[0029] The present application provides a vacuum switching device 100, in combination with Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the vacuum switching device provided by the present application in an adsorption state, Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the vacuum switching device shown in Figure 1 in a release state, Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a table adsorption equipment including the vacuum switching device provided by the present application.
[0030] The vacuum switching device 100 includes a wind valve 10 and an adsorption mechanism 20, the adsorption mechanism 20 is connected to the wind valve 10, the wind valve 10 is connected to a vacuum generator, wherein the vacuum generator is used to generate negative pressure, the wind valve 10 is used to switch the negative pressure to the path, so that the negative pressure leads to the adsorption mechanism 20, or the negative pressure leads to the pressure relief port 102 on the wind valve 10, so that the vacuum switching can be realized without stopping the vacuum generator, avoiding frequent start and stop of the vacuum generator, which is beneficial to increase the service life of the vacuum generator and improve its stability.
[0031] In the present application, the vacuum generator is a negative pressure blower or a vacuum pump, etc., and the present application does not limit the specific type. Since the negative pressure blower is often used for negative pressure adsorption and dust extraction, it is less used for vacuum extraction equipment. When extracting vacuum, the negative pressure blower is easily damaged due to stall. The vacuum switching device of the present application can avoid stall, and has greater advantages when used with the negative pressure blower.
[0032] Specifically, the air valve 10 comprises a cylinder assembly 12, a piston disc 14 and a driving member 16, the cylinder assembly 12 has a vacuum cavity 101, a vacuum port 103 and a pressure relief port 102, the driving member 16 is installed at a first port of the cylinder assembly 12 and its driving shaft is connected with the piston disc 14, the piston disc 14 is located in the vacuum cavity 101; an adsorption mechanism 20 is installed at a second port of the cylinder assembly 12, and the adsorption mechanism 20 is communicated with the vacuum cavity 101; wherein the pressure relief port 102 is arranged at a side of the vacuum port 103 away from the adsorption mechanism 20.
[0033] The vacuum switching device 100 comprises an adsorption state and a release state, as shown in Figure 1 the adsorption state, the driving member 16 drives the piston disc 14 to move to a stop position in the cylinder assembly 12, cuts off the communication between the pressure relief port 102 and the vacuum port 103, and makes the adsorption mechanism 20 and the vacuum port 103 communicated, so that the vacuum port 103 provides negative pressure condition to the adsorption mechanism 20 through the vacuum cavity 101, and the piston disc 14 is kept in dynamic balance at the stop position under the action of the vacuum degree in the vacuum cavity 101 and the driving member 16, so as to maintain the vacuum degree in the vacuum cavity 101 at a preset value, at this time the adsorption mechanism 20 keeps continuous and stable pressure adsorption; as shown in Figure 2 the release state, the driving member 16 drives the piston disc 14 to move to a release position in the cylinder assembly 12, cuts off the communication between the adsorption mechanism 20 and the vacuum port 103, and makes the vacuum port 103, the vacuum cavity 101 and the pressure relief port 102 communicated with each other.
[0034] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the vacuum port 103 is arranged on the side wall of the cylinder assembly 12, the pressure relief port 102 is arranged on the side wall or the bottom of the cylinder assembly 12, and the vacuum port 103 is arranged above the pressure relief port 102. Referring to Figure 1 , the driving member 16 drives the piston disc 14 to move upward, to above the pressure relief port 102 and not higher than the upper end of the vacuum port 103, the communication between the vacuum port 103 and the pressure relief port 102 is cut off by the piston disc 14, so that the vacuum port 103, the vacuum cavity 101 and the second port are communicated, which is the aforementioned stop position. Referring to Figure 2 , the driving member 16 drives the piston disc 14 to move upward, to above the upper end of the vacuum port 103, the communication between the adsorption mechanism 20 and the vacuum port 103 is cut off by the piston disc 14, so that the vacuum port 103, the vacuum cavity 101 and the pressure relief port 102 are communicated with each other, which is the aforementioned release position.
[0035] The vacuum generator is connected to the vacuum port 103 to generate a negative pressure condition in the vacuum cavity 101; the piston disc 14 is driven by the driving member 16 to move between the release position and the stop position of the cylinder assembly 12 to flexibly switch the release and adsorption states, so that the vacuum switching can be realized without stopping the vacuum generator, the vacuum generator is prevented from frequent starting and stopping, and the service life of the vacuum generator is increased and the stability of the vacuum generator is improved.
[0036] In the adsorption state, the adsorption mechanism 20 is connected to the vacuum cavity 101, the vacuum generator, the vacuum port 103, the vacuum cavity 101 and the adsorption mechanism 20 form a stable negative pressure adsorption path, and the adsorption mechanism 20 continuously and stably adsorbs the object; in the release state, the connection between the vacuum port 103 and the adsorption mechanism 20 is cut off, and the vacuum port 103 is connected to the pressure relief port 102, so that the adsorption mechanism 20 can quickly release the adsorbed object and realize efficient switching.
[0037] Further, in the adsorption state, the vacuum degree in the vacuum cavity 101 and the force of the driving member 16 on the piston disc 14 can be dynamically balanced, so that the vacuum degree in the vacuum cavity 101 can be accurately controlled to a set value, and the adsorption force of the adsorption mechanism 20 is kept stable.
[0038] Specifically, the pressure difference between the vacuum degree in the vacuum cavity 101 and the atmospheric pressure will generate a first force on the piston disc 14, which will make the piston disc 14 have a tendency to move towards the second port, when the first force exceeds the second force applied by the driving member 16 on the piston disc 14, the piston disc 14 will temporarily leave the stop position, and the pressure relief port 102 is connected to the vacuum cavity 101 to reduce the vacuum degree in the vacuum cavity 101, until the first force and the second force are balanced again, the piston disc 14 returns to the stop position, maintains the preset vacuum degree, and ensures the stability of adsorption.
[0039] For example, after the preset vacuum value is determined, the area of the piston disc 14 and the pulling force provided by the driving member 16 on the piston disc 14 can be set correspondingly, when the vacuum value in the vacuum cavity 101 exceeds the preset value, the piston disc 14 leaves the stop position, the pressure relief port 102 is connected to the vacuum cavity 101, the vacuum degree in the vacuum cavity 101 decreases, the first force decreases to be less than the second force, the piston disc 14 returns to the stop position, the piston disc 14 cuts off the connection between the vacuum cavity 101 and the pressure relief port 102, and finally the vacuum value in the vacuum cavity 101 is stably maintained at the preset value. The cross-sectional size of the piston disc 14 and the selection of the driving member 16 can be designed to meet different vacuum degree requirements in the vacuum cavity 101.
[0040] The driving member 16 can be electric or pneumatic to control the precise movement of the piston disc 14, ensuring quick response and efficient operation of the switching process. For example, the driving member 16 includes a motor and a transmission mechanism, the motor drives the piston disc 14 to move precisely through the transmission mechanism, realizing the quick switching of the adsorption and release states. In addition, the driving member 16 composed of the motor and the transmission mechanism can also exert a torque of a preset size to enable the piston disc 14 to abut against the stop position, so as to stably maintain the vacuum degree in the vacuum cavity 101 at a preset vacuum degree, which can prevent the vacuum generator from long-term locking in the adsorption state, causing the service life of the vacuum generator to be reduced, and can effectively avoid the instability of adsorption caused by the fluctuation of the vacuum degree, ensuring that the adsorption mechanism 20 can work reliably under various working conditions.
[0041] In the embodiment, the driving member 16 is a cylinder, which is used to exert a set tension on the piston disc 14, so that the piston disc 14 abuts against the stop position, wherein the cylinder bore can be selected to realize the requirement of maintaining different vacuum degrees in the vacuum cavity 101. For example, the tension provided by the cylinder on the piston disc 14 as the second force, when the vacuum value in the vacuum cavity 101 exceeds the preset value, the cylinder piston is pulled out by the first force generated by the vacuum degree, and the piston disc 14 is separated from the stop position.
[0042] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the cylinder assembly 12 includes a vacuum cavity 121 and a first flange 122 connected to the first end of the vacuum cavity 121, the pressure relief port 102 is provided on the first flange 122, the driving member 16 is connected to the first flange 122, the vacuum port 103 is provided on the side wall of the vacuum cavity 121, and the adsorption mechanism 20 is connected to the second end of the vacuum cavity 121; wherein the stop position is the end of the first flange 122 facing the adsorption mechanism 20; the second port is the port of the second end of the vacuum cavity 121.
[0043] The vacuum cavity 121 is a cylindrical cavity, and the piston disc 14 can move along the axis direction of the vacuum cavity 101 in it; the first flange 122 not only plays a role in connecting the vacuum cavity 121 and the driving member 16, but also ensures the sealing between them, and can also bear the pressure relief port 102, the end of which also acts as a stop position and can realize contact sealing with the piston disc 14, ensuring the vacuum stability and safety of the air valve 10, while greatly optimizing the structural design of the air valve 10 and improving its overall reliability and service life.
[0044] The first flange 122 comprises a flange plate 123 and a neck 124, the flange plate 123 is provided with the pressure relief port 102 and connected to the first end of the vacuum cavity 121, one end of the neck 124 is connected to the flange plate 123 and the neck 124 is arranged in the vacuum cavity 121, the other end of the neck 124 constitutes a stop position, the pressure relief port 102 communicates with the space in the neck 124, and the driving member 16 is connected to the flange plate 123.
[0045] The piston disc 14 is separated from the end of the neck 124, the contact seal between the two is broken, the vacuum cavity 101 communicates with the space in the neck 124, causing the vacuum degree to rapidly decrease, so that the piston disc 14 can automatically adjust and reestablish the stable state of the piston disc 14, and maintain the vacuum value in the vacuum cavity 101 as the preset vacuum value.
[0046] The flange plate 123 is arranged in a sealed manner between the vacuum cavity 121 and is connected by a fastener, which ensures the sealing between the flange plate 123 and the vacuum cavity 121, and the flange plate 123 can well bear the driving member 16 and is provided with the pressure relief port 102 thereon, so that the structural strength of the vacuum cavity 121 is not weakened, and further, the neck 124 can be used as a stop position, so that the structural design of the vacuum cavity 121 can be more simple, and the manufacturing cost is effectively reduced.
[0047] Further, the second port of the vacuum cavity 121 is provided with a baffle 125, the baffle 125 is used as a release position, both sides of the piston disc 14 are provided with sealing pads (not shown in the figure), the sealing pad on the piston disc 14 towards the first flange 122 is used to form a sealing contact with the end of the first flange 122, and the sealing pad on the other side is used to form a sealing contact with the baffle 125. Among them, the piston disc 14 forms a sealing contact with the baffle 125 of the second port, which can cut off the communication between the suction mechanism 20 and the vacuum cavity 101.
[0048] The sealing pads on both sides of the piston disc 14 can ensure the formation of a contact seal, thereby reliably cutting off the communication between the pressure relief port 102 and the vacuum cavity 101, or cutting off the communication between the suction mechanism 20 and the vacuum cavity 101; the baffle 125 can also be used as a carrier connected to the suction mechanism 20, for example, a screw is used to connect the baffle 125 and the suction mechanism 20, and of course, the baffle 125 and the suction mechanism 20 are also provided with sealing pads.
[0049] In the above embodiment, the sealing pads are arranged on both sides of the piston disc 14, the first flange 122 is arranged at the first port as a stop position, and the baffle 125 is arranged at the second port as a release position, and the sealing pads on both sides of the piston disc 14 realize sealing contact.
[0050] The essence of the above embodiment is that the first port and the second port are respectively provided with structures that can be sealed with the piston disc 14 to achieve sealing, for example, the inner wall of the first port and the second port of the barrel assembly 12 is respectively provided with a stop baffle (not shown, equivalent to the aforementioned flange 122) and a release baffle (not shown, equivalent to the aforementioned baffle 125), one side of the piston disc 14 can contact the stop baffle to form a sealing contact, and the other side of the piston disc 14 can contact the release baffle to form a sealing contact. It should be noted that the stop baffle is arranged between the upper edge of the pressure relief port 102 and the vacuum port 103 close to the suction mechanism 20, and the release baffle is arranged between the vacuum port 103 and the second port of the barrel assembly 12; the stop position is the end of the stop baffle towards the suction mechanism 20, and the release position is the end of the release baffle away from the suction mechanism 20.
[0051] The present application is not limited to this, the piston disc 14 can contact the side wall of the vacuum cavity 101, for example, the edge of the piston disc 14 directly contacts the inner wall of the vacuum cavity 101, or contacts the inner wall of the vacuum cavity 101 by arranging a sealing gasket on the edge thereof. At this time, the piston disc 14 is located above the pressure relief port 102 and does not exceed the upper edge of the vacuum port 10 close to the suction mechanism 20, that is, the communication between the pressure relief port 102 and the vacuum port 103 can be cut off by the contact sealing formed by the piston disc 14 and the inner wall of the vacuum cavity 101, so that the suction mechanism 20 and the vacuum hole 103 are communicated, that is, located at the stop position, and the stop position is located between the upper edge of the pressure relief port 102 and the vacuum port 103 close to the suction mechanism 20. The piston disc 14 is located above the vacuum port 103, that is, the communication between the suction mechanism 20 and the vacuum port 103 can be cut off by the contact sealing formed by the piston disc 14 and the inner wall of the vacuum cavity 101, so that the pressure relief port 102 and the vacuum port 103 are communicated, that is, located at the release position, and the release position is located on the side of the vacuum port 103 close to the suction mechanism 20. In this way, there is no need to additionally arrange flanges and baffles.
[0052] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the suction mechanism 20 includes a suction disc 21, a top column 22 and an adapter barrel 23, one end of the adapter barrel 23 is connected to the second port of the barrel assembly 12, the suction disc 21 is connected to the other end of the adapter barrel 23, and the top column 22 is connected in the adapter barrel 23 and protrudes from the suction disc 21. The top column 22 is used to lift and suction the top suction port of the to-be-connected carrier plate, and the suction disc 21 is used to be suctioned at the top suction port.
[0053] The adapter barrel 23 is sealingly connected with the baffle 125, and the lifting action of the top column 22 cooperates with the suction of the suction disc 21 to ensure that the carrier plate can be stably connected with the suction mechanism 20, so as to suction the material through the carrier plate, thereby realizing precise carrying and positioning of the material.
[0054] The side of the carrier plate away from the adsorption mechanism 20 is provided with a plurality of mesa adsorption holes for adsorbing materials. When the materials on the carrier plate need to be adsorbed, the adapter cylinder 23 carries the top column 22 and the suction cup 21 to rise together, wherein the top column 22 can accurately lift the top adsorption hole of the carrier plate, and the suction cup 21 is then tightly adsorbed on the side of the top adsorption hole to connect the negative pressure space in the carrier plate and the adsorption mechanism 20. The mesa adsorption hole is also connected to the negative pressure space, so that a stable adsorption force can be formed at the mesa adsorption hole, so that the carrier plate can adsorb materials. After the process of the materials on the carrier plate is completed, the vacuum switching device 100 breaks the vacuum, that is, the pressure relief port 102 is connected to the vacuum chamber 101 to release the pressure, and the materials on the carrier plate are released without damage.

[0057] Optionally, the adsorption mechanism 20 can also be driven to rise and fall independently, that is, the adsorption mechanism 20 can be lifted and lowered relative to the air valve 10. For example, the adapter cylinder 23 is slidingly arranged at the second port of the cylinder assembly 12 and in contact with the vacuum cavity 121. The up and down movement of the adapter cylinder 23 is controlled by the driving device to realize the independent lifting of the adsorption mechanism 20.
[0058] In this embodiment, the adapter cylinder 23 includes a movable cylinder 231, which is configured to move axially along its axis. The top column 22 and the suction cup 21 are connected to the movable cylinder 231, which is used to carry the top column 22 to lift the top adsorption hole of the carrier plate and make the suction cup 21 tightly fit the carrier plate.

[0063] For reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 When switching from the release state to the adsorption state, the movable cylinder 231 moves upward along the axial direction, the outer flange 234 forms a limiting fit with the inner flange 235, and the outer flange 234 and the inner flange 235 form a sealing structure, which ensures that the adsorption force provided to the carrier plate is stable; after switching from the adsorption state to the release state, the adsorption of the material by the carrier plate is released, and the movable cylinder 231 moves downward along the axial direction, and the outer flange 234 is separated from the inner flange 235.

[0065] The jacking element 24 can be a jacking cylinder, a miniature hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod, etc., which ensures the precise movement of the movable cylinder 231, and further realizes the close fit or smooth separation of the carrier plate and the suction cup 21, ensures the stability and reliability of the carrier plate in the process of adsorbing and releasing the material, and improves the overall working efficiency.
[0066] Two or three equal number of jacking elements 24 can be arranged on the second flange 232, and the plurality of jacking elements 24 are uniformly distributed to balance the driving force on the movable cylinder 231, further optimize the movement precision and stability of the movable cylinder 231, so as to ensure that the carrier plate does not deviate during the adsorption and release process, and improve the safety and efficiency of the operation.
[0067] For reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the table adsorption equipment provided by the present application.
[0068] Based on this, the application also provides a table adsorption detection equipment 200, which comprises a carrier plate 210 and the vacuum switching device 100 as described above.

Before detection, the adsorption mechanism 20 is connected to the jacking adsorption port 212 on the carrier plate 210, and the air valve 10 is switched to the adsorption state, thereby providing negative pressure for the carrier plate 210 to adsorb and fix the materials thereon. After the materials are detected, the air valve 10 is switched to the release state, the carrier plate 210 releases the adsorption of the materials, the adsorption mechanism 20 leaves the jacking adsorption port 212 of the carrier plate 210, the carrier plate 210 is removed from the table adsorption detection equipment, and the next carrier plate 210 carrying materials enters the table adsorption detection equipment for detection.
[0070] Different from the prior art, the application discloses a vacuum switching device and a table adsorption detection equipment. The vacuum switching device provided by the application can switch the adsorption state and the release state in real time without stopping the vacuum generator connected to the vacuum port, thereby avoiding frequent starting and stopping of the vacuum generator, increasing the service life of the vacuum generator, and improving the stability thereof. Even if the adsorption is blocked, the piston disc can dynamically abut against and leave the stop position, thereby maintaining the vacuum degree in the vacuum cavity at a preset value, preventing the vacuum generator from being blocked for a long time in the adsorption state, reducing the service life of the vacuum generator, and effectively avoiding the instability of adsorption caused by the fluctuation of the vacuum degree, so as to ensure that the adsorption mechanism can work reliably under various working conditions.

Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation based on the content of the specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, is also included in the patent protection scope of the application.
