DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention.

[0021] Embodiment 1:

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a suction cup manipulator, comprising:

[0023] The device body 100 includes a clamping claw assembly 114 and a mounting frame 110. The bottom end of the mounting frame 110 is mounted with a mounting seat 111 through an adjustment assembly 400. The bottom end of the mounting seat 111 is mounted with an air suction frame 112 through a connecting assembly 300. The inside of the air suction frame 112 is a hollow component. The top of the air suction frame 112 is provided with an air inlet. The bottom end of the air suction frame 112 is fixedly mounted with a connected air suction pipe 113. The outer side of the air suction pipe 113 is provided with a buffer assembly 200.

[0024] The buffer assembly 200 includes a buffer sleeve 210, which is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the suction pipe 113. A compression spring 211 is fixedly installed on the top of the buffer sleeve 210. The top of the compression spring 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the suction frame 112. An abutment ring 212 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the bottom end of the buffer sleeve 210. A buffer ring 213 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the abutment ring 212. The material of the buffer ring 213 is rubber. The connecting assembly 300 includes a connecting frame 310. The connecting frame 310 is fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the suction frame 112. Screws 311 are threaded through the outer surface of the connecting frame 310. Threaded grooves matching the screws 311 are provided on both sides of the mounting seat 111. There is at least one connecting frame 310 on each side.

[0025] Working principle: When in use, the air inlet at the top of the suction frame 112 is connected to the negative pressure device through a pipe, and the negative pressure device works so that the bottom end of the suction pipe 113 is in a negative pressure state. The suction pipe 113 is aligned with the top of the workpiece to be grasped, and the adsorption force adsorbs the workpiece to the bottom end of the buffer sleeve 210. At this time, the inertia of the workpiece drives the buffer sleeve 210 to move upward, and the compression deformation of the compression spring 211 has a buffering effect. After buffering, the workpiece returns to stability, and the screw 311 is rotated so that the screw 311 is no longer connected to the threaded connection on the outside of the mounting seat 111, and the suction frame 112 and the mounting seat 111 can be separated, thereby facilitating maintenance.

[0026] Embodiment 2:

[0027] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the adjustment component 400 includes a motor bin 410, which is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting frame 110, and a driving motor 411 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the motor bin 410. A lead screw 412 is fixedly installed on the output end of the driving motor 411. The lead screw 412 movably passes through the motor bin 410 and the mounting frame 110 and extends to the inside of the mounting frame 110. The end of the lead screw 412 away from the driving motor 411 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 110 through a bearing. A moving seat 413 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting seat 111. The moving seat 413 is threadedly installed on the outside of the lead screw 412. The two sides of the moving seat 413 are in contact with the front and back sides of the inner wall of the mounting frame 110. The lead screw 412 is driven to rotate by the operation of the driving motor 411. At this time, the moving seat 413 moves left and right on the outside of the lead screw 412 to adjust the positions of the mounting seat 111 and the suction frame 112 at the bottom of the mounting frame 110.

[0028] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
