[0002] A vacuum suction cup holder is a device used to fix and support vacuum suction cups, usually made of metal. Its main function is to provide a stable platform so that the vacuum suction cup can be accurately attached to the surface of an object, thereby performing various operations such as handling, positioning, and spraying.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN221274532U discloses a vacuum suction cup holder that is easy to adjust. However, when using this suction cup holder, it is impossible to determine the relative position between the suction cup holder and the goods, which causes the suction cup holder to deviate from the position of adsorption on the goods. This makes it easy for the goods to be handled with uneven force, which affects the firmness of the adsorption and greatly reduces the safety of using the suction cup holder.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the suction cup holder in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects in the existing technology and provide a suction cup holder with a positioning function, which improves the safety of using the suction cup holder.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the suction cup holder with positioning function of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A suction cup holder with positioning function includes a mounting frame, on which a plurality of vacuum suction cups are evenly distributed, and the mounting frame is provided with two positioning mechanisms.

[0008] The positioning mechanism includes a translation component and a detection head. The translation component is fixedly connected to the mounting frame. The translation component has a moving end that moves in a direction parallel to the plane of the mounting frame. The detection head is mounted on the moving end. The moving directions of the two moving ends of the translation components are perpendicular to each other.

[0009] Preferably, in order to improve the positioning accuracy between the suction cup holder and the goods, at least one of the translation components has two detection heads on its moving end, and the extension direction of the straight line where the two detection heads are located is perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving end.

[0010] Preferably, in order to make the suction cup holder applicable to goods of different sizes, the translation component includes parallel guide rails and telescopic rods. The guide rails are fixedly connected to the mounting frame, and a cylinder is fixedly connected to the guide rails. One end of the telescopic rod is slidably engaged with the guide rails via a slider, and the other end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder. The detection head is connected to the other end of the telescopic rod.

[0011] Preferably, in order to improve the ease of installation of the detection head, a fixing rod is provided at the end of the telescopic rod that connects to the cylinder. The fixing rod is perpendicular to the telescopic rod and parallel to the plane where the mounting frame is located. The detection heads are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the fixing rod.

[0012] Preferably, in order to improve the stability of the mounting frame, the mounting frame includes mutually perpendicular longitudinal beams and transverse beams, with multiple transverse beams arranged at equal intervals on the longitudinal beams, and the vacuum suction cups arranged at equal intervals on the transverse beams.

[0013] Preferably, in order to facilitate the connection between the suction cup holder and the robotic arm, the longitudinal beam is fixedly connected to a connecting plate for connecting the robotic arm, and the connecting plate is provided with mounting holes and weight reduction holes.

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] The terms "top surface," "bottom surface," and "full surface" are used with reference to the normal operating state of the suction cup holder and are only for the purpose of facilitating the description of this utility model and simplifying the description. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a suction cup holder with positioning function includes a mounting frame 1, on which a plurality of vacuum suction cups 2 are evenly distributed. The mounting frame 1 is provided with two positioning mechanisms. The positioning mechanism includes a translation component 4 and a detection head 3. The translation component 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1. The translation component 4 has a moving end that moves in a direction parallel to the plane of the mounting frame 1. The detection head 3 is mounted on the moving end. The moving directions of the moving ends of the two translation components 4 are perpendicular to each other.

[0025] The aforementioned suction cup holder can be used for handling goods such as glass. In use, the suction cup holder is mounted on a robotic arm, which moves the suction cup holder to pick up and move the goods. Taking the handling of a rectangular glass sheet as an example, the robotic arm moves the suction cup holder to a position directly opposite the glass sheet. Then, the position of the suction cup holder is finely adjusted so that the detection head 3 is aligned with the adjacent two sides of the glass sheet. At this time, the two sides of the suction cup holder are aligned with the two sides of the glass sheet, completing the alignment between the suction cup holder and the glass sheet. Then, the vacuum suction cup 2 is attached to the glass sheet to fix it in place, and finally, the glass sheet is moved. The translation component 4 can adjust the position of the detection head 3 on the suction cup holder, so that the suction cup holder can be used to pick up glass sheets of different sizes, improving the practicality of the suction cup holder.

[0026] Further improvements include, for example Figure 3 and 4 As shown, at least one of the translation components 4 has two detection heads 3 on its moving end, and the extension direction of the straight line where the two detection heads 3 are located is perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving end.

[0027] Specifically, the two detection heads 3 installed on the same translation component 4 are on the same straight line, which is parallel to the side of the mounting frame 1. By aligning the two detection heads 3 with the side of the glass sheet simultaneously, the side of the mounting frame 1 and the side of the glass sheet can be made parallel, thereby improving the alignment accuracy between the suction cup frame and the glass sheet and enhancing the firmness of the suction cup frame in picking up the glass sheet. Compared with existing suction cup frames, the detection heads 3 can realize the alignment operation between the glass sheet and the suction cup frame when picking up the glass sheet, improving the firmness of the adsorption. When placing the glass sheet, the detection heads 3 can also realize the alignment between the upper and lower glass sheets, improving the neatness of the glass sheets after handling and stacking, thereby improving the practicality of the suction cup frame.

[0028] Further improvements include, for example Figure 3 As shown, the translation component 4 includes a guide rail 402 and a telescopic rod 404 that are parallel to each other. The guide rail 402 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1. A cylinder 401 is fixedly connected to the guide rail 402. One end of the telescopic rod 404 is slidably engaged with the guide rail 402 through a slider 403. The other end of the telescopic rod 404 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 401. The detection head 3 is connected to the other end of the telescopic rod 404.

[0029] Specifically, the slider 403 is slidably connected to the guide rail 402, which can guide and support the telescopic rod 404. The cylinder 401 not only supports the telescopic rod 404, but also provides power for the movement of the telescopic rod 404, thereby driving the detection head 3 to move and adjusting the position of the detection head 3. By measuring the size of the goods to be transported by the suction cup frame, the position of the detection head 3 can be preset, thereby improving the accuracy of the alignment between the suction cup frame and the goods.

[0030] Further improvements include, for example Figure 3 As shown, a fixing rod 405 is provided at the end where the telescopic rod 404 connects to the cylinder 401. The fixing rod 405 is perpendicular to the telescopic rod 404 and parallel to the plane of the mounting bracket 1. The detection heads 3 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the fixing rod 405. The fixing rod 405 can be made of aluminum profile, thereby reducing the weight of the fixing rod 405 and increasing its strength. The extension direction of the fixing rod 405 is parallel to the side of the mounting bracket 1. Thus, the positioning between the detection head 3 and the mounting bracket 1 can be completed simply by fixing the detection head 3 to the fixing rod 405 with bolts. Furthermore, the number of detection heads 3 installed can be changed, improving the convenience of installation of the detection head 3.

[0031] Further improvements include, for example Figure 1As shown, the mounting frame 1 includes mutually perpendicular longitudinal beams 103 and crossbeams 102. Multiple crossbeams 102 are arranged at equal intervals on the longitudinal beams 103, and vacuum suction cups 2 are arranged at equal intervals on the crossbeams 102. The mounting frame 1 has two parallel longitudinal beams 103, and multiple crossbeams 102 are parallel to each other and arranged at equal intervals below the longitudinal beams 103 along their extension direction. Vacuum suction cups 2 are arranged at equal intervals on each crossbeam 102. This improves the uniformity of the distribution of the vacuum suction cups 2, thereby enhancing the firmness of the suction cup frame in adhering to goods. The crossbeams 102 and longitudinal beams 103 are connected by bolts, which improves the ease of assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of the mounting frame 1.

[0032] Further improvements include, for example Figure 2 As shown, a connecting plate 101 for connecting a robotic arm is fixedly connected to the longitudinal beam 103. The connecting plate 101 has mounting holes 104 and weight-reducing holes 105. The connecting plate 101 is fixedly connected to the two longitudinal beams 103 by bolts. Bolts can be passed through the mounting holes 104 on the connecting plate 101 to achieve docking of the robotic arm. The weight-reducing holes 105 on the connecting plate 101 can reduce the weight of the connecting plate 101, thereby reducing the load on the robotic arm and reducing the energy consumption of the suction cup frame during operation.

[0033] Further improvements include, for example Figure 1 As shown, both the longitudinal beam 103 and the transverse beam 102 are made of aluminum profiles. Aluminum profiles have the advantages of being lightweight and having high strength. The slots on them also facilitate the fixing of bolts, making the mounting bracket 1 more convenient and flexible to use while maintaining sufficient strength.

[0034] Further improvements include, for example Figure 4 As shown, detection head 3 is a laser sensor. Laser sensors have advantages such as high detection accuracy and fast response speed. By using laser sensors, the accuracy and speed of alignment between the suction cup holder and the goods can be improved, thereby enhancing the performance of the suction cup holder.

Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
