[0002] The vacuum suction cup device for sheet processing is a device used to fix and stabilize sheets or workpieces. It generates negative pressure to make the suction cup adhere to the surface of the sheet, thereby fixing the sheet and preventing it from moving or sliding during processing. The vacuum suction cup device usually consists of a suction cup, a vacuum pump, a control system and connecting pipes. The appropriate suction cup can be selected according to the shape and size of the sheet. This device is widely used in woodworking, metal processing, glass processing and other industries to improve processing efficiency and ensure processing quality.

[0003] The current vacuum suction cup device plays a vital role in sheet metal processing. It fixes the sheet metal by generating negative pressure to ensure stability and precision during the processing. However, the fixing point of the existing vacuum suction cup is often concentrated in the center of the sheet metal, and the position of the suction cup cannot be flexibly adjusted, which leads to some problems and limitations. First, when there is a protrusion or a through-hole in the processing center that needs to be processed, the fixing point of the vacuum suction cup cannot be located on the periphery of the sheet metal and cannot be effectively fixed. It is easy to move or shake, affecting the processing quality and efficiency. Secondly, the fact that the fixing point of the vacuum suction cup cannot be adjusted also limits its ability to adapt to sheets of different sizes. For sheets of different sizes, it cannot provide stable support and fixation, causing processing difficulties.

[0004] The patent with the publication number CN216179809U discloses a vacuum suction cup fixing structure for plate processing. The vacuum suction cup device of this structure uses the arrangement mode of cooperating the first sliding mechanism with the second sliding mechanism to realize the adjustment according to the size of the plate and the processing requirements. However, the position of the suction cup of the vacuum suction cup device of this structure can only be adjusted in the linear direction, which has certain limitations. In actual use, it still cannot effectively adapt to different plates. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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 in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] Example:

[0027] A vacuum suction cup device for plate processing, such as Figure 1 As shown, hereinafter referred to as the suction cup device, includes a mounting plate 2 and a suction cup claw 3, the mounting plate 2 is provided with an adjustment slot 4 and a mounting hole 5, the adjustment slot 4 and the mounting hole 5 are both connected with a suction cup claw 3; the suction cup claw 3 is used to adsorb on the plate.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the suction cup claw 3 includes a vertical cylinder 11, an intermediate connecting portion 10 and a plate body 9. A threaded portion 12 is provided on one side of the top of the vertical cylinder 11, and a clamping head 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded portion 12. A limit plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded portion 12 on the vertical cylinder 11. The clamping head 13 is used to lock the vertical cylinder 11 on the mounting plate 2. The plate body 9 is used for vacuum adsorption on the plate.

[0029] The intermediate connecting portion 10 is connected to the bottom of the vertical cylinder 11, and the intermediate connecting portion 10 intersects or is perpendicular to the axis of the vertical cylinder 11; the disk body 9 is connected to the side of the intermediate connecting portion 10 away from the vertical cylinder 11; the threaded portion 12 on the vertical cylinder 11 is movably arranged in the adjustment groove 4, and at the same time, when the clamping head 13 does not lock the vertical cylinder 11, the vertical cylinder 11 can slide and rotate in the adjustment groove 4, and in addition, the vertical cylinder 11 can also rotate in the mounting hole 5.

[0030] Specifically, when in use, the suction cup device is placed on the plate. Since the plate to be processed has openings or protrusions, it is necessary to adjust the position of the suction cup claw 3 to ensure that the suction cup claw 3 can be stably adsorbed on the plate. Specifically, first, loosen the clamping head 13 on the suction cup claw 3 in the mounting hole 5, rotate the suction cup claw 3 in the mounting hole 5 so that the disk body 9 on the suction cup claw 3 rotates around the axis of the vertical cylinder 11, and when the disk body 9 rotates to the flat area of ​​the plate, tighten the clamping head 13 to fix the vertical cylinder 11 and the mounting plate 2, that is, fix the position of the suction cup claw 3. Loosen the clamping head 13 on the suction cup claw 3 in the adjustment groove 4. At this time, the suction cup claw 3 in the adjustment groove 4 can rotate and move. First move the suction cup claw 3 so that the suction cup claw 3 moves to a relatively flat position, and then rotate the suction cup claw 3 so that the disk body 9 on the suction cup claw 3 is located above the flat part. Use the clamping head 13 to lock the position of the suction cup claw 3. As Figure 2 As shown, the vertical cylinder 11 and the middle connecting portion 10 form an L-shaped structure, so that during the rotation of the vertical cylinder 11, the position of the disc body 9 can be on a circle with the length of the middle connecting portion 10 as a radius, and at the same time, since the suction cup claw 3 in the adjustment groove 4 can move in the adjustment groove 4, that is, the position of the disc body 9 can be adjusted in the length direction of the adjustment groove 4, thereby expanding the adjustment range of the disc body 9. This design can adjust the position of the disc body 9 in a wider range, so that the disc body 9 can absorb plates of different sizes and different processing requirements.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 1 or Figure 4 As shown, the front and rear sides and the left and right sides of the mounting plate 2 are provided with adjustment grooves 4; the suction cup claws 3 are connected in the connection grooves on the front and rear sides and / or the connection grooves on the left and right sides. Normally, only two suction cup claws 3 need to be arranged in one adjustment groove 4. When the width of the plate is narrow, the suction cup claws 3 can be arranged in the adjustment grooves 4 on the left and right sides to facilitate the adsorption of narrower plates. When the plate is wider, the suction cup claws 3 are arranged in the adjustment grooves 4 on the front and rear sides to facilitate the adsorption of wider plates, and at the same time, the left and right positions of the suction cup claws 3 can be conveniently adjusted. When the plate is heavy, the suction cup claws 3 can be arranged in the adjustment grooves 4 on the left and right sides and the front and rear sides, and the number of suction cup claws 3 is increased to ensure that the plate can be stably adsorbed.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, a connecting plate 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 2. The connecting plate 1 is used to conveniently connect the sucker device as a whole to the outside world so as to fix the position of the sucker device, that is, to conveniently fix the position of the plate.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the top of the vertical tube 11 is connected with an air pipe joint 6. The air pipe joint 6 is connected to the disc body 9, and the air pipe joint 6 is used to connect the air extraction device and extract the air in the disc body 9 so that a negative pressure environment is formed in the disc body 9, so as to be adsorbed on the plate. Further optimized, a first airway is provided in the vertical tube 11, and a second airway is provided in the middle connecting part 10. The first airway is connected to the second airway.
