Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of the utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 The material box opening device includes a bracket 1; a workbench 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket 1, and a material box alignment device 3, a box body fixing device 4, and a box lid gripping device 5 are also provided above the workbench 2.

[0027] Specifically, the bracket 1 includes two front columns 101 and two rear columns 102; a crossbeam 103 is fixedly connected between adjacent front columns 101 and rear columns 102. There are two crossbeams. A workbench 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the two crossbeams 103. A first mounting beam 104 is fixedly connected to the top of the two front columns 101, and a second mounting beam 105 is fixedly connected to the top of the two rear columns 102.

[0028] In this solution, a recessed box lid placement slot 201 is provided on the right side of the workbench 2, with openings at the top and right side of the box lid placement slot 201; the removed box lids can be temporarily stored in the box lid placement slot 201.

[0029] The hopper alignment device 3 includes two sets of alignment cylinders 301 arranged diagonally. The alignment cylinders 301 are fixedly mounted on the first cylinder mounting base 302. One first cylinder mounting base 302 is fixedly mounted on the top of the first mounting beam 104, and the other first cylinder mounting base 302 is fixedly mounted on the top of the second mounting beam 105. An alignment clamping block 303 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the alignment cylinder 301. The front end of the alignment clamping block 303 is provided with a right-angled clamping opening 304.

[0030] The worker places the material box on the workbench 2. Since the worker places the material box by sight, he can only place it in an approximate position. At this time, the box alignment device 3 is activated. Two alignment cylinders 301 extend at the same time, and two alignment clamping blocks 303 approach the opposite corner of the material box, thereby pushing the material box to the predetermined position. Then the alignment cylinders 301 retract.

[0031] The box body fixing device 4 includes two fixing cylinders 401 arranged symmetrically front and rear. The fixing cylinders 401 are fixedly installed on the top of the second cylinder mounting seat 402. One of the second cylinder mounting seats 402 is fixedly installed on the top of the first mounting beam 104, and the other second cylinder mounting seat 402 is fixedly installed on the top of the second mounting beam 105.

[0032] A fixing clamping block 403 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the fixing cylinder 401, and a rubber pad 404 is glued to the bottom of the front end of the fixing clamping block 403.

[0033] After the box alignment device 3 adjusts the position of the box, the fixing cylinder 401 moves the fixing clamping block 403 forward, and the rubber pad 404 at the bottom front end of the fixing clamping block 403 contacts the box. The box fixing device 4 fixes the box by relying on the friction between the rubber pad 404 and the box to prevent the box from moving.

[0034] The lid gripping device 5 includes a linear module 501, which is horizontally arranged along the left and right direction and is fixedly installed on the top of the second mounting beam 105 via a module mounting base 502; a lifting cylinder 503 is vertically fixedly installed at the front end of the slide of the linear module 501.

[0035] The output shaft of the lifting cylinder 503 is fixedly mounted with a gripping mounting plate 504; gripping cylinders 505 are fixedly mounted on the top left and right ends of the gripping mounting plate 504, and gripping clamping blocks 506 are fixed on the output shaft of the gripping cylinders 505; a blocking block 507 is provided at the lower end of the gripping clamping block 506 bent inward.

[0036] After the box body fixing device 4 fixes the box body, the lifting cylinder 503 is activated, the mounting plate 504 is lowered, then the gripping cylinder 505 retracts, the gripping clamping block 506 moves inward to approach, the blocking block 507 latches the lower edge of the box cover 902, then the lifting cylinder 503 is activated to rise, separating the box cover 902 from the box body 901, then the linear module 501 moves to the right above the box cover placement slot 201, the gripping cylinder 505 extends, releases the box cover, and the box cover falls into the box cover placement slot 201;

[0037] In some implementations of this solution, it is considered that when the lid is unloaded into the lid placement slot 201, the edge of the lid may get caught on the blocking block 507; the front and rear ends of the gripping mounting plate 504 are also fixedly mounted with vacuum suction cups 508 by suction cup brackets 509.

[0038] When the lid gripping device 5 grips the lid, the vacuum suction cup 508 adheres to the surface of the lid, which assists in gripping the lid. At the same time, when the lid is unloaded into the lid placement slot 201, the gripping cylinder 505 first extends, so that the gripping clamping block 506 moves away from the lid first, and then the vacuum suction cup 508 releases the lid, so that the lid can fall smoothly into the lid placement slot 201.

[0039] like Figure 6 As described above, the worker places the material box on the workbench 2. Since the worker places the material box by sight, he can only place it in an approximate position. At this time, the box alignment device 3 is activated. Two alignment cylinders 301 extend at the same time, and two alignment clamping blocks 303 approach the opposite corner of the material box, thereby pushing the material box to the predetermined position. Then the alignment cylinders 301 retract.

[0040] After the box alignment device 3 adjusts the position of the box, the fixing cylinder 401 moves the fixing clamping block 403 forward, and the rubber pad 404 at the bottom front end of the fixing clamping block 403 contacts the box. The box fixing device 4 fixes the box by relying on the friction between the rubber pad 404 and the box to prevent the box from moving.

[0041] After the box body fixing device 4 fixes the box body, the lifting cylinder 503 is activated, the mounting plate 504 is lowered, then the gripping cylinder 505 retracts, the gripping clamping block 506 moves inward to approach, the blocking block 507 latches the lower edge of the box cover 902, then the lifting cylinder 503 is activated to rise, separating the box cover 902 from the box body 901, then the linear module 501 moves to the right above the box cover placement slot 201, the gripping cylinder 505 extends, releases the box cover, and the box cover falls into the box cover placement slot 201.
