[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of suction cups in daily necessities, and in particular relates to a suction cup adapter and a suction cup placement mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Chinese patent CN205089778U discloses "a suction cup" which has a slot for hanging different hanging parts on the side of the hanging rod facing away from the wall. Chinese patent CN213940414U discloses "a rotatable positioning suction cup" which has a U-shaped slot at the end of the outrigger arm for clamping hooks or other items. When in use, the hook or other item is inserted into the above-mentioned slot or U-shaped slot from top to bottom. The contact area between the two is relatively small. In order to achieve the stability of the placement, other fulcrum structures need to be coordinated; in order to facilitate the insertion of hooks and other items, a groove needs to be formed on the outrigger arm so that it can slide into the slot or U-shaped slot along the groove. The structure is complex and the processing difficulty is increased. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a suction cup adapter device and a suction cup placement mechanism. The suction cup adapter device realizes rapid transfer between the suction cup and the placement unit, has a simple structure, is easy to process, and the transfer between the adapter device and the placement unit is stable.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problem is: a suction cup adapter, comprising:
[0005] A ring-shaped body that can be connected to a suction cup;
[0006] An extension arm integrally connected to the annular body;
[0007] The transition part has a base body integrally connected to the extension arm, and a wing part, the top of the base body has a supporting surface, the wing part is extended from the base body to both sides, and the thickness of the wing part is less than the thickness of the base body.
[0008] The utility model connects the adapter to the extension arm in an integral manner, and the extension arm is directly connected to the suction cup through the annular body, thereby simplifying the adapter structure between the suction cup and the storage unit; the adapter has a supporting surface and a wing portion, and a stable limit in the upper and lower vertical directions is formed between the supporting surface and the hanging groove of the storage unit, and a stable limit in the left and right and front and back directions is formed between the wing portion and the hanging groove of the storage unit, thereby ensuring a stable assembly connection between the suction cup and the storage unit, and the structure of the adapter is relatively simple and easy to process.
[0009] Furthermore, a protrusion is formed on one side of the extension arm away from the adapter, and the protrusion is flush with or close to the adsorption surface of the suction cup. The protrusion increases the thickness of the extension arm, and the protrusion cooperates with the adsorption surface to increase the contact area between the two and the vertical plane, thereby avoiding shaking due to the gap between the extension arm and the wall or other external environment, and the overall structure is stable, which is also beneficial to the adsorption of the suction cup.
[0010] Furthermore, the protrusion is located at the bottom end of the extension arm. The protrusion is located at the bottom end of the extension arm, and the distance between it and the adsorption surface is increased, so that it can form a more stable support with an external carrier such as a wall. Furthermore, the base is square, and its width is greater than the minimum width of the extension arm. The base can be set to a structure with a larger area, thereby increasing the contact area between it and the storage unit to ensure the stable assembly of the two.
[0011] Furthermore, the extension arm has a ridge on one side away from the adapter, at least part of which is in a flared cone shape from top to bottom, and the protrusion is formed by extending from the bottom end of the ridge in the thickness direction. This arrangement makes the contact area between the ridge and the base larger, and the connection and support structure between the two are more stable.
[0012] Furthermore, the base is square, and its width is roughly equal to the width of the extension arm. The width of the base is equivalent to the extension arm, which can adapt to smaller hooks and other storage units, reduce the overall volume, and be more convenient to use.
[0013] Furthermore, the wing portion extends in the entire height direction of the base body, and the matching area between the wing portion and the hanging groove is large enough to make the connection between the suction cup and the storage unit more stable.
[0014] The utility model also discloses a suction cup placement mechanism, comprising a suction cup and a placement unit, and also comprising a transfer device, wherein the transfer device comprises an annular body that can be connected to the suction cup, an extension arm integrally connected to the annular body, and a transfer portion, wherein the transfer portion comprises a base integrally connected to the extension arm, and a wing portion, wherein the top of the base has a supporting surface, the wing portion is formed by extending from the base to both sides, and the thickness of the wing portion is less than the thickness of the base; the placement unit comprises a hanging groove for at least a portion of the transfer portion to extend from bottom to top and form a limiting fit, and the supporting surface can be abutted against the top surface of the hanging groove.
[0015] The utility model changes the existing structure in which the storage unit is hung in the slot of the extension arm, and realizes the assembly connection between the suction cup and the storage unit by using the storage unit cover arranged on the outer side of the adapter part. The adapter part can be set to structures of different sizes, thereby increasing the contact area between the adapter part and the storage unit, and further increasing the stability of the assembly of the two. The structure of the adapter part and the hanging slot also simplifies the matching structure of the two, reduces the processing difficulty, and is easy to process and manufacture.
[0016] Furthermore, the hanging groove is in a U-shape with its opening facing downwards and at least one side is open. The structural design of the hanging groove facilitates the insertion of the base of the adapter and ensures stable positioning in all directions between the hanging groove and the adapter.
[0017] The utility model has the following beneficial effects: the adapter is integrally connected to the extension arm, and the extension arm is directly connected to the suction cup through the annular body, which simplifies the adapter structure between the suction cup and the storage unit; the adapter has a supporting surface and a wing, and a stable limit is formed between the supporting surface and the hanging groove of the storage unit in the vertical direction, and a stable limit is formed between the wing and the hanging groove of the storage unit in the left and right and front and back directions, which ensures the stable assembly connection between the suction cup and the storage unit, and the structure of the adapter is relatively simple and easy to process; the protrusion increases the thickness of the extension arm, and the protrusion cooperates with the adsorption surface to increase the contact area between the two and the vertical plane, avoiding shaking due to the gap between the extension arm and the wall and other external environments, and the overall structure is stable, which is also beneficial to the adsorption of the suction cup; the existing structure in which the storage unit is hung in the slot of the extension arm is changed, and the assembly connection between the suction cup and the storage unit is realized by using the storage unit cover arranged on the outside of the adapter, and the adapter can be set to a structure of different sizes, thereby increasing the contact area between the adapter and the storage unit, and then increasing the stability of the assembly of the two.

[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0030] Embodiment 1
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, a suction cup adapter device includes an annular body 31 that can be connected to the suction cup 1, an extension arm 32 integrally connected to the annular body 31, and an adapter 33. The adapter 33 has a base 331 integrally connected to the extension arm 32, and a wing 332, the wing 332 is formed by extending from both sides of the base 331 to both sides, and the thickness of the wing 332 is less than the thickness of the base 331, and the top of the base 331 has a supporting surface 333.
[0032] Here, the base 331 is integrally connected to the extension arm 32. The two can be directly integrally connected or indirectly integrally connected, that is, there is a connecting plate structure between the base 331 and the extension arm 32, and there is no specific limitation.
[0033] In this embodiment, the base 331 is square. In order to reduce the weight of the base 331 and facilitate processing, the base 331 can be set to a thinner structure. The wing 332 is located on the two side surfaces of the base 331 away from the suction surface 11 of the suction cup 1 and protrudes outward. Of course, the wing 332 is not necessarily set at the end of the two side surfaces of the base 331, and can also be in the middle position in the thickness direction, without specific limitation. In this embodiment, the wing 332 extends the entire height direction of the base 331. Of course, in other embodiments, the wing 332 can also extend part of the height of the base 331, without specific limitation.
[0034] The width of the base 331 is greater than the minimum width of the extension arm 32. Figure 2 As shown, the side of the extension arm 32 away from the adapter portion 33 has a ridge 322, the upper parts of the ridges 33 are parallel to each other, and the lower parts of the ridges 33 are parallel to each other from top to bottom (in the form of Figure 2 In other words, the top width of the lower body of the ridge 33 is consistent with the width of the upper body, and the bottom width is consistent with the width of the base 331, so that the contact area between the ridge 33 and the base 331 is larger, and the connection and support structure between the two are more stable.
[0035] A protrusion 321 is formed on one side of the extension arm 32 away from the adapter 33, and the protrusion 321 is flush with or close to the adsorption surface 11 of the suction cup 1. The protrusion 321 increases the thickness of the extension arm 32, and is arranged at the bottom of the extension arm 32. The protrusion 321 cooperates with the adsorption surface 11 to increase the area of contact with the vertical plane, thereby avoiding shaking due to the gap between the extension arm 32 and the wall or other external environment. The overall structure is stable, which is also beneficial to the adsorption of the suction cup 1.
[0036] In this embodiment, the protrusion 321 is formed by extending from the bottom end of the lower body of the rib 322 along the thickness direction.
[0037] A suction cup storage mechanism includes a suction cup 1, a storage unit 2, and a transfer device 3. The transfer device 3 is the above-mentioned structure and will not be described in detail. The storage unit 2 can be any existing storage rack, storage basket, etc. Figure 4 As shown, a hanging groove 21 is provided on the back of the storage unit 2 for at least a portion of the adapter portion 33 to extend from bottom to top and form a limiting fit.
[0038] Specifically, the hanging groove 21 is in a U-shape with its opening facing downward, and at least one side thereof is open, specifically, it is open toward the side of the adapter portion 33. More specifically, as Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the hanging groove 21 includes a top wall and two side walls 211 . The cross section of the side wall 211 is in a 7-shape, and the openings of the two side walls 211 are arranged to face each other.
[0039] When the adapter portion 33 is inserted from the bottom opening of the hanging groove 21 from bottom to top until the supporting surface 333 at the top of the base 331 abuts against the top wall end surface of the hanging groove 21, the adapter portion 33 and the hanging groove 21 form a limit in the upper and lower vertical directions; at this time, the base 331 is clamped on the open side of the hanging groove 21, and the wings 332 on both sides of the base 331 are clamped between the side wall of the hanging groove 21 and the back of the storage unit 2, that is, the adapter portion 33 and the hanging groove 21 form a limit in the left and right horizontal direction and a limit in the front and back direction, thereby realizing a stable installation between the adapter device 3 and the storage unit 2.
[0040] When in use, the suction cup 1 is adsorbed on an external carrier such as a wall, and the protrusion 321 abuts against the external carrier, thereby avoiding a gap between the suction cup 1 and the external carrier. The bottom opening of the hanging groove 21 on the back of the storage unit 2 faces the adapter 33, so that the two side walls 211 of the hanging groove 21 are sleeved on the outside of the wing 332 from top to bottom, until the top wall end surface of the hanging groove 21 abuts against the supporting surface 333 at the top of the base 331, completing the assembly of the two. Of course, the assembly between the adapter 33 and the storage unit 2 can also be completed first. It is also possible that the wing 332 of the adapter 33 is inserted from bottom to top between the two side walls 211 of the hanging groove 21, and there is no specific limitation.
[0041] Embodiment 2
[0042] like Figure 8-Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 331 is in a direction, and its width is substantially equal to the width of the extension arm 32.
[0043] The other structures are the same as those in the first embodiment and will not be described in detail.
[0044] The above specific implementation modes are used to explain the present invention rather than to limit the present invention. Any modification and change made to the present invention within the spirit of the present invention and the protection scope of the claims shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
