[0060] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0061] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0062] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0064] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or suggesting their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.

In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0065] With the rapid development of intelligent warehousing and logistics in recent years, the trend toward smart warehouses and reduced staffing is becoming increasingly apparent. For example, in the warehouses of 3C electronics companies, where production is fast-paced and staffing requirements are high, automation and intelligentization are the optimal solutions to the current high staff turnover and recruitment difficulties.

[0066] In the current warehouse storage process, raw materials must first be removed from incoming cartons and transferred to turnover boxes. This requires manual use of a utility knife to cut through the horizontal (center seam) and two vertical (side seams) tape on the top of the carton before turning the cartons over. Furthermore, the cartons, which are then disposed of as waste, also require the horizontal and two vertical tape on the bottom to be cut through and the cartons flattened. This manual cutting process results in wasted labor.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 14 The carton has a top surface and a bottom surface arranged relative to each other in the upper and lower directions. In the figure, a represents the center seam of the top surface, and b represents the side seam of the top surface. Correspondingly, the bottom surface also has a center seam and two side seams, and the side seams of the carton are perpendicular to the extension direction of the center seam.

[0068] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The carton processing equipment 1000 has a first carton cutting station and a second carton cutting station, and the second carton cutting station is located on one side of the extension line of the first carton cutting station, so that the first carton cutting station and the second carton cutting station are staggered in the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction. The carton processing equipment 1000 includes a first carton cutting device 100, a second carton cutting device 200 and a transfer device 300. The first carton cutting device 100 is located at the first carton cutting station. The first carton cutting device 100 includes a first tool mechanism and a first conveying mechanism 1. The first conveying mechanism Mechanism 1 is used to convey cartons along a first horizontal direction, and the first tool mechanism is used to cut the tape at the center seam of the top and bottom surfaces of the carton; the second carton scoring device 200 is located at the second carton scoring station, and the second carton scoring device 200 includes a second conveying mechanism and a second tool mechanism. The second conveying mechanism is used to convey cartons along a second horizontal direction, and the second tool mechanism is used to cut the tape at the side seams of the top and bottom surfaces of the carton during the process of the carton being conveyed and moved; the transfer device 300 is used to transfer the carton at the first carton scoring station to the second carton scoring station.

[0069] In the technical solution of the present invention, the center seam of the carton is set along a first horizontal direction, and the side seams are set along a second horizontal direction. When the carton enters the first carton-slashing station, it is conveyed along the first horizontal direction by the first conveying mechanism 1. At this time, the center seam is parallel to the conveying direction. During the carton conveying process, the first tool mechanism cuts the tape at the two center seams of the carton that are opposite to each other in the vertical direction. The carton is transferred to the second carton-slashing station by the transfer device 300. The carton is conveyed along the second horizontal direction by the second conveying mechanism. At this time, the side seams are parallel to the conveying direction. During the carton conveying process, the second tool mechanism cuts the tape at the four side seams of the carton that are opposite to each other in the vertical direction, thereby completing the automatic carton-opening process. The carton-slashing direction is specified according to the direction of the gap extension at the carton opening position, and the carton-slashing state is highly consistent, effectively avoiding defects such as random cutting depth during manual carton opening, which may cause scratches on the materials in the carton. This effectively reduces the personal safety risks caused by personnel using utility knives and improves production efficiency.

[0070] The present invention does not limit the layout of the carton processing equipment 1000, which can be centralized or decentralized. In a centralized layout, the first carton slicing device 100 and the second carton slicing device 200 are located on the same line. In this case, the first conveying mechanism 1, the transfer device 300, and the second conveying mechanism are connected to each other, and the conveying height is consistent. In a decentralized layout, the first carton slicing device 100 and the second carton slicing device 200 are two completely independent devices.

[0071] In one embodiment, the transfer device 300 includes a first transfer table 310 and a side pushing mechanism 320. The first transfer table 310 is used to transport cartons along a first horizontal direction. The first transfer table 310 is adjacent to the first carton marking station at one end in the first horizontal direction, and the side of the other end is adjacent to the second carton marking station. The side pushing mechanism 320 is provided on the end of the first transfer table 310 adjacent to the second carton marking station. The side pushing mechanism 320 includes a side pushing portion movable along the second horizontal direction. The side pushing portion is used to push the carton to the second carton marking station along the second direction when the carton is transported to the other end of the first transfer table 310. In this embodiment, the cartons output by the first conveying mechanism 1 flow into the first transfer platform 310. When the cartons reach the end position of the first transfer platform 310 in the conveying direction, the cartons are transferred to the second conveying mechanism by the side pusher. That is, the conveying trajectory of the cartons is L-shaped, first passing through the first box marking station and the transfer platform in sequence along the first horizontal direction, and then the conveying direction is changed to the second horizontal direction by the side pusher. It should be understood that the first transfer platform 310 can be directly connected to the first conveying mechanism 1 and the second conveying mechanism to achieve a centralized layout.

[0072] The side thrust mechanism 320 further includes a driving member for driving the side thrust portion to move. The driving member may be a screw structure, a cylinder, an electric push rod, etc., and the present invention does not impose any limitation on this.

[0073] A conveyor belt can be provided on the first transfer platform 310 to transport cartons. In some embodiments, a plurality of first rollers are provided on the first transfer platform 310. The plurality of first rollers are arranged along a first horizontal direction. The plurality of first rollers can all rotate along an axis extending in a second horizontal direction. The plurality of first rollers are used to jointly transport cartons. The roller structure is more flexible and durable. It should be understood that at least some of the plurality of first rollers are active drive components that can actively rotate to drive the cartons to move, and some of the first rollers can be passive components that provide support and assistance. The plurality of first rollers can be arranged at intervals or in close proximity.

[0074] Taking into account that the first transfer table 310 has a transfer function, if it fails to stop in time, the carton may move to the point where it is offset from the side pusher and fall off. Therefore, a stop structure should be provided at the end corresponding to the first transfer table 310. In one embodiment, the side pusher includes a first extension arm 3201 and a second extension arm 3202. The first extension arm 3201 extends along a second horizontal direction and is located at the other end of the first transfer table 310. The second extension arm 3202 is connected to the first extension arm 3201 and is located on the side of the first extension arm 3201 that is away from the second carton cutting station. The second extension arm 3202 extends along the first horizontal direction. The first extension arm 3201 and the second extension arm 3202 are respectively used to contact the two adjacent sides of the carton. The carton first moves until it contacts the first extension arm 3201, where it is blocked by the first extension arm 3201 and thus stops. The side pusher is then activated, causing the second extension arm 3202 to contact the carton and apply a force to change the carton's conveying direction. The side pusher is generally L-shaped and can simultaneously serve the functions of stopping, pushing, and guiding movement. It should be understood that, in the initial position, the first extension arm 3201 corresponds to the end of the first transfer platform 310, and the second extension arm 3202 corresponds to the side edge of the first transfer platform 310.

[0075] In another embodiment, the transfer device 300 includes a second transfer table 340 and an auxiliary mechanism. The second transfer table 340 extends along the second horizontal direction to be adjacent to the second box-cutting station. The second transfer table 340 is used to transport cartons along the second horizontal direction. The auxiliary mechanism is provided between the second transfer table 340 and the first box-cutting device. The auxiliary mechanism is used to transfer the cartons cut by the first box-cutting device to the second transfer table 340, and to arrange the side seams of the cartons along the second horizontal direction. The second transfer table 340 only serves as a connection. Its conveying direction is consistent with that of the second conveying mechanism. The cartons are moved by the auxiliary mechanism. The auxiliary mechanism can be a robot, a mobile platform, etc., and the present invention does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0076] Furthermore, the transfer device 300 also includes two transfer clamps 350, which are arranged on the second transfer platform 340 and are arranged opposite to each other along the first horizontal direction. One of the transfer clamps 350 has a movable stroke that can move closer to or away from the other transfer clamp 350. The two transfer clamps 350 are used to jointly clamp the opposite sides of the carton on the second transfer platform 340. The transfer clamps 350 have the effect of pre-positioning the carton. The second carton cutting device is positioned by the side, and the carton is pushed to the side of the second transfer platform 340 by the transfer clamps 350, so that the carton is located at the side when entering the second carton cutting station, thereby facilitating the cooperation between the carton and the second conveying device.

[0077] Specifically, the first conveying mechanism 1 has a conveying track extending along the first horizontal direction, which is used to convey cartons along the first horizontal direction; the first tool mechanism includes two first tool structures 31 arranged opposite to each other in the upper and lower directions, one of the first tool structures 31 is exposed on the conveying track, and the other tool structure can be movably installed in the upper and lower directions. The two first tool structures 31 are used to cut the tape at the middle seam of the top and bottom surfaces of the carton during the process of the carton being conveyed and moved.

[0078] The carton sealed with tape is placed on the conveying track, and the center seam of the carton is set in the first horizontal direction. The carton is conveyed along the first horizontal direction. Initially, the two first tool structures 31 are located on both sides of the carton in the upper and lower directions, and both correspond to the center line of the conveying track. When the center seam of the carton and the first tool structure 31 are on the same straight line, the position of the first tool structure 31 is adjusted so that the positions of the two first tool structures 31 can contact the tape on the carton, driving the carton to continue to be conveyed. In the process of continuing to convey the carton along the first horizontal direction, the two first tool structures 31 cut the tape at the center seam of the top and bottom surfaces of the carton, thereby completing the process of automatically cutting the center seam.

[0079] Furthermore, the first carton cutting device 100 also includes a first clamping mechanism 2, which includes two first clamping parts 21 arranged above the conveying track and opposite to each other along the second horizontal direction. The two first clamping parts 21 can approach or move away from each other along the second horizontal direction. The two first clamping parts 21 are used to jointly clamp the carton on the conveying track and respectively press against the two opposite sides of the carton. In the initial state, the two first clamping parts 21 are respectively located on the two opposite sides of the carton along the second horizontal direction and do not contact the carton. When the carton is conveyed to the designated position, the carton stops running, and the two first clamping parts 21 approach each other to confine the carton to the middle of the conveying track. At this time, the center seam of the carton and the first tool structure 31 are on the same straight line and in contact with the corresponding sides of the carton, thereby realizing the centering of the carton. The design of the two first clamping parts 21 is compatible with carton sizes of different specifications.

[0080] The present invention does not limit the specific structural form of the first clamping part 21. Considering that the first clamping part 21 still needs to maintain a clamping and positioning state with the carton during the continued transportation of the carton, in one embodiment, the first clamping part 21 is composed of a plurality of rotating rollers, and the plurality of rotating rollers can be passively rotated under the force during the movement of the carton, thereby avoiding mutual interference between the first clamping part 21 and the carton.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 2 In another embodiment, the first clamping portion 21 includes a first support seat 211, a plurality of first support rollers, and a first belt 212. The first support seat 211 can be movably installed along the second horizontal direction; the plurality of first support rollers are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction and are rotatably installed on the first support seat 211 along an axis extending in the vertical direction; the first belt 212 is sleeved on the outside of the plurality of first support rollers to fit the corresponding side surfaces of the carton. It should be understood that at this time, the functional surfaces of the first belts 212 in the two first clamping portions 21 should be set toward each other, and at least two of the plurality of first support rollers located at the edge can actively rotate, thereby driving the first belt 212 to move synchronously with the carton when the carton is conveyed, which can achieve both sliding fit and maintaining clamping limit.

[0082] The present invention does not limit the method of driving the movement of the first clamping parts 21. For example, a bidirectional screw structure can be used to control the synchronous linear movement of the two first clamping parts 21, or electric push rods can be provided to drive the movement of the two first clamping parts 21 separately. In this embodiment, the two first clamping parts 21 can be driven to move synchronously in the same direction or in opposite directions by a motor, a speed reducer, and a belt drive structure.

[0083] To ensure operational stability, in some embodiments, the first clamping mechanism 2 further includes at least one first guide rod 22 extending along the second horizontal direction; both first clamping portions 21 move along the first guide rod 22. The first guide rod 22 provides linear guidance. Since a certain travel is required to slit the carton seam, the first clamping portion 21 needs to have a certain length in the first horizontal direction. Therefore, two first guide rods 22 are provided in this embodiment to improve stability.

[0084] Furthermore, the transportation of cartons can be achieved by a conveyor belt. In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The first conveying mechanism 1 includes a conveying platform 11 and a plurality of second rollers 12. The middle portion of the conveying platform 11 is hollowed out. The plurality of second rollers 12 are arranged on the conveying platform 11 at intervals along the first horizontal direction, avoiding the hollowed-out position. The plurality of second rollers 12 are all rotatable along an axis extending in the second horizontal direction. The plurality of second rollers 12 together form the conveying track. One of the first tool structures 31 is arranged at the hollowed-out position of the conveying platform 11. The plurality of second rollers 12 can all be configured as active rotating parts, or some of the second rollers 12 can be configured as active rotating parts according to the size of the carton. Considering the hollowed-out position, the second rollers 12 on both sides of the hollowed-out position are smaller in size. The first tool structure 31 is arranged at the hollowed-out position to ensure centering. The structural form of the second rollers 12 provides a certain degree of flexibility in the arrangement of the positions of the second rollers 12, which is conducive to the connection and concealment of the driving part of the first clamping mechanism 2.

[0085] Based on the above embodiment, the plurality of second rollers 12 form a plurality of roller groups, with a clearance gap 12a formed between each adjacent roller group. Each first clamping portion 21 is mounted via a plurality of support members 23, each of which passes through a corresponding clearance gap 12a. The upper ends of the support members 23 pass through the corresponding clearance gap 12a to connect with the first clamping portion 21, while the lower ends connect with the corresponding drive component. This prevents the drive component from being hidden while still ensuring support for the support portion. The clearance gap 12a serves as a means of ensuring safe engagement.

[0086] It should be understood that the number of second rollers 12 in each roller group may be the same or different, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0087] Because of the existence of the avoidance gap 12a, the carton will be partially suspended during transportation. During the transportation connection process, there is a risk of insufficient support and the carton tilting and getting stuck in the avoidance gap 12a. In view of this, in some embodiments, a roller 24 is provided on the side surface of each support member 23. The roller 24 can be rotatably installed along an axis extending in the second horizontal direction. The roller 24 is located in the corresponding avoidance gap 12a, and the upper surface of the roller 24 is flush with the upper surface of the second roller 12. The roller 24 can move synchronously with the first clamping portion 21, so that it can move to the bottom of the carton to play an auxiliary support role.

[0088] It should be noted that the two first tool structures 31 can be set as parts that move up and down, so that the two first tool structures 31 are separated from the carton before the position of the carton is centered with the conveying track. The first tool structure 31 located above can also be set to be liftable to cooperate with the avoidance of the carton, and the first tool structure 31 located below is stationary. This time, when the carton is clamped and positioned, it should be ensured that the stopping position of the carton is spaced from the first tool structure 31.

[0089] The present invention does not limit the specific form of the first tool structure 31, which can be a blade-type structure or a rotatable cutting disc. Figure 4 The first tool structure 31 includes a first mounting seat 311, a guide plate 312 and a first cutting knife 313. The first mounting seat 311 is arranged on the first conveying mechanism 1; the guide plate 312 extends along the first horizontal direction and is arranged on the first mounting seat 311. The guide plate 312 forms a first contact plane 312a facing upward, and a first guide slope 312b connected to the first contact plane 312a. A part of the guide plate 312 is hollowed out, and the hollow position of the guide plate 312 passes through the first contact plane 312a at least; the first cutting knife 313 extends in the up and down directions and is fixed to the first mounting seat 311. The tip of the first cutting knife 313 can extend upward from the hollow position of the guide plate 312 to be exposed on the conveying track. The first mounting seat 311 serves as a supporting component and is correspondingly arranged on the first conveying mechanism 1. The first cutting knife 313 is relatively fixed to the guide plate 312. During the transfer process, the carton first contacts the first guide slope 312b as a guide, and then contacts the tip of the corresponding first cutting knife 313, so that the tape is cut.

[0090] It should be understood that, considering the wear and tear caused by use and the effect of adhesive tape adhering to the first cutting blade 313 on the box-cutting effect, the first cutting blade 313 should be detachable for easy replacement.

[0091] Because cartons vary greatly, cartons of the same model also vary greatly due to collision and extrusion during transportation. At the same time, the overall rigidity of the top and bottom surfaces of the cartons is inconsistent. The rigidity near the edge is stronger, while the rigidity in the middle is weaker. This results in poor consistency in the amount of cutting when the center seam tape is cut, and it is easy to have a problem of deep cutting at the edge and shallow cutting in the middle. Therefore, in some embodiments, the first mounting seat 311 is installed through a floating structure so that the first mounting seat 311 has a floating stroke in the upper and lower directions. The present invention does not limit the specific form of the floating structure, which can be a structure in which a spring and a guide column cooperate, or a form in which a spring or elastic rubber cooperates. Taking the floating achieved by a spring connection as an example, the spring is pre-compressed. When the carton contacts the first guide slope 312b, the guide plate 312 is subjected to force to further compress the spring. When the carton moves to contact the first contact plane 312a, it is subjected to the rebound force, and the blade can ensure that it is inserted into the center seam. By making the first mounting base 311 drive the first cutting knife 313 to float up and down, it can be ensured that the first cutting knife 313 can achieve a sufficient cutting amount for different tape sticking conditions of cartons.

[0092] To improve the stability of the carton cutting process, in some embodiments, the first carton cutting device 100 further includes a first pressing assembly 4. The first pressing assembly 4 includes a first pressing structure located above the conveyor track and movable in an up-and-down direction. The first pressing structure is configured to press against the top surface of the carton. This provides downward pressure on the carton during the cutting process, preventing the carton from moving.

[0093] Specifically, the first pressing assembly 4 further includes a lifting mechanism, which is mounted above the conveying track via a mounting frame, that is, the first pressing mechanism is suspended, making the layout of the equipment more compact and making reasonable use of the upper space.

[0094] The present invention does not limit the specific form of the pressing structure. In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The first pressing structure includes a first connecting seat 41 and two first pressing parts 42. The first connecting seat 41 is movable in the vertical direction. The two first pressing parts 42 are installed at intervals along the second horizontal direction to the lower end of the first connecting seat 41. The two first pressing parts 42 are used to correspond to the two sides of the center seam of the carton respectively. Another first cutting tool structure 31 is provided on the first connecting seat 41 and is located between the two first pressing parts 42. The interval between the two first pressing parts 42 is fixed. The two first pressing parts 42 always correspond to the middle position of the conveying track and are located on both sides of its center line. Therefore, the center seam of the carton can be exposed after pressing the carton. The first cutting tool structure 31 is installed based on the first connecting seat 41, so that it can share the lifting mechanism with the two first pressing parts 42, saving parts.

[0095] In other embodiments, the first pressing structure may also be configured as a structure in which multiple rotating shafts cooperate. Specifically, the first pressing portion 42 may be configured as a rotating shaft or an elastic pressure plate, which is not limited in the present invention.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present invention, each first pressing portion 42 includes a plurality of second support rollers and a second belt 421. The plurality of second support rollers are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction and are rotatably mounted on the first connecting seat 41 along an axis extending along the second horizontal direction. The second belt 421 is sleeved around the exterior of the plurality of second support rollers and is configured to conform to the top surface of the carton. In other words, the structure of each first pressing portion 42 is similar to that of the first clamping portion 21. It should be understood that the functional surface of the second belt 421 should be positioned upward, and during carton conveyance, the second belt 421 should be controlled to move synchronously.

[0097] Not only that, a receiving platform 410 is set at the front end of the first box-cutting mechanism. The receiving platform 410 conveys the carton along the first horizontal direction in the form of a rotating roller. The receiving platform 410 is adjacent to the conveying track. The receiving platform 410 is provided with a second support frame 420 and a third measuring device 430. The second support frame 420 plays a supporting role and is mounted on the receiving platform 410. The third measuring device 430 is set on the second support frame 420 for detecting the size of the carton, so that the two first clamping parts 21 can perform preliminary position adjustment according to the size of the carton, thereby shortening the time required for centering the carton on the conveying track.

[0098] Specifically, a centering clamping mechanism 440 is provided on the receiving platform 410, and the centering clamping mechanism includes a centering part that can move relatively along the second horizontal direction. The two centering parts are used to center the carton, so that the carton can enter the first conveying mechanism 1 in a relatively centered position.

[0099] Furthermore, the second conveying mechanism includes a carrier 210 and a clamping conveying mechanism 220. The clamping conveying mechanism 220 includes two clamping conveying parts 2201 arranged above the carrier 210 and arranged opposite to each other along the first horizontal direction. At least one of the two clamping conveying parts 2201 can move along the first horizontal direction. The two clamping conveying parts 2201 are used to clamp the carton together and can transport the carton along the second horizontal direction. At the second cartoning station, the side seam of the carton is arranged in the second horizontal direction, and the carton is transported along the second horizontal direction. The carton is clamped and positioned by adjusting the distance between the two clamping conveying parts 2201. The clamping conveying parts 2201 play the role of clamping and conveying at the same time. There is no need to set a conveying part on the carrier 210, which saves parts. The design of the two clamping conveying parts 2201 is compatible with carton sizes of different specifications.

[0100] The second tool mechanism includes two second tool structures 230 disposed in an upward and downward direction, at least one of which is movable in an upward and downward direction. Each second tool structure 230 includes two tool pieces 2301 disposed in an upward and downward direction, each of which is used to cut the adhesive tape at the edge seams of the top and bottom surfaces of the carton while the carton is being transported. During the transportation of the carton, the four tool pieces 2301 can be respectively inserted into the four edge seams of the carton, thereby cutting the adhesive tape at the edge seams of the top and bottom surfaces of the carton while the carton is being transported. By adjusting the position of the second tool structure 230, avoidance can be achieved during the positioning and clamping process of the carton, and the consistency of cutting the edge seams of the top and bottom surfaces of the carton is high.

[0101] It should be understood that the two clamping and conveying parts 2201 can both be movable, and the position of the carton can be fixed by center positioning. In this embodiment, the two clamping and conveying parts 2201 include a fixed part 2201a and a movable part 2201b. The fixed part 2201a is fixed to a side edge of the supporting platform in the first horizontal direction; the movable part 2201b moves along the first horizontal direction to move closer to or away from the fixed part 2201a. In other words, the fixed part 2201a is used as a reference for the position of the carton, and the carton position is determined by side positioning.

[0102] The present invention does not limit the movable driving form of the clamping and conveying part 2201. For example, a screw structure, an electric push rod, etc. can be used. In this embodiment, the movable part 2201b can move closer to or away from the fixed part 2201a by driving the motor, reducer and belt transmission structure.

[0103] Considering the stability of the device's operation, in some embodiments, the clamping and conveying mechanism 220 further includes at least one second guide rod extending along the first horizontal direction; the movable portion 2201b moves along the second guide rod, achieving linear guidance via the second guide rod. Multiple second guide rods can be arranged as appropriate based on the dimensions of the clamping and conveying portion 2201 in the second horizontal direction.

[0104] In order to realize the clamping and conveying functions of the clamping and conveying portion 2201, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The clamping and conveying unit 2201 includes a support base 2202, a first conveying unit, and a second clamping unit 2205. The support base is provided on the carrier platform; the first conveying unit is provided on the side end surface of the carrier platform 210 and can convey the carton along the second horizontal direction; the second clamping unit 2205 extends along the second horizontal direction and is fixed to the upper end surface of the support base 2202. The second clamping unit 2205 and the first conveying unit are staggered in the first horizontal direction and are used to contact the corresponding side end surface of the carton. It should be understood that when the clamping and conveying unit 2201 is a fixed unit 2201a, the support base 2202 is fixed to the carrier platform 210. When the clamping and conveying unit 2201 is a movable unit 2201b, the support base 2202 can be driven to move along the first horizontal direction. The second clamping unit 2205 and the first conveying unit are located at the upper end and the side end of the support base 2202, so as to correspond to the side and bottom surfaces of the carton respectively.

[0105] Furthermore, the first conveying section includes a plurality of first conveying rollers 2203 and a first conveying belt 2204 sleeved around the first conveying rollers 2203. The first conveying belt 2204 is configured to contact the bottom surface of the carton. The first conveying rollers 2203 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction and are rotatably mounted to the side end surface of the support base 2202 along axes extending in the first horizontal direction. It should be understood that the functional surface of the first conveying belt 2204 should be positioned upward, and at least two of the first conveying rollers 2203 located at the edges can actively rotate, thereby driving the carton to move.

[0106] In this embodiment, the second clamping portion 2205 is configured as a combination of a baffle and a rotating roller. The baffle extends along the second horizontal direction, and its length should be consistent with the conveying distance of the carton. The rotating roller can be passively rotated to slide with the carton. It should be understood that the second clamping portion 2205 can also be configured as a conveyor belt, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0107] In this embodiment, the two tool elements 2301 in the second tool structure 230 located at the bottom are respectively provided on the fixed portion 2201a and the movable portion 2201b, and the second tool structure 230 can move in the up and down directions.

[0108] The present invention does not limit the specific form of the tool 2301, which may be a blade-like structure or a rotatable cutting disc. In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The tool part 2301 includes a second mounting seat 2302, a guide portion 2303 and a second cutting knife 2304. The guide portion 2303 extends along the first horizontal direction and is arranged on the second mounting seat 2302. The guide portion 2303 forms a second contact plane 2303a set toward the other tool part 2301, and a second guide slope 2303b connected to the second contact plane 2303a. The guide portion 2303 is used to contact the corresponding side of the box body; the second cutting knife 2304 is arranged at an angle and extends along the first horizontal direction to be fixed to the second mounting seat 2302. The tip of the second cutting knife 2304 can protrude from the guide portion 2303 to be inserted into the side seam of the carton. It should be noted that the second cutting blade 2304 is inserted between the inner flap and the outer flap during use. The second cutting blade 2304 is arranged at an angle, that is, the tip of the second cutting blade 2304 is at a certain angle when inserted into the carton's side seam along the carton's side. This arrangement not only allows the tape to be cut, but also reduces the degree of scratching of the carton's inner flap. In this application, the angle of the second cutting blade 2304 is set at 0° to 90°. Preferably, the angle of the second cutting blade 2304 with the horizontal plane when cutting the tape is 30°, as this angle provides the best cutting effect.

[0109] It should be understood that the second mounting seat 2302 can be driven to move by a separate driving mechanism, and the second mounting seat 2302 can also be fixed on the fixed part 2201a or the movable part 2201b, and is set according to the actual installation position and activity requirements of the tool part 2301.

[0110] Taking into account the wear and tear caused by use and the effect of adhesive tape adhering to the second cutting blade 2304 on its box-cutting effect, the second cutting blade should be detachable for easy replacement.

[0111] Because cartons vary greatly, cartons of the same model also vary greatly due to collisions and squeezing during transportation. At the same time, the overall rigidity of the top and bottom surfaces of the cartons is inconsistent, with stronger rigidity near the edges and weaker rigidity in the middle. This results in poor consistency in the amount of cut when the side seam tape is cut, and the problem of deep cut at the edges and shallow cut in the middle easily occurs. Therefore, in some embodiments, the second mounting base 2302 is installed via a floating structure so that the second mounting base 2302 has a floating stroke in both the vertical and horizontal directions and in the first horizontal direction. This allows the second cutting blade 2304 to move horizontally and vertically as the carton moves, achieving the effect of automatic adjustment as the carton shape and position change, and ensuring that the second cutting blade 2304 can achieve sufficient cut amount for the tape application conditions of different cartons.

[0112] The present invention does not limit the specific form of the floating structure. It can be realized by the cooperation of multiple elastic parts, or by the cooperation of elastic parts and slide rails. In one embodiment, the second mounting seat 2302 includes a horizontal seat body and a vertical seat body. The horizontal seat body and the vertical seat body are cooperated through slide rails, and a compression spring is installed at the bottom of the horizontal seat body, and a compression spring is also installed at the bottom of the vertical seat body, thereby realizing floating in two directions.

[0113] Furthermore, two guide portions 2303 are provided, and the two guide portions 2303 are arranged at an angle to contact the side surface of the carton in the first horizontal direction and the end surface in the vertical direction, respectively. The second cutting blade 2304 is fixed to the guide portion 2303 arranged in the first horizontal direction, thereby improving positioning accuracy. Accordingly, when the second mounting base 2302 includes a horizontal base body and a vertical base body, the two guide portions 2303 are respectively arranged on the horizontal base body and the vertical base body, and the second cutting blade 2304 is located in the vertical gap between the two guide portions 2303.

[0114] In order to improve the stability of the box, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The second carton-cutting device 200 further includes a second pressing assembly 240. The second pressing assembly 240 includes a second pressing structure located above the carrier 210 and movable in an up-and-down direction. The second pressing structure is configured to press against the top surface of the carton. This provides downward pressure on the carton during the carton-cutting process, preventing the carton from moving.

[0115] Specifically, the second pressing assembly 240 further includes a lifting mechanism, which is mounted above the supporting platform 210 via a mounting frame. That is, the second pressing structure is suspended, making the layout of the device more compact and making reasonable use of the upper space.

[0116] The present invention does not limit the specific form of the second pressing structure. In some embodiments, the second pressing structure includes a second connecting seat 2401 and two second pressing parts 2402. The second connecting seat 2401 is movable in the vertical direction. The two second pressing parts 2402 are installed at intervals along the first horizontal direction to the lower end of the second connecting seat 2401. The two second pressing parts 2402 are used to press the top surface of the carton. The second cutting tool structure 230 located above is provided on the second connecting seat 2401 and is arranged corresponding to one of the second pressing parts 2402. When the two second pressing parts 2402 contact the carton, they should be located between two side seams located on the same end surface. The second cutting tool structure 230 is installed based on the second connecting seat 2401, so that it can share a lifting mechanism with the two second pressing parts 2402, saving parts.

[0117] In other embodiments, the second pressing structure may also be configured as a structure in which multiple rotating shafts cooperate. Specifically, the second pressing portion 2402 may be configured as a rotating shaft or an elastic pressure plate, and the present invention does not impose any limitation thereto.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 4 Each second pressing portion 2402 includes a plurality of pressing rollers 2403 and a pressing belt 2404. The plurality of pressing rollers 2403 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction and are rotatably mounted on the second connecting base 2401 along an axis extending along the first horizontal direction. The pressing belt 2404 is sleeved around the plurality of pressing rollers 2403 and is configured to contact the top surface of the carton. The structure of each second pressing portion 2402 is similar to that of the first conveying portion. It should be understood that the functional surface of the pressing belt 2404 should be positioned upward, and during the carton conveying process, the pressing belt 2404 should be controlled to move synchronously.

[0119] Taking into account that the side seam scoring of the box adopts a side positioning method, the spacing between the two second holding parts 2402 can be fixed, and both are located on the side of the carrier 210. However, taking into account the different sizes of the cartons, in some embodiments, the two clamping and conveying parts 2201 include a fixed part 2201a and a movable part 2201b that moves along the first horizontal direction to approach or move away from the fixed part 2201a; one of the second holding parts 2402 is connected to the movable part 2201b through a transmission structure 2405 so as to be able to move synchronously with the movable part 2201b. The two second holding parts 2402 can be raised and lowered synchronously, and the second holding part 2402 that is transmission-connected to the movable part 2201b can move along the first horizontal direction. The second pressing portion 2402 can be driven by the movable portion 2201b to adjust the distance between the second pressing portion 2402 and another second pressing portion 2402, thereby increasing flexibility, being more adaptable to the side positioning method, and ensuring that the two second pressing portions 2402 will not block the side seam.

[0120] Please refer to Figure 1 In the first embodiment, the carton handling equipment is arranged in a centralized manner, and its working process is as follows:

[0121] The carton is conveyed along the first horizontal direction and is first placed on the receiving platform 410 so that the carton is as close to the middle of the receiving platform 410 as possible. The size of the carton is detected by the third measuring device 430. The controller controls the two first clamping parts 21 of the first clamping mechanism 2 to move to the preset position in advance according to the measurement data. The carton is transferred to the conveying track and stops at the designated position of the conveying track. The two first clamping parts 21 position and clamp the carton in the first horizontal direction, and the two first pressing parts 42 position and clamp the entire carton in the upper and lower directions. As the carton continues to circulate, the tape at the seam is cut open by the first cutting knife 313 in the upper and lower directions, and the carton continues to move along the first horizontal direction to the first transfer platform 310 The first measuring device 330 detects the size of the carton. Based on the measurement data, the controller controls the two clamping conveying parts 2201 to move to a preset position in advance. The carton moves to the tail end of the first transfer table and is transferred to the two first conveying parts via the side pushing mechanism 320. At this time, the carton, based on its movement trajectory, naturally lies on the side of the carrier 210 corresponding to the fixed part 2201a and is conveyed to the second carton cutting station. When it flows to the designated position, the two clamping conveying parts 2201 clamp and position the carton on the side, and the two second pressing parts 2402 position and clamp the entire carton in the vertical direction. During the movement of the carton, the tips of the four second cutting knives 2304 are inclined with respect to the horizontal plane and cut into the side seam to cut the tape. After the carton cutting action is completed, the carton can be flowed into the next workstation.

[0122] Please refer to the figure. In the second embodiment, the carton processing equipment is arranged in a dispersed manner. Compared with the first embodiment, after the carton flows out of the first carton marking station, it is circulated to the second transfer table 340 by the auxiliary mechanism. The size of the carton is detected by the second measuring device 362. The controller controls the two clamping and conveying parts 2201 to move to the preset position in advance according to the measurement data. At the same time, the transfer clamping parts 350 on the second transfer table 340 pre-position the side of the carton, so that the carton is conveyed to the second carton marking station along the second horizontal direction and on the side of the second transfer table 340.

[0123] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made by utilizing the contents of the present invention's description and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
