[0002] In steel plate production, when cost or semi-finished plates come off the line, it is necessary to place skids on top of the steel plates in order to facilitate the storage and lifting of steel plates of different specifications or batches. Since the skids are basically placed on pallets, they are packed and delivered to the site in the form of skid piles. Before use, they are taken out after cutting the packing tape. If the skids are to be placed automatically, the skid piles must first be able to be automatically disassembled and the skids must be sorted out from the skid piles in order. Currently, the placement of skids in steel mills relies on manual labor using carts or hand trailers to transport the skids to the steel plates and manually placing the skids on the steel plates. This operation method is labor-intensive, repetitive, and has major safety hazards. The placement and sorting of skids cannot be fully automated. Utility Model Content

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. That is, the embodiments described herein are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and illustrated in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations.

[0022] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] The following combination Figure 1-4 The specific embodiment of the utility model is described. A suction cup device for sorting steel plate skids includes a suction cup mounting box 3, an installation space 4 is formed in the suction cup mounting box 3, a linear sliding bearing 5 is provided in the installation space 4, the linear sliding bearing 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the suction cup mounting box 3, a guide rod 7 is provided for sliding in the linear sliding bearing 5, the guide rod 7 plays a guiding role when the vacuum suction cup body 8 is pressurized, a vacuum suction cup body 8 is provided at one end of the guide rod 7 away from the linear sliding bearing 5, the vacuum suction cup body 8 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 7, the vacuum suction cup body can slide relative to the suction cup mounting box 3 through the guide rod 7 and the linear sliding bearing 5, a wide clamping jaw 13 is provided on the suction cup mounting box 3, the wide clamping jaw 13 is installed and connected to the suction cup mounting box 3, and the wide clamping jaw 13 is used to grab the overturned skids.

[0024] In this embodiment, a suction cup connecting seat 1 is provided on the suction cup mounting box 3, one end of the suction cup connecting seat 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the suction cup mounting box 3 away from the vacuum suction cup body 8, and the other end is connected to a flange 2. The suction cup connecting seat 1 is connected to the robotic arm through the flange 2, and one end of the suction cup mounting seat can be connected to the robotic arm or truss of the industrial robot to realize the fully automated mechanical operation of sucking steel plate pads.

[0025] Preferably, in this embodiment, the guide rod 7 is a T-shaped guide rod 7, and a compression spring 14 is provided between one end of the guide rod 7 and the linear sliding bearing 5. The compression spring 14 is sleeved on the circumferential surface of the guide rod 7, and one end of the compression spring 14 is fixedly connected to the linear sliding bearing 5, and the other end is fixedly connected to the guide rod 7. The compression spring 14 is used to provide a buffer for the mutual approach movement between the suction cup mounting box 3 and the vacuum suction cup body 8 to avoid damage to the pads due to excessive instantaneous movement.

[0026] Furthermore, a stopper 6 is provided at one end of the linear sliding bearing 5 away from the vacuum suction cup body 8 . The stopper 6 is fixedly connected to the linear sliding bearing 5 . The stopper 6 is used to limit the maximum sliding stroke of the guide rod 7 in the linear sliding bearing 5 .

[0027] This embodiment is beneficial in that a proximity sensor 11 is provided on the side of the suction cup mounting box 3 away from the wide clamping jaw 13, and the proximity sensor 11 is fixedly connected to the suction cup mounting box 3. A sensing sheet 12 is provided on the vacuum suction cup body 8, and the sensing sheet 12 is fixedly connected to the vacuum suction cup body 8. The sensing sheet 12 cooperates with the proximity sensor 11 in sensing. When the pre-pressure is too large or the suction cup is over-compressed due to other reasons, an alarm is issued under the induction cooperation of the proximity sensor 11 and the sensing sheet 12, thereby protecting the suction cup from damage.

[0028] Among them, a vacuum generator (not shown) is provided inside the vacuum suction cup body 8. The vacuum generator is an existing technology and can provide vacuum for the vacuum suction cup body 8 to suck the pads. A pneumatic nozzle 10 is provided on the vacuum suction cup body 8. The fixed end of the pneumatic nozzle 10 is fixedly connected to the vacuum suction cup body 8. The blowing end of the pneumatic nozzle 10 faces one side of the vacuum suction cup body 8. Before sucking the pads, the pneumatic nozzle 10 is started to blow along the length direction of the pads to clean up the debris on the end face of the pads to prevent affecting the stability of the suction of the pads.

[0029] Furthermore, one end is open, and a sponge 9 is provided at the open end, and the sponge 9 is located on the side of the vacuum suction cup body 8 away from the guide rod 7. The sponge 9 is fixed to the vacuum suction cup body 8 by mounting bolts. The sponge 9 isolates the interior of the vacuum suction cup body 8 from external debris and impurities to prevent damage to the interior of the equipment during suction. The suction structure of the pad is composed of a vacuum suction cup body 8 and a sponge 9. The size of the vacuum suction cup is slightly smaller than the size of the pad. The body has a built-in large-flow vacuum generator. A vacuum detection hole is provided on the mounting surface, which can be connected to a vacuum pressure gauge. Four exhaust holes are provided on the side to speed up the exhaust speed. Since the surface of the pad is cracked and rough, and there are a large number of joints, ordinary suction cups cannot meet the use requirements. It was found in repeated experiments that when the vacuum flow rate remains unchanged, the suction force on the pad can be greatly improved by reducing the vacuum aperture of the suction cup and greatly increasing the number of adsorption holes. Therefore, the above-mentioned suction cup body and sponge 9 are densely covered with vacuum adsorption holes. After the suction cup contacts the pad, the sponge 9 is compressed to form a sealed cavity, and then the pad is sucked up.

[0030] Preferably, the fixed end of the wide clamping jaw 13 is fixedly connected to the suction cup installation box 3 and is located on a side adjacent to the suction cup installation box 3 and the suction cup connecting seat 1, so as to realize the transfer of the overturned skid.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model:

[0032] The suction cup connecting seat 1 is installed on the mechanical arm or truss of the industrial robot through the flange 2. When sucking the steel plate skid, the suction cup installation box 3 is controlled by the mechanical arm to move downward, so that the vacuum suction cup body 8 comes into contact with the skid. Under the action of vacuum, the skid is tightly fitted with the vacuum suction cup body 8, thereby realizing the automatic disassembly and sorting of the skids;

[0033] Among them, during the downward movement of the vacuum suction cup body 8, after the vacuum suction cup body 8 contacts the skid, the suction cup mounting box 3 continues to move downward to make the guide rod 7 slide in the linear sliding bearing 5. At the same time, the compression spring 14 sleeved on the circumference of the guide rod 7 is compressed. The compression spring 14 can provide a buffer when sucking the skid to avoid damage to the skid. The stopper 6 at the upper end of the linear sliding bearing 5 can limit the maximum sliding stroke of the guide rod 7 to prevent damage to the equipment.

[0034] When the vacuum suction cup body 8 is sucking, the sponge 9 can filter the external debris to prevent it from entering the interior of the equipment and causing damage to the equipment. Since the size of the vacuum suction cup body 8 is slightly smaller than the size of the skid, and multiple suction holes are densely formed on the vacuum suction cup body 8, the vacuum suction cup body 8 can stably suck out the skid, and the automatic disassembly and sorting of the skids can be achieved, which meets the actual working requirements and reduces the labor intensity of employees.

[0035] Before sucking the mat, the pneumatic nozzle 10 works towards the suction end surface of the mat and cleans along the length direction of the mat first, which can clean the debris attached to the mat to avoid affecting the suction of the vacuum suction cup body 8, effectively improving the suction stability of the mat;

[0036] The wide clamping claw 13 is used to grab the overturned skid and transfer the overturned skid;

[0037] The proximity sensor 11 and the induction sheet 12 are used to detect the distance between the suction cup installation box 3 and the vacuum suction cup body 8. The downward pressure and suction height of the installation space 4 can be adjusted by actual grasping to achieve high-precision suction of the pads.

[0038] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] The above content is merely an example and explanation of the structure of the present utility model. Technicians in this technical field may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in a similar manner. As long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined by the claims, they should all fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
