Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the construction or decoration industry, it is necessary to frequently carry building materials such as tiles, rock slabs, marble, stone, steel plates, glass, formwork, gypsum boards, cement boards, etc.; traditional handling methods often rely on manual handling, which is not only inefficient, but also has safety hazards. Therefore, efficient, safe, and low-consumption handling tools play a vital role in improving work efficiency, ensuring work safety, and extending equipment life. Vacuum suction cups are widely used as a new type of handling tool. Vacuum suction cups include manual suction cups and electric suction cups:

[0003] Manual suction cups require manual pressing for adsorption, which is inconvenient to operate. At the same time, when the pressing force is not enough, the suction force generated by the suction cup is insufficient, making it impossible to adsorb the building materials well. Therefore, it is easy to fall during transportation, resulting in damage to the building materials, and there are safety hazards;

[0004] Most electric suction cups use a channel opened on the suction cup body to achieve the functions of adsorption and release at the same time. This structural setting requires frequent switching of working states, which reduces work efficiency and response speed, and may be subject to certain limitations in the accuracy of controlling adsorption and release. In order to achieve adsorption and release through a single channel, it may be necessary to add additional control mechanisms or complex mechanical structures, which makes the structural setting complicated and increases costs.
