Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suction cup holder technology, and in particular to a suction cup holder with a high-efficiency vacuum valve. Background Technology

[0002] Suction cup holders are widely used in industrial automation and material handling. On automated production lines, suction cup holders can be used for handling, assembly, and inspection, improving the automation level and efficiency of the production line. Furthermore, because they do not damage object surfaces, they are also suitable for handling precision parts and fragile items.

[0003] Currently, conventional suction cup holders typically use mechanical or pneumatic pumps to extract air from inside the suction cup, creating a low-pressure area, and then utilize the gas pressure difference to adsorb objects.

[0004] However, the existing suction cup holders have poor stability. When a suction cup on the suction cup holder fails to make contact, the entire suction cup holder may experience fluctuations in maintaining the vacuum level, thus affecting the overall suction effect of the suction cup holder. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a suction cup holder with a high-efficiency vacuum valve, which aims to solve the problem that when a suction cup fails to make contact in an existing ordinary suction cup holder, the entire suction cup holder may experience fluctuations in maintaining the vacuum level, thereby affecting the overall suction effect of the suction cup holder.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a suction cup holder with a high-efficiency vacuum valve, comprising a vacuum generator and a suction cup holder assembly. The suction cup holder assembly is connected to the vacuum generator and located on one side of the vacuum generator. The suction cup holder assembly includes a distributor, a high-efficiency vacuum valve, and a suction cup. The distributor is connected to the vacuum generator and located on one side of the vacuum generator. The high-efficiency vacuum valve is threadedly connected to the distributor and located on one side of the distributor. The suction cup is threadedly connected to the high-efficiency vacuum valve and located on the side of the high-efficiency vacuum valve away from the distributor. The high-efficiency vacuum valve includes a housing, a spring, a float, and a filter. The housing is threadedly connected to the distributor and located on one side of the distributor. The spring is fixedly connected to the housing and located inside the housing. The float is fixedly disposed outside the spring. The filter is fixedly connected to the housing and located on the side of the float away from the spring.

[0007] The housing has a fixing screw, which is located on the side of the housing near the filter.

[0008] The dispenser includes a dispensing frame and a connecting tube. The dispensing frame is threadedly connected to the housing and is located on the side of the housing away from the suction cup. The connecting tube communicates with the dispensing frame and is located on both sides of the dispensing frame.

[0009] The suction cup holder with a vacuum high-efficiency valve also includes a connector, which is disposed on one side of the distribution frame.

[0010] The connector includes a fixing buckle and a connecting rod. The connecting rod is threadedly connected to the distribution frame and passes through the distribution frame. The fixing buckle is threadedly connected to the connecting rod and is located on one side of the connecting rod.

[0011] This utility model discloses a suction cup holder with a vacuum high-efficiency valve. Multiple vacuum high-efficiency valves and suction cups are evenly distributed on a distributor. The vacuum high-efficiency valve is installed between the distributor and the suction cups. The suction cup holder assembly uses a vacuum generator to evacuate the air inside the suction cups, creating a vacuum state that allows the suction cups to adhere tightly to the surface of the object, achieving adsorption. During this process, the vacuum high-efficiency valve can precisely control the vacuum system to maintain the required vacuum level. If, during vacuum generation, one of the suction cups is not attached or only partially attached to an object, the vacuum high-efficiency valve will automatically stop air intake. The suction cup firmly adheres to the surface of the object, creating a vacuum. When the object is placed down, the high-efficiency vacuum valve immediately closes. Specifically, when the suction cup is exposed to the atmosphere, the float adheres backward to the housing. At this time, airflow can only pass through the small hole at the end of the float. When the object contacts the suction cup, the airflow inside the housing decreases, and the spring pushes the float forward, creating a complete vacuum in the suction cup. This solves the problem in existing ordinary suction cup holders where, if one suction cup fails, the entire suction cup holder may experience fluctuations in maintaining the vacuum level, thus affecting the overall suction effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a suction cup holder with a high-efficiency vacuum valve, including a vacuum generator 1 and a suction cup holder assembly 2. The suction cup holder assembly 2 is connected to the vacuum generator 1 and located on one side of the vacuum generator 1. The suction cup holder assembly 2 includes a distributor 3, a high-efficiency vacuum valve 4, and a suction cup 5. The distributor 3 is connected to the vacuum generator 1 and located on one side of the vacuum generator 1. The high-efficiency vacuum valve 4 is threadedly connected to the distributor 3 and located on one side of the distributor 3. The suction cup 5 is threadedly connected to the high-efficiency vacuum valve 4 and located on the side of the high-efficiency vacuum valve 4 away from the distributor 3. The high-efficiency vacuum valve 4 includes a housing 6, a spring 7, a float 8, and a filter 9. The housing 6 is threadedly connected to the distributor 3 and located on one side of the distributor 3. The spring 7 is fixedly connected to the housing 6 and located inside the housing 6. The float 8 is fixedly disposed outside the spring 7. The filter 9 is fixedly connected to the housing 6 and located on the side of the float 8 away from the spring 7.

[0020] In this embodiment, there are multiple vacuum high-efficiency valves 4 and suction cups 5, evenly distributed on the distributor 3. The vacuum high-efficiency valve 4 is installed between the distributor 3 and the suction cups 5. The suction cup frame assembly 2 uses the vacuum generator 1 to evacuate the air inside the suction cups 5, creating a vacuum state, so that the suction cups 5 are tightly attached to the surface of the object, achieving adsorption. During this process, the vacuum high-efficiency valve 4 can precisely control the vacuum system to maintain the required vacuum level. If one of the suction cups 5 is not attached or only partially attached to an object during the vacuum generation process, the vacuum high-efficiency valve 4 will automatically stop the air intake. When the suction cup 5 adheres to the surface of the object, a vacuum is recreated. After the object is placed down by the suction cup 5, the high-efficiency vacuum valve 4 immediately closes. Specifically, when the suction cup 5 is exposed to the atmosphere, the float 8 adheres backward to the housing 6. At this time, the airflow can only pass through the small hole at the end of the float 8. When the object contacts the suction cup 5, the airflow inside the housing 6 decreases, and the spring 7 pushes the float 8 forward, creating a complete vacuum in the suction cup 5. This solves the problem in existing ordinary suction cup holders where, if one suction cup fails to contact, the entire suction cup holder may experience fluctuations in maintaining the vacuum level, thus affecting the overall suction effect.

[0021] Furthermore, the housing 6 has a fixing screw 10 located on the side of the housing 6 near the filter 9.

[0022] In this embodiment, the fixing screw 10 is provided for the connection between the suction cup 5 and the housing 6, which facilitates the subsequent replacement and maintenance of the suction cup 5.

[0023] Furthermore, the dispenser 3 includes a dispensing frame 11 and a connecting pipe 12. The dispensing frame 11 is threadedly connected to the housing 6 and is located on the side of the housing 6 away from the suction cup 5. The connecting pipe 12 communicates with the dispensing frame 11 and is located on both sides of the dispensing frame 11.

[0024] In this embodiment, the connecting tube 12 is used to connect the dispensing rack 11 and the vacuum generator 1. The dispensing rack 11 is provided so that when the vacuum generator 1 generates a vacuum, the suction cup 5 generates a vacuum, thereby adsorbing items.

[0025] Furthermore, the suction cup holder with a vacuum high-efficiency valve also includes a connector 13, which is disposed on one side of the distribution frame 11.

[0026] In this embodiment, the connector 13 is provided for connecting the distribution frame 11 to the robotic arm, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the distribution frame 11.

[0027] Furthermore, the connector 13 includes a retaining buckle 14 and a connecting rod 15. The connecting rod 15 is threadedly connected to the distribution frame 11 and passes through the distribution frame 11. The retaining buckle 14 is threadedly connected to the connecting rod 15 and is located on one side of the connecting rod 15.

[0028] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 15 is used to bolt the distribution frame 11 to the robotic arm, and the fixing buckle 14 is fixed to the distribution frame 11 through the connecting rod 15. At this time, the distribution frame 11 can be snapped and fixed to the robotic arm by the fixing buckle 14. The connecting rod 15 and the fixing buckle 14 can be selected for use as needed.

[0029] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of suction cup holders with high-efficiency vacuum valves and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments, and equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of this application, still fall within the scope of this application.
