Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vacuum adsorption and transportation, and particularly relates to a vacuum adsorption device. Background Art
[0002] A vacuum suction device is a device that uses a vacuum between the suction cup and the object to transport and transfer objects. It usually uses the vacuum pressure generated by a vacuum pump or vacuum generator as the power source. It is suitable for electronic and electrical production and product packaging, especially for objects with smooth surfaces that are not suitable for clamping and transportation.
[0003] Among them, FPC (flexible circuit board) refers to a printed circuit made of flexible insulating base material. During the FPC production and processing, a vacuum adsorption device is also used to adsorb and transport the FPC. The vacuum adsorption device plays a vital role in the automated production of FPC.
[0004] Currently, the common vacuum adsorption device for adsorbing and transporting FPC is mainly composed of a mobile transport component, a vacuum generating system, a nozzle fixing plate and a vacuum nozzle. In actual application, the movement is controlled by the mobile transport component, and the vacuum generating system is used to control the vacuum nozzle to generate vacuum pressure, thereby realizing vacuum adsorption and transport of FPC.
[0005] The vacuum nozzle is the key to the stable operation of the vacuum suction device. In order to ensure that the vacuum suction nozzle can fully contact the FPC, most vacuum suction nozzles in the existing technology use a sleeve spring to provide the suction nozzle with telescopic movement space, thereby ensuring that the vacuum suction nozzle can fully contact the FPC. However, since the spring does not have a buffering function in actual application, the vacuum suction device is prone to rebounding during the process of vacuum suction and lifting and transporting, resulting in vacuum suction failure. At the same time, the spring does not have a buffering function, which makes it easy for the vacuum suction nozzle to have a large downward force during the downward pressure adsorption process, causing the contact position between the FPC and the vacuum suction nozzle to deform, making the vacuum suction device less reliable in vacuum suction and transportation of the FPC.
[0006] Therefore, in view of the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide a vacuum adsorption device.
[0007] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to increase the understanding of the overall background of the present invention, and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to those skilled in the art.

[0014] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a fixing nut is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded sleeve, and the fixing nut and the base are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the assembly base. The fixing nut and the base cooperate with each other to fix the assembly fixture to the assembly base.

[0016] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the air guide block is hollow, the air inlet nozzle and the air delivery pipe are both connected to the air guide block, the set connector is fixedly assembled above the air guide block, and the set connector is set below the guide rod.
[0017] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a return spring is mounted below the guide rod and disposed between the assembly fixture and the connecting air guide.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a vacuum adsorption device in one embodiment of the present invention includes: an assembly base plate 1, multiple groups of adsorption and fixing components 2, and multiple groups of buffer and limit components 3.
[0033] Specifically, a plurality of assembly holes are provided on the top of the assembly base plate 1, and the plurality of assembly holes are provided corresponding to the plurality of adsorption and fixing components 2, and the assembly fixing piece 201 passes through the assembly arrangement. The assembly holes provide an assembly basis for the adsorption and fixing components 2.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, multiple adsorption and fixing components 2 are fixedly assembled below the assembly base 1. The adsorption and fixing components 2 include assembly fixing parts 201, which are set through the assembly base 1. The assembly fixing parts 201 play the role of assembly limit and movement guide for the guide rods 202 and the connecting air guide parts 203.
[0035] like Figures 5 and 6 As shown, the assembly fixture 201 consists of a base 2011 and a threaded sleeve 2012 . The base 2011 is fixedly assembled below the threaded sleeve 2012 , and an external thread is provided on the outer side of the threaded sleeve 2012 .
[0036] like Figures 5 and 6 As shown, the outer side of the threaded sleeve 2012 is threadedly connected with a fixing nut 205, and the fixing nut 205 and the base 2011 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the assembly base 1. The assembly fixture 201 is fixedly assembled with the assembly base 1 through the mutual cooperation of the fixing nut 205 and the base 2011.
[0037] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a guide rod 202 is slidably mounted in the assembly fixture 201. The guide rod 202 plays a role in assembling and fixing the connecting air guide 203. At the same time, the elastic suction nozzle 204 can be buffered and limited by buffering the guide rod 202.
[0038] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the lower end of the guide rod 202 is covered with a connecting air guide 203. The connecting air guide 203 plays the role of connecting the guide rod 202 and the elastic suction nozzle 204, making it easy to conduct the elastic suction nozzle 204 through the connecting air guide 203.
[0039] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the connecting air guide part 203 is composed of an air guide block 2031, an air inlet nozzle 2032, an air delivery pipe 2033 and a set connecting part 2034. The air inlet nozzle 2032 is fixedly assembled on one side of the air guide block 2031, the air delivery pipe 2033 is integrally formed below the air guide block 2031, and the connecting air guide part 203 is set on the outside of the air delivery pipe 2033.
[0040] It is worth noting that the air guide block 2031 is hollow, the air inlet nozzle 2032 and the air delivery pipe 2033 are both connected to the air guide block 2031, the set connector 2034 is fixedly assembled above the air guide block 2031, and the set connector 2034 is set below the guide rod 202.
[0041] Specifically, the air inlet nozzle 2032 is externally connected to a vacuum pump or a vacuum generator during actual application.
[0042] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, an elastic suction nozzle 204 is provided below the air guide 203. The elastic suction nozzle 204 is used to vacuum adsorb objects.
[0043] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a return spring 206 is sleeved below the guide rod 202, and the return spring 206 is arranged between the assembly fixture 201 and the connecting air guide 203. The connecting air guide 203 is supported and reset by the contraction and reset of the return spring 206.
[0044] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a buffer airbag cushion 207 is sheathed on the outer side of the return spring 206, and the two ends of the buffer airbag cushion 207 are respectively connected to the assembly fixing member 201 and the connecting air guide 203. The buffer airbag cushion 207 plays a role of buffering, supporting and limiting the connecting air guide 203.
[0045] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the outer side of the airbag cushion 207 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed first damping vent holes 208. The first damping vent holes 208 provide electrical communication between the inner and outer sides of the airbag cushion 207. The diameter of the first damping vent holes 208 at one end within the airbag cushion 207 is smaller than that at the other end. This ensures that the air within the airbag cushion 207, when discharged through the first damping vent holes 208, has an exhaust velocity that is lower than the intake velocity, thereby buffering the airbag cushion 207 from contraction.
[0046] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, multiple groups of buffer limiter assemblies 3 are assembled above the assembly base 1. The buffer limiter assemblies 3 include a buffer gas cylinder 301, which is fixedly assembled above the assembly fixture 201. The buffer gas cylinder 301 plays a buffering and limiting role for the compression piston block 302.
[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the buffer cylinder 301 are fixedly connected with a closing cover 305. The closing cover 305 plays a role of closing and limiting the buffer cylinder 301.
[0048] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, a compression piston block 302 is slidably mounted in the buffer cylinder 301, and the compression piston block 302 is fixedly mounted above the guide rod 202. The guide rod 202 is buffered and limited by the compression piston block 302.
[0049] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the compression piston block 302 divides the buffer cylinder 301 into a compression chamber 306 and a reset chamber 307, and the support spring 304 is arranged in the compression chamber 306. The compression piston block 302 is buffered and limited by the change in the volume of the compression chamber 306 and the reset chamber 307.
[0050] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a plurality of evenly distributed second damping exhaust holes 303 are provided on the outer side of the compression piston block 302. The compression chamber 306 and the reset chamber 307 are connected and conducted through the plurality of second damping exhaust holes 303.
[0051] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, two ends of the plurality of second damping exhaust holes 303 are respectively connected to the compression chamber 306 and the reset chamber 307. The compression chamber 306 and the reset chamber 307 are connected and conducted through the plurality of second damping exhaust holes 303.
[0052] It is worth noting that the diameter of the plurality of second damping exhaust holes 303 at one end of the compression chamber 306 is larger than that at the other end, so as to facilitate controlling the extrusion exhaust state of the compression piston block 302 through the second damping exhaust holes 303, thereby buffering and limiting the compression piston block 302.
[0053] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a support spring 304 is arranged between the compression piston block 302 and the buffer gas cylinder 301. The compression piston block 302 is supported and reset by the contraction and reset of the support spring 304.
[0054] During specific use, the assembly fixing part 201 is assembled through the assembly hole on the assembly base plate 1, and the assembly fixing part 201 is fixedly connected to the assembly base plate 1 by threading the fixing nut 205 and the threaded sleeve 2012. The elastic suction nozzle 204 is assembled under the connecting air guide part 203 by plugging, and the air inlet nozzle 2032 is connected to the vacuum pump or vacuum generator, so that the vacuum system is connected to the elastic suction nozzle 204.
[0055] When the elastic suction nozzle 204 presses down and absorbs the transported object, the return spring 206 will be compressed under the action of the assembly fixture 201. At this time, the buffer airbag cushion 207 will deform accordingly with the movement of the assembly fixture 201, and the gas in the buffer airbag cushion 207 can be discharged along the first damping exhaust hole 208. Since the diameter of the first damping exhaust hole 208 at one end of the buffer airbag cushion 207 is smaller than the diameter at the other end, the exhaust speed of the buffer airbag cushion 207 is greater than the intake speed. By controlling the exhaust speed of the buffer airbag cushion 207, the buffer airbag cushion 207 can assist the return spring 206 to buffer and limit the downward pressing process of the elastic suction nozzle 204.
[0056] At the same time, the compression piston block 302 will compress the compression chamber 306 under the action of the guide rod 202, and connect the compression chamber 306 and the reset chamber 307 through the second damping exhaust hole 303, and the gas reflux state of the compression chamber 306 and the reset chamber 307 is connected through the second damping exhaust hole 303 to assist in buffering and limiting the compression piston block 302 and the guide rod 202.
[0057] When the elastic suction nozzle 204 returns to its original position after suction, outside air can flow back into the buffer airbag cushion 207 through the first damping exhaust hole 208. The return of the buffer airbag cushion 207 and the return spring 206 assists in resetting the connecting air guide 203. At the same time, the compression piston block 302 returns to its original position under the action of the support spring 304. During the rebound process of the compression piston block 302, the multiple second damping exhaust holes 303 limit the air in the compression chamber 306 and the return chamber 307, thus buffering and limiting the compression piston block 302. By limiting the downward pressure and return state of the elastic suction nozzle 204, the reliability of the vacuum suction device is improved.
[0058] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention.
