Detailed Embodiments

[0024] The principles and features of the present utility model are described below with reference to the drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0025] As Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, the composite vacuum suction device includes a main body 01. An air inlet end cover 02 and an exhaust end cover 03 are respectively provided at both ends of the main body 01. The main body 01 has an inner cavity 11. A vacuum generating mechanism is arranged in the inner cavity 11. The air inlet end of the vacuum generating mechanism is communicated with the air inlet 21 on the air inlet end cover 02, and the exhaust end of the vacuum generating mechanism is communicated with the exhaust port on the exhaust end cover 03 through an extension pipe. A T-shaped installation groove 12 is formed on the upper end surface of the main body 01. A plurality of block-shaped suction cup groups 04 are arranged on the lower end surface of the main body 01. The suction cup group 04 includes a suction cup 41 seat and a plurality of suction cups 41 arranged in a dot matrix on the suction cup 41 seat. The suction cups 41 are communicated with the inner cavity 11 through the suction cup 41 seat and the air guide groove formed on the lower end surface of the main body 01;

[0026] The suction cup 41 seat includes an upper cover plate 42 and a lower cover plate 43. The upper cover plate 42 and the lower cover plate 43 form a cavity to provide space for the check float to work. The suction cup 41 is arranged on the lower end surface of the lower cover plate 43. A through hole in the middle of the suction cup 41 forms a groove on the upper end surface of the lower cover plate 43. A check float is arranged in the groove. The upper cover plate 42 has an air hole corresponding to the groove.

[0027] In another embodiment of the present invention, an I-shaped installation block 05 is arranged in the installation groove 12. The installation block 05 has a movable space in the installation groove 12 and is arranged in the installation groove 12 and connected to the mechanical wall. When handling a workpiece, a certain angle compensation will be formed when initially contacting the workpiece, which can prevent the suction cup group 04 from hard landing and damaging the workpiece, and at the same time make the angle more fitting to the workpiece.

[0028] In another embodiment of the present invention, a sealing protrusion 44 is arranged on the lower end surface of the upper cover plate 42 corresponding to the groove, that is, the sealing protrusion 44 is arranged on the lower end surface of the air hole. After the upper cover plate 42 and the lower cover plate 43 are buckled, the sealing protrusion 44 is arranged in the groove and does not affect the movement of the check float, which can increase the airtightness and reduce the leakage of vacuum flow.

[0029] In another embodiment of the present invention, a plum blossom groove 45 is arranged on the inner wall of the suction cup 41. The structure of the plum blossom groove 45 can increase the reverse blowing function and prevent the introduction of dust and blockage.

[0030] In another embodiment of the present invention, a connection groove 13 is formed on the side wall of the main body 01.

[0031] In another embodiment of the present invention, a silencer 31 is arranged on the exhaust port to reduce the exhaust noise.

[0032] In another embodiment of the present invention, the number of the air inlets 21 is multiple, and they can be respectively used as a positive pressure air inlet 21 and a negative pressure detection port.

[0033] When the composite vacuum sucker of the present utility model is in use, the vacuum generating mechanism is connected to the circuit of the robotic arm. When clamping a workpiece (such as a PCB board), angle compensation is formed through the mounting block 05 to avoid hard landing. After contacting the workpiece, the vacuum generating mechanism is powered on and opened, exhausts air through the exhaust port to form a vacuum in the inner cavity 11, and makes the suction cup 41 form a vacuum through the air guide groove on the bottom surface of the body 01 to adsorb the workpiece. The suction cup 41 that does not contact the workpiece is blocked by the check float to prevent the leakage of vacuum flow.

[0034] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
