Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of glass processing, and particularly relates to a glass suction cup device. Background Art

[0002] In a glass manufacturing factory, the loading and unloading of glass is an important and dangerous process. Since glass is fragile and some glass has large length and width dimensions, the suction position of the suction cup is very important during glass adsorption. Different sizes of glass require different numbers of suction cups and different distances between the suction cups. If suction cup frames of different sizes are manufactured according to the size of the glass, it will not only increase costs but also easily cause waste of resources.

[0003] At present, glass suction cup assemblies with adjustable stroke often adopt an integrated design, and the stroke adjustment device is usually not detachable, or the glass suction cup cannot be used normally after removing the device. When handling or installing some relatively large glass panels that can be reached by manpower, the method of manual operation has a large difficulty coefficient, and using a large glass clamping machine has low flexibility and will cause waste of resources. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A glass suction cup device of the utility model comprises a base, a connection component fixed on the base, a suction cup frame fixedly connected with the base, and a plurality of suction cups. The connection component includes a adapter for detachably connecting with an external manipulator, a gas spring for buffering and positioning the base, and a joint arm for hoisting the suction cup frame. The adapter is detachably connected with the joint arm; the bottom end of the joint arm is hinged to the middle of the base; both ends of the gas spring are respectively hinged to the side surface of the joint arm and the top end of the base. The bottom surface of the base is detachably connected with the suction cup frame; the suction cups are fixedly connected to the suction cup frame.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the suction cup frame includes a plurality of transverse fixing rods, a plurality of longitudinal fixing rods detachably connected with the base, a plurality of suction cup fixing plates arranged below the longitudinal fixing rods, and a plurality of suction cup bottom plates. The suction cup fixing plates are fixedly connected with the suction cup bottom plates.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a chute is arranged in the longitudinal fixing rod, and the transverse fixing rod is detachably connected with the longitudinal fixing rod through the chute.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the sucker fixing plate is detachably connected to the longitudinal fixing rod.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the sucker is threadedly connected to the sucker bottom plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. By changing the position of the longitudinal fixing rod on the transverse fixing rod, the distance between the suckers on the left and right sides is changed to adapt to the hoisting of glass of different sizes, reducing the cost of hoisting tools and making full use of resources;

[0013] 2.

[0026] The usage method of the present utility model is as follows:

[0027] 1. When it is necessary to suck the glass, the joint arm 6 is controlled by an external manipulator or a hoisting device to drive the base 1 to move. Under the drive of the base 1, the suction cup frame 3 reaches above the glass to be sucked.

[0028] 2. When it is necessary to grasp the glass, the joint arm 6 rotates at a certain angle in the vertical plane. By adjusting the angle of the base 1, all the suction cups 11 are brought into full contact with the glass. After the glass is in full contact with the suction cups, the air in the suction cups is discharged through a vacuum device (not shown) to realize the adsorption of the glass.

[0029] 3. After the glass is completely adsorbed, the length of the spring is locked by the self-locking function of the gas spring 5, and the two ends of the gas spring stop moving, so that the position of the base 1 relative to the joint arm 6 is completely fixed and cannot rotate any further, realizing the positioning and grasping of the glass. Then, under the control of an external manipulator or a hoisting device, after the glass is moved to the designated position, the gas spring 5 and the vacuum device (not shown) are released to realize the placement of the glass.
