Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of machining technology, specifically to a process for creating a perforated wire groove with an integrated vacuum system and a suction cup gripper. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing and production of perforated wire troughs, stamping and material handling are key processes, and their efficiency and precision directly affect product quality and production costs.

[0003] Currently, after the wire groove is stamped, it is mostly handled manually or by rigid mechanical grippers. For wire grooves with smooth surfaces and irregular shapes, traditional grippers are difficult to hold stably, which can easily cause the workpiece to slip or scratch the surface. In addition, manual operation is labor-intensive and inefficient, which cannot meet the needs of automated production lines. Furthermore, most existing vacuum adsorption devices are only equipped with a single vacuum cylinder, which can easily lead to adsorption failure due to large fluctuations in vacuum during adsorption, resulting in certain inconveniences. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a process for a perforated wire groove with an integrated vacuum system and a suction cup gripper, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A process for a perforated wire groove with an integrated vacuum system and a suction cup gripper includes a stamping mechanism, which includes a mounting frame. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the mounting frame, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. A mounting block is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block. A suction cup gripper mechanism includes a support frame, and a first motor is fixedly connected inside the support frame. One end of the first motor shaft is fixedly connected to the mounting frame. A vacuum system includes a vacuum tank, with a pressure gauge on the front and a connecting pipe on one side.

[0006] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: the stamping mechanism further includes a male mold, the top of the male mold is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting block, and a female mold is fixedly connected below the male mold and on the surface of the mounting frame.

[0007] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that the suction cup gripper mechanism further includes a cylinder, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the mounting frame.

[0008] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: an electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder, a second motor is fixedly connected to one end of the electric telescopic rod, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the shaft of the second motor.

[0009] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: one end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to one end of the electric telescopic rod, and an installation component is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the second motor, and a suction cup is fixedly connected inside the installation component.

[0010] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that the vacuum system further includes a vacuum pump, and the pump port of the vacuum pump is connected to one end of the connecting pipe.

[0011] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the vacuum tank, a connecting branch pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum tank, and one end of the connecting branch pipe is connected to a connecting main pipe.

[0012] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: an air extraction pipe is provided on the surface of the main connecting pipe, one end of the air extraction pipe is connected to a vacuum connecting pipe, and one end of the vacuum connecting pipe is connected to the interior of the suction cup.

[0013] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technical progress achieved by this invention compared to the prior art is as follows: This invention provides a process for manufacturing mesh wire troughs with an integrated vacuum system and a suction cup gripper. The suction cup gripper mechanism features a first motor driving a mounting bracket to rotate, enabling horizontal rotation of the gripper. A cylinder, in conjunction with an electric telescopic rod, adjusts the vertical height and telescopic distance of the suction cup. A second motor, via a connecting rod, tilts or flips the suction cup to adapt to different gripping angles. The suction cup is fixed by mounting components, allowing for quick replacement of different specifications and compatibility with various sizes of mesh wire troughs, solving the adaptability issues of traditional grippers. Simultaneously, the vacuum system incorporates multiple vacuum tanks connected via a main pipe, increasing suction force and improving the stability of the vacuum system, making it easier to use.

[0016] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments: Example

[0017] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a process for a mesh wire groove with an integrated vacuum system and a suction cup gripper, comprising a stamping mechanism, the stamping mechanism including a mounting frame 11, a hydraulic cylinder 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the mounting frame 11, a connecting block 13 fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 12, and a mounting block 14 fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 13; a suction cup gripper mechanism, the suction cup gripper mechanism including a support frame 21, a first motor 22 fixedly connected inside the support frame 21, and a mounting frame 23 fixedly connected to one end of the shaft of the first motor 22; and a vacuum system, the vacuum system including a vacuum tank 31, a pressure gauge 32 provided on the front of the vacuum tank 31, and a connecting pipe 34 provided on one side of the vacuum tank 31.

[0018] In this embodiment, power is provided by a hydraulic cylinder 12 fixed at the bottom of the mounting frame 11. Its output end connecting block 13 is rigidly connected to the mounting block 14, driving the male mold 15 to rise and fall vertically. The sheet material to be processed is placed on the surface of the female mold 16 fixed on the mounting frame. When the hydraulic cylinder piston moves upward, the male mold rises and resets with the connecting block; when it moves downward, the male mold and female mold close, applying a preset pressure to the sheet material, forming a mesh groove within the mold groove. A suction cup gripper mechanism is responsible for gripping and transferring the workpiece. The first motor 22 within its support frame 21 drives the mounting frame 23 to rotate horizontally. After aligning with the formed workpiece on the female mold, the cylinder 24 inside the mounting frame pushes, causing the second motor 26, connecting rod 27, and suction cup 29 at the end to approach the workpiece. The second motor drives the suction cup to swing via the connecting rod, ensuring that the suction cup surface is completely in contact with the workpiece. The vacuum system draws air from the vacuum pump 33 into the vacuum tank 31 via the connecting pipe 34. The vacuum level inside the tank is monitored in real time by the pressure gauge 32, and the air is delivered to the suction cup cavity through the top connecting branch pipe 36, the main connecting pipe 37, the extraction pipe 38, and the vacuum connecting pipe 39. When the suction cup is in contact with the workpiece surface, the vacuum system is activated, and a negative pressure is formed inside the suction cup to stably grip the workpiece. The cylinder lifts the gripper mechanism, and the first motor rotates and moves the workpiece to the target position. During this process, the second motor can adjust the workpiece posture via the connecting rod. After reaching the designated position, the vacuum system is turned off, and atmospheric pressure air is introduced into the suction cup to release the workpiece. Example

[0019] like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: Preferably, the stamping mechanism includes a mounting frame 11, a hydraulic cylinder 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the mounting frame 11, a connecting block 13 fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 12, and a mounting block 14 fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 13; a suction cup gripper mechanism, which includes a support frame 21, a first motor 22 fixedly connected inside the support frame 21, and a mounting frame 23 fixedly connected to one end of the shaft of the first motor 22; a vacuum system, which includes a vacuum tank 31, a pressure gauge 32 provided on the front of the vacuum tank 31, and a connecting pipe 34 provided on one side of the vacuum tank 31; the stamping mechanism also includes... The system includes a male mold 15, the top of which is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting block 14. A female mold 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting frame 11 below the male mold 15.

An electric telescopic rod 25 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 24. A second motor 26 is fixedly connected to one end of the electric telescopic rod 25. A connecting rod 27 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the shaft of the second motor 26. One end of the connecting rod 27 is rotatably connected to one end of the electric telescopic rod 25. An installation component 28 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 27 away from the second motor 26. A suction cup 29 is fixedly connected inside the installation component 28.

[0020] In this embodiment, a second motor drives the suction cup to swing via a connecting rod, ensuring complete contact between the suction cup surface and the workpiece. The vacuum system draws air from the vacuum pump 33 into the vacuum tank 31 via the connecting pipe 34. The vacuum level inside the tank is monitored in real time by a pressure gauge 32, and the air is delivered to the suction cup cavity via a top connecting branch pipe 36, a connecting main pipe 37, an extraction pipe 38, and a vacuum connecting pipe 39. When the suction cup contacts the workpiece surface, the vacuum system activates, creating a negative pressure inside the suction cup to stably grip the workpiece. A cylinder lifts the gripper mechanism, and the first motor rotates to move the workpiece to the target position. During this process, the second motor can adjust the workpiece posture via a connecting rod. Once the workpiece reaches the designated position, the vacuum system is shut off, and atmospheric pressure air is introduced into the suction cup to release it. Example

A suction pipe 38 is provided on the surface of the connecting main pipe 37. One end of the suction pipe 38 is connected to a vacuum connecting pipe 39. One end of the vacuum connecting pipe 39 is connected to the inside of the suction cup 29.

[0022] In this embodiment, a second motor drives the suction cup to swing via a connecting rod, ensuring complete contact between the suction cup surface and the workpiece.

The vacuum level inside the tank is monitored in real time by a pressure gauge 32, and the air is delivered to the suction cup cavity via a top connecting branch pipe 36, a connecting main pipe 37, an extraction pipe 38, and a vacuum connecting pipe 39. When the suction cup contacts the workpiece surface, the vacuum system activates, creating a negative pressure inside the suction cup to stably grip the workpiece. A cylinder lifts the gripper mechanism, and the first motor rotates to move the workpiece to the target position. During this process, the second motor can adjust the workpiece posture via a connecting rod. Once the workpiece reaches the designated position, the vacuum system is shut off, and atmospheric pressure air is introduced into the suction cup to release it.
