Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thin plate processing, in particular to a vacuum suction cup tooling for thin plate processing. Background Art

[0002] The vacuum suction cup tooling for thin plate processing is a tooling used to fix the thin plate during processing. It mainly fixes the thin plate by pumping air to make the suction cup produce vacuum adsorption.

[0003] For example, the vacuum suction cup fixture for processing irregularly shaped thin plates disclosed in authorization publication number CN219704270U includes a main mounting plate with pressure plate grooves on both sides, an exhaust pipe fixedly mounted at the front end of the main mounting plate, an exhaust pipe joint fixedly mounted at the front end of the exhaust pipe, and an air pressure display fixedly mounted at the front end of the main mounting plate on one side of the exhaust pipe. By adopting the above technical solution, the utility model has the beneficial effect of being able to suction and fix irregularly shaped thin plates of varying heights.

[0004] Although the above patent can adsorb and fix the positions of special-shaped thin plates of different heights, the method of adjusting the suction cup blocks is relatively cumbersome. As the number of suction cup blocks increases, the adjustment takes more time. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a vacuum suction cup tool for thin plate processing to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A suction cup body, wherein the upper end of the suction cup body is regularly provided with a plurality of guide grooves, each of the guide grooves has a suction nozzle inside, and an adjustment mechanism is provided between the suction nozzle and the guide groove;

[0009] The bottom shell is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the suction cup body. An air outlet valve is connected to the middle of one side of the bottom shell. An air delivery mechanism is provided between the air outlet valve and the bottom shell.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a sealing disk, which is arranged on the middle outer wall of the suction nozzle, and a sealing groove matching the sealing disk is opened on the inner wall of the guide groove, and a spring is arranged between the sealing disk and the guide groove outside the suction nozzle;

[0011] Preferably, an air hole is provided between the guide groove and the bottom shell, and the bottom end of the suction nozzle is movably connected to the air hole;

[0012] Preferably, the gas delivery mechanism includes a connecting pipe 1, which is arranged side by side inside the bottom shell, and a plurality of connecting pipes 2 are arranged transversely between the connecting pipes 1. The air inlet end of the air outlet valve is connected to the air outlet end of the connecting pipe 1 in the middle, and the top ends of the plurality of connecting pipes 1 are provided with a cannula connected to the air hole.

[0013] Preferably, an air inlet valve is provided at one end of the bottom shell close to the air outlet valve;

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] 1. This vacuum suction cup tooling for thin plate processing is used in conjunction with a guide groove, a suction nozzle, a sealing disk, a sealing groove and a spring. When the thin plate is adsorbed, the thin plate is placed on the upper end of the suction cup body, and the bottom end of the thin plate is supported by a number of springs. When there is a concave-convex structure at the bottom end of the thin plate, the suction nozzle in the concave part is lifted by the spring and abuts against the concave part, and the protruding suction nozzle drives the sealing disk to compress the spring, so that the suction nozzle retracts downward into the guide groove. In this way, it can be adaptively adjusted when lifting without manual height adjustment.

[0017] 2. This is a vacuum suction cup tooling for thin plate processing, which is used in conjunction with a bottom shell, connecting pipe 1, connecting pipe 2 and an insert pipe. The device is provided with a bottom shell below the suction cup body, and connecting pipe 1 and connecting pipe 2 are arranged vertically and horizontally inside the bottom shell. Connecting pipe 1 and connecting pipe 2 are connected to each other, and an insert pipe connected to the air hole is provided at the upper end of connecting pipe 1. In this way, when the external vacuum pump is running, since gas is transported through regularly arranged pipes, unnecessary space is saved, the transport path is shortened, and the corresponding speed of the suction nozzle during adsorption is faster.
