Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stone processing, specifically a wireless vacuum suction cup with integrated magnetic suction function. [Background Technology]
[0002] In the current stone processing industry, double-sided suction cups are generally used to fix stone slabs. These tools typically consist of two rubber suction cup heads with sealing rings connected by a support or rod. To use them, one end of the double-sided suction cup is placed on the processing platform, then the stone slab to be processed is placed on the other end. Finally, an air hose connects the double-sided suction cup to a vacuum pump to fix and elevate the stone slab.
[0003] However, this process often brings several problems: First, there is a lot of liquid and debris on the cutting platform. To prevent the suction head below from sucking impurities into the vacuum pipe when adsorbing and fixing, the cutting table needs to be cleaned frequently or a filter device needs to be added to the pipe. This will increase the cost of manpower and materials and make the operation inefficient. Second, the area of the stone slab being processed is generally large, requiring a large number of double-sided suction cups for fixing. Each double-sided suction cup needs to be inserted with two air tubes for vacuuming. This can cause the air tubes to become entangled during the arrangement of the double-sided suction cups, and the overall processing environment is not clean and aesthetically pleasing. [Utility Model Content]
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a wireless vacuum suction cup with integrated magnetic suction function. This allows for placement without the need for personnel to frequently enter the production line, reducing labor costs and the possibility of accidents, while also avoiding the need to remove or filter impurities.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a wireless vacuum suction cup with integrated magnetic attraction function is designed, including a housing 1. A suction cup head 3 is screwed onto the top of the housing 1 for adsorbing and fixing a stone slab. An electromagnet 12 is fixed inside the lower part of the housing 1 to provide magnetic attraction for adsorbing the processing table. A control board 5, a receiving and stabilizing board 6, a pressure relief valve 8, a vacuum pump 9, and a communication battery 11 are arranged in the upper cavity inside the housing 1. An air pipe connector 10 is screwed onto the middle of the suction cup head 3, and the air pipe connector 10 is connected to the vacuum pump 9 through an air pipe. The vacuum pump 9 is used to provide a vacuum to adsorb the stone slab. One end of the pressure relief valve 8 is connected to the atmosphere, and the other end is connected to the suction head 3 through an air pipe and an air pipe connector 10. The pressure relief valve 8 is used to break the vacuum between the suction head 3 and the stone slab to facilitate the unloading of the stone slab. The receiving coil 2 is fixed to the side of the outer shell 1 by screws. The receiving coil 2 is connected to the communication battery 11 through the receiving voltage regulator 6. The receiving voltage regulator 6 is used to convert the AC power captured by the receiving coil 2 into DC power and keep the output voltage stable. The communication battery 11 is connected to the control board 5.
[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a pressure sensor 7, which is bonded to the cavity of the housing 1. The pressure sensor 7 is used to monitor the suction force of the suction cup in real time, thereby providing a safety guarantee during stone slab processing.
[0007] Furthermore, the air pipe connector 10 is fitted with a dust plug 4 inside by an O-ring. The dust plug 4 is used to reduce the damage to the internal components caused by dust in the air being drawn into the cavity of the outer casing 1.
[0008] Furthermore, the control board 5 and the vacuum pump 9 are both fixed to the cavity of the outer casing 1 with screws, the receiving voltage regulator 6 and the pressure relief valve 8 are both glued to the cavity of the outer casing 1, and the communication battery 11 is tightened to the cavity of the outer casing 1 with screws.
[0009] Furthermore, the receiving voltage regulator board 6, the air pressure sensor 7, the pressure relief valve 8, the vacuum pump 9, the communication battery 11, and the wireless charging coil 2 are electrically connected to the control board 5, and are uploaded to the cloud through the control board 5, resulting in a higher degree of automation and a simpler visual effect.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer shell 1 is integrally cast, and the receiving coil 2 and the receiving voltage regulator 6 are combined to form a wireless charging module to automatically charge the industrial robot, thereby reducing the openings in the outer shell 1 and increasing the overall protection level of the suction cup.

[0012] (1) This utility model can realize that personnel do not need to frequently enter the production line for deployment, which reduces the investment of human resources and the possibility of danger;
[0013] (2) This utility model has complete functions, reduces the investment cost of other hardware, and has good integration, which facilitates the rapid transportation and layout of equipment and production planning.
[0014] (3) The wireless design of this utility model eliminates the complicated pipeline distribution and is aesthetically pleasing.
[0015] (4) The upper part of this utility model uses a double-sided suction cup head to adsorb and fix the stone slab, while the lower part is changed to an electromagnet adsorption, which avoids the problem of needing to remove or filter impurities.
[0016] (5) This utility model is used in conjunction with a six-axis industrial robot. By utilizing the flexible characteristics of the multi-degree-of-freedom motion of the industrial robot, it can be automatically and accurately positioned on the processing table, reducing the input of labor costs.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0024] A wireless vacuum suction cup with integrated magnetic suction function includes a housing 1, a wireless charging coil 2, a suction head 3, a dust plug 4, a control board 5, a receiving voltage regulator board 6, a pressure sensor 7, a pressure relief valve 8, a vacuum pump 9, an air pipe connector 10, a communication battery 11, and an electromagnet 12.
