Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 A discharge device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the unloading device 100 includes: a housing 1, a bag breaking module and a stirring module. The housing 1 defines a feeding channel 11, and the feeding channel 11 is provided with a feeding port 12. During unloading, the material enters the feeding channel 11 through the feeding port 12.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The bag-breaking module in this embodiment includes a first driving module 4 and a slicing component 5. The first driving module 4 drives the slicing component 5 to move to the feed inlet 12 to puncture the bag. The first driving module 4 can drive the slicing component 5 to puncture the bag, creating a discharge port on the bag. The material inside the bag enters the discharge channel through the discharge port and the feed inlet 12 under the action of gravity.

[0025] It should be noted that a material bag refers to a bag that can store materials, which can be a ton bag, woven bag, composite bag or other bag, and this application does not limit this.

[0026] In related technologies, such as in the field of new energy lithium battery materials, ton bags are commonly used to store materials. A ton bag consists of an outer bag and an inner bag. When unloading materials, the ton bag is first placed in a designated location. Then, the operator sequentially unties the outer bag, breaks open the inner bag, and presses it shut to seal it. The material in the inner bag flows to the inlet of the unloading device by gravity. The pressing and sealing process refers to pressing the outer bag tightly against the inlet to prevent material leakage during unloading.

[0027] The above technical solution requires operators to manually open the inner bag of the ton bag and observe whether the material is blocked through the observation window. If a blockage occurs, the operator needs to open the observation window to intervene and clear the material. This not only poses safety risks but also increases labor costs and increases the risk of material spillage when clearing the material.

[0028] In this embodiment, the unloading device 100 is further provided with a stirring module, which includes a second drive module 6 and a stirring component 7. The second drive module 6 drives the stirring component 7 to move to the feed inlet 12 to stir the material in the bag. If the material becomes blocked at the discharge port during the unloading process, the second drive module 6 can drive the stirring component 7 to stir the material in the bag, assisting in the unloading process. By intervening in the material blockage through the stirring module, not only are labor costs reduced, but the observation window is also eliminated, reducing the risk of material spillage.

[0029] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the unloading device 100 can realize automatic bag breaking operation through the bag breaking module, which improves the safety of the unloading process. The stirring module can intervene in the material blockage, reduce labor costs, and avoid the risk of material spillage. Through the cooperation of the bag breaking module and the stirring module, workers can be freed from dangerous, harsh, and repetitive working environments, ensuring the safety of the workers' operating environment. It also eliminates the waiting and coordination costs of manual operation, making the unloading process smoother and improving unloading efficiency.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7In some embodiments, at least a portion of the slashing element 5 is configured to be retractable in the direction toward the feed inlet 12. Specifically, the slicing element 5 is disposed in the feed channel 11, the feed port 12 is located above the slicing element 5, and at least a portion of the slicing element 5 is configured to be retractable in the vertical direction.

[0031] In some applications, the bottom of the bag is located at the inlet 12. In some applications, the bottom of the bag can even extend into the inlet 12. In other applications, the bottom of the bag is higher than the inlet 12.

[0032] In different application scenarios, the bottom end of the bag and the feed inlet 12 are different. In this embodiment, at least part of the tearing member 5 is configured to be retractable in the direction toward the feed inlet 12, so that the tearing member 5 can be used to tear the bag in different application scenarios, effectively expanding the application range of the unloading device 100 and improving the reliability of the unloading device 100.

[0033] In some specific embodiments, the tearing element 5 is configured to extend at least partially out of the feed inlet 12.

[0034] In this embodiment of the application, when the bottom of the material bag is higher than the inlet 12, the tearing part 5 can also extend to tear the material bag, ensuring smooth unloading and improving the reliability of the unloading device 100.

[0035] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the agitator 7 is configured to be retractable in the direction toward the feed inlet 12.

[0036] In different application scenarios, the bottom end of the material bag and the feed inlet 12 are different. In this embodiment, at least part of the agitator 7 is configured to be retractable in the direction toward the feed inlet 12, so that the agitator 7 can be used to agitate materials in different application scenarios, effectively expanding the applicability of the unloading device 100 and improving the reliability of the unloading device 100.

[0037] In some embodiments, the agitator 7 is configured to extend at least partially out of the feed inlet 12.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the bottom of the material bag is higher than the inlet 12, the agitator 7 can also extend to the discharge port of the material bag to agitate the material, ensuring smooth discharge.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the unloading device 100 is further provided with a support 3 for placing materials, the portion of the support 3 for supporting the material bag being located above the feed inlet 12. The slicing member 5 is configured to extend at least partially out of the feed inlet 12, and the stirring member 7 is configured to extend at least partially out of the feed inlet 12.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the tearing component 5 includes: a first body 51 and a first telescopic part 52. The first body 51 cooperates with the first drive module 4. A first groove is provided in the first body 51. When the first body 51 is installed in the feed channel 11, the first groove extends toward the feed port 12. The first telescopic part 52 is slidably disposed in the first groove. The end of the first telescopic part 52 is formed as a tearing end 523 for piercing the bag.

[0041] Specifically, when the slashing component 5 is not required to work, the first telescopic part 52 is stored in the first groove. When the slashing component 5 is required to work, the first telescopic part 52 slides in the first groove and extends out of the first main body 51 toward the feed inlet 12, so that the slashing end 523 can puncture the material bag. Then the first drive module 4 drives the slashing component 5 to move to cut a discharge port on the broken material bag.

[0042] In this embodiment, the slicing component 5 is retractable, which simplifies the structure of the slicing component 5, reduces the cost of the slicing component 5, and the first telescopic part 52 can be housed in the first main body 51, reducing the overall space occupied by the slicing component 5. This not only helps to reduce the impact of the slicing component 5 on the material flow, but also facilitates the installation of the slicing component 5 on the housing 1, reducing the assembly difficulty of the unloading device 100.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the stirring module includes: a second body 71 and a second telescopic part 72. The second body 71 cooperates with the second drive module 6. A second slide groove is provided in the second body 71. When the second body 71 is installed in the feed channel 11, the second slide groove extends toward the feed port 12. The second telescopic part 72 is slidably disposed in the second slide groove. The end of the second telescopic part 72 is formed as a stirring end 723 for stirring materials.

[0044] Specifically, when the agitator 7 is not required to work, the second telescopic part 72 is stored in the second chute. When the slicing part 5 is required to work, the second telescopic part 72 slides in the second chute and extends out of the second main body 71 toward the feed inlet 12, so that the agitator end 723 can contact the material at the discharge port. Then the second drive module 6 drives the agitator 7 to move to agitate the material.

[0045] In this embodiment, the agitator 7 is retractable, which simplifies its structure and reduces its cost. Furthermore, the second retractable portion 72 can be housed within the second main body 71, reducing the overall space occupied by the agitator 7. This not only helps reduce the impact of the agitator 7 on the downstream material flow but also facilitates the installation of the agitator 7 on the housing 1, reducing the assembly difficulty of the unloading device 100.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first telescopic portion 52 includes a plurality of first telescopic joints, with two adjacent first telescopic joints slidingly engaged to make the length of the first telescopic portion 52 adjustable, and one end of one of the first telescopic joints is formed as a slit end 523.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first telescopic part 52 is constructed to be telescopic, which is beneficial to reduce the length of the first telescopic part 52 when it is in the retracted state, which is beneficial to reduce the size of the first chute and the first main body 51, thereby reducing the overall space occupied by the tearing part 5, and also beneficial to extend the extendable length of the tearing end 523, further expanding the applicability of the unloading device 100.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second telescopic portion 72 includes a plurality of second telescopic joints, with two adjacent second telescopic joints slidingly engaged to make the length of the second telescopic portion 72 adjustable, and one end of one of the second telescopic joints is formed as a stirring end 723.

[0049] In this embodiment, the second telescopic part 72 is constructed to be telescopic, which is beneficial to reducing the length of the second telescopic part 72 when it is in the retracted state, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the second chute and the second main body 71, thereby reducing the overall space occupied by the agitator 7, and also beneficial to extending the extendable length of the agitator end 723, further expanding the applicability of the unloading device 100.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first drive module 4 includes a first air pressure supply module, which is connected to a first slide groove to drive the first telescopic part 52 to extend and retract by adjusting the air pressure in the first slide groove.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 Specifically, the first telescopic part 52 includes two first telescopic joints, namely a first sleeve 521 and a second sleeve 522. The first sleeve 521 is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove. The outer peripheral wall of the bottom end of the first sleeve 521 is sealed to the inner wall of the first sliding groove. The bottom end of the first sleeve 521 is provided with a first stepped surface. The groove opening of the first sliding groove is provided with a second stepped surface. The second stepped surface is adapted to abut against the first stepped surface to restrict the first sleeve 521 from completely disengaging from the first sliding groove.

[0052] The first sleeve 521 is constructed as a hollow structure and communicates with the first sliding groove. The second sleeve 522 is inserted into the first sleeve 521 to slide and engage with the first sleeve 521. The outer peripheral wall of the bottom end of the second sleeve 522 is sealed to the inner wall of the first sleeve 521. The bottom end of the second sleeve 522 is provided with a third stepped surface, and the top end of the first sleeve 521 is also provided with a fourth stepped surface. The fourth stepped surface is adapted to abut against the third stepped surface to prevent the second sleeve 522 from completely disengaging from the first sleeve 521.

[0053] When the slicing component 5 needs to work, the first air pressure supply module delivers compressed gas into the first chute. The gas pushes the first sleeve 521 upward until the second step surface is suitable to abut against the first step surface, and pushes the second sleeve 522 upward until the fourth step surface is suitable to abut against the third step surface. The slicing end 523 extends to the highest point to puncture the material bag. Then the first drive module 4 drives the slicing component 5 to move to cut a discharge port on the broken material bag.

[0054] When the cutting component 5 is not required to work, the first air pressure supply module stops supplying air. The first sleeve 521 falls back into the first slide groove by gravity when there is no air pressure in the slide groove. The second sleeve 522 falls back into the first sleeve 521 by gravity when there is no air pressure in the groove, thus realizing the storage of the first telescopic part 52.

[0055] In this embodiment, the method of driving the first telescopic part 52 to extend and retract is simple, which simplifies the structure of the unloading device 100 and reduces the cost of the unloading device 100.

[0056] In this embodiment, the extension and retraction of the first telescopic part 52 is driven by pneumatic drive. In other embodiments, the extension and retraction of the first telescopic part 52 can also be driven by other structures such as electric push rods and cylinders. This application does not limit this.

[0057] In some embodiments, the second drive module 6 includes a second air pressure supply module, which is connected to the second slide groove to drive the second telescopic part 72 to extend and retract by adjusting the air pressure in the second slide groove.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 Specifically, the second telescopic part 72 includes two second telescopic sections, namely a third sleeve 721 and a fourth sleeve 722. The third sleeve 721 is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove. The outer peripheral wall of the bottom end of the third sleeve 721 is sealed to the inner wall of the second sliding groove. The bottom end of the third sleeve 721 is provided with a fifth step surface. The groove opening of the second sliding groove is provided with a sixth step surface. The sixth step surface is adapted to abut against the fifth step surface to prevent the third sleeve 721 from completely disengaging from the second sliding groove.

[0059] The third sleeve 721 is constructed as a hollow structure and communicates with the first sliding groove. The fourth sleeve 722 is inserted into the third sleeve 721 to slide with the third sleeve 721. The outer peripheral wall of the bottom end of the fourth sleeve 722 is sealed with the inner wall of the third sleeve 721. The bottom end of the fourth sleeve 722 is provided with a seventh step surface, and the top end of the third sleeve 721 is also provided with an eighth step surface. The eighth step surface is adapted to abut against the seventh step surface to prevent the fourth sleeve 722 from completely disengaging from the third sleeve 721.

[0060] When the agitator 7 needs to work, the second air pressure supply module delivers compressed gas into the second chute. The gas pushes the third sleeve 721 upward until the sixth step surface is adapted to abut against the fifth step surface, and pushes the fourth sleeve 722 upward until the eighth step surface is adapted to abut against the seventh step surface. The agitator end 723 extends to the highest point to contact the material at the discharge port. Then the second drive module 6 drives the agitator 7 to move to agitate the material at the discharge port.

[0061] When the stirring component 7 is not required to work, the second air pressure supply module stops supplying air, and the third sleeve 721 falls back into the second sliding groove by gravity under the condition that there is no air pressure in the groove, and the fourth sleeve 722 falls back into the third sleeve 721 by gravity under the condition that there is no air pressure in the groove, thus realizing the storage of the second telescopic part 72.

[0062] In this embodiment, the second telescopic part 72 is telescopic, which simplifies the structure of the unloading device 100 and reduces the cost of the unloading device 100.

[0063] In this embodiment, the extension and retraction of the second telescopic part 72 is driven by pneumatic drive. In other embodiments, the extension and retraction of the second telescopic part 72 can also be driven by other structures such as electric push rods and cylinders. This application does not limit this.

[0064] In some specific embodiments, the unloading device 100 may be equipped with only one air pressure supply module, which can be switched to be connected to the first chute and / or the second chute via a multi-way valve. This application does not limit this. Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the slicing end 523 of the slicing element 5 is conical. In other embodiments, the slicing end 523 of the slicing element 5 may also be blade-shaped, and this application does not limit this.

[0065] In some embodiments, the end face of the stirring end 723 of the stirring member 7 is a plane or a curved surface.

[0066] Because the slicing end 523 needs to puncture the material bag, it needs to be designed with a sharp or pointed structure. The stirring end 723, on the other hand, only needs to stir the material; it only needs to be able to contact the material at the discharge port. In this embodiment, the end face of the stirring end 723 is designed as a flat or curved surface, preventing further damage to the material bag and reducing the likelihood of material bag fragments entering the feed channel 11 along with the material, thus improving the purity of the material.

[0067] In some specific embodiments, the slicing element 5 and the stirring element 7 are configured such that only the slicing end 523 and the stirring end 723 differ in structure.

[0068] The above technical solution enables the slicing component 5 and the stirring component 7 to be connected to the shell 1 in the same way, which is conducive to the rapid assembly of the unloading device 100 as a whole. It also significantly improves the maintainability, production efficiency and life cycle value of the unloading device 100, which not only reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs, but also promotes technological innovation and sustainable development.

[0069] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first body 51 is rotatably disposed on the housing 1.

[0070] For example, one end of the first body 51 is provided with a first rotating shaft 511, which is rotatably connected to the housing 1, and the axis of rotation of the first rotating shaft 511 is arranged in the vertical direction.

[0071] For example, an arc-shaped guide rail is provided inside the housing 1, and the first body 51 slides in cooperation with the guide rail.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first body 51 has a simple mode of operation, is easy to install, and helps to reduce the cost of the unloading device 100.

[0073] In the above embodiments, the first main body 51 is rotatably disposed on the housing 1, so that the movement trajectory of the slicing end 523 when working is an arc. In other embodiments, the first main body 51 can also be movably disposed on the housing 1 in other ways so that the movement trajectory of the slicing end 523 when working is a straight line, a sawtooth line, a curve or other shape. This application does not limit this, but this application prefers an arc running trajectory to adapt to the housing and avoid the feeding channel 11 when not working.

[0074] In some embodiments, the first drive module 4 includes a first drive motor for driving the first body 51 to rotate.

[0075] It should be noted that the first motor can be directly connected to the first body 51 to drive the first body 51 to rotate, or the first motor can drive the first body 51 to rotate through a transmission component such as a gear shaft or a conveyor belt. This application does not limit this.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first drive module 4 has a simple structure, which facilitates its installation and reduces the cost of the unloading device 100.

[0077] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second body 71 is rotatably disposed on the housing 1.

[0078] For example, one end of the second body 71 is provided with a second rotating shaft 711, which is rotatably connected to the housing 1, and the axis of rotation of the second rotating shaft 711 is parallel to the vertical direction.

[0079] For example, an arc-shaped guide rail is provided inside the housing 1, and the second body 71 slides in cooperation with the guide rail.

[0080] In this embodiment, the second body 71 has a simple mode of operation, is easy to install, and helps to reduce the cost of the unloading device 100.

[0081] In the above embodiments, the second body 71 is rotatably disposed on the housing 1, so that the movement trajectory of the stirring end 723 during operation is an arc. In other embodiments, the second body 71 can also be movably disposed on the housing 1 in other ways so that the movement trajectory of the stirring end 723 during operation is a straight line, a sawtooth line, a curve or other shape. This application does not limit this, but this application prefers an arc running trajectory to adapt to the housing and avoid the feeding channel 11 when not in operation.

[0082] In some embodiments, the second drive module 6 includes a second drive motor for driving the second body 71 to rotate.

[0083] It should be noted that the second motor can be directly connected to the second body 71 to drive the second body 71 to rotate, or the second motor can drive the second body 71 to rotate through a transmission component such as a gear shaft or a conveyor belt. This application does not limit this.

[0084] In this embodiment, the structure of the second drive module 6 is simplified, which facilitates the installation of the second drive module 6 and reduces the cost of the unloading device 100.

[0085] In some embodiments, the slicing component 5 is detachably connected to the housing 1 for power connection with the first drive module 4; the stirring component 7 is detachably connected to the housing 1 for power connection with the second drive module 6.

[0086] The above technical solution improves the ease of installation and removal of the shredder 5 and the agitator 7 on the housing 1, facilitates the assembly of the unloading device 100, and also facilitates the maintenance / replacement of the shredder 5 and the agitator 7, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the unloading device 100.

[0087] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the bag-breaking module and / or stirring module have switchable avoidance and working states, as described above. Figure 3 In the avoidance state, in the vertical projection plane, the tearing component 5 and / or the stirring component 7 are located outside the feed inlet 12, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 In the working state, in the vertical projection plane, the slicing end 523 of the slicing component 5 and / or the stirring end 723 of the stirring component 7 are located inside the feed inlet 12.

[0088] For example, when the bag-breaking module is in operation, in the vertical projection plane, the tearing end 523 of the tearing component 5 is located inside the feed inlet 12 to facilitate tearing the bag. When the bag-breaking module is in the avoidance state, in the vertical projection plane, the tearing component 5 is located entirely outside the feed inlet 12 to avoid obstructing the material feeding and to reduce contact between the tearing component 5 and the object, thus extending the service life of the tearing component 5.

[0089] For example, when the mixing module is in operation, in the vertical projection plane, the mixing end 723 of the mixing element 7 is located inside the feed inlet 12 to facilitate mixing the material at the discharge port. When the mixing module is in the avoidance state, in the vertical projection plane, the mixing element 7 is located entirely outside the feed inlet 12 to avoid the mixing element 7 obstructing the material discharge, and also to reduce the contact between the mixing element 7 and the object, thus extending the service life of the mixing element 7.

[0090] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the top of the first body 51 is provided with a first guide surface 512 for guiding the material to move downward.

[0091] Specifically, a first guide surface 512 is provided on both opposite sides of the first main body 51, and a first guide surface 512 is also provided at the top of the first main body 51. The first guide surfaces 512 on both opposite sides of the first main body 51 are downwardly inclined slopes, and the first guide surface 512 at the top of the first main body 51 is an upwardly convex arc surface. The first guide surface 512 at the top of the first main body 51 is connected to the first guide surfaces 512 on both opposite sides of the first main body 51.

[0092] It should be understood that the number of first guide surfaces 512 can also be two, four or other numbers. The first guide surface 512 can be an inclined surface, a curved surface or other shapes, as long as it can guide the material to move downwards. This application does not limit this.

[0093] The above technical solution can prevent material from accumulating on the first body 51, effectively reduce the resistance of the first body 51 to material feeding, and ensure the reliability of unloading by the unloading device 100.

[0094] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the top of the second body 71 is provided with a second guide surface 712 for guiding the material to move downward.

[0095] Specifically, a second guide surface 712 is provided on both opposite sides of the second main body 71, and a second guide surface 712 is also provided at the top of the second main body 71. The second guide surfaces 712 on both opposite sides of the second main body 71 are downwardly inclined slopes, and the second guide surface 712 at the top of the second main body 71 is an upwardly convex arc surface. The second guide surface 712 at the top of the second main body 71 is connected to the second guide surfaces 712 on both opposite sides of the second main body 71.

[0096] It should be understood that the number of second guide surfaces 712 can also be two, four or other numbers. The second guide surface 712 can be an inclined surface, a curved surface or other shapes, as long as it can guide the material to move downwards. This application does not limit this.

[0097] The above technical solution can prevent material from accumulating on the second body 71, effectively reduce the resistance of the second body 71 to material feeding, and ensure the reliability of unloading by the unloading device 100.

[0098] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the slicing member 5 and / or the stirring member 7 have a stop surface adapted to the inner wall of the feed channel 11, and the stop surface is in contact with the inner wall of the feed channel 11 in the avoidance state.

[0099] For example, the feeding channel 11 is constructed as a circular channel, and the first body 51 is constructed as an arc-shaped structure. The arc-shaped first body 51 includes a radially inner side and a radially outer side. A first stop surface 513 is formed on the radially outer side of the first body 51, and the first stop surface 513 is an arc surface. In the avoidance state, the first stop surface 513 fits against the inner wall of the feeding channel 11, which effectively improves the space utilization rate within the unloading device 100 and is conducive to the miniaturization of the unloading device 100.

[0100] For example, the feeding channel 11 is constructed as a circular channel, and the second body 71 is constructed as an arc-shaped structure. The arc-shaped structure of the second body 71 includes a radially inner side and a radially outer side. A second stop surface 713 is formed on the radially outer side of the second body 71, and the second stop surface 713 is an arc surface. In the avoidance state, the second stop surface 713 fits against the inner wall of the feeding channel 11, effectively improving the space utilization rate within the unloading device 100 and facilitating the miniaturization of the unloading device 100.

[0101] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, multiple bag-breaking modules are provided.

[0102] Because each bag-breaking module is installed in a different position, the movement trajectory of each slicing component 5 on the bag is different. When the movement trajectories of each slicing component 5 are separate, multiple discharge ports can be opened on the bag, which helps to improve the discharge efficiency. When the movement trajectories of some slicing components 5 are tangent or intersecting, it helps to increase the opening of the discharge port, thereby improving the discharge efficiency.

[0103] Reference Figure 3 In some specific embodiments, there are two bag-breaking modules, and the movement trajectories of the tearing ends 523 of the two bag-breaking modules are tangent or intersecting.

[0104] For example, the first rotating shafts 511 of the two bag breaking modules are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the center line of the feed channel 11.

[0105] The above technical solution helps to increase the opening of the discharge port, thereby improving the discharge efficiency.

[0106] In some further embodiments, the unloading device 100 is configured such that when the unloading device 100 needs to perform a bag breaking operation, the other breaking end 523 only starts to move after one of the two breaking ends 523 has moved, thereby avoiding interference between the two bag breaking modules and ensuring the reliability of the unloading device 100.

[0107] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with an observation port communicating with the feeding channel 11 and a transparent part for closing the observation port, and the bag breaking module, the stirring module and the observation port are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction.

[0108] For example, there are two bag breaking modules, one stirring module and one observation window 13. The two bag breaking modules are distributed on both sides of the observation port, and the stirring module is directly opposite the observation window 13.

[0109] The above technical solution allows operators to easily observe the working status of the bag breaking module and the stirring module through the observation port, and allows for timely repairs when either module malfunctions.

[0110] In some embodiments, the unloading device 100 further includes a control module, which is communicatively connected to the first drive module 4 and the second drive module 6 to control the movement state of the shredder 5 and the agitator 7.

[0111] Through the above technical solutions, the control module can automatically command each module to start, run or stop in sequence and according to conditions according to the preset program or logic, which is conducive to realizing the automation of the unloading device 100; it can also reduce waiting time and improve the operating efficiency of the entire unloading device 100 by optimizing the coordination timing of each module.

[0112] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the unloading device 100 further includes a hopper 2 and a detection module. The hopper 2 is located below the housing 1 and communicates with the feeding channel 11. The detection module is used to detect the weight of the material in the hopper 2. The detection module is communicatively connected to the control module. The control module is configured to control the movement state of the stirring component 7 according to the information detected by the detection module.

[0113] For example, if the weight of the material in the hopper 2 does not change significantly over a period of time, it indicates that a blockage has occurred at the discharge port. The control module controls the agitator 7 to reciprocate to agitate the material at the discharge port to assist in the discharge.

[0114] For example, after the agitator 7 has been moving continuously for a first set time, if the weight of the material in the hopper 2 has not changed significantly, the control module controls the agitator 7 to move at a higher frequency.

[0115] For example, if the weight of the material in the hopper 2 changes suddenly when the agitator 7 is moving, it indicates that the material at the discharge port is no longer blocked, and the control module controls the agitator 7 to stop moving.

[0116] In this embodiment, the movement state of the agitator 7 is controlled by detecting the weight of the material in the hopper 2, eliminating the need for manual commands to control the movement of the agitator 7. This effectively improves the intelligence of the unloading device 100 and enhances its working efficiency.
