[0039] Next, the working principle of the embodiment is described in detail to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention:

[0040] The operating steps of a cardboard box desiccant removal device are as follows:

[0041] S1: The cardboard box from which the desiccant is to be removed is conveyed to a designated operating station via the conveyor belt 2. After reaching the operating station, the conveyor belt 2 stops;

[0042] S2: Before the strip box opening device works, the clamping cylinder 10 in the clamping assembly starts to start, and driven by the clamping cylinder 10, the clamping cylinder telescopic rod 11 contracts and drives the rotating cylinder support plate 12 to move, thereby clamping the opposite ends of the strip box from which the desiccant is to be removed;

[0043] S3: the opening box mechanism starts to start, the driving flip cylinder 15 installed on the flip cylinder support frame 14 starts, driving the driving flip cylinder telescopic rod 16 to move, the driving flip cylinder telescopic rod 16 contracts, driving the rotating joint 17 to rotate around the rotating shaft 19, and driving the suction cup 20 to flip at a set angle;

[0044] S4: After the suction cup 20 rotates to the specified position, the suction nozzle 22 on the suction cup 20 starts the negative pressure wind to suck the magnetic side 21 of the box. At this time, the driving flip cylinder 15 starts the return movement to complete the flipping and opening of the magnetic side 21 of the box. The driving flip cylinder 15 continues to return to the initial working position;

[0045] S5: When the magnetic side surface 21 of the strip box is opened, the lifting assembly starts to work, and the lifting cylinder 4 drives the lifting cylinder telescopic rod 8 to retract, and the lifting cylinder telescopic rod 8 drives the guide rod 7 to move upward along the axis of the linear bearing 6, so that the clamping assembly and the clamped strip box move upward as a whole. At this time, the flip assembly does not work, so under the adsorption of the suction nozzle 22 on the magnetic side surface 21 of the strip box and in the process of the lifting cylinder 4 driving the whole to lift upward, the rotating cylinder 23 is pulled and rotated until the magnetic flip cover is flipped around the connecting edge with the box body and fully opened. When the magnetic flip cover is fully opened, the suction cup assembly stops working at the same time and releases the adsorption on the magnetic side surface 21 of the strip box. At this time, the lifting cylinder 4 continues to drive until the magnetic side surface 21 of the strip box is completely separated from the conveyor belt 2;

[0046] S6: During the rising process, since there is no magnetic front block of the box, the desiccant inside the box body falls into the sliding groove 24 under its own gravity. A desiccant collecting device is arranged below the sliding groove 24 according to actual needs;

[0047] S7: After the lifting action is completed, the rotating cylinder 23 is started, driving the clamped box to rotate at a set angle, so that the magnetic flip cover is covered again;

[0048] S8: When the magnetic flip cover is completely closed again, the lifting cylinder 4 starts working again, driving the lifting cylinder telescopic rod 8 to extend downward until the box is placed back on the conveyor belt 2;

[0049] S9: After completing step S8, the clamping assembly releases the clamped strip box, and the strip box after the desiccant is removed is placed back on the conveyor belt 2;

[0050] S10: At this time, the conveyor belt 2 is restarted to transport the strip box from which the desiccant has been removed to the next process.

[0051] In summary, the utility model provides a cardboard box desiccant removal device, which eliminates the tedious steps of manually opening the box to remove the desiccant and transporting the cardboard box by setting a box opening mechanism and a lifting and flipping mechanism, thereby reducing labor input, saving labor costs, and improving production efficiency.
