Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of glass grasping and handling, in particular to a sucker leg lifting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The sucker leg lifting mechanism of the traditional sucker rack is a horizontal linear motion, and the sucker leg is lifted by the linear motion of the cylinder directly pushing the sucker to act. The traditional structure has defects: 1. Since the specifications of glass products are constantly updated, the posture of the robotic arm grasping the glass will change continuously, so it is required to reduce the thickness of the entire sucker rack to avoid interference with the trajectory of the robotic arm. 2. The position of the sucker leg installed on the sucker rack cannot be restricted, resulting in the inability to form a sealed vacuum for the glass at the extreme position of grasping, causing the glass to fall and being unsightly.

[0006] Preferably, in the above-mentioned sucker leg lifting mechanism, a nut is threadedly connected to the lifting rod above the annular step, and the bottom end of the spring abuts against the upper end surface of the nut.

[0007] Preferably, in the above-mentioned sucker leg lifting mechanism, there are a pair of swing arms, and the pair of swing arms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the telescopic cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, in the above-mentioned sucker leg lifting mechanism, the telescopic cylinder is horizontally arranged.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present utility model are as follows:

[0010] The cylinder drives the swing arm to swing, so that the extension part abuts against the step, causing the lifting rod to move up and down, changing the horizontal movement of lifting the sucker leg into a vertical movement, greatly reducing the thickness of the entire structure, eliminating the interference hidden danger of the robotic arm path, improving the structure, enhancing the rationality of grasping, and improving the appearance. Brief Description of the Drawings
