Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and for 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] Embodiments of this application provide a cardboard box strapping removal device for cutting off the strapping on cardboard boxes. Compared to manually cutting the strapping, this device has higher work efficiency and can reduce labor intensity. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the carton strapping removal device includes a robotic arm, a frame 100, and a cutting component 200.

[0036] The frame 100 is connected to the robotic arm via a transmission. The movement of the robotic arm can drive the frame 100 to move, so that the robotic arm can drive the frame 100 to approach the binding strap of the carton, so that the inclined end face 110 abuts against the binding strap.

[0037] The frame 100 has an inclined end face 110, which facilitates the movement of the frame 100 between the strapping and the carton, so that the cutter 200 can cut the strapping.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, a receiving groove 120 is provided at the inclined end face 110.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the shearing component 200 includes a shearer 210, a first driving component 220, and a pressing block 230.

[0040] The cutter 210 is used to cut the binding straps on the carton; the cutter 210 is disposed on the frame 100 and located in the receiving slot 120 of the frame 100.

[0041] The first driving member 220 is disposed on the frame 100, and the pressure block 230 is disposed on the first driving member 220. The first driving member 220 is used to drive the pressure block 230 to move closer to the inclined end face 110 so that the pressure block 230 presses and fixes the binding strap on the inclined end face 110.

[0042] For example, the first driving member 220 is a telescopic member, which includes, but is not limited to, a hydraulic telescopic mechanism, a pneumatic telescopic mechanism, an electric actuator telescopic mechanism, a threaded screw telescopic mechanism, or a linear motor.

[0043] During operation, initially, the cardboard box is fixed on the workbench. The robotic arm can move and bring the frame 100 closer to the cardboard box via a pre-set program or other means. During the movement of the frame 100, the inclined end face 110 scoops up the binding straps on the cardboard box to the cutting device 200. The first drive unit 220 drives and moves the pressure block 230 closer to the inclined end face 110. The pressure block 230 presses and fixes the binding straps to the inclined end face 110 of the frame 100. Then, the cutter 210 is activated to cut off the binding straps. The robotic arm moves and moves the frame 100, moving the frame 100 and the cutting device 200 away from the cardboard box and closer to the location where waste binding straps are stacked. The first drive unit 220 retracts, causing the pressure block 230 to release the cut binding straps, placing them into the waste binding strap pile.

[0044] In this application, the robotic arm is designed to move the frame 100 closer to the strapping of the carton. Compared to manual operation, this significantly reduces the time spent searching for and approaching the strapping, thus improving the overall operation speed.

[0045] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the frame 100 includes a first horizontal plate 140, a second horizontal plate 150, a first vertical plate 160, and a second vertical plate 170. One end of the first horizontal plate 140 is perpendicularly connected to one end of the first vertical plate 160, and the other end of the first horizontal plate 140 is perpendicularly connected to one end of the second vertical plate 170. One end of the second horizontal plate 150 is perpendicularly connected to the other end of the first vertical plate 160, and the other end of the second horizontal plate 150 is perpendicularly connected to the other end of the second vertical plate 170. The connection method is, for example, welding, snap-fitting, or bolting. An inclined end face 110 is provided on the second horizontal plate 150. A first driving member 220 is disposed on the second vertical plate 170.

[0046] In order to more firmly fix the binding strap and make it easier for the cutter 210 to cut the binding strap more accurately and efficiently, in one embodiment, the side of the pressure block 230 near the inclined end face 110 is an inclined pressing surface adapted to the inclined end face 110, thereby increasing the contact area between the pressure block 230 and the binding strap and improving the friction.

[0047] To move the cardboard boxes onto the workbench, such as Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the carton strapping removal device further includes an adsorption element 310, which is used to adsorb the carton. The adsorption element 310 is connected to the frame 100 via a transmission. The robotic arm drives the frame 100 and the adsorption element 310 closer to the carton. After the adsorption element 310 contacts the carton, it adsorbs the carton. Then, the robotic arm moves and drives the frame 100 and the adsorption element 310 closer to the worktable. The adsorption element 310 releases the carton to place it on the worktable. The worktable fixes the carton. The worktable can automatically fix the carton or fix it manually using clamps before cutting the strapping.

[0048] For example, the adsorption element 310 is a suction cup. In another embodiment, the adsorption element 310 is a negative pressure hole.

[0049] To more accurately attach the adsorption component 310 to the cardboard box, such as... Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a second driving member 300 for driving the adsorption member 310 to move is provided on the frame 100, and the adsorption member 310 is disposed on the second driving member 300.

[0050] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The image shows the direction in which the second driving element 300 drives the adsorption element 310 to move.

[0051] For example, the second driving component 300 is a telescopic component, which includes, but is not limited to, a hydraulic telescopic mechanism, a pneumatic telescopic mechanism, an electric actuator telescopic mechanism, a threaded screw telescopic mechanism, or a linear motor.

[0052] For example, two sets of second driving members 300 and adsorption members 310 are provided. One set of second driving members 300 and adsorption members 310 is fixedly disposed on one side of the first vertical plate 160, and the other set of second driving members 300 and adsorption members 310 is fixedly disposed on the other side of the first vertical plate 160. The fixing methods include, but are not limited to, welding, bolt connection or snap-fit.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a locator 400 is provided on the frame 100. The locator 400 is electrically connected to a robotic arm. The locator 400 is used to obtain the relative position of the carton. Based on the position information of the carton obtained by the locator 400, the robotic arm drives the frame 100 to move closer to the carton.

[0054] For example, the locator 400 is a distance sensor, which includes, but is not limited to, optical displacement sensors, infrared distance sensors, radar distance sensors, or laser distance sensors.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a mounting base 500 is provided on the frame 100, and a robotic arm is connected to the mounting base 500. The robotic arm drives the frame 100 to move through the mounting base 500.

[0056] For example, the frame 100 and the mounting base 500 are fixedly connected by welding, bolting or riveting.

[0057] For example, the mounting base 500 is fixed to the robotic arm by means of welding, bolting or riveting.

[0058] For example, the mounting base 500 is a flange-shaped structure.

[0059] For example, the mounting base 500 is fixedly mounted on the second vertical plate 170 by means of welding, bolting or snap-fitting.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a first limiting block 600 is also provided on the frame 100. The first limiting block 600 is located on the frame 100 near the inclined end face 110. The first limiting block 600 is used to limit the binding strap on the inclined end face 110 to prevent the binding strap from being higher than the cutter 210, thereby ensuring that the cutter 210 can cut the binding strap.

[0061] For example, the first limiting block 600 is fixedly mounted on the first vertical plate 160 by means of welding, bolting or snap-fitting.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a photoelectric switch 610 is provided on the frame 100. When the photoelectric switch 610 detects an object on the inclined end face 110, the cutter 210 is activated. The photoelectric switch 610 is used to check whether there is a binding strap on the inclined end face 110. If there is a binding strap, the cutter 210 is activated to cut the binding strap.

[0063] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second vertical plate 170 of the frame 100 is provided with a cable 130 for supplying power to the photoelectric switch 610 and transmitting electrical signals.

[0064] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0065] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
