[0002] In the field of packaging machinery automation, carton opening is a crucial link connecting the supply of packaging materials with subsequent production processes. Traditional carton opening methods mainly suffer from the following technical bottlenecks: First, manual opening is inefficient, labor-intensive, and difficult to adapt to the high-speed operation requirements of modern production lines. Furthermore, uneven opening force during manual operation can lead to box deformation. Second, existing automated carton opening equipment mostly adopts a fixed mechanical structure, which has poor adaptability to changes in carton size. When product specifications need to be changed, this equipment requires long-term downtime for adjustment, severely restricting the production line's capacity.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical pain points, this utility model provides a vertical box-opening machine, which combines efficient box opening, precise positioning, and rapid changeover capabilities. This effectively balances the contradiction between equipment performance and manufacturing costs, and is particularly suitable for industries with high requirements for box opening efficiency and quality, such as food packaging and daily chemical product packaging.

Therefore, the feeding component 1, as the starting point of the entire box-opening process, is used to transport the unopened product 4 to a designated position so that the box-opening component 3 can perform adsorption and box-opening operations. The box-opening component 3 is the execution component of the entire box-opening process. Its function is to adsorb the unopened product 4 from the feeding component 1, so that the product 4 changes from a planar state to a three-dimensional state. It also limits and fits the opened product 4 onto the product limiting component 2. The product limiting component 2 is the limiting and transmission platform for the opened product 4, ensuring that the product maintains a stable position and posture during and after the box-opening process, and driving the opened product 4 into the next station.

[0026] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the feeding assembly 1 includes a first support frame 10, a first driving component 11, and a transmission end limiting block 12.

Therefore, the first support frame 10, as the load-bearing component of the feeding assembly 1, provides a stable mounting platform for components such as the first drive component 11, the transmission end limiting block 12, and the side limiting frame 13. The first drive component 11 is the power source of the feeding assembly 1, driving the transmission end limiting block 12 to move. The function of the transmission end limiting block 12 is to directly contact the unopened product 4 and push the unopened product 4 towards the opening assembly 3.

Therefore, the second support frame 20, as the load-bearing component of the product limiting assembly 2, provides a stable mounting platform for the second drive component 21, the conveyor belt component 22, and the adjustable gripper 23 component. The second drive component 21 is the power source of the product limiting assembly 2, providing power to the drive conveyor belt component 22 to ensure that the conveyor belt component 22 can run at a predetermined speed and direction. The conveyor belt component 22 drives several adjustable grippers 23 to move. The adjustable grippers 23 limit the product 4 after it has been opened, preventing the product from shifting or tilting during subsequent processing, inspection, or packaging. The adjustable grippers 23 are equipped with an adjustment structure, which can adjust the position and clamping force of the grippers according to the shape, size, and weight of different products, ensuring effective limiting and fixing of various products, thereby improving the applicability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the box-opening assembly 3 includes a third support frame 30, a third driving component 31, a slide rail component 32, and a sliding frame 33. The third driving component 31 is used to drive the sliding frame 33 to reciprocate on the slide rail component 32. The sliding frame 33 is provided with at least one adsorption element 34, which is used to adsorb the unopened product 4. Therefore, the third support frame 30 serves as the load-bearing component of the box-opening assembly 3, providing a stable mounting platform for other components. The third drive component 31 is the power source of the box-opening assembly 3, driving the sliding frame 33 to reciprocate on the slide rail component 32. The slide rail component 32 provides a smooth sliding track for the sliding frame 33, ensuring that the sliding frame 33 maintains a stable direction and position during movement, reducing friction and wear. The sliding frame 33 serves as the mounting base for the adsorption elements 34, ensuring that they can move synchronously with the sliding frame 33, thereby realizing the box-opening operation of the product. The adsorption elements 34 adsorb the unopened product 4, grabbing and fixing the product 4 by generating negative pressure or using other principles, preventing it from moving or falling off during the box-opening process.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the vertical box-opening machine also includes a feeding component 5, which is disposed at the other end of the product limiting component 2. The feeding component 5 includes a fourth support frame 50, a discharge conveyor belt 51, a fourth drive component 52, and a picking component 53. The discharge conveyor belt 51, the fourth drive component 52, and the picking component 53 are all mounted on the fourth support frame 50. The fourth drive component 52 is used to drive the discharge conveyor belt 51 to rotate. The discharge conveyor belt 51 is used to transport the opened product 4. The picking component 53 is used to transport the opened product 4, which is limited by the product limiting component 2, onto the discharge conveyor belt 51. Therefore, the fourth support frame 50 serves as the load-bearing component of the unloading assembly 5. The fourth support frame 50 provides a stable mounting platform for the discharge conveyor belt 51, the fourth drive component 52, and the picking component 53, ensuring that these components maintain the correct position and posture during operation. The discharge conveyor belt 51 is responsible for transporting the opened product 4 from the other end of the product limiting component 2 to the next process or designated position, ensuring that the product can smoothly enter the subsequent processing flow. The fourth drive component 52 provides power to the discharge conveyor belt 51, driving it to rotate. The picking component 53 plays the role of transporting the opened product 4, which is limited on the product limiting component 2, to the discharge conveyor belt 51.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the side limiting frame 13 includes a fifth support frame 130, an adjusting limiting block 131, a connecting rod 132, and a guide plate 133. The limiting frame is installed on the first support frame 10, the adjusting limiting block 131 is limited and fitted on the fifth support frame 130, the connecting rod 132 is limited within the adjusting limiting block 131, and the guide plate 133 is connected and fitted to one end of the connecting rod 132. Therefore, the fifth support frame 130, as the support structure of the side limiting frame 13, is fixed on the first support frame 10, providing a stable installation base for the adjusting limiting block 131. The adjusting limiting block 131 can adapt to products of different sizes by adjusting the positions of the connecting rod 132 and the guide plate 133. The connecting rod 132 connects the adjusting limiting block 131 and the guide plate 133, driving the guide plate 133 to adjust its position. The guide plate 133, through its shape and position, provides lateral guidance and limitation for the product, ensuring that the product maintains the correct direction and position during transportation and preventing the product from shifting or tilting during transportation.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottom of the feeding component 1 is provided with an adjusting moving component 6. The adjusting moving component 6 is used to adjust the position of the feeding component 1. The adjusting moving component 6 includes a second slide rail 60, a base 61, a lifting component 62, and a sixth driving component 63. The bottom of the base 61 is slidably engaged with the second slide rail 60. The movable end of the sixth driving component 63 is connected and engaged with the base 61. The sixth driving component 63 is used to push the base 61 to move. The lifting component 62 is installed on the base 61 and is used to lift the feeding component 1. Therefore, the second slide rail 60 serves as the sliding track for the base 61, providing a smooth and precise movement path for the base 61, ensuring that the base 61 maintains a stable direction and position during movement. The base 61, as the supporting structure of the adjusting and moving component 6, supports the feeding component 1 and the lifting component 62, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire component. The sixth drive component 63 serves as the power source, pushing the base 61 to move along the second slide rail 60, realizing the horizontal position adjustment of the feeding component 1, ensuring that the feeding component 1 can accurately reach the predetermined position. The lifting component 62 provides lifting and lowering motion to the feeding component 1, realizing the vertical position adjustment of the feeding component 1. By adjusting the height of the feeding component 1, it can adapt to the needs of different working scenarios, ensuring that the feeding component 1 can accurately dock with other equipment or components on the production line.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the material-picking component 53 includes a sliding cylinder. The sliding cylinder is positioned and engaged at one end of the fourth support frame 50 near the product positioning component 2. At least one adsorption element 34 is provided on the telescopic end of the sliding cylinder. The adsorption element 34 adsorbs and engages with the product 4 after it has been opened. Thus, the sliding cylinder is the power source of the material-picking component 53. Its telescopic movement drives the adsorption element 34 to move linearly back and forth. The adsorption element 34, by generating negative pressure or utilizing other adsorption principles, forms a stable adsorption engagement with the product 4 after it has been opened, thereby grabbing the product and bringing it onto the discharge conveyor belt 51.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0034] Several unopened products move toward the opening assembly 2 under the push of the transmission end limiting block 12. The third driving component 31 drives the sliding frame 33 to move back and forth. The adsorption element 34 adsorbs and engages with the side with the largest area of ​​the unopened product 4, and pulls the adsorbed side to move. The other side of the product 4 is still fixed to the feeding assembly 1. When the pulling force exceeds the limit force of the feeding assembly 1, the unopened product 4 becomes the opened product 4. The sliding frame 33 continues to move so that the opened product 4 is completely detached from the feeding assembly 1. The opened product 4 is limited and engaged with the adjustable gripper 22 on the product limiting assembly 2. The second driving component 21 drives the conveyor belt component 22 to move, and the conveyor belt component 22 drives the opened product 4 to rotate. At the same time, the top pressing component 40, the bottom pressing component 41 and the side guiding component 42 respectively limit and fold the top, bottom and side of the opened product 4. When the opened product 4 flows into one end of the conveyor belt component 22, the picking component 53 transports the opened product 4 limited on the product limiting component 2 to the discharge conveyor belt 51. The discharge conveyor belt 51 transports the opened product 4 to the next process or a designated position to ensure that the product can smoothly enter the subsequent packaging, testing or other processing processes.
