Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage packaging technology, and in particular to a non-powered box lid opening device. Background Technology
[0002] Conventional automated lid opening and closing equipment typically uses vacuum suction cup technology to drive the lid through a preset program to complete the opening and closing trajectory. This solution relies on a gas or electricity supply and limited installation space. Therefore, in space-constrained operating scenarios, manual assistance or semi-automatic adjustment devices are often required as alternatives. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above problems, this utility model discloses a non-powered box lid opening device.
[0004] The specific plan is as follows:
[0005] A non-powered box lid opening device is used to open the inner and outer box lids of a box on a ramp chain track. The ramp chain track is an arc-shaped track with its front end inclined downwards, and a gantry frame is set up at the front and back of the ramp chain track. An outer box lid pressure tongue, an inner box lid pressure rod, and guide rods are installed between the two gantry frames. There are two guide rods, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right. The outer box lid pressure tongue and the inner box lid pressure rod are placed between the two guide rods. The front end of the outer box lid pressure tongue is placed in the front gantry frame. It is an arrow-shaped object with its front end pressed down, and both ends extend backwards into the rear gantry frame, leaving gaps between them and the guide rods on both sides. The inner box lid pressure rod is an arc-shaped rod and is placed in the middle of the rear section of the outer box lid pressure tongue. Its surface is fixedly connected to the rear section of the outer box lid pressure tongue by multiple evenly arranged connecting rods.
[0006] Furthermore, the opening of the box body is rectangular, and the front and rear sides of the opening are respectively connected to foldable inner box pages, and the left and right sides are respectively connected to foldable outer box pages.
[0007] Furthermore, the rear end of the climbing chain track is connected to the horizontal chain track.
[0008] Furthermore, the top of the front gantry is equipped with an up-and-down adjusting screw for adjusting the front end of the outer box flap pressure tongue, and the sides are equipped with front-and-back adjusting screws for adjusting the guide rods.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by adopting a completely mechanical structure, the stability of the box lid opening outward is greatly improved; while saving manpower, it achieves zero noise and zero energy consumption, which not only reduces manufacturing costs, but also makes maintenance costs almost zero, and has broad market prospects.

[0013] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0014] As shown in the figure, this utility model provides a non-powered box cover opening device for opening the inner box cover 2 and outer box cover 3 of the box body 1 on the ramp chain track 10. The ramp chain track 10 is an arc-shaped chain track with the front end inclined downward, and the ramp chain track 10 is provided with a gantry frame 6 arranged at the front and back. Between the two gantry frames 6, an outer box cover pressure tongue 7, an inner box cover pressure rod 8 and a guide rod 9 are installed. There are two guide rods 9, which are arranged symmetrically on the left and right. The outer box cover pressure tongue 7 and the inner box cover pressure rod 8 are placed between the two guide rods 9. The front end of the outer box cover pressure tongue 7 is placed in the front gantry frame 6. It is an arrow-shaped object with the front end pressed down. Both ends extend backward into the rear gantry frame 6, and there are gaps between them and the guide rods 9 on both sides. The inner box cover pressure rod 8 is an arc-shaped rod and is placed in the middle of the rear section of the outer box cover pressure tongue 7. Its surface is fixedly connected to the rear section of the outer box cover pressure tongue 7 by multiple evenly arranged connecting rods.
[0015] In this embodiment, the opening of the box body 1 is rectangular, and the front and rear sides of the opening are respectively connected to the inner box pages 2 that can be folded, and the left and right sides are respectively connected to the outer box pages 3 that can be folded.
[0016] In this embodiment, the rear end of the climbing chainway 10 is connected to the horizontal chainway.
[0017] In this embodiment, the top of the front gantry 6 is provided with an up-down adjusting screw 5 for adjusting the front end of the outer box page pressure tongue 7, and the sides are provided with front-back adjusting screws 4 for adjusting the guide rod 9.
[0018] During production, the box body moves along the roller conveyor towards the inclined conveyor. At the transition point, an employee presses down the inner box flap into the box cover opening device. The outer box flaps on both sides slide along the gap between the outer box flap pressure tongue and the two guide rods under the action of the outer box flap pressure tongue. Under mechanical force, the outer box flaps complete a 45° outward flip. The inner box flaps are pushed outward by the outer box flap pressure tongue and the inner box flap pressure rod, completing the outward flip. After the box body passes through the unpowered box cover opening device, all four box flaps are flipped outward, achieving a completely open and unobstructed box opening to meet the requirements of the next process.
[0019] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
