[0023] Reference Figure 1-2 The present invention proposes a self-locking handheld suction cup, which has an initial state and an adsorption state. The suction cup comprises: a suction cup body 1 and a pull rod 2 slidably assembled on the suction cup body 1, wherein: the suction cup body 1 has an annular sealing surface 3 in contact with the object to be transported, a negative pressure cavity 4 formed on the inner side of the annular sealing surface 3, an air suction chamber located above the negative pressure cavity 4, and an air hole 5 connecting the negative pressure cavity 4 and the air suction chamber.

[0024] The inside of the suction chamber is provided with a flange 6 and a deformable diaphragm 7 arranged along the circumference of its inner wall; the flange 6 is provided with a plurality of guide holes evenly distributed in an annular shape, all of which are linear holes, and one end of all the guide holes is directed toward the center of the suction chamber; each guide hole is provided with a slider 8 that can slide inside the guide hole and a spring member 9 arranged on the side of the slider 8 away from the center of the suction chamber, and one end of each spring is connected to the flange 6, and the other end is connected to the corresponding slider 8.

[0025] The diaphragm 7 is arranged on the inner side of the flange 6, and the outer edge of the diaphragm 7 is connected to the flange 6 to divide the suction chamber into a first suction chamber 10 close to the negative pressure chamber 4 and a second suction chamber 11 away from the negative pressure chamber 4; the diaphragm 7 is provided with a plurality of bone rods 12 arranged radially, and the distal ends of the bone rods 12 are movably connected to the sliders 8 one by one, and the proximal ends of the bone rods 12 are movably connected to the first end of the pull rod 2, and the first end of the pull rod 2 is located in the second suction chamber 11, and the second end of the pull rod 2 is located outside the suction cup body 1 away from the adsorption surface, so that when the staff pulls the pull rod 2, the bone rod 12 connected to the pull rod 2 pushes the slider 8 to slide in the guide groove, and the spring member 9 connected to the slider 8 switches between compression and reset, and at the same time, the diaphragm 7 is deformed by the bone rod 12, so as to utilize the deformation of the diaphragm 7 to change the internal space of the first suction chamber 10, thereby enabling negative pressure to be generated inside the negative pressure chamber 4.

[0026] In the initial state, the diaphragm 7 is in a conical shape, the top of the cone of the diaphragm 7 faces the first suction chamber 10, and all the spring parts 9 are in a natural state; in the adsorption state, the diaphragm 7 is pulled by the pull rod 2 into a state symmetrical to the diaphragm 7 in the initial state, and the top of the cone of the diaphragm 7 faces the second suction chamber 11, and all the spring parts 9 are in a natural state.

[0027] Reference Figure 3Working principle: In the initial state, the elastic force of the elastic member is used to keep the diaphragm 7 in a stable state. When transporting, the annular sealing surface 3 of the suction cup is in contact with the object to be transported, so that a closed space is formed inside the negative pressure chamber 4; then, the pull rod 2 is lifted to drive the center of the diaphragm 7 to lift up through the bone rod 12, and at the same time, the slider 8 is pushed away from the center of the suction chamber. At this time, the spring member 9 gradually enters a compressed state; when the pull rod 2 is lifted and the bone rod 12 enters a horizontal state, the slider 8 is at the farthest end, and the extrusion force on the spring member 9 is also at the maximum value. At this time, the pull rod 2 is continued to be lifted, and the bone rod 12 begins to pull The movable slider 8 moves toward the center of the suction chamber, and the elastic member begins to gradually reset; when the cone top of the diaphragm 7 faces the second suction chamber 11 and is symmetrical with the diaphragm 7 in the initial state, the suction cup enters the adsorption state, and all spring members 9 are reset to the initial state, that is, all spring members 9 are in a natural state, and then the spring members 9 and the diaphragm 7 constitute the resistance to the downward movement of the pull rod 2, so that the pull rod 2 remains stable in this state, and then the operator can release the pull of the pull rod 2. When it is necessary to release the transported object, just push the pull rod 2 down to the initial state.

[0028] As can be seen from the above, the present invention provides a flange 6 and a deformable diaphragm 7 inside the suction chamber; a plurality of annular uniformly distributed guide holes are provided on the flange 6, and all the guide holes are linear holes, and one end of all the guide holes is toward the center of the suction chamber; each guide hole is provided with a slider 8 that can slide inside the slider 8 and a spring member 9 that is arranged on the side of the slider 8 away from the center of the suction chamber, and one end of each spring is connected to the flange 6, and the other end is connected to the corresponding slider 8; at the same time, the diaphragm 7 is arranged on the inner side of the flange 6, and The outer edge of the diaphragm 7 is fixed to the inner edge of the flange 6 to separate the suction chamber into a first suction chamber 10 and a second suction chamber 11; the distal ends of the bone rods 12 arranged on the diaphragm 7 are movably connected to the sliders 8 one by one, and the proximal ends of the bone rods 12 are movably connected to the first end of the pull rod 2, and the first end of the pull rod 2 is located in the second suction chamber 11, and the second end of the pull rod 2 is located outside the side of the suction cup body 1 away from the adsorption surface, so that the pull rod 2 can pull the center of the diaphragm 7 to move, so that the diaphragm 7 is deformed. The diaphragm 7 is in a conical shape, and when the diaphragm 7 is in the initial state, the top of the cone of the diaphragm 7 faces the first suction chamber 10, and all the spring members 9 are in a natural state. When the pull rod 2 is lifted up to make the diaphragm 7 enter a state symmetrical to the diaphragm 7 in the initial state, all the spring members 9 are in a natural state. This structural design allows the operator to release the pull rod 2 when the suction cup is in the adsorption state, without having to keep the pull rod 2 in the pulling state.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both ends of the bone rod 12 are separated from the diaphragm 7, and the portion between the two ends of the bone rod 12 is attached to and fixed to the diaphragm 7. This structural design facilitates the connection of the bone rod 12 to the slider 8 and the pull rod 2, and also facilitates the connection of the diaphragm 7 to the flange 6.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a circular hole is provided in the center of the diaphragm 7, and a flexible sheet 13 made of flexible material and connected to the diaphragm 7 is provided in the circular hole to facilitate the switching of the diaphragm 7 between the initial state and the adsorption state.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a radially retractable elastic band is provided at the contact point between the diaphragm 7 and the flange 6, so that the diaphragm 7 has a better deformation ability when switching between the initial state and the adsorption state.
