Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of foam plastic processing technology, and specifically relates to a suction cup for foam plastic processing. Background Technology

[0002] Foamed plastics are a type of polymer material formed by dispersing a large number of gas micropores in solid plastic. Foamed plastics have many advantages, such as being lightweight, heat-insulating, sound-absorbing, and shock-absorbing. Therefore, foamed plastics have a wide range of applications. In the processing of foamed plastics, suction cups are needed to move the foamed plastics to other places for processing.

[0003] In modern foam plastic processing suction cups, small debris, dust, and other impurities may adhere to the surface of the foam plastic. If these impurities are not treated beforehand, the adhesion and sealing between the suction cup and the foam plastic will be affected, which will indirectly lead to a rapid loss of vacuum and a weakening of adhesion, increasing the risk of the foam plastic workpiece slipping off. Utility Model Content

[0004] (1) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a suction cup for processing foam plastics. This invention aims to solve the problem that in existing technologies, small debris, dust, and other impurities may adhere to the surface of foam plastics. If these impurities are not treated in advance, the adhesion and sealing between the suction cup and the foam plastic will be affected, which will indirectly lead to rapid loss of vacuum, weakened adhesion, and increased risk of the foam plastic workpiece slipping off.

[0006] (2) Technical solution

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a suction cup for processing foam plastics, including a hollow connecting column. The bottom end of the hollow connecting column is connected to a lower mounting frame. A pre-dust removal mechanism is jointly installed inside and on both sides of the lower mounting frame, and an adsorption mechanism is jointly installed inside and above the lower mounting frame. The pre-dust removal mechanism includes a pre-loading groove, which is located on both sides of the middle of the lower mounting frame. An alignment linkage component is installed in the middle of the two pre-loading grooves. The alignment linkage component includes two pairs of lead screw sleeves and guide sleeves, and a mounting frame is fixed below the two pairs of lead screw sleeves and guide sleeves. A detachable dust removal component is installed in the middle and on both sides of the two mounting frames.

[0008] Furthermore, the alignment linkage component includes a dual-head motor, which is installed in the middle of one of the pre-installation slots. The two output ends of the dual-head motor are connected to transmission rods, and a lead screw sleeve is screwed around one side of each of the two transmission rods. A guide sleeve is fixed above one side of the mounting bracket, and a guide rod is fixed in the middle of the other pre-installation slot.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide rod and its guide sleeve are connected by a movable guide connection.

[0010] Furthermore, the detachable dust removal assembly includes a dust-adhesive roller, which is installed in the middle of the mounting frame. Movable limiting grooves are provided in the middle of both sides of the dust-adhesive roller. Threaded grooves are provided in the middle of both sides of the mounting frame, and bolt rods are threaded into the middle of the threaded grooves. Limiting inserts are fixed at the ends of the two bolt rods.

[0011] Furthermore, the size of the limiting rod is matched with the size of the movable limiting groove opened in the middle of both sides of the sticky roller.

[0012] Furthermore, the adsorption mechanism includes a spacing adjustment component, which is installed in the middle of the lower frame. The spacing adjustment component includes a pair of air tubes, and the ends of the pair of air tubes are connected to the suction cup body.

[0013] Furthermore, the spacing adjustment component includes a drive motor, which is mounted on the upper center of the lower frame. The output end of the drive motor is connected to a rotating rod, and a gear is fixed around the periphery of the rotating rod. Racks mesh on both sides of the gears, and guide frames are fixed on the sides of the two racks. Guide edges for guiding the guide frames are fixed on both sides of the center of the lower frame, and an air pipe is connected to the center of one end of the guide frame. Preset slots for the air pipe to move are opened on both sides of the center of the upper part of the lower frame.

[0014] (3) Beneficial effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] When this utility model is needed to adsorb and transport foam plastic, personnel can pre-activate the external lifting mechanism to control the downward movement of the hollow connecting column and the lower mounting frame below it. After the dust-adhesive rollers on both sides of the lower mounting frame move down to adhere to the surface of the foam plastic, they can stop. At this time, the double-headed motor is activated to rotate the transmission rods at both ends. The lead screw sleeves that interact with the two lead screws can carry the mounting frame and the dust-adhesive rollers installed below it to relative displacement with the guidance of the guide sleeve and guide rod. Thus, a pair of dust-adhesive rollers uniformly remove dust from a portion of the area on both sides above the foam plastic. Subsequently, personnel can periodically unscrew the bolts on both sides of the mounting frame to disengage the end limit rods from the movable limit grooves on both sides of the dust-adhesive rollers, thereby facilitating the cleaning or replacement of the dust-adhesive rollers.

[0017] After dust removal is completed, the two pairs of mounting frames will move to the outside of the foam plastic to be adsorbed using the alignment linkage component. Then, the operator starts the drive motor to rotate the rotating rod and the surrounding gears. The racks on both sides of the gears will move relative to each other with their fixed guide frames, air pipes at one end, and suction cup bodies, in coordination with the guide edges, so as to adapt to the adsorption size of the corresponding foam plastic. Then, the external lifting mechanism will lower the lower frame again. At the same time, the suction component connected to the air pipe will be turned on. When the suction cup body is in contact with the foam plastic, the adsorption and transportation purpose can be achieved. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0025] This specific embodiment is a suction cup for processing foam plastics, and its structural schematic diagram is shown below. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device includes a hollow connecting column 1, with a lower mounting frame 2 connected to its bottom end. A pre-dust removal mechanism 3 is installed inside and on both sides of the lower mounting frame 2, and an adsorption mechanism 4 is installed inside and above the lower mounting frame 2. The pre-dust removal mechanism 3 includes pre-loading slots 31, which are located on both sides of the middle of the lower mounting frame 2. An alignment linkage assembly 32 is installed in the middle of the two pre-loading slots 31. The alignment linkage assembly 32 includes a dual-head motor 321, which is installed in the middle of one of the pre-loading slots 31. The two output ends of the dual-head motor 321 are connected to transmission rods 322. Furthermore, each of the two transmission rods 322 has a lead screw sleeve 323 screwed around one side, and a guide sleeve 324 is fixedly installed on the upper side of one side of the mounting frame 33. A guide rod 325 is fixedly installed in the middle of the other pre-installation slot 31. The guide rod 325 and the guide sleeve 324 are connected by a movable guide. A mounting frame 33 is fixedly installed below the two pairs of lead screw sleeves 323 and guide sleeves 324. A detachable dust removal assembly 34 is installed in the middle and on both sides of the two mounting frames 33. The detachable dust removal assembly 34 includes a dust sticking roller 341, and the dust sticking roller 341 is installed in the middle of the mounting frame 33. A movable opening is provided in the middle of both sides of the dust sticking roller 341. The movable limiting groove 342 and the mounting frame 33 are provided with screw grooves 343 on both sides of the middle part of the mounting frame 33. The screw grooves 343 are provided with bolt rods 344 in the middle part of the screw grooves 343. The ends of the two bolt rods 344 are fixed with limiting inserts 345. The limiting inserts 345 match the size of the movable limiting grooves 342 on both sides of the dust roller 341. When it is necessary to adsorb and transport the foam plastic, the personnel can start the external lifting mechanism in advance to control the downward movement of the hollow connecting column 1 and the lower mounting frame 2 below it. The dust rollers 341 provided on both sides below the lower mounting frame 2 can be stopped after they move down to the surface of the foam plastic. At this time, the double head is started. The motor 321 rotates the transmission rods 322 at both ends, thereby causing the lead screw sleeves 323, which interact with the two lead screws, to move relative to the mounting frame 33 and the dust-removing rollers 341 mounted below it, in coordination with the guide sleeves 324 and guide rods 325. As a result, the pair of dust-removing rollers 341 uniformly remove dust from the upper two sides of the foam plastic. Subsequently, personnel can periodically unscrew the bolts 344 on both sides of the mounting frame 33 to disengage the end limit rods 345 from the movable limit grooves 342 on both sides of the dust-removing rollers 341, thus facilitating the cleaning or replacement of the dust-removing rollers 341.

[0026] The adsorption mechanism 4 includes a spacing adjustment component 41, which is installed in the middle of the lower frame 2. The spacing adjustment component 41 includes a drive motor 411, which is installed in the upper middle of the lower frame 2. The output end of the drive motor 411 is connected to a rotating rod 412. A gear 413 is fixed around the rotating rod 412. Racks 414 mesh on both sides of the gear 413. Guide frames 415 are fixed on the sides of the two racks 414. Guide edges 416 for guiding the guide frames 415 are fixed on both sides of the middle of the lower frame 2. An air pipe 417 is connected to the middle of one end of the guide frame 415. Preset slots 418 for the air pipe 417 to move are opened on both sides of the upper middle of the lower frame 2. A pair of air pipes 417... The end of 17 is connected to the suction cup body 42. After dust removal, the two pairs of mounting brackets 33 will move to the outside of the foam plastic to be adsorbed using the alignment linkage component 32. Then, the personnel start the drive motor 411 to rotate the rotating rod 412 and the surrounding gear 413. As a result, the racks 414 on both sides of the gear 413 will carry their respective fixed guide brackets 415 and the air pipe 417 set in the middle of one end. The suction cup body 42 and the guide edge 416 will guide relative displacement to achieve the purpose of adapting to the corresponding foam plastic adsorption size. Then, the external lifting mechanism will be used to lower the lower mounting bracket 2. At the same time, the suction component connected to the air pipe 417 will be turned on. When the suction cup body 42 is attached to the foam plastic, the purpose of adsorption and transportation can be achieved.

[0027] Working principle: When it is necessary to adsorb and transport foam plastic, the operator can pre-activate the external lifting mechanism to control the downward movement of the hollow connecting column 1 and the lower mounting frame 2 below it. The sticky rollers 341 on both sides below the lower mounting frame 2 will stop after they reach the surface of the foam plastic. At this moment, the dual-head motor 321 is activated to rotate the transmission rods 322 at both ends. The lead screw sleeves 323, which interact with the two lead screws, can then move the mounting frame 33 and the sticky rollers 341 below it relative to each other, guided by the guide sleeves 324 and guide rods 325. Thus, the pair of sticky rollers 341 uniformly remove dust from the upper two sides of the foam plastic. After dust removal, the two pairs of mounting frames 33 will move to the outside of the foam plastic on both sides using the alignment linkage component 32. Then, the operator will activate the drive... The motor 411 causes the rotating rod 412 and the surrounding gears 413 to rotate. As a result, the racks 414 on both sides of the gears 413 will carry their fixed guide frames 415 and the air pipes 417 and suction cup bodies 42 at one end of the middle to move relative to each other, in coordination with the guide edge 416, so as to adapt to the corresponding foam plastic adsorption size. Then, the external lifting mechanism will lower the lower frame 2. At the same time, the suction component connected to the air pipe 417 will be turned on. When the suction cup body 42 is in contact with the foam plastic, the adsorption and handling purpose can be achieved. Afterwards, the personnel can periodically unscrew the bolts 344 on both sides of the mounting frame 33 so that the end limit inserts 345 of each end can be disengaged from the movable limit grooves 342 on both sides of the sticky roller 341, so as to facilitate the personnel to clean or replace the sticky roller 341.

[0028] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
