Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum needle suction cylinder technology, specifically a vacuum needle suction cylinder with adjustable oblique needle suction direction. Background Technology

[0002] The industry standard for vacuum suction needles is the straight rod type, namely: cylindrical guide rod type and angled suction needle type, with custom lengths available. In the manufacture of simulated plant leaf molds, simple flat molds are usually the main type. Conventional suction needles can achieve point-to-point automatic suction and release of leaves, but the leaf simulation is not realistic enough, not flowing enough, and rather rigid. To solve these problems, it is difficult to release the leaves into the mold cavity, and there are certain angles and undercuts. Conventional production can only achieve this by manually releasing the leaves. Now, to achieve automated leaf release production, the mold shape has been solved, but there are still difficulties in accurately suctioning and releasing the leaves, making it inconvenient to achieve fully automated production. Therefore, we need to propose a vacuum suction needle cylinder with adjustable angled suction needle direction. Utility Model Content

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention utilizes a combination of a mini cylinder, a corner connector, a mounting base, a hexagonal positioning guide rod, an angled suction pin, and an adjustment assembly.

[0020] It is worth noting that through the coordinated arrangement of the mini cylinder 1, the corner connector 5, the mounting base 7, the hexagonal positioning guide rod 15, the angled suction pin 18, and the adjustment component structure, the linear motion of the mini cylinder is connected to the support rod via a fulcrum, thus becoming: the anti-rod rotates at an angle, and the angle is adjusted by the cylinder stroke. When vacuum suction is performed at the blade fixture position, the angled suction pin is set to a planar state to perform blade suction, and multiple suction pins in multiple cavities can perform group suction actions simultaneously or sequentially. When entering the mold cavity position, the angled suction pin changes to an angled entry, placing the blade into the mold cavity at a suitable angle, achieving precise blade placement.

[0021] Specifically, the adjustment assembly includes: a fixed connecting plate 11 connecting one end of the mounting plate 13, and a rotating pin 12 connected to the end of the fixed connecting plate 11; wherein, the surface of the corner connector 5 is provided with a connecting groove 6, and the surface of the rotating pin 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 6. The surface of the mounting plate 13 is provided with an mounting groove 14, and the surface of the fixed connecting plate 11 is movably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 10.

[0022] In addition, the assembly plate 13 is a structure for assembling the angled suction needle 18, which facilitates the angled suction needle 18 to suck up and release the blade through negative pressure. The fixing plate 11 is a structure for connecting the assembly plate 13. The rotating shaft pin 12 is a structure for connecting the fixing plate 11 to the connecting groove 6, which can movably connect the inside of the corner connector 5. The limiting groove 10 works with the fixing plate 11 to limit and guide, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the angle and orientation of the angled suction needle 18.

[0023] The surface of the assembly plate 13 has an assembly groove 14. The surface of the hexagonal positioning guide rod 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the assembly groove 14. The bottom end of the hexagonal positioning guide rod 15 is connected to a hexagonal anti-detachment plate 16. The bottom end of the hexagonal positioning guide rod 15 is connected to the hexagonal anti-detachment plate 16, and a locking nut 17 is movably installed on the surface of the hexagonal positioning guide rod 15.

[0024] Furthermore, the assembly groove 14 serves to adjust and guide the position of the hexagonal positioning guide rod 15. The hexagonal positioning guide rod 15 is a structure for assembling the angled suction pin 18. The locking nut 17 is a structure for fixing the hexagonal positioning guide rod 15. The hexagonal anti-detachment plate 16 cooperates with the locking nut 17 to limit the position of the hexagonal positioning guide rod 15.

[0025] The mounting base 7 has fixing blocks 9 connected to both sides, and fixing plates 8 connected to the bottom of the fixing blocks 9. The top of the mini cylinder 1 has mounting holes 3, and one side of the mini cylinder 1 has an assembly slot 2. The fixing plate 8 is bolted to the inner wall of the mounting holes 3. The mounting base 7 connects the fixing blocks 9 and the fixing plate 8. The fixing plate 8 connects the mini cylinder 1 and facilitates the limiting of the fixing lever 11. The assembly slot 2 is used for assembling the mini cylinder 1.

[0026] In use, the blades are picked up by the silicone suction nozzle 20 at the end of the connecting end 19. The blades are picked up in a planar manner. The mini cylinder 1 can be extended and retracted to adjust the height of the connecting corner connector 5. This, in conjunction with the rotating shaft pin 12, drives the fixed connecting plate 11 to move along the limiting groove 10. The position of the hexagonal positioning guide rod 15 mounted on the surface of the assembly plate 13 is adjusted, thereby moving the angled suction needle 18 mounted inside the hexagonal positioning guide rod 15. This adjusts the direction of the blade suction needle. Finally, when discharging the blade, it is placed into the mold cavity at a certain angle with an undercut position to ensure accurate blade suction and discharge, achieving fully automated production.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
