Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a composite suction cup and a composite suction cup holder, and more particularly to a composite suction cup and a composite suction cup holder that utilizes the principle of internal and external air pressure difference. Background Technology

[0002] Driven by the human pursuit of a convenient life, there is often a need to install and fix objects to walls, ceilings, roofs, railings, and windowsills in industrial, commercial, and residential environments. However, if drilling is used for fixing, screws are needed for further fixing, making the installation process complicated and difficult for users (i.e., installers) to do themselves.

[0003] Furthermore, when an object needs to be fixed to a wall or glass, using adhesive backing is neither convenient nor repeatable. If a suction cup, a known technology, is used, the adhesion between the suction cup and the surface depends on whether the user follows the standard operating procedure (SOP). If the user does not apply pressure after attaching the suction cup, it will not adhere well to the surface and may fall off.

[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need in the market for a suction cup and suction cup holder that can force users to properly install the suction cup and suction cup holder, avoid the risks caused by improper installation by users, and at the same time be easy to install and have good suction ability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a composite suction cup and a composite suction cup holder for adsorbing onto a surface. An air space is formed between the adsorption elastic part of the adsorption member and the surface to be adhered to. A pressure adjustment member can drive the adsorption elastic part to deform, thereby increasing the volume of the air space. Furthermore, each of the adsorption member and the adhesive member is connected between the surface to be adhered to and the pressure adjustment member. The holder member connects at least one of the adsorption member, the adhesive member, and the pressure adjustment member, which helps the composite suction cup to be more firmly fixed to the surface to be adhered to, and the composite suction cup holder can support heavier objects.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a composite suction cup is provided for adsorbing onto a surface. The composite suction cup includes an adsorption member, a clamping member, and a pressure adjusting member. The adsorption member is used to connect to and adsorb onto the surface, and includes an adsorption elastic portion, forming an air space between the adsorption elastic portion and the surface. The clamping member is connected to the adsorption member and includes a clamping elastic portion, which is farther away from the surface than the adsorption elastic portion. The clamping elastic portion and the adsorption elastic portion deform with each other. The pressure adjusting member is connected to the adsorption member and can cause the adsorption elastic portion to deform, thereby increasing the volume of the air space. Thus, the composite suction cup can be more securely fixed to the surface.

[0007] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a composite suction cup holder is provided for adsorbing onto a surface to support an object. The composite suction cup holder includes an adsorption member, an adhesive member, a pressure adjustment member, and a support member. The adsorption member is used to connect to and adsorb onto the surface, and includes an adsorption elastic portion, forming an air space between the adsorption elastic portion and the surface. The adhesive member is used to connect to and adhere to the surface. Each of the adsorption member and the adhesive member is connected between the surface and the pressure adjustment member. The pressure adjustment member can drive the adsorption elastic portion to deform, thereby increasing the volume of the air space. The support member connects at least one of the adsorption member, the adhesive member, and the pressure adjustment member, and supports the object. Therefore, the composite suction cup holder can more stably support heavier objects. Attached Figure Description

[0061] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. For clarity, many practical details will be set forth in the following description. However, it should be understood that these practical details are not intended to limit the invention. That is, these practical details are not essential in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0062] Figure 1A A perspective view of the composite suction cup 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1B Drawing according to Figure 1A Exploded view of the composite suction cup 100. Figure 1CAnother perspective view of the composite suction cup 100 of the first embodiment is shown. Figure 1D Drawing according to Figure 1C Exploded view of the composite suction cup 100. Figure 1E Drawing according to Figure 1A A cross-sectional view of the composite suction cup 100 along section line 1E-1E. Figure 1F A cross-sectional view illustrating the first embodiment of the composite suction cup 100 adsorbed onto the attachment surface 90 in its usage state is shown. Please refer to... Figures 1A to 1F The composite suction cup 100 is used to adhere to the attachment surface 90 of the object being attached. The composite suction cup 100 includes an adsorption element 120 and a pressure adjustment element 150. In the first embodiment, the attachment surface 90 is specifically a window made of glass, and the composite suction cup 100 itself, or after being connected to other elements, can serve as a suspension bracket, a placement bracket, a decoration, and is not limited thereto. According to other embodiments of the present invention (not shown in the figures), the material of the attachment surface can be glass, ceramic tile, or plastic, and the attachment surface can be a window, a wall, a ceiling, or a flat surface of any material at any angle relative to the ground.

[0063] The adsorption member 120 is used to connect to and adsorb onto the surface 90. The adsorption member 120 includes an adsorption elastic part 134, and an air space a1 is formed between the adsorption elastic part 134 and the surface 90. The pressure adjustment member 150 is connected to the adsorption member 120. The pressure adjustment member 150 can drive the adsorption elastic part 134 to deform, thereby increasing the volume of the air space a1. Therefore, according to the Ideal Gas Equation of State, when the amount of air in air space a1 is fixed, the pressure and volume of air space a1 are inversely proportional. Thus, when the pressure adjusting member 150 causes the adsorption elastic part 134 to deform, increasing the volume of air space a1, the pressure in air space a1 decreases and becomes less than the pressure of the ambient air outside the composite suction cup 100 (i.e., atmospheric pressure). This means the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the composite suction cup 100 increases, and the force exerted by the ambient air on the composite suction cup 100 towards the adhered surface 90 is greater. Therefore, the composite suction cup 100 can be more firmly fixed to the adhered surface 90, requiring greater force to detach it from the adhered surface 90. Furthermore, the space inside the composite suction cup and air space a1 in this invention refers to the air-occupying space from the composite suction cup towards the adhered surface, while the space outside the composite suction cup and the environment refers to the air-occupying space away from the adhered surface.

[0064] In detail, the composite suction cup 100 may further include a clamping member 140, which is connected to the suction member 120. The clamping member 140 includes a clamping elastic portion 144, which is farther away from the attachment surface 90 than the adsorption elastic portion 134. The clamping elastic portion 144 and the adsorption elastic portion 134 deform with each other. Therefore, during the installation of the composite suction cup 100, the clamping member 140 applies additional force to the adsorption elastic portion 134 through the restoring force generated by its own deformation, which helps to improve the tightness of the adhesion between the adsorption elastic portion 134 and the attachment surface 90.

[0065] The composite suction cup 100 may further include an adhesive member 110 for connecting and adhering to the surface 90. Both the suction member 120 and the adhesive member 110 are connected between the surface 90 and the pressure adjustment member 150. When the internal thread 153 of the pressure adjustment member 150 causes the suction elastic portion 134 of the suction member 120 to deform, increasing the volume of the air space a1, the pressure applied by the pressure adjustment member 150 to the adhesive member 110 can increase. By increasing the internal and external pressure difference, the thrust exerted by the ambient air on the composite suction cup 100 toward the attached surface 90 is increased. Furthermore, by increasing the pressure (or thrust) exerted by the pressure adjustment member 150 on the adhesive member 110, the thrust exerted on the composite suction cup 100 toward the attached surface 90 is further increased. This increases the positive force exerted by the attached surface 90 on the composite suction cup 100, i.e., increases the friction between the composite suction cup 100 and the attached surface 90, thereby helping to prevent the composite suction cup 100 from detaching from the attached surface 90 and thus fixing it more firmly to the attached surface 90.

[0066] Figure 1G A schematic diagram illustrating the first installation step of the composite suction cup 100 according to the first embodiment is shown. Figure 1H A schematic diagram illustrating the second installation step of the composite suction cup 100 according to the first embodiment is shown. Figure 1I A schematic diagram illustrating the third installation step of the composite suction cup 100 according to the first embodiment is shown. Figure 1J A schematic diagram illustrating the fourth installation step of the composite suction cup 100 according to the first embodiment is shown. Figures 1G to 1J The following diagram illustrates the steps of an installation process for the composite suction cup 100. Figure 1F This diagram illustrates the usage state of the composite suction cup 100 after installation. For example, please refer to... Figure 1G The first installation step of the composite suction cup 100 is to attach the adsorption member 120 and the clamping member 140 connected to each other to the attachment surface 90, with the clamping elastic part 144 being farther away from the attachment surface 90 than the adsorption elastic part 134.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 1HThe adsorption member 120 may further include an external threaded portion 123, and the adsorption elastic portion 134 of the adsorption member 120 may be connected around the external threaded portion 123. The clamping member 140 may further include an opening 141, and the clamping member 140 is sleeved on the external threaded portion 123 through the opening 141. Specifically, the adsorption elastic portion 134 is disc-shaped and its surface facing the attached surface 90 is concave. The clamping elastic portion 144 is disc-shaped with an opening 141 in the center. The diameter of the clamping elastic portion 144 is larger than the diameter of the adsorption elastic portion 134. That is, the outer edge of the projection of the clamping elastic portion 144 on the attached surface 90 surrounds the outer edge of the projection of the adsorption elastic portion 134 on the attached surface 90. It can also be said that the projection of the clamping elastic portion 144 on the attached surface 90 covers the projection surface of the adsorption elastic portion 134 on the attached surface 90. The second installation step of the composite suction cup 100 involves applying an external force f1 (e.g., applied by the user's hand) towards the attachment surface 90 through the clamping elastic part 144 to the adsorption elastic part 134. The clamping elastic part 144 deforms the adsorption elastic part 134, further reducing the volume of the air space a1. In this way, the clamping elastic part 144, through its own deformation-generated restoring force, applies additional force to the adsorption elastic part 134, helping to improve the tightness between the adsorption elastic part 134 and the attachment surface 90, reducing ambient air leakage into the air space a1 within the composite suction cup 100, maintaining the airtightness of the air space a1 within the composite suction cup 100, and extending the service life of the composite suction cup 100.

[0068] Specifically, such as Figures 1A to 1D as well as Figure 1H As shown, the adsorption elastic portion 134 may include a backbone unit 136 and a filler unit 135. The backbone unit 136 surrounds the external thread portion 123 and includes radial backbones 137. The radial backbones 137 extend to form a plurality of abutment blocks 138. The filler unit 135 covers the radial backbones 137 and exposes the abutment blocks 138 in the filler unit 135. The abutment blocks 138 abut against the clamping elastic portion 144 of the clamping member 140. The elasticity of the clamping elastic portion 144 is less than the elasticity of the adsorption elastic portion 134. This facilitates the user in the second installation step (such as...). Figure 1H As shown, an external force f1 can be easily applied to the clamping elastic part 144 to increase the tightness between the adsorption elastic part 134 and the adhered surface 90. Furthermore, the backbone unit 136 of the clamping member 140 and the adsorption member 120 can be made of plastic material (e.g., polycarbonate, PC), the backbone unit 136 and the external thread part 123 can be integrally molded from the same material, the filler unit 135 can be made of rubber material, and the backbone unit 136 and the filler unit 135 can be made by a two-material injection molding method.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 1IThe third installation step of the composite suction cup 100 is to align the adhesive 110 along the suction member 120 and the clamping member 140 and adhere it to the surface to be attached 90.

[0070] Specifically, such as Figures 1A to 1D as well as Figure 1I As shown, the adhesive element 110 may include an adhesive unit 113 and a connecting unit 114. The adhesive unit 113 is adhesive and is used to connect and adhere to the surface 90 to the connecting unit 114. Thus, the adhesive properties of the adhesive unit 113 and the supporting properties of the connecting unit 114 help improve the adsorption stability and design flexibility of the composite suction cup 100. In the first embodiment, the connecting unit 114 may be made of plastic material (e.g., ABS resin, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). There are two adhesive units 113, each of which is semi-circular, and the two adhesive units 113 are evenly distributed on the connecting unit 114. In the composite suction cup according to the present invention (not shown), multiple adhesive units may be arranged radially, in a matrix, or in any irregular arrangement on the connecting unit.

[0071] The adhesive unit 113 can be a bio-inspired tape. This bio-inspired tape is a microstructured silicone fastener film with tens of thousands of clamping elements per square centimeter. Based on van der Waals forces, it exhibits excellent adhesive strength and leaves no residue. Therefore, the adhesive unit 113 contributes to the composite suction cup 100's good adsorption capacity and reusability. Furthermore, the adhesive unit 113 can also be a reusable adhesive material such as washable adhesive or residue-free tape, or a non-reusable adhesive material.

[0072] The adsorption member 120 and the adhesive member 110 may not be connected. The adhesive member 110 is annular and surrounds the adsorption member 120. In this way, during the third installation step, when the adhesive member 110 surrounds the adsorption member 120 and the clamping member 140 to adhere to the surface 90, it is beneficial to prevent the adsorption member 120 and the clamping member 140 from being contacted and pushed by the adhesive member 110, so as to prevent the tightness between the adsorption member 120 and the surface 90 from being compromised.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 1J The fourth installation step of the composite suction cup 100 is to install and connect the pressure adjustment component 150 to the suction component 120 using the rotating tool 70, wherein multiple positioning structures (not shown in the figure) of the rotating tool 70 are respectively connected to multiple positioning structures 156 of the pressure adjustment component 150. Specifically, as follows Figures 1A to 1D as well as Figure 1JAs shown, the adsorption member 120 may further include an external thread portion 123, and the pressure adjustment member 150 may include an internal thread portion 153. The external thread portion 123 and the internal thread portion 153 are correspondingly connected. By rotating the pressure adjustment member 150 with the rotating tool 70, the internal thread portion 153 of the pressure adjustment member 150 drives the adsorption elastic portion 134 of the adsorption member 120 to deform, thereby increasing the volume of the air space a1. Thus, as the number of rotations gradually increases during the rotation process, the external thread portion 123 is pulled by the internal thread portion 153 and gradually moves away from the adhered surface 90. The adsorption elastic portion 134, along with the clamping elastic portion 144, deforms into a raised shape, and simultaneously the volume of the air space a1 increases (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 1J (as shown), and at this time Figure 1J The degree of bulging of the adsorption elastic part 134 is greater than Figure 1E The original bulge of the adsorption elastic part 134 is adjusted. Therefore, the composite suction cup 100 helps the user to gradually increase the volume of the air space a1, increase the pressure difference between the air space a1 and the environment, and thus fix it more firmly to the attached surface 90.

[0074] Each of the external thread portion 123 and the internal thread portion 153 extends along the central axis z1 of the composite suction cup 100. The central axis z1 is parallel to the normal direction n1 of the attached surface 90. The outer edge of the pressure adjustment member 150 projected onto the attached surface 90 surrounds the outer edge of the suction member 120 projected onto the attached surface 90. Thus, when the internal thread portion 153 of the pressure adjustment member 150 causes the suction elastic portion 134 of the suction member 120 to deform, the volume of the air space a1 increases. The pressure adjustment member 150 can be connected to the adhesive member 110. The pressure adjustment member 150 may include a protruding structure 155, which is close to the outer edge surface 152. The protruding structure 155 can be connected to the adapter unit 114 of the adhesive member 110. In the first embodiment, the protruding structure 155 is an annular mesh (but not limited to this structure). When the pressure adjustment member 150 approaches the adapter unit 114 by rotation, the protruding structure 155 can abut against the adapter unit 114, which can increase an additional force applied to the adhesive unit 113 in a 360-degree circumference and uniform manner. This increases the pressure applied by the pressure adjustment member 150 to the adhesive member 110. Thus, the pressure adjustment member 150 simultaneously achieves the dual effect of making the adsorption elastic part 134 bulge to increase the internal and external pressure difference, and applying additional force to the adhesive unit 113 to make it make better and more complete contact with the attached surface 90. This makes the composite suction cup 100 more firmly fixed to the attached surface 90. The pressure adjustment member 150 can be made of plastic material (such as ABS resin). Furthermore, by rotating the pressure adjustment component 150 using the rotating tool 70, the composite suction cup 100 is forced to adhere more tightly to the attachment surface 90, while pressure is applied to the adhesive component 110. This forces the user to properly install the composite suction cup 100 through specific steps (i.e., the fourth installation step), ensuring that the composite suction cup 100 has sufficient suction force after installation and avoiding the risk of detachment due to improper installation by the user. In addition, provided that the user's needs are met, the user can also adjust the order of the aforementioned installation steps or omit at least one installation step.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 1F After completing the fourth installation step, remove the rotating tool 70 from the composite suction cup 100, thus completing the installation of the composite suction cup 100. Figure 1FAs shown. Therefore, during the installation of the composite suction cup 100, the clamping member 140 and the pressure adjusting member 150 are used to sequentially increase the internal and external pressure difference of the composite suction cup 100. The pressure adjusting member 150 is also used to simultaneously increase the thrust applied to the adhesive member 110, further increasing the friction between the composite suction cup 100 and the adhered surface 90, thus helping the composite suction cup 100 to be more firmly fixed to the adhered surface 90. According to other embodiments of the present invention (not shown), the clamping member and the pressure adjusting member of the composite suction cup can be integrated into a single unit. When installing the composite suction cup, a portion of this single unit can drive and intensify the deformation of the adsorption elastic part, increasing the tightness between the adsorption elastic part and the adhered surface. Subsequently, another portion of this single unit can also drive the adsorption elastic part to deform, thereby increasing the volume of the air space.

[0076] Figure 2A A perspective view of the composite suction cup holder 10 according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2B Drawing according to Figure 2A Exploded view of the composite suction cup holder 10. Figure 2C This is a perspective view of the composite suction cup holder 10 according to the second embodiment. Figure 2D Drawing according to Figure 2C Exploded view of the composite suction cup holder 10. Figure 2E A cross-sectional view of the composite suction cup holder 10 according to the second embodiment is shown. Please refer to... Figure 1B , Figure 1D as well as Figures 2A to 2E The composite suction cup holder 10 is used to adhere to the surface 90 to support an object (not shown). The composite suction cup holder 10 includes an adsorption element 120, an adhesive element 110, a pressure adjustment element 150, and a support element 11. The support element 11 is connected to at least one of the adsorption element 120, the adhesive element 110, and the pressure adjustment element 150 (in the second embodiment, the support element 11 is connected to the adhesive element 110, but not to the adsorption element 120 or the pressure adjustment element 150), and is used to support the object. Therefore, the composite suction cup holder 10 can more stably support heavier objects.

[0077] Furthermore, with the rise of wireless communication systems such as 5G, in addition to using traditional sub-6GHz frequency bands, millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency bands are also used, such as 24-28GHz, 37-49GHz, and 64-71GHz. Millimeter waves, due to their high frequency and wide bandwidth, possess high transmission capabilities and low latency. However, due to their shorter wavelength and weaker penetration, millimeter waves are easily limited by terrain, allowing only shorter transmission distances. The composite suction cup bracket 10 according to the present invention helps to fix 5G devices (such as base stations, signal boosters, and terminal devices) to any glass window, significantly improving the ability of 5G devices to receive millimeter waves.

[0078] Furthermore, the composite suction cup bracket 10 of the second embodiment may include the composite suction cup 100 and the bracket member 11 described in the first embodiment. Regarding an installation process of the composite suction cup bracket 10, for example, the first to fourth installation steps of the composite suction cup bracket 10 of the second embodiment may be the same as the first to fourth installation steps of the composite suction cup 100 described in the first embodiment, and will not be detailed here.

[0079] In addition, such as Figures 1A to 1D as well as Figure 1I As shown, in the third installation step of the composite suction cup bracket 10, the adhesive 110 is aligned along the suction member 120 and the clamping member 140, and further aligned with the alignment mark 115 of the adhesive 110 to adhere to the attached surface 90, so as to facilitate the subsequent fifth installation step of fixing the bracket member 11 in the appropriate direction to support the object. Please refer to... Figure 1F as well as Figure 2E The fifth installation step in the installation process of the composite suction cup holder 10 is to install the holder 11 onto the adhesive 110, that is, to connect and fix the holder 11 to the adapter unit 114 of the adhesive 110, and further install and fix the object onto the holder 11. Here, the adhesive properties of the adhesive unit 113 and the supporting properties of the adapter unit 114 help to improve the adsorption stability and design flexibility of the composite suction cup holder 10. In addition, a decorative piece 15 can be installed on the outer side of the outer edge surface 152 of the pressure adjustment member 150 to protect or decorate the composite suction cup holder 10.

[0080] Specifically, such as Figures 2A to 2D As shown, the external thread portion 123 and the internal thread portion 153 each extend along the central axis z1 of the composite suction cup bracket 10. The central axis z1 is parallel to the normal direction n1 of the attached surface 90. The outer edge of the bracket member 11 projected onto the attached surface 90 can surround the outer edge of the suction member 120 and the pressure adjustment member 150 projected onto the attached surface 90. This allows the positioning structure 12 of the bracket member 11 (such as...) to... Figure 2D (as shown) and the positioning structure 116 of the adapter unit 114 (as shown) Figure 2BAs shown, the positioning structures 12 and 116 can be threaded or other structures, such as snap-fit ​​structures (not shown), to install and fix the bracket 11 to the adapter unit 114 of the adhesive member 110. With the composite suction cup 100 having greater suction force on the attached surface 90, the composite suction cup bracket 10 can support heavier objects, and the composite suction cup bracket 10, along with the object, is more securely fixed to the attached surface 90. Furthermore, the composite suction cup bracket 10 according to the present invention allows users to install it on windows or glass in desired locations. The suction force is first increased by the suction member 120 in conjunction with the clamping member 140, and then again by the suction member 120 in conjunction with the pressure adjusting member 150, for a total of two increases in suction force. Combined with the adhesive unit 113, the composite suction cup bracket 10, along with the object, is securely, easily, and conveniently installed on the attached surface 90, and has repeatable installation characteristics.

The pressure adjusting member 150 includes an internal threaded portion 153, and the external threaded portion 323 is correspondingly connected to the internal threaded portion 153. By rotating the pressure adjusting member 150, the internal threaded portion 153 of the pressure adjusting member 150 causes the adsorption elastic portion 334 of the adsorption member 320 to deform, thereby increasing the volume of the air space a1.

[0084] The external thread portion 323 and the internal thread portion 153 are each provided to extend along the central axis z1 of the composite suction cup 300. The central axis z1 is parallel to the normal direction n1 of the attached surface 90. The outer edge of the projection of the pressure adjustment member 150 on the attached surface 90 surrounds the outer edge of the projection of the suction member 320 on the attached surface 90.
