[0027] This embodiment provides a soft bag suction cup, including a suction cup seat 10, a corrugated pipe 20, and a lip 30. The corrugated pipe 20 is a 2.5-fold corrugation. Conventionally, it is generally 2-fold or even multi-fold. The grasping force of the 2-fold one is small, and the multi-fold one is prone to generate a large grasping force, which may cause deformation of some adsorbed products. The half-fold part of the 2.5-fold of the suction cup seat 10 is connected to the lip 30, and the other end is connected to the suction cup seat 10. The suction cup seat 10 has a vacuum passage 11 communicating with the corrugated pipe 20. The vacuum passage 11 is generally axially arranged on the suction cup seat 10;

[0028] The lower end of the corrugated pipe 20 is shaped to expand obliquely downward, and the inclination angle of the lower end of the corrugated pipe 20 is 15°. Compared with the traditional lip inclination angle of 45°, this structural design enables the lip to fit the outer surface of the product more closely. The lip 30 is installed at the lower end edge of the corrugated pipe 20 and extends along the direction of the oblique downward inclination angle;

[0029] The inner edge of the lower end of the corrugated pipe 20 is reduced in diameter inward to form an annular contact part 21. This structural design replaces the traditional inner ring, directly expands the gas adsorption channel, can increase the air cyclone volume, and thus generates superior grasping force. Furthermore, when in use, the vacuum flow can be reduced;

[0030] On the side of the contact part 21 facing the product, a number of contact bumps 22 are radially arranged around the axis of the corrugated pipe 20. This structural design is for the contact part 21 to prevent radial deformation. During production, the corrugated pipe 20, the lip 30, the contact part 21, and the contact bumps 22 are integrally formed. The corrugated pipe 20 is made of an elastic material and has a telescopic and flexible cylindrical structure, preferably a rubber material. The corrugated pipe diameter of the corrugated pipe 20 close to the suction cup base 10 should be larger than the adjacent corrugated pipe diameter, and the inner diameter of the contact part 21 should be less than or equal to the adjacent corrugated pipe diameter.

[0031] Support mechanisms 31 for increasing the support force of the lip 30 are provided on both outer sides of the lip 30, namely the back and the front. Preferably, the support mechanisms 31 are also provided on the outer surface of the folded outer surface of the complete corrugation of the corrugated pipe 20 close to the lip 30 for improving the radial support force of the corrugated pipe. In this way, the lip 30 can be made thinner and can be located closely on the outer surface of the adsorbed product / workpiece; The support mechanism 31 includes a number of outwardly protruding reinforcing ribs 311 radially arranged around the axis of the corrugated pipe 20 on both the front and the back of the lip 30. The reinforcing ribs 311 are dot-line structures; The reinforcing ribs 311 and the contact bumps 22 are arranged in a staggered manner, and adjacent parts overlap.

[0032] It also includes a connection part 23 provided at the upper end of the corrugated pipe 20. An internal threaded hole 12 is opened inside the suction cup base 10. The outside of the connection part 23 has an external thread that is threadedly connected to the internal threaded hole 12. An internal hexagonal hole 24 for easy disassembly by tools is axially opened inside the connection part 23. The internal hexagonal hole 24 coincides with the axis of the internal threaded hole 12 to form a vacuum passage 11. A vacuum through hole 11 is formed, and the vacuum through hole 11 is communicated with the corrugated pipe 20.

[0033] The suction cup base 10 includes an integrally formed chassis 13 and a mounting part 14. The chassis 13 is connected to the mounting part 14. The mounting part 14 is provided with an external thread 15 for cooperating and connecting with a vacuum generator. A sealing ring 16 for improving the connection sealing performance of the vacuum generator is provided on the outer surface of the chassis 13 and around the mounting part 14. The vacuum passage 11 is axially opened between the chassis 13 and the mounting part 14 and penetrates through the chassis 13 and the mounting part 14;

[0034] Specifically, the support structure on the corrugated pipe 20 can be a corrugation in the middle of the corrugated pipe 20, and several reinforcing ribs 25 distributed radially around the axis of the corrugated pipe 20 are provided on the outer surface close to the suction cup seat 10. The reinforcing ribs 25 are integrally formed with the corrugated pipe 20. The reinforcing ribs 25 strengthen the radial bearing capacity of the corrugation of the corrugated pipe 20 at this place and increase the service life.

[0035] Taking the above ideal embodiments based on the present application as an inspiration, through the above description, relevant staff can completely make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical idea of this application. The technical scope of this application is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
