[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0029] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a split-type vacuum suction cup gripping device, including a support base 1, and an air pump 15 is mounted on the surface of the support base 1. One end of the air pump 15 is connected to an air supply pipe 8. A rubber sealing strip is provided at the opening edge of the vacuum suction cup 2. The split-type vacuum suction cup gripping device also includes:

[0031] A ventilation hose 5 is connected to the end of the air supply pipe 8 away from the air pump 15, and a connecting fitting 7 is connected to the end of the ventilation hose 5 away from the air supply pipe 8. A vacuum suction cup 2 is connected to the outside of the connecting fitting 7. A through hole 6 is opened on the surface of the supporting top plate 4, and the ventilation hose 5 passes through the inside of the through hole 6. The outside of the connecting fitting 7 is in close contact with the inner wall of the vacuum suction cup 2.

[0032] A connecting component is provided on the outside of the connecting tube 7 and the vacuum suction cup 2, for detachably connecting the vacuum suction cup 2 to the connecting tube 7;

[0033] A support column 14 is connected to the surface of the support base 1, and a first hinge 13 is installed at one end of the support column 14. A support top plate 4 is connected to the outside of the first hinge 13.

[0034] The first electric telescopic rod 3 is installed on the outside of the supporting top plate 4, and one end of the first electric telescopic rod 3 is connected to a connecting block 16. The connecting block 16 has an installation groove inside, and an electromagnet block 17 is installed inside the installation groove.

[0035] The iron moving block 18 is connected to the outside of the vacuum suction cup 2.

[0036] The connection component includes:

[0037] The first connecting plate 19 is connected to the outside of the connecting pipe 7, and the surface of the first connecting plate 19 is provided with a first threaded hole 21;

[0038] The second connecting plate 20 is connected to the outside of the vacuum suction cup 2, and the surface of the second connecting plate 20 is provided with a second threaded hole 22; and

[0039] The fastening screw 23 is connected inside the second threaded hole 22. The fastening screw 23 passes through the second threaded hole 22 and the first threaded hole 21 in sequence. The first connecting plate 19 and the second connecting plate 20 are firmly connected together by the fastening screw 23, the second threaded hole 22 and the first threaded hole 21.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, when using the vacuum suction cup 2 for grasping operations, the electromagnet block 17 is energized, and then the first electric telescopic rod 3 is opened first. The first electric telescopic rod 3 drives the connecting block 16, the iron moving block 18 and the vacuum suction cup 2 to move until the bottom opening of the vacuum suction cup 2 is in contact with the object to be grasped. Then the air pump 15 is turned on. The air pump 15 draws air from the inside of the vacuum suction cup 2 through the air supply pipe 8, the air hose 5 and the connecting pipe 7 until the vacuum suction cup 2 grasps the object.

[0041] When it is necessary to separate the vacuum suction cup 2 from the connecting pipe 7 for maintenance and cleaning, the operator can use a screwdriver to turn the fastening screw 23 connecting the first connecting plate 19 and the second connecting plate 20, so that the fastening screw 23 is turned out from the second threaded hole 22 and the first threaded hole 21, thereby separating the first connecting plate 19 and the second connecting plate 20. Then, the operator de-energizes the electromagnet block 17, so that the iron moving block 18 and the connecting block 16 are no longer in contact. At this time, the vacuum suction cup 2 is no longer limited, so the vacuum suction cup 2 can be removed from the connecting pipe 7. Through the above technical solution, the vacuum suction cup 2 can be easily detachably connected to the connecting pipe 7, so that the vacuum suction cup 2 and the ventilation system are in a separate state, which makes it easy for the operator to remove the vacuum suction cup 2 for cleaning and maintenance, thus improving the applicability of this vacuum suction cup gripping device.

[0042] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the split-type vacuum suction cup gripping device further includes:

[0043] A traction guide rail 9 is installed on the outer side of the supporting top plate 4, and a traction slider 10 is slidably connected inside the traction guide rail 9; and

[0044] Mounting base 12 is connected to the side of support column 14, and a second electric telescopic rod 11 is mounted on the outside of mounting base 12. One end of the second electric telescopic rod 11 and the outside of the traction slider 10 are mounted with a second hinge.

[0045] In this embodiment, to improve the gripping efficiency and gripping surface of the vacuum suction cup 2, the angle of the vacuum suction cup 2 can also be adjusted. Specifically, the second electric telescopic rod 11 is opened directly. The second electric telescopic rod 11 drives the traction slider 10 connected to its end by the second hinge to move inside the traction guide rail 9, thereby causing the traction guide rail 9 to drive the support top plate 4 to rotate at one end of the support column 14 through the first hinge 13 until the support top plate 4 and the vacuum suction cup 2 mounted on the support top plate 4 are adjusted to a suitable angle.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
