Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a carton opening machine technology, in particular to a large carton opening machine. Background Art
[0002] As is known to all, in the packaging industry, unpacking large cartons is an important part of the product packaging process. Existing carton unpacking machines are widely used in packaging production lines for various products to open and assemble folded large cartons to meet product packing needs.
[0003] The shortcomings of the existing technology are that, on the one hand, some carton openers lack an effective straightening and positioning mechanism for large cartons that are placed on the equipment and have angled or positional deviations when processing large cartons. When the carton is offset, subsequent carton erection and unpacking operations are prone to problems. For example, the position of the carton after erection is inaccurate, which affects the subsequent assembly of the ground cover and top cover, and reduces production efficiency and packaging quality. On the other hand, during the carton erection process, there is a high degree of dependence on components such as the vacuum generator. If you rely solely on the vacuum generator to erect the carton, not only will the energy consumption of the equipment increase, but when the carton is large in size, heavy in weight, or the surface material is not conducive to vacuum adsorption, the vacuum generator may not be able to stably grasp the carton, resulting in failure to erect the carton or even damage to the carton. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a large carton opening machine to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: including: a panel structure, a ground cover structure, an upper cover structure and a finished product line structure, and also including:

[0008] The auxiliary structure is rotatably mounted on one side of the flip frame. When the flip side plate flips from a flat state to an upright state, the flip side plate straightens the large cardboard box placed on the surface with an angle deflection, and at the same time assists in clamping and fixing the large cardboard box during the flipping process of the flip frame.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: multiple groups of bottom plates are independently installed on the inner bottom of the flip frame, and the bottom plates of one group at the edge are arranged in a U shape, with half of the bottom being hollow and the other half being closed.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: a slider is fixedly installed at the bottom of the push plate, and the slider is slidably connected in a slide rail, and the slide rail is opened on the inner side wall of the flip side plate.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution: auxiliary wheels are rotatably installed on both sides of the interference rod, and the interference rod is disc-shaped and slidably connected in the interference groove.

[0020] 2. Reduced Vacuum Dependence: The flip side panels reduce the workload of the vacuum generator in the upper carton erection mechanism during both the flattening and erecting processes, and in some cases, even eliminate the need for a vacuum generator. The upper vacuum generator only needs to lift the carton a short distance and then separate. The carton is then clamped and erected by the flip side panels in conjunction with the fixed side panels, reducing reliance on the vacuum generator and improving the adaptability of the equipment.
[0021] 3. Auxiliary clamping and fixing: During the process of flipping and erecting the side panels, the suction cup of the vacuum generator extends to contact the side of the carton through a series of actions of the resistance structure. At the same time, the folding plate is ejected from the folding groove to squeeze, straighten and clamp the carton, and cooperate with the fixed side panels to achieve a more stable clamping and fixing of the carton, ensuring the stability of the carton during the unpacking process.
[0022] 4. Efficient structural coordination: The multiple structural parts within each structure, such as the enclosure structure, ground cover structure, upper cover structure and finished product launch structure, cooperate with each other. From the deployment of the enclosure, the assembly of the ground cover and upper cover to the transportation of the finished product online, the entire unpacking process is coherent and smooth, which improves the efficiency and automation of the unpacking operation.

After the motors stop, the ear folding cylinders extend to ensure a 90-degree flip.
[0056] S3: The upper cover structure 3 is used to determine the upper cover of the large carton and assemble and fix it with the unfolded panels;

[0062] Flipping mechanism: The motor drives the shaft to rotate through the shaft transmission, and the canopy is controlled by the suction cup 11 and the cylinder to ensure that the canopy posture remains unchanged during the flipping process.
[0063] Lid-lifting mechanism: The X-axis module drives the slider 26 through the shaft drive, which drives the suction cup 11 gripper to move above the material frame. The electric cylinder drives the gripper down to the designated position, and the vacuum generator 7 triggers the vacuum to suck up the lid and move it to the unloading station.
[0064] S4: Finished product on-line structure 4 transports the opened and assembled large cartons for use on-line;
[0065] During this process, multiple structural parts are arranged in the finished product on-line structure 4 to cooperate with each other, specifically including:

[0072] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, the other end of the push plate 19 is fixedly connected to a resistance block 23, and the end face of the resistance block 23 is connected to the inner wall of the flip side plate 10 through a reset spring 21. The resistance block 23 is slidably resisted and connected in the limit groove 31. The limit groove 31 is correspondingly opened at both ends of the bottom of the vacuum generator 7. The bottom of the vacuum generator 7 is connected to the inner wall of the flip side plate 10 through a compression spring 32. A suction cup 11 is fixedly installed on the surface of the vacuum generator 7. The suction cup 11 is telescopically installed in the through groove 12. The through groove 12 is opened at the top inner side of the flip side plate 10.
[0073] In another embodiment of the present invention, a slider 26 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the push plate 19 , and the slider 26 is slidably connected in the slide rail 18 , and the slide rail 18 is opened on the inner wall of the flip side plate 10 .
[0074] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, auxiliary wheels 28 are rotatably installed on both sides of the resistance rod 27. The resistance rod 27 is disc-shaped and slidingly connected to the resistance groove 30. Both ends of the auxiliary wheels 28 pass through both sides of the resistance rod 27 and contact the two side walls of the resistance groove 30, thereby improving the stability of the resistance rod 27 sliding in the resistance groove 30.
[0075] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, a pulley 24 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the limiting groove 31 , and the pulley 24 is rollingly connected to the surface of the abutment block 23 .
[0076] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, the resistance block 23 is in the shape of a right-angled trapezoid, and the inclined surface of the resistance block 23 corresponds to the top side of the flip side panel 10. During the adjustment process from the flat state to the upright state, the flip frame 5 pushes the push plate 19 to slide toward the top of the flip side panel 10, and slides the plane position of the inclined top of the resistance block 23 to the position of the limit groove 31.
[0077] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, preferably, a vacuum generator 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed side plate 8.
[0078] After the erection mechanism in the enclosure structure 1 erects the enclosure, the erected enclosure is flipped over by the flipping mechanism. During this process, the auxiliary structure provides auxiliary positioning function for the folded carton enclosure placed on the surface of the bottom plate 9 during the erection process;
[0079] After the feeding mechanism places the folded carton on the surface of the bottom plate 9, the folded carton is erected and unfolded by the box erecting mechanism. However, when the feeding mechanism places the folded carton, if the carton placed on the surface of the bottom plate 9 has position deviation, directly using the erecting mechanism to unfold and erect the carton will cause the carton to deviate after being erected, and the trajectory setting of the erecting mechanism is generally relatively fixed. When the folded carton deflects greatly, the erecting mechanism is likely to tear and damage the carton due to the angle problem when erecting it. Therefore, an auxiliary structure is needed to assist in straightening the deviated carton.
[0080] The flip side panel 10 also plays the following roles in the process of flipping from flat to upright:
[0081] Function 1: In the process of being laid flat and erected, the flip side panel 10 can guide and straighten the folded carton that has been deflected during the erection process: when the folded carton is offset at an angle, as the flip side panel 10 is erected and the carton is erected, the carton that is in contact with the bottom plate 9 is guided and straightened. When the carton is offset, the carton surface that should have been in contact with the bottom plate 9 contacts the flip side panel 10. Then, the erection of the flip side panel 10 will guide the carton downward due to the angle generated when the flip side panel 10 is flipped, and the side of the carton that should have been in contact with the bottom plate 9 contacts the surface of the bottom plate 9 for straightening.
[0082] Function 2: The setting of the flip side panel 10 can reduce the work of the vacuum generator 7 in the upper box erecting mechanism during the flattening and erecting process, and even eliminate the need for the vacuum generator 7 to erect the carton. When the flip side panel 10 is provided, the vacuum generator 7 provided above for erecting the carton only needs to erect the carton a small distance, and then separate from the carton. The subsequent erection of the carton can rely on the increase in the angle of the flip side panel 10 and the clamping of the fixed side panel 8 to clamp and erect the carton. The increase in the erection angle of the flip side panel 10 can also cause the carton to be squeezed by the gap between the flip side panel 10 and the fixed side panel 8 on the other side under the effect of function 1, thereby squeezing and erecting the folded carton.
[0083] Function three: When the flip side plate 10 is flipped and erected during the process of erecting the box, the angle of the flip side plate 10 itself can be adjusted to assist in straightening and positioning the carton that has angled deflection during the loading process of the feeding mechanism. The specific working principle is as follows:
[0084] After the feeding mechanism places the carton on the surface of the bottom plate 9, since the carton generally overlaps with two surfaces when folding, the area of the folded carton that contacts the ground is generally the two surfaces of the carton. Therefore, after the folded carton is placed on the surface of the bottom plate 9, the box erecting mechanism contacts one surface above the carton through the suction cup 11 on the vacuum generator 7, and then stands up the carton. At the same time, the transmission rod 17 is inserted into the flip side plate 10 and fixedly connected to the fixed rod 15 to turn the flip side plate 10 up synchronously with the box erecting mechanism. The inner ends of the surface of a group of bottom plates 9 on which the flip side plates 10 are installed are fixed by the sleeve rod 29 and the triangular blocks 16 on both sides of the flip side plate 10 are not rotated. As the flip side panel 10 rotates, it will be fixed on both sides of the inside of the flip side panel 10, and at the same time, a force of resistance will be generated between the bottom ends of the push plates 19 slidingly arranged on both sides of the flip side panel 10 and the triangular blocks 16, thereby pushing the push plate 19 toward the top of the flip side panel 10. The resistance rod 27 fixedly installed on the end surface of the bottom block 22 at the bottom end of the push plate 19 is slidably connected to the resistance groove 30 opened on one side of the triangular block 16 through the auxiliary wheel 28. Due to the limitation of the resistance rod 27 by the size of the triangular block 16 itself, the push plate 19 will be pushed forward inside the flip side panel 10 during the process of flipping the flip side panel 10 from a flat state to an upright state. During the pushing process of the push plate 19, the movement of the push plate 19 is transmitted outward in two directions:
[0085] The first direction: when the push plate 19 is pushed, the bottom is slidably connected to the slide rail 18 opened on the inner wall of the flip side plate 10 through the slider 26, and the resistance block 23 with a right-angled trapezoidal shape and the oblique side facing outward is pushed forward, and the resistance block 23 slides forward in the limiting grooves 31 opened at both ends of the bottom of the vacuum generator 7, and the inclined surface of the resistance block 23 slides in the limiting groove 31 and gradually contacts the highest position of the top with the limiting groove 31. The pulley 24 provided in the limiting groove 31 will provide an auxiliary effect for the sliding of the resistance block 23 in the limiting groove 31. When the resistance block 23 in the limiting groove 31 switches from sliding on the inclined surface to contacting the limiting groove 31 at the highest point, the vacuum generator 7 is limited by the size of the resistance block 23 in the flip side plate 10 and is pushed upward, thereby pushing the suction cup 11 out of the through groove 12 to contact the side of the carton, thereby fixing and clamping the carton;
[0086] The second direction: the surface of the push plate 19 is connected to the top plate 25 through the rotating shaft 20. One end of the top plate 25 is connected to the rotating shaft 20 and the other end is connected to one end of the folding plate 14 through a hinge. The other end of the folding plate 14 is also connected to the inner wall of the folding groove 13 through a hinge. Therefore, when the push plate 19 is pushed to the top, the push plate 19 will move the bottom end of the top plate 25 forward with its own displacement, thereby gradually pushing the top plate 25 from the inclined state to the vertical state between the folding plate 14. In this process, the top plate 25 will be The folding plate 14 is pushed outward from the folding groove 13, thereby squeezing, straightening and clamping the gradually standing carton, and at the same time cooperating with the vacuum generator 7 and the suction cup 11 that pop out in the first direction to fix the outside of the carton. Since the vacuum generator 7 and the suction cup 11 pop out from the flip side panel 10 and there is a certain distance between them and the inner side of the flip side panel 10, during the flipping process, the folding plate 14 protruding outward from the inner side of the flip side panel 10 replaces the inner side of the flip side panel 10 to contact the carton surface, providing a clamping and fixing effect.
[0087] After the carton is erected, the turned carton is turned over by the turning mechanism in cooperation with the clamping mechanism under the action of the driving structure to the next step for installation of the ground cover and the upper cover. At this time, the turning mechanism turns the turning frame over and resets it, and during the turning and resetting process, the turning side plate is also reset and flattened as the transmission rod turns over. In this process, the push plate is reset under the action of the reset spring, and the folding plate is folded back into the folding groove. At the same time, the suction cup and vacuum generator arranged on the inner side of the turning side plate are retracted into the through groove under the action of the compression spring for use in the standing of the next carton.
[0088] The above description is merely illustrative of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It goes without saying that those skilled in the art will be able to modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims.
