Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suction cup technology, specifically a suction cup assembly for a destacking machine. Background Technology

[0002] Depalletizers are suitable for depalletizing and transferring goods placed at fixed points. By depalletizing and transferring neatly stacked goods, individual goods can be easily placed onto a dedicated conveyor belt for transfer.

[0003] To depalletize and transfer goods, depalletizers inevitably need to use suction cup assemblies to pick up and remove the goods. The suction cup assembly consists of a protective shell, a vacuum control valve, and a suction cup. By installing the assembly on the mounting surface of the depalletizer's robotic arm, the suction cup assembly can easily switch between various suction angles. The vacuum control valve is mainly connected to the vacuum pump and the suction cup and is used for vacuum control.

[0004] While existing suction cup assemblies can assist depalletizers in adsorbing and extracting goods, they inevitably have shortcomings in actual use. For example, the lack of a separation mechanism makes it difficult to separate the protective shell. This leads to problems with the vacuum control valve being difficult to maintain without obstruction due to the tight fit and inconvenience of disassembling the protective shell. To avoid such problems, a dedicated suction cup assembly for depalletizers is proposed to solve these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a special suction cup assembly for destacking machines. This solves the problem that the vacuum control valve in the suction cup assembly cannot be easily and unobstructedly repaired when the device lacks a separation mechanism, due to the tight fit and inconvenience of disassembling the protective shell.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a suction cup assembly for a destacking machine, comprising a mounting plate, a vacuum control valve, and a suction cup. The vacuum control valve and the suction cup are respectively mounted on the top and bottom of the mounting plate, and the inlet end of the vacuum control valve and the suction cup are connected by a pipe. A filter cover is installed inside the suction cup by bolts. A protective plate is provided on the top of the vacuum control valve, and a docking plate is fixedly connected to the top of the protective plate by a rectangular tube. Several first nuts are fixedly provided on the top of the mounting plate by slots. A first bolt is threaded inside the first nut, and a second nut is fixedly connected to the top of the first bolt. A short threaded rod is threaded inside the second nut, and a long threaded rod is fixedly connected to the top of the short threaded rod. One end of the long threaded rod passes through and extends to the top of the protective plate, and a nut is threadedly connected to the surface of the long threaded rod and located at the top of the protective plate.

[0007] Preferably, the top of the shielding plate has several through slots that are used in conjunction with the threaded rod.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of both the mounting plate and the protective plate is provided with several weight-reducing grooves that extend to the top.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the docking plate has several bolt docking holes.

[0010] Preferably, the bolt holes are arranged in a circumferential manner. Beneficial effects

[0011] This utility model provides a suction cup assembly specifically for a depalletizer. Compared with existing technologies, it has the following advantages: By placing the vacuum control valve between the mounting plate and the protective plate, and by providing a first bolt, a second nut, a short threaded rod, a long threaded rod, and a nut between the mounting plate and the protective plate, the mounting plate and the protective plate can be easily disassembled and assembled through the above-mentioned cooperation. This allows the vacuum control valve to be separated along with the mounting plate, facilitating unobstructed maintenance by subsequent personnel. This avoids the problem of traditional integrated protective shells that make it difficult to perform unobstructed maintenance of the vacuum control valve. Secondly, a filter cover is installed inside the suction cup, so that when the suction cup adsorbs goods, the filter cover can intercept debris, preventing debris from being sucked into the vacuum control valve.

[0012] Secondly, several weight-reduction grooves are made on the top of the mounting plate and the protective plate, so that the mounting plate and the protective plate can be made lightweight and the amount of materials used in the manufacturing process can be further reduced.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a special suction cup assembly for a destacking machine, including a mounting plate 1, a vacuum control valve 2 and a suction cup 3. The vacuum control valve 2 and the suction cup 3 are respectively installed on the top and bottom of the mounting plate 1, and the inlet end of the vacuum control valve 2 and the suction cup 3 are connected by a pipe. A plurality of bolt docking holes 15 are provided on the top of the docking plate 6, and the plurality of bolt docking holes 15 are arranged in a circumferential manner.

[0019] Among them: In order to prevent the suction cup 3 from sucking in impurities, a filter cover 4 is installed inside the suction cup 3 by bolts;

[0020] Furthermore: To facilitate the separation of the mounting plate 1 and the protective plate 5, so as to allow maintenance personnel to perform unobstructed maintenance on the vacuum control valve 2, a protective plate 5 is provided on the top of the vacuum control valve 2, and a mating plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective plate 5 through a rectangular tube. Several first nuts 7 are fixedly provided on the top of the mounting plate 1 through slots. A first bolt 8 is connected to the internal thread of the first nut 7, and a second nut 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the first bolt 8.
