Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicone suction cup technology, and in particular to an automated silicone suction cup for handling. Background Technology

[0002] A silicone suction cup is a tool made of silicone material with adsorption function. In automated handling systems, silicone suction cups are usually used as actuators that come into direct contact with the objects being handled. The soft material properties of silicone suction cups allow them to adapt to objects of different shapes and surface roughness, thus expanding the applicability of automated handling systems.

[0003] Existing automated handling silicone suction cups typically have a connector glued to the top for connecting the suction cup to other handling components. However, this bonding method is relatively weak. When the suction cup is handling an object, the weight of the object and the suction cup itself exerts significant pressure on the connection point. Due to the limited strength of the adhesive connection, the connection is prone to loosening under continuous gravity, which can reduce the suction capacity of the suction cup and increase the risk of the object falling during handling. This reduces both the effectiveness and efficiency of the automated handling silicone suction cup.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to propose an automated silicone suction cup for handling in order to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing automated handling silicone suction cups typically have a connector glued to their top for connecting the suction cup to other handling components. However, this glued connection is often ineffective and prone to loosening, which weakens the suction capacity of the silicone suction cup and increases the risk of objects falling during handling. This reduces both the effectiveness and efficiency of the automated handling silicone suction cup. Therefore, this invention proposes an automated handling silicone suction cup.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automated handling silicone suction cup, comprising: a suction cup body and a connector, wherein an auxiliary mechanism is provided on the suction cup body;

[0007] The auxiliary mechanism includes an annular groove, an auxiliary block, and two arc-shaped blocks. An annular block is fixedly fitted inside the annular groove. The top of the auxiliary block has four placement holes. A locking rod is movably fitted inside each placement hole. A locking groove is opened at the bottom of each locking rod. Both ends of one of the arc-shaped blocks have locking holes, and both ends of the other arc-shaped block are fixed with locking blocks.

[0008] Preferably, the connector is adhesively attached to the inside of the suction cup body near the top, the annular groove is formed at the top of the suction cup body, and the auxiliary block is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the connector.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom end of each of the levers extends through the top of the annular block, and the tops of both arc-shaped blocks are in contact with the bottom of the annular block.

[0010] Preferably, one of the arc-shaped blocks is movably engaged between the interiors of two of the slots, and the other arc-shaped block is movably engaged between the interiors of the other two slots.

[0011] Preferably, the two ends of one of the arc-shaped blocks are in contact with the two ends of the other arc-shaped block, and each of the locking blocks is movably locked inside each locking hole.

[0012] Preferably, the suction cup body includes a silicone base layer, and a reinforcing layer is provided on the top of the silicone base layer.

[0013] Preferably, a heat insulation layer is provided on the top of the reinforcing layer, and a wear-resistant outer layer is provided on the top of the heat insulation layer.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, by setting an auxiliary mechanism, the connection effect between the silicone suction cup and the connector can be improved. This not only improves the adsorption capacity of the silicone suction cup, but also reduces the risk of objects falling during transportation. This improves both the effect and efficiency of the automated transportation silicone suction cup. With the cooperation of the locking hole and the locking block, the two arc-shaped blocks can be fixed together. With the action of the annular groove, the annular block can be fixed in a fixed position.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the structural strength of the suction cup body can be enhanced by the reinforcing layer, preventing it from cracking or deforming due to external forces during transportation. The heat insulation layer can reduce the impact of external high temperature on the internal structure and adsorption performance of the suction cup body, ensuring that the suction cup body can still work normally at high temperatures.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0028] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides an automated handling silicone suction cup, including: a suction cup body 1 and a connector 2, with an auxiliary mechanism 3 provided on the suction cup body 1;

[0029] The auxiliary mechanism 3 includes an annular groove 301, an auxiliary block 303, and two arc-shaped blocks 307. An annular block 302 is fixedly fitted inside the annular groove 301. The top of the auxiliary block 303 has four placement holes 304, and a locking rod 305 is movably fitted inside each placement hole 304. Each locking rod 305 has a locking groove 306 at its bottom. One arc-shaped block 307 has locking holes 308 at both ends, and the other arc-shaped block 307 has locking blocks 309 fixed at both ends. The connector 2 is adhesively connected to the inside of the suction cup body 1 near the top. The annular groove 301 is located at the top of the suction cup body 1. The auxiliary block 303 is fixedly fitted onto the outer surface of the connector 2. The bottom of each locking rod 305... The top of the two arc-shaped blocks 307 is movable through the top of the circular block 302, and the top of the two arc-shaped blocks 307 is in contact with the bottom of the circular block 302. One arc-shaped block 307 is movably engaged between the interiors of two slots 306, and the other arc-shaped block 307 is movably engaged between the interiors of the other two slots 306. The two ends of one arc-shaped block 307 are respectively in contact with the two ends of the other arc-shaped block 307. Each locking block 309 is movably engaged inside each locking hole 308. The suction cup body 1 includes a silicone base layer 101, a reinforcing layer 102 is provided on the top of the silicone base layer 101, a heat insulation layer 103 is provided on the top of the reinforcing layer 102, and a wear-resistant outer layer 104 is provided on the top of the heat insulation layer 103.

[0030] The effect is that when it is necessary to remove the connector 2 from the suction cup body 1, the two locking holes 308 and the prepared tool are used to press the two locking ends on each locking block 309, causing the two locking ends on each locking block 309 to bend and deform. Then, a force is applied to each of the two arc-shaped blocks 307, causing the two arc-shaped blocks 307 to move in opposite directions. At this time, the two arc-shaped blocks 307 moving in opposite directions will cause the two locking blocks 309 to move out of the corresponding locking holes 308. When all the locking blocks 309 have completely moved out of their corresponding locking holes 308, the two arc-shaped blocks 307 have also moved out of their corresponding locking slots 306. Then, the two arc-shaped blocks 307 are removed, and the four locking rods 305 are moved out of their corresponding placement holes 304. At this point, the four moving locking rods 305 will separate from the ring block 302. Then, using the prepared tools, the connector 2 is moved out of the suction cup body 1. The moving connector 2 will then move the auxiliary block 303 within it. When it is necessary to install the connector 2 on the suction cup body 1, first use the adhesive suitable for the suction cup body 1 and the connector 2 to bond the connector 2 to the appropriate position on the suction cup body 1. Then, simply reverse the above steps. With the help of the silicone base layer 101, the suction cup body 1 can fit tightly against the surface of the object being adsorbed, forming a good seal and improving the adsorption force of the suction cup body 1. With the help of the reinforcing layer 102, the suction cup body 1 can be provided with additional strength, making it less prone to deformation or breakage when subjected to tensile force, thus ensuring the structural integrity of the suction cup body 1. With the help of the heat insulation layer 103, external heat can be blocked from being transferred to the interior of the suction cup body 1, protecting the internal structure of the suction cup body 1 and preventing performance degradation, deformation, or even damage to the suction cup body 1 due to high temperature. This ensures that the suction cup body 1 can still maintain good adsorption performance in high temperature environments. With the help of the wear-resistant outer layer 104, some of the impact force on the suction cup body 1 can be dispersed, reducing damage to the suction cup body 1 and improving its durability.

[0031] Working principle: When it is necessary to detach the connector 2 from the suction cup body 1, firstly, using the two locking holes 308 and the prepared tool, press the two locking ends on each locking block 309, causing the two locking ends on each locking block 309 to bend and deform. Then, apply a force to each of the two arc-shaped blocks 307, causing the two arc-shaped blocks 307 to move in opposite directions. At this time, the two arc-shaped blocks 307 moving in opposite directions will cause both locking blocks 309 to move out of the corresponding locking holes 308. When all blocks 309 are completely removed from their corresponding slots 308, the two arc-shaped blocks 307 are also removed from their corresponding slots 306. Then, the two arc-shaped blocks 307 are removed, and the four locking rods 305 are removed from their corresponding placement holes 304. At this point, the four moving locking rods 305 will separate from the ring block 302. Then, using the prepared tools, the connector 2 is removed from the suction cup body 1. The moving connector 2 will then move the auxiliary block 303 within it. When it is necessary to install the connector 2 on the suction cup body 1, first use the adhesive suitable for the suction cup body 1 and the connector 2 to bond the connector 2 to the appropriate position on the suction cup body 1. Then, simply reverse the above steps. With the help of the silicone base layer 101, the suction cup body 1 can fit tightly against the surface of the object being adsorbed, forming a good seal and improving the adsorption force of the suction cup body 1. With the help of the reinforcing layer 102, the suction cup body 1 can be provided with additional strength, making it less prone to deformation or breakage when subjected to tensile force, thus ensuring the structural integrity of the suction cup body 1. With the help of the heat insulation layer 103, external heat can be blocked from being transferred to the interior of the suction cup body 1, protecting the internal structure of the suction cup body 1 and preventing performance degradation, deformation, or even damage to the suction cup body 1 due to high temperature. This ensures that the suction cup body 1 can still maintain good adsorption performance in high temperature environments. With the help of the wear-resistant outer layer 104, some of the impact force on the suction cup body 1 can be dispersed, reducing damage to the suction cup body 1 and improving its durability.

[0032] Among them, the suction cup body 1 is a silicone suction cup.

[0033] Among them, the silicone base layer 101 is made of silicone material, the reinforcing layer 102 is made of glass fiber material, the heat insulation layer 103 is made of aerogel material, and the wear-resistant outer layer 104 is made of polyurethane material.

[0034] Among them, the buckle 309 is similar to the buckle on a backpack strap.

Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
