[0036] The principle of the utility model is: when the utility model is used, first, the valve seat 1 is connected to the gas flow channel of the vacuum chuck, and whether the vacuum chuck is in the closed state is controlled by changing the relative position of the flexible valve core 4 and the valve seat 1. Under the action of the limiting mechanism, the flexible valve core 4 is in the first position under the action of the limiting mechanism without external force, when the flexible valve core 4 is in the first position, the first air release hole 3 and the second air release hole 5 do not coincide, so that the vacuum chuck is in the closed state; if the closed state is to be released, the knob 10 is rotated, the knob 10 is cooperated with the hard skeleton 8 to drive the flexible valve core 4 to rotate, the hard skeleton 8 is a hard skeleton arranged in the length direction of the flexible valve core 4, and the width of the hard skeleton is consistent with the width of the upper end mounting part, so that the flexible valve core 4 can be driven to move in cooperation with the mounting part 9, when the flexible valve core 4 rotates, the end portion will extrude the convex part 6 and deform, when the flexible valve core 4 moves to the second position, the first air release hole 3 and the second air release hole 5 coincide, so that the vacuum chuck is in the closed state, so that the vacuum chuck can be separated from the carried article, then the handle is loosened, under the action of the elasticity of the flexible valve core 4, the flexible valve core 4 returns to the first position, and the vacuum chuck is closed again. The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, convenient installation on the vacuum chuck, convenient assembly, and the utility model is used on the vacuum chuck, the phenomenon that the vacuum chuck is separated from the carried article due to the worker touching the air release valve by mistake in the carrying process can be avoided, not only the property loss can be reduced, but also the safety is good.
[0037] Embodiment 2. The structure is as shown in Figure 4 On the basis of embodiment 1, the mounting groove 2 is a long strip-shaped mounting groove, one end of the mounting groove 2 penetrates the valve seat 1, and guide strips 13 are arranged on the two sides of the mounting groove 2; the limiting mechanism comprises a limiting seat 12 arranged at the end of the mounting groove 2, the limiting seat 12 is fixed to the end of the valve seat 1 through a fastener, and the limiting seat 12 not only enables the flexible valve core 4 to be located at the first position by the elasticity of the flexible valve core 4, but also facilitates the installation of the abutting block 14 and the push block 15.
[0038] The operating mechanism comprises an abutting block 14 arranged on one side of the flexible valve core 4 and capable of driving the flexible valve core 4 to move from the first position to the second position, guide grooves 16 corresponding to the guide strips 13 are arranged on the two sides of the abutting block 14; and the upper end of the abutting block 14 is provided with a push block 15 extending to the outside of the valve seat 1.
[0039] In the installation of the embodiment, the flexible valve core 4 is first fixed under the abutting block 14 through the mounting seat under the abutting block, and then the flexible valve core 4 and the abutting block 14 are installed in the installation groove 2 through the cooperation of the guide strip 13 and the guide groove 16, and then the limiting seat 12 is installed, which is fixed at the end of the valve seat 1 through fasteners such as screws, and further a long screw can be used to directly realize the connection of the limiting seat 12, the valve seat 1 and the vacuum chuck. The limiting seat 12 not only can position the abutting block 14 and the flexible valve core 4, so that the flexible valve core 4 is in the first position under the action of no external force, but also can facilitate the installation of the abutting block 14. Since one end of the installation groove 2 penetrates the valve seat 1, the abutting block 14 can be directly installed horizontally in the installation groove, and then after the limiting seat 12 is fixed, the limiting seat 12 can prevent the abutting block 14 from being separated from the installation groove. When the vacuum chuck needs to be unsealed, the flexible valve core 4 is driven from the first position to the second position by the push block 15 and the abutting block 14, so that the first air release hole 3 and the second air release hole 5 are coincident, and the vacuum chuck is unsealed. When sealing is needed, the push block 15 and the abutting block 14 are loosened, so that the flexible valve core 4 is reset from the second position to the first position under the action of its own elasticity, so that the first air release hole 3 and the second air release hole 5 are misaligned, and the vacuum chuck is sealed.
