[0051] Example 1:
[0052] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment provides an ultra-thin porous vacuum suction cup, which includes: a suction cup body 100, a connecting pipe 200 and a negative pressure maintainer 300. The suction cup body 100 has multiple suction holes 140 and a vacuum cavity 111. The vacuum cavity 111 is connected to the suction holes 140. The suction holes 140 are used to adsorb workpieces. The connecting pipe 200 is set on the suction cup body 100, and the connecting pipe 200 extends outward from the suction cup body 100. The connecting pipe 200 is used to connect to the vacuum cavity 111. The negative pressure maintainer 300 has a negative pressure cavity 311. The negative pressure cavity 311 is connected to a negative pressure source, and the negative pressure cavity 311 is connected to the vacuum cavity 111 through the connecting pipe 200.
[0053] Regarding the negative pressure chamber 311 of the negative pressure retainer 300, it is used to store a certain amount of negative pressure gas to ensure the strength and stability of the suction force of the suction hole 140. For example, the negative pressure source sequentially passes negative pressure gas through the negative pressure chamber 311 and the vacuum chamber 111 into the suction hole 140, thereby evacuating the air inside the suction hole 140 and creating a negative pressure. The atmospheric pressure outside the suction hole 140 can firmly press the workpiece against the suction cup, thereby achieving the purpose of adsorbing and securing the workpiece.
[0054] A connecting pipe 200 is provided on one side wall of the suction cup body 100. The connecting pipe 200 extends outward from the suction cup body 100 and is connected to the negative pressure retainer 300 at its extended end. The connecting pipe 200 is used to connect the vacuum chamber 111 and the negative pressure chamber 311 to allow air inside the suction hole 140 to be extracted. Thus, by separating the negative pressure chamber 311 from the suction cup body 100 without affecting the suction performance of the suction cup, the height of the suction cup body 100 can be reduced. For example, placing this ultra-thin porous vacuum suction cup on a CNC machine tool 500 can provide clearance for machining workpieces.
[0055] Therefore, the suction cup body 100 of this embodiment is connected to the negative pressure retainer 300 through the connecting pipe 200, so that the negative pressure retainer 300 can be independent of the suction cup body 100, avoiding the stacking of the vacuum chamber 111 and the negative pressure chamber 311, which is equivalent to reducing the height of the negative pressure chamber 311 on the suction cup. Compared with the existing technology, the height of the suction cup can be greatly reduced, and avoidance space can be provided for the machining of the workpiece. The structure is simple, the disassembly and assembly are convenient, the use is convenient, and the practicality is strong.
[0056] Specifically, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The suction cup body 100 includes: a suction cup base 110, a suction cup cover 120 and a vacuum logic valve 130. A vacuum chamber 111 is provided on the suction cup base 110, and the vacuum chamber 111 includes a plurality of independent and parallel vacuum unit chambers 112. The vacuum unit chambers 112 are connected to independent connecting pipes 200 one by one. The vacuum unit chambers 112 are used to communicate with the suction holes 140. The suction cup cover 120 is covered on the suction cup base 110. A plurality of suction holes 140 are opened on the suction cup cover 120, and the vacuum logic valve 130 is installed on the suction holes 140.
[0057] In this embodiment, a vacuum logic valve 130 is installed in a suction hole 140. The function of the vacuum logic valve 130 is that when there is no workpiece on the suction hole 140, the vacuum logic valve 130 is closed to close the suction hole 140, so that the negative pressure gas (actually the suction process, for the purpose of describing the process vividly, it is represented by negative pressure gas) will not escape from the suction hole 140 and be wasted. When there is a workpiece on the suction hole 140, the vacuum logic valve 130 is opened to open the suction hole 140, so that the negative pressure in the suction hole 140 can firmly suck the workpiece.
[0058] In this embodiment, the vacuum chamber 111 includes a plurality of independent and parallel vacuum unit chambers 112, and the vacuum unit chambers 112 are connected to independent connecting pipes 200 one by one. When the amount of negative pressure gas (negative pressure) introduced by the negative pressure source into the negative pressure chamber 311 is constant, each suction hole 140 will evenly distribute the negative pressure in the initial stage. The vacuum unit chamber 112 can make the suction holes 140 on the suction cup body 100 gradually generate negative pressure in different areas. The limited negative pressure gas in the negative pressure chamber 311 is first dispersed to a small part of the suction holes 140, and avoids dispersing the limited negative pressure gas to all the suction holes 140 at one time. In this way, the suction holes 140 have greater suction force in the initial stage of generating negative pressure, thereby improving the negative pressure suction force on the suction holes 140 in the initial stage of adsorption, thereby generating stronger suction force at the initial moment of adsorption of the processed object, and achieving good adsorption effect.
[0059] Specifically, see Figure 3 The vacuum unit chamber 112 includes: a vacuum trunk chamber 115 and a plurality of vacuum flow channels 116 arranged side by side. The vacuum trunk chamber 115 is connected to the connecting pipe 200. The vacuum flow channels 116 are connected to the vacuum trunk chamber 115. A row of suction holes 140 is provided above the vacuum flow channels 116.
[0060] In this embodiment, several side-by-side vacuum channels 116 are connected to the connecting pipe 200 through the vacuum trunk cavity 115. This reduces the length of the fluid flow path, effectively reduces flow resistance, increases fluid velocity, and ensures the stability of the suction force of the suction hole 140. For example, a vacuum cavity 111 is divided into eight independent vacuum unit cavities 112, each of which is connected to the connecting pipe 200. The vacuum unit cavity 112 includes a vacuum trunk cavity 115. Instead of having three vacuum channels 116, each vacuum channel 116 is provided with a row of suction cups above it. Under a certain negative pressure, this ensures that the suction hole 140 has a strong suction force.
[0061] Specifically, see Figure 3 A sealing groove 113 is provided on the top of the suction cup base 110 , and a sealing gasket 114 is embedded in the sealing groove 113 . The sealing gasket 114 is used to seal the suction cup base 110 and the suction cup cover 120 .
[0062] In this embodiment, the suction cup base 110 and the suction cup cover 120 are sealedly connected through a sealing gasket 114. For example, the suction cup base 110 and the suction cup cover 120 can be fixedly connected by multiple bolts, so that the suction cup base 110 and the suction cup cover 120 are sealedly connected, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly and maintenance.
[0063] Specifically, see Figure 2 The negative pressure maintainer 300 includes: a pressure maintaining base 310, a pressure maintaining cover 320, a negative pressure air inlet pipe 330, an active control valve 340 and a negative pressure monitoring gauge 350. The pressure maintaining base 310 has a negative pressure chamber 311. The pressure maintaining cover 320 is sealed and connected to the pressure maintaining base 310. The negative pressure air inlet pipe 330 is connected to the negative pressure chamber 311 and the negative pressure source. The active control valve 340 is connected to the vacuum unit chamber 112 via the connecting pipe 200. The active control valve 340 is used to open and connect several vacuum unit chambers 112 in sequence. The negative pressure monitoring gauge 350 is connected to the pressure maintaining base 310. The negative pressure monitoring gauge 350 is used to monitor the negative pressure state in the negative pressure chamber 311.
[0064] In this embodiment, the pressure-maintaining cover plate 320 is sealed and connected to the pressure-maintaining base 310. The pressure-maintaining base 310 has a negative pressure chamber 311. One end of the negative pressure chamber 311 is connected to the negative pressure source through the negative pressure air inlet pipe 330. The other end of the negative pressure chamber 311 is connected to the vacuum chamber 111 in turn through the movable control valve 340 and the connecting pipe 200. The movable control valve 340 is axially connected to a plurality of connecting pipes 200. The movable control valve 340 is connected to a plurality of vacuum unit chambers 112 in a one-to-one correspondence through the plurality of connecting pipes 200. The movable control valve 340 can be opened and connected in turn to several vacuum unit chambers 112. For example, the vacuum chamber 111 includes 8 vacuum unit chambers 112 arranged side by side. The movable control valve 340 can connect to the first vacuum unit chamber 112, the second vacuum unit chamber 112, the third vacuum unit chamber 112 in turn... until the eighth vacuum unit chamber 112 is connected. When the first vacuum unit cavity 112 is opened and connected, the negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 311 within the suction cup body 100 is concentrated and supplied to the suction holes 140 connected to the first vacuum unit cavity 112, thereby achieving suction through the suction holes 140 in this area. Similarly, all subsequent vacuum unit cavities 112 can be opened in sequence, and the corresponding vacuum unit cavities 112 are filled with negative pressure gas in turn, until all vacuum unit cavities 112 are filled with negative pressure gas.
[0065] This makes the suction hole 140 have a greater suction force in the initial stage of generating negative pressure, improves the negative pressure suction force on the suction hole 140 in the initial stage of adsorption, and thus can generate a stronger suction force at the initial moment of adsorption of the workpiece, and the adsorption effect is good. At the same time, by opening the connected vacuum unit cavities 112 in sequence, it can be ensured that the suction hole 140 corresponding to each vacuum unit cavity 112 has a relatively strong suction force. Then, as long as more vacuum unit cavities 112 are opened, the adsorption area of the suction cup can be theoretically expanded infinitely. It is particularly convenient for processing large plates and is more practical. Alternatively, multiple suction cup bodies 100 can be connected side by side, and the negative pressure retainer 300 of each suction cup body 100 is independently set outside the suction cup body 100. In this way, a large-area suction cup can be achieved by splicing the suction cup body 100, and the suction cup adsorption effect can be automatically controlled by the negative pressure retainer 300.
[0066] Specifically, see Figure 2 The movable control valve 340 includes: a pneumatic valve body 360 and a valve body driving source 370. The pneumatic valve body 360 is arranged in the negative pressure chamber 311. The pneumatic valve body 360 is provided with a ventilation pipe 380 connected to the connecting pipe 200 in a one-to-one correspondence. The valve body driving source 370 is arranged in the negative pressure chamber 311. The valve body driving source 370 is used to drive the pneumatic valve body 360 to open the connecting ventilation pipe 380 in sequence.
[0067] In this embodiment, the valve body driving source 370 is driven and connected to the pneumatic valve body 360. The pneumatic valve body 360 is provided with multiple ventilation pipes 380 in sequence along the axial direction. The ventilation pipes 380 are connected to the connecting pipes 200 one by one. The valve body driving source 370 can drive the piston 362 of the pneumatic valve body 360 to move axially, thereby realizing the sequential opening of the connecting ventilation pipes 380, replacing the design of multiple manual switch valves in the prior art, which is convenient to operate and easy to use.
[0068] Specifically, see Figure 4 The pneumatic valve body 360 includes a valve seat 341, a valve cylinder 361, a piston 362, a valve stem 363, and an exhaust pipe 364. The valve cylinder 361 is disposed in the negative pressure chamber 311. A first air inlet 367 is disposed at one end of the valve cylinder 361. Ventilation pipes 380 are sequentially disposed axially along the other end of the valve cylinder 361. The piston 362 is coupled to the valve cylinder 361. One end of the valve stem 363 is fixedly connected to the piston 362. The other end of the valve stem 363 is connected to a valve body drive source 370. Driven by the valve body drive source 370, the valve stem 363 drives the piston 362 to be axially movable within the valve cylinder 361, thereby sequentially opening and connecting the vent pipes 380. The exhaust pipe 364 is connected to the end of the valve cylinder 361 away from the vent pipe 380 and is used to exhaust the negative pressure chamber 311.
[0069] In this embodiment, the valve seat 341 can be mounted and fixed on the pressure-maintaining base 310. The valve seat 341 is used to fix the valve cylinder 361. A first air inlet 367 is provided at one end of the valve cylinder 361, and a plurality of first air outlet holes 365 are sequentially provided at the other end of the valve cylinder 361. The plurality of first air outlet holes 365 are connected to a plurality of vent pipes 380 in a one-to-one correspondence. The valve body drive source 370 can drive the piston 362 to move axially along the valve cylinder 361. The piston 362, by moving along the valve cylinder 361, sequentially connects to the plurality of vent pipes 380, thereby achieving sequential connection to the plurality of vacuum unit chambers 112, thereby achieving automated control of the pneumatic valve body 360. The valve body drive source 370 can be a cylinder or a ball screw mechanism. For example, the cylinder can drive the valve stem 363 to move axially along the valve cylinder 361, causing the piston 362 to sequentially pass through the plurality of first air outlet holes 365 to sequentially open and connect to the vent pipes 380. The structure is simple and easy to implement.
[0070] After the workpiece is processed, it is necessary to deflate each vacuum unit chamber 112 so that each suction hole 140 no longer generates negative pressure, thereby loosening the workpiece. Therefore, a first exhaust hole 366 can be provided at the end of the valve cylinder 361, and the first exhaust hole 366 is connected to the exhaust pipe 364 to exhaust the negative pressure chamber 311, wherein the exhaust pipe 364 is connected to the external air of the negative pressure retainer 300. For example, when the workpiece needs to be unloaded, the valve body drive source 370 drives the piston 362 to reset, so that the piston 362 moves from the end of the valve cylinder 361 to the side of the valve cylinder 361 close to the first air inlet 367, so that each vent pipe 380 is connected to the exhaust pipe 364, and the negative pressure gas in each vacuum unit chamber 112 is discharged through the exhaust pipe 364.
[0071] Specifically, see Figure 1 The ultra-thin porous vacuum suction cup also includes: a suction cup negative pressure detection component 400, the suction cup negative pressure detection component 400 includes: a detection joint 410, a detection pipe 420 and an air pressure sensor 430, the detection joint 410 is arranged on the surface of the suction cup body 100, the detection pipe 420 is fixed on the inner side of the suction cup body 100, and the detection pipe 420 is connected to the detection joint 410, the air pressure sensor 430 is connected to the detection pipe 420, and the air pressure sensor 430 is used to detect the adsorption state when the suction hole 140 adsorbs the workpiece.
[0072] In this embodiment, when the workpiece is placed on the upper surface of the suction cup body 100, the workpiece can be covered with the detection joint 410. If the adsorption of the workpiece fails, the air pressure sensor 430 can detect the negative pressure when the suction hole 140 adsorbs the workpiece through the detection joint 410, and provide real-time feedback on the adsorption status between the suction hole 140 and the workpiece, which is efficient and accurate.
