[0012] 1. The utility model provides a locking mechanism. When the suction nozzle needs to be quickly replaced, although the snap ball is set in the semicircular groove to fix the splicing mechanism, only a certain force, that is, an external force in the downward direction to overcome the friction between the snap ball and the limit block, can be used to disassemble the splicing mechanism. Therefore, when the device is used, different types of suction nozzles can be flexibly converted to improve machine utilization; and the splicing mechanism can be quickly disassembled and assembled, thereby reducing downtime; finally, the device is designed with a snap-on structure, which makes the device more convenient to operate.

[0013] 2. The utility model sets a splicing mechanism. During the installation of the locking mechanism and the splicing mechanism, the plug fixedly connected to the upper side of the nozzle mounting block will be inserted into the anti-rotation groove provided on the lower surface of the sliding sleeve, so that the nozzle will not rotate left and right during use. After the limit block slides into the slot, the positioning ball can be inserted into the semicircular groove. The positioning ball is inserted into the semicircular groove mouth, which can prevent the splicing mechanism from sliding up and down. When the nozzle is limited left and right and up and down, the splicing mechanism can be installed more stably. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] See also Figure 1-3 A quick-release structure for a suction nozzle includes a locking mechanism and a splicing mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a setting block 1, a spring 2 is fixedly connected inside the setting block 1, a sliding sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 2, a setting groove 4 is provided inside the setting block 1, and a positioning ball 5 is provided inside the setting groove 4. The splicing mechanism includes a limit block 6, a semicircular groove 7 is provided on the surface of the limit block 6, a suction nozzle structure is provided on the lower side of the limit block 6, and the positioning ball 5 is arranged inside the semicircular groove 7. The splicing mechanism includes a suction nozzle mounting block 8, a suction nozzle 9 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the suction nozzle mounting block 8, and the positioning ball 5 is arranged on the Inside the semicircular groove 7, the sliding sleeve 3 is slidably connected with the setting block 1. When the suction nozzle 9 needs to be quickly replaced, although the locking ball 5 is set in the semicircular groove 7 to fix the splicing mechanism, only a certain force, that is, an external force in the downward direction to overcome the friction between the locking ball 5 and the limit block 6, can be used to disassemble the splicing mechanism. Therefore, when the device is used, different types of suction nozzles can be flexibly converted to improve the utilization rate of the machine; and the splicing mechanism can be quickly disassembled and assembled, thereby reducing downtime; finally, the device is designed with a snap-on structure, which makes the device more convenient to operate.

[0021] In one aspect of the present embodiment, the spring 2 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 3 so that the elastic force of the spring 2 can act on the sleeve 3, and most of the spring 2 is hidden in the hidden groove 10 during use, so that the device does not expose too many parts when in use, making the device look more concise. During the installation of the locking mechanism and the splicing mechanism, the plug 12 fixedly connected to the upper side of the nozzle mounting block 8 will be inserted into the anti-rotation groove 11 provided on the lower surface of the sleeve 3, so that the nozzle 9 will not rotate left and right during use, and the installation is more stable.

[0022] In one aspect of the present embodiment, during the installation of the locking mechanism and the splicing mechanism, the limit block 6 will first slide into the slot 13, and the sealing ring 14 will be put on the surface of the limit block 6 to make the connection between the limit block 6 and the setting block 1 tighter to prevent vacuum leakage. After the limit block 6 slides into the slot 13, the locking ball 5 can be inserted into the semicircular groove 7. By inserting the locking ball 5 into the semicircular groove mouth 7, the splicing mechanism can be prevented from sliding up and down, making the installation of the splicing mechanism more stable.

[0023] The working principle of the utility model: when the quick-release structure of the suction nozzle is in use, during the installation of the locking mechanism and the splicing mechanism, the limiting block 6 will first slide into the slot 13, and the sealing ring 14 will be put on the surface of the limiting block 6, so that the connection between the limiting block 6 and the setting block 1 is tighter, which can prevent vacuum leakage. After the limiting block 6 slides into the slot 13, the positioning ball 5 can be inserted into the semicircular groove 7. When the positioning ball 5 is inserted into the semicircular groove mouth 7 and a "click" sound is heard, the suction nozzle installation block 8 is locked, which can prevent the splicing mechanism from moving up and down. The sliding of the splicing mechanism makes the installation of the splicing mechanism more stable. When the limit block 6 is inserted into the slot 13, it is necessary to align the plug 12 set on the upper side of the limit block 6 with the anti-rotation slot 11. In this way, after the limit block 6 is inserted into the slot 13, the plug 12 will also be inserted into the anti-rotation slot 11, which can effectively prevent the suction nozzle 9 from rotating left and right and sliding up and down, making the installation of the suction nozzle 9 more stable. When disassembling the suction nozzle 9, it is only necessary to apply an external force in the downward direction to overcome the friction between the locking ball 5 and the limit block 6 to disassemble the suction nozzle mounting block 8, thereby removing the suction nozzle 9.
