6, the second sprocket 7 and the chain 8, the chain 8 can roll along the first sprocket 6 and the second sprocket 7 during the process of driving the lifting frame 1020 to ascend, thereby reducing the friction resistance during the transmission process, and in the process of driving the lifting frame 1020 to descend, the lifting frame 1020 is lowered by relying on its own weight, saving the energy required by the second driving member 1031 in the driving process.

[0058] In one embodiment, the container handling system 100 further includes safety guardrails, which are provided on both sides of the empty container handling device 1 along its extension direction. The safety guardrails can be formed by overlapping multiple square tubes. The provision of the safety guardrails can prevent foreign objects from accidentally entering the container handling system 100, thereby increasing the stability and safety of the container handling system 100.
