[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] A watch strap adsorption and transfer device, see Figures 2-6 The watch strap adsorption and transfer device includes a suction cup plate 10, multiple strap body suction nozzle units 20, strap end suction nozzle units 30, and a drive module. The strap body suction nozzle units 20 and strap end suction nozzle units 30 are horizontally and / or vertically adjustable on the suction cup plate 10. The suction cup plate 10 is connected to the drive module and its spatial movement is controlled by the drive module. The strap end suction nozzle unit 30 uses a single long slot-shaped suction nozzle or multiple circular suction nozzles arranged side by side to adsorb and pick up the wider end of the watch strap. The drive module includes multiple lifting drive modules 40, a drive adapter plate 50, and a multi-axis robotic arm 60. The lifting drive modules 40 are connected to the suction cup plate 10 and are used to drive the suction cup plate 10 for fine-tuning of its height. The tops or sides of the multiple lifting drive modules 40 are connected to the drive adapter plate 50, and the drive end of the multi-axis robotic arm 60 is connected to the drive adapter plate 50 for spatial transfer.

[0016] See Figure 3 For example, the suction tube height of the body suction unit 20 or the end suction unit 30 is automatically adjustable and mounted on the same suction cup plate 10, thereby making the initial suction height of the body suction unit 20 and the end suction unit 30 the same or different.

[0017] See Figure 4 For example, the suction nozzle unit 20 with body and the suction nozzle unit 30 with end are mounted on different suction cup plates 10, and the two suction cup plates 10 are driven to rise and fall to the same or different heights by different drive modules.

[0018] See Figure 5 The suction cup plate 10 includes a suction nozzle mounting part 11 and a transfer adapter part 12, and a suction nozzle mounting groove 13 is formed on the suction nozzle mounting part.

[0019] See Figure 6 Both the body-mounted suction nozzle unit 20 and the end-mounted suction nozzle unit 30 include a suction nozzle 1, a suction nozzle tube 2, and an air source connector 3.

[0020] Figure 6 A circular suction nozzle 1 is mounted on a suction tube 2, primarily used in the suction nozzle unit 20. (See also...) Figure 6 b. Multiple circular nozzles 1 are connected to a nozzle tube 2 of the end-suction unit 30; alternatively, a long slotted nozzle 1 can be connected, see [reference needed]. Figure 6 c.

[0021] Furthermore, to accommodate the automatic adjustment of the nozzle tube height, a nozzle lifting self-actuator 4 is also installed at the nozzle tube 2. This self-actuator can be any type, such as a piezoelectric actuator or an electromagnetic actuator.

[0022] Of course, it can also be adopted. Figure 4 In this configuration, the body-mounted suction nozzle unit 20 and the end-mounted suction nozzle unit 30 are mounted on different suction cup plates 10 and driven by an independent lifting drive module 40.

[0023] The purpose of independent drive to automatically adjust the nozzle height is primarily to adapt to... Figure 1 Picking up non-flat bands in b.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
