[0034] As we all know, modern products require cartons for packaging during the sales process. Currently, after being manufactured in carton factories, cartons are generally folded into flat blanks for easy transportation and to minimize space. Before products are packaged, they need to be unpacked to facilitate product packing.
[0035] In the prior art, carton opening machines are commonly used to open carton blanks. These machines, also known as carton board opening and forming machines, are used to open and fold flat carton blanks into a cubical box. However, existing carton opening machines are typically complex in structure, occupy a large area, and each model can only handle cartons of the same size, resulting in limited versatility.
[0036] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention introduces a swing-type automatic carton opener.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the swing-type automatic carton opener includes a frame assembly 100 , a material storage assembly 200 and a material taking assembly 300 .
[0038] Specifically, the frame assembly 100 includes a support plate 120 horizontally disposed in the middle of the frame 110. The storage assembly 200 is provided with a slide structure 210. The feed end of the slide structure 210 is connected to the side wall of the frame 110. The discharge end of the slide structure 210 is connected to the support plate 120. Furthermore, the feed end of the slide structure 210 is higher than the discharge end of the slide structure 210, allowing the box blanks to automatically slide toward the discharge end under the action of gravity, thereby eliminating the need for a conveyor mechanism to drive the box blanks.
[0039] The material removal assembly 300 includes a swing arm 310 rotatably connected to the frame 110. A suction cup 330 is mounted on the material removal end of the swing arm 310. The drive end of the swing arm 310 is connected to a drive member 320. The suction cup 330 rotates with the swing arm 310 and has a first position near the discharge end of the slide structure 210 and a second position for removing the box blank from the frame 110.
[0040] In particular, the support plate 120 extends horizontally within the rack 110 , dividing the space within the rack 110 into upper and lower parts.
[0041] When the suction cup 330 is in the first position, the suction surface of the suction cup 330 is in contact with the box blank at the discharge end of the slide structure 210. When compressed air is supplied to the suction cup 330, the box blank can be immediately sucked and taken away from the storage assembly 200. When the suction cup 330 is in the second position, the box blank is opened into a three-dimensional empty box under the drive of the swing arm 310 and hovers above the pallet 120.
[0042] In this embodiment, a swing arm 310 type automatic carton opener is provided with a reciprocating swing arm 310 on the frame 110. By swinging the swing arm 310 between the storage assembly 200 and the pallet 120, the flat box blank can be quickly opened into a three-dimensional empty box, thereby simplifying the structure of the carton opener, improving the efficiency of the carton opening, and reducing the labor intensity of the staff.
[0043] On the basis of the above embodiment, another embodiment of the present invention introduces a swing-type automatic carton opener.
[0044] The support plate 120 extends from the inner side of the frame 110 to the outer side of the frame 110 to form an overhanging end 121 , and the second position is the overhanging end 121 .
[0045] On the basis of the above embodiment, another embodiment of the present invention introduces a swing-type automatic carton opener.
[0046] The support plate 120 is provided with a passage 122 passing through the upper and lower sides thereof, and the passage 122 extends from the overhanging end 121 to the discharge end of the slide structure 210;
[0047] The material storage assembly 200 is fixed above the support plate 120 , the material taking assembly 300 is fixed below the support plate 120 , and the material taking end of the swing arm 310 extends from the passage 122 to above the support plate 120 .
[0048] On the basis of the above embodiment, another embodiment of the present invention introduces a swing-type automatic carton opener.
[0049] The material taking assembly 300 includes a rotating shaft 340 , which is connected to the frame 110 , and the middle portion of the swing arm 310 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 340 .
[0050] On the basis of the above embodiment, another embodiment of the present invention introduces a swing-type automatic carton opener.
[0051] The slide structure 210 consists of a bottom plate 211 and a vertical plate 212. The two vertical plates 212 are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the bottom plate 211. At least one of the vertical plates 212 can move along the width direction of the bottom plate 211 to adapt to the width of the box blank.
[0052] On the basis of the above embodiment, another embodiment of the present invention introduces a swing-type automatic carton opener.
[0053] The material storage assembly 200 includes a support rod 213 , which extends in a straight line and is connected to the frame 110 at both ends. The bottom plate 211 and the vertical plate 212 are sleeved on the support rod 213 and can move on the support rod 213 .
[0054] On the basis of the above embodiment, another embodiment of the present invention introduces a swing-type automatic carton opener.
[0055] The storage assembly 200 includes a stopper 220 disposed at the discharge end of the slide structure 210 for blocking the box blank within the slide structure 210 .
[0056] On the basis of the above embodiment, another embodiment of the present invention introduces a swing-type automatic carton opener.
[0057] The limiting member 220 is configured as a telescopic rod 221 located at the discharge end of the slide structure 210 . The telescopic rod 221 is connected to the edge of the vertical plate 212 and is perpendicular to the surface of the vertical plate 212 . The length extending toward the inside of the slide can be adjusted.
[0058] On the basis of the above embodiment, another embodiment of the present invention introduces a swing-type automatic carton opener.
[0059] The material-retrieving end of the swing arm 310 is further provided with an expansion plate 311 for distributing and installing the suction cups 330 . The surface of the expansion plate 311 is U-shaped and is used to widen the distance between adjacent suction cups 330 .

In addition, the feed end of the slide structure 210 is higher than the discharge end of the slide structure 210, so that the box blanks automatically slide toward the discharge end under the action of gravity, thereby eliminating the need for a conveyor mechanism to drive the box blanks.
[0061] The material removal assembly 300 includes a swing arm 310 rotatably connected to the frame 110. A suction cup 330 is mounted on the material removal end of the swing arm 310. The drive end of the swing arm 310 is connected to a drive member 320. The suction cup 330 rotates with the swing arm 310 and has a first position near the discharge end of the slide structure 210 and a second position for removing the box blank from the frame 110.
[0062] In particular, the support plate 120 extends horizontally within the rack 110 , dividing the space within the rack 110 into upper and lower parts.
[0063] When the suction cup 330 is in the first position, the suction surface of the suction cup 330 is in contact with the box blank at the discharge end of the slide structure 210. When compressed air is supplied to the suction cup 330, the box blank can be immediately sucked and taken away from the storage assembly 200. When the suction cup 330 is in the second position, the box blank is opened into a three-dimensional empty box under the drive of the swing arm 310 and hovers above the pallet 120.
