Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum foil box production technology, specifically to a gripping device for irregularly shaped products. Background Technology

[0002] In the food industry, aluminum foil boxes are frequently used for packaging during production.

[0003] Currently, on aluminum foil box production lines, the gripping and unloading process mostly relies on manual labor or relatively traditional mechanical devices. Manual operation is not only inefficient, but also prone to errors due to fatigue, affecting product quality and production progress. Traditional mechanical devices, on the other hand, often lack precision and flexibility in their gripping and unloading actions, making it difficult to adapt to aluminum foil boxes of different specifications and shapes. Furthermore, the stability and reliability of traditional devices need to be improved on high-speed production lines. Utility Model Content

[0009] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: the mounting bracket and the outer frame are detachably connected by a second bolt.

[0010] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: a first sealing element is provided at the connection between the inner frame and the mounting bracket, and a second sealing element is provided at the end face connection between the inner frame and the outer frame.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This device is used to pick up and stack irregularly shaped aluminum foil boxes and to unload them. The inner frame cavity is set according to the shape and size of the product. The opening on the side of the outer frame is connected to an external air source. Suction creates a negative pressure inside the cavity, thereby adsorbing the product into the inner cavity of the inner frame. Multiple products can be picked up at one time, improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description
