Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ton bag unpacking, and in particular to a ton bag unpacking module and a ton bag unpacking machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] A ton bag is a medium-sized bulk container with the characteristics of fixed volume, high strength, moisture and dust prevention, simple loading and unloading, and reusability. When combined with a lifting mechanism, it can realize unitized transportation and is widely used in various industries such as chemical industry, mining, metallurgy, construction, and feed industry to store powdery materials, granular materials, and bulk materials. It is an important medium for warehousing and transportation, and the market demand is increasing. The market prospect is broad. When the ton bag is loaded with powdery materials, it is still difficult to safely, environmentally, and efficiently unload the materials.

[0003] To ensure the safety, environmental protection, and health of the operating environment, the ton bag loaded with powdery materials needs to be unloaded in a certain sealed space. The widely used sealed ton bag unpacking machine uses a lifting mechanism such as an electric hoist to lift the ton bag to a certain height, then sends it into the sealed shell through a sliding rail for unpacking operation. Since the lifting mechanism has a large operating range, most of its parts need to be designed outside the sealed shell, and the ton bag is transported into the sealed shell through an open structure track channel, as shown in the solution of CN205023017U. This results in the upper end of the sealed shell being unable to be completely closed, and the unpacking operation can only be carried out in a semi-sealed space, which inevitably leads to dust leakage hazards and safety hazards. There are also solutions that set plastic brushes at the connection between the sealed box and the transportation track to prevent dust leakage, as shown in CN205916799U, but they still cannot completely eliminate the problem of dust leakage. In addition, there are also fully enclosed shell solutions, such as CN207998054U, which sets the electric hoist and unpacking machine in a fully enclosed main frame, and the lifting, unpacking, and unloading are all carried out in the enclosed main frame. However, this solution is generally only suitable for small-scale and short-distance unpacking operations, otherwise the cost of the fully enclosed main frame and the running cost are high (large occupied space, need to be equipped with multiple high-power negative pressure fans and dust removal equipment for dust removal operation, and need high-power motors to ensure the opening and closing of the sealed door), and the economic benefit is low.

[0004] After a ton bag enters a sealed housing, it generally needs to be unpacked from the bottom to release the material. Since operators cannot enter the sealed housing to disassemble the ton bags, one current solution is to use a bag-breaking mechanism to cut open the bottom of the ton bag, such as CN104816862B and CN205023017U. This method damages the ton bag, preventing its reuse. Another solution is to use a dedicated ton bag disassembly mechanism, such as CN207902885U, CN110155442A, and CN210235553U. However, these solutions undoubtedly increase the complexity of the disassembly equipment and operation, and are only applicable to ton bags with a bottom discharge tie; they are not suitable for other types of ton bags, significantly limiting their application scenarios.

The terminology used herein in the template description is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, this application provides a ton bag unpacking module 10, which includes a material platform 300, a clamping mechanism 200, a flipping mechanism 500, and a transfer mechanism 100. The clamping mechanism 200 is disposed on the material platform 300 and is used to clamp the ton bag placed on the material platform 300. The flipping mechanism 500 is disposed on the transfer mechanism 100 and is connected to the material platform 300. The flipping mechanism 500 is used to drive the material platform 300 to flip. The transfer mechanism 100 is connected to the flipping mechanism 500 and is used to drive the flipping mechanism 500 to move.

[0057] In these embodiments, the ton bag unpacking module 10 of the present application integrates a material table 300, a clamping mechanism 200, a turnover mechanism 500, and a transfer mechanism 100, to realize the automated unpacking process of ton bags.

[0058] Among them, the material table 300 serves as the basic platform for carrying ton bags, and the material table 300 has sufficient load-bearing capacity and stability to ensure safety when handling ton bags of different weights. The material table 300 also needs to have a certain flexibility, such as adjustable height or shape, to adapt to different sizes and types of ton bags.

[0059] The clamping mechanism 200 is arranged on the material table 300 and directly acts on the ton bag. The clamping mechanism 200 is used to firmly fix the ton bag placed on the material table 300, preventing it from slipping or falling off during movement or turnover. The clamping mechanism 200 can adapt to various ton bag sizes and is easy and quick to operate.

[0060] For example, it can be a mechanical claw, a pneumatic clamp, or other forms of fixing device, ensuring that the ton bag material is not damaged and providing sufficient gripping force.

[0061] The turnover mechanism 500 is connected with the transfer mechanism 100 and directly connected with the material table 300, driving the material table 300 and the ton bag on it to rotate, so that the discharge opening of the ton bag faces downward, facilitating the pouring of the material. The turnover mechanism 500 should be able to realize precise angle control, ensuring correct turnover of the ton bag without distortion or damage.

[0062] For example, the turnover mechanism 500 can be electrically, hydraulically, or pneumatically driven, with stability and repeatability to ensure consistency in each operation.

[0063] The transfer mechanism 100 is connected with the turnover mechanism 500 and indirectly associated with the material table 300 through the turnover mechanism 500. It is responsible for moving the entire system (including the material table 300, the clamping mechanism 200, and the turnover mechanism 500) from outside the discharge box 20 into the discharge box 20, and moving it back outside the discharge box 20 after the operation is completed. The transfer mechanism 100 needs to have high positioning accuracy to ensure accurate and error-free entry and exit movements.

[0064] For example, tracks, guide rails, or similar structures are used to guide the direction of movement, ensuring smooth straight or curved paths; the power source can be a motor drive, a hydraulic cylinder, or an air cylinder, etc.

[0065] Obviously, this ton bag unpacking module 10 not only realizes the automation of the ton bag unpacking process, but also ensures the safety, efficiency, and environmental friendliness of the operation through the cooperation of various components. It is particularly suitable for enterprises that need to frequently handle ton bag materials, helping to improve production efficiency and improve the working environment.

[0066] AsFigure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the transfer mechanism 100 includes a rotating bracket 120 and a rotating drive 110, and the turnover mechanism 500 is arranged on the rotating bracket 120, the rotating bracket 120 has a first reference line; the rotating drive 110 is connected with the rotating bracket 120, and the rotating drive 110 is used to drive the rotating bracket 120 to rotate around the first reference line.

[0067] In these embodiments, the transfer mechanism 100 cooperates with the rotating bracket 120 and the rotating drive 110 to realize the movement and turnover of the ton bag unpacking module 10.

[0068] The rotating bracket 120 serves as a bridge connecting the turnover mechanism 500 and the rotating drive 110, and is responsible for carrying the material table 300, the clamping mechanism 200 and the turnover mechanism 500. The rotating bracket 120 has a first reference line, which is usually a rotation axis or a center line, and all rotation movements are around this line. It is very important to ensure that all related components remain synchronized and stable during rotation. The rotating bracket 120 should ensure that it can rotate accurately according to the preset angle, ensuring the accuracy of the position of the ton bag in different operation stages.

[0069] The rotating drive 110 is directly connected with the rotating bracket 120 and provides the driving force required for rotation. The rotating drive 110 is used to drive the rotating bracket 120 to rotate around the first reference line, thereby driving the turnover mechanism 500 and the material table 300 to rotate together, and then realizing the material table 300 to enter and exit the unloading box 20 along an arc-shaped path. The selection of the rotating drive 110 is crucial to the response speed, control accuracy and long-term reliability of the system.

[0070] For example, the rotating drive 110 can be an electric motor, a hydraulic motor or a pneumatic motor, and the specific choice depends on the application environment and performance requirements. Of course, it can be programmed and controlled through PLC or other control systems, and different rotation angles and speeds can be set to meet the needs of different ton bag processing. Optionally, necessary safety devices such as limit switches and emergency stop buttons can be equipped to prevent accidents.

[0071] The turnover mechanism 500 is arranged on the rotating bracket 120 and moves with the rotating bracket 120. In addition to the original turnover function, it also participates in the overall rotation movement, increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the ton bag unpacking process.

[0072] When it is necessary to move the ton bag from the outside of the unloading box 20 into the inside, the rotating drive 110 is started to make the rotating bracket 120 (together with the turnover mechanism 500 and the material table 300) rotate around the first reference line to the appropriate position, so as to facilitate the loading and preliminary processing of the ton bag.

[0073] Moving into the unloading hopper 20: After initial processing, the rotary drive 110 actuates again, moving the entire system into the unloading hopper 20 and adjusting it to a suitable tilting position. The tilting mechanism 500 starts working, aligning the ton bag outlet downwards. Simultaneously, the rotating support 120 can further fine-tune the angle as needed to optimize the tilting effect. After unloading, the rotary drive 110 reverses its operation, bringing the system back to its initial position, i.e., moving the drive platform 300 outside the unloading hopper 20, facilitating the removal of empty ton bags and preparing for the next work cycle.

[0074] Furthermore, by integrating the rotating bracket 120 and the rotating drive component 110, the entire system becomes more compact and reduces space occupation.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotary drive 110 is configured as a rotary motor, the first reference line is set vertically, the lower end of the rotary support 120 is connected to the bottom of the unloading box 20 through the bearing seat 150, and the upper end of the rotary support 120 is connected to the top of the unloading box 20 through the bearing seat 150.

[0076] In these embodiments, the spindle of the rotary motor is connected to the rotary support 120 so as to directly drive the rotary support 120 to rotate. At the same time, bearing seats 150 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the rotary support 120, which can provide support for the rotary support 120 and the material platform 300 through the unloading box 20.

[0077] For example, the rotating bracket 120 is provided with a rotating rod, which is coaxially arranged with the main shaft of the rotating motor.

[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the flipping drive 520 is configured as a rotary motor, and the material table 300 is connected to the flipping bracket 510 through a rotary support bearing.

[0079] In these embodiments, the spindle of the rotary motor is connected to the table 300 and to the tilting bracket 510 via a rotary support bearing to reduce the load acting on the spindle and make the rotation of the table 300 smoother and more stable.

[0080] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 500 includes a flipping bracket 510 and a flipping drive 520. The flipping bracket 510 is connected to the transfer mechanism 100, and the flipping drive 520 is disposed on the flipping bracket 510. The flipping bracket 510 has a second reference line, and the flipping drive 520 is connected to the material platform 300. The flipping drive 520 is used to drive the material platform 300 to rotate around the second reference line. The second reference line and the horizontal plane have an included angle A, which satisfies: A < 90°.

[0081] In these embodiments, the turnover bracket 510 is connected with the transfer mechanism 100 (such as the rotating bracket 120) as the basic structure of the turnover action, supporting the turnover driving member 520 and the material table 300, and ensuring the stability during the turnover process. The turnover bracket 510 has a second reference line, which is the axis of the material table 300 during the turnover. The axis has a fixed angle A with the horizontal plane.

[0082] For example, in the present embodiment, the angle A is 0°. Of course, in other embodiments, the angle A can also be 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, and the like.

[0083] The turnover driving member 520 is arranged on the turnover bracket 510 and directly connected with the material table 300. The turnover driving member 520 is used to drive the material table 300 to rotate around the second reference line, so as to realize the turnover action of the ton bag. For example, the turnover driving member 520 can be an electric motor, a hydraulic motor, or a pneumatic motor, and the specific selection depends on the application environment and performance requirements.

[0084] As shown in FIGS. Figure 9 and Figure 10 , in some embodiments, the transfer mechanism 100 includes a translation bracket 160 and a translation driving member 130, the turnover mechanism 500 is arranged on the translation bracket 160, the translation bracket 160 has a second reference line; the translation driving member 130 is connected with the translation bracket 160, and the translation driving member 130 is used to drive the translation bracket 160 to move along the second reference line.

[0085] In these embodiments, as another implementation, the transfer mechanism 100 adopts the scheme of the translation bracket 160 and the translation driving member 130 to realize the horizontal movement function of the ton bag unpacking module 10. This scheme further refines the function of the ton bag unpacking module 10, so that it can accurately move between the inside and outside of the unloading box 20.

[0086] The translation bracket 160 is the basic structure connecting the turnover mechanism 500 and the entire ton bag unpacking module 10. The translation bracket 160 has a second reference line, which is the direction guide line of the translation movement. All translation movements are along this line, which ensures the straightness and accuracy during the movement. The translation bracket 160 should ensure that it can accurately move according to the preset distance, and ensure the position accuracy of the ton bag in different operation stages.

[0087] The translation driving member 130 is directly connected with the translation bracket 160 and provides the driving force required for translation. The translation driving member 130 is used to drive the translation bracket 160 to move along the second reference line, so as to drive the turnover mechanism 500 and the material table 300 to move together. The turnover mechanism 500 is arranged on the translation bracket 160 and moves together with the translation bracket 160.

[0088] ​​​​Exemplarily, the translation driving member 130 can be an electric motor, a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, etc., and the specific selection depends on the application environment and performance requirements.

[0089] As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 , in some embodiments, the translation bracket 160 is slidingly arranged on the translation rail 140, the translation rail 140 is arranged on the top of the discharge box 20, and the translation driving member 130 is arranged in the discharge box 20, the translation driving member 130 is used to drive the translation bracket 160 to move along the translation rail 140, and the translation rail 140 is arranged along the second reference line.

[0090] In the above-mentioned embodiments, the translation rail 140 is additionally arranged to bear the weight of the material table 300 and the ton bag, thereby reducing the load acting on the translation driving member 130.

[0091] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the clamping mechanism 200 includes a pair of clamping members 210 and a clamping driving member 220, the clamping driving member 220 is connected with the pair of clamping members 210, and the clamping driving member 220 is used to drive the pair of clamping members 210 to move close to or away from each other; wherein the clamping members 210 are provided with anti-slip structures on the sides opposite to each other.

[0092] In these embodiments, the clamping mechanism 200 includes at least a pair of clamping members 210 and a clamping driving member 220, and the clamping members 210 are provided with anti-slip structures. This ensures the stable fixation of the ton bag during unpacking.

[0093] The clamping members 210 are used to directly contact and fix the ton bag, ensuring that the ton bag will not slip or fall off during movement, turning, etc. The pair of clamping members 210 can move close to or away from each other to adapt to ton bags of different sizes and shapes. The clamping members 210 are provided with anti-slip structures on the sides opposite to each other, such as rubber pads, toothed patterns or other structures that increase friction, which can effectively prevent the ton bag from slipping during clamping.

[0094] Exemplarily, the clamping members 210 can be disc-shaped, square-shaped or arc-shaped, etc.

[0095] The clamping driving member 220 is connected with the clamping members 210 to provide the driving force required for clamping. The clamping driving member 220 is used to drive the pair of clamping members 210 to move close to each other (clamping) or away from each other (loosening), thereby realizing the fixation and release of the ton bag.

[0096] Exemplarily, the clamping driving member 220 can be an electric motor, a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, etc., and the specific selection depends on the application environment and performance requirements.

[0097] When the ton bag is placed on the material table 300, the clamping drive 220 is started, causing the pair of clamping pieces 210 to move closer to each other until they tightly clamp the ton bag. During the entire movement and overturning process, the clamping pieces 210 maintain stable clamping of the ton bag to prevent it from slipping or falling off. After the unloading is completed, the clamping drive 220 reverses its action, causing the pair of clamping pieces 210 to move away from each other, thereby releasing the ton bag, facilitating the removal of the empty ton bag and preparation for the next operation cycle.

[0098] As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 , in some embodiments, the clamping piece 210 is provided as a clamping disc, and the clamping drive 220 includes a pair of clamping arms 230 and hydraulic cylinders. The pair of clamping arms 230 are oppositely arranged, one end of the clamping arm 230 is hinged to the material table 300, the other end of the clamping arm 230 is hinged to the clamping disc, and each of the clamping arms 230 is hinged to the material table 300 by a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder is used to drive the clamping arm 230 to rotate, causing the pair of clamping arms 230 to move closer to or away from each other, thereby causing the pair of clamping discs to move closer to or away from each other.

[0099] In these embodiments, the clamping disc and the clamping arm 230 are hinged, which facilitates the clamping disc to adaptively adjust its position according to the shape of the ton bag, enhancing the clamping effect. Moreover, the pair of clamping arms 230 are respectively connected with hydraulic drive cylinders, which can control the action of the pair of clamping arms 230 respectively.

[0100] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the ton bag unpacking module 10 further includes a clamping mechanism 400, which is arranged on the material table 300. The clamping mechanism 400 is used to clamp the discharge port of the ton bag at the bottom of the material table 300.

[0101] This further enhances the safety, efficiency and stability of the ton bag unpacking process, especially when handling ton bags with discharge ports.

[0102] The main function of the clamping mechanism 400 is to firmly clamp the discharge port at the bottom of the ton bag during the unpacking process, preventing accidental leakage during movement, overturning or dumping of materials. By tightly clamping the discharge port, it can effectively prevent dust or other fine particles from escaping during the operation process, maintaining a clean and safe working environment, while further strengthening the clamping of the ton bag and ensuring the stable progress of the unloading process.

[0103] The clamping mechanism 400 is arranged on the material table 300, close to the discharge port at the bottom of the ton bag, ensuring that it can directly act on the discharge port. The clamping mechanism 400 has a certain flexibility to adapt to different sizes and types of discharge ports. In order to ensure firm clamping, the part of the clamping mechanism 400 that contacts the discharge port can use rubber pads, teeth, etc. to increase friction.

[0104] Exemplarily, the clamping mechanism 400 comprises a pair of clamping blocks 410 and a clamping drive 420 connected with the pair of clamping blocks 410, the clamping drive 420 being used to drive the pair of clamping blocks 410 to move closer to or away from each other, to perform the control clamping and loosening actions, so as to be able to clamp the discharge spout. The clamping drive 420 can be an electric motor, a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, and the specific selection depends on the application environment and performance requirements.

[0105] Exemplarily, the material table 300 is provided with an opening, the discharge spout is arranged in the opening, and the pair of clamping blocks 410 are respectively located on both sides of the opening. Of course, in order to ensure stability, the clamping blocks 410 and the material table 300 are in sliding fit. Specifically, the material table 300 has a sliding groove, and the clamping blocks 410 are arranged in sliding fit in the sliding groove, and the sliding groove is used to limit the clamping blocks 410 from disengaging. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the clamping blocks 410 are connected with the material table 300 through sliding rails.

[0106] Initial state: After the ton bag is placed on the material table 300, the clamping mechanism 400 is started to tightly clamp the discharge spout at the bottom of the ton bag, ensuring that it remains closed during the entire movement and overturning process. During the material pouring process, the clamping mechanism 400 continuously applies appropriate clamping force to prevent any material from leaking from the discharge spout and to provide additional clamping force for the ton bag. After the material pouring is completed, the clamping mechanism 400 loosens the discharge spout, and then the empty ton bag can be taken out and prepared for the next work cycle.

[0107] As shown in FIG. 4, Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 , in some embodiments, the present application also provides a ton bag unpacking machine, which comprises a discharging box 20 and a ton bag unpacking module 10 according to any one of the above embodiments; wherein the ton bag unpacking module 10 is arranged in the discharging box 20, the discharging box 20 has an inlet and outlet 21, the inlet and outlet 21 are provided with a sealable door 50 which can be at least partially removed, the sealable door 50 is used to close the inlet and outlet 21, and the material table 300 can pass through the inlet and outlet 21, so that the material table 300 can enter and exit the discharging box 20.

[0108] In these embodiments, the discharging box 20 serves as the main operating space for the entire unpacking process, and the discharging box 20 provides a closed environment to prevent dust and other pollutants from escaping. The discharging box 20 is provided with an inlet and outlet 21 to allow the material table 300 to enter and exit the discharging box 20, so as to load and take out the ton bag. The inlet and outlet 21 are provided with a sealable door 50 which can be at least partially removed, for closing the inlet and outlet 21, to ensure good sealing during the material pouring process. The sealable door 50 should consider the convenience of operation and the sealing effect, for example, by adding a sealing strip.

[0109] The ton bag unpacking module 10 is integrated within the unloading box 20, that is, the ton bag unpacking module 10 includes the material table 300, the clamping mechanism 200, the overturning mechanism 500, the moving mechanism 100, and the clamping mechanism 400, etc., all of which are arranged within the unloading box 20 to form a compact and sealable whole. The various components (such as the translation bracket 160, the rotation bracket 120, the overturning bracket 510, etc.) work together to achieve automatic loading, fixing, overturning, and unloading of the ton bag.

[0110] For ease of understanding, the working process is as follows:

[0111] Loading stage: open the sealing door 50, and use the moving mechanism 100 to move the material table 300 out of the unloading box 20. Outside the unloading box 20, open the material port at the upper end of the ton bag, place the ton bag on the material table 300 through the external hoisting mechanism, and fix the ton bag through the clamping mechanism 200. If the ton bag has a discharge port, use the clamping mechanism 400 to fix the discharge port.

[0112] Move to the unloading box 20: control the moving mechanism 100 to move the material table 300 and the ton bag on it back into the unloading box 20, and close the sealing door 50 to ensure that the operating environment is completely sealed.

[0113] Material pouring: use the overturning mechanism 500 to make the discharge port of the ton bag face downward, and start pouring the material. The overturning mechanism 500 can drive the material table 300 to gradually rotate around the second reference line to optimize the material outflow angle.

[0114] After unloading is completed: open the sealing door 50 again, and control the moving mechanism 100 to move the material table 300 out of the unloading box 20. Release the clamping mechanism 200 and the clamping mechanism 400, take out the empty ton bag, and prepare for the next operation cycle.

[0115] Therefore, the sealing door 50 ensures the sealing of the unloading box 20, effectively preventing dust leakage, and maintaining the cleanliness and safety of the working environment. Optionally, all actions are automatically performed by the control system, reducing manual intervention and improving operation efficiency. All components are integrated within the unloading box 20, saving space; at the same time, it is flexible to adapt to different sizes and types of ton bags. The combination of precise control and safety mechanisms ensures the safety of the operation, especially when handling easily dusted materials. Effective sealing and dust collection measures help reduce the impact on the environment and meet strict environmental standards. It should be noted that this ton bag unpacking machine is particularly suitable for enterprises that need to frequently handle ton bag materials, especially in the case of efficient and sealed unloading in limited space. Not only can it significantly improve the safety and efficiency of the unpacking process, but it can also improve the working environment and reduce occupational health risks.

[0116] Exemplarily, the sealing door 50 is set as an automatic door, such as a pneumatic cylinder drive, a hydraulic cylinder drive, etc. Of course, it can also be set as a manual door to open and close manually.

[0117] As shown in FIG. 4, Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the ton bag unpacking machine further comprises a dust removal mechanism, which comprises a dust collector 30 and a switch valve 40. The air inlet of the dust collector 30 is communicated with the discharge box 20, the ash outlet of the dust collector 30 is communicated with the inlet of the switch valve 40, and the outlet of the switch valve 40 is communicated with the discharge box 20.

[0118] This further enhances the function of the ton bag unpacking machine, ensuring that the dust generated during the unloading process is effectively treated, maintaining the cleanliness and safety of the working environment.

[0119] The dust collector 30 is used to capture and collect the dust generated during the unpacking process of the ton bag, preventing it from escaping into the environment. The air inlet of the dust collector 30 is communicated with the discharge box 20, ensuring that the air in the discharge box 20, including the dust particles suspended therein, can be extracted. The filter system inside the dust collector 30 is equipped with high-efficiency filter cartridges or filter bags, which can effectively filter and capture tiny dust particles, ensuring that the discharged air meets environmental protection standards.

[0120] Exemplarily, the dust collector 30 comprises a dust removal negative pressure fan and a filter system, and the dust removal negative pressure fan is connected with the discharge box 20 through the filter system.

[0121] The switch valve 40 controls the dust collected by the dust collector 30 to return to the discharge box 20, realizing the recycling or centralized treatment of the dust. The inlet of the switch valve 40 is communicated with the ash outlet of the dust collector 30 to receive the dust removed from the filter cartridges or filter bags. The outlet of the switch valve 40 is communicated with the discharge box 20 to send the collected dust back into the discharge box 20, avoiding secondary pollution.

[0122] Exemplarily, the switch valve 40 is a gate valve. Of course, it can also be a butterfly valve, a ball valve, etc.

[0123] Closed state: when the unpacking operation is performed, the switch valve 40 is in the closed state, ensuring that all the dust is captured by the dust collector 30.

[0124] Open state: when the collected dust needs to be cleaned or treated, the switch valve 40 is opened to send the dust back to the discharge box 20.

[0125] As previously described, the ton bag is placed on the platform 300 and fixed by the clamping mechanism 200. The ton bag is moved into the discharge box 20: after the sealing door 50 is closed, the material dumping process begins. During the material dumping process, the dust collector 30 is started to extract the air in the discharge box 20 through its air inlet, including the dust particles therein. The dust is captured by the filtering system in the dust collector 30, and the clean air is discharged through the air outlet. The collected dust is temporarily stored inside the dust collector 30. When it is necessary to handle the collected dust, the switch valve 40 is opened to allow the dust to enter the switch valve 40 through the dust outlet, and then return to the discharge box 20 from the outlet thereof. This process can be performed during the interval of the bag opening operation or at a specific time point, ensuring that the dust in the discharge box 20 is effectively managed.

[0126] Obviously, through effective dust removal measures, the impact of dust on the environment is reduced, meeting strict environmental protection standards. Keeping the environment inside and outside the discharge box 20 clean reduces the risk of workers contacting dust and protects occupational health. The collected dust can be sent back to the discharge box 20 through the switch valve 40, realizing the recycling of resources and reducing waste. The entire dust removal process can also be automatically executed through the control system, reducing manual intervention and improving operation efficiency.

[0127] Exemplarily, the dust collector 30 is a cyclone dust collector 30. Of course, in other embodiments, the dust collector 30 can also be a bag-type dust collector 30, etc.

[0128] In some embodiments, the switch valve 40 is provided in the plug valve, the dust collector 30 includes a dust removal fan 310 and a dust collector 30 body, the dust collector 30 body has a dust collector 30 inlet, a dust collector 30 discharge port and a dust collector 30 air outlet, the dust collector 30 discharge port communicates with the discharge box 20 through the plug valve, the dust collector 30 air outlet communicates with the dust removal fan 310, and the dust collector 30 inlet and the middle or top of the discharge box 20 communicate.

[0129] In some embodiments, the ton bag opening machine further includes a control system electrically connected with the ton bag opening module 10 and the discharge box 20 to realize automatic control and reduce manual intervention.

[0131] It should be noted that similar reference numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0132] The above embodiments only express several implementation ways of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation to the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
