Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass manufacturing, in particular to a glass suction device. Background Art

[0002] Glass plays a key role in modern industry, widely used in various fields due to its unique physical and chemical properties. The glass production process involves multiple steps, including loading and unloading finished glass. As a brittle material, glass is easily broken, so care must be taken during handling to avoid impact and improper handling. Using vacuum suction cups for loading and unloading glass is an efficient and safe method widely used in glass production and logistics. Vacuum suction cups create a subatmospheric pressure, generating suction force that allows the cups to adhere tightly to the glass surface, enabling safe handling of the glass. The equipment primarily consists of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant suction cups, a vacuum pump, and a control system. The operation process is as follows: First, ensure the suction cups are clean and inspected; then, activate the vacuum pump to generate negative pressure. Slowly approach the suction cups to the glass surface, ensuring there are no obstacles. Upon contact, the vacuum pressure applies suction to the glass. Once secure adhesion is confirmed, the suction cups are moved using a forklift or robotic arm. Finally, the vacuum pump is turned off, allowing the suction cups to be easily released and safely lowered.

[0003] The advantages of using negative pressure suction cups for loading and unloading glass include high safety, reducing the risk of injury and breakage from manual operation; improved efficiency, faster loading and unloading, and increased production efficiency; and wide applicability, adapting to glass of various shapes and sizes. However, in existing negative pressure suction cups, the negative pressure hose connected to the negative pressure pump is typically plugged vertically directly into the connecting pipe on the suction cup. This can cause the hose to bend during the glass loading and unloading process, affecting the suction force of the suction cup. Repeated bending can also cause fatigue damage to the hose, shortening its service life. Utility Model Content

In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0030] like Figures 1-6 The figure shows a glass suction device comprising a suction cup assembly and a bracket. The suction cup assembly is mounted on the bracket and comprises a suction cup 1, a connecting pipe 3, and a negative pressure hose 8. The connecting pipe 3 is sealedly connected to the suction cup 1. The suction cup 1 is the core component of the device and is made of high-strength flexible materials to ensure good sealing and adsorption capacity. It is also made of high-temperature and chemical-resistant materials to adapt to the high-temperature working environment of freshly processed glass. Its surface is designed in a disc shape, with a larger bottom and a smaller top, to increase the contact area with the glass surface, thereby improving adsorption. The connecting pipe 3 is a hollow metal tube that connects the suction cup 1 and the negative pressure hose 8. The negative pressure hose 8 is responsible for transmitting negative pressure to the suction cup 1 and maintaining the adsorption state. Made of flexible materials, it is easy to operate and move and can withstand a certain level of negative pressure. The connecting pipe 3 is sealed to the suction cup 1 to ensure that there is no air leakage between the negative connecting pipe 3 and the suction cup 1. As can be seen, the negative pressure hose 8 of the utility model needs to be connected to a negative pressure machine.

[0031] The device also includes a connecting pipe 6 and a connecting piece 7. The connecting pipe 6 is designed as a right-angle elbow. The lower end of the connecting pipe 6 is sealed and connected to the connecting pipe 3, and the other end is connected to the negative pressure hose 8 through the connecting piece 7. In this embodiment, the connecting piece 7 is a metal ferrule, and a metal ferrule is used to connect the negative pressure hose 8 and the connecting pipe 6. The ferrule connection does not require complicated welding operations. Compared with the welding connection, the installation process is simpler and faster, and the technical requirements for the installer are relatively low, which can save installation time and labor costs. The setting of the connecting pipe 6 as a right-angle elbow ensures that the negative pressure hose 8 remains horizontal at the interface, effectively avoiding the bending and damage caused by directly plugging the negative pressure hose 8 into the connecting pipe 3 in the prior art, thereby extending its service life, ensuring the stable transmission of negative pressure, and improving the overall working efficiency of the device. The advantage of this device is that by adding a connecting pipe 6, that is, a right-angle elbow, between the negative pressure hose 8 and the connecting pipe 3, the negative pressure hose 8 can be prevented from bending during long-term use, thereby avoiding insufficient negative pressure in the suction cup 1 caused by bending, and the suction cup 1 cannot stably adsorb the glass, which may cause property loss and personal injury. It can further improve the production efficiency of the enterprise, and at the same time greatly increase the service life of the negative pressure hose 8.

[0032] As a further improvement, the present invention also includes a quick-release assembly 5, which further enhances operator convenience and maintenance efficiency when servicing the device. Mounted beneath the connecting tube 6, the assembly 5 allows for quick removal and installation without the need for additional tools. The convenience of the assembly 5 makes routine maintenance and troubleshooting more efficient, reducing downtime after equipment failures and thus avoiding potential losses during production. The assembly 5 includes a connecting cover 500, a mounting ring 501, and a telescopic locking rod. The connecting cover 500 is a cylindrical tube cover. The upper portion of the connecting cover 500 is fixed to the connecting tube 6, and the lower portion is fixed to the mounting ring 501. The inner diameter of the connecting cover 500 of the connecting tube 6 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting tube 6. The mounting ring 501 is annular in shape and is arranged in two layers. The upper and lower mounting rings 501 can be combined to form a complete mounting ring 501. The solid portion of the mounting ring 501 is evenly circumferentially provided with four sliding holes. There are four telescopic locking rods, which slide correspondingly in the four sliding holes. The lower portion of the connecting tube 6 overlaps with the lower portion of the mounting ring 501. The connecting tube 3 consists of a connecting tube body 300 and a locking component. The locking component is located at the upper portion of the connecting tube body 300. The locking component cooperates with the quick-release component 5 to achieve the function of rapid disassembly or installation. As can be seen, the diameter of the circular hole of the mounting ring 501 is larger than the diameter of the locking component. The outer diameter of the connecting tube 6 is closely aligned with the inner diameter of the connecting tube 3 to ensure airtightness. When the operator needs to replace or maintain the negative pressure hose 8, they can simply operate the quick-release component 5 to quickly remove the connecting tube 6, making the entire process smooth and efficient. To do this, align the connecting tube 6 with the connecting hole of the connecting tube 3, insert the connecting tube 6 with the locking component, pull out the telescopic locking rod in the locking component, fit it over the locking component, and then push the telescopic locking rod inward to complete the locking connection between the connecting tube 6 and the connecting tube 3. To release the connection, simply pull out the telescopic locking rod to remove the connecting tube 6 from the connecting tube 3.

[0033] As a further improvement, in order to make the connecting ring inserted in the connecting pipe 3 have a better sealing effect, the present invention also includes a rubber ring 9, there are five rubber rings 9, the cross-section of the rubber ring 9 is a right triangle, and multiple rubber rings 9 are evenly arranged on the connecting pipe 6 and connected to one end of the connecting pipe 3, and the hypotenuse of the cross-section of the rubber ring 9 is flushed toward the lower part of the connecting pipe 6. This arrangement makes it more convenient to insert the connecting pipe 6 into the connecting pipe 3 and has a better sealing effect, thereby enhancing the sealing between the connecting pipe 6 and the connecting pipe 3 and preventing air leakage from affecting the negative pressure of the suction cup 1.

[0034] As a further improvement, a limiting nut 4 is also provided on the connecting pipe 3. The limiting nut 4 is detachably installed on the upper part of the connecting pipe 3 and is located on the lower side of the locking component. The nut is provided to block the locking component to prevent it from falling and to limit the locking component. On the other hand, it is convenient for the suction cup component to be installed on the bracket.

[0035] As a further improvement, in order to enable the telescopic locking rod to automatically perform the locking function, the quick-release component 5 further includes a locking spring 506. There are multiple locking springs 506 and they are correspondingly arranged between the multiple mounting rings 501 and the multiple telescopic locking rods.

[0036] As a further improvement, the sliding hole includes a first sliding hole 502 and a second sliding hole 503, the first sliding hole 502 is connected to the second sliding hole 503 and the first sliding hole 502 is larger than the second sliding hole 503, the first sliding hole 502 is located on the inner side of the mounting ring 501, the first sliding hole 502 is a square hole, the second sliding hole 503 is a round hole, the second sliding hole 503 is located on the outer side of the mounting ring 501 and passes through the side wall of the mounting ring 501; the telescopic locking rod includes a telescopic rod 504 and a locking block 505, the locking block 505 is a small block in the shape of a triangular rhombus, and the locking block 505 is as shown Figure 5 The direction shown is set at one end of the telescopic rod 504, with the locking block 505 movably disposed within the first sliding hole 502. The telescopic rod 504 is movably disposed in the second sliding hole 503 and passes through the second sliding hole 503. The locking component includes a locking fixed block 301 and an unlocking slider 302. The locking fixed block 301 is truncated cone-shaped, smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, with a through hole in the middle and fixed to the upper portion of the connecting pipe 3. The unlocking slider 302 slides on the connecting pipe 3 in the same shape as the locking fixed block 301, but in the opposite direction. It is located between the limit nut 4 and the locking fixed block 301. When the locking block 301 is in the same position as the unlocking slider 302, the telescopic locking rod can be detached from the locking block 301 along the curve of the unlocking slider 302, thereby completing the quick disassembly of the connecting pipe 6.

[0037] As a further improvement, the telescopic locking rod further comprises a stopper 507, which is arranged at one end of the telescopic rod 504 away from the lock block 505. When the quick-release component 5 is stuck, the telescopic locking rod can be manually pulled to separate the connecting pipe 6 from the communicating pipe 3.

[0038] As a further improvement, in order to prevent the device from damaging the glass during the pressing process, a buffer spring 10 is further included. The buffer spring 10 is sleeved on the connecting pipe 3 and is located between the bracket and the suction cup 1.
