[0040] Please see Figures 1-10 A fully automatic case opener for rapid case removal includes:
[0041] Rack 1;
[0042] Storage mechanism 2 is installed on rack 1;
[0043] The picking mechanism 3 is located in front of the storage mechanism 2;
[0044] The stretching and forming mechanism 4 is located on the left side of the storage mechanism 2;
[0045] A workbench 7 is also provided between the picking mechanism 3 and the stretching and forming mechanism 4. The workbench 7 has a first station 5 for folding the bottom cover of the box inwards and a second station 6 for applying sealing tape to the bottom cover of the box.

The right side of the first pressing plate 72 extends downward and outward with a first folding part 73. The front and rear sides of the first pressing plate 72 are respectively provided with second folding parts 74. A third folding part 75 is also rotatably connected to the frame 1. The third folding part 75 is located on the side of the support close to the first folding part 73.
[0047] The front and rear sides of the first bracket 71 are respectively provided with a first cylinder 76 for driving the two second folding parts 74 to move closer or further apart from each other. The first cylinder 76 is fixedly connected to the frame 1.
[0048] like Figure 9 As shown, the second station 6 includes a sealing machine 61 and a second bracket 63 located on the left side of the first bracket 71. The sealing machine 61 is mounted on the second bracket 63, and a limiting part 62 extends downward and outward from the end of the second bracket 63 near the first bracket 71. Accordingly, the limiting part 62 can prevent the bottom cover on the left side of the box from opening.
[0049] It should be noted that the box body in this application has a bottom cover including a left bottom cover, a right bottom cover, a front bottom cover and a rear bottom cover; the first folding part 73 is used to push and fold the left bottom cover of the box body; the two second folding parts 74 are used to push and fold the front bottom cover and the rear bottom cover respectively; the third folding part 75 is used to push and fold the right bottom cover of the box body.
[0050] In the above-mentioned technical means, this application sets the picking mechanism 3 in front of the storage mechanism 2 and the stretching and forming mechanism 4 in the right side of the storage mechanism 2 during the conveying stroke of the box 100. The structure is simple and the workstation layout is compact. The picking mechanism 3 directly picks up the box 100 of the storage mechanism 2 using the first suction cup 37 and delivers it directly to the stretching and forming mechanism 4. The stretching and forming mechanism 4 receives the box 100 and simultaneously stretches and forms it using the second suction cup 45. Then it is conveyed to the first workstation 5 to fold the bottom cover and the second workstation 6 to seal it with tape. Throughout the entire processing process, the box 100 is driven to move by the second suction cup 45 until it is conveyed to the outlet 200. This reduces the handover steps, reduces the handover error, improves the aesthetic appearance of the box 100, and effectively avoids the box 100 being stuck during the conveying process.
[0051] Further such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the first bracket 71 is also provided with a flipping drive mechanism 77 for driving the third folding part 75 to rotate; the flipping drive mechanism 77 includes a first drive cylinder 7701, a flipping arm 7702, a base 7704, and a transmission gear 7703, which are inclinedly connected to the frame 1.

The first drive cylinder 7701 drives the telescopic rod to extend and retract, thereby driving the transmission gear 7703 to rotate, so that the third folding part 75 rotates and pushes the bottom cover to fold inward.
[0052] Further such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the third folding part 75 includes a push plate 7501 and a second pressing plate 7502. The push plate 7501 is vertically disposed on the top of the flipping arm 7702; the second pressing plate 7502 is radially disposed on the top of the push plate 7501, and the connection between the second pressing plate 7502 and the push plate 7501 is arc-shaped.
[0053] Further such as Figure 6 As shown, the picking mechanism 3 includes a first slide rail 31, a second slide rail 32, a third slide rail 33, a first sliding seat 301 slidably connected to the first slide rail 31, a first driving device 34 for driving the first sliding seat 301 to move, a second sliding seat 302 slidably connected to the second slide rail 32, a second driving device 305 for driving the second sliding seat 302 to move, a third sliding seat 38, and a third driving device for driving the third slide rail 33 to move; the first slide rail 31 is fixedly connected to the frame 1; the first sliding seat 301 moves left and right along the first slide rail 31 under the drive of the first driving device 34; the second slide rail 32 is perpendicular to the first slide rail 31. The first sliding seat 301 is fixedly connected to the second sliding seat 302; the second sliding seat 302 moves up and down along the second sliding seat 302 under the action of the second driving device 305, and a picking and mounting frame extends outward from one side of the second sliding seat 302; the third sliding seat 38 is fixedly connected to the picking and mounting frame; the third slide rail 33 is slidably connected to the third sliding seat 38, and the third slide rail 33 moves back and forth relative to the third sliding seat 38 under the action of the third driving device; one end of the third slide rail 33 is provided with a first fixed seat 36, and the upper surface of the first fixed seat 36 is provided with a plurality of first suction cups 37, which are used to pick up the box 100 placed on the storage mechanism 2.
[0054] Further such as Figure 3 and 6 As shown, the stretching forming mechanism 4 includes a conveying linear slide rail 41, a conveying table 43 slidably connected to the conveying linear slide rail 41, a fourth drive device 44, a stretching linear slide rail 42, a fifth drive device, and a second suction cup 45. The conveying linear slide rail 41 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 in a manner parallel to the first slide rail 31. The conveying table 43 moves left and right along the conveying linear slide rail 41 under the action of the fourth drive device 44. A mounting plate 47 is fixedly connected to one side of the conveying table 43, and the fifth drive device is mounted on the mounting plate 47. The bottom of the rail 42 is fixedly connected to the conveyor table 43, and its upper part is slidably connected to the mounting plate 47. The end of the stretch linear slide rail 42 near the picking mechanism 3 is provided with a second fixed seat 46, and the upper surface of the second fixed seat 46 is provided with a plurality of second suction cups 45. The power end of the fifth drive device is connected to the stretch linear slide rail 42 to drive the stretch linear slide rail 42 to move back and forth relative to the conveyor table 43, so as to drive the second suction cups 45 to approach or move away from the first suction cup 37, so as to realize that the second suction cups 45 pick up the box 100 on the first suction cup 37.
[0055] Further such as Figure 7 As shown, the storage mechanism 2 includes multiple partitions 23. A channel 21 for placing boxes 100 is formed between two partitions 23. The end of the channel 21 closest to the picking mechanism 3 is a discharge port 200. The upper part of the channel 21 has a box 100 placement position for arranging the boxes 100, and the lower part has a dispensing mechanism for pushing the boxes 100 towards the discharge port 200. Accordingly, the size of the channel 21 can be adjusted by changing the distance between the two partitions 23, allowing each channel to hold boxes of different sizes. The picking mechanism 3 can freely switch between boxes of various sizes. The opening process for switching between different box sizes does not require the cooperation of other mechanisms; therefore, switching box sizes has no impact on the overall efficiency of opening the boxes.
[0056] Further such as Figure 8 As shown, the shipping mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged support plates 27, pulleys 25, two connecting shafts 22, a conveyor belt 26, a connecting plate 204, and a shipping push plate 29. The two support plates 27 are fixedly connected to the beginning and end of the cargo channel 21, respectively. A pulley 25 is rotatably connected to one support plate 27, and a shipping motor 28 is fixedly connected to the other support plate 27. The power end of the shipping motor 28 is provided with a transmission wheel 201. The conveyor belt 26 is tensioned on the pulleys 25 and the transmission wheel 201. The two connecting shafts 22 are symmetrically arranged between the two support plates 27. Each connecting shaft 22 is slidably connected to a delivery sliding block 202; both ends of the connecting plate 204 are fixedly connected to the delivery sliding block 202, and the middle part is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 26; the connecting plate 204 is provided with two symmetrical delivery push rods, each delivery push rod 203 having a connecting part that extends into the box placement position 24 and can move along the length of the box placement position 24; both ends of the delivery push plate 29 are fixedly connected to the connecting parts of the two delivery push rods 203, and the delivery push plate 29 abuts against the last box 100 in the box placement position 24.
[0057] Further such as Figure 6 As shown, the fifth driving device includes a first transmission rack 401 fixedly connected to the stretching linear slide rail 42 and a stretching drive motor 48. The power end of the stretching drive motor 48 is provided with a second transmission wheel 402, which meshes with the first transmission rack 401. Accordingly, the rotation of the second transmission wheel 402 drives the stretching linear slide rail 42 to move horizontally to the left or right, so that the second suction cup 45 moves closer to the adsorption box 100 towards the first suction cup 37.
[0058] Further such as Figure 5As shown, the third drive device includes a second transmission rack 303 fixedly connected to the third slide rail 33 and a picking motor 39. The picking motor 39 is fixedly connected to the picking mounting frame, and a third transmission wheel is installed on its power end. The third transmission wheel is meshed with the second transmission rack 303.
[0059] The working principle of this application is as follows:
[0060] Step 1: The second slide rail 32 in the picking mechanism 3 moves to the right on the first slide rail 31 to move the first suction cup 37 to the front of the cargo channel 21 to be shipped in the storage mechanism 2. Then, the third slide rail 33 moves up or down on the second slide rail 32 to adjust the position of the first suction cup 37 so that it is aligned with the outlet 200 of the cargo channel 21 to be shipped. Finally, the third drive device drives the third slide rail 33 to move forward, so that the first suction cup 37 located at one end of the third slide rail 33 moves closer to the outlet 200 of the cargo channel 21 and picks up the plate-shaped box 100 located at the outlet 200 of the cargo channel, thus completing the picking.
[0061] Step 2: In the stretching forming mechanism 4, the stretching linear slide rail 42 moves to the right on the conveying linear slide rail 41, so that the direction of the second suction cup 45 is aligned with the first suction cup 37. Then, under the drive of the stretching drive motor 48, the stretching linear slide rail 42 moves forward on the conveying table 43, causing the second suction cup 45 located at one end of the stretching linear slide rail 42 to move closer to the first suction cup 37 and suck up the box 100 on the first suction cup 37.
[0062] Step 3: While the first suction cup 37 and the second suction cup 45 apply suction to the box 100, the stretching linear slide rail 42 moves backward a certain distance on the conveyor table 43 under the action of the stretching drive motor 48, so that the box 100, which is folded into a plate shape, is stretched and unfolded. Then the first suction cup 37 releases the box 100 and moves to the storage mechanism 2 for the next round of picking.
[0063] Step 4: The second suction cup 45 transports the unfolded box 100 to the first work station 5. When the box 100 approaches and moves to the first support 71, its left cover first folds inward under the obstruction of the first folding part 73; then the third folding part 75 rotates upward and pushes the right cover of the box 100 to fold inward; when the entire box 100 is completely above the first support 71, the second folding parts 74 on the front and rear sides of the first pressing plate 72 push the front cover and right cover of the box 100 to fold inward under the drive of the first cylinder 76. Here, the first pressing plate 72 can press the left cover and right cover of the box 100 to prevent the left cover and right cover from falling apart.
[0064] Step 5: The second suction cup 45 continues to move the box 100 with the bottom cover closed to the second station 6, and the bottom cover is sealed with adhesive tape by the sealing machine 61.
[0065] Step 6: The second suction cup 45 transports the sealed box 100 to the outlet 200.
[0066] It should be noted that the box 100 is folded into a plate shape when placed in the storage mechanism 2.
[0067] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention.
