[0039] The following description is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the above description is for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.

[0040] The present invention provides a feeding unit 100, which is installed in an automatic unpacking device. Figure 1-Figure 14 .

[0041] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The feeding unit 100 includes a receiving bin 10, a lifter 20, a first air knife 30, a second air knife 40 and a controller; wherein the receiving bin 10 is used to receive ton bags 200, and the receiving bin 10 includes a mounting wall 11 and a bottom wall 12; the lifter 20 is received in the receiving bin 10, and the lifter 20 is used to lift the ton bag 200; the first air knife 30 and the second air knife 40 are arranged on the mounting wall 11 at intervals along the height direction X of the receiving bin 10, and the mounting height of the first air knife 30 relative to the bottom wall 12 is higher than the mounting height of the second air knife 40 relative to the bottom wall 12; the controller is used to control the first air knife 30 and the second air knife 40 to blow air to the ton bag 200 according to the height of the ton bag 200 relative to the bottom wall 12.

[0042] The internal space of the storage bin 10 is in the shape of a cube. The inner wall space of the storage bin 10 is enclosed by the bottom wall 12 and the mounting wall 11. The mounting wall 11 is also the side wall of the storage bin 10, so the number of mounting walls 11 of the storage bin 10 can be four. In a specific embodiment, one of the mounting walls 11 can be used as a door for feeding (ton bags 200), that is, the ton bags 200 enter the storage bin 10 from the side of the storage bin 10. In a specific embodiment, the feeding unit 100 can be placed directly on the ground, so the bottom wall 12 of the storage bin 10 can be connected to the ground; or, the feeding unit 100 can be placed on a workbench, and the bottom wall 12 of the storage bin 10 can be connected to the table top of the workbench.

[0043] The jacking device 20 is received in the receiving bin 10. Specifically, the jacking device 20 can be installed on the bottom wall 12. The jacking device 20 can rise or fall along the height direction X of the receiving bin 10. It should be noted that the height direction X of the receiving bin 10 refers to the direction perpendicular to the ground when the feeding unit 100 is placed on the ground; or the direction perpendicular to the table surface when the feeding unit 100 is placed on the workbench.

[0044] The first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 are both mounted on the same mounting wall 11. Figure 2 , along the height direction X of the storage bin 10, the installation height of the first wind knife 30 relative to the bottom wall 12 is higher than the installation height of the second wind knife 40 relative to the bottom wall 12, and the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 are arranged at intervals. In a specific embodiment, the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 can extend or extend obliquely along the width direction Y of the installation wall 11. It should be noted that the width direction Y of the installation wall 11 is perpendicular to the height direction X mentioned above, and the installation wall 11 can be a rectangle, so the height direction X mentioned above is the long side direction of the installation wall 11, and the width direction Y mentioned above is the wide side direction of the installation wall 11.

[0045] The controller is arranged inside or outside the storage bin 10, and the controller may include a smart chip or a smart terminal (such as a computer, a mobile phone, a PDA, a wearable device, etc.). The controller may be a device with information collection, processing and connection capabilities, and may realize functions such as intelligent perception, interaction, and big data services. In a specific embodiment, the controller has the ability to control the start and stop of the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40, or the ability to control the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 to change the air volume; the controller also has the ability to receive information about the height of the ton bag 200, and the controller can control the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 according to the height information of the ton bag 200.

[0046] It should be noted that the height of the above-mentioned middle bag 200 refers to the height of the bag 200 compared to the bottom wall 12 after being lifted by the lifter 20. For example, please refer to Figure 3 When the jacking device 20 is not started and returns to the lowest point, the initial distance between the table top of the jacking device 20 and the bottom wall 12 is 10 (unit is not limited). After the ton bag 200 enters the storage bin 10 and is placed on the jacking device 20, the height Hs of the ton bag 200 is equal to the distance Ht between the table top of the jacking device 20 and the bottom wall 12 plus the height Hd of the ton bag 200 itself, that is, Hs=Ht+Hd. The controller controls the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 according to the size of Hs.

[0047] The feeding unit 100 provided by the present invention is applied to the automatic unpacking equipment, mainly to perform air-shower cleaning on the ton bag 200 before the ton bag 200 is disassembled; by setting the receiving bin 10, the air-showering link of the ton bag 200 can be kept in an independent and closed environment, and the dust generated during the air-showering process will not float away, which is convenient for centralized treatment in the receiving bin 10, and the air flow stability of the air-showering in the receiving bin 10 is relatively high, and the air-showering cleaning effect is better; by setting the jacking device 20, on the one hand, it is used to transfer the ton bag 200 to the lower unit for post-processing, and on the other hand, the jacking device 20 lifts the ton bag 20 0 movement, so that all surfaces of the ton bag 200 can be cleaned more comprehensively, avoiding the situation where only partial blowing and cleaning can be performed; by setting the first air knife 30 and the second air knife 40, and using the controller to control the first air knife 30 and the second air knife 40, not only the blowing efficiency is improved, but also the intelligence of the blowing ton bag 200 can be improved. The first air knife 30 and the second air knife 40 are arranged at intervals X along the height direction of the receiving bin 10, which can also comprehensively blow the side and top surface of the ton bag 200, thereby reducing the dust on the outside of the packaging bag of the ton bag 200 during the unpacking process and reducing the impact of flying dust on the machine.

[0048] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 2, the extension direction of the first wind knife 30 is parallel to the width direction Y of the installation wall 11, or the extension direction of the first wind knife 30 intersects with the width direction Y of the installation wall 11, and the second wind knife 40 is parallel to or has an angle with the first wind knife 30. In a specific embodiment, the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 are both long strips, and the extension direction of the first wind knife 30 is parallel to the width direction Y of the installation wall 11, so that the first wind knife 30 can blow out wind parallel to the width direction Y of the installation wall 11, and the second wind knife 40 can be parallel to the first wind knife 30. In other embodiments, the first wind knife 30 can be installed obliquely on the installation wall 11, and the second wind knife 40 can be parallel to the first wind knife 30. In other embodiments, the extension direction of the first wind knife 30 is parallel to the width direction Y of the installation wall 11, and the second wind knife 40 can be installed obliquely on the installation wall 11. The present invention can ensure that the combination of the first air knife 30 and the second air knife 40 can cover a wider shower range by setting the extension direction of the first air knife 30 and the second air knife 40 and the setting angles thereof, thereby further improving the shower effect.

[0049] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 4 , the air outlet direction of the first wind knife 30 has an angle with the mounting wall 11, and along the height direction X of the storage bin 10, the first wind knife 30 blows air from bottom to top toward the ton bag 200, and the second wind knife 40 blows air from top to bottom toward the ton bag 200. It should be noted that the structure of the wind knife (including the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40) mainly has an air cavity inside it, and the external airflow enters the air cavity; an air outlet is opened on the side of the wind knife (the thinner position), and the air outlet is connected to the air cavity, and the air outlet extends along the length direction of the wind knife. The air outlet direction of the first wind knife 30 is the direction of the line connecting its air outlet with its back side, such as Figure 4 Shown by the dashed line.

[0050] In a specific embodiment, the air outlet direction and the installation wall 11 have an angle α, and the angle α is 0° to 90°, so that the first air knife 30 blows air from bottom to top to the ton bag 200, and the second air knife 40 blows air from top to bottom to the ton bag 200. When the height of the ton bag 200 is lower than the second air knife 40, the top surface of the ton bag 200 is located below the second air knife 40, and the second air knife 40 can blow air to the top surface of the ton bag 200. Therefore, in the process of the ton bag 200 rising, the air outlet of the second air knife 40 faces the side of the ton bag 200. When the height of the ton bag 200 is higher than the second air knife 40, the top surface of the ton bag 200 exceeds the air outlet of the second air knife 40, and the air outlet of the second air knife 40 faces the side of the ton bag 200. The present invention sets the first air knife 30 and the second air knife 40 to have an angle with the installation wall 11, so that the second air knife 40 installed at a lower position can blow air from top to bottom to the ton bag 200, which can not only blow the side of the ton bag 200, but also blow the top surface of the ton bag 200 to reduce the dust on the top of the ton bag 200. In addition, the first air knife 30 can also blow the bottom surface of the ton bag when blowing upwards, reducing the dust at the bottom of the ton bag 200. The air outlet directions of the first air knife 30 and the second air knife 40 do not intersect, so the airflows of the two will not interfere with each other, ensuring the stability of the air shower.

[0051] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 4 , the first wind knife 30 and / or the second wind knife 40 are rotatably mounted on the mounting wall 11. Specifically, the first wind knife 30 can rotate around the first axis P1, and the second wind knife 40 can rotate around the second axis P2, wherein the first axis P1 is a straight line parallel to the extension direction of the first wind knife 30, and the second axis P2 is a straight line parallel to the extension direction of the second wind knife 40. In a specific embodiment, the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 are both parallel to the width direction Y of the mounting wall 11. The first wind knife 30 rotates around the first axis P1 parallel to the width direction Y, thereby realizing up and down swinging relative to the mounting wall 11, that is, the first wind knife 30 can blow air from top to bottom to the ton bag 200, or from bottom to top to the ton bag 200, or horizontally to the ton bag 200. Of course, the second wind knife 40 rotating around the second axis P2 parallel to the width direction Y can also achieve the above function. The controller controls the first wind knife 30 and / or the second wind knife 40 to rotate and blow air toward the ton bag 200 according to the height of the ton bag 200 compared to the bottom wall 12. The present invention sets the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 to be rotatable, and the controller controls the rotation angle of the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40, so that the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 can blow different surfaces of the ton bag 200 according to the height of the ton bag 200.

[0052] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 5, the number of the first wind knives 30 is multiple, and the multiple first wind knives 30 are arranged at intervals along the height direction X of the receiving bin 10, and the multiple first wind knives 30 are parallel or at least two first wind knives 30 have an angle. In a specific embodiment, the number of the first wind knives 30 can be 2 to 5, and the multiple first wind knives 30 are arranged at equal intervals along the height direction X of the receiving bin 10. Optionally, all the first wind knives 30 are parallel to the width direction Y of the installation wall 11; or, at least one first wind knife 30 intersects with the width direction Y of the installation wall 11, that is, it is installed obliquely on the installation wall 11.

[0053] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 5 , the number of the second wind knives 40 is multiple, and the multiple second wind knives 40 are arranged at intervals along the height direction X of the receiving bin 10, and the multiple second wind knives 40 are parallel or at least two second wind knives 40 have an angle. In a specific embodiment, the number of the second wind knives 40 can be 2 to 5, and the multiple second wind knives 40 are arranged at equal intervals along the height direction X of the receiving bin 10. Optionally, all the second wind knives 40 are parallel to the width direction Y of the installation wall 11; or, at least one second wind knife 40 intersects with the width direction Y of the installation wall 11, that is, it is installed obliquely on the installation wall 11.

[0054] In one embodiment, the number of the second air knife 40 is multiple, and the first air knife 30 can be one; or, the number of the first air knife 30 is multiple, and the second air knife 40 can be one. It can be understood that when the height of the ton bag 200 exceeds all the first air knives 30, the first air knife 30 is also mainly used to blow the side of the ton bag 200, and the first air knife 30 performs the same task as the second air knife 40, so the number of the first air knife 30 can be set to one, which can facilitate the control of the controller and reduce costs. The present invention can further improve the blowing efficiency by setting the number of the first air knife 30 and / or the second air knife 40 to be multiple, and can also achieve the effect of facilitating the control of the controller and reducing costs.

[0055] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 6, the length of the first wind knife 30 is A1, the length of the second wind knife 40 is A2, the size of the ton bag 200 in the length direction of the first wind knife 30 is B1, and the size of the ton bag 200 in the length direction of the second wind knife 40 is B2, satisfying: 0.7≤A1 / B1≤2, 0.7≤A2 / B2≤2. Optionally, A1 / B1 can be 0.7, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2; A2 / B2 can be 0.7, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2. The present invention controls the size ratio of the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 to the size of the ton bag 200, so that the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 can be blown to the side, top and bottom surfaces of the wind knife as much as possible in the width direction Y, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0056] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 There are multiple installation walls 11, which together enclose the receiving space of the receiving bin 10. At least one installation wall 11 is provided with a first air knife 30 and a second air knife 40.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the ton bag 200 enters the storage bin along the thickness direction Z, and after the ton bag 200 is lifted up and hooked by the fishing device, it continues to leave the storage bin in the thickness direction Z. Therefore, the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 can be set only on the installation wall of the bin door, and one wind knife (the first wind knife 30 or the second wind knife 40) is set on the other three installation walls. This not only ensures that the six sides of the ton bag 200 are blown, but also the side where the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 are installed can be used to achieve continuous blowing of the ton bag 200.

[0058] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 7 The multiple mounting walls 11 include a first mounting wall 111 and a second mounting wall 112 which are arranged opposite to each other in the thickness direction Z, the first wind knife 30 on the first mounting wall 111 and the first wind knife 30 on the second mounting wall 112 are parallel and opposite to each other in the thickness direction Z, the second wind knife 40 on the first mounting wall 111 and the second wind knife 40 on the second mounting wall 112 are parallel and opposite to each other in the thickness direction Z; or, the orthographic projection of the first wind knife 30 on the first mounting wall 111 on the second mounting wall 112 is located between the first wind knife 30 and the second wind knife 40 on the second mounting wall 112.

In other embodiments, the orthographic projection of the first wind knife 30 on the first installation wall 111 on the second installation wall 112 is located between two adjacent first wind knives 30 on the second installation wall 112, and the orthographic projection of the second wind knife 40 on the first installation wall 111 on the second installation wall 112 is located between two adjacent second wind knives 40 on the second installation wall 112.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8The feeding unit 100 further includes a windshield shell 60, which is connected to the mounting wall 11. The windshield shell 60 is arranged on the periphery of the first wind knife 30 and / or the second wind knife 40. The windshield shell 60 is provided with an air shower port 61, and the air outlet of the first wind knife 30 and / or the second wind knife 40 is connected with the air shower port 61. The present invention not only avoids the influence of dust on the wind knife by arranging the windshield shell 60 on the periphery of the wind knife, but also protects the wind knife, and avoids the interference of the ton bag 200 with the wind knife due to the excessive volume; at the same time, the windshield shell 60 can also play the role of guiding and sealing, improve the stability of the airflow blown out by the wind knife, reduce the dispersion of the airflow, and ensure the largest possible airflow and more accurate airflow to shower the ton bag 200.

[0063] The shape of the windshield shell 60 can be a long strip, and the extension length of the windshield shell 60 is not less than the extension length of the wind knife, so that it can be covered on the periphery of the wind knife. Fig. 9 The outer peripheral contour of the windshield shell 60 can be a hexahedron. The windshield shell 60 includes an air outlet baffle 6001, side baffles 6002, a top baffle 6003 and a bottom baffle 6004, wherein there are two side baffles 6002, which are connected to the two ends of the air outlet baffle 6001 that are away from each other, and the two side baffles 6002 are relatively arranged along the width direction Y of the installation wall 11; the top baffle 6003 and the bottom baffle 6004 are both connected to the air outlet baffle 6001, and the two are relatively arranged along the height direction X of the installation wall 11; no other baffles are arranged in the direction opposite to the air outlet baffle 6001 to form an opening, and the wind knife can be placed into the space enclosed by the windshield shell 60 from the opening. The air outlet baffle 6001 is provided with an air shower port 61, and the air outlets of the first air knife 30 and / or the second air knife 40 face the air outlet baffle 6001, so that the air outlets of the air knives are connected with the air shower port 61, and air is blown outward through the air shower port 61. The side baffle 6002 is provided with a pipeline port, and the gas pipeline extends into the wind shield shell 60 through the pipeline port to connect with the air knives.

[0064] The windshield shell 60 is arranged on a side of the mounting wall 11 facing the ton bag 200, specifically, the wind baffle 6001 faces the ton bag 200. In a specific embodiment, the arrangement of the windshield shell 60 and the mounting wall 11 includes that the wind baffle 6001 protrudes from the mounting wall 11. Among them, the way that the wind baffle 6001 protrudes from the mounting wall 11 can be that the windshield shell 60 is hung on the wall surface of the mounting wall 11, so that there is no need to open an additional opening on the mounting wall 11 to adapt the windshield shell 60, and only a hook or other fixing parts are provided on the mounting wall 11 to fix the windshield shell 60, thereby ensuring the integrity of the mounting wall 11. In addition, the way that the wind baffle 6001 protrudes from the mounting wall 11 can also be that the windshield shell 60 is clamped on the mounting wall 11, and an opening adapted to the windshield shell 60 is opened on the mounting wall 11, and the windshield shell 60 is passed through the opening and clamped thereby. The air outlet baffle 6001 protrudes from the installation wall 11 so that the air outlet of the wind knife is closer to the ton bag 200, which can reduce the problem of wind dispersion or wind weakening during the air shower process and achieve a better air shower effect.

[0065] In other embodiments, the windshield shell 60 and the mounting wall 11 are arranged in a manner that the air outlet baffle 6001 does not protrude from the mounting wall 11. The manner in which the air outlet baffle 6001 does not protrude from the mounting wall 11 can be that the air outlet baffle 6001 and the mounting plate are parallel and aligned along the height direction X, so that the surface where the mounting wall 11 is located approaches a complete plane, and there is no protruding or recessed part due to the installation of the windshield shell 60, so that dust can be prevented from being deposited in the gap of the protruding or recessed part, reducing the difficulty of cleaning. At the same time, the air outlet baffle 6001 does not protrude from the mounting wall 11, so that the gas pipeline can be arranged on the side of the mounting wall 11 facing away from the ton bag 200, and the gas pipeline will not be exposed to ensure the safety of the pipeline; moreover, the air outlet baffle 6001 does not protrude from the mounting wall 11 and will not interfere with the ton bag 200. In the case where the volume of the ton bag 200 is too large, the windshield shell 60 will not block the lifting line of the ton bag 200.

The present invention provides a windshield member 62 in the windshield shell 60, and uses the windshield member 62 to divide the space inside the windshield shell 60 into two, so that the airflow blown out by the wind knife is compressed in the first space 601, and the gas dispersion is reduced. The gas in the first space 601 can also flow outward along the wind direction of the wind knife, so that the airflow is concentrated and the showering efficiency is increased; and the windshield shell 60 can form a stable airflow path to avoid frequent changes in air pressure in the windshield shell to generate noise. The windshield member can also be as follows Fig.12 Setting to prevent airflow from directly impacting the inner wall of the windshield shell, further reducing wind noise.

[0068] In the specific embodiment, please refer to Fig.10 , the wind shield 62 can be in the shape of a plate, and the wind shield 62 can be arranged at a relative interval with the above-mentioned air outlet baffle 6001, so that the wind shield 62 divides the internal space of the wind shield shell 60 into a first space 601 and a second space 602.

The present invention also provides the first guide member 64 in the windshield shell 60, and the first guide surface 641 and the second guide surface 642 formed by the first guide member 64 can be used to guide the airflow blown out of the wind knife, thereby improving the efficiency of the airflow blown out from the air shower port 61, so as to prevent the wind blown out of the wind knife from being blocked by the air outlet baffle 6001 and dispersing. In a specific embodiment, the first guide member 64 can be combined with the windshield member 62 into one.

The detector can be arranged in the storage bin 10, and the detector can include a resistive sensor, a laser sensor, a photosensitive sensor, a visual sensor, a displacement sensor, an ultrasonic distance sensor, a 24GHz radar sensor, etc. In a specific embodiment, the detector is used to detect the height of the ton bag 200, that is, the height Hs provided in the above embodiment.

[0077] The present invention also provides a control method for a material unit, which is applied to the feed unit provided in the above embodiment, please refer to Fig.14 .

[0078] In one embodiment, the control method of the feeding unit specifically includes the following steps:

[0079] Step S100, controlling the jacking device to lift the ton bag.

[0080] Step S200, controlling the first wind knife and the second wind knife to blow air toward the ton bag according to the height of the ton bag compared to the bottom wall.

[0081] Among them, when the height of the ton bag compared to the bottom wall is lower than the installation height of the second wind knife compared to the bottom wall, the second wind knife is started to blow air toward the top surface of the ton bag; when the height of the ton bag compared to the bottom wall is higher than the installation height of the first wind knife compared to the bottom wall, the first wind knife is started to blow air toward the bottom surface of the ton bag.

[0082] In a specific embodiment, the installation height of the first wind knife relative to the bottom wall is H1, and the installation height of the second wind knife relative to the bottom wall is H2, and H1>H2. After the ton bag enters the storage bin and is placed on the jack, the height Hs of the ton bag is equal to the distance Ht between the jack table and the bottom wall plus the height Hd of the ton bag itself, that is, Hs=Ht+Hd, and at this time Hs<H2. Therefore, the second wind knife is started to blow air to the top surface of the ton bag, and the first wind knife stops blowing air first.

[0083] The control method of the feeding unit provided by the present invention is mainly used to control the first air knife and the second air knife to blow and shower the ton bag. The start and stop of the first air knife and the second air knife are controlled according to the height of the ton bag compared to the bottom wall, which can improve the blowing efficiency and achieve a comprehensive cleaning effect; moreover, precise control of the first air knife and the second air knife can also reduce the energy consumption of the feeding unit and reduce the situation where the first air knife or the second air knife does useless work.

[0084] In one embodiment, the first wind knife and the second wind knife are controlled to blow air toward the ton bag according to the height of the ton bag compared to the bottom wall, and also includes: when the height of the ton bag compared to the bottom wall is higher than the installation height of the first wind knife compared to the bottom wall; keeping the first wind knife and the second wind knife working; or, keeping the first wind knife working and stopping the second wind knife.

[0085] Among them, when the height of the ton bag compared to the bottom wall is higher than the installation height of the first wind knife compared to the bottom wall, that is, Hs>H1, the control conditions of the first wind knife and the second wind knife can include two types, namely, the first wind knife alone keeps blowing, or both the first wind knife and the second wind knife keep blowing.

[0086] In a specific embodiment, the first wind knife alone can keep blowing air, when the ton bag exceeds the first wind knife, that is, when Ht>H1, the second wind knife can no longer blow air to the ton bag because the ton bag as a whole exceeds the installation height of the second wind knife, so the second wind knife can be stopped. Alternatively, both the first wind knife and the second wind knife keep blowing air, the first wind knife can blow the bottom surface of the ton bag, and the second wind knife can blow the bottom wall of the storage bin to reduce dust accumulation.

[0087] In one embodiment, there are multiple first air knives, and keeping the first air knives working includes: starting multiple first air knives in sequence along the height direction of the ton bag; or, starting multiple first air knives intermittently and alternately. There are at least two control methods for multiple first air knives, namely starting in sequence and starting alternately. It should be noted that starting in sequence means that multiple first air knives are started in sequence in the height direction (from top to bottom or from bottom to top), and starting alternately means that multiple first air knives are not started in order of height, and after one of the first air knives is started, another first air knife can be stopped.

[0088] In a specific embodiment, the multiple first air knives are started in sequence along the height direction of the ton bag, specifically including that the multiple first air knives are started in sequence from bottom to top, and are closed in sequence from bottom to top. The reason for starting in sequence from bottom to top is that, since the ton bag is lifted upward, the bottom surface of the ton bag first passes through the lowest first air knife, and then passes through the other first air knives in sequence, so the lowest first air knife can be started first. Similarly, the reason for closing in sequence from bottom to top is that the distance between the first air knife at a lower position and the ton bag increases, the blowing effect is weakened, and it can be closed first.

[0089] In a specific embodiment, the intermittent alternating start of multiple first air knives specifically includes: the first air knife with the lowest installation position is started and stopped first, then the first air knife with the second lowest installation position is started and stopped later, then the first air knife with the second highest installation position is started and stopped later, and then the first air knife with the highest installation position is started and stopped later. After all the first air knives have been started once, the first air knives can be started and stopped multiple times in the above order to blow and shower the ton bag.

[0090] In one embodiment, there are multiple second air knives, and keeping the second air knives working includes: starting multiple second air knives in sequence along the height direction of the ton bag; or, starting multiple second air knives intermittently and alternately. The control method of the second air knife can refer to the above-mentioned first air knife, and will not be repeated here.

[0091] In one embodiment, the first air knife and the second air knife are controlled to blow air toward the ton bag according to the height of the ton bag compared to the bottom wall, and further comprises:

[0092] When the height of the ton bag compared to the bottom wall is lower than the installation height of the first wind knife compared to the bottom wall, rotate the first wind knife and / or the second wind knife to adjust the air outlet direction of the first wind knife to have an angle α1 with the installation wall, and adjust the air outlet direction of the second wind knife to have an angle α2 with the installation wall.

[0093] When the height of the ton bag compared to the bottom wall is higher than the installation height of the first wind knife compared to the bottom wall, rotate the first wind knife and / or the second wind knife to adjust the air outlet direction of the first wind knife to have an angle α3 with the installation wall, and adjust the air outlet direction of the second wind knife to have an angle α4 with the installation wall.

[0094] In a specific embodiment, the first wind knife and / or the second wind knife are rotatably mounted on the mounting wall. When Hs

[0095] In a specific embodiment, when Hs>H1, the controller can control the first wind knife to rotate around the first axis, so as to blow and shower the side of the big bag. Similarly, the controller can control the second wind knife to rotate around the second axis, so as to blow and shower a larger area of ​​the side of the big bag. Optionally, the size of the angle α3 is 0° to 180°, and the size of the angle α4 is 0° to 180°.

[0096] The present invention also provides an automatic unpacking device, which includes the feeding unit provided in the above embodiment, and also uses the control method of the feeding unit provided in the above embodiment to blow and shower the ton bag.

[0097] ​The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present invention and its core idea.
