Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0033] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0034] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0037] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element.

[0038] In the medical field, storage boxes are needed to store medical supplies. In related technologies, the storage box includes a slidingly fitted box body and a lid 700. A guide groove is provided on the side area at the box body entrance, and the end of the lid 700 abuts against the groove wall. By providing a guide groove on the box body, and the groove wall abutting against the end of the lid 700, the lid 700 is prevented from sliding out of the box body. When the lid is not needed, the groove wall limits the lid 700 and the box body. When the lid needs to be opened, the end of the lid 700 overlaps the groove wall, creating a gap between the end of the lid 700 and the box body, facilitating subsequent sliding of the lid 700.
[0039] Specifically, an opening 710 is provided on the lid 700. When it is necessary to open the storage box, it is usually done manually by reaching into the opening 710, prying up the lid 700 so that the end of the lid 700 is positioned above the groove wall of the guide groove, and then sliding the lid 700 away from the box body to open the lid. However, manual opening is not only wasteful of manpower, but also relatively inefficient.
[0040] Therefore, this application provides a lid-opening device for separating the lid 700 of a storage box from the box body, wherein the lid 700 has an opening 710. For example... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the lid opening device includes: a lid opening assembly 400, a third motion assembly 300, and a second motion assembly 200. The lid opening assembly 400 includes a fourth driving member 410 and a lid opening member 420, which is rotatably connected to the output end 412 of the fourth driving member 410. The lid opening member 420 is used to extend into the opening 710, and the fourth driving member 410 is used to drive the lid opening member 420 to rotate, thereby pushing the lid 700 to move. The third motion assembly 300 is connected to the lid opening assembly 400 and is used to drive the lid opening assembly 400 to move along a third direction, wherein the third direction is parallel to the direction in which the lid 700 slides relative to the box. The second motion assembly 200 is connected to the third motion assembly 300 and is used to drive the third motion assembly 300 to move along a second direction, wherein the second direction and the third direction have an angle between them.
[0041] The aforementioned lid-opening device connects the second motion component 200 to the third motion component 300. The second motion component 200 drives the third motion component 300 to move along the second direction, which in turn drives the lid-opening component 400 to move along the second direction, thereby causing the lid-opening member 420 to extend into the opening 710 of the lid body 700. The lid-opening member 420 is rotatably connected to the output end 412 of the fourth drive component 410. When the lid-opening member 420 of the lid-opening component 400 extends into the opening 710 of the lid body 700, the fourth drive component 410 drives the lid-opening member 420 to rotate, thereby pushing the lid body 700 to move, causing the lid body 700 to tilt upward relative to the box body, and thus causing the lid body 700 to overlap the groove wall of the guide groove of the box body. Then, the third motion component 300 drives the lid-opening component 400 to move along the third direction, thereby realizing the separation of the lid body 700 and the box body. This application first utilizes the second motion component 200 to extend the opening member 420 of the opening component 400 into the opening 710 of the cover 700. Then, the opening component 400 tilts the cover 700 upwards relative to the box body, causing the end of the cover 700 to overlap the groove wall of the guide groove, facilitating subsequent sliding of the cover 700. Finally, the third motion component pushes the opening component to move in a third direction, thus realizing the opening action. Compared with existing manual opening, the opening device of this application can achieve mechanized opening, saving manpower and improving opening efficiency.
[0042] It is understandable that a sliding structure is provided between the body and the lid 700 of the storage box. When driven by the third motion component 300, the driving direction of the third motion component 300 must be the same as the sliding direction of the lid 700 in order to achieve the purpose of driving the lid 700 to slide. Therefore, the third motion component 300 can drive the opening component 400 and the lid 700 to slide along a third direction, which is parallel to the direction in which the lid 700 slides relative to the box body.
[0043] It should be noted that the third motion component 300 drives the cover opening component 400 to slide in a third direction in two ways: one is pushing, and the other is pulling. The specific driving form is determined according to the setting position of the third motion component.
[0044] Specifically, the shape of the opening 420 is adapted to the shape of the opening 710. When the opening 420 is inserted into the opening 710, the opening 420 only needs to abut against the side wall of the opening 710 to cause the cover 700 to tilt upward.
[0045] More specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the cover opening member 420 is a columnar member, and a friction surface is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cover opening member 420. The friction surface can abut against the side wall of the opening 710, increasing the contact area between the cover opening member 420 and the side wall of the opening 710, increasing the friction force, and improving the effect of the upturned cover 700.
[0046] In other embodiments, the cover opening member 420 can be configured with any structure, as long as the cover opening member 420 can extend into the opening 710 and the cover body 700 is tilted upwards.
[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fourth driving component 410 is a cylinder. In other embodiments, the fourth driving component 410 can also be a linear motor or other structure, as long as it can drive the cover opening component 420 to lift the cover 700.
[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fourth driving member 410 has a mounting end 411 and an output end 412 disposed opposite to each other. The output end 412 is rotatably connected to the cover opening member 420. The distance between the mounting end 411 and the cover 700 along the second direction is greater than the distance between the output end 412 and the cover 700 along the second direction, where the second direction is the vertical direction. The distance between the mounting end 411 and the cover 700 along the second direction is greater than the distance between the output end 412 and the cover 700 along the second direction, that is, in... Figure 1 and Figure 2From the perspective of the installation end 411 being higher than the output end 412, the fourth driving member 410 is in an inclined state, so that when the fourth driving member 410 drives the cover opening member 420 to move, the cover opening member 420 can lift the cover 700.
[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cover opening assembly 400 includes a fourth fixed base 430 connected to the third motion assembly 300. The mounting end 411 of the fourth driving member 410 is rotatably connected to the fourth fixed base 430. The cover opening member 420 passes through the fourth fixed base 430 and is rotatably connected to it. By providing the fourth fixed base 430, it is convenient to install the fourth driving member 410, allowing the fourth driving member 410 to be inclined. The cover opening member 420 passes through the fourth fixed base 430 and can extend into the opening 710 of the cover body 700 by being driven by the fourth driving member 410. The fourth fixed base 430 is connected to the third motion assembly 300, and the third motion assembly 300 drives the fourth fixed base 430, the cover opening member 420, and the fourth driving member 410 to move in a third direction.
[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fourth mounting base 430 includes a first mounting portion 431, a second mounting portion 432, and a third mounting portion 433. The first mounting portion 431 and the second mounting portion 432 are arranged at an angle, and the third mounting portion 433 is connected to the end of the first mounting portion 431 opposite to the second mounting portion 432. The first mounting portion 431 is connected to the third motion component 300, and the third mounting portion 433 has a receiving cavity 435 communicating with the outside. The mounting end 411 extends at least partially into the receiving cavity 435 and is rotatably connected to the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 435. The cover opening member 420 passes through the second mounting portion 432. By setting the third mounting portion 433 at the end of the first mounting portion 431 opposite to the second mounting portion 432, the mounting end 411 of the fourth driving member 410 is placed in the receiving cavity 435 of the third mounting portion 433, and the cover opening member 420 passes through the second mounting portion 432, thereby causing the fourth driving member 410 to be installed at an angle on the fourth mounting base 430. The first mounting part 431 is connected to the third motion component 300. When the cover opening part 420 extends into the opening 710, the third motion component 300 can drive the cover opening component 400 and the cover body 700 to move synchronously in the third direction.
[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first mounting part 431 extends along the second direction toward the side opposite to the third motion component 300.
[0052] More specifically, in this embodiment, the first mounting portion 431 and the second mounting portion 432 are in the shape of straight plates, and the included angle between the first mounting portion 431 and the second mounting portion 432 is 90°.
[0053] In other embodiments, the included angle between the first mounting part 431 and the second mounting part 432 is greater than 0° and less than 180°. The included angle between the first mounting part 431 and the second mounting part 432 is set according to the operational requirements, such as 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 100°, 110°, 120°, 130°, 140°, 150°, 160°, and 170°.
[0054] More specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting end 411 of the fourth driving member 410 is rotatably connected to the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 435 via the first rotating shaft 450, wherein the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 450 is perpendicular to the third direction.
[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a through hole 434 is provided on the second mounting part 432 for the cover opening member 420 to pass through.
[0056] More specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cover opening component 420 is rotatably connected to the wall of the through hole 434 via the second rotating shaft 460, wherein the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 460 is parallel to the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 450.
[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cover opening assembly 400 includes a joint joint 440, and a fourth drive member 410 is rotatably connected to the cover opening member 420 via the joint joint 440. By providing the joint joint 440, the output end 412 of the fourth drive member 410 and the cover opening member 420 are connected.
[0058] More specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the joint 440 is rotatably connected to the cover 420 via a third rotating shaft 470, wherein the axial direction of the third rotating shaft 470 is parallel to the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 450.
[0059] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the third motion assembly 300 includes a third driving member 310 and a third fixed base 320 connected together. The output end of the third driving member 310 is connected to the fourth driving member 410. The third fixed base 320 is provided with a pressing part 340, which is used to press against the cover 700. The third driving member 310 is installed on the third fixed base 320, and the output end of the third driving member 310 of the third motion assembly 300 is connected to the fourth driving member 410 through the fourth fixed base 430 of the cover opening assembly 400. The third driving member 310 drives the cover opening assembly 400 to move in a third direction, thereby realizing the cover opening action. The pressing part 340 is provided on the third fixed base 320. When the cover opening member 420 lifts the cover 700, the pressing part 340 presses against the box body. The force applied by the cover opening member 420 to the cover 700 is opposite to the force applied by the pressing part 340 to the box body, thereby facilitating the lifting of the cover 700.
[0060] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the output end of the third drive unit 310 is connected to the first mounting part 431 of the fourth fixed base 430.
[0061] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the fourth fixing seat 430 is at least partially attached to the third fixing seat 320.
[0062] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the third fixing base 320 is provided with two pressing parts 340. The two pressing parts 340 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction, wherein the conveying direction is the direction of conveying the storage box, and the conveying direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0063] More specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, two pressing parts 340 and a third fixing seat 320 surround to form a clearance part 330. The cover opening part 420 passes through the clearance part 330 and can extend into the opening 710. The cover opening part 420 can pass through the through hole 434 and the clearance part 330 in sequence and extend into the opening 710.
[0064] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the second motion component 200 includes a second drive member 210. The output end of the second drive member 210 is connected to the third motion component 300. The second drive member 210 can drive the third motion component 300 and the cover opening component 400 to move along a second direction, wherein the second direction is a vertical direction. By setting the second motion component 200 and connecting the output end of the second drive member 210 to the third fixed base 320 of the third motion component 300, the second drive member 210 can drive the third fixed base 320 and the cover opening component 400 to move downward along the second direction, which not only presses the pressing part 340 onto the box body, but also simultaneously causes the cover opening component 420 to extend into the opening 710 of the cover body 700.
[0065] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the second motion component 200 includes a second fixed base 220 connected to the second drive member 210.
[0066] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the lid-opening device also includes a first motion component 100, which includes a first drive member connected to the second motion component 200. The first drive member can drive the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300, and the lid-opening component 400 to move along a third direction. By connecting the output end of the first drive member to the second fixed base 220 of the second motion component 200, the first drive member can drive the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300, and the lid-opening component 400 to move along a third direction, thereby simultaneously moving away from or towards the storage box.
[0067] In this embodiment, the first driving member of the first motion component 100 can drive the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300 and the cover opening component 400 to move in a third direction.
[0068] In other embodiments, the first drive member of the first motion component 100 can drive the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300, and the lid opening component 400 to move in any direction, as long as they can get closer to or further away from the storage box.
[0069] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first driving member, the second driving member 210, and the third driving member 310 are cylinders. In other embodiments, the first driving member, the second driving member 210, and the third driving member 310 can be any driving member, as long as they can drive the structure connected to them to move.
[0070] In summary, the opening device of this application, when it is necessary to open the storage box:
[0071] The first motion component 100 drives the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300, and the lid opening component 400 to move synchronously closer to the storage box.
[0072] The second motion component 200 drives the third motion component 300 and the cover opening component 400 to move downward in the second direction, thereby pressing the pressing part 340 against the box body and extending the cover opening component 420 into the opening 710 of the cover body 700.
[0073] The fourth driving member 410 of the opening assembly 400 extends, driving the opening member 420 to lift the cover 700;
[0074] The third motion component 300 drives the opening component 400 and the cover 700 to move along a third direction, thereby separating the cover 700 from the box and completing the opening action;
[0075] The fourth driving member 410 retracts, the third driving member 310 retracts, the second driving member 210 extends and moves upward, the pressing part 340 separates from the box, and the opening member 420 retracts to the outside of the opening 710.
[0076] The first drive component retracts, causing the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300, and the lid opening component 400 to move away from the storage box simultaneously.
[0077] This application also provides a lid-opening production line, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the device includes a collection box 500, a platform 600, and an opening device for any of the above-mentioned components. The platform 600 is used to support the storage box. The collection box 500 and the opening device are respectively disposed on both sides of the platform 600 along a third direction. A third motion component 300 is used to drive the lid 700 to move along a third direction towards the side closer to the collection box 500, so that the lid 700 can enter the collection box 500. Using the platform 600 to support the storage box to be opened, and with the opening device and the platform 600 positioned along a third direction, when the third motion component 300 of the opening device pushes the lid 700 to move along a third direction towards the side closer to the collection box 500, the lid 700 can fall into the collection box 500 for storage.
[0078] Specifically, the platform 600 is provided with a positioning groove, and the storage box is placed in the positioning groove.
[0079] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the lid-opening production line also includes a conveyor belt, which is positioned between the collection box 500 and the first motion component 100. The third direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. Multiple carrier platforms 600 are mounted on the conveyor belt, each carrying a storage box. The use of the conveyor belt to transport the storage boxes improves transport efficiency. Furthermore, the third direction is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, meaning the pushing direction of the third motion component 300 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, preventing collisions between the lid-opening device and the conveyor belt.
[0080] More specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the third direction, the second direction, and the conveying direction of the conveyor belt are perpendicular to each other.
[0081] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the platform 600 is connected to the collection box 500 via a storage plate 510, and the separated cover 700 can enter the collection box 500 through the storage plate 510. By setting the storage plate 510, when the third motion component 300 pushes the cover 700 relatively away from the box, the separated cover 700 enters the collection box 500 through the storage plate 510 for collection.
[0082] More specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the storage plate 510 includes a first storage section 511 and a second storage section 512 arranged at an angle. The second storage section 512 extends into the collection box 500. The separated lid 700 can flow into the collection box 500 after passing through the first storage section 511 and the second storage section 512 in sequence. By setting the storage plate 510, when the third motion component 300 pushes the lid 700 relatively away from the box, under the action of gravity, the separated lid 700 falls into the first storage section 511, and then slides into the collection box 500 in sequence through the first storage section 511 and the second storage section 512.
[0083] More specifically, in this embodiment, the included angle between the first storage portion 511 and the second storage portion 512 is an obtuse angle, and the second storage portion 512 extends downward on the side away from the first storage portion 511. In other embodiments, the included angle between the first storage portion 511 and the second storage portion 512 is adjusted according to actual operational needs.
[0084] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the opening production line also includes a fixed platform 520 and a support shaft 530. The collection box 500 is set on the fixed platform 520, and the storage plate 510 is connected to the fixed platform 520 through the support shaft 530.
[0085] This application also provides a method of using a cap-opening production line employing any of the above-mentioned cap-opening devices, the method of using the cap-opening production line including:
[0086] Control the conveyor belt to move the storage box to the first position;
[0087] The third motion component 300 is moved by the first motion component 100 and the second motion component 200 so that the pressing part 340 is fixed on the body of the storage box and the opening part 420 of the opening component 400 extends into the opening 710 of the lid 700 of the storage box.
[0088] The fourth driving component 410 drives the opening component 420 to rotate, and the opening component 420 contacts the cover 700, so that the cover 700 separates from the box.
[0089] The third motion component 300 drives the cover 700 to move toward the storage plate 510, and the cover 700 enters the collection box 500 through the storage plate 510.
[0090] The above-mentioned opening production line is used as follows: First, the storage box is moved to the first position using a conveyor belt; then, the first motion component 100 and the second motion component 200 drive the third motion component 300 to move, so that the pressing part 340 of the third motion component 300 is fixed on the box body of the storage box, and the opening component 420 extends into the opening 710 of the cover 700; next, the fourth driving component 410 drives the opening component 420 to rotate, so that the opening component 420 contacts the cover 700, and the opening component 420 makes the cover 700 tilt upward relative to the box body, and the end of the cover 700 overlaps the groove wall of the guide groove; finally, the third motion component 300 drives the opening component 400 to carry the cover 700 as a whole and move it in a third direction toward the storage plate 510, so that the cover 700 enters the collection box 500 through the storage plate 510, completing the opening action. Compared to existing manual cap opening methods, the cap opening device of this application can achieve mechanized cap opening, saving manpower and improving cap opening efficiency.
[0091] Furthermore, before the storage box reaches the first position: the first motion component 100 drives the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300, and the opening component 400 to move, so as to avoid the conveyor belt and the storage box. The first position refers to the opening device and the collection box 500 being respectively positioned on both sides of the storage box along a third direction. Before the storage box reaches the first position, the first motion component 100 drives the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300, and the opening component 400 to avoid the conveyor belt and the storage box, preventing the opening device from colliding with the conveyor belt and the storage box.
[0092] It should be noted that before the storage box reaches the first position, there are two possible scenarios:
[0093] In the first scenario, the conveyor belt has not yet started transporting the storage box. In this case, the first motion component 100 can drive the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300, and the lid opening component 400 to move to avoid the obstacle. In the second scenario, the conveyor belt has started transporting the storage box, but the storage box has not yet reached the first position. In this case, the first motion component 100 can also drive the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300, and the lid opening component 400 to move, thereby achieving the purpose of avoiding the obstacle.
[0094] Furthermore, the third motion component 300 is moved by the first motion component 100 and the second motion component 200 to fix the pressing part 340 to the body of the storage box and to allow the opening component 420 to extend into the opening 710 of the lid 700 of the storage box, including:
[0095] The first driving component drives the second motion component 200 and the third motion component 300 to move along a third direction toward the side closer to the housing;
[0096] After the first driving member completes its movement, the second driving member 210 drives the third motion component 300 to move vertically along the second direction toward the side closer to the box body, so that the pressing part 340 presses against the box body of the storage box, and the opening part 420 extends into the opening 710 of the lid 700 of the storage box.
[0097] After the storage box reaches the first position, the first motion component 100 drives the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300, and the lid opening component 400 to move along the third direction to the second position. The second position refers to the lid opening component 420 and the opening 710 being arranged along the second direction, with the lid opening component 420 positioned above the opening 710. When in the second position, the second motion component 200 drives the lid opening component 400 and the third motion component 300 to move downward along the second direction, so that the pressing part 340 presses against the box body, and the lid opening component 420 extends into the opening 710.
[0098] It should be noted that when the storage box reaches the first position, that is, the opening device and the collection box 500 are respectively set on both sides of the storage box along the third direction, the first motion component 100 can drive the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300 and the opening component 400 to approach the storage box and move to the second position. Then, the second motion component 200 drives the third motion component 300 and the opening component 400 to move downward along the second direction, so that the pressing part 340 presses the box body, the opening part 420 extends into the opening 710, and then the opening step is performed.
[0099] Furthermore, after the cover 700 enters the collection box 500 through the storage plate 510:
[0100] The fourth drive unit 410 and the third drive unit 310 retract sequentially;
[0101] The second motion component 200 drives the cover opening component 400 and the third motion component 300 to move upward along the second direction;
[0102] Waiting for the conveyor belt to transport the next storage box to be opened to the first position.
[0103] After the storage box in the first position is opened, that is, after the lid 700 enters the collection box 500 through the storage plate 510, the fourth drive member 410 retracts first, causing the opening member 420 to retract, and then the third drive member 310 retracts, thereby driving the opening assembly 400 to move towards the side of the collection box 500 in the third direction. Then the second drive member 210 extends, thereby driving the opening assembly 400 and the third drive member upward away from the storage box in the first position in the second direction. Then wait for the conveyor belt to transport the next storage box to be opened to the first position for the next opening process.
[0104] In summary, this application provides the specific steps for using the can-opening production line:
[0105] The first driving component retracts, causing the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300, and the cover opening component 400 to avoid the obstruction;
[0106] The conveyor belt transports the storage box to the first position;
[0107] The first driving member extends and drives the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300 and the opening component 400 to move to the second position along the third direction towards the side closer to the collection box 500. At this time, the opening component 420 and the opening 710 are arranged along the second direction, and the opening component 420 is positioned above the opening 710.
[0108] The second drive member 210 of the second motion component 200 retracts, causing the pressing part 340 on the third fixed seat 320 to press the box body of the storage box, while the opening member 420 of the opening component 400 extends into the opening 710 of the cover body 700.
[0109] The fourth drive component 410 of the cover opening component 400 extends, causing the cover opening component 420 to lift the cover body 700;
[0110] The third drive member 310 of the third motion component 300 extends out and pushes the opening component 400 and the cover 700 synchronously, so that they move towards the side of the collection box 500 in a third direction. Then, under the action of gravity, the cover 700 falls into the collection box 500 through the storage plate 510.
[0111] The fourth driving member 410 retracts, the third driving member 310 retracts, the second driving member 210 extends and moves upward, the pressing part 340 separates from the box, and the opening member 420 retracts to the outside of the opening 710.
[0112] The first drive component retracts, causing the second motion component 200, the third motion component 300, and the lid opening component 400 to move along a third direction away from the collection box 500 to avoid it, while waiting for the transport belt to transport the next storage box to the first position.
[0113] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
