Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automatic box opening, and in particular to an automatic box opening device and method for a smart safe deposit box. Background Art

[0002] The technology involved in the present invention is a sub-field of the broad field of material assembly automation, and is specifically mainly used in the specific scenario of a bank vault. Its core function is to automatically open the smart cash boxes that come from the assembly line during the vault's automated cash distribution process, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of the operation.

[0003] The traditional vault material assembly adopts a manual operation mode, especially the padlock structure of the ordinary cash box, which has many disadvantages for the realization of automatic cash distribution. Since the intelligent cash box has been vigorously promoted in banks, it has provided favorable conditions for the automatic unpacking and cash distribution. The device of the present invention replaces the manual opening action, bringing a systematic improvement to the automatic assembly of materials in the bank cash warehouse. At present, there are many automatic unpacking solutions in the existing factory production automation market, but they are mainly applied to traditional cartons, that is, carton unpacking machines or carton forming machines. Generally, the cartons are folded and stored using the foldable nature of the parallelogram. When in use, the unpacking device is used to open the board surface of the carton. The present invention is applied to the field of bank vault storage automation. It has a unique storage device in the industry. The traditional unpacking solution is not suitable for this scenario. This solution combines the special structure of the bank cash box and has significant advantages and innovations in many aspects, which can better meet the needs of automated material assembly in the bank cash warehouse. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention solves the technical problems by adopting a technical solution: an automatic box opening device for a smart cash box in a safe, comprising: a roller conveying device, a smart cash box is arranged on the top of the roller conveying device, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the roller conveying device, and a box opening device is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing plate; The box opening device includes a vertical moving cylinder, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a horizontal moving cylinder, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a rotary moving cylinder, and the output end of which is fixedly connected to a rotating handle. According to the height information of the cash box provided by the system, the vertical moving cylinder is controlled to adjust the vertical stroke to suit the height of the cash box, and at the same time, the horizontal moving cylinder is adjusted to drive the rotary moving cylinder to move forward to a suitable position.

[0005] The device ensures the accuracy of the suction cup during the opening process for different box sizes by designing a specific cylinder connection structure, a combined transmission mechanism of the active and driven cylinders, and a precise control algorithm.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom end of the vertically movable cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate, and the end of the rotating handle away from the output end of the rotary movable cylinder is fixedly connected to a vacuum suction cup.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that a fixed rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the roller conveyor device, a limit cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod, a block is fixedly connected to the output end of the limit cylinder, and an infrared sensor is fixedly installed on the top of the block. The conveying part is arranged inside the cash distribution line of the vault, above the cash box transmission roller conveyor line, and the smart cash box flows from the previous process to the unpacking device. When the cash box arrives at the unpacking device, the infrared sensor below will detect the arrival signal of the cash box and upload it to the system. After receiving the signal, the system obtains the height dimension information of the cash box, and immediately issues an unpacking instruction to start the unpacking device.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the rotating cylinder drives the handle to rotate at an angle of 90°, and the vacuum suction cup contacts the outer wall of the smart cash box. The rotating cylinder flips 90°, and the vacuum suction cup quickly adsorbs on the upper cover of the cash box and generates sufficient suction to fix the upper cover. Subsequently, the rotating cylinder flips in the reverse direction, and it uses the flipping action to flip the suction cup and the upper cover adsorbed thereon together, thereby realizing the opening of the cash box.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the vertical moving cylinders are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the smart cash box, the outer wall of the fixing plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the smart cash box, and the fixing plate and the limiting cylinder simultaneously limit and fix the cash box transferred to the opening position.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that when the unpacking device is in an idle state, the vertical movable cylinder installed on the fixed plate is in a retracted position, the horizontal movable cylinder installed on the output end of the vertical movable cylinder is in a retracted position, and the limiting cylinder installed on the fixed rod is in a retracted position.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that when the unpacking device is in working state, the vertical movable cylinder installed on the fixed plate is in a pushing state, the horizontal movable cylinder installed on the output end of the vertical movable cylinder is in a pushing state, and the limiting cylinder installed on the fixed rod is in a pushing state.

[0012] An automatic box opening method for a smart cash box in a safe, comprising the following steps: Step S1: The smart cash box is circulated on the roller conveyor line of the safe cash distribution line. When the cash box reaches the opening device position, the infrared sensor installed below detects the smart cash box arrival signal and uploads the signal to the system; Step S2: After receiving the signal that the smart cash box is in place, the system obtains the height and size information of the cash box, and then immediately issues an opening instruction to start the opening device; Step S3: When the unpacking device receives the unpacking instruction, the roller conveyor line stops moving, and the limit cylinder starts to limit the position of the smart box; Step S4: the system controls the vertical moving cylinder to adjust the vertical stroke according to the provided intelligent cash box height information to make it suitable for the cash box height, and the horizontal moving cylinder to adjust the stroke to drive the rotary moving cylinder to move forward to a suitable position; Step S5: After the horizontal moving cylinder is adjusted into place, the rotating moving cylinder is linked to flip, so that the vacuum suction cup is adsorbed on the upper cover of the cash box and generates sufficient suction to fix the upper cover. The rotating moving cylinder flips in the opposite direction to flip the upper cover together, thereby realizing the opening of the smart cash box; Step S6: After the smart box is opened, the vacuum cup releases suction, and at the same time the vertical moving cylinder, the horizontal moving cylinder and the limit cylinder are reset, the roller conveyor device resumes power, and the smart box continues to flow to the batching position to wait for packing.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The automatic box opening device provided in the present invention has excellent efficiency performance. The system controls the simultaneous movement of multiple cylinders, and the efficient design structure greatly improves the box opening efficiency, and can complete a large number of box opening operations in a short time, far exceeding the traditional manual operation method. It is applied in the automatic allocation scheme, providing a strong guarantee for the efficient operation of the bank cash warehouse.

[0014] 2. The present invention takes full account of the need to reduce staffing through its settings, and further improves the automated operation mode, so that the warehouse keeper only needs to complete the pre-set system order summary, equipment startup operation, and monitor the equipment operation status. The application of the present invention further reduces the staffing in the vault system, and invests in more valuable work, improves quality and efficiency, and significantly reduces operating costs.

[0015] 3. The present invention sets a mobile cylinder and adjusts the cylinder movement size in real time according to the cash box data preset by the system, so as to be compatible with the opening of cash boxes of different sizes, and will not encounter the problem of being unable to adsorb and open the box due to size issues. Through a precise control system and advanced technical means, the device can accurately adsorb the upper cover of the cash box and set a suitable rotation point, effectively ensuring the compatibility of the equipment. At the same time, it avoids the additional expenses incurred by the vault due to the need to re-purchase compatible cash boxes due to incompatible cash box sizes. The design of installing it on one side of the cash box roller conveyor line does not affect the linear flow of the entire cash box, has high operating efficiency, and at the same time reduces the occupation of site space, fully considering the limited site size of the bank vault.

[0016] 4. The present invention adopts the cylinder as the main control motion mode, and its cost is low in the overall automated large-scale equipment. The bank's fund allocation operation pays great attention to the efficiency and stability of the equipment operation. Within the limited operation time range, the simple structure of the device greatly reduces the probability of failure for the overall system operation, and is easy to maintain. Even if a failure occurs, it is easy to quickly resume production and operation, providing reliable guarantee for the continuous operation of the equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
