Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of feeding devices, and particularly to a hybrid suction component. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, suction components mainly use vacuum suction cups or magnetic components for material handling. These two methods meet the requirements of industrial automation production lines to a certain extent, especially when dealing with materials that are smooth on the surface and have magnetism. However, with the continuous development of industrial production, the diversification and complexity of products have gradually increased, and the traditional suction methods have gradually revealed their deficiencies.

[0003] Specifically, some products are large and thin, and at the same time, their structures are relatively complex. Among such products, some materials may be non-magnetic materials, and there are few smooth surface areas. In this case, when using traditional magnetic components for handling, the problem of too small adsorption area will occur, resulting in product deformation. In addition, when a vacuum suction cup adsorbs such products, due to limited adsorption positions, it often cannot provide sufficient adsorption force and cannot ensure the stability of the handling process.

[0004] The current method to solve the above problems is usually to use a multi-axis robotic arm in cooperation with a material transfer frame for handling. Although this method can solve the problem of unstable adsorption to a certain extent, its efficiency is low, the cost is high, and the versatility is poor, and it is not suitable for rapidly changing production requirements. Therefore, the prior art has significant deficiencies when dealing with products that are large and thin, have a complex structure, and contain non-magnetic materials.

[0005] In order to overcome the above problems, it is particularly important to develop a new hybrid suction component. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to at least overcome one deficiency of the prior art, and provide a hybrid suction component, which can combine the advantages of a vacuum suction cup and a magnetic component, improve the versatility and flexibility of the production line, as well as the handling efficiency and stability, and at the same time reduce the production cost and equipment complexity, and can better meet the handling requirements of modern industry for diversified and complex products.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present application discloses a hybrid material suction assembly, including a main rod, a support rod installed on the main rod through an adjustable bracket, and a pneumatic and magnetic integrated suction cup arranged on the support rod. Among them, the support rod realizes the adjustment of the height and angle relative to the main rod through the adjustable bracket. A main flow channel is arranged in the main rod, and a branch flow channel connected to the main rod body is arranged in the support rod. The branch flow channel is connected and communicated with the pneumatic and magnetic integrated suction cup to provide negative pressure to the pneumatic and magnetic integrated suction cup. The pneumatic and magnetic integrated suction cup includes a base, a suction cup main body arranged on the base, and an adjustable electromagnetic block located on the base. The vertical height of the electromagnetic block is adjustable, so that the electromagnetic block exposes the suction cup main body or is located below the suction cup main body.

[0008] Further, an air inlet of the branch flow channel is arranged in the base, and a filter screen is installed at the air inlet.

[0009] Further, the adjustable electromagnetic block includes an internal electromagnetic component and a silica gel sleeve covering the electromagnetic component.

[0010] Further, the base and the branch flow channel are connected in a controllable opening and closing manner through an electric control valve.

[0011] Further, the pneumatic and magnetic integrated suction cup and the support rod are connected through an adjustable connecting piece, so that the orientation angle of the pneumatic and magnetic integrated disk is adjustable.

[0012] Further, the base in the pneumatic and magnetic integrated suction cup is connected to the branch flow channel through a hose.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. Flexible height and angle adjustment: Through the adjustable bracket, the support rod can realize the adjustment of the height and angle relative to the main rod, so that the material suction assembly can adapt to the operation requirements of different heights and angles, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the system.

[0015] 2. Pneumatic and magnetic integrated design: The pneumatic and magnetic integrated suction cup combines a vacuum suction cup and an electromagnetic block, and can selectively use vacuum or electromagnetic force to provide adsorption force, which can more effectively adsorb various materials, especially objects with complex structures and few smooth surface areas. This design improves the reliability and stability of adsorption and avoids the limitations of a single adsorption method.

[0016] The beneficial effects listed above do not exhaust all the advantages. Other potential beneficial effects and detailed technical implementation manners will be further revealed in the embodiments or other description parts of the present application. Description of the Drawings

[0024] Such as Figure 1 、 2As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses an exemplary structure for achieving the technical purpose of the present application, specifically a hybrid material suction component. In terms of structural composition, it includes a main rod 1, a support rod 2, an adjustable bracket 3, and a pneumatic and magnetic integrated suction cup 4. This component aims to solve the deficiencies existing in the existing material suction methods when dealing with large, thin, and complex-structured products.

[0025] Specifically, the main rod 1 is the core support part of the entire device, usually made of high-strength aluminum alloy or carbon fiber material to ensure sufficient strength and durability while remaining lightweight. There is a main flow channel inside the main rod 1, and this flow channel is used to transfer negative pressure, thereby providing negative pressure adsorption capacity for the entire system.

[0026] Furthermore, the support rod 2 is installed on the main rod 1 through the adjustable bracket 3. The adjustable bracket 3 adopts a multi-joint design, enabling the support rod 2 to be adjusted in height and angle relative to the main rod 1.

[0027] More specifically, the adjustment mechanism of the adjustable bracket 3 includes threaded connection and knob adjustment, enabling users to conveniently adjust the position of the support rod to meet the requirements of different working conditions.

[0028] Furthermore, the support rod 2 itself is made of high-strength steel or aluminum alloy material, and there is a branch flow channel inside it that is connected to the main flow channel. The branch flow channel extends from one end of the support rod 2 to the other end and is connected to the pneumatic and magnetic integrated suction cup 4 to ensure that negative pressure can be effectively transmitted to the suction cup.

[0029] In this embodiment, the pneumatic and magnetic integrated suction cup 4 is the key part of the entire component, and its design combines the advantages of a vacuum suction cup and electromagnetic adsorption. Specifically, the pneumatic and magnetic integrated suction cup 4 includes a base 401, a suction cup main body 402, and an adjustable electromagnetic block 403. The base 401 is made of strong steel or aluminum, and there is an air inlet inside it, which is connected to the branch flow channel through the air inlet. An efficient filter screen is installed at the air inlet, which can prevent dust and impurities from entering the system, thereby protecting the stable operation of the negative pressure system.

[0030] Furthermore, the suction cup main body 402 is made of flexible materials such as silica gel or polyurethane, with good sealing performance and flexibility, and can closely fit the surfaces of various shaped objects. The suction cup main body 402 forms a suction cup cavity, and the suction cup cavity is connected to the air inlet of the base 401 through an internal channel to ensure that negative pressure can be evenly distributed on the entire suction cup surface.

[0031] Furthermore, the adjustable electromagnetic block 403 is installed on the base 401, and its height can be adjusted through an internal guide rail and threaded mechanism for height adjustment.

[0032] In terms of structure, the adjustable electromagnetic block 403 consists of an internal electromagnetic component and an external silicone rubber sleeve. The silicone rubber sleeve not only protects the electromagnetic component from the external environment but also provides a certain buffering effect.

[0033] It can be understood that when the adjustable electromagnetic block 403 is inside the suction cup main body 402, the pneumatic-magnetic integrated suction cup 4 realizes material suction through negative pressure; when the adjustable electromagnetic block 403 extends outside the suction cup main body 402, the suction cup main body 402 no longer functions, and the adjustable electromagnetic block 403 simply uses magnetic force for adsorption.

[0034] As a further description of the above structure, the base 401 and the branch channel are controllably opened and closed through an electric control valve, and the user can precisely control the adsorption and release processes of the suction cup through the electric control valve.

[0035] In addition, the pneumatic-magnetic integrated suction cup 4 is connected to the support rod 2 through an adjustable connecting piece, and the design of the connecting piece allows the suction cup to be adjusted at multiple angles in different directions to adapt to the shape and position requirements of different objects.

[0036] Meanwhile, the base 401 is connected to the branch channel through a flexible hose, and the use of the flexible hose increases the flexibility of the connection and reduces the stress and damage risks brought by rigid connections.

[0037] In the actual use process, first, adjust the height and angle of the support rod 2 through the adjustable bracket 3 to adapt to the position and shape of the object to be carried. Then, start the negative pressure device in the main channel, and transfer the negative pressure to the pneumatic-magnetic integrated suction cup through the branch channel. The suction cup main body 4 fits the surface of the object, and selects the vacuum adsorption force or electromagnetic adsorption force according to the surface condition of the object to ensure that the object is firmly adsorbed.

[0038] Specific application example: When handling a large and thin metal plate, since its surface is rough and has a certain magnetism, the adjustable electromagnetic block 403 can be adjusted to extend outside the suction cup main body 302, and it can be firmly adsorbed by magnetic attraction to avoid stability problems caused by too small adsorption force when using vacuum adsorption. During the operation, first position the metal plate below the suction cup, and adjust the height and angle of the support rod 2 so that the suction cup can completely cover the surface of the metal plate. Then, start the electromagnetic block, and the electromagnetic force makes the metal plate tightly adsorbed on the suction cup to ensure stability and safety during the handling process.

[0039] On the contrary, for a plastic plate with a smooth surface and no magnetism, the adjustable electromagnetic block 403 can be adjusted to inside the suction cup main body 402, and reliable adsorption can be achieved through negative pressure material suction. The specific operation steps are as follows: First, place the plastic plate below the suction cup main body 402, and also adjust the height and angle of the support rod 2 so that the suction cup main body 402 can be in close contact with the surface of the plastic plate. Start the negative pressure device, transfer the negative pressure to the suction cup main body 402 through the branch channel, and the suction cup main body 402 firmly adsorbs the plastic plate through negative pressure to ensure the smooth progress of the handling process.

[0040] The design principle of this hybrid material suction component lies in combining the advantages of vacuum adsorption and electromagnetic adsorption, achieving adaptation to different working conditions through an adjustable structure, and improving the flexibility of operation and the reliability of adsorption. The use of auxiliary components such as filter nets and electric control valves further enhances the stability and controllability of the system, making it have wide application value in the field of industrial automation. For example, in the automotive manufacturing industry, the body panels are large, thin, and have complex shapes. Traditional suction cups often encounter problems such as unstable adsorption or deformation when handling these panels. Using this hybrid material suction component, the adsorption method can be flexibly adjusted according to the material and surface conditions of the panel, improving the efficiency and stability of handling.

[0041] In addition, during the machining and assembly process, there are a wide variety of components with different shapes. The flexibility of this material suction component can also meet the handling requirements of various complex shapes and materials. By combining vacuum and magnetic adsorption methods, the stability and safety of adsorption are ensured, effectively improving production efficiency and product quality, reducing production costs, and enhancing market competitiveness.

[0042] In summary, this hybrid material suction component combines the advantages of vacuum adsorption and magnetic adsorption, and achieves high flexibility and adaptability through adjustable electromagnetic blocks and adjustable brackets. It not only improves the efficiency and stability of operation, but also can adapt to a variety of complex working conditions, having significant application value and broad market prospects in the field of industrial automation.
