[0025] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be derived from these drawings without inventive effort.

[0026] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments cannot be described one by one here, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments.

[0027] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides an automated material turnover box, including a loading unit 1, a unloading unit 2, a grabbing unit 3 located on one side of the loading unit 1, a partition loading unit 4 and a classification storage unit 5. A gripper quick-change workbench 6 is provided on one side of the grabbing unit 3, and a control cabinet 7 is also included.

[0028] The automated material turnover device of the present invention can place the large packaging box to be unpacked on the loading unit 1 through the above-mentioned structural setting, and transport it to the grasping unit 3 for grasping. The setting of the clamping claw quick-change workbench 6 can grasp and store materials, partitions and small material boxes separately, thereby realizing the automation of material turnover classification and improving work efficiency.

[0029] Combine Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the loading unit 1 includes a conveyor rail 11 and a tray 12 disposed on the conveyor rail 11, and the unloading unit 2 is located on one side of the loading unit 1. The automated material turnover device of the present invention can place incoming large packaging boxes on the tray 12, transport them to the grabbing station via the conveyor rail 11, and then use the grabbing unit 3 to unload and store the material boxes, materials in the material boxes, and partitions in the incoming large packaging boxes. After all unloading is completed, the incoming large packaging boxes are transported to the unloading unit 2 for unloading and collection.

[0030] Combine Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the gripping unit 3 includes a base frame 31, a robotic arm 32 mounted on the base 31, a visual camera 33 provided on the robotic arm 32, and a quick-change connector 34 connected to the front end of the robotic arm 32.
