Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transfer suction cup technology, specifically a glass transfer suction cup mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum suction cups, also known as vacuum lifters, are one of the actuators in vacuum equipment. There are various types of vacuum suction cups. Rubber suction cups can operate at high temperatures, while silicone rubber suction cups are very suitable for gripping products with rough surfaces. Polyurethane suction cups are very durable. Generally, to avoid scratching the surface of the product, it is best to choose suction cups with corrugated tubes made of nitrile rubber or silicone rubber. Suction cups made of nitrile rubber have a large tensile strength and are therefore widely used in various vacuum holding equipment.
[0003] The current glass suction cup structure has a significant design flaw: it cannot be adjusted according to the angle of the glass. Because the existing glass suction cup structure is fixed and cannot be adjusted at different angles, the suction cup cannot maintain a good adsorption effect when handling tilted or irregularly shaped glass, which can easily lead to insufficient suction or glass falling off. This reduces the stability of the suction cup in transporting glass. At the same time, because the suction cup cannot be adjusted, it can only be used to handle flat or vertical glass surfaces, thus limiting the applicability of the suction cup and failing to meet diverse operational needs. Therefore, the existing glass transfer suction cup mechanism needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the worm gear forms an integrated rotating structure with the worm and the transmission rod. The outer wall of the fixed rod is fixedly connected to the worm gear and the first U-shaped frame. The first U-shaped frame forms an angle adjustment structure with the worm gear through the fixed rod. The outer wall of the first U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the second guide block.
[0009] Preferably, a second motor is installed on one side of the fixed plate, and the output shaft of the second motor is connected to an adjusting rod via a coupling. A worm gear is connected to the outer wall bearing of the adjusting rod, and a second U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting rod. The second U-shaped frame forms a rotating structure through the adjusting rod.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall bearing of the second U-shaped frame is connected to a transmission rod, and the inner wall bearing of the second U-shaped frame is connected to a fixing rod, and the first U-shaped frame forms an angle adjustment structure with the second U-shaped frame through the fixing rod.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: it is used for glass transfer suction cup mechanism;
[0013] 1. By using a set of motor 1, worm gear, U-shaped frame 1, and motor 2, motor 1 drives the worm gear to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel to rotate. This worm wheel, through the fixed rod, U-shaped frame 1, and guide block 2, moves the suction cup body to adjust left and right. Then, motor 2 drives the adjusting rod to rotate, which, through U-shaped frame 2, pushes the fixed rod, U-shaped frame 1, and guide block 2, thus adjusting the suction cup body forward and backward. This solves the problem that existing glass transfer suction cup mechanisms cannot be adjusted according to the angle of the glass, making it easier for workers to adjust the angle of the glass transfer suction cup. It also prevents the suction cup from failing to maintain a good adsorption effect when handling tilted or irregularly shaped glass, thereby ensuring the stability of the suction cup in glass transfer.
[0014] 2. By using a set extraction tube, connecting tube, suction cup body, and display, the extraction tube and connecting tube are connected to form a vacuum adsorption between the suction cup body and the vacuum generator. When the suction force of the suction cup body decreases, the suction cup body adjusts, causing the displacement measuring device to extend or retract. When the display exceeds the set value, it triggers an alarm. This solves the problem that existing glass transfer suction cup mechanisms cannot provide an alarm when the adsorption force is low. This allows staff to obtain the adsorption status of the glass transfer suction cup in a timely manner, while preventing insufficient suction force during glass transfer. This improves the safety of glass transfer and increases the practicality of the overall device. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a glass transfer suction cup mechanism, including a vacuum generator 1, a bracket 2 installed on the outer wall of the vacuum generator 1, and an extraction tube 3 installed through the inner wall of the bracket 2. A mounting frame 4 is installed at the other end of the extraction tube 3. There are four brackets 2, and the four brackets 2 are equidistantly arranged on the top of the vacuum generator 1. The two ends of the extraction tube 3 are connected to the vacuum generator 1 and the mounting frame 4, and the mounting frame 4 forms an integrated structure with the vacuum generator 1 through the extraction tube 3. The brackets 2 allow the four suction cup bodies 8 to be synchronously adjusted via the extraction tube 3, improving the efficiency of the suction cup bodies 8 in subsequently adsorbing glass. A first guide block 5 is installed through the other end of the mounting frame 4, and a connecting tube 6 is connected through the outer wall of the first guide block 5. A second guide block 7 is installed at the other end of the connecting tube 6, and a suction cup body 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second guide block 7. The two ends of the connecting tube 6 are connected through the first guide block 5 and the second guide block 7. Furthermore, the second guide block 7 forms an integrated structure with the first guide block 5 through the connecting pipe 6. The suction cup body 8 forms a vacuum adsorption structure through the second guide block 7. The second guide block 7 ensures the stability of vacuum adsorption after the suction cup body 8 is adjusted in angle. The outer wall of the suction cup body 8 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 19, and the inner wall of the limiting plate 19 is equipped with a displacement measuring device 20. The top of the displacement measuring device 20 is equipped with a signal transmission line 21, and the other end of the signal transmission line 21 is connected to a display 22. An alarm 23 is set on the top of the bracket 2. One end of the displacement measuring device 20 is movably connected to the suction cup body 8, and the displacement measuring device 20 forms a telescopic structure through the suction cup body 8. The two ends of the signal transmission line 21 are equipped with the displacement measuring device 20 and the display 22, and the display 22 forms an integrated transmission structure with the displacement measuring device 20 through the signal transmission line 21. The displacement measuring device 20 facilitates the staff to obtain the change value of the adsorption force of the suction cup body 8 in a timely manner.
[0022] The specific implementation method is as follows: The suction cup body 8 is connected to the display 22 via the extraction tube 3, connecting tube 6, and suction tube 6. This allows the suction cup body 8 to form a vacuum adsorption with the vacuum generator 1 through the connecting tube 6 and extraction tube 3. When the adsorption force of the suction cup body 8 decreases, the suction cup body 8 adjusts, causing the displacement measuring device 20 to extend or retract. When the display 22 exceeds a set value, the alarm 23 is activated to issue a warning. This solves the problem that existing glass transfer suction cup mechanisms cannot issue warnings when the adsorption force is low. This allows workers to quickly obtain information about the adsorption status of the glass transfer suction cup, while preventing insufficient suction during glass transfer. This improves the safety of glass transfer and increases the overall practicality of the device.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a glass transfer suction cup mechanism, wherein a fixed plate 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of a first guide block 5, and a first motor 10 is installed on the outer wall of the fixed plate 9. The output shaft of the first motor 10 is connected to a transmission rod 11 through a coupling, and a worm gear 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod 11. A worm wheel 13 is meshed with the outer wall of the worm gear 12, and a fixed rod 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the worm wheel 13. The worm wheel 13 and the transmission rod 11 form an integrated rotating structure through the worm gear 12. The outer wall of the fixed rod 14 is fixedly connected to the worm wheel 13 and a first U-shaped frame 15, and the first U-shaped frame 15 forms an angle adjustment structure through the fixed rod 14 and the worm wheel 13. A second guide block 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first U-shaped frame 15. The worm wheel 13 facilitates the operator to adjust the suction cup body 8 left and right. A first U-shaped frame 15 is fixedly connected, and a second U-shaped frame 18 is connected to the outer wall bearing of the fixed rod 14. A second motor 16 is installed on one side of the fixed plate 9, and the output shaft of the second motor 16 is connected to an adjusting rod 17 via a coupling. A worm gear 12 is connected to the outer wall bearing of the adjusting rod 17, and the second U-shaped frame 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting rod 17. The second U-shaped frame 18 forms a rotating structure through the adjusting rod 17. The second U-shaped frame 18 facilitates the operator to adjust the suction cup body 8 back and forth. A transmission rod 11 is connected to the inner wall bearing of the second U-shaped frame 18, and a fixed rod 14 is connected to the inner wall bearing of the second U-shaped frame 18. The first U-shaped frame 15 forms an angle adjustment structure with the second U-shaped frame 18 via the fixed rod 14. The first U-shaped frame 15 ensures the stability of the suction cup body 8 when handling tilted or irregularly shaped glass.
[0024] The specific implementation method is as follows: Using a first motor 10, a worm gear 12, a first U-shaped frame 15, and a second motor 16, the first motor 10 drives the worm gear 12 to rotate. The worm gear 12 then drives the worm wheel 13 to rotate, causing the worm wheel 13 to adjust the suction cup body 8 left and right via the fixed rod 14, the first U-shaped frame 15, and the second guide block 7. Then, the second motor 16 drives the adjusting rod 17 to rotate, causing the adjusting rod 17 to push the fixed rod 14, the first U-shaped frame 15, and the second guide block 7 via the second U-shaped frame 18, thus completing the front-to-back adjustment of the suction cup body 8. This solves the problem that existing glass transfer suction cup mechanisms cannot be adjusted according to the angle of the glass, making it easier for workers to adjust the angle of the glass transfer suction cup. It also prevents the suction cup from falling off when handling tilted or irregularly shaped glass, thus ensuring the stability of the suction cup during glass transfer.
[0025] Working principle: When using this glass transfer suction cup mechanism, the glass first contacts the suction cup body 8. When the glass surface is irregular, the first motor 10 set on one side of the fixed plate 9 is activated, so that the first motor 10 drives the transmission rod 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm gear 12 to rotate synchronously. Since the outer wall of the worm gear 12 is meshed with the worm wheel 13, the worm gear 12 drives the worm wheel 13 to rotate. At this time, the worm wheel 13 drives the first U-shaped frame 15 to adjust left and right through the fixed rod 14, so that the first U-shaped frame 15 drives the second guide block 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the suction cup body 8 to adjust synchronously, so that the suction cup body 8 fits against the glass.
[0026] Simultaneously, part of the suction cup body 8 is activated by the second motor 16 located on one side of the fixed plate 9. At this time, the second motor 16 drives the adjusting rod 17 to rotate. Since the adjusting rod 17 is connected to the worm gear 12 by a bearing, the worm gear 12 does not rotate with the adjusting rod 17. This allows the adjusting rod 17 to drive the second U-shaped frame 18 fixed on the outer wall to rotate at an angle. This allows the second U-shaped frame 18 to drag the fixed rod 14 and the worm wheel 13. In turn, the second U-shaped frame 18 drives the first U-shaped frame 15 to adjust back and forth through the fixed rod 14. Similarly, the first U-shaped frame 15 drives the second guide block 7 and the suction cup body 8 to adjust back and forth, so that the suction cup body 8 can fit against the glass.
[0027] Then, by activating the vacuum generator 1, the vacuum generator 1 performs vacuum extraction on the mounting bracket 4 through the extraction tube 3, so that the connecting tube 6 performs vacuum adsorption on the suction cup body 8 through the first guide block 5 and the second guide block 7, completing the suction and transfer of the glass. When the adsorption force of the suction cup body 8 deviates, the suction cup body 8 rises, so that the suction cup body 8 pushes the displacement measuring device 20, thereby transmitting the rise value of the suction cup body 8 to the display 22 through the signal transmission line 21. When the display 22 shows that the value exceeds the standard, it will activate the alarm 23 to work, thus alerting the staff.
[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
