Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of suction cup performance testing, in particular to an adsorption performance testing device for a vacuum suction cup. Background Art

[0002] The vacuum suction cup is a commonly used picking mechanism in automated production. The bottom of the vacuum suction cup has a silicone rubber skirt that acts as a seal. After the vacuum suction cup is pressed against the surface of the object being picked up, the space between the vacuum suction cup and the object being picked up is evacuated. Under the action of the pressure difference, the vacuum suction cup and the object being picked up can be tightly connected, so that the vacuum suction cup can be used to lift, transfer, and other operations on the object being picked up.

[0003] On the assembly line of vacuum suction cups, after the parts of the vacuum suction cups are assembled, the vacuum suction cups need to be tested for adsorption performance to avoid deflation and leakage, which may result in low adsorption capacity. The common test method now is to adsorb the vacuum suction cup on the test plate with a certain pressure difference, and apply a certain pulling force to the end of the vacuum suction cup away from the plate. If the vacuum suction cup does not separate from the plate within a unit time, it means that the vacuum suction cup product is a finished product; if separation occurs, it means that the vacuum suction cup product is a defective product.

[0004] In the above detection method, since the detection time of a single vacuum suction cup is relatively long, it is impossible to perform detection and packaging on the production line. The vacuum suction cups that need to be detected can only be placed on the test device platform in sequence. After the test time, the vacuum suction cups are collected in sequence, which results in a longer production and packaging cycle for the entire vacuum suction cup. Summary of the invention

A slidingly engaged piston block 11 and a sliding block are fixedly installed at one end of the slide rod 12 extending out of the extension tube 9, and a first spring 13 is fixedly arranged between the end of the piston block 11 close to the sliding block and the extension tube 9. A positioning component that restricts the sliding rod 12 is arranged at the end of the extension tube 9 away from the detection platform body 4. The suction cup product 5 is covered on the air hole 10 above the detection platform body 4, and then the sliding rod 12 is pulled to reduce the air pressure inside the extension tube 9 and the detection platform body 4. Under the push of atmospheric pressure, the suction cup product 5 can be fitted with the detection platform body 4.

[0039] The positioning component includes an extension cylinder 14 fixedly arranged at the end of the extension tube 9 away from the detection platform 4, the axis of the extension cylinder 14 is perpendicular to the axis of the extension tube 9, a sliding disk 15 is slidably embedded in the extension cylinder 14, and a brake rod 16 sliding through the extension cylinder 14 is fixedly installed inside the sliding disk 15, a positioning hole 20 is opened on the surface of the middle section of the slide bar 12, and the end of the brake rod 16 extending into the extension tube 9 is movably engaged with the positioning hole 20, a second spring 17 is arranged at the end of the sliding disk 15 away from the slide bar 12, and a block 18 is fixedly arranged at the end of the brake rod 16 away from the slide bar 12, during the sliding process of the slide bar 12 outside the extension tube 9, when the brake rod 16 can contact the positioning hole 20, under the action of the second spring 17, the brake rod 16 can be driven to quickly embed into the positioning hole 20, thereby limiting the slide bar 12, thereby maintaining the negative pressure state inside the extension tube 9 and the detection platform 4.

[0040] The pressure relief component includes two symmetrically distributed limiting rods 8 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the frame 1. The cross section of the limiting rod 8 is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. The limiting rod 8 and the extension tube 9 are parallelly distributed.

[0041] When the brake rod 16 is engaged with the positioning hole 20, the distances between the lifting block 19 and the limiting rod body 8 and the horizontal plane of the frame 1 are consistent, that is, it is ensured that when the brake rod 16 is engaged with the positioning hole 20, along with the transmission of the plate chain 3, the inclined arc surface of the lifting block 19 in the shape of an inverted cone can effectively contact the limiting rod body 8 whose interface is an isosceles trapezoidal shape.

The counterweight ball 22 applies a vertical downward pulling force to the suction cup product 5 through the test cylinder 21.

[0043] A threaded cover is provided at one end of the test column 21 away from the test platform 4. The cover design allows the test column 21 to be opened and closed, and multiple weight balls 22 can be added to the inside of the test column 21, or weight balls 22 of different masses can be replaced.

[0044] The unloading unit includes two unloading slide rails 6 which are distributed in parallel and are located below the frame 1. The two unloading slide rails 6 are fixedly mounted between the supporting foot rods 2. A unloading port 33 is provided on the side end of each unloading slide rail 6 away from the frame 1. A transmission track 7 is also provided at the bottom of the frame 1, and the transmission track 7 is located entirely below the two unloading slide rails 6. The length of the unloading port 33 is greater than the total length of the suction cup product 5 and the test column 21. That is, in order to ensure that the suction cup product 5 and the test column 21 can effectively pass through the unloading port 33 and fall onto the transmission track 7, the transmission track 7 is a common belt conveyor.

[0045] The unloading slide rail 6 is bent, and the bending angle is an obtuse angle. The unloading slide rail 6 is divided into two sections, the upper section has a small inclination angle and is almost vertical, and mainly plays a supporting role for the vertically released test column 21, and the collision force between the upper section and the test column 21 during the supporting process is also smaller; the lower section has a large inclination angle and is obtuse with the upper end, and mainly plays a guiding role for the test column 21, so that the test column 21 can slide through the unloading port 33 to the transmission track 7.

[0046] How this solution works:

[0047] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the plate chain 3 is intermittently driven counterclockwise inside the frame 1, and two staff members are arranged on both sides of the frame 1. In the idle gap of the transmission, the staff members cover the suction cup product 5 to be tested on the test platform 4. It should be noted that before the suction cup product 5 is placed on the upper end of the test platform 4, the test cylinder 21 needs to be threadedly assembled at the docking interface of the suction cup product 5, wherein there is a silicone gasket between the docking interface of the test cylinder 21 and the suction cup product 5, and the test cylinder 21 is sealed, that is, when the test cylinder 21 and the suction cup product 5 are threadedly connected, the two are in a sealed state;

[0048] After placing the suction cup product 5 equipped with the test cylinder 21 on the upper part of the test platform 4, the slide bar 12 inside the extension tube 9 of the side wall of the test platform 4 is pulled. During the pulling process, the air between the extension tube 9 and the test platform 4 can be sucked by the piston block 11, so that the two are in a negative pressure state. Under the action of the pressure difference, the suction cup product 5 and the test platform 4 can be docked with a certain pressure. During the outward sliding process of the slide bar 12, the brake rod 16 can be embedded in the positioning hole 20, so as to limit the slide bar 12 and prevent the slide bar 12 from resetting and moving at will, so as to keep the negative pressure between the suction cup product 5 and the test platform 4 unchanged;

[0049] With the continuous intermittent transmission of the plate chain 3, the suction cup products 5 can be assembled one by one on several test platforms 4. The suction cup products 5 move with the test platform 4. The suction cup products 5 and the test cylinder 21 gradually change from vertically upward to vertically downward. During the transformation process, the counterweight ball 22 inside the test cylinder 21 will roll inside the test cylinder 21, and finally a vertical downward pulling force is applied to the suction cup product 5 through the test cylinder 21. The suction cup product 5 continues to follow the plate chain 3 for transmission under the applied pressure. By controlling the length of the plate chain 3 and the transmission speed of the plate chain 3, the time for the suction cup product 5 under the negative pressure adsorption state and the downward pulling force to move to the limit rod 8 can be controlled. If the suction cup product 5 does not fall off from the test platform 4 within the specified time, it means that the suction cup product 5 is not a standard part. If it falls off, it means that the suction cup product 5 is a defective product.

[0050] When the detection platform 4 with the suction cup product 5 gradually approaches, contacts, and passes the limiting rod body 8, the limiting rod body 8 can cause the brake rod 16 to disengage from the positioning hole 20 by pushing the lifting block 19. At this time, the slide rod 12 is no longer restricted, and under the action of the first spring 13 in the compressed state, the slide rod 12 and the piston block 11 can be quickly reset, and the air pressure between the extension tube 9 and the detection platform 4 can be gradually restored to atmospheric pressure. At this time, the suction cup product 5 will be separated from the detection platform 4 under the pull of the counterweight ball 22 inside the test cylinder 21, and fall into the unloading slide rail 6, and finally fall to the transmission track 7 through the unloading port 33 under the guidance of the unloading slide rail 6 for transfer.

[0051] The conveying line body in this scheme is placed at the very end of the suction cup product 5 assembly line. After the suction cup product 5 is assembled, it can directly enter the line body in this scheme, so that the adsorption performance of the suction cup product 5 can be tested on the assembly line body in a faster manner, and then directly packaged.

[0052] It is worth noting that a net bag can be installed at the bottom of the frame 1 on the side where the unloading slide rail 6 is not provided. The net bag is mainly used to receive defective products that do not meet the adsorption performance and fall off prematurely.

[0053] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 8-Figure 10 This embodiment is a further explanation of the embodiment 1. Each material unloading slide rail 6 is equipped with an auxiliary material unloading assembly. The auxiliary material unloading assembly includes a curved plate 23 fixedly arranged at the bottom of each material unloading slide rail 6. A cavity 24 is opened inside the curved plate 23. The cavity 24 is transparent from top to bottom. A transmission shaft 28 is rotatably arranged at the upper and lower ends of the cavity 24. A gear 27 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the transmission shaft 28. A synchronous toothed belt 26 is arranged between the two gears 27 for transmission. A pair of fixed gears are arranged inside the cavity 24. The synchronous toothed belt 26 has a bearing plate 25 that acts as a load-bearing and limiting device. The bearing plate 25 slides in contact with the inner wall of the synchronous toothed belt 26. Both side walls of the synchronous toothed belt 26 are provided with limiting grooves 31, and both pairs of side walls of the cavity 24 are fixedly provided with retaining rods 32 that slide in contact with the limiting grooves 31. A transmission shaft 28 is shared by the two gears 27 on the same side, and a drive motor 30 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of one of the unloading slide rails 6, and the output end of the drive motor 30 is fixedly connected to one of the transmission shafts 28.

[0054] The outer surface of the synchronous toothed belt 26 is provided with a plurality of friction grooves 29 . The design of the friction grooves 29 can increase the friction force between the synchronous toothed belt 26 and the test cylinder 21 and the suction cup product 5 .

[0055] In this embodiment: as the suction cup product 5 follows the test cylinder 21 to slide down, the sealing lip of the suction cup product 5 will contact the unloading slide rail 6. The sealing lip is made of silicone rubber and has a large friction with the unloading slide rail 6. The suction cup product 5 may get hung in the unloading slide rail 6 during the sliding process. For this reason, in this solution, the gear 27 and the synchronous toothed belt 26 are driven by a driving motor 30. Under the support of the bearing plate 25, the limit groove 31 and the retaining rod 32, the synchronous toothed belt 26 can be transmitted with a curvature similar to the unloading slide rail 6. During the transmission process, the suction cup product 5 is in contact with the outer surface of the synchronous toothed belt 26, so that the suction cup product 5 and the test cylinder 21 can be brought down, thereby avoiding the situation where the suction cup product 5 and the test cylinder 21 are not unloaded smoothly due to the excessive friction between the sealing lip of the suction cup product 5 and the unloading slide rail 6.
