TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of carrying equipment, and specifically relates to a kind of semi-automatic automobile parts suction cup device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of automobile industry, the production and assembly process of automobile parts are increasingly automated and efficient. In the production line of automobile parts, carrying operation is one of the most important links. Traditional carrying methods often rely on manual operation or simple mechanical devices, but these methods have many limitations, such as low efficiency, high labor intensity and other problems. Especially in the automobile production line, the types of parts are various, and the shapes are different, and the precision and stability of carrying are required. Automobile parts need to avoid scratching, collision and other damage during carrying to ensure the quality and performance of the final product. In order to solve the above problems, suction cup carrying technology emerges as the times require. Suction cup carrying equipment uses vacuum suction force to stably adsorb parts on suction cup, and realizes carrying operation through mechanical arm or conveying belt and other devices. This carrying method has the advantages of simple operation, high carrying precision and little damage to parts, and is gradually widely used in automobile parts production line.
[0003] The semi-automatic suction and lifting carrying equipment disclosed in the authorization announcement No. CN218664196U controls the electromagnetic valve connected with the air cylinder through the control panel, controls the extension and retraction of the air cylinder piston rod, drives the lower end vacuum suction nozzle to contact the material, and transmits the force contacted by the vacuum suction nozzle to the microswitch at the moment of contacting the material, propagates the working signal to the vacuum generator, and transmits the vacuum value detected to the air cylinder after the vacuum value reaches the preset value, controls the suction cup to rise, and if the suction vacuum value does not reach the preset value, the suction cup cannot rise. The method of detecting negative pressure value is adopted to avoid the problem of unstable operation and falling.
[0004] Although the above-mentioned semi-automatic suction and lifting carrying equipment can realize the rising and left-right movement of suction cup, there are still some deficiencies in some aspects which are worth further optimization and improvement. For example, the above-mentioned semi-automatic suction and lifting carrying equipment mainly controls the rising and falling of suction cup through the extension and retraction of air cylinder, and realizes left-right movement through the sliding of bottom table on slide rail. However, the device is not equipped with rotating mechanism, so it cannot realize the rotation adjustment of suction material. This limitation makes the device unable to adapt to the carrying task that needs rotation angle in the carrying process, reduces the flexibility and application range of the device.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a semi-automatic automobile parts suction cup device to solve the above-mentioned problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
