[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Figures 1 to 5 The automatic opening and closing mechanism for a plastic box, as shown, is characterized by comprising: a mounting base 1, on which slide rails 2 are symmetrically arranged; a movable frame 3 is movably inserted between each of the slide rails 2; a transverse support 4 is horizontally fixed above the movable frame 3; the left side of the transverse support 4 is bent and raised; an adsorption part 5 is provided in the middle of the transverse support 4; fixing plates 6 are fixed on both the left and right sides of the transverse support 4; a positioning part 7 is provided on each of the fixing plates 6; an opening and closing part 8 is provided on each of the positioning parts 7; and a moving mechanism 9 is provided on the mounting base 1 to drive the movable frame 3 to move along the slide rails 2.

[0022] The above-described automatic opening and closing mechanism for plastic boxes involves an external conveying device transporting the plastic box to below the horizontal support 4. A moving mechanism 9 then moves a moving frame 3 along the slide rail 2, causing the moving frame 3 to move the horizontal support 4 onto the plastic box. The positioning part 7 then positions the plastic box below the adsorption part 5, which in turn adsorbs the lid of the plastic box. Simultaneously, the opening and closing part 8 opens the lid. After opening, the conveying device moves the plastic box to the air curtain position for storage. The adsorption part 5 then repositions the lid onto the plastic box, and the opening and closing part 8 closes the lid again. Compared to existing technologies, this mechanism automatically opens and closes the lid, improving turnover efficiency.

[0023] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the adsorption part 5 includes a fixed base 51 fixed in the middle of the movable frame 3, a double-rod cylinder 52 is longitudinally fixed on the fixed base 51, a support plate 53 is fixed at the output end of the double-rod cylinder 52, and a plurality of suction cups 54 are installed on the support plate 53. The double-rod cylinder 52 fixed in the middle of the fixed base 51 drives the support plate 53 to move towards the glue box cover, and then the glue box cover is adsorbed by the suction cups 54. After the cover is opened by the opening and closing part 8, the double-rod cylinder 52 is reset and the cover is lifted upward by the suction cups 54.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the positioning part 7 includes push rod cylinders 72 fixed on each fixed plate 6, and a positioning plate 73 is fixed at the output end of each push rod cylinder 72. An external conveying device conveys the glue box to the positioning plate 73 so that the glue box is positioned below the horizontal support 4, and the push rod cylinder 72 can drive the positioning plate 73 to move, thereby allowing the positioning plate 73 to drive the opening and closing part 8 to move up and down.

[0025] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the cover opening and closing part 8 includes a mounting base 88 fixed on each of the positioning plates 73. A single-cylinder cylinder 81 is fixed above each of the mounting bases 88, and a rack 82 is fixed at the output end of each of the single-cylinder cylinders 81. Grooves 83 are symmetrically provided at the lower end of each of the positioning plates 73. A spur gear 84 and a flipping conical block 85 are respectively provided in each pair of grooves 83. Anti-slip texture 851 is provided on one side of each flipping conical block 85. A connecting shaft 86 is fixedly connected between each spur gear 84 and the adjacent flipping conical block 85, passing through the positioning plate 73. A guide plate 87 is provided on the rear side of each positioning plate 73, which can cover the rear side of the adjacent rack 82. When the cover needs to be opened, the single-cylinder cylinder 81 first drives the spur gear 84 to move, so that... The spur gear 84 drives the spur gear 85 to rotate, which in turn causes the spur gear 84 to drive the rotating conical block 85 to swing within the slot 83 via the connecting shaft 86. At this time, the rotating conical block 85 is rotated and positioned on both sides of the box. Then, the push rod cylinder 72 drives the positioning plate 73 to move downward. At this time, the positioning plate 73 drives the rotating conical block 85 to move downward, which causes the cover to detach from the glue box. When it is necessary to close the cover, the single-cylinder cylinder 81 drives the rotating conical block 85 to rotate first, and then the suction part 5 puts the cover back on the glue box. At the same time, the external conveying equipment gradually moves the two sides of the glue box to the rotating conical blocks 85 on both sides. At this time, the push rod cylinder 72 drives the positioning plate 73 to move, and the positioning plate 73 drives the rotating conical block 85 to press down on both sides of the cover, which causes the rotating conical block 85 to put the cover back on the glue.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the moving mechanism 9 includes a screw 91 movably sleeved above the mounting base 1, a threaded sleeve 92 that can threadedly engage with the screw 91 fixed below the moving frame 3, a first synchronous pulley 93 fixed at the end of the screw 91, a motor 94 fixed below the rear side of the mounting base 1, and a second synchronous pulley 95 fixed at the output end of the motor 94. The motor 94 drives the second synchronous pulley 95 to rotate, and at the same time, the second synchronous pulley 95 drives the first synchronous pulley 93 to rotate via a synchronous belt. While the first synchronous pulley 93 rotates, it drives the screw 91 to rotate. At this time, the screw 91 drives the moving frame 3 to move along the slide rail 2 via the threaded sleeve 92.

[0027] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of this utility model, as well as its advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
