[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the material unpacking device provided by the present application includes a conveying mechanism 101, an unpacking mechanism, and a dumping mechanism.

[0038] Among them, the unpacking mechanism includes a loading container 102 and a cutting member 103. The conveying mechanism 101 is used to convey the bagged material 104 into the loading container 102 so that the bagged material 104 can be placed upright in the loading container 102. And the capacity of the loading container 102 is slightly smaller than the volume of the bagged material 104, so that the lower part of the bagged material 104 is inside the loading container 102, and the upper part of the bagged material 104 is outside the loading container 102. The cutting member 103 is located on the side of the loading container 102, and the cutting member 103 can move to cut and unpack the upper part of the bagged material 104.

[0039] After the cutting process of the cutting member 103 is completed, the dumping mechanism can turn the loading container 102 over so that the unpacked bagged material 104 falls into the silo 105, and the silo 105 can separate the material of the bagged material 104 from the packaging bag, thus completing the process of unpacking and feeding.

[0040] The material unpacking device provided by the present application can realize automatic unpacking and feeding of the bagged material 104 by setting the conveying mechanism 101, the unpacking mechanism, and the dumping mechanism, with high production efficiency, and the production method of unmanned operation avoids the problem that the leaked and diffused dust affects the health of the operators.

[0041] In an optional solution of this embodiment, seeFigure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bag opening mechanism further includes a bag opening clamping claw 106 . The loading container 102 is provided with an opening, and the bag opening clamping claw 106 is opposite to the opening to clamp the top of the bagged material 104 in the loading container 102 .

[0042] In this embodiment, since the material of the packaging bag for loading materials is generally soft, when the bagged material 104 is placed in the loading container 102, since the materials are stacked at the bottom of the packaging bag, the upper part of the packaging bag has no support, which easily leads to the phenomenon of stacking and wrinkling of the upper part of the packaging bag. When the cutting piece 103 cuts and opens the upper part of the packaging bag, the packaging bag cannot be cut open. Therefore, the present application sets a packaging opening clamp 106 at the opening of the loading container 102. When the cutting piece 103 cuts and opens the packaging bag, the packaging opening clamp 106 can clamp the upper part of the packaging bag, thereby stretching the upper part of the packaging bag, so that the cutting piece 103 can cut the packaging bag more easily.

[0043] In an optional solution of this embodiment, the bag opening clamp 106 includes a lifting drive assembly 107 and a clamp portion 108. The lifting drive assembly 107 is connected to the clamp portion 108 to drive the clamp portion 108 to move closer to or away from the loading container 102; the clamp portion 108 is used to clamp or release the bagged material 104 in the loading container 102.

[0044] In this embodiment, specifically, the lifting drive assembly 107 includes a motor, a coupling and a screw nut assembly, the motor is connected to the screw nut assembly through the coupling, and the screw nut assembly is connected to the clamping jaw 108, so that the motor can drive the clamping jaw 108 to rise and fall in the height direction. The clamping jaw 108 includes a cylinder and a mechanical clamping jaw, and the cylinder is used to drive the mechanical clamping jaw to open and close, so as to clamp and release the bagged material 104.

[0045] In actual operation, after the bagged material 104 is placed in the loading container 102, the motor can drive the screw nut assembly to lower the clamping jaw 108 so that the clamping jaw 108 reaches the clamping position, and then the cylinder can drive the mechanical clamping jaw to open and close to clamp the upper part of the bagged material 104. After the cutting member 103 cuts and opens the packaging bag, the cylinder can drive the mechanical clamping jaw to release the packaging bag, and under the drive of the lifting drive assembly 107, the clamping jaw 108 rises to the avoidance position to avoid affecting the next bagged material 104 from being placed in the loading container 102 from the opening.

[0046] In an optional solution of this embodiment, the cutting member 103 includes a translation drive assembly 109 and a cutter 110 ; the translation drive assembly 109 is connected to the cutter 110 to drive the cutter 110 to reciprocate along the length direction of the loading container 102 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the translation drive assembly 109 includes a cylinder, a guide plate and a guide rod. The cylinder is mounted on the guide plate, and the guide plate is provided with a guide hole. The guide rod is connected to the cutter 110, and the guide rod passes through the corresponding guide hole. When the cylinder drives the cutter 110 to reciprocate, the guide rod can reciprocate along the guide hole to guide the movement direction of the cutter 110. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cutter 110 includes a mounting frame 113 and a blade mounted on the mounting frame 113 , there are two guide rods, and both guide rods are connected to the mounting frame 113 , and two guide holes are correspondingly opened in the guide plate.

[0048] In addition, the movement direction of the cutter 110 is the length direction of the loading container 102. When the cutter 110 cuts the bagged material 104, the incision formed on the packaging bag is larger, which facilitates the material to flow out of the incision of the packaging bag, thereby achieving a better separation effect between the packaging bag and the material.

[0049] In an optional solution of this embodiment, the dumping mechanism includes a flip drive assembly 111 and a fixing assembly 112; the fixing assembly 112 is used to fix the loading container 102, and the flip drive assembly 111 is connected to the fixing assembly 112 to flip the loading container 102. Specifically, the flip drive assembly 111 includes a frame, a motor and a reducer. The motor and the reducer are installed on the frame and connected to the fixing assembly 112. The motor drives the fixing assembly 112 to rotate 180° to flip the opening of the loading container 102 downward, so that the material to be loaded in the loading container 102 falls into the silo 105. Then the fixing assembly 112 rotates back 180° again so that the subsequent bagged material 104 can be placed in the loading container 102.

[0050] Specifically, the fixing assembly 112 includes a mounting frame 113 and a fixing part, the mounting frame 113 is connected to the flip driving assembly 111, and the fixing part is connected to the mounting frame 113; the fixing part includes a fixing support plate 114 and / or a fixing clamp 115; the fixing support plate 114 is located at the bottom of the material loading container 102 to support the material loading container 102; the fixing clamp 115 is located at the side of the material loading container 102 to clamp the material loading container 102. The fixing clamp 115 specifically includes a cylinder and a mechanical clamp, and the cylinder is used to drive the mechanical clamp to open and close, so as to clamp and release the material loading container 102.

[0051] In this embodiment, the fixing part includes the following three structural forms:

[0052] 1. The fixing part includes a fixing support plate 114 , and the loading container 102 needs to be connected to the fixing part. When the flip driving component 111 drives the fixing component 112 to rotate downward, the loading container 102 will not be separated from the fixing support plate 114 .

[0053] 2. The fixing part includes a fixing jaw 115. During the operation of the equipment, the fixing jaw 115 needs to clamp the loading container 102 to ensure that the loading container 102 always remains stable during the process of transferring the bagged material 104 to the loading container 102 and during the flipping process of the loading container 102, so that the bagged material 104 can smoothly enter the loading container 102 and the loading container 102 will not detach from the fixed support plate 114 when it flips. The advantage of this structure is that by loosening the fixing jaw 115, the corresponding loading container 102 can be replaced according to the size of the bagged material 104.

[0054] 3. As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the fixing part includes a fixed support plate 114 and a fixing jaw 115. The fixed support plate 114 can support the loading container 102 from the bottom, and the fixing jaw 115 can correct the position of the loading container 102 from the upper part. Especially for the case where the height of the loading container 102 is relatively high, the fixing effect is better. In this solution, the loading container 102 may or may not be connected to the fixed support plate 114. For example, the loading container 102 can be placed on the fixed support plate 114, or the loading container 102 can be detachably connected or integrally connected to the fixed support plate 114.

[0055] In an alternative solution of this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 101 includes a conveyor belt 116. At the loading end of the conveyor belt 116, the bagged material 104 can be placed on the conveyor belt 116 manually or by a manipulator. The motor of the conveyor belt 116 runs to move the bagged material 104 to the unloading end of the conveyor belt 116. The loading container 102 is located at the unloading end of the conveyor belt 116, and the height of the unloading end is higher than the height of the loading container 102. When the bagged material 104 is transported to the unloading end, the bagged material 104 can fall into the loading container 102 under the action of gravity, without the need to additionally set up a transporting manipulator, saving costs.

[0056] In an alternative solution of this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the conveying mechanism 101 further includes a code scanning device 117. The code scanning device 117 is located on the conveying path of the conveyor belt 116 to scan the bagged material 104 transported by the conveyor belt 116. Specifically, the code scanning device 117 includes a code scanning gun and a code scanning bracket. The code scanning bracket is connected to the side of the conveyor belt 116, the code scanning gun is installed on the code scanning bracket, and the lens of the code scanning gun faces the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 116. During the conveying process of the bagged material 104, when the bagged material 104 moves below the code scanning gun, the code scanning gun can scan and identify the bagged material 104 and upload the data.

[0059] See Figure 4 As shown, in an optional solution of this embodiment, the silo 105 includes a silo main body 118, a filter element 119, and a vibration driving device. The filter element 119 is installed inside the silo main body 118 to filter the packaging bags of the bagged materials 104; the vibration driving device is connected to the filter element 119 to drive the filter element 119 to vibrate, so that the materials of the bagged materials 104 can pass through the filter element 119, thereby the materials can be fed into the subsequent process flow.
