Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a vacuum suction cup, in particular to a vacuum suction cup based on a snap-on rubber structure. Background Art

[0002] The electric suction cup is a commonly used handling tool. The rubber on the bottom of the suction cup is attached to the adsorbed object, and then the air between the base and the adsorbed object is extracted, thereby forming a vacuum with the help of the sealing effect, so that it is tightly adsorbed to the adsorbed object and the handling effect is achieved. When the electric suction cup completes the handling action, the vacuum chamber between the base and the adsorbed object is depressurized, thereby destroying the negative pressure vacuum state in the vacuum chamber, so that the suction cup base can be freely separated from the adsorbed object. On this basis, the traditional vacuum suction cup installation method for the rubber is to fix the rubber directly to the bottom of the frame, but because the sealing stability of the rubber will be affected by bumps, deformation and other problems during long-term use, the user needs to replace the rubber together with the suction cup frame during maintenance, thereby increasing the replacement cost of the rubber.

[0003] To address this problem, some manufacturers currently install the rubber by buckling it with the suction cup frame, but this installation method is only applicable to rubber structures made of hard rubber. Rubber made of soft rubber will curl and deform and loosen and peel due to excessive force after buckling, which means that it cannot ensure stable buckling with the suction cup frame. The disadvantage of hard rubber compared to soft rubber is that, due to the relatively weak deformation ability of hard rubber, it is easy to form gaps at the joint when adsorbing uneven surfaces, which affects the sealing performance of the rubber and the handling stability of the electric suction cup.

[0004] Secondly, the existing electric suction cup installation method for the battery is to fix the battery box in the handle of the electric suction cup and set a snap-on cover on the outside of the battery box; during operation, the operator needs to first release and remove the cover, then insert the battery into the battery box, and finally close the cover to complete the installation. This method will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the operator's operation and easily cause the cover to loosen and be lost after long-term use.

[0005] Therefore, the existing electric suction cup cannot realize the separate replacement of the rubber while ensuring the stable installation of the rubber, and there is also the problem of inconvenient battery disassembly and assembly. Summary of the invention

A power connection socket fixedly connected to the handle is provided on the outer side of the power connection board, and one end of the power connection socket is fitted with the power connection board via an elastic power supply portion, and the other end of the power connection socket is electrically connected to the air pump.

[0013] In the aforementioned vacuum suction cup based on the snap-on rubber structure, the outer end of the battery box is provided with a cover plate that is rotatably connected to the handle, the end of the cover plate extends to the inside of the handle and forms a hook, the outside of the hook is snap-connected with a power-taking button, the power-taking button is snap-connected to the handle at the end away from the hook, and the inner side of the power-taking button is connected to the handle via a first elastic member.

[0014] In the aforementioned vacuum suction cup based on the snap-on rubber structure, an air pump and a pressure relief assembly are respectively provided in the handle, the bottom of the rubber is recessed inward to form an air suction chamber, and the air pump, the pressure relief assembly and the air suction chamber are interconnected; the pressure relief assembly comprises an air inlet and outlet pipe, and a first air vent, a second air vent and an exhaust port are respectively provided on the air inlet and outlet pipes, the outside of the first air vent is connected to the air pump, the outside of the second air vent is connected to the air suction chamber, a pressure relief button is provided on the outside of the exhaust port, a rotating handle is provided in the middle of the pressure relief button, a plug matching the exhaust port is provided at one end of the pressure relief button, and a pressing portion for controlling the rotation of the pressure relief button is provided at the other end of the pressure relief button.

[0016] In the aforementioned vacuum suction cup based on the snap-on rubber structure, an air pressure sensor is connected to the outside of the air inlet and outlet pipes.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following characteristics:

[0018] (1) The present invention defines the rubber connection structure so that it can be connected to the bottom of the suction cup frame through the cooperation and buckling of the snap-fit ​​groove and the snap-fit ​​part during installation, thereby forming a labyrinth groove structure between the rubber and the suction cup frame, that is, improving the sealing effect of the connection between the two; on the other hand, the support frame and the snap-fit ​​groove can be used to rigidly limit the snap-fit ​​part to prevent the rubber from peeling off;

[0019] (2) On the basis of the above, by screwing the support frame to the bottom of the suction cup frame, the support frame can squeeze and limit the external rubber after being fixed, so that the rubber cannot be separated from the suction cup frame by force deformation, thereby improving the installation stability and sealing effect of the rubber; by distributing the third air vent and the fourth air vent in a staggered manner and connecting them with each other through the suction channel, the air in the suction chamber can be discharged outward through the third air vent, the suction channel and the fourth air vent in sequence during suction, so that the suction channel can suck the inner end surface of the rubber under negative pressure, that is, ensure the installation stability and sealing effect of the rubber when it is used; and under the above cooperation, both rubber installation methods can achieve separate disassembly and assembly of the rubber while ensuring its installation stability;

[0020] (3) Through the structural coordination of the lip, deformation groove and retaining edge, on the one hand, the deformation ability of the lip can be improved, so that the lip can be folded down and closely attached to the surface of the object when the vacuum chamber is in a negative pressure state, thereby improving its sealing effect; on the other hand, when the operator presses the vacuum suction cup, the retaining edge can also be used to limit the lip, that is, to prevent the lip from sticking to the upper clamping part after being deformed by pressure and affecting the subsequent folding effect, thereby further improving the sealing effect of the rubber;

[0021] (4) By limiting the structure of the power extraction assembly, when the operator is installing or removing the battery box, he only needs to press the power extraction button to release the buckle limit of the cover plate, and the battery box can push the cover plate open and pop out under the rebound action of the elastic power extraction part, thereby facilitating the operator to disassemble and replace the battery box;

[0022] (5) By defining the structure of the pressure relief assembly, on the one hand, the pressure relief button can be pressed to control the plug to close or move away from the exhaust port, thereby realizing the pressure relief function; on the other hand, the pressure relief button can also form a lever structure, that is, the pressing force required to rotate the pressure relief button to open the plug is effectively reduced, thereby facilitating the user's operation;

[0023] (6) An opening for the pressure relief button is provided on the side wall of the handle, so that the pressure relief button can be engaged with the opening under the squeezing action of the second elastic member in the non-pressure relief state, thereby sealing the inner cavity of the handle and preventing external impurities from entering the handle and causing obstruction; and when the user presses the pressing portion to relieve pressure, a gap for gas to enter is formed between the pressing portion and the opening, thereby achieving a quick pressure relief function;

A power supply socket 9 which is fixedly connected to the handle 2 is provided at the outer side of the power supply board 8. One end of the power supply socket 9 is fitted with the power supply board 8 via an elastic power supply portion 10, and the elastic power supply portion 10 is a battery spring. The other end of the power supply socket 9 is electrically connected to the air pump 6. The battery box 7 is a split structure and is snap-fitted to each other.

[0041] The outer end of the battery box 7 is provided with a cover plate 11 which is rotatably connected to the handle 2. The end of the cover plate 11 extends to the inner side of the handle 2 and forms a hook 111. The outside of the hook 111 is snap-fitted with a power-taking button 12.

[0042] An air pump 6 and a pressure relief assembly are respectively provided in the handle 2, the bottom of the rubber 3 is recessed inward to form an air suction chamber 14, and the air pump 6, the pressure relief assembly and the air suction chamber 14 are interconnected; the pressure relief assembly includes an air inlet and outlet pipe 15, and a first air vent 151, a second air vent 152 and an exhaust port 153 are respectively provided on the air inlet and outlet pipes 15, the outside of the first air vent 151 is connected to the air pump 6 via a hose, the outside of the second air vent 152 is buckled and connected to the suction cup frame 1 and is interconnected with the air suction chamber 14, and a pressure relief button 16 is provided on the outside of the exhaust port 153, the middle part of the pressure relief button 16 rotates the handle 2, and one end of the pressure relief button 16 is provided with a plug 17 that matches the exhaust port 153, the plug 17 is made of flexible material and buckles with the pressure relief button 16, and the other end of the pressure relief button 16 is provided with a pressing portion 161 for controlling the rotation of the pressure relief button 16.

[0043] An opening 201 that matches the pressing portion 161 is provided on the side wall of the handle 2. The outer end of the pressing portion 161 is interlocked with the opening 201 to form a seal. The inner end of the pressing portion 161 is connected to the handle 2 via a second elastic member 18. The second elastic member 18 can be a compression spring. When the operator presses the pressing portion 161, the pressure relief button 16 rotates to drive the plug 17 to open, thereby releasing the blockage of the exhaust port 153, allowing the gas in the suction chamber 14 to be discharged outward from the exhaust port 153 of the inlet and outlet pipes 15, completing the pressure relief; when the operator releases the pressure, the second elastic member 18 rebounds to drive the pressure relief button 16 to rotate and reset, and the plug 17 re-blocks the exhaust port 153, so that the vacuum pump 6 can suck the gas in the suction chamber 14 through the inlet and outlet pipes 15 to achieve the suction function.

[0044] When the pressure relief button 16 is in a pressed state, a gap for gas circulation is formed between the pressing portion 161 and the opening 201, allowing external air to enter the air inlet and outlet pipes 15 through the gap; when the pressure relief button 16 is in a non-pressed state, the pressing portion 161 and the opening 201 interlock with each other and close the opening 201.

[0045] The outside of the air inlet and outlet pipe 15 is connected to an air pressure sensor 19 with a display function through the third exhaust port 154 . The display meter of the air pressure sensor 19 extends to the outer wall of the handle 2 and is used to display the air pressure value in the air extraction cavity 14 .

[0046] The rubber 3 is provided in the middle with a third vent 304 communicating with the second vent 152 , and the dustproof sheet 20 is buckled and connected to the middle of the third vent 304 .

[0047] Working principle of the present invention: When the present invention is used, the operator first places the vacuum suction cup on the surface of the object, and makes the bottom of the lip 302 fit with the adsorption surface of the object. Then turn on the vacuum pump 6 to extract the air in the vacuum chamber 14 to achieve the adsorption effect. When the vacuum chamber 14 is in a negative pressure vacuum state, the lip 302 is folded downward under the action of air pressure and closely adheres to the surface of the object, thereby improving its sealing effect; at the same time, the plug 17 is closely fitted with the exhaust port 153 under the cooperation of the second elastic member 18 and the vacuum pump 6, so that the exhaust port 153 remains in a sealed state, ensuring the vacuum pump 6's vacuum effect on the vacuum chamber 14.

[0048] When the vacuum suction cup completes the transporting action, the operator presses the pressure relief button 16. The operator presses the pressing part 161 to drive the pressure relief button 16 to rotate, so that the plug 17 is separated from the exhaust port 153 as the rotation occurs. At the same time, the pressing part 161 is separated from the opening 201 as the rotation occurs, so that the external air can pass through the opening 201, the exhaust port 153, the air inlet and outlet pipes 15 and the third vent 304 in sequence to enter the vacuum chamber, thereby achieving a pressure relief effect.

[0049] When it is necessary to disassemble the battery box 7 in the handle 2, the operator presses the power button 12, so that the power button 12 bends inward to release the buckle limit on the cover 11. After the limit of the cover 11 is released, the resilience of the elastic power-taking part 10 will drive the battery box 7 to push the cover 11 outward, thereby facilitating the operator to remove the battery box 7. Similarly, when it is necessary to install the battery box 7, the operator only needs to insert the battery box 7 into the handle 2, and then flip the cover 11 to the buckled position, so that the cover 11 can be hard-limited to the battery box 7 after buckling, that is, to ensure the stable fit between the power board 8 and the elastic power-taking part 10, and to ensure the stability of its electrical connection.
