Vacuum suction cups are used to pick up and transfer shorter products, while contour suction cups can be custom-made to pick up taller products or products with small angles that are difficult to demold.

[0003] Existing product transfer devices can only install either a contouring mold suction cup or a suction cup holder, and cannot switch between installing either. Furthermore, existing product transfer devices can only transfer products with a relatively low height and cannot transfer products with a small or relatively high angle. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a product transfer device that solves the problems of existing product transfer devices that can only install contour mold suction cups or suction cup frames, and that cannot transfer products with small or high inclinations.

[0008] The suction cup frame is equipped with multiple suction cups, and the contouring suction cup component is provided with multiple contouring suction cups;

[0009] The suction cup or the contour suction cup is connected to the air pressure structure.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of first guide posts perpendicular to the fixed plate are fixedly provided on the fixed plate. The other end of the first guide post is slidably connected to the base plate. An elastic element is also fitted on the first guide post between the base plate and the fixed plate. One end of the elastic element is connected to the base plate, and the other end of the elastic element is connected to the fixed plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a guide sleeve is fixedly provided on the edge of the base plate, and a second guide post is fixedly provided on the fixed plate at a position opposite to the guide sleeve. The second guide post is slidably installed inside the guide sleeve, and a stop member is provided on the top of the second guide post. The edge of the stop member can stop the top of the guide sleeve.

[0012] Furthermore, the stop member is provided with a first through hole, the second guide post is provided with a first threaded hole, the first screw passes through the first through hole and is threadedly engaged with the first threaded hole; the bottom of the fixing plate is provided with a second through hole, the second guide post is provided with a second threaded hole, the second screw passes through the second through hole and is threadedly engaged with the second threaded hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the elastic element is a spring, with its upper end fixedly connected to the base plate and its lower end fixedly connected to the fixing plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the pneumatic structure includes interconnected vacuum splitter pipes and vacuum main pipes, both of which are mounted on the base plate; the vacuum splitter pipes are provided with multiple vacuum splitting interfaces, which are connected to the suction cup or the contouring mold suction cup via conduits.

[0015] Furthermore, the vacuum manifold has a connecting tube at one end near the contouring mold suction cup component. The connecting tube is fixedly mounted on the fixing plate. The contouring mold suction cup component includes a contouring mold suction cup plate with a groove. The contouring mold suction cup plate is attached to the fixing plate so that the fixing plate covers the upper part of the groove. The connecting tube is inserted into the space formed by the groove and the fixing plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the first threaded component is a fixing adjustment screw, and the edge of the suction cup frame or the contouring mold suction cup component is provided with a third threaded hole, and the fixing adjustment screw is threadedly engaged with the third threaded hole.

[0017] Furthermore, a bracket is provided on the base plate, and the vacuum splitter pipe and the vacuum main pipe are fixedly mounted on the bracket.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom of the first guide post is provided with a fourth threaded hole, and the fixing plate is provided with a third through hole. The third screw passes through the third through hole and is threadedly connected to the fourth threaded hole.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A product transfer device includes a base plate, a fixing plate at the lower part of the base plate, and a pneumatic structure fixedly installed at the edge of the base plate; multiple first threaded parts facing downwards are installed on the bottom of the fixing plate, and the first threaded parts are threadedly connected to a suction cup frame or a contouring mold suction cup component, with a gap reserved between the fixing plate and the suction cup frame; multiple suction cups are installed on the suction cup frame, and multiple contouring mold suction cups are provided on the contouring mold suction cup component; the suction cups or contouring mold suction cups are all connected to the pneumatic structure. Based on the above structure, the first threaded parts can connect to the suction cup frame or the contouring mold suction cup component, and the pneumatic structure connects to the suction cups or the contouring mold suction cups to generate an adsorption force. For pulp molding with a low transfer height, the large draft angle makes product demolding easy. The suction force of the suction cup is sufficient for product adsorption, demolding, and transfer. Connecting the first threaded component to the suction cup holder meets the requirements for demolding and product transfer. However, for products with a high transfer height or a small draft angle, demolding is difficult due to the height or angle. The product may fall during demolding and transfer due to insufficient suction force. The contouring suction cup is manufactured according to the product's shape, allowing it to better conform to the product surface. This provides sufficient suction force to hold the product, facilitating demolding and transfer and preventing it from falling. In this case, connecting the first threaded component to the contouring suction cup meets the requirements for demolding and product transfer. Furthermore, adjusting the first threaded component allows adjustment of the draft angle or height of the suction cup holder or contouring suction cup, ensuring a better fit between the suction cup and the product surface, thus enhancing adhesion. Therefore, the product moving device of this utility model can select to connect the first threaded part to the suction cup frame or the mold suction cup part according to the product with different height or slope, which can ensure that the product will not fall off due to insufficient suction force during demolding and transfer, thus facilitating the demolding and transfer of products in the production process and improving production efficiency.

[0020] In addition, this utility model is also provided with an elastic element and a guiding device (guide sleeve, second guide post, and stop). The elastic element and the guiding device work together to ensure that when the suction cup frame or the mold suction cup part makes hard contact with the product, the suction cup frame or the mold suction cup part and the fixing plate will undergo a certain displacement perpendicular to the bottom plate, thereby avoiding damage to the product due to hard contact.

[0047] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0048] like Figure 1-16 As shown, a product transfer device includes a base plate 110, a fixing plate 120 is provided at the lower part of the base plate 110, and a pneumatic structure 170 is fixedly provided at the edge of the base plate 110.

[0049] The bottom of the fixing plate 120 is equipped with a plurality of first threaded parts 160 facing the bottom. The first threaded parts 160 are threadedly connected to the suction cup frame 130 or the contouring mold suction cup part 131. A gap is reserved between the fixing plate 120 and the suction cup frame 130.

[0050] Multiple suction cups 201 are installed on the suction cup holder 130, and multiple contouring suction cups 202 are provided on the contouring mold suction cup component 131.

[0051] Both suction cup 201 and contour suction cup 202 are connected to the pneumatic structure 170.

[0052] Based on the above structure, the first threaded part 160 can be connected to the suction cup frame 130 or the contour mold suction cup part 131, and the air pressure structure 170 is connected to the suction cup 201 or the contour mold suction cup 202 to generate an adsorption force. For pulp molding with a low transfer height, the product is easy to demold due to the large draft angle. The suction force of the suction cup 201 can adsorb, demold, and transfer the product. Connecting the first threaded part 160 to the suction cup frame 130 can meet the requirements for demolding and transferring the product. However, for products with a high transfer height or a small draft angle, the product is difficult to demold due to the high height or small draft angle. During demolding and transfer, the product may fall due to insufficient suction force. The contour mold suction cup part 131 is manufactured according to the shape of the product. When used, it can better fit the surface of the product, so that the contour mold suction cup 202 can have sufficient suction force to adsorb the product, which facilitates demolding and transfer and prevents the product from falling. In this case, connecting the first threaded part 160 to the contour mold suction cup part 131 can meet the requirements for demolding and transferring the product. Furthermore, adjusting the first threaded component 160 can adjust the inclination or height of the suction cup frame 130 or the contouring mold suction cup component 131, allowing the suction cup 201 or the contouring mold suction cup 202 to better adhere to the product surface, thus enabling the suction cup 201 or the contouring mold suction cup 202 to better adhere to the product surface. Therefore, the product moving device of this utility model can select to connect the first threaded component 160 to the suction cup frame 130 or the contouring mold suction cup component 131 according to products with different heights or inclinations, ensuring that the product does not fall off due to insufficient suction force during demolding and transfer, providing convenience for product demolding and transfer during the production process, and improving production efficiency.

[0053] Furthermore, the first threaded component 160 is a fixing adjustment screw, and the edge of the suction cup holder 130 or the contouring mold suction cup component 131 is provided with a third threaded hole 132, which is threadedly engaged with the fixing adjustment screw. With this configuration, adjusting the fixing adjustment screw can adjust the slope or height of the suction cup holder 130 or the contouring mold suction cup component 131, allowing the suction cup 201 or the contouring mold suction cup 202 to better adhere to the product surface, thus enabling the suction cup 201 or the contouring mold suction cup 202 to better adhere to the product surface.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 11As shown, a plurality of first guide posts 141 perpendicular to the fixed plate 120 are fixedly installed on the fixed plate 120. The other end of the first guide post 141 is slidably connected to the base plate 110. An elastic element 142 is also fitted on the first guide post 141 between the base plate 110 and the fixed plate 120. One end of the elastic element 142 is connected to the base plate 110, and the other end of the elastic element 142 is connected to the fixed plate 120. Further, the elastic element 142 is a spring, with the upper end of the spring fixedly connected to the base plate 110 and the lower end of the spring fixedly connected to the fixed plate 120. Further, the bottom of the first guide post 141 is provided with a fourth threaded hole 143, and the fixed plate 120 is provided with a third through hole 144. A third screw 145 passes through the third through hole 144 and is threadedly connected to the fourth threaded hole 143. This configuration prevents the product from being damaged due to hard contact between the suction cup holder 130 or the mold suction cup 131 and the product when the first threaded part 160 is connected to the suction cup holder 130 or the mold suction cup 131.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 12 As shown, a guide sleeve 151 is fixedly provided on the edge of the base plate 110, and a second guide post 152 is fixedly provided on the fixing plate 120 at a position opposite to the guide sleeve 151. The second guide post 152 is slidably installed inside the guide sleeve 151, and a stop member 153 is provided on the top of the second guide post 152. The edge of the stop member 153 can stop the top of the guide sleeve 151. Further, the stop member 153 is provided with a first through hole 156, and the second guide post 152 is provided with a first threaded hole 158. A first screw 155 passes through the first through hole 156 and is threadedly engaged with the first threaded hole 158. The bottom of the fixing plate 120 is provided with a second through hole 157, and the second guide post 152 is provided with a second threaded hole 159. A second screw 154 passes through the second through hole 157 and is threadedly engaged with the second threaded hole 159. With this configuration, the guide sleeve 151, the second guide post 152, and the stop 153 form a guiding device, which enables the fixing plate 120 to move in a direction perpendicular to the base plate 110 when the suction cup frame 130 or the contouring mold suction cup 131 makes hard contact with the product.

[0056] Furthermore, the pneumatic structure 170 includes a vacuum splitter pipe 171 and a vacuum main pipe 172 that are interconnected. Both the vacuum splitter pipe 171 and the vacuum main pipe 172 are mounted on the base plate 110. The vacuum splitter pipe 171 is provided with multiple vacuum splitter interfaces 173, which are connected to the suction cup 201 or the contouring mold suction cup 202 via conduits. Furthermore, the vacuum main pipe 172 has a connecting tube 174 at one end near the contouring mold suction cup component 131. The connecting tube 174 is fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 120. The contouring mold suction cup component 131 includes a contouring mold suction cup plate 133, which has a groove 190. The contouring mold suction cup plate 133 fits against the fixing plate 120, so that the fixing plate 120 covers the upper part of the groove 190. The connecting tube 174 is inserted into the space formed by the groove 190 and the fixing plate 120. The edges of the space are sealed, meaning there is no air leakage at the contact point between the mold suction cup plate 133 and the fixing plate 120. Furthermore, a bracket 180 is provided on the base plate 110, and the vacuum diversion pipe 171 and the vacuum main pipe 172 are fixedly mounted on the bracket 180. This arrangement ensures the air pressure required when the first threaded component 160 connects to the suction cup frame 130 or the mold suction cup component 131, thereby allowing the suction cup 201 or the mold suction cup 202 to generate sufficient suction force on the product, ensuring smooth product demolding and transfer.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
