A circuit board A25 is provided in each of the bases 2, and the circuit board A25 is respectively provided with a first electrical signal plug interface 251, a second electrical signal plug interface 252 and a third electrical signal plug interface 253, wherein any two adjacent bases 2 are plugged in and matched with each other through the corresponding first electrical signal plug interface 251 and the second electrical signal plug interface 252 to achieve electrical connection between the two adjacent bases 2; a circuit board B13 is provided inside the vacuum generator 1, and the circuit board B13 is provided with a fourth electrical signal plug interface 131 which is plugged in and matched with the third electrical signal plug interface 253 to achieve electrical connection between the vacuum generator 1 and the base 2. It also includes a first mounting seat 3 and a second mounting seat 4, and a plurality of bases 2 are serially connected between the first mounting seat 3 and the second mounting seat 4 along the X-axis direction. The first mounting seat 3 is provided with a circuit board C31, and the circuit board C31 is provided with a fifth electrical signal plug interface 311. The fifth electrical signal plug interface 311 is plugged into and matched with the first electrical signal plug interface 251 of the base 2 located at the outermost side to realize the electrical connection between the first mounting seat 3 and the base 2 at the outermost side.

[0030] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention aims to provide a valve island type vacuum generator system, including a plurality of vacuum generators 1, and a plurality of bases 2 corresponding to the vacuum generators 1, the plurality of bases 2 are stacked along the X-axis direction, and each of the vacuum generators 1 is removably plugged and matched with the corresponding base 2, so that the two are mechanically and electrically connected. When the vacuum generator 1 fails or needs to be repaired, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire valve island assembly. By pulling the latch 6 forward and moving the latch 6 from the first position to the second position, the vacuum generator 1 and the base 2 can be released from the fixed connection, so that the vacuum generator 1 can be removed from the corresponding base 2. The structure is simple and easy to operate, which saves the time of disassembling the vacuum generator 1 and improves the work efficiency. Similarly, when installing the vacuum generator 1, the vacuum generator 1 is inserted into the base 2, and the latch 6 is moved from the second position to the first position to achieve the fixed connection between the vacuum generator 1 and the base 2, which greatly facilitates the installation of the vacuum generator 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the first mounting seat 3, the second mounting seat 4 and the base 2 are provided with a connector 32 transversely through them to realize the detachable connection of the first mounting seat 3, the second mounting seat 4 and the base 2.

When the vacuum generator 1 needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to disassemble the vacuum generator 1 without disassembling the entire valve island assembly, making the repair and maintenance of the vacuum generator 1 more convenient. Furthermore, the unified intake and unified exhaust method is adopted, so that each vacuum generator 1 does not need to be additionally provided with an intake assembly (such as an air pipe, etc.) and a silencer 431, which is conducive to reducing the cost of the vacuum generator system.

The locking tongue 63 is inserted into the third locking opening 161 to achieve locking cooperation, so as to achieve fixed connection between the vacuum generator 1 and the base 2. At this time, the vacuum generator 1 cannot be removed from the base 2; when it is necessary to move the latch 6 from the first position to the second position, the latch 6 is pulled forward by the handle 65, so that the locking buckle 151 is disengaged from the second locking opening 62, the locking groove 141 slides into the large opening end 611 of the first locking opening 61, and the locking tongue 63 is disengaged from the third locking opening 161, so as to release the fixed connection between the vacuum generator 1 and the base 2.

After entering the second locking opening 62, the locking buckle 151 recovers under the action of its own elastic force to achieve the locking function. The setting of the guide slope 1513 facilitates the locking buckle 151 to drive the protrusion 1512 to insert into the second locking opening 62, and the setting of the locking slope 1514 is used for locking with the second locking opening 62. In a further embodiment, the inclination angle of the locking slope 1514 is larger than the inclination angle of the guide slope 1513, so that the locking slope 1514 can achieve locking with the second locking opening 62, so that the latch 6 remains in a state of locking with the locking buckle 151.

[0038] In a further embodiment, the first locking opening 61 includes a large opening end 611 for the first plug portion 14 to enter and a small opening end 612 for locking with the first plug portion 14.

In this embodiment, Fig.10 and Fig.24As shown, the first Laval nozzle is used inside the first-stage nozzle 103, and the second Laval nozzle is used inside the second-stage nozzle 104. The suction side hole 106 includes a first suction side hole 1061 corresponding to the first Laval nozzle and a second suction side hole 1062 corresponding to the second Laval nozzle. The first-stage nozzle 103, the second-stage nozzle 104 and the receiving tube 105 are connected in series in sequence along the axial direction, and the connection relationship is stable and reliable, not easy to separate, and easy to disassemble and assemble. After the gas passes through the first Laval nozzle, it passes through the second Laval nozzle to generate a secondary vacuum. Through this bipolar vacuum structural design, the flow rate of the product when vacuuming is very large, and the vacuuming speed is faster.

[0043] In a further embodiment, the nozzle assembly 10 also includes a mounting head connected to the receiving tube 105, one end of the mounting head extends out of the device main body module 7, and the end of the mounting head extending out of the device main body module 7 is provided with a handle portion 109.

Fig.10 and Fig.24 As shown, when the nozzle assembly 10 needs to be repaired or replaced, the user can use the handle 109 to screw the installation head to drive the nozzle assembly 10 to rotate.

After insertion, the installation head and the nozzle assembly 10 are driven to rotate in the chamber 108 by the handle 109, so that the limiting portion enters the limiting groove through the notch groove, plays a limiting role, and prevents the nozzle assembly 10 from unexpectedly slipping out of the chamber 108.

[0044] In a further embodiment, a fifth sealing ring 107 is provided at the connection between the primary nozzle 103 and the secondary nozzle 104, and at the connection between the secondary nozzle 104 and the receiving tube 105.

The control valve unit is provided with a pilot air intake converging channel 85, a vacuum control air channel 86 and a piercing air control air channel 87. The pilot air intake converging channel 85 is connected to the vacuum pilot valve 83 and the piercing air pilot valve 84 respectively, the vacuum control air channel 86 is connected to the vacuum pilot valve 83 and the vacuum valve 81 respectively, and the piercing air control air channel 87 is connected to the piercing air pilot valve 84 and the piercing air valve 82 respectively; the air control valve unit is provided with a vacuum valve air inlet 811 and a vacuum valve air outlet 812 corresponding to the vacuum valve 81, and a vacuum valve air outlet 813 corresponding to the piercing air valve 82. The air-breaking valve air inlet 821 and the air-breaking valve air outlet 822 should be coordinated, the air-breaking valve air inlet 821 is always connected with the pilot air inlet convergence channel 85; the vacuum valve air inlet 811 is connected with the generator air inlet 11 through the first air path 71, the vacuum valve air outlet 812 is connected with the generator air outlet 12 through the second air path 72, the air-breaking valve air inlet 821 is connected with the generator air inlet 11 through the third air path 73, and the air-breaking valve air outlet 822 is connected with the negative pressure suction working port 75 of the equipment main module 7 through the fourth air path 74. The air-controlled valve unit also includes an air-controlled valve body 88, in which a partition 881 is provided, and the partition 881 divides the inner cavity of the air-controlled valve body 88 into an upper mounting cavity 882 and a lower mounting cavity 883. The vacuum valve 81 is provided in the upper mounting cavity 882, and the air-breaking valve 82 is provided in the lower mounting cavity 883. A valve stem A813 is movably provided in the vacuum valve 81, and a valve stem A813 is provided between the upper end surface of the valve stem A813 and the air-controlled valve body 88. The upper chamber, the lower chamber of valve stem A is provided between the lower end surface of valve stem A813 and the partition 881, the valve stem B823 is movably provided in the air-breaking valve 82, the upper chamber of valve stem B is provided between the upper end surface of valve stem B823 and the partition 881, the lower chamber of valve stem B is provided between the lower end surface of valve stem B823 and the air-controlled valve body 88, the vacuum control airway 86 is connected with the upper chamber of valve stem A, and the air-breaking control airway 87 is connected with both the lower chamber of valve stem A and the upper chamber of valve stem B. The partition 881 is provided with an air vent for connecting the lower chamber of valve stem A and the upper chamber of valve stem B. The pilot air intake confluence channel 85 is always connected with the air-breaking valve air inlet 821, that is, the pilot air intake confluence channel 85 is always connected with the positive pressure air source.

[0046] In this embodiment, the air-breaking valve 82 is provided with a reset spring B for controlling the reset of the valve stem B823. It should be noted that the valve stem A813 can also achieve the reset function by moving upward under the action of air pressure. Therefore, the user can selectively assemble the reset spring A for resetting the valve stem A813 according to their actual needs. When the user chooses not to assemble the reset spring A in the lower cavity of the valve stem A, the vacuum generator 1 has a power-off holding function. Specifically, after the suction cup installed at the negative pressure suction working port 75 adsorbs the product and there is a sudden power outage during the transportation process, the valve stem A813 will not automatically reset, but will always remain in the current position. At this time, the suction cup will always remain in the working state of adsorbing the product and will not release the product. This function helps to protect the adsorbed product and avoid the adsorbed product from being released during transportation due to power outage and causing damage.

[0047] The valve island type vacuum generator system described in the present invention can realize multiple functions, such as vacuuming and breaking air operations. Through modular design, the overall structure becomes more compact, thereby saving installation space and facilitating installation and subsequent maintenance work. The connections between various components are tighter, reducing the possibility of leakage, and can achieve efficient collaborative work. It can not only draw vacuum from the system to achieve the required vacuum degree, but also quickly break the vacuum state when needed and restore to a normal atmospheric pressure environment. This vacuum generator system can meet the diverse needs under complex working conditions, thereby significantly improving work efficiency.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the vacuum valve 81 and the air-breaking valve 82 are both two-position two-way air-controlled valves, and the vacuum pilot valve 83 and the air-breaking pilot valve 84 are both two-position three-way solenoid valves; the vacuum valve air inlet 811 of the vacuum valve 81 is connected to the generator air inlet 11 through the first air path 71, and the vacuum valve air outlet 812 of the vacuum valve 81 is connected to the nozzle assembly air inlet 101 through the second air path 72; the air-breaking valve air inlet 821 of the air-breaking valve 82 is connected to the generator air inlet 11 through the third air path 73, and the air-breaking valve air outlet 822 of the air-breaking valve 82 is connected to the negative pressure suction working port 75 through the fourth air path 74. The chamber 108 is provided with a first side wall hole corresponding to the first suction side hole 1061 and a second side wall hole corresponding to the second suction side hole 1062; a second one-way valve flap is provided at the second side wall hole, and a first one-way valve flap can be selectively provided at the first side wall hole. In this embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, a first one-way valve flap is arranged at the first side wall hole, and a second one-way valve flap is arranged at the second side wall hole.

[0049] Working process: the positive pressure gas source takes in air through the positive pressure concentrated air inlet 41, and the positive pressure gas entering from the positive pressure concentrated air inlet 41 is divided into two paths, one path is through the base air inlet 21, the generator air inlet 11, and the first air path 71 to reach the vacuum valve air inlet 811 of the vacuum valve 81; the other path is through the base air inlet 21, the generator air inlet 11, and the third air path 73 to reach the air-breaking valve air inlet 821 of the air-breaking valve 82. When the vacuum valve 81 needs to work, the vacuum pilot valve 83 works, so that the vacuum control airway 86 is opened, the valve stem A813 moves downward, the vacuum valve outlet 812 of the vacuum valve 81 is connected with the vacuum valve inlet 811, and the positive pressure gas enters the nozzle assembly inlet 101 of the nozzle assembly 10 through the second air path 72; when the positive pressure gas flows through the nozzle assembly 10, a negative pressure is generated around the nozzle assembly 10, that is, a high negative pressure is generated around the first-level nozzle 103, and a low negative pressure is generated around the second-level nozzle 104, driving the negative pressure suction working port 75 to inhale, and the air pressure difference between the chamber 108 and the negative pressure suction chamber 751 causes the first one-way valve flap and the second one-way valve flap to open. When the negative pressure value generated in the chamber 108 is less than the negative pressure value of the second suction side hole 1062, the second one-way valve flap is closed, and the first one-way valve flap is still open to achieve inhalation; at this time, the valve stem B823 does not move, and the air-breaking valve 82 does not work. When the air-breaking valve 82 needs to work, the air-breaking pilot valve 84 controls the air-breaking control airway 87 to open, the valve stem A813 moves up, the valve stem B823 moves down, the vacuum valve 81 does not work, the air-breaking valve outlet 822 of the air-breaking valve 82 is connected with the air-breaking valve inlet 821, and the positive pressure gas will be divided into two paths after coming out of the air-breaking valve outlet 822. The first path of gas passes through the throttle of the throttle valve 78 and reaches the negative pressure suction working port 75 through the fourth gas path 74 to break the air and discharge; the second path of gas enters the filter device 79, the negative pressure suction chamber 751 and the nozzle assembly 10, and is finally discharged from the centralized exhaust port 43. The setting of the second path of gas ensures that the air-breaking pressure reaching the negative pressure suction working port 75 will not be too high, which is conducive to protecting the adsorbed product. When the air-breaking control airway 87 is closed, the valve stem B823 is reset under the action of the reset spring B.

[0050] In this embodiment, a first one-way valve flap is provided at the first suction side hole 1061. The setting of the first one-way valve flap enables the vacuum generator 1 to have the function of maintaining vacuum. Specifically, when the product has been adsorbed and the pressure gauge module 9 measures that the negative pressure value reaches a preset value, such as -80Kpa, the vacuum valve 81 stops working and the first one-way valve flap closes, so that the negative pressure value in the negative pressure suction chamber 751 is maintained within a preset range. At this time, the vacuum generator 1 will not continue to consume positive pressure gas, thereby greatly reducing the consumption of positive pressure gas.

[0051] In a further embodiment, the vacuum valve 81 is provided with a vacuum manual lever 814, and the air-breaking pilot valve 84 is provided with an air-breaking manual lever 841. In an initial state, the vacuum valve air inlet 811 of the vacuum valve 81 is not connected to the vacuum valve air outlet 812. When the vacuum manual lever 814 is pressed, the vacuum valve air inlet 811 of the vacuum valve 81 is connected to the vacuum valve air outlet 812; in an initial state, the air-breaking valve air inlet 821 of the air-breaking valve 82 is not connected to the air-breaking valve air outlet 822. When the air-breaking manual lever 841 is pressed, the air-breaking valve air inlet 821 of the air-breaking valve 82 is connected to the air-breaking valve air outlet 822. By providing the vacuum manual lever 814 and the air-breaking manual lever 841, both electrical control and manual control can be realized. In the event of insufficient power supply or failure, the user can perform manual control operations to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. The dual control method greatly improves the reliability and flexibility of the equipment. In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, since the vacuum generator 1 is a sheet-like structure, and in order to make the structure of the vacuum generator 1 compact, the vacuum manual rod 814 is arranged on the vacuum valve 81. The specific structures of the vacuum pilot valve 83, the air-breaking pilot valve 84 and the air-breaking manual rod 841 can refer to a solenoid control valve disclosed in a Chinese invention patent application (publication number: CN110657276A). In view of the fact that the basic structures / principles of the vacuum pilot valve 83, the air-breaking pilot valve 84 and the air-breaking manual rod 841 have been disclosed in detail in the prior art, they will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

The valve assembly module 8 is quickly positioned with the device main body module 7 by the cooperation of the first wedge-shaped positioning block 891 with the first wedge-shaped positioning groove 76, and the cooperation of the second wedge-shaped positioning block 892 with the second wedge-shaped positioning groove 77, and then the valve assembly module 8 is fixedly installed to the device main body module 7 by a bolt, so that the valve assembly module 8 can be quickly and conveniently fixedly installed to the device main body module 7. In addition, in the process of tightening the bolts, the first wedge-shaped positioning block 891 and the first wedge-shaped positioning groove 76, and the second wedge-shaped positioning block 892 and the second wedge-shaped positioning groove 77 are gradually wedged, so that the connection between the valve assembly module 8 and the device main body module 7 is tight and stable.

[0053] In a further embodiment, the pressure gauge module 9 is provided with a pressure sensor 91, and the detection end of the pressure sensor 91 extends into the negative pressure suction chamber 751 to detect the negative pressure data in the negative pressure suction chamber 751. Fig.11As shown, the energy-saving function of the vacuum generator 1 is realized by setting a pressure sensor 91. Specifically, the pressure sensor 91 detects the negative pressure data in the negative pressure suction chamber 751, and after comparing the pressure value with the preset pressure range, the vacuum pilot valve 83 is switched between the on and off states, so that the negative pressure value in the negative pressure suction chamber 751 is maintained within a preset and stable range, preventing the adsorbed object from falling, and greatly reducing the consumption of positive pressure gas.

[0054] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vacuum generator 1 further includes a throttle valve 78, which is arranged on the fourth gas path 74 and located between the air-breaking valve outlet 822 and the negative pressure suction working port 75. The positive pressure gas flowing out of the air-breaking valve 82 reaches the negative pressure suction working port 75 after being throttled by the throttle valve 78. Fig.11 As shown, the positive pressure gas flowing out of the air-breaking valve outlet 822 of the air-breaking valve 82 passes through the throttling of the throttle valve 78 and reaches the negative pressure suction working port 75 through the fourth gas path 74 for air-breaking. The setting of the throttle valve 78 can adjust the flow rate of the air-breaking outlet, thereby avoiding the blowing away of the product due to the large air-breaking flow when adsorbing small products.

[0055] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a silencer 431 is provided at the centralized exhaust port 43. A fourth sealing ring 432 is provided at the silencer 431 and the centralized exhaust port 43.

The unified exhaust method is adopted, so that each vacuum generator 1 does not need to be additionally provided with a silencer 431, which is beneficial to reduce the cost of the vacuum generator system. The provision of the fourth sealing ring 432 increases the sealing between the silencer 431 and the first mounting seat 3 and the second mounting seat 4.
