Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this application relates to an automatic lid-pressing and lid-removing device for a washing basket. Figure 1-3 As shown, the automatic lid pressing and unpressing device for the washing basket includes: frame 10; frame 10 refers to the supporting foundation and skeleton of the entire device, providing an installation platform for all other mechanisms and ensuring the stability and rigidity of the equipment during operation.

[0023] The positioning mechanism 20 is mounted on the frame 10 and is used to position the basket 70 that is transported to the designated position. When the basket 70 arrives at the working position via the conveyor line, the mechanism uses methods including but not limited to: cylinder stop, guide bar, visual positioning, etc., to accurately fix the basket 70 in a preset, repeatable position, which can ensure that subsequent automated operations are carried out accurately.

[0024] The lifting drive mechanism 30 is mounted on the frame 10; it can provide vertical power to drive the mechanical hook assembly 40 below to rise or fall as a whole, thereby achieving a precise driving effect.

[0025] The mechanical hook assembly 40 is connected to the output end of the lifting drive mechanism 30 and is driven by the lifting drive mechanism 30 to perform lifting movements; the mechanical hook assembly 40 includes at least one pair of hooks 401 and hook drive member 402; the hook drive member 402 is used to drive the hooks 401 to extend or retract relative to the basket cover 80, so that the hooks 401 enter or exit the notch on the basket cover 80; Specifically, hook 401 refers to at least one pair (usually arranged symmetrically) shaped to be inserted under a specific notch or flange of the basket cover 80.

[0026] The hook drive unit 402 is typically a small cylinder or motor, used to drive the hook 401 to perform horizontal telescopic movements. The hook drive unit 402 is horizontally oppositely arranged on the upper surface of the movable plate 303, and its output end is connected to the hook 401. It can achieve the effect of hooking and releasing the basket cover 80, so that the hook 401 can accurately enter or exit the mating notch on the basket cover 80 through telescopic movements.

[0027] The elastic pressure plate mechanism 50 is connected to the mechanical hook assembly 40 and located above the hook body 401. It is used to elastically press the basket cover 80 downward when the hook body 401 hooks the basket cover 80. The pressure plate 501 is pulled down by a tension spring to press the basket cover 80 onto the hook 403, limiting the up and down movement of the basket cover 80.

[0028] As can be seen from the above description, this application achieves the following technical effects: In this embodiment, an automatic capping and uncapping method is adopted. The mechanical hook assembly 40 is connected to the output end of the lifting drive mechanism 30 and is driven by the lifting drive mechanism 30 to perform lifting movements. The mechanical hook assembly 40 includes at least one pair of hooks 401 and a hook drive member 402. The hook drive member 402 is used to drive the hooks 401 to extend or retract relative to the basket cover 80, so that the hooks 401 enter or exit the notch on the basket cover 80, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic capping and uncapping of the basket cover 80 and the basket 70. This achieves the technical effect of improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity, and solves the technical problem that traditional operations rely on manual capping and uncapping, resulting in low efficiency, high labor intensity, poor consistency, and difficulty in adapting to the needs of automated and continuous production.

[0029] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism 20 includes at least two clamping and positioning cylinders 201 symmetrically arranged on the sides of the basket 70, so that when the clamping and positioning cylinders 201 extend, they can press against the side of the basket 70. It can be understood that by symmetrically arranging four clamping and positioning cylinders 201 at the four corners of the basket 70's transport path, a high-precision positioning effect can be achieved, constraining the basket 70 in two directions (X and Y axes), which is more effective in correcting rotational deviations and center offsets of the basket 70 than two-point clamping; at the same time, it can also achieve a stable clamping effect, acting on the corners to provide uniform clamping force, preventing the basket 70 from tilting or moving during subsequent operations, and providing an extremely stable reference for the hook operator's operation.

[0030] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism 20 includes four clamping and positioning cylinders 201, which are respectively positioned at the four corners of the basket 70. This ensures a good clamping and positioning effect.

[0031] Furthermore, the lifting drive mechanism 30 includes: a fixed plate 302 connected to the top of the frame 10; a lifting and lowering cylinder 301 with its output end facing the basket 70 is provided on the fixed plate 302; a movable plate 303 is provided at the output end of the lifting and lowering cylinder 301; mechanical hook assemblies 40 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the movable plate 303; and several linear guide rails 304 are also provided between the movable plate 303 and the fixed plate 302. This ensures stable lifting and lowering effects, thereby driving the smooth operation of other components.

[0032] Furthermore, sliding components 60 are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the hook body 401. This allows for a good linear sliding effect. The sliding components 60 can be in the form of sliders or rails.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the elastic pressure plate mechanism 50 includes: pressure plates 501 respectively inserted into the hook body 401; a connecting plate 502 connected to the sliding assembly 60 is provided on the outer side of the pressure plate 501; the connecting plate 502 is disposed opposite to the hook body 401; and an elastic element 503 is provided between the connecting plate 502 and the hook body 401. It can be understood that a good elastic pressing effect can be achieved.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the elastic element 503 is a tension spring, with its upper end connected to the connecting plate 502 and its lower end connected to the hook body 401. This allows for a good elastic connection.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the basket cover 80 is also provided with a hook notch 801, which is engaged with a hook 403 located inside the hook body 401. A pressure plate 501 is provided above the hook 403. It can be understood that when the pressure plate 501 presses the cover tightly and the hook body 401 extends horizontally, the hook 403 slides precisely under the hook notch 801, completing the mechanical interlock.

[0036] Furthermore, the cylinder body of the lifting and lowering cylinder 301 is fixed to the fixed plate 302, and its push rod is connected to the movable plate 303. This allows for effective lifting and lowering while ensuring good transmission performance.

[0037] Furthermore, the frame 10 is also equipped with a conveyor transmission mechanism 90, which is used for directional conveying of the basket 70. It is understood that a motor-driven roller conveyor or belt conveyor is responsible for automatically feeding the basket 70 into the working position (positioning mechanism 20) and automatically sending the basket 70 out after the capping / uncapping process is completed. This achieves excellent device integration, forming a complete automated workstation, eliminating the need for manual handling of the basket 70.

[0038] The workflow for this application is as follows: I. Before cleaning: ① After the basket 70 reaches the designated position in the middle, the four cylinders at the four corners extend to position the basket 70. At this time, the cylinder of the mechanical hook is retracted. The hook 403 on the mechanical hook lifts the basket cover 80. The pressure plate 501 is pulled down by the tension spring to press the basket cover 80 onto the hook 403, limiting the up and down movement of the basket cover 80. ② The top cylinder extends to lower the mechanical hook; ③After reaching the position, the two cylinders on the mechanical hook extend and move the hook 403 on the mechanical hook out of the notch corresponding to the basket cover 80; ④ The top cylinder and the four corner cylinders retract, and then the cleaning basket enters the equipment to clean the workpiece.

[0039] II. After cleaning: ①After the basket 70 reaches the designated middle position, the four cylinders at the four corners extend to position the basket 70. ② The two cylinders of the mechanical hook extend to open the mechanical hook; ③ The lifting cylinder extends and lowers the mechanical hook. Before the mechanical hook reaches the designated position, the pressure plate 501 will first hit the basket cover 80 and then move down a little distance so that the hook 403 is within the notch of the basket cover 80. ④ The mechanical hook arm retracts its two cylinders, extending hook 403 into the notch 80 in the basket cover; ⑤ The top cylinder retracts, and hook 403 hooks the basket cover 80 and lifts it upwards; ⑥ After the basket cover 80 is in place, the basket 70, carrying the cleaned workpiece, is conveyed backward through the conveyor line.

[0040] This application also has the following beneficial effects: 1. The operation sequence of first pressing the elastic pressure plate and then hooking is crucial; it eliminates the gap between the cover and the basket, ensuring that the notch is accurately positioned when the hook is inserted, and preventing the hook from hitting the edge of the cover, which could lead to failure or damage.

[0041] Smooth separation: During disassembly, the continuous buffering pressure of the elastic plate can effectively prevent the cover from suddenly popping up due to jamming or vacuum adsorption, achieving smooth and controllable separation.

[0042] 2. High efficiency and automation, saving manpower, completely replacing the repetitive labor of manual handling, alignment, pressing down and prying open the lid, realizing automatic loading and unloading of the lid before and after cleaning; at the same time, it can be seamlessly connected with the conveyor line and cleaning machine to form a fully automatic production line, significantly improving cycle time and production capacity.

[0043] 3. It avoids repetitive bending and exertion by workers, eliminating safety hazards such as pinching and scratching that may be caused by manual operation.

[0044] 4. Reduces product and equipment damage. The combination of gentle operation, elastic clamping, and mechanical hooking causes less damage to baskets and lids than purely rigid gripping or lever prying, thus extending the service life of logistics equipment.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various equivalent transformations can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such equivalent transformations fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
