Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suction cups, and more specifically, to a novel suction cup mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of capacitor manufacturing, aluminum foil strips need to be cut to obtain the required materials. During capacitor production, these materials need to be transferred to a specific processing area. Existing methods mainly involve collecting the required materials first, and then transferring them for processing once a certain amount has been collected. While this method can achieve material transfer, the cutting space during aluminum foil cutting is usually small, making it difficult to collect and transfer materials, thus reducing capacitor production efficiency. Therefore, this invention provides a novel suction cup mechanism that improves material collection and transfer efficiency by using a rotating suction head to pick up and release materials, thereby increasing capacitor production efficiency.

[0027] This embodiment discloses a novel suction cup mechanism, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, it may include:

[0028] The adsorption unit 10 includes a gas chamber module 11, a transfer adsorption module 12, and an air suction tube 13. The gas chamber module 11 has an internal cavity structure. One end face of the gas chamber module 11 is provided with multiple negative pressure chambers 114, which are circumferentially spaced around the midpoint of the gas chamber module 11 and communicate with the cavity of the gas chamber module 11. The gas chamber module 11 communicates with the air suction tube 13 through air holes 113. The transfer adsorption module 12 is movably connected to the end face of the gas chamber module 11 with the air holes 113. The transfer adsorption module 12 has a connecting channel 123, the outer end of which communicates with the suction head 124.

[0029] A rotating unit; the rotating unit includes a first fixing part 21 and a first output part 22; the first fixing part 21 is detachably fixedly connected to the air chamber module 11; the first output part 22 is detachably fixedly connected to the rotary suction module 12;

[0030] The first output unit 22 of the rotating unit can drive the rotating suction module 12 to rotate along the central axis of the air chamber module 11, so that the connecting channel 123 is intermittently connected to the negative pressure chamber 114.

[0031] In this embodiment, air is drawn into the air chamber module 11 through the suction pipe 13, creating a negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 114 and the suction head 124. The suction head 124 adsorbs the material. Furthermore, the first output unit 22 of the rotating unit can drive the rotating suction module 12 to rotate along the central axis of the air chamber module 11, causing the connecting channel 123 to intermittently communicate with the negative pressure chamber 114. This allows the suction head 124 to adsorb the material in a specific area and release the material in that specific area, thereby enabling rapid material transfer and improving the efficiency of material transfer and collection, and further improving the production efficiency of the capacitor.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the port of the negative pressure chamber 114 near the suction module 12 is in the shape of an arc groove, and the starting point and ending point of the groove are located on the same circumference.

[0033] In this embodiment, by setting a negative pressure cavity 114 with an arc groove, the suction module 12 can make the connecting channel 123 better connected with the negative pressure cavity 114 during rotation, thereby enabling the suction head 124 to maintain a strong adsorption time.

[0034] In some embodiments, the rotary suction module 12 includes a rotary module, a slot 122, and a suction head 124. The slot 122 is composed of multiple slots and is recessed radially from a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the rotary module. The connecting channel 123 is located between the two end faces of the rotary module and communicates with the slot 122. The suction head 124 is engaged with the slot 122.

[0035] In this embodiment, by engaging the suction head 124 with the slot 122, the suction head 124 can be easily disassembled, thereby facilitating the replacement of the suction head 124.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the rotary suction module 12 includes a rotary module, a slot 122, a suction head 124, and a cover plate 125. Multiple slots 122 are recessed radially from a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the rotary module. The connecting passage penetrates both ends of the rotary module and communicates with the slots 122. The suction head 124 engages with the slots 122. The cover plate 125 is detachably and fixedly connected to the rotary module, used to close one open end of the connecting channel 123.

[0037] In this embodiment, by providing a cover plate 125, the cover plate 125 is detachably and fixedly connected to the rotating module to close one open end of the connection channel 123. This ensures the airtightness of the connection channel 123 and facilitates the replacement or maintenance of the suction head 124. For example, when the suction head 124 is damaged, it can be replaced by removing the cover plate 125.

[0038] In some embodiments, the card slots 122 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the transfer module 12.

[0039] In this embodiment, by uniformly setting slots 122 on the transfer module 12, the suction head 124 can be uniformly arranged on the transfer module 12, thereby facilitating the uniform adsorption and transfer of materials by the suction head 124.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the suction head 124 includes a body portion 1241, a connecting portion 1245, a main suction channel 1242, a first sub-suction channel 1243, and a second sub-suction channel 1244. The body portion 1241 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 1245. The connecting portion 1245 is engaged with the slot 122. The main suction channel 1242 extends from one end face of the connecting portion 1245 into the body portion 1241, and the main suction channel 1242 communicates with the connecting channel 123. One end of the first sub-suction channel 1243 communicates with the main suction channel 1242, and the other end penetrates the adsorption surface of the body portion 1241. One end of the second sub-suction channel 1244 communicates with the main suction channel 1242, and the other end penetrates the adsorption surface of the body portion 1241. The first sub-suction channel 1243 and the second sub-suction channel 1244 are spaced apart.

[0041] In this embodiment, by setting a first suction channel 1243 and a second suction channel 1244, the suction head 124 can form two-point adsorption on the material during the adsorption process, thereby achieving more stable adsorption of the material.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the air chamber module 11 includes a base air chamber 111 and a top air chamber 112; the base air chamber 111 is fixedly connected to the top air chamber 112 and their internal chambers are interconnected; the negative pressure chamber 114 is disposed on a portion of the end face of the top air chamber 112; the air hole 113 is disposed on a portion of the circumferential surface of the base air chamber 111; the base air chamber 111 is detachably fixedly connected to the first fixing part 21.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the novel suction cup mechanism further includes a lifting unit 30, which includes a base 31, a lifting power module 32, and a slide rail module 35. The second fixing part 321 of the lifting power module 32 and the slide rail module 35 are respectively detachably fixed on the base 31. The slide rail module 35 is provided with a slide groove 36 along its height direction. The first fixing part 21 is slidably connected to the slide groove 36. The second output part of the lifting power module 32 is drively connected to the first fixing part 21.

[0044] In this embodiment, by setting up the lifting unit 30, the suction head 124 can move up and down while adsorbing and transferring materials, thereby further enhancing the range of movement of the suction head 124 in space and facilitating the transfer of materials to a specific area.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the base 31 includes a bearing portion 311, a first support portion 312, and a second support portion 313; the first support portion 312 and the second support portion 313 are spaced apart on the bearing portion 311; the second output portion includes a drive shaft 322, a cam 323, and a connecting rod 324; the second fixing portion 321 is detachably fixedly connected to the first support portion 312; the drive shaft 322 is detachably fixedly connected to the cam 323 along the thickness direction; the connecting rod 324 is movably connected to the second support portion 313 along its thickness direction; one end of the connecting rod 324 abuts against the cam 323, and the other end abuts against the first fixing portion 21.

[0046] In this embodiment, the second output unit drives the cam 323, which in turn drives the connecting rod 324 to reciprocate. This allows the connecting rod 324 to intermittently push the first fixed part 21 to move up and down, thus enabling the suction head 124 to move up and down intermittently during rotation. In conjunction with the positional relationship of the negative pressure chamber 114, the suction head 124 can pick up materials at a specific position and release materials at a specific position.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the slide rail module 35 and the base 31 are spaced apart on the base 40; the base 40 is detachably and fixedly connected to the slide rail module 35 and the base 31 respectively.

[0048] In this embodiment, the slide rail module 35 and the base 31 are spaced apart on the base 40. The base 40 is detachably fixed to both the slide rail module 35 and the base 31, which makes the positional relationship between the slide rail module 35 and the base 31 more stable. Furthermore, to make the first fixed part 21 more sensitive during vertical movement, a spring is provided. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the first fixed part 21, and the other end is fixedly connected to the base 40. This allows the spring to exert a force on the first fixed part 21 during vertical movement under the action of the connecting rod 324, ensuring that the first fixed part 21 maintains good contact with the end of the connecting rod 324. This guarantees the smoothness of the vertical movement of the first fixed part 21.

[0049] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0050] Air is drawn into the air chamber module 11 through the suction pipe 13, creating a negative pressure in the negative pressure chamber 114 and the suction head 124. The suction head 124 adsorbs the material, and the first output unit 22 of the control unit drives the rotating suction module 12 to rotate along the central axis of the air chamber module 11, causing the connecting channel 123 to intermittently connect with the negative pressure chamber 114. This allows the suction head 124 to adsorb the material in a specific area and release the material in a specific area, thereby enabling rapid material transfer and improving the efficiency of material transfer and collection, and further improving the production efficiency of capacitors.

[0051] In the above, each rotating unit and lifting unit 30 is electrically connected to an external controller (not shown in the figure) to realize the control and operation of the rotating unit and lifting unit 30.

[0052] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific examples of implementing this disclosure, and in practical applications, various changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure.
