[0004] The utility model aims to address the deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a technical solution for an adjustable manipulator suction cup device for sucking up hard thermal insulation products, which can not only meet the needs of sucking and carrying hard thermal insulation products with flat plate structures, curved plate structures and semicircular pipe plates, but also does not require replacement of the structure of the suction cup device, and only requires adjustment of the length and angle position of the suction cup device. The use is flexible, convenient and quick, and at the same time, the suction cups in the entire suction cup device can be attached to the surface of the hard thermal insulation product, thereby preventing the hard thermal insulation product from falling off due to uneven force.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

Unused suction cup interfaces 15 are closed. This application preferably selects five suction cup interfaces 15, wherein the first, third and fifth suction cup interfaces 15 are installed with suction cups 14. In actual use, the number of suction cups 14 is selected according to the weight of the hard thermal insulation product.

[0038] The length adjustment mechanism 13 is distributed on the side of the beam 1 . In the present application, the length adjustment mechanism 13 is preferably symmetrically arranged on both sides of the beam 1 .

[0039] The length adjustment mechanism 13 includes a cantilever 6, a U-shaped block 10 and a telescopic rod 11. The cantilever 6 is fixed to the side of the beam 1. A telescopic groove is provided on the cantilever 6. The U-shaped block 10 is fixed to the telescopic rod 11. The telescopic rod 11 matches the telescopic groove. When the hard thermal insulation product of the flat plate structure is sucked, the telescopic rod 11 is completely retracted into the telescopic groove so that the U-shaped block 10 fits with the cantilever 6, ensuring that each suction cup 14 is located in the same vertical plane. When the hard thermal insulation product of the arc plate structure and the semicircular pipe plate is sucked, the telescopic rod 11 is extended along the telescopic groove to the required length and then fixed, so that the suction cups 14 are distributed in a circular shape and fit against the hard thermal insulation product, thereby improving the practicality and reliability of the suction cup device.

[0040] The cantilever 6 is evenly provided with first fixing holes 7, and the telescopic rod 11 is provided with a second fixing hole.

When the angle adjustment block 16 is rotated to the desired angle along the U-shaped block 10, the angle adjustment block 16 can be fixed by the first fastener 12, and then the suction cup 14 is driven to move to the desired length by the straight tube 17, and the second fastener is tightened to meet the absorption of hard insulation products of arc plate structure and semicircular pipe plate.

[0045] A guide strip 18 is provided on the outer surface of the straight tube 17, and a guide groove is provided on the angle adjustment block 16. The guide strip 18 matches the guide groove.

[0046] The telescopic rod 11, the guide bar 18 and the U-shaped block 10 are all provided with scales, which facilitate the adjustment of the suction cup 14 connected to the angle adjustment mechanism 13, improve the adjustment accuracy, and enable the suction cup 14 to fit the surface of the hard insulation product.

The screw rod 23 matches the threaded hole 20. The clamping block 22 moves along the guide hole 21. A nut is provided at the end of the screw rod 23. By turning the nut, the screw rod 23 drives the T-shaped block 24 to rotate, and the clamping block 22 is tightened or loosened under the action of the thread, thereby meeting the installation requirements of the straight pipe 17.

[0048] Suction cups 14 are provided on the crossbeam 1 and the angle adjustment mechanism 13. The air pressure in the suction cups 14 is controlled by the air inlet interface 4 and the air outlet interface 5 to achieve the suction of hard thermal insulation products. The above-mentioned structural design can not only meet the needs of suction and transportation of hard thermal insulation products with flat plate structure, arc plate structure and semicircular pipe plate, but also does not need to replace the structure of the suction cup device. The length and angle position of the suction cup device can be adjusted. It is flexible, convenient and fast to use. At the same time, the suction cups 14 in the entire suction cup device can be attached to the surface of the hard thermal insulation product to avoid the hard thermal insulation product from falling off due to uneven force.

[0049] When the utility model is actually used, the suction cup device is first installed on the manipulator through the lifting block, and then the suction cup device is adjusted according to the shape of the flat plate structure, the curved plate structure and the semicircular pipe plate. When the hard thermal insulation product is in the flat plate structure, the length adjustment mechanism is folded and fixed, and the angle adjustment mechanism is adjusted to vertical so that the suction cup on the angle adjustment mechanism is kept parallel to the suction cup on the crossbeam. When the hard thermal insulation product is in the curved plate structure or the semicircular pipe plate, the length adjustment mechanism is unfolded, and the angle is adjusted according to the radius of the curved plate structure or the semicircular pipe plate, and the distance of the straight pipe is adjusted at the same time so that the suction cup can fit the surface of the hard thermal insulation product. Finally, the air pressure of the suction cup is controlled through the air inlet interface and the air outlet interface to realize the suction of the hard thermal insulation product. When sucking, the external vacuum pump is connected, the compressed air is disconnected, and the suction is completed. When deflation, the connection of the vacuum pump is cut off, and compressed air is introduced to complete the lowering action.
