Description

Technical Field

[0002] During the production and processing of automobiles, stamping equipment is used to stamp materials. During the stamping process, a suction cup feeding mechanism is used to adsorb and lift the automobile materials.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent CN202322339632.8 discloses a suction cup mechanism for a product loading robot. It includes a connecting seat for connecting to the robot arm. A U-shaped seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting seat, and the same rectangular tube is fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the U-shaped seat. Two inner tubes are slidably fitted inside the rectangular tube, with their opposing ends extending outside the rectangular tube and forming a sealing structure. Two suction cups are embedded and connected at the bottom outer sides of the two inner tubes and the bottom center of the rectangular tube. This solution, through a series of structures, can adsorb and load PCB products. It allows for flexible adjustment of the adsorption and fixing distance of the suction cups on both sides according to different PCB product lengths, avoiding the phenomenon of excessive exposure on both sides due to short suction cups causing instability, and preventing air leakage and loss of adsorption force due to excessive product length. It can ensure stable adsorption while being applicable to PCB products of different lengths, improving applicability and ease of use.

[0025] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details:

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a suction cup loading mechanism for automotive material stamping includes a top plate 1. A control box 11 is mounted on the upper surface of the top plate 1. The top plate 1 facilitates the installation of various components of the suction cup loading mechanism, ensuring the assembly and use of the entire suction cup loading assembly. The control box 11 facilitates the control of the entire suction cup loading mechanism. An air pump is located inside the control box 11, which works in conjunction with the suction cups 3 to facilitate negative pressure adsorption of materials by the suction cups 3. It also includes two adjusting brackets 2, which are slidably connected to the bottom of the top plate 1. Multiple suction cups 3 are evenly distributed on the adjusting brackets 2, allowing for easy position adjustment of the suction cups 3 and facilitating the adsorption and lifting of materials of different lengths. The top plate 1 has multiple air inlets 193 at its bottom, which are connected to the suction cup 3 via air guide pipes 4. The control box 11 has symmetrical suction pipes 12 on both sides, which connect the air inlets 193 to the air pump inside the control box 11. This structure facilitates air pump suction, allowing the suction cup 3 to stably adhere to the automotive materials, and enabling the suction cup 3's loading mechanism to stably lift the automotive materials. The top plate 1 has bidirectional screws 5 at both the front and rear ends of its upper surface. Both bidirectional screws 5 are threadedly connected to two adjusting brackets 2. The bidirectional screws 5 are used to move the two adjusting brackets 2 closer or further apart, facilitating adjustment and use of their positions.

[0028] Working Principle: During use, the entire suction cup 3 loading mechanism is connected to the lifting mechanism. The position of the two adjusting brackets 2 is adjusted using a drive screw, allowing their lengths to better match the materials used in automobile production. Then, the lifting mechanism moves the suction cup 3 loading mechanism to adhere to the surface of the automobile production material. The control system then controls the air pump inside the control box 11, ensuring the suction cup 3 stably adheres to the material. The lifting mechanism then lifts the automobile material to a designated position, and the air pump releases air, causing the suction cup 3 to detach from the material and fall back to its designated location. Compared to existing technologies, this application features symmetrical adjusting brackets 2 on both sides of the bottom of the top plate 1. These brackets allow for adjustment of the length of the entire suction cup 3 loading mechanism, enabling longer suction cups for more stable adsorption of automobile materials. This facilitates lifting the materials to the designated position using the lifting mechanism. Furthermore, the adjusting brackets 2 can be quickly adjusted using a bidirectional screw 5, facilitating operator operation. The overall structure of this suction cup 3 loading mechanism is simple, easy to operate, and convenient for future maintenance and repair.
