This allows the ball shaft to have a moving pulling force to prevent the suction cup from falling off, while the suction cup has a certain degree of rotational freedom through the mounting groove and the ball shaft, and the increased angle increases the overall handling efficiency.
[0018] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, there are two docking rings, both of which pass through the inside of the connecting plate, and there are two nuts, both of which are located at the bottom of the connecting plate.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a cylinder and multi-suction cup combination mechanism for automated equipment, including: a cylinder 1, an output shaft 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder 1, a connecting module 3 fixedly installed at the bottom of the output shaft 2, a screw hole 4 opened inside the connecting module 3, a connecting plate 5 provided at the bottom of the screw hole 4, the connecting module 3 and the connecting plate 5 being fixed by engaging with bolts inside the screw hole 4; a connecting block 6, an interface 7 fixedly installed on the top of the connecting block 6, a docking ring 8 fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting block 6, a connecting tube 10 provided inside the docking ring 8, a nut 9 engaging at the bottom of the interface 7, the connecting tube 10 being connected to the docking ring 8 through the nut 9, and a ball shaft 11 fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting tube 10.
[0028] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: First, when it is necessary to move the items, the starting cylinder 1 drives the connecting module 3 to move up and down through the output shaft 2. At the same time, since the connecting module 3 is fixedly connected to the screw hole 4, and the screw hole 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 5 by engaging with the bolt, when the output shaft 2 moves up and down, it will drive the connecting plate 5 to move up and down. Since the connecting block 6 is located above the connecting plate 5 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 5, the connecting plate 5 will drive the suction port 15 at the bottom of the connecting block 6 to move up and down. Thus, when the suction port 15 sucks up the items, it achieves the effect of convenient handling.
[0029] The connecting pipe 10 is fitted with a fixing seat 12 on its outer side. The fixing seat 12 has a screw hole 13 inside. The bottom of the fixing seat 12 is provided with a suction cup 14, which is located outside the ball shaft 11. A screw is engaged inside the screw hole 13.
[0030] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the fixing seat 12 is engaged with the screw hole 13 and the mounting hole 19 by screws respectively, so that the fixing seat 12 is fixed above the suction cup 14. At the same time, since the top end of the connecting tube 10 is located inside the docking ring 8 and is fixedly connected to the docking ring 8, and the ball shaft 11 is snapped into the suction cup 14, the effect of convenient assembly and maintenance is achieved.
[0031] The suction cup 14 has an adsorption port 15 inside, the interface 7 has an air port 16 inside, and the connecting pipe 10 is a cylinder with a hollow interior.
[0032] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: when it is necessary to move items, first connect the interface 7 to one end of the air pump, so that the gas passes through the inside of the connecting pipe 10 and the air port 16, and then adsorbs the items on the bottom of the suction cup 14 through the suction port 15, thereby preventing the gas from falling off.
[0033] The ball shaft 11 has a positioning ring 17 on its outer side, and the suction cup 14 has a mounting groove 18 and a mounting hole 19 inside.
[0034] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the mounting hole 19 is located on the outside of the ball shaft 11, and its main function is to facilitate the active installation of the ball shaft 11 to the designated position during installation, thereby improving the installation efficiency and overall accuracy.
[0035] The connecting module 3 is a cuboid with a hollow interior and two screw holes 4, which are located on the left and right sides of the output shaft 2, respectively.
[0036] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the two screw holes 4 are respectively engaged with different bolts, thereby fixing the connecting plate 5 and the output shaft 2 through the connecting module 3, so that the device as a whole maintains a certain stability.
[0037] The connecting plate 5 is rectangular, and there are two connecting blocks 6. The two connecting blocks 6 are located on the left and right sides of the connecting module 3, and at the left and right ends of the connecting plate 5, respectively.
[0038] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the two connecting blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 5, so that the left and right sides of the connecting plate 5 maintain a certain balance. When it is necessary to adsorb and move larger items, the force range is increased, so that a certain stability is maintained during the handling.
[0039] Among them, the ball shaft 11 is spherical, and the interior of the fixing seat 12 is fitted with the mounting groove 18 to form a spherical shape.
[0040] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the fixed base 12 and the suction cup 14 are fitted together by the engagement of the screw, the screw hole 13 and the mounting hole 19, so that the inside of the fixed base 12 and the mounting groove 18 enclose the ball shaft 11. This allows the ball shaft 11 to have a moving pulling force to prevent the suction cup 14 from falling off, while also allowing the suction cup 14 to have a certain degree of rotational freedom with the ball shaft 11 through the mounting groove 18, thereby increasing the overall handling efficiency.
[0041] There are two docking rings 8, both of which pass through the inside of the connecting plate 5, and two nuts 9, both of which are located at the bottom of the connecting plate 5.
[0042] The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that when the connecting tube 10 is inserted into the docking ring 8, the nut 9 will engage with the bottom of the docking ring 8, tightening the bottom of the docking ring 8, thereby wrapping the outside of the connecting tube 10 and achieving the effect of being fixed.
[0043] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0044] First, an interface 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting block 6, and a docking ring 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting block 6. A connecting tube 10 is provided inside the docking ring 8. A nut 9 is engaged at the bottom of the interface 7, and the connecting tube 10 is connected to the docking ring 8 through the nut 9. At the same time, a ball shaft 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting tube 10. When it is necessary to move the item, the cylinder 1 is activated to drive the connecting module 3 to move up and down through the output shaft 2. Since the connecting module 3 is fixedly connected to the screw hole 4, and the screw hole 4 is engaged with the bolt to fix the connecting module 3 to the connecting plate 5, when the output shaft 2 moves up and down, it will drive the connecting plate 5 to move up and down. Since the connecting block 6 is located above the connecting plate 5 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 5, the connecting plate 5 will drive the suction port 15 at the bottom of the connecting block 6 to move up and down. Thus, when the suction port 15 sucks up the item, it can be moved.
[0045] Secondly, the fixing seat 12 engages with the screw hole 13 and the mounting hole 19 respectively through screws, thereby fixing the fixing seat 12 above the suction cup 14. At the same time, since the top end of the connecting tube 10 is located inside the docking ring 8 and is fixedly connected to the docking ring 8, and the ball shaft 11 is snapped into the suction cup 14, the effect of facilitating assembly and maintenance is achieved.
[0046] Finally, since the ball shaft 11 is spherical and is wound into a ball shape inside the mounting groove 18, it is easy to fit with the ball shaft 11. The mounting groove 18 and the suction cup 14 are fitted together by the engagement of screws with screw holes 13 and mounting holes 19. This allows the ball shaft 11 to be enclosed inside the mounting groove 12 and the mounting groove 18. This allows the ball shaft 11 to have a pulling force to prevent the suction cup 14 from falling off, while also allowing the suction cup 14 to have a certain degree of rotational freedom with the ball shaft 11 through the mounting groove 18. The increased angle increases the overall handling efficiency.
