[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] The utility model provides a multi-variety adaptive carton opening machine, which is implemented as follows: Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a carton placing mechanism 10, a carton conveying mechanism 20 and a carton opening mechanism 30 are provided on a frame 40 of a multi-variety adaptive carton opening machine; the carton placing mechanism 10 is used to place cartons; the carton conveying mechanism 20 is used to suck cartons from the carton placing mechanism 10 and convey them to the carton placing platform 31 of the carton opening mechanism 30; the carton opening mechanism 30 includes a lower suction cup 32, an upper suction cup 33, a clamping baffle 34 and a carton folding push plate, the movement stroke of which can be electrically adjusted; the lower suction cup 32 is arranged on the carton placing platform 31 in a manner that can be lifted and lowered. 1, the lower suction cup 32 is used to absorb and fix the carton on the carton placement platform 31; the upper suction cup 33 is provided above the carton placement platform 31 in a manner that can be lifted and lowered, and the upper suction cup 33 is used to absorb the carton to stand up; two clamping baffles 34 are provided on the carton placement platform 31 in a manner that can move toward and away from each other, and the two clamping baffles 34 move toward each other to clamp and maintain the carton in an upright state; the four carton folding push plates are respectively aligned with the four flanges of the standing carton, and the four carton folding push plates are respectively used to push the four flanges of the standing carton to turn inward and fold.

[0032] During application, the cartons will be stacked in a flat state and placed in the carton placement mechanism 10. The carton conveying mechanism 20 will suck the cartons placed at the bottom and send them to the carton placement platform 31. Then the lower suction cup 32 will adsorb and fix the bottom of the carton, and the upper suction cup 33 will adsorb and fix the upper part of the carton. The carton can be erected by rising the upper suction cup 33. After the carton is erected, the two clamping baffles 34 move toward each other to clamp the left and right sides of the carton to maintain the carton in an upright state. Finally, the four carton folding push plates push the four flanges of the carton inward to complete the entire operation.

[0033] Since the carton opening mechanism 30 includes a lower suction cup 32, an upper suction cup 33, a clamping baffle 34 and a carton folding push plate whose moving stroke can be electrically adjusted, and the carton is opened by these components, it is only necessary to pre-store the setting parameters of multiple carton specifications inside the device, and the operator can select the current carton specification through the control panel or the automatic recognition system.

[0034] The system can then automatically adjust the movement stroke of the lower suction cup 32, the upper suction cup 33, the clamping baffle 34 and the carton folding push plate to adapt to cartons of different sizes. Therefore, when switching carton specifications, only a simple operation is required to complete it, and there is no need to reinstall and adjust. The operation process is simple, fast and accurate.

[0035] Moreover, the equipment can maintain an efficient and stable working state during the rapid switching of carton types. Through the servo control system and precise mechanical design, the equipment can quickly resume normal operating speed after completing the specification conversion and maintain stable carton opening quality. This feature enables the equipment to meet diverse needs and ensure production efficiency in mass production.

[0036] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a carton placement mechanism 10 including a first transverse guide rail 111, a second transverse guide rail 112, a first transverse arm 121 and a second transverse arm 122; the four first transverse guide rails 111 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower sides of the opposite sides of the frame 40, and two first transverse arms 121 are slidably installed between the two first transverse guide rails 111 arranged up and down on each side of the frame 40; the second transverse guide rail 112 is connected up and down between each two first transverse arms 121 arranged on the opposite sides of the frame 40, and two second transverse arms 122 are slidably installed between the two second transverse guide rails 112 arranged up and down; the lower part of the second transverse arm 122 is provided with a carton pallet 13.

[0037] After adopting this setting method, by controlling the movement of the two first transverse arms 121 and the two second transverse arms 122, the size of the space enclosed by the two first transverse arms 121 and the two second transverse arms 122 can be adjusted so that this space can be used to accommodate cartons of different sizes, and the cartons placed in this space will be supported on the carton pallet 13, thereby realizing the stacking of multiple cartons.

[0038] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a frame 40 with a tensioning wheel 41 and a synchronous belt 42 tensioned between the two tensioning wheels 41 on one side where two of the first transverse guide rails 111 are provided; the lateral extension arrangement direction of the synchronous belt 42 is consistent with the arrangement track direction of the first transverse guide rail 111, and the upper belt segment and the lower belt segment of the synchronous belt 42 are connected with connecting plates 43, and the two connecting plates 43 are respectively connected and fixed to the two first transverse arms 121.

[0039] After adopting this setting method, once one of the first transverse moving arms 121 moves laterally, the synchronous belt 42 will drive the other first transverse moving arm 121 to move laterally through the connecting plate 43; for example, if one first transverse moving arm 121 moves outward by a distance A, the other first transverse moving arm 121 will also move outward by a distance A. If one first transverse moving arm 121 moves inward by a distance B, the other first transverse moving arm 121 will also move inward by a distance B, thereby ensuring that the placement position of the carton is always centered and will not affect the subsequent operation of the carton.

[0041] After adopting this setting method, the linear movable slide rail 21 can control the carton suction cylinder 22 and the carton suction suction cup 23 to move together to the bottom of the stacked cartons, and then the carton suction cylinder 22 controls the carton suction suction cup 23 to rise, and the carton suction suction cup 23 can adsorb and fix the carton. At this time, the carton suction cylinder 22 controls the carton suction suction cup 23 to descend, so that a single carton can be pulled out from the stacked state; finally, the linear movable slide rail 21 moves the carton suction cylinder 22 and the carton suction suction cup 23 together to the carton placement platform 31, so that the cartons can be transported.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a carton placement platform 31 is provided with a moving groove 311 for the carton suction cup 23 to move in and out.

[0043] After adopting this setting method, the moving groove 311 will provide a moving path for the carton suction cylinder 22 and the carton suction suction cup 23, avoiding obstruction of the transportation of the carton and ensuring that the carton can be accurately delivered to the carton placement platform 31.

[0045] After adopting this setting method, once the carton has been delivered to the carton placement platform 31, the lower suction cup lifting mechanism 321 can control the lower suction cup 32 to rise, so as to use the lower suction cup 32 to adsorb and fix the lower part of the carton, thereby facilitating the carton conveying mechanism 20 to release the adsorption of the carton and start the conveying operation of the next carton.

[0046] Moreover, after adopting this setting method, once the carton is in an upright state, the carton bottom folding cylinder 361 can push the carton bottom folding push plate 351 to flip over, thereby applying an inward push force to the bottom flange of the carton, thereby achieving the inward folding of the bottom flange of the carton.

[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an upper suction cup moving mechanism 331 on the frame 40, the upper suction cup moving mechanism 331 is connected to the upper suction cup 33, and the upper suction cup moving mechanism 331 is used to control the upper suction cup 33 to move horizontally and up and down; the carton folding push plate includes a carton upper folding push plate 352, the carton upper folding push plate 352 is hinged on the upper suction cup moving mechanism 331, the carton upper folding push plate 352 is connected to the carton upper folding cylinder 362, and the carton upper folding cylinder 362 is used to control the carton upper folding push plate 352 to flip and push the upper flange of the carton to fold inward.

[0048] After adopting this setting method, once the carton has been delivered to the carton placement platform 31, the upper suction cup moving mechanism 331 will first move the upper suction cup 33 to the top of the carton, and then control the upper suction cup 33 to descend until the upper suction cup 33 adsorbs and fixes the upper part of the carton. Finally, by controlling the upward movement of the upper suction cup 33, the carton can be erected.

[0049] Moreover, after adopting this setting method, once the carton is in an upright state, the carton folding cylinder 362 can push the carton folding push plate 352 to flip over, thereby applying an inward push force to the upper flap of the carton, thereby achieving the inward folding of the upper flap of the carton.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a carton folding push plate including a carton left folding push plate 353, and the carton left folding push plate 353 is connected to a carton left folding cylinder 363, and the carton left folding cylinder 363 is used to control the carton left folding push plate 353 to push the left flange of the carton inwardly.

[0051] After adopting this setting mode, once the carton has been erected, the carton left folding cylinder 363 can push the carton left folding push plate 353 to move obliquely toward the left flange of the carton, thereby realizing the left flange inward folding operation of the carton.
