Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Bernoulli suction cups, in particular to a Bernoulli quartz suction cup. Background Art

[0002] The Bernoulli principle is widely applied in various industrial fields. Especially in the process of material handling, the technology of using the pressure difference generated by air flow for adsorption and fixation plays an important role. As a tool designed based on this principle, the main function of the Bernoulli suction cup is to achieve stable grasping and movement without damaging the surface of the adsorbed object. However, in practical applications, especially when dealing with materials such as quartz that are hard and smooth on the surface, the existing Bernoulli suction cups face some significant limitations, which not only affect their working efficiency but also limit their application scope to a certain extent.

[0003] The adsorption capacity of the Bernoulli suction cup is limited by its design principle. According to the Bernoulli principle, when a fluid (gas or liquid) passes through a narrow channel, its velocity will increase, resulting in a decrease in pressure. Utilizing this effect, the suction cup can form a low-pressure area above to adsorb the object. However, for materials like quartz that are heavy and have a smooth surface, the adsorption force generated solely by the Bernoulli effect is often insufficient to provide enough holding force. Especially when encountering vibrations or tilts during the handling process, it is easy to cause adsorption failure, and then the quartz will fall, causing potential safety hazards.

[0004] Most of the existing Bernoulli suction cups do not have a rotation function. This means that after grasping the quartz, the suction cup cannot be adjusted according to needs. This is an obvious shortcoming for those application scenarios that require changing directions during the handling process. For example, in the semiconductor manufacturing industry, quartz often needs to be accurately placed at a specific position, and a suction cup without rotation ability is difficult to meet this accuracy requirement. In addition, in some cases, the shape of the quartz is irregular, and the fixed suction cup angle may not be able to effectively fit its surface, further affecting the adsorption stability and operation efficiency.

[0005] Since the Bernoulli suction cup relies on continuous air flow supply to maintain the adsorption state, once the air source is interrupted or the air flow is unstable, the adsorption force will disappear instantly, which undoubtedly increases the operation risk. Especially in an automated production line, any sudden air flow interruption may cause the quartz to fall off, resulting in production line shutdown at least, and may even damage expensive quartz materials or threaten the personal safety of on-site workers. Therefore, how to ensure the continuity and stability of the air flow supply has become one of the key factors in improving the reliability of the Bernoulli suction cup.

[0006] The use of Bernoulli suction cups is also restricted by environmental conditions. For example, in an environment with high humidity, moisture in the air may reduce the adsorption effect of the suction cup; while in a dusty or impurity-rich environment, fine particles may enter the gap between the suction cup and the quartz, breaking the vacuum state and weakening the adsorption force. The existence of these problems has cast doubt on the applicability of Bernoulli suction cups in specific workplaces.

[0007] In summary, although Bernoulli suction cups have demonstrated superior performance in many fields due to their unique working principle, their inherent defects cannot be ignored when dealing with special materials such as quartz.

[0008] Therefore, how to provide a Bernoulli quartz suction cup is an urgent problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0027] Now, the present utility model will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, only illustrating the basic structure of the present utility model in a schematic manner, so they only show the components related to the present utility model.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present utility model provides a Bernoulli quartz suction cup, including a main air duct plate 1, an auxiliary air duct plate 2, a Bernoulli suction cup 3 and a base plate 4. Among them, one end of the auxiliary air duct plate 2 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the end of the main air duct plate 1, the top of the Bernoulli suction cup 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the other end of the auxiliary air duct plate 2, the base plate 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the main air duct plate 1, and further includes an adapter ring 9. The top of the adapter ring 9 is rotatably installed at the air outlet of the main air duct hole 6, and the bottom of the adapter ring 9 is rotatably installed at the air inlet of the auxiliary air duct hole 7. The adapter ring 9 is used to connect the communication between the main air duct hole 6 and the auxiliary air duct hole 7.

[0029] A clamping seat 5 is fixedly arranged at the top of one end of the main air duct plate 1 close to the auxiliary air duct plate 2. The clamping seat 5 is used to connect with the external setting. By being clamped with the external device and the clamping seat 5, a main air duct hole 6 is opened inside the main air duct plate 1. The air inlet of the main air duct hole 6 is located at the bottom of the main air duct plate 1. The main air duct hole 6 is arranged in a straight line. An auxiliary air duct hole 7 is opened inside the auxiliary air duct plate 2. An adsorption port 8 is opened on the Bernoulli suction cup 3. The adsorption port 8 is used to adsorb a part of the surface in contact with the object to be adsorbed. There are two clamping seats 5, and the two clamping seats 5 are located on both sides of the main air duct plate 1. An enclosing plate 10 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the main air duct plate 1.

[0030] Furthermore, the end of the main air duct hole 6 in the main air duct plate 1 far from the auxiliary air duct plate 2 is the air inlet, which is connected to an external device to introduce high-pressure air into the main air duct hole 6. The high-pressure fluid then enters the adapter ring 9 from the main air duct hole 6, and the high-pressure fluid enters the auxiliary air duct hole 7 of the auxiliary air duct plate 2 from the adapter ring 9. The auxiliary air duct hole 7 distributes the air duct and is connected to the adsorption port 8 of the Bernoulli suction cup 3. The high-pressure fluid is dispersed from the adsorption port 8, and a low-pressure area is formed below the Bernoulli suction cup 3. A pressure difference is formed between the low-pressure area and the external atmospheric pressure. This pressure difference generates sufficient suction force to adsorb the object under the Bernoulli suction cup 3. Once the object is adsorbed, the Bernoulli suction cup 3 can move, and the external moving device moves the whole through the clamping seat 5, thereby driving the object to move together. When it is necessary to put down the object, the low-pressure area can be destroyed by changing the air flow or changing the distance between the Bernoulli suction cup 3 and the object, thereby releasing the object.

[0031] This practical Bernoulli suction cup 3 exhibits many advantages in handling quartz materials with its unique non-contact adsorption method. It forms a low-pressure area between the Bernoulli suction cup 3 and the object through high-speed airflow, achieving adsorption without directly contacting the object surface, which is especially suitable for sensitive materials that need to avoid contamination or damage. Compared with traditional vacuum suction cups, the Bernoulli suction cup 3 can better adapt to porous, rough or uneven-surface objects and can significantly reduce surface scratches or damages, thus maintaining the high-quality surface of quartz materials.

[0032] The main air duct plate 1 and the auxiliary air duct plate 2 are rotationally connected through the adapter ring 9, and the angle of the Bernoulli suction cup 3 can be controlled.

[0033] The Bernoulli suction cup 3 can automatically adjust the angle:

[0034] When the Bernoulli suction cup 3 can swing, it can automatically adjust its posture according to the angle of the object surface it contacts; this means that even if the object surface is not completely flat or has a certain inclination, the Bernoulli suction cup 3 can swing to fit the surface, thus forming a better sealing effect; this is particularly important for handling quartz materials with irregular shapes or slightly changing surfaces, because this can ensure stable adsorption in any case.

[0035] The angle-controlled Bernoulli suction cup 3 can reduce stress concentration:

[0036] During the handling process, the object may be affected by various forces, such as gravity, inertia force, etc.; if the Bernoulli suction cup 3 cannot swing, these forces may concentrate on a certain point where the Bernoulli suction cup 3 contacts the object, which may cause damage to the object; the swinging function of the Bernoulli suction cup 3 can help disperse these forces, reduce the pressure at the stress concentration point, and protect the quartz material from damage.

[0037] The angle-controlled Bernoulli suction cup 3 can improve stability:

[0038] The swinging ability enables the Bernoulli suction cup 3 to maintain good contact with the object through self-adjustment in the face of external disturbances (such as sudden movement or vibration); this helps to maintain the stability of the adsorption state and prevent the object from falling off during the handling process, especially in a dynamic environment (such as an automated production line), this is particularly important.

[0039] The angle-controlled Bernoulli suction cup 3 can improve operation efficiency:

[0040] The swing design of the Bernoulli suction cup 3 enables it to adapt to the new working environment faster and complete the adjustment of position and angle without manual intervention. In this way, the operator can complete the handling of quartz materials faster, improving the overall operation efficiency. This is particularly beneficial for scenarios that require frequent handling of different objects or working in a changing environment.

[0041] The angle-controlled Bernoulli suction cup 3 can adapt to objects of different sizes and shapes:

[0042] Different quartz materials may have different sizes and shapes. The swing characteristics of the Bernoulli suction cup 3 enable it to adapt to various different objects without the need to replace different suction cups or tools. This versatility means that the same Bernoulli suction cup 3 can be used in multiple applications, increasing the flexibility and scope of application of the device.

[0043] The angle-controlled Bernoulli suction cup 3 can reduce the alignment difficulty:

[0044] When placing or picking up quartz materials, precise alignment is often a challenge. The swing function of the Bernoulli suction cup 3 can simplify this process because the Bernoulli suction cup 3 can adjust itself to the optimal position without the need for the operator to make fine manual adjustments. This not only saves time but also reduces the error rate caused by improper alignment.

[0045] As described above, it is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution of the present utility model and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
