Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrode frame carriers, in particular to a suction cup module and an electrode frame component transporting device. Background Art

[0002] In the electrode frame assembly process, the parts required for assembling the electrode frame need to be transported to the corresponding workstations for assembly with the help of loading and unloading devices. As one of the core components of the loading and unloading device, the suction cup module has a load-bearing function that is proportional to its frequency of use. Therefore, the service life of the suction cup module is relatively short compared to that of other components, and the maintenance frequency is also correspondingly high.

[0003] The suction cup module is usually composed of multiple unit suction cups, that is, multiple regularly arranged unit suction cups together constitute a vacuum suction cup. As mentioned above, due to the high frequency of use of the suction cup module, the maintenance frequency is also correspondingly high. In the prior art, the unit suction cups are attached to the vacuum suction cup frame through their respective mounting components. When the suction cup module needs to be replaced, each suction cup unit needs to be disassembled and installed in turn. This process is very cumbersome and requires high time and labor costs. In addition, a vacuum suction cup is usually composed of multiple individual suction cup units. When a suction cup fails, it is often difficult to determine which individual suction cup unit has failed. This brings great difficulties to the inspection and troubleshooting of the suction cup.

[0032] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0033] In the present invention, unless otherwise stated, the directional words such as "upper" and "lower" usually refer to the orientation in the assembled state. "Inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the utility model and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so as to describe the embodiments of the utility model described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0035] The first aspect of the utility model provides a suction cup module, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the suction cup module includes a supporting frame 10, a suction cup group, a clearance hole 11 and a connecting structure.

[0036] The suction cup group includes a linear mounting plate 20 arranged below and parallel to the support frame 10, reserved suction cup mounting holes spaced along the track of the linear mounting plate 20, and a unit suction cup that can be installed at the reserved suction cup mounting holes. A clearance hole 11 is arranged on the support frame 10 and aligned with the reserved suction cup mounting hole. A connecting structure is used to connect the support frame 10 and the linear mounting plate 20. The support frame 10 and the linear mounting plate 20 are fixed and disassembled based on the connecting structure.

[0037] When a suction cup group or an unknown unit suction cup in the suction cup group fails, the entire suction cup can be replaced by disassembling the connection structure, ensuring the continuity of the equipment's production operations. Modular installation and disassembly simplifies the suction cup maintenance process, reduces time and labor costs, and ensures the continuity of production operations.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the connection structure includes a U-shaped elastic clip. The U-shaped elastic clip has an open end and a closed end, and has a clamping space inside and a limiting protrusion 42 on the inner wall. The end surfaces of the support frame 10 and the linear mounting plate 20 that contact the U-shaped elastic clip are provided with limiting grooves that are compatible with the limiting protrusion 42.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, when the U-shaped elastic clip is installed on the support frame 10 and the linear mounting plate 20 , the limiting protrusion 42 can just be embedded in the limiting groove and the U-shaped elastic clip has a tendency to clamp the support frame 10 and the linear mounting plate 20 .

[0040] Furthermore, the end of the opening is directed in the opposite direction of the clamping direction of the U-shaped elastic clip to form a warping structure 43. The purpose of this arrangement is to facilitate the operator to break the opening when disassembling the clip, thereby facilitating the installation and disassembly of the clip and further facilitating the installation and disassembly of the suction cup assembly.

[0041] In a preferred specific embodiment, the limiting protrusion 42 and the limiting groove are both tooth-shaped structures. Compared with the curved surface structure, the tooth-shaped structure can improve the grip of the buckle and prevent the buckle from falling off. Furthermore, the "inner wall of the buckle" and the "end surface of the support frame 10 and the linear mounting plate 20 in contact with the U-shaped elastic buckle" can be roughened or a plurality of limiting protrusions 42 and limiting grooves adapted to the limiting protrusions 42 can be provided to further increase the friction between the buckle and the support frame 10 and the linear mounting plate 20.

[0042] The installation position of the U-shaped elastic clip is defined as a "clamping point" in this article. The clamping points are distributed along the periphery of the support frame 10 at intervals. The staff can select the appropriate number and distribution of the clamping points according to the actual situation. In short, the number and distribution of the clamping points are sufficient to fix the support frame 10 and the linear mounting plate 20.

[0043] The unit suction cup includes a suction cup body 30 and a nut 30a. The suction cup body 30 can be inserted into the suction cup reserved installation hole and the clearance hole 11 at the same time. The suction cup body 30 is not in contact with or slidably connected to the clearance hole 11, that is, the clearance hole 11 is large enough to accommodate the suction cup body 30, or the clearance hole 11 can just accommodate the clearance hole 11 and the two are in contact, but the clearance hole 11 cannot hinder the suction cup body 30 from extending in and out. The purpose of this arrangement is to facilitate the disassembly of the suction cup assembly.

[0044] From the perspective of achieving quick disassembly and assembly of the suction cup assembly, it is only necessary to fix the suction cup body 30 and the linear mounting plate 20. However, considering that after the linear mounting plate 20 and the unit suction cup are removed from the support frame 10, the maintenance personnel need to check one by one which unit suction cup has a fault. After the faulty unit suction cup is found, the suction cup needs to be removed from the linear mounting plate 20 for maintenance. Therefore, the nut 30a is set to be threadedly connected to the suction cup body 30 and located on the upper and lower sides of the linear mounting plate 20, and the suction cup body 30 is fixed to the linear mounting plate 20 in this detachable manner. It should be emphasized that the suction cup body 30 and the support frame 10 still maintain a non-contact or sliding connection.

[0045] In addition, in a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, the edge of the linear mounting plate 20 is aligned with the edge of the support frame 10. The reason for such arrangement is that the U-shaped elastic clip can be more closely matched with the edge of the linear mounting plate 20 and the edge of the support frame 10, and the contact area between the U-shaped elastic clip and the edge of the linear mounting plate 20 and the edge of the support frame 10 is increased. On the one hand, it is convenient to install the U-shaped elastic clip, and on the other hand, it can improve the firmness.

[0046] The second aspect of the present invention provides an electrode frame member transport device. Figure 1 As shown, the electrode frame member conveying device includes a longitudinal slide rail 50, a first slide seat 60, a first driving unit 70, a transverse slide rail 80 and a second driving unit.

[0047] The first slide seat 60 is slidably connected to the longitudinal slide rail 50, and the first driving unit 70 is used to drive the slide seat 60 to move back and forth along the track of the longitudinal slide rail 50 to achieve the movement of the suction cup module in the vertical direction. The longitudinal slide rail (50) is slidably connected to the transverse slide rail (80), and the second driving unit is used to drive the longitudinal slide rail 50 to move to achieve the movement of the suction cup module in the horizontal direction.

[0048] Wherein, the suction cup module, the suction cup group faces downward, that is, the unit suction cups all face downward.

[0049] The electrode frame member handling device using the suction cup module can realize modular installation and disassembly of the suction cup, simplify the maintenance process of the suction cup, and reduce time and labor costs.

[0050] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention can be subjected to a variety of simple modifications, and these simple modifications all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0051] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0052] In addition, various embodiments of the present invention may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present invention, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present invention.
