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 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides an integrated suction cup structure, including a main body 1. A T-shaped protrusion 10 is provided at the lower end of one end of the main body 1, and the lower part of the T-shaped protrusion 10 is inserted into the upper part of the fixed connecting block 9. The bottom of the connecting block 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the suction cup 2, and both the suction cup 2 and the T-shaped protrusion 10 are provided with suction holes 11. The lower end of the air pipe 3 is inserted into the side of the other end of the main body 1, and the air pipe 3, the interior of the main body 1, and the interior of the suction holes 11 are connected.

[0022] In this embodiment, an opening 101 is provided at the lower end of one end of the main body 1, and a T-shaped protrusion 10 is fixedly connected in the middle of the opening 101. A T-shaped groove 901 is provided above the connecting block 9, and the T-shaped protrusion 10 is inserted into the T-shaped groove 901.

[0023] A T-shaped protrusion 10 is provided at one end of the main body 1, and the T-shaped protrusion 10 is inserted into the T-shaped groove 901 of the connecting block 9, so that the main body 1 and the connecting block 9 are connected as one unit. At the same time, a suction cup 2 is provided below the connecting block 9, so that the suction cup 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the main body 1.

[0024] Furthermore, the main body 1 is provided with an internal air passage 7 and a pressurized air passage 8, and the internal air passage 7 and the pressurized air passage 8 are connected to each other.

[0025] Furthermore, a through hole 6 is provided on the other side of the main body 1, and the lower end of the fixed connection air pipe 3 is inserted into the through hole 6.

[0026] Furthermore, the air pipe 3 is connected to the through hole 6, and the through hole 6 is connected to the built-in air passage 7.

[0027] An internal air passage 7 and a pressurized air passage 8 are respectively opened in the main body 1, and an air pipe 3 inserted into one side of the main body 1 is connected to the internal air passage 7. In this way, the air pipe 3 draws air into the internal air passage 7, so that negative pressure is generated in the pressurized air passage 8.

[0028] Furthermore, the lower side of the booster air passage section 8 is connected to the intake port section 11.

[0029] After the air intake port 11 is connected below the booster air passage 8, the negative pressure generated in the booster air passage 8 affects the air intake port 11, and the air intake port 11 is located in the middle of the suction cup 2, so the suction cup 2 generates suction.

[0030] Furthermore, a first plug 4 is inserted and fixedly connected into one end of the pressurized air passage section 8, and an internal hexagonal notch is provided at the outer end of the first plug 4.

[0031] Furthermore, a second plug 5 is inserted and fixedly connected into one end of the built-in air passage 7, and the outer end of the second plug 5 is provided with an internal hexagonal opening.

[0032] A first plug 4 and a second plug 5 are respectively provided at one end of the booster air passage section 8 and one end of the built-in air passage section 7, so that the two ends of the booster air passage section 8 and the built-in air passage section 7 are sealed, and the internal pressure of both can be adjusted.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] A T-shaped protrusion 10 is provided in the opening 101 at one end of the main body 1, and the T-shaped protrusion 10 is inserted into the T-shaped groove 901 in the connecting block 9. At the same time, a suction cup 2 is provided below the connecting block 9, so the main body 1 and the suction cup 2 are integrated. The main body 1 is provided with an internal air channel 7 and a pressurized air channel 8, and an air pipe 3 is inserted into the side of the other end of the main body 1. The air pipe 3 is connected to the external suction device. The air pipe 3 works by suctioning through the internal air channel 7 and the pressurized air channel 8. During the suction process, the negative pressure in the pressurized air channel 8 increases. The air suction hole 11 is connected below the pressurized air channel 8, and the air suction hole 11 is opened in the T-shaped protrusion 10 and the suction cup 2. Thus, the suction cup 2 generates suction under the action of the air suction hole 11 and the pressurized air channel 8.

[0035] In addition, a threaded hole is provided at the other end of the main body 1. The main body 1 and the suction cup 2 are fixed together inside the self-service mobile phone case vending machine using the threaded hole. Since the main body 1 and the suction cup 2 are very thin after machining, they can be moved easily inside the self-service mobile phone case vending machine and are easy to grab mobile phone cases.
