Specific embodiments

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: A suction cup for automatic PCB drilling target, including a suction cup assembly, including a suction cup body 11 connected to an external inflation pipeline and a suction nozzle 12 connected to the bottom of the suction cup body 11. The principle of the suction cup body 11 and the suction nozzle 12 for adsorbing the PCB board B is a conventional technology, and this application will not be described in detail; an adjustment mechanism, including a first connecting plate 21 installed at the bottom end on the suction cup body 11, a lifting cylinder 22 installed at the top end on the first connecting plate 21, a connecting box 31 connected to the bottom end of the lifting cylinder 22, an adjusting cylinder 32 installed on the opposite surfaces of the connecting box 31, and a second connecting plate 33 connected to the other end of the adjusting cylinder 32. The first connecting plate 21 is combined with the suction cup body 11 and the lifting cylinder 22 by conventional methods. The adjusting cylinder 32 runs along the b direction and changes to an extended state, so that the second connecting plate 33 moves along the A direction. The lifting cylinder 22 runs in the reverse direction along the a direction and changes to a shortened state, which can move the shielding frame 4 upward and expose the suction nozzle 12, without affecting the suction nozzle 12 to adsorb the PCB board B. On the contrary, the lifting cylinder 22 runs along the a direction and moves the shielding frame 4 downward. The adjusting cylinder 32 runs in the reverse direction along the b direction, so that the draw plate 41 slides in the reverse direction along the A direction, and the draw plate 41 covers the suction nozzle 12, which can prevent grease-like substances or dust from contacting the suction nozzle 12; a shielding frame 4 sleeved outside the suction cup body 11, and a draw plate 41 slidably connected to the shielding frame 4 and connected to the second connecting plate 33. The shielding frame 4 and the draw plate 41 prevent grease-like substances or dust from contacting the suction nozzle 12.

[0028] In this embodiment, the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 33 are in an "L" shape. The lifting air cylinder 22 is perpendicular to the adjusting air cylinder 32. The connecting box 31 is connected to the side surface of the shielding frame 4, and the connecting box 31 and the shielding frame 4 move up and down in the same direction.

[0029] In this embodiment, a limiting bent plate 43 with a frame structure is provided on the inner side wall of the shielding frame 4. The cross-section of the limiting bent plate 43 is in a curved shape. An air inlet nozzle 42 penetrates through the outer surface of the shielding frame 4. An airbag 44 is provided between the shielding frame 4 and the limiting bent plate 43. The air inlet nozzle 42 is communicated with the airbag 44. An external conventional inflation device, such as an air pump, is connected to the air inlet nozzle 42 to inflate the airbag 44 to make it expand. The airbag 44 is closely attached to the outer surface of the suction cup main body 11, so as to shield the gap between the top end of the shielding frame 4 and the suction cup main body 11 and prevent dust and impurities from entering.

[0030] In this embodiment, the distance between the draw plate 41 and the suction nozzle 12 is 1 cm. At this time, the draw plate 41 covers the opposing suction nozzle 12, which can prevent grease substances or dust from contacting the suction nozzle 12.

[0031] In summary: The lifting air cylinder 22 moves the shielding frame 4 upward. Then, the adjusting air cylinder 32 makes the second connecting plate 33 slide in the reverse direction of the b direction, and the draw plate 41 slides in the reverse direction of the A direction. The draw plate 41 covers the suction nozzle 12, which can prevent grease substances or dust from contacting the suction nozzle 12.

[0032] Embodiment 2

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model. Based on the previous embodiment, in order to enhance the protection effect, a protection component is provided on the bottom surface of the suction cup main body 11. The protection component includes a stabilizing frame 51 installed on the suction cup main body 11, a spring plate 52 with its top end connected to the stabilizing frame 51, a connecting frame 54 connected to the bottom end of the spring plate 52, and a protection pad frame 53 installed on the outside of the connecting frame 54. The distance between the protection pad frame 53 and the suction nozzle 12 is 2 mm. The protection pad frame 53 is made of a soft rubber material, and the spring plate 52 is made of spring steel material. When the suction nozzle 12 adsorbs the PCB board B, the protection pad frame 53 first contacts the PCB board B, avoiding the rigid collision between the suction nozzle 12 and the PCB board B. The movement of the protection pad frame 53 and the deformation of the spring plate 52 do not affect the adsorption of the PCB board B by the suction nozzle 12. The elastic force of the spring plate 52 is much smaller than the adsorption force of the suction nozzle 12 and will not loosen the PCB board B.

[0034] In this embodiment, the stabilizing frame 51, the connecting frame 54 and the protective pad frame 53 are border structures. The elastic plate 52 is in a bent shape. A bent horizontal plate is provided at the top end where the elastic plate 52 is connected to the stabilizing frame 51. A concave frame groove is formed on the outer surface of the connecting frame 54. The cross-section of the protective pad frame 53 is an "L" - shaped structure. A protrusion 531 that fits into the frame groove is provided on the protective pad frame 53. The protective pad frame 53 and the connecting frame 54 are of a split structure, which is convenient for replacing the protective pad frame 53.

[0035] In summary, when the nozzle 12 adsorbs the PCB board B, the protective pad frame 53 contacts the PCB board B first, avoiding the rigid collision between the nozzle 12 and the PCB board B. The movement of the protective pad frame 53 and the deformation of the elastic plate 52 do not affect the adsorption of the PCB board B by the nozzle 12. The elastic force of the elastic plate 52 is much smaller than the adsorption force of the nozzle 12 and will not loosen the PCB board B.

[0036] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
