A front-opening unified pod quick-opening apparatus. The apparatus is positioned in a front-opening unified pod loading system. The apparatus has a rail, a slide, a short linking rod having a first end rotatably fixed on the slide to drive the slide to move along the rail, a long rocker arm having a first end rotatably fixed on a second end of the short linking rod, and a second end rotatably fixed on a pin on the backboard; and a power source. When the power source drives the long rocker arm to rotate upwards around the pin on the backboard, the long rocker arm leads the short linking rod, and the short linking rod drives the slide to move upwards along the rail which results in an upward rectilinear motion, and vice versa.
A front-opening unified pod quick-opening apparatus positioned in a front-opening unified pod loading system, when a front-opening unified pod being located on the loading system, a cover of the front-opening unified pod being secured on a gate of a backboard of the loading system such that the front-opening unified pod quick-opening apparatus moving the gate with the cover upward and downward, the front-opening unified pod quick-opening apparatus comprising:
