Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of suction devices, and in particular to a suction component and a suction device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, when modules are put into boxes, clamps corresponding to the modules are designed to fix the modules in a grabbing manner for placement into the boxes.

[0003] The module placement method usually uses a cantilever crane, robot, or three-axis linkage mechanism with a gripper corresponding to the product. After the gripper mechanism is extended into the corresponding hole of the module end plate, the module is lifted and finally placed into the box. When using the gripper method to place the module into the box, a relatively large space is required inside the box to ensure that the gripper does not interfere with the box during placement. However, with the increasing requirements for products and the higher energy density per unit volume, designers will eventually reduce the gap between the module and the box, making it impossible to place the module into the box using the gripper. In addition, as the module length is designed to be longer, the module will sag in the middle during the process of being clamped and placed into the box with the gripper, which increases the safety risk of placing the module into the box. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this application is to provide a suction component and a suction device, which can avoid interference with the box body during the box-entry process and can adapt to modules of different lengths.

The vacuum extraction path extends to both ends of the mounting device to form an access port and multiple access ports, and the sponge suction cup is provided with multiple suction cup openings that are directly opposite to the access ports.

[0007] Using the above technical solution, a sponge suction cup is used to attract the module, which is different from the clamping claw. The sponge suction cup absorbs one side of the module and does not need to protrude from the module. It does not require a relatively large space in the box to avoid interference when entering the box. There are multiple suction cup openings on the sponge suction cup, which attracts at various positions of the module and is suitable for longer modules to avoid sagging in the middle of the module.

[0008] According to the above technical solution, the installation device includes an upper cover plate and a lower cover plate. The upper cover plate has a protruding edge, the edge of the upper cover plate abuts against the lower cover plate, and the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are combined to form a vacuum chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, the inlet and the outlet are respectively arranged on the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate, and the sponge suction cup is connected to the lower cover plate.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, the size of the suction cup opening is larger than the receiving port, and the receiving port is arranged inside the suction cup opening.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, the first suction port is rectangular, the second suction port is strip-shaped, the size of the second suction port is smaller than the first suction port, and the second suction port is opened along the width direction of the sponge suction cup.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, the upper cover is provided with a first fixing hole, the lower cover is provided with a second fixing hole corresponding to the first fixing hole, and the sponge suction cup is provided with a fixing avoidance hole corresponding to the second fixing hole.

[0014] Furthermore, a first connection hole is formed on the upper cover plate, and a second connection hole corresponding to the first connection hole is formed on the lower cover plate.

[0015] Using the above technical solution, the first fixing hole and the first connecting hole are both provided on the extension, the outer circle of the extension is provided along the edge of the upper cover plate, and the inner circle of the extension protrudes toward the inner side of the upper cover plate along the outer edges of the first fixing hole and the first connecting hole.

[0016] According to the above technical solution, a recessed explosion-proof valve avoidance position is provided on the surface of the lower cover plate opposite to the upper cover plate, and first explosion-proof valve mounting holes are provided on both sides of the explosion-proof valve avoidance position on the lower cover plate.

[0032] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a suction assembly includes a mounting device 1 and a sponge suction cup 2. The sponge suction cup 2 is mounted on the mounting device 1. A vacuum extraction path is provided in the mounting device 1. The vacuum extraction path extends to both ends of the mounting device 1 to form an access port 111 and multiple access ports. The sponge suction cup 2 is provided with multiple suction cup openings 21 that are opposite to the access ports.

[0034] The design of multiple suction cup ports 21 enables multi-point suction of the module, forming a larger contact area, effectively enhancing suction stability, and preventing the module from tilting or sagging due to gravity or external forces during the suction process. Multiple suction cup ports 21 can generate greater suction force through the vacuum extraction path, can adapt to modules of different weights, and meet the needs of different production scenarios. By adjusting the number and position of the suction cup ports 21, it can effectively adapt to modules of different shapes and sizes, achieve precise suction, and improve production efficiency. Multi-point suction can effectively prevent the module from accidentally falling off during the suction process, reduce production risks, and improve product safety.

[0035] Further, if Figures 3 and 4 As shown, the mounting device 1 includes an upper cover plate 11 and a lower cover plate 12. The upper cover plate 11 has a protruding edge 112. The edge 112 of the upper cover plate 11 abuts against the lower cover plate 12. The upper cover plate 11 and the lower cover plate 12 are enclosed to form a vacuum chamber. The inlet 111 and the outlet are respectively provided on the upper cover plate 11 and the lower cover plate 12, and the sponge suction cup 2 is connected to the lower cover plate 12.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the inlet port on the lower cover 12 includes a first inlet port 121 and a second inlet port 122. The size of the first inlet port 121 is smaller than that of the second inlet port 122. There are two first inlet ports 121 and two second inlet ports 122, and they are symmetrically arranged about the inlet 111. The two first inlet ports 121 are arranged between the two second inlet ports 122.

[0037] The upper cover plate 11 and the lower cover plate 12 together form a vacuum chamber, and a vacuum extraction path is formed from the access port 111, the vacuum chamber to the access port, which can effectively form a vacuum environment, thereby enhancing the sealing of the suction component and improving the suction effect.

[0038] The symmetrical arrangement of the first and second ports 121, 122, with the smaller first port 121 located in the center, creates a suction force in the center of the module, creating a stable support point. This is particularly important for longer modules, as it effectively prevents bending, sagging, or deformation due to gravity or external forces during the suction process, ensuring stability and safety.

[0039] Further, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the suction cup opening 21 is larger than the connection port, which is located within the suction cup opening 21. When the suction cup is attached to an object, the edge of the suction cup opening 21 fits tightly against the object, forming a sealed space and enhancing the suction effect. The larger suction cup opening 21 increases the contact area between the suction cup and the object's surface, thereby increasing the suction area and improving the suction strength. This effectively prevents the suction cup from falling off during the suction process, especially on objects with smooth surfaces and low friction coefficients.

[0040] Furthermore, the suction cup port 21 includes two first suction ports 211 and two second suction ports 212 , the two second suction ports 212 are located between the two first suction ports 211 , the two first suction ports 211 and the two second suction ports 212 are symmetrically arranged on the sponge suction cup 2 , and the access port 111 is located between the two second suction ports 212 .

[0041] Furthermore, the first suction port 211 is rectangular, the second suction port 212 is strip-shaped, the size of the second suction port 212 is smaller than the first suction port 211 , and the second suction port 212 is opened along the width direction of the sponge suction cup 2 .

[0042] The two first suction ports 211 and the two second suction ports 212 are symmetrically arranged, which enables the suction cup to maintain balance when sucking objects and is not prone to tilting or shifting, thereby improving the suction stability.

[0043] The second suction port 212 is located between the two first suction ports 211, which can more firmly absorb objects and prevent the suction cup from slipping. The second suction port 212 is opened along the width direction of the sponge suction cup 2, that is, Figure 7 The up and down directions in the suction cup make it possible to achieve more stable adsorption and adapt to objects of different shapes.

[0044] The first suction port 211 is rectangular, and the second suction port 212 is strip-shaped. This shape design can effectively increase the contact area between the suction cup and the surface of the object, thereby improving the adsorption force.

[0045] Furthermore, a first fixing hole 1121 is provided on the upper cover plate 11, a second fixing hole 123 corresponding to the first fixing hole 1121 is provided on the lower cover plate 12, and a fixing avoidance hole 22 corresponding to the second fixing hole 123 is provided on the sponge suction cup 2. The bolt passes through the first fixing hole 1121 and the second fixing hole 123, and protrudes from the fixing avoidance hole 22 to determine the relative positions of the upper cover plate 11, the lower cover plate 12 and the sponge suction cup 2.

[0046] Furthermore, a first connection hole 1122 is opened on the upper cover plate 11, and a second connection hole 124 corresponding to the first connection hole 1122 is opened on the lower cover plate 12. Bolts pass through the first connection hole 1122 and the second connection hole 124 to achieve the connection between the upper cover plate 11 and the lower cover plate 12.

[0047] Furthermore, Figure 3 As shown, the first fixing hole 1121 and the first connection hole 1122 are both provided on the extension 112. The outer ring of the extension 112 is provided along the edge of the upper cover plate 11, and the inner ring of the extension 112 protrudes toward the inner side of the upper cover plate 11 along the outer edges of the first fixing hole 1121 and the first connection hole 1122. Specifically, the outer ring of the extension 112 is rectangular and flush with the edge of the cover plate, while the inner ring of the extension 112 has an arc, which points to the inner side of the upper cover plate 11 at the first fixing hole 1121 and the first connection hole 1122.

[0048] The inner ring of extension 112 protrudes toward the inside of upper cover plate 11 along the outer edges of first fixing hole 1121 and first connection hole 1122, further strengthening the area around first fixing hole 1121 and first connection hole 1122, enabling it to withstand greater pressure. This effectively prevents gas leakage between first fixing hole 1121 and first connection hole 1122, improving sealing performance and ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0049] Further, if Figure 5 As shown, a recessed explosion-proof valve avoidance position 125 is provided on the side of the lower cover plate 12 opposite to the upper cover plate 11, and first explosion-proof valve mounting holes 126 are provided on both sides of the explosion-proof valve avoidance position 125 on the lower cover plate 12. A second explosion-proof valve mounting hole 1123 corresponding to the first explosion-proof valve mounting hole 126 is provided on the upper cover plate 11. The second explosion-proof valve mounting hole 1123 is provided on the extension 112, and the inner circle of the extension 112 protrudes toward the inner side of the upper cover plate 11 along the outer edge of the second explosion-proof valve mounting hole 1123.

[0050] The explosion-proof valve clearance 125 on the lower cover plate 12 provides a clearance space. When the internal pressure is too high, the explosion-proof valve can open smoothly, releasing the pressure and effectively preventing the occurrence of explosion accidents. The corresponding design of the first explosion-proof valve mounting hole 126 and the second explosion-proof valve mounting hole 1123 ensures the precise installation of the explosion-proof valve, allowing the explosion-proof valve to operate normally and achieve the desired explosion-proof effect.

[0051] The inner circle of Yanbian 112 protrudes toward the inner side of the upper cover plate 11 along the outer edge of the second explosion-proof valve mounting hole 1123, effectively enhancing the strength around the second explosion-proof valve mounting hole 1123, enabling it to withstand the pressure generated when the explosion-proof valve is opened, and avoiding deformation or breakage around the mounting hole.

[0052] A suction device includes the above-mentioned suction component and also includes a vacuum generator, which is connected to the access port 111. The vacuum generator provides a vacuum environment for the suction component. Preferably, for example, the vacuum generator in the sponge suction cup 2 suction mechanism of the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN208616896U can be selected. This example is only used to illustrate that the vacuum generator is a conventional technical means in this field.

[0053] Furthermore, the suction component also includes a driving device, which is connected to the vacuum generator. The driving device drives the vacuum generator connection to move along three directions perpendicular to each other. Specifically, the driving device only needs to drive the vacuum generator connection to move along three orthogonal directions. A cantilever crane, a robot or a three-axis linkage mechanism can be selected.

[0054] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model.
