[0050] The unpacking frame 400 is provided with a walking assembly 450 located at the top and a gripper assembly 410 connected to the walking assembly 450, and also includes a cutter 440. The gripper assembly 410 includes a main lifting part 1, a shaking part 2, a clamping claw part 4, and a material pushing part 5. The main lifting part 1 is connected to the walking assembly 450 and is used for circulating in the area of ​​the main frame 400 to convey the material bag. The bottom end of the main lifting part 1 is connected to the shaking part 2 and cooperates with the shaking driving member 3 to make the material bag shake and quickly unload the material.

Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the main lifting unit. Fig. 9 This is a schematic diagram of the jitter section. Fig.10 This is a schematic diagram of the clamping jaws. Fig.11 yes Fig.10 Schematic diagram from another angle.

[0059] like Figure 8 As shown, the main lifting part 1 includes a main support cross plate 11, a guide member 12, a main cylinder 13, a connecting block 15, and a connecting plate 16. The main support cross plate 11 spans the top of the main frame 400, and connecting blocks 15 are respectively installed at both ends of the bottom surface of the main support cross plate 11. The connecting blocks 15 at both ends are respectively connected to the walking assembly 450 to realize the reciprocating motion of the gripper assembly 410; the fixed end of the main cylinder 13 is fixed on the main support cross plate 11, and the driving end passes through the main support cross plate 11 and then extends downward and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 16 to drive the connecting plate 16 to move up and down, the sleeve of the guide member 12 is fixed on the connecting plate 16 and passes through the main support cross plate 11, and the telescopic rod of the guide member 12 is fixed on the limit frame 14 and is connected with the sleeve to make the connecting plate 16 rise and fall in the vertical direction.

[0060] The main support cross plate 11 of the present invention spans across the top of the main frame 400 to achieve the movement function. The walking component 450 adopts the form of a motor, a sprocket, and a chain. The connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the chain and cooperates with the guide track to achieve horizontal movement.

[0061] like Fig. 9 As shown, the shaking part 2 includes an L-shaped frame 21, a shaking plate 22, and a hinge shaft 23.

[0062] The right-angle space of the L-shaped frame 21 of the present invention is provided with diagonal braces to enhance the strength. The diagonal braces are located on both sides. The middle space can provide sufficient shaking space for the shaking plate 22 and can accommodate the material pusher 5. After the material bag is caught and cut, the material cannot fall all at once and needs to be shaken. One end of the shaking plate 22 is hinged and the other end is free. The free end can make the material bag shake up and down and shake, which can accelerate the falling of the material.

The jaw shaft 43 is installed on the bottom surface of the shaking plate 22 through a seat bearing 45. The plurality of grabbing teeth 44 are respectively installed on the two jaw shafts 43. When the jaw cylinder 41 is extended or retracted, the action transmission group 42 drives the two jaw shafts 43 to rotate relative to or oppositely, so as to realize the clamping or loosening of the material bag by the plurality of grabbing teeth 44.

[0064] The action transmission group 42 includes a first connecting plate 421, a second connecting plate 422, two third connecting plates 423, and two fourth connecting plates 424.

When the clamping claw cylinder 41 is extended or retracted, it drives the clamping claw shaft 43 to rotate inward or outward, so that the grabbing teeth 44 grab the material bag inward or release it outward.

[0065] The present invention utilizes the transmission of the connecting plate to realize the grasping and releasing operations, which can firstly slow down the speed of the action and be more stable, and secondly replace the clamping claw cylinder to realize grasping, so the effect is better and the cost is lower.

[0066] The multiple grabbing teeth 44 of the present invention are arranged at intervals, so that human fingers can grab the material bag, which makes the grabbing more stable and not easy to drop.

[0067] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the pushing part 5 includes a pushing cylinder 51, a transverse plate 52, and a plurality of pushing plates 53. The fixed end of the pushing cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to the shaking plate 22, and the driving end passes through the shaking plate 22 and is connected to the transverse plate 52. The plurality of pushing plates 53 are fixed on the transverse plate 52 at intervals and are spaced apart by a grabbing tooth 44.

[0068] The push plate and the grab teeth of the present invention are arranged crosswise with each other, which not only meets the requirements of grabbing, but also meets the requirements of pushing, saves space, reduces the volume and occupied area of ​​the gripper assembly, and makes the whole device compact and easy to use.

[0069] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main frame is also provided with a hopper 430 for receiving materials, and the discharge line 500 includes an inclined conveyor belt 510 and a silo 520. The conveying direction of the inclined conveyor belt 510 is from bottom to top, which is convenient for conveying to the silo 520. The inclined angle of the inclined conveyor belt 510 is 13°.

[0070] The cutter 440 cooperates with components such as a motor and a seat bearing to realize the rotation function of the cutter.

[0071] It also includes a detection group, including a first photoelectric switch 601, a second photoelectric switch 602, a third photoelectric switch 603, a fourth photoelectric switch 604, and a fifth photoelectric switch 605; the first photoelectric switch 601 is a plurality of first photoelectric switches 601 respectively installed on the low-level feeding line 200 for detecting the presence of materials, and adjacent first photoelectric switches 601 are interlocked; the second photoelectric switch 602 is installed on the low-feed and high-feeding line 300, and stops conveying when a material bag is detected, and feeds back a signal to the gripper assembly 410, waiting for grasping; the third photoelectric switch 603 is installed at the front of the main frame 400 for detecting the bottom of the material bag, and after detecting that the material bag is separated from the third photoelectric switch 603, the material bag is slowly moved to the cutting position; the fourth photoelectric switch 604 is installed in front of the cutter 440 for detecting the head of the material bag, and after detecting the head of the material bag, the material bag is slowly lifted up for cutting; the fifth photoelectric switch 605 is installed at the rear of the cutter 440 for detecting the tail of the material bag, and after detecting the tail of the material bag, the material bag is slowly lowered for cutting.
