Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conductive ceramic robotic clamping and processing technology, specifically to a novel vacuum suction cup. Background Technology

[0002] Conductive ceramics are functional ceramic materials with special properties. They exhibit excellent electrical conductivity under normal conditions, comparable to that of metals, while also possessing inherent ceramic characteristics such as high strength, high hardness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance. They are widely used in electronics, power, energy, sensors, and many other fields. For ceramic robotic arms, ordinary clamping methods using clamping plates and flat-jaw pliers cannot meet the requirements for machining outer contours and can easily lead to breakage of the robotic arm. High-temperature wax-coating clamping requires heating, which can cause some ceramic parts to deform due to heat. After dewaxing, the flatness and parallelism of the workpiece will decrease, compromising product quality. Therefore, vacuum chuck clamping is necessary for machining.

[0003] The existing vacuum suction cups have a horizontal and vertical array of suction holes. For robotic arms of different shapes, air leakage or uneven suction force is likely to occur during processing, which limits their use. In addition, the metal vacuum suction cup body has poor wear resistance and a short service life. Utility Model Content

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in one embodiment, a novel vacuum suction cup includes: an upper cover 1 and a base 2 that are fixed and sealed by adhesive wax, and one side of the base 2 is connected to a vacuum pump through a pipeline. When the vacuum pump is running, the workpiece 4 to be processed can be adsorbed and fixed on the upper cover.

[0029] Understandably, by strictly controlling the flatness, parallelism, and roughness of the vacuum suction cup base 2 and the top cover 1, a perfect fit with the workpiece 4 to be processed can be guaranteed, further enhancing the adsorption stability and ensuring that the workpiece will not shift or loosen during processing, effectively guaranteeing product quality. Moreover, it can be adapted to different product outlines and surface characteristics, making it suitable for processing batches of parts and improving processing efficiency while ensuring product quality.

[0030] Specifically, the top of the upper cover 1 is symmetrically provided with a first positioning hole 12, and the top of the base 2 is correspondingly provided with a second positioning hole 22, which is used for positioning and alignment between the upper cover 1 and the base 2 to ensure that the two can be accurately overlapped, thus ensuring the sealing and consistent adsorption effect of the entire device.

[0031] It should be noted that both the base 2 and the top cover 1 are made of alumina ceramic. Compared with traditional metal materials, alumina ceramic is more wear-resistant, less prone to corrosion, and has a longer service life.

[0032] Furthermore, the upper cover 1 has a vent hole 11, and the base 2 has a corresponding vent groove 21. The air pump adsorbs and fixes the workpiece 4 to be processed through the vent hole 11 and the vent groove 21.

[0033] It is understandable that the vent 11 runs through the entire upper cover 1, and the opening position of the vent 11 on the upper cover 1 needs to correspond and overlap with the opening position of the vent groove 21 on the base 2, so that the gas flow is smooth during the air extraction process, and the suction force generated by the air pump can be used more effectively to improve the adsorption efficiency.

[0034] Please continue reading. Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the ventilation groove 21 includes a deep ventilation groove 211 and a shallow ventilation groove 212, and the deep ventilation groove 211 and the shallow ventilation groove 212 are interconnected, so that the suction force generated by the air pump can be evenly distributed on the entire surface of the part. This ensures sufficient adsorption force and effectively avoids air leakage caused by unreasonable design of the shape or size of the ventilation groove 21, thereby ensuring the stability and uniformity of the adsorption force.

[0035] Specifically, the layout of the shallow ventilation groove 212 is similar to that of the robotic arm, but its range is smaller than the outer contour of the robotic arm; while the deep ventilation groove 211 can be a square groove or a key-shaped groove, and the depth of the deep ventilation groove 211 is twice the depth of the shallow ventilation groove 212; for example, the depth of the deep ventilation groove 211 is 6mm, while the depth of the shallow ventilation groove 212 is 3mm. Correspondingly, the width of the deep ventilation groove 211 is the same as the diameter of the first positioning hole 12 and the second positioning hole 22; for example, the width of the deep ventilation groove 211 and the diameter of both the first positioning hole 12 and the second positioning hole 22 are 2mm.

[0036] Furthermore, a deep ventilation groove 211 is formed in the middle of the base 2, while a shallow ventilation groove 212 is arranged around the deep ventilation groove 211. The deep ventilation groove 211 includes a first deep groove 2111 and a second deep groove 2112, and multiple sets of second deep grooves 2112 are arranged around the center of gravity of the base 2. This mutually cooperating structural design can better adapt to the outer contour of the workpiece 4 to be processed.

[0037] Furthermore, an air extraction hole 23 is provided on the side of the base 2, and an air extraction hose 3 can be detachably installed on the air extraction hole 23, thereby connecting the vent hole 11, the vent groove 21 and the air extraction hole 23 to form a complete air extraction channel. Specifically, the air extraction hole 23 is provided with a tapered pipe thread, and the position of the air extraction hole 23 is through the second deep groove 2112 at the center of gravity of the base 2.

[0038] Working principle: The top cover 1 and the base 2 are aligned and superimposed through the first positioning hole 12 and the second positioning hole 22, and then sealed and fixed with wax. One side of the base 2 is connected to the air pump through the air extraction hose 3, and the workpiece 4 to be processed is placed on the top of the top cover 1. Then the air pump is started. After the part is stably adsorbed on the top cover 1, the subsequent processing operation can be carried out. During the processing, due to the adsorption force, the part can maintain a fixed position and posture and will not be displaced or loosened due to vibration, impact or other factors during the processing, thereby ensuring processing accuracy and product quality.

[0039] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
