Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material handling technology, and in particular relates to a flexible adsorption device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of some workpieces, it is often necessary to handle and flip them. Traditional manual handling and flipping methods are not only inefficient, but also prone to workpiece damage due to improper operation, affecting product quality. Therefore, automated equipment is now widely used to replace manual operation. However, existing automated equipment still has the following drawbacks:

[0003] Limited functionality and large footprint: Existing equipment can usually only perform a single function of handling or flipping, which means that the production line needs to be equipped with two independent machines. This not only increases equipment costs, but also occupies a large production space and reduces overall work efficiency.

[0004] Adsorption methods can easily damage workpieces: Existing adsorption equipment mostly uses rigid adsorption structures (such as mechanical grippers or hard suction cups), which can easily cause indentations and scratches on the surface of the workpiece during handling. It is especially unsuitable for fragile and easily scratched precision parts (such as optical lenses, precision electronic components, etc.).

[0005] The flipping mechanism is complex and difficult to operate: Existing flipping mechanisms usually adopt complex structures such as multi-link and gear transmission, which not only have high manufacturing costs, but also have high debugging and maintenance difficulties, affecting the stability and applicability of the equipment.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an automated device that integrates handling and flipping functions, has a compact structure, flexible adsorption method, and is easy to operate, in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and improve production efficiency and workpiece safety.

[0026] The purpose, advantages, and features of this utility model will be illustrated and explained through the following non-limiting description of preferred embodiments. These embodiments are merely typical examples of applying the technical solutions of this utility model, and all technical solutions formed by equivalent substitutions or equivalent transformations fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0027] In the description of the solution, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience and simplification of description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Also, in the description of the solution, with the operator as a reference, the direction closer to the operator is the proximal end, and the direction farther from the operator is the distal end.

[0028] This utility model discloses a flexible adsorption device, including as follows: Figures 1 to 4 The mounting bracket 1 shown is preferably equipped with casters 11 at its bottom end for easy and quick movement. Furthermore, at least one caster 11 is equipped with a foot brake, which stabilizes the mounting bracket 1 in the desired position, providing a stable foundation for use.

[0029] The top of the mounting bracket 1 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 2 via a support frame 102. Further, as... Figure 1As shown, the lifting mechanism 2 includes a balancer 21 disposed on the top surface of the support frame 102. The end of the balancer 21 penetrates the top surface of the support frame 102 and suspends a suspension 22. Furthermore, the balancer 21 is located at the center of the support frame 102, and its end is provided with a component for suspending the suspension 22. This component can be a known structure including a hook or a ring; this invention only uses a hook as an example for illustration, and the specific design can be adjusted according to requirements, without limitation. The balancer 21 enables stepless lifting of the suspension 22, allowing the suspension 22 to stop at any position during the lifting process to accommodate products of different heights, improving adaptability and flexibility.

[0030] The support frame 102 includes at least two support shafts 1021, with both ends of each shaft fixedly connected to the top surface of the support frame 102 and the top surface of the mounting frame 1, respectively. The support shafts 1021 pass through the edge of the suspension 22 and act as guides during the vertical movement of the suspension 22. The balancer 21, in conjunction with the support frame 102, ensures the flatness of the suspension 22 during lifting and lowering, reduces suspension tilt, and thus ensures effective product adsorption by the adsorption assembly.

[0031] The lifting mechanism 2 is equipped with such as Figure 1 or Figure 3 The flipping mechanism 3 is shown. Further, the flipping mechanism 3 includes a handwheel 31 and a connector 32 disposed on and connected to the support frame 102. The connector 32 is provided with the adsorption component 4, and the handwheel 31 drives the adsorption component 4 to rotate around its connection point with the connector 32 via the connector 32.

[0032] Furthermore, the handwheel 31 is connected to the rotor within the connecting member 32 via a worm gear. Rotating the handwheel 31 clockwise will cause the rotor to rotate clockwise, and rotating the handwheel 31 counterclockwise will cause the rotor to rotate counterclockwise. In addition, the worm gear connection allows the rotor within the connecting member 32 to stop at any position; that is, the rotor stops immediately after the handwheel 31 is rotated at any angle.

[0033] The flipping mechanism 3 is provided with, for example, Figure 4 The adsorption component 4 is shown. The adsorption component 4 includes a support 41 and a set of adsorption elements 42. (As shown...) Figure 1As shown, the bracket 41 includes a first bracket 411 detachably connected to the connector 32 and a second bracket 412 detachably connected to the first bracket 411. The first bracket 411 and the second bracket 412 are arranged vertically. Furthermore, the suction member 42 is mounted on the second bracket 412. When the handwheel 31 drives the bracket 41 to rotate, it simultaneously drives the suction member 42 and the product to rotate synchronously, and can stop at any position during the rotation, improving the flexibility of use.

[0034] Furthermore, a set of the adsorption components 42 is connected to an external air source via a pipe; furthermore, the adsorption component 42 in this invention is preferably a suction cup, as the soft bottom of the suction cup effectively reduces hard contact with the product, avoiding scratches on the product surface and ensuring a high product yield. The adsorption component 42 is equipped with a fine-adjustment spring, which allows the adsorption component 42 to automatically find its position within a 10° angle range between itself and the product, effectively and stably adsorbing the product.

[0035] Therefore, this utility model uses the lifting mechanism 2 to drive the flipping mechanism 3 and the adsorption component 4 to move along the height direction of the mounting frame 1, and the flipping mechanism 3 and the adsorption component 4 can be suspended at any position during the movement. When the adsorption component 4 approaches the product, the adsorption element 42 stably adsorbs the product and returns it; after stopping at any position during the return process, the flipping mechanism 3 is activated to drive the adsorption component 4 to rotate 180° clockwise or counterclockwise, and the adsorption component 4 can be suspended at any angle during the rotation, and the upper surface of the product is processed after it is flipped over.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a set of oblong holes 410 are formed on the first bracket 411. Bolts pass through the oblong holes 410 and the second bracket 412 to achieve the installation of the second bracket 412 with the first bracket 411. There is at least one second bracket 412, and preferably two second brackets 412 in this utility model. The distance between the two second brackets 412 can be adjusted through the oblong holes 410 to accommodate products of different sizes. Specifically, when the product size is large, the distance between the two second brackets 412 is increased, that is, the two second brackets 412 are installed alternately in the oblong holes 410. When the product size is small, the distance between the two second brackets 412 is decreased, or only one second bracket 412 is set on the first bracket 411. This utility model can adapt to products of different sizes through the brackets 41, with wide adaptability, high flexibility, and simple and quick operation.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, the adsorption element 42 is fixed to the sliding sleeve 421, which is sleeved on the bracket 412 and connected to it by bolts. Furthermore, the side wall of the bracket 412 is provided with a set of positioning holes or a waist-shaped hole to facilitate quick bolt connection between the sliding sleeve 421 and the bracket 412. That is, the accessory 42 can slide along the direction of the bracket 412 to adapt to products in different positions.

[0038] This utility model has many other embodiments. All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
