Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An embodiment of this utility model provides an automated folding unloading enclosure box for an automobile production line, comprising a base 1, a fixing block 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a hydraulic cylinder 3 fixedly connected inside the fixing block 2, a first U-shaped block 4 fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 3, a connecting rod 5 fixedly connected inside the first U-shaped block 4, a pushing block 6 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 5, a limiting rod 7 rotatably connected inside the pushing block 6, a second U-shaped block 8 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod 7, a sliding column 9 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second U-shaped block 8, and the outer wall of the sliding column 9 slidably connected inside the base 1. A storage component is provided on the lower surface of the base 1.

[0024] Specifically, the base 1 provides fixed support for the fixing block 2, which in turn provides fixed support for the hydraulic cylinder 3. The hydraulic cylinder 3 drives the first U-shaped block 4, which in turn drives the connecting rod 5 to move. The connecting rod 5 drives the pushing block 6 to push the folded enclosure box. Simultaneously, the pushing block 6 drives the limiting rod 7, which in turn drives the second U-shaped block 8 to move. The pushing block 6 rotates on the outer wall of the limiting rod 7, thus limiting the pushing block 6. The second U-shaped block 8 drives the sliding column 9 to slide inside the base 1, thus limiting the sliding column 9.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The storage assembly includes a fixed plate 10, the upper surface of which is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base 1, and a storage box 11 fixedly connected inside the fixed plate 10; a support block 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate 10, and a motor 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support block 12; a first gear 14 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 13; a storage plate 15 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first gear 14, and the lower surface of the storage plate 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate 10; a rack 16 is meshed with the tooth end of the first gear 14, and a slide rail 17 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the rack 16; the lower surface of the slide rail 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate 10, and a second gear 18 is meshed with the tooth end of the rack 16;

[0026] Specifically, the fixing plate 10 provides fixed support for the base 1 and the storage box 11, which serves as a storage container. The support block 12 provides fixed support for the motor 13. A fixing rod is installed inside the first gear 14. The motor 13 drives the fixing rod inside the first gear 14 to rotate inside the storage plate 15, thereby limiting the fixing rod inside the first gear 14. The first gear 14 drives the rack 16 to slide on the inner wall of the slide rail 17. The fixing plate 10 provides fixed support for the slide rail 17, which in turn provides auxiliary support and limits the rack 16. The rack 16 drives the second gear 18 to rotate.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The second gear 18 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 19, and the outer wall of the rotating plate 19 is rotatably connected to the inside of the shelf 15; the lower surface of the rotating plate 19 is attached to a support plate 20, and the lower surface of the support plate 20 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate 10.

[0028] Specifically, the second gear 18 drives the rotating plate 19 to rotate inside the shelf 15. The shelf 15 limits the rotation of the rotating plate 19. The fixing plate 10 provides fixed support for the support plate 20, which in turn provides auxiliary support for the rotating plate 19. The shelf 15 has a rotating plate 19 and a second gear 18 on both sides. The rotating plate 19 and the second gear 18 on both sides of the shelf 15 are used to fold the enclosure box.

[0029] Working principle: When the equipment is needed, the collapsible box is placed on the upper surface of the storage plate 15. The motor 13 on the upper surface of the support block 12 is started. The motor 13 drives the first gear 14 to rotate inside the storage plate 15. The first gear 14 then drives the rack 16 to slide on the inner wall of the slide rail 17. The rack 16 then drives the second gear 18 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 18 drives the rotating plate 19 to rotate inside the storage plate 15, thereby folding the collapsible box. After folding, the collapsible box can be stacked for storage, reducing the storage area.

[0030] The hydraulic cylinder 3 inside the fixed block 2 is activated, which drives the first U-shaped block 4 and then the connecting rod 5 to move. The connecting rod 5 drives the pushing block 6 to push the folded box into the storage box 11. At the same time, the pushing block 6 drives the limiting rod 7 and then the second U-shaped block 8 to move. The second U-shaped block 8 drives the sliding column 9 to slide inside the base 1. This equipment can not only quickly and accurately push the box to the designated position and unload it, reducing waiting time and improving production efficiency, but also automatically stack the box, reducing manual folding operations, lowering labor intensity and labor costs, avoiding efficiency fluctuations caused by manual operation, and reducing the warehouse floor space.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
