For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the embodiment of the present application provides a functional bin 1000, which comprises a bin body 100. The bin body 100 has a window 130 communicating with the inner cavity thereof, and the window 130 is used for penetrating a mechanical arm 2000 (see Figure 8 ) so that at least part of the mechanical arm 2000 extends into the inner cavity of the bin body 100. Wherein, the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 is provided with a first elastic sealing element, and / or the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000 is sleeved with a second elastic sealing element 210 corresponding to the part of the inner circumferential wall of the window 130, and the first elastic sealing element and / or the second elastic sealing element 210 are used to be elastically deformed to extrude and fill between the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 and the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000 when the mechanical arm 2000 penetrates the window 130, so as to realize dynamic sealing between the bin body 100 and the mechanical arm 2000.

[0048] Optionally, in the examples of Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000 is sleeved with a ring-shaped second elastic sealing element 210 corresponding to the part of the inner circumferential wall of the window 130, and the second elastic sealing element 210 is elastically deformed to extrude and fill between the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 and the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000 when the mechanical arm 2000 penetrates the window 130, so as to realize dynamic sealing between the bin body 100 and the mechanical arm 2000.

[0049] In another embodiment of the present application, the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 can be provided with a first elastic seal in the form of a ring, and the first elastic seal is elastically deformed to press against the space between the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 and the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000 when the mechanical arm 2000 is inserted into the window 130, thereby achieving dynamic sealing between the bin body 100 and the mechanical arm 2000.

[0050] Of course, in yet another embodiment of the present application, the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 can be provided with a first elastic seal, and the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000 is provided with a second elastic seal 210 corresponding to the position of the inner circumferential wall of the window 130, and the first elastic seal and the second elastic seal 210 are elastically deformed to press against the space between the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 and the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000 when the mechanical arm 2000 is inserted into the window 130, thereby achieving dynamic sealing between the bin body 100 and the mechanical arm 2000. The first elastic seal and the second elastic seal 210 can be complementarily arranged along the circumference of the window 130, i.e., the first elastic seal and the second elastic seal 210 are not ring-shaped elastic seals, but are arc-shaped elastic seals that complementarily form a complete ring-shaped elastic seal after being elastically deformed, thereby achieving dynamic sealing between the bin body 100 and the mechanical arm 2000 through the cooperation of the first elastic seal and the second elastic seal 210. The first elastic seal and the second elastic seal 210 can also be arranged along the axial direction of the window 130, and both are ring-shaped elastic seals, thereby achieving double dynamic sealing between the bin body 100 and the mechanical arm 2000 through the first elastic seal and the second elastic seal 210.

[0051] In summary, in the embodiments of the present application, by providing the first elastic seal on the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 and / or the second elastic seal 210 on the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000, the elastic seal is elastically deformed when the mechanical arm 2000 is inserted into the window 130, and then presses against the space between the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 and the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000, thereby achieving dynamic sealing between the mechanical arm 2000 and the bin body 100, and achieving the purpose of preventing external dust from entering the bin body 100 and preventing the material in the bin body 100 from escaping to the outside.

[0052] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the functional bin 1000 can be provided with additional devices as needed to serve as functional bins 1000 with different functions.

[0053] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the interior of the bin body 100 is provided with a dust removal device for cleaning the part of the mechanical arm 2000 that extends into the bin body 100 and the material bag 3000 held by the mechanical arm 2000 (see Figure 8The dust on the surface allows the functional chamber 1000 to function as an air shower chamber with dust removal capabilities, thus enabling its application in unpacking systems. Optionally, the dust removal device includes a roller brush mechanism and / or an air blowing mechanism, and may also include other existing dust removal mechanisms, without limitation.

[0054] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, in other embodiments of the present invention, the functional compartment 1000 further includes a support 300 and a bag-breaking cutter 400. The compartment body 100 is mounted on the support 300, and the bag-breaking cutter 400 is installed in the inner cavity of the compartment body 100. The bag-breaking cutter 400 is used to break the material bag 3000 held by the robotic arm 2000, so that the functional compartment 1000 can be used as a bag-breaking compartment with bag-breaking function, and thus applied in a packaging unpacking system. Preferably, in Figure 1 In the example, the bag-breaking knife 400 includes at least two bag-breaking blades, which are detachably installed within the housing 100 in a predetermined configuration. The predetermined configuration includes either two bag-breaking blades arranged in parallel or at least two bag-breaking blades arranged in a cross configuration. In other words, in... Figure 1 In the example, the bag-breaking cutter 400 includes at least two bag-breaking blades that can be combined and installed in different preset configurations as needed. This allows it to be adapted to the robotic arm 2000 to grip material bags 3000 of different sizes, maximizing the bag-breaking efficiency of the cutter 400 on the material bags 3000. It is easy to understand that the bag-breaking blades included in the cutter 400 can be, but are not limited to, single-edged blades, double-edged blades, or blades with multiple toothed edges; there is no limitation in this regard.

[0055] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 Taking the functional compartment 1000 as an example of a bag-breaking compartment, the specific structure of the functional compartment 1000 provided in one embodiment of the present invention will be further described.

[0056] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the functional compartment 1000 further includes a discharge hopper 500 and a feeding pipe 600. The discharge hopper 500 is mounted on the bracket 300 and located below the compartment body 100, and the feeding pipe 600 is disposed on the side of the discharge hopper 500 away from the compartment body 100. The inlet end of the discharge hopper 500 is connected to the inner cavity of the compartment body 100 to receive material from the material bag 3000 after it has been broken open by the bag-breaking knife 400, and the outlet end of the discharge hopper 500 is connected to the feeding pipe 600. The feeding pipe 600 is used to connect to a negative pressure air source to transport material into the feeding pipe 600 under negative pressure.

[0057] existFigure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the example of the first aspect of the present application, the feeding pipe 600 is provided with at least one filter core communicating with the inner cavity of the feeding pipe 600, and the at least one filter core is used to supplement filtered air into the feeding pipe 600, and / or the cartridge body 100 is provided with at least one filter core communicating with the inner cavity of the cartridge body 100, and the at least one filter core is used to supplement filtered air into the inner cavity of the cartridge body 100. In this embodiment, the supplement of filtered air into the feeding pipe 600 through the at least one filter core can prevent the material from blocking the inner cavity of the feeding pipe 600, and the supplement of filtered air into the inner cavity of the cartridge body 100 through the at least one filter core can prevent the cartridge body 100 from being deformed due to the negative pressure during the process that the mechanical arm 2000 is sealed with the cartridge body 100 and the feeding pipe 600 is connected to the negative pressure air source to transport the material.

[0058] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present application, the feeding pipe 600 includes a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, and the connecting position of the discharge end of the discharge hopper 500 and the feeding pipe 600 is located between the first end and the second end of the feeding pipe 600, wherein the first end of the feeding pipe 600 is used to connect to the negative pressure air source, and the end of the second end of the feeding pipe 600 is provided with a first filter core 710. It is not difficult to understand that by arranging the first filter core 710 at one end (i.e. the second end) of the feeding pipe 600, when the first filter core 710 supplements filtered air into the feeding pipe 600, the generated air flow can flow in the entire feeding pipe 600 as much as possible, which is more conducive to preventing the material from blocking the inner cavity of the feeding pipe 600.

[0059] Preferably, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present application, the axial direction of the first filter core 710 is the same as the axial direction of the feeding pipe 600. By setting the axial direction of the first filter core 710 to be the same as the axial direction of the feeding pipe 600, the smoothness of the air supplement path of the first filter core 710 is improved, and the air supplement is more smooth.

[0060] Preferably, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the embodiment of the present application, the second filter core 720 is arranged on the feeding pipe 600, and is located between the first end of the feeding pipe 600 and the connecting position between the discharging end of the discharging hopper 500 and the feeding pipe 600. The second filter core 720 arranged on the feeding pipe 600 can assist in air supplement, that is, the air in the feeding pipe 600 is supplemented through the first filter core 710 and the second filter core 720, which is more conducive to preventing the material from blocking the inner cavity of the feeding pipe 600. Alternatively, the second filter core 720 can be opened when the feeding pipe 600 needs to be supplemented with air, and can be closed when the feeding pipe 600 does not need to be supplemented with air, that is, the second filter core 720 can be started and stopped at will, so that the second filter core 720 is controlled to be opened and closed according to actual needs, thereby reducing the working time and the required electric energy of the second filter core 720, and prolonging the service life of the second filter core 720 and reducing the energy consumption.

[0061] As shown in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the bin body 100 is provided with a third filter core 730 communicating with the inner cavity of the bin body 100, and the third filter core 730 is used for supplementing the filtered air to the inner cavity of the bin body 100 to prevent the bin body 100 from being deformed. The third filter core 730 can be arranged on the top side of the bin body 100 (i.e., the side away from the support 300), or can be arranged on the circumferential side of the bin body 100, and the present application is not limited in this regard. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the bin body 100 can be provided with two or more filter cores.

[0062] The first filter core 710, the second filter core 720 and the third filter core 730 can adopt existing air supplement filter cores, and the specific structure and working principle are not described herein.

[0063] As shown in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 4 , at least one side of the bin body 100 is provided with one or more reinforcing ribs 103. The reinforcing ribs 103 can enhance the structural strength of the bin body 100, thereby being more conducive to preventing the bin body 100 from being deformed. The reinforcing ribs 103 can be arranged in parallel or in a cross shape, and the present application is not limited in this regard.

[0064] As shown in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the discharging valve 550 is arranged between the discharging hopper 500 and the feeding pipe 600, and is used for controlling the amount of material entering the feeding pipe 600 from the discharging hopper 500, so as to realize quantitative feeding of the discharging hopper 500 into the feeding pipe 600. The discharging valve 550 can adopt a star-shaped discharging valve, and the present application is not limited in this regard.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 4 In one of the embodiments of the present application, the outer peripheral wall of the discharge hopper 500 is provided with a through hole, and the functional bin 1000 further comprises an equalizing pipe 800, one end of the equalizing pipe 800 is connected to the through hole of the discharge hopper 500, and the other end of the equalizing pipe 800 is used to communicate with the feeding pipe 600. In this embodiment, the inner cavity of the discharge hopper 500 is communicated with the inner cavity of the feeding pipe 600 by setting the equalizing pipe 800, so that the inner cavity of the discharge hopper 500 also forms a negative pressure under the action of the negative pressure air source, achieving the purpose of uniform pressure to the discharge hopper 500, which can prevent the material in the discharge hopper 500 from escaping.

[0066] Preferably, in Figure 4 In the example, the equalizing pipe 800 comprises a connecting section 810 and a main body section 830, one end of the connecting section 810 is connected to the discharge hopper 500, the other end of the connecting section 810 is connected to one end of the main body section 830, the other end of the main body section 830 is connected to the feeding pipe 600, wherein the connecting section 810 is inclined to extend towards the outside of the discharge hopper 500 and away from the bin body 100. In this embodiment, by setting the connecting section 810 of the equalizing pipe 800 to extend downwardly and obliquely, it is beneficial for the dust of the material to smoothly enter the equalizing pipe 800 under the action of the negative pressure, improving the effect of preventing dust from escaping. Alternatively, the other end of the main body section 830 can be connected to any part between the two ends of the feeding pipe 600, which is not limited.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 1In an embodiment of the present application, the storage body 100 specifically comprises a storage chamber body 101 and a pair of door plates 102 movably connected to the storage chamber body 101. The storage chamber body 101 is provided with an opening communicating with the inner cavity thereof. The pair of door plates 102 can be opened or closed to open or block the opening of the storage chamber body 101. The first end of each door plate 102 is formed with a notch recessed towards the second end. When the pair of door plates 102 blocks the opening of the storage chamber body 101, the notches of the pair of door plates 102 are closed to form a window 130 communicating with the inner cavity of the storage chamber body 101. In the embodiment, the storage body 100 comprises the storage chamber body 101 and the pair of movable door plates 102, and the notches of the pair of door plates 102 can be closed to form the window 130 for the mechanical arm 2000 to pass through. Thus, when the mechanical arm 2000 needs to extend into the storage chamber body 101, the pair of door plates 102 first opens the opening of the storage chamber body 101, then the mechanical arm 2000 extends into the storage chamber body 101 through the opening, and finally the pair of door plates 102 blocks the opening of the storage chamber body 101, so that the mechanical arm 2000 passes through the window 130 formed by the closed notches of the pair of door plates 102. Since the opening of the storage chamber body 101 is larger than the window 130, the difficulty of the mechanical arm 2000 extending into the storage body 100 is reduced.

[0068] Optionally, the functional storage 1000 further comprises at least one driving mechanism 140 for driving the pair of door plates 102 to open or close to open or block the opening of the storage chamber body 101. Figure 1 In an example of the embodiment, the second end of each door plate 102 is rotatably connected to the part of the storage chamber body 101 adjacent to the opening. The storage chamber body 101 is provided with one driving mechanism 140 on each side of the opening. Each driving mechanism 140 is connected to one door plate 102 and configured to drive the door plate 102 to rotate relative to the storage chamber body 101. Thus, each door plate 102 is independently driven by one driving mechanism 140 to open or block the opening of the storage chamber body 101. The driving mechanism 140 can be a driving cylinder.

[0069] In other embodiments of the present application, the pair of door plates 102 can also be driven by the same driving mechanism 140, or can be directly driven manually, which is not limited. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the storage body 100 can be directly provided with a window 130 on the side wall for the mechanical arm 2000 to pass through, so that the door plates 102 are not needed, and the overall structure of the storage body 100 is simplified.

[0070] Preferably, in one of the embodiments of the present application, the functional bin 1000 further comprises a sealing mechanism for sealing the window 130 when the mechanical arm 2000 is not arranged in the window 130, preventing external dust from entering the bin body 100 through the window 130 and preventing the materials in the bin body 100 from escaping to the outside through the window 130.

[0071] Optionally, in one of the embodiments, the sealing mechanism is arranged outside the bin body 100 and comprises a sealing plate and a first driving member connected to the sealing plate, the sealing plate being movably arranged on a side of a door plate 102 away from the inner cavity of the bin body 100, and the first driving member being fixedly arranged on the side of the door plate 102 away from the inner cavity of the bin body 100, the first driving member being used to drive the sealing plate to move to open or seal the window 130. In this embodiment, the sealing mechanism adopts the combination of the sealing plate and the first driving member, which is simple in structure, and the sealing mechanism arranged outside the bin body 100 is convenient for installation and maintenance.

[0072] Optionally, in another of the embodiments, the sealing mechanism is arranged in the inner cavity of the bin body 100 and comprises a rolling shutter door and a second driving member connected to the rolling shutter door, the rolling shutter door being movably arranged on the top wall of the bin body 100 adjacent to the opening, and the second driving member being fixedly arranged on the top wall of the bin body 100, the second driving member being used to drive the rolling shutter door to roll up or unroll to open or seal the window 130. In this embodiment, the sealing mechanism adopts the combination of the rolling shutter door and the second driving member, which is also simple in structure, and the sealing mechanism arranged in the bin body 100 can reduce the size of the space occupied by the functional bin 1000.

[0073] As mentioned above, in the embodiments of the present application, the dynamic sealing between the mechanical arm 2000 and the bin body 100 can be achieved by arranging the first elastic sealing member on the inner peripheral wall of the window 130 and / or the second elastic sealing member 210 on the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000, and utilizing the elastic sealing members to elastically deform when the mechanical arm 2000 is arranged in the window 130, thereby extruding the materials filled between the inner peripheral wall of the window 130 and the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000.

[0074] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5In one of the embodiments of the present application, the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 is provided with a first elastic sealing member, the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000 is provided with a first accommodating groove corresponding to the position of the first elastic sealing member, and at least part of the first elastic sealing member is accommodated in the first accommodating groove; and / or, the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000 is provided with a second elastic sealing member 210, the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 is provided with a second accommodating groove 132 corresponding to the position of the second elastic sealing member 210, and at least part of the second elastic sealing member 210 is accommodated in the second accommodating groove 132. It can be understood that, by accommodating the elastic sealing member in the corresponding accommodating groove, the contact area between the elastic sealing member and the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 can be increased, so that the sealing effect of the mechanical arm 2000 and the storage body 100 by the elastic sealing member can be improved. The first elastic sealing member and the second elastic sealing member 210 can be an inflatable air bag or a sealing ring made of elastic material.

[0075] Specifically, in the examples of Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000 is provided with the second elastic sealing member 210, the second elastic sealing member 210 is an inflatable air bag, the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 is provided with the second accommodating groove 132, the second elastic sealing member 210 is in extrusion contact with the inner circumferential wall of the window 130, and at least part of the second elastic sealing member 210 is extrusion accommodated in the second accommodating groove 132. In this embodiment, the second elastic sealing member 210 is a ring-shaped air bag with low cost, and by controlling the air source to inflate and deflate the ring-shaped air bag, dynamic sealing and unsealing between the mechanical arm 2000 and the storage body 100 can be achieved, which is simple and fast to operate.

[0076] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5In another embodiment of the present application, the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 is provided with a first air bag, the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000 is provided with a first convex pocket corresponding to the position of the first air bag, and the first air bag is elastically deformed after being inflated to press and cover the first convex pocket and fill the space between the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 and the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000, and the first air bag constitutes a first elastic sealing member; and / or, the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000 is provided with a second air bag, the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 is provided with a second convex pocket 131 corresponding to the position of the second air bag, and the second air bag is elastically deformed after being inflated to press and cover the second convex pocket 131 and fill the space between the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 and the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000, and the second air bag constitutes the second elastic sealing member 210. It is not difficult to understand that by configuring the elastic sealing member in the form of an air bag to cover the corresponding convex pocket, the contact area between the elastic sealing member and the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 can also be increased, thereby improving the sealing effect of the elastic sealing member between the mechanical arm 2000 and the bin body 100. As mentioned above, when the first elastic sealing member and the second elastic sealing member coexist, they can be complementarily arranged along the circumference of the window 130, that is, the first air bag and the second air bag are not annular air bags and cooperate to form an annular air bag after being inflated; when the first elastic sealing member and the second elastic sealing member coexist, they can also be arranged in the axial direction of the window 130, and each air bag is an annular air bag, which will not be described here.

[0077] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 In another embodiment of the present application, the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000 is provided with an annular air bag, which is elastically deformed after being inflated to press and fill the space between the inner circumferential wall of the window 130 and the outer circumferential wall of the mechanical arm 2000, and the annular air bag constitutes the second elastic sealing member 210. It is not difficult to understand that the second elastic sealing member 210 adopts an annular air bag, and by controlling the air source to inflate and deflate the annular air bag, dynamic sealing and unsealing between the mechanical arm 2000 and the window 130 can be achieved, which is simple and fast, and the manufacturing cost of the second elastic sealing member 210 is low.

[0078] Preferably, in the example of Figure 2 and Figure 7 , after the annular air bag (i.e. the second elastic sealing member 210) is inflated, the annular air bag abuts against the inner side surface of the part of the bin body 100 adjacent to the window 130, and / or the annular air bag abuts against the outer side surface of the part of the bin body 100 adjacent to the window 130. The abutment of the annular air bag against the inner side surface and / or the outer side surface of the part of the bin body 100 adjacent to the window 130 is equivalent to increasing the contact area between the annular air bag and the inner circumferential wall of the window 130, which is also conducive to improving the sealing effect of the annular air bag between the mechanical arm 2000 and the bin body 100.

[0079] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000 can be provided with a ring-tapered elastic sealing ring, and the outer diameter of the elastic sealing ring gradually increases from the end close to the window 130 to the end away from the window 130, and the elastic sealing ring constitutes the second elastic sealing member 210. In this way, when the elastic sealing ring is contacted with the outer side edge of the window 130 under the action of an external force, the elastic sealing ring can also achieve dynamic sealing between the mechanical arm 2000 and the cartridge body 100, and the ring-tapered elastic sealing ring can adapt to windows 130 of different sizes.

[0080] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, when the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000 is provided with the second elastic sealing member 210, the second elastic sealing member 210 can be bonded to the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000 by glue, so as to be directly sealed and sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000; or the second elastic sealing member 210 can be indirectly sealed and sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000 by using a transition connector.

[0081] Preferably, as shown in Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present application, the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000 (not shown in the figure) further comprises a skeleton 230, the skeleton 230 is used for sealing and sleeving the outer peripheral wall of the predetermined position of the mechanical arm 2000, and the inner contour of the skeleton 230 is matched with the outer contour of the predetermined position of the mechanical arm 2000. Among them, the predetermined position refers to at least part of the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000 opposite to the inner peripheral wall of the window 130 when the mechanical arm 2000 is arranged at the window 130, and the second elastic sealing member 210 is sealingly sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the skeleton 230, so that the second elastic sealing member 210 is sealingly sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000 through the skeleton 230. It can be understood that in this embodiment, whether the outer contour of the predetermined position of the mechanical arm 2000 is regular or irregular, as long as the inner contour of the skeleton 230 is adaptively designed, the second elastic sealing member 210 can be sealingly sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000 through the skeleton 230, that is, by arranging the skeleton 230 on the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000, the second elastic sealing member 210 can adapt to mechanical arms 2000 of different contour shapes; moreover, the outer contour of the skeleton 230 can be designed regularly, for example, designed as a cylindrical outer contour as shown in Figure 2 In this way, when the second elastic sealing member 210 is damaged, the second elastic sealing member 210 on the skeleton 230 can be quickly replaced by disassembling the skeleton 230.

[0082] The skeleton 230 can be fixedly sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000, and a sealing ring or a sealing gasket is arranged between the skeleton 230 and the mechanical arm 2000, so that the skeleton 230 and the mechanical arm 2000 are sealingly sleeved. Of course, the skeleton 230 can also be sealingly sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000 in other ways, as long as the skeleton 230 is detachably sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the mechanical arm 2000, and no limitation is made in this regard. Similarly, the second elastic sealing piece 210 can be bonded to the outer peripheral wall of the skeleton 230 by glue, so that the second elastic sealing piece 210 is sealingly sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the skeleton 230. When the second elastic sealing piece 210 is damaged, the skeleton 230 and the second elastic sealing piece 210 need to be replaced together; or the second elastic sealing piece 210 can also be detachably sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the skeleton 230 and be in contact with the outer peripheral wall of the skeleton 230 by elastic deformation, so that the second elastic sealing piece 210 is sealingly sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the skeleton 230. When the second elastic sealing piece 210 is damaged, only the second elastic sealing piece 210 needs to be replaced without replacing the skeleton 230, which is beneficial to improving efficiency and reducing cost.
