TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to pneumatic nail production equipment's technical field, in particular to a sucking disc carrying mechanism. BACKGROUND
[0002] Pneumatic nails are fasteners specifically designed for pneumatic tools, and are used in conjunction with pneumatic nail guns and other equipment to achieve efficient nailing through compressed air power. Typically, the structure of a pneumatic nail consists of a head, a shank, and a tail. The tail is rotatable to facilitate the user rotating the nail to the correct angle.
[0003] The production and processing of pneumatic nails is a process involving multiple steps and techniques. For example, the main raw material for pneumatic nails is steel wire, which is usually made of hard carbon steel. The steel wire needs to go through pretreatment steps such as cutting and fine grinding to achieve the appropriate size and shape for making nails; after that, the aforementioned steel wire needs to be processed through steps such as re-cutting, shaping, and nail head processing; in some use cases, in order to improve the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of the pneumatic nail, it is usually necessary to perform surface treatment. Common surface treatment methods include galvanizing and chrome plating. These treatments not only improve the durability of the nail, but also prevent it from rusting or corroding during use. After quality testing to ensure the yield of the pneumatic nail, the produced pneumatic nail needs to be packaged and sealed for easy storage and transportation.
[0004] Based on this, Chinese patent CN214649377U discloses a packaging production line for pneumatic nails, which includes a molding device, one side of the molding device is provided with a conveying channel, both sides of the folding needle device are provided with transmission belts, the output end of the pushing device is installed with a pushing rod, the other side of the transfer table is provided with a nail channel mold mechanism, the paper box positioning member is arranged opposite to the nail channel mold mechanism, the other side of the fixing frame is provided with a box placing frame, one side of the box placing frame is provided with a box feeding device. By adopting automation technology, the pneumatic nail can be automatically folded and packaged after being processed and produced, which saves labor costs, improves production efficiency, arranges the pneumatic nails neatly and packs them into a paper box, achieves automatic packaging and molding, improves packaging efficiency, ensures the consistency of the packaging quantity, and through the box feeding device, the box opening assembly, and the folding device, the paper box is transported, opened, and folded, which improves packaging efficiency and reduces labor costs and improves production efficiency.
[0005] However, the prior art also has the technical problem that it is difficult to transfer materials such as packaging boxes of pneumatic nails from two parallel conveying belts. Specifically, after the pneumatic nails are usually processed in an automatic production line, they are transferred through a conveying belt to flow into an automatic packaging production line. Due to the layout space of the factory, the pneumatic nail production line and the packaging line usually need to be provided with a set of conveying belts respectively, and the two sets of conveying belts cannot be directly connected. At this time, workers usually need to manually carry the materials at the adjacent positions of the two sets of conveying belts, which is time-consuming and laborious, and is not conducive to the improvement of the automatic production efficiency of the pneumatic nails. Practical new type content

[0027] Please see Figs. 1 to 3 The utility model discloses a sucking disc carrying mechanism includes: portal frame 1, rodless cylinder drive part 2, transverse movement structure 3, lifting cylinder drive part 4, sucking disc hanger 5, buffer part 6 and a plurality of sucking disc action structure 7, the upper side of portal frame 1 is provided with rodless cylinder drive part 2, and transverse movement structure 3 is arranged on the side of portal frame 1, and rodless cylinder drive part 2 is driven to be connected with transverse movement structure 3, lifting cylinder drive part 4 is arranged below transverse movement structure 3, lifting cylinder drive part 4 is driven to be connected with sucking disc hanger 5, and buffer part 6 is connected with the bottom of transverse movement structure 3 and sucking disc hanger 5 respectively, a plurality of sucking disc action structure 7 are evenly arranged below sucking disc hanger 5.
[0028] Specifically, in the technical scheme of the suction cup conveying mechanism, the portal frame 1 is arranged on two different track conveyors, initially, the suction cup hanger 5 is above one of the conveyors, when the material to be circulated flows below the suction cup hanger 5, the lifting cylinder driving part 4 is started and drives the suction cup hanger to descend until the suction cup action structure 7 abuts against the surface of the material, then, the end of each suction cup action structure 7 generates negative pressure under the working of the external air source to adsorb the material, then, the lifting cylinder driving part 4 drives the suction cup hanger 5 to rise, the rodless cylinder driving part 2 drives the transverse moving structure 3 to drive the lifting cylinder driving part 4 and the suction cup hanger 5 to move above the other conveyor, then, the lifting cylinder driving part 4 drives the suction cup hanger 5 to descend to the preset height, then, the suction cup action structure 7 releases the adsorbed material. During the process of adsorbing and releasing the material, the buffer part 6 can absorb the impact force when the suction cup hanger 5 and the suction cup action structure 7 descend to abut against the surface of the material to buffer and avoid damaging the material or the suction cup action structure 7. Therefore, the suction cup conveying mechanism can circulate and convey the material between the two different track conveyors, and can also buffer the impact force generated when the material is circulated, and avoid damaging the components, so the suction cup conveying mechanism solves the technical problem of how to improve the material circulation efficiency between the two conveyors.
[0029] Further, the rodless cylinder driving part 2 has a rodless cylinder bracket 201, a rodless cylinder body 202, a piston sliding block 203 and a rodless cylinder guide rail 204; the rodless cylinder bracket 201 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the portal frame 1, the rodless cylinder body 202 is arranged in the rodless cylinder bracket 201, the piston sliding block 203 is movably connected to the rodless cylinder body 202, the piston sliding block 203 is connected with the transverse moving structure 3, and the rodless cylinder guide rail 204 is connected with the rodless cylinder bracket 201 and the piston sliding block 203. Specifically, the two ends of the rodless cylinder body 202 are connected with external air sources, so that when the gas from the two ends is introduced into the external air sources, the piston sliding block 203 can be driven to move back and forth left and right, and when the piston sliding block 203 moves, it can move along the limit of the rodless cylinder guide rail 204 or stop, and it can drive the transverse moving structure 3 to move.
[0030] Further, the lateral movement structure 3 can be a right-angled connecting block structure, which is mainly used to connect the horizontally arranged rodless cylinder driving part 2 and the vertically arranged lifting cylinder driving part 4. Further, in the embodiment, the lateral movement structure 3 has a right-angled lateral movement block 301, a plurality of lateral movement blocks 302 and lateral movement guide rails 303. The right-angled lateral movement block 301 is connected to the side of the piston sliding block 203, and the lifting cylinder driving part 4 is connected below the right-angled lateral movement block 301. Each lateral movement block 302 is connected to the side of the right-angled lateral movement block 301, and a plurality of lateral movement blocks 302 are correspondingly arranged above the lateral movement guide rails 303. Two lateral movement guide rails 303 are oppositely arranged on the side of the portal frame 1.
[0031] Further, the lifting cylinder driving part 4 has a lifting cylinder main body 401 and a lifting piston rod 402. The lifting cylinder main body 401 is connected below the lateral movement structure 3, and the lifting cylinder main body 401 is drivingly connected with the lifting piston rod 402.

The buffer rod 601 is movably connected in the buffer cylinder body 602.
[0033] Specifically, when the lifting cylinder driving part 4 performs the action of descending or ascending, the lifting cylinder main body 401 drives the lifting piston rod 402 to extend or shorten under the power provided by the external air source, and then drives the suction cup hanger 5 to descend or ascend through the lifting piston rod 402.
[0034] Specifically, when the suction cup action structure 7 touches the surface of the material, the instantaneous impact force generated by the suction cup action structure 7 is transmitted upward to the buffer cylinder body 602, so that the buffer cylinder body 602 and the buffer rod 601 move relatively to absorb the impact force. Thus, the impact force can be avoided to damage the material or the part. When the lifting cylinder driving part 4 drives the suction cup hanger 5 to ascend, the relative positions between the buffer rod 601 and the buffer cylinder body 602 are reset.
