[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0021] Design of special vacuum suction cup

[0022] Design of special vacuum cup positioning part - such as Figure 2 As shown (dimensions in mm)

[0023] 1) According to the parts drawing, such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, there are two countersunk holes with a size of 5.1mm + 0.10mm x 3.5mm + 0.10mm on the bottom surface of part 1. This plane and the two countersunk holes serve as the positioning reference for part machining.

[0024] 2) Make your own special vacuum cup 3. Figure 2 As shown,

[0025] The dedicated vacuum suction cup 3 is made of aluminum alloy and has an overall dimension of 100mm×100mm×30mm. An exhaust channel 4 is provided at the center, with an exhaust pipe interface 5 leading out from the side. The exhaust pipe interface 5 is connected to an external vacuum exhaust pipeline. According to the size of the part 1 blank, a ø92mm×2.5mm annular groove 6 is designed, and two ø5.1mm×3mm bosses 7 are machined according to the size of the countersunk position on the bottom surface of the part to position the part blank 1. Exhaust grooves 8 are provided within the outer annular groove 6, avoiding the two positioning bosses 7; the exhaust grooves 8 are evenly distributed, which is conducive to uniform force on the part blank during vacuuming, and the part blank is stably and firmly adsorbed on the vacuum suction cup.

[0026] How to use a special vacuum suction cup - such as Figure 1 shown.

[0027] Place a ø3mm diameter solid silicone rubber sealing strip 2 for CNC vacuum cups in the peripheral ring groove 6. Align the two reference holes on the blank with the two bosses 7 on the dedicated vacuum cup 3. Place the blank steadily on the sealing strip 2. Start the vacuum pump to firmly fix the blank on the dedicated vacuum cup 3. You can then begin milling the part.

[0028] The purpose of this utility model is to simply, stably and reliably clamp the blank of the part and play a positioning role. The utility model designs a vacuum suction cup that can effectively and conveniently perform positioning and clamping of thin-walled resin material parts during the development stage of new products.
