Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suction cup technology, specifically to a movable suction cup device. Background Technology

[0002] After flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) are punched and stamped into individual products, they need to be picked up and transferred to a material box using a suction cup device. Because the layout of individual products is affected by their shape and utilization rate, the layout after punching and stamping is often inconsistent with the regular layout of the material box. This causes the products picked up by the suction cup to not fall directly and accurately into the corresponding slots on the material box, requiring additional transfer processes or manual adjustments, thus reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a movable suction cup device that can realize the precise transportation and feeding of materials, reduce the process of product transfer and the time for manual adjustment, and improve production efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A movable suction cup device includes a mounting frame, a driving component, a movable limiting component, and multiple movable suction cup groups. The driving component is disposed on the mounting frame, and the movable suction cup groups are movably connected to the mounting frame. Each pair of adjacent movable suction cup groups is connected to the movable limiting component. One movable suction cup group located at the first end is connected to the output end of the driving component and can move relative to the mounting frame under the drive of the driving component. At the same time, under the action of the movable limiting component, it sequentially drives the other movable suction cup groups to move relative to the mounting frame, so as to adjust the spacing between the multiple movable suction cup groups.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When adsorbing products, the spacing between multiple movable suction cup groups is set according to the arrangement spacing of the products after removal, so as to facilitate the adsorption of products by the movable suction cup groups. After the movable suction cup groups adsorb products to the top of the material box, the driving component drives the first movable suction cup group to move. After the movable suction cup group moves to a certain length, it will drive the next movable suction cup group to move under the action of the moving limiting component. When the next movable suction cup group moves to the longest position of the moving limiting component, it will drive the next movable suction cup group to move, and so on, until all the movable suction cup groups have moved to the maximum length of the moving limiting component. At this time, the distribution spacing between multiple movable suction cup groups is the same as the arrangement spacing of each material slot on the material box. The suction cup device moves down as a whole, so that the products on the multiple movable suction cup groups can be placed one by one into the multiple material slots. Therefore, this suction cup device can achieve precise material transportation and feeding, reduce the process of product transfer and the time for manual adjustment, improve production efficiency, and reduce the redesign and manufacturing of material boxes, thus saving costs.

[0006] The aforementioned movable suction cup device has a mounting bracket with a guide rail, on which multiple sliders are slidably connected, and multiple movable suction cup groups are sequentially disposed on multiple sliders.

[0007] The aforementioned movable suction cup device includes a limiting rod and limiting blocks connected to both ends of the limiting rod, with the two limiting blocks respectively disposed within two adjacent sliders.

[0008] In the aforementioned movable suction cup device, the slider has a through hole on its side, and the limiting rod is movably inserted into the through hole. The inner diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the limiting rod, and the inner diameter of the through hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the limiting block.

[0009] The aforementioned movable suction cup device includes a driving component comprising an air pump and an air rod. The air pump is mounted on the mounting frame, and one end of the air rod is connected to the air pump, while the other end is connected to a slider located at the head end.

[0015] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, with reference to Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides a movable suction cup device, including a mounting frame 100, a driving component 200, a movable limiting component 300, and multiple movable suction cup groups 400. The driving component 200 is mounted on the mounting frame 100. The movable suction cup groups 400 are movably connected to the mounting frame 100, and a movable limiting component 300 is connected between each pair of adjacent movable suction cup groups 400. One movable suction cup group 400 located at the first end is connected to the output end of the driving component 200 and can move relative to the mounting frame 100 under the drive of the driving component 200. At the same time, under the action of the movable limiting component 300, it sequentially drives other movable suction cup groups 400 to move relative to the mounting frame 100, so as to adjust the spacing between the multiple movable suction cup groups 400.

[0016] When this device adsorbs product 600, the spacing between the multiple movable suction cup groups 400 is set according to the arrangement spacing of product 600 after being pulled out, so as to facilitate the adsorption of product 600 by the movable suction cup groups 400. After the movable suction cup group 400 adsorbs the product 600 to the top of the material box, the driving component 200 drives the first movable suction cup group 400 located at the first end to move. After the movable suction cup group 400 moves to a certain length, it will drive the next movable suction cup group 400 to move under the action of the movable limiting component 300. When the next movable suction cup group 400 moves to the longest position of the movable limiting component 300, it will drive the next movable suction cup group 400 to move, and so on, until all the movable suction cup groups 400 have moved to the maximum length of the movable limiting component 300. At this time, the distribution spacing between the multiple movable suction cup groups 400 is the same as the arrangement spacing of each material slot on the material box. The suction cup device moves down as a whole, so that the products 600 on the multiple movable suction cup groups 400 can be placed one by one into the multiple material slots. Therefore, this suction cup device can achieve precise material transportation and feeding, reduce the process of product transfer at 600 and the time for manual adjustment, improve production efficiency, and reduce the redesign and manufacturing of material boxes, thus saving costs.

[0017] It is understandable that a mobile suction cup assembly 400 may include one suction cup or multiple suction cups, for example... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a movable suction cup assembly 400 includes two suction cups, the specific number of which can be adjusted according to actual production needs. Further, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3The mounting bracket 100 is equipped with a guide rail 110, on which multiple sliders 500 are slidably connected. Multiple movable suction cup assemblies 400 are sequentially arranged on the sliders 500. When the driving component 200 starts working, the sliders 500 can slide along the guide rail 110, providing a guiding function, so that the spacing between the multiple movable suction cup assemblies 400 can be adjusted in one direction to precisely adjust the spacing between the movable suction cup assemblies 400. Further, the movable limiting component 300 includes a limiting rod 310 and limiting blocks 320 connected to both ends of the limiting rod 310. The two limiting blocks 320 are respectively arranged in two adjacent sliders 500. The side of the slider 500 has a through hole, and the limiting rod 310 is movably inserted into the through hole. The inner diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the limiting rod 310, and the inner diameter of the through hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the limiting block 320. Furthermore, the drive unit 200 includes a pneumatic pump 210 and a pneumatic rod 220. The pneumatic pump 210 is mounted on the mounting bracket 100, and one end of the pneumatic rod 220 is connected to the pneumatic pump 210, while the other end is connected to a slider 500 located at the head end.

[0018] When the pneumatic pump 210 starts working, the pneumatic rod 220 first drives one of the sliders 500 at the beginning to move. When the slider 500 moves, the limiting block 320 inside it abuts against the inside. The limiting rod 310 connected to the limiting block 320 will slide in the through hole of the next slider 500. When the other limiting block 320 connected to the limiting rod 310 abuts against the next slider 500, the slider 500 at the beginning can be considered to have moved to the longest position of the limiting rod 310. At this time, the pneumatic rod 220 continues to push the slider 500 at the beginning to move, which will drive the second slider 500 to move, and so on, until all the moving suction cup groups 400 have moved to the longest position of the limiting rod 310. The spacing between the multiple moving suction cup groups 400 can be adjusted to be consistent with the distribution spacing of the material box loading groove. Furthermore, the stroke of the pneumatic rod 220 can be set so that when the pneumatic rod 220 is at its minimum stroke, the distribution spacing between the multiple movable suction cup groups 400 is the same as the arrangement spacing of the products 600 after being pulled out. When the pneumatic rod 220 is at its maximum stroke, the spacing between the multiple movable suction cup groups 400 can be adjusted to match the distribution spacing of the material trays in the material box. At the start of adsorption, the pneumatic rod 220 is at its minimum stroke position to adsorb the pulled-out products 600. After adsorption and transportation to the top of the material box, the pneumatic rod 220 extends under the drive of the pneumatic pump 210. After extending to its maximum stroke, the movable suction cup groups 400 begin to descend to guide the multiple products 600 into the multiple material trays of the material box. After placement, the pneumatic rod 220 retracts to its minimum stroke position to facilitate the next round of material conveying. Furthermore, by setting the longest position of the limiting rod 310 accordingly, this suction cup device can be applied to products 600 and material boxes with different arrangement methods to achieve precise transportation and unloading of products 600. Furthermore, the driving component 200 can also directly adopt a cylinder or similar structure.
