Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of suction nozzle and air tube technology, and particularly relates to a suction nozzle and air tube connector. Background Technology
[0002] The suction nozzle tubing is a key component in industrial automation and material handling systems, connecting the air source and the end effector (suction nozzle). Its core function is to stably transmit the negative pressure generated by the vacuum generator to the suction nozzle through flexible or rigid tubing, enabling precision adsorption, handling, or sorting operations. Its design features include: using pressure-resistant and aging-resistant polyurethane (PU) or nylon (PA) tubing, balancing flexibility and durability; equipped with quick-connect couplings or threaded interfaces to ensure plug-and-play compatibility and sealing with the air source and suction nozzle; and performance parameters customized according to application scenarios, such as inner diameter 4–12 mm and working pressure 0.2–0.8 MPa, to adapt to different adsorption force requirements. In fields such as electronics manufacturing, food packaging, and logistics sorting, the suction nozzle tubing significantly improves adsorption efficiency and equipment stability by optimizing airflow paths and reducing pressure loss, becoming a key component ensuring precision operations in automated production lines.
[0003] In practical use, most existing suction nozzles are directly connected to the airway, and the airway and suction nozzle do not have the function of being replaced independently. If damage occurs, the whole thing needs to be replaced, which increases costs and is not conducive to use by staff. In view of this, we propose a suction nozzle airway connector. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a suction nozzle tube connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a suction nozzle tubing connector, comprising:
[0006] A cylindrical body, the bottom of which is connected to a cone, the bottom of which is connected to a connecting pipe, a first sealing ring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylindrical body, and a partition fixedly connected to the outside of the first sealing ring;
[0007] An arc-shaped groove is formed on the outside of the connecting pipe, and a second sealing ring is fixedly connected inside the connecting pipe;
[0008] Two sets of first mounting components, both sets of first mounting components are disposed on the outside of the cylinder and are used to fix the air tube;
[0009] The second mounting component is disposed outside the connecting tube and is used to fix the suction nozzle.
[0010] In this technical solution, when it is necessary to install the air tube and the nozzle, firstly, the air tube is inserted into the inside of the cylinder, and then the bolts are screwed into the first and second threaded holes. At this time, the air tube can be installed inside the cylinder. Then, the nozzle is movably inserted into the inside of the connecting tube. The position of the nozzle can be limited by the stepped groove. When the nozzle is inserted into the connecting tube, the arc-shaped end of the nozzle will squeeze the ball, and the ball will move towards the rubber pad. When the nozzle is inserted into the fixed position, the ball will rebound when it is no longer squeezed. At this time, the nozzle can be fixed inside the connecting tube. With the above structure, the air tube and the nozzle can be connected and installed. The connection operation is simple and quick. At the same time, the air tube and the nozzle can be replaced independently without replacing the whole component, reducing costs and making it more convenient for workers to use.
[0011] The first sealing ring, which is an O-ring made of fluororubber, ensures a seal between the air tube and the cylinder. The second sealing ring, also an O-ring made of fluororubber, ensures a seal between the connecting tube and the nozzle.
[0012] In the above technical solution, a first through groove is provided at the top of the cylinder, and a second through groove is provided on the outside of the cylinder, the second through groove being arc-shaped.
[0013] In this technical solution, different types of air tubes can be adapted by opening the first and second through slots.
[0014] In the above technical solution, the first mounting component further includes a first threaded hole, which is opened on one side of the first through groove, and a second threaded hole is opened on the other side of the first through groove. The first threaded hole and the second threaded hole are threadedly connected by the same bolt.
[0015] In this technical solution, the air tube is inserted into the inside of the cylinder, and then the bolt is screwed into the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole, at which point the air tube can be installed inside the cylinder.
[0016] In the above technical solution, both the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are O-rings, and the material of the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring is fluororubber.
[0017] In this technical solution, the first sealing ring, which is an O-ring made of fluororubber, ensures a seal between the air tube and the cylinder. The second sealing ring, which is also an O-ring made of fluororubber, ensures a seal between the connecting tube and the nozzle.
[0018] In the above technical solution, further, four equally spaced mounting holes are formed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove.
[0019] In this technical solution, four ball bearings can be installed through the four mounting holes.
[0020] In the above technical solution, the second mounting component further includes four balls, which are slidably mounted inside four mounting holes. A rubber pad is fitted around the outside of the arc-shaped groove, and the rubber pad is in contact with the four balls.
[0021] In this technical solution, when the nozzle is inserted into the connecting tube, the arc-shaped end of the nozzle will squeeze the ball, and the ball will move towards the rubber pad. When the nozzle is inserted into the fixed position, the ball will rebound when it is not squeezed, and the nozzle can then be fixed inside the connecting tube.
[0022] In the above technical solution, a stepped groove is further provided at the bottom of the connecting pipe.
[0023] In this technical solution, the position of the suction nozzle can be limited by the stepped groove.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0025] When installing the air tube and nozzle, first insert the air tube into the inside of the cylinder, then screw the bolt into the first and second threaded holes. The air tube is then installed inside the cylinder. Next, insert the nozzle into the connecting tube. The stepped groove limits the nozzle's position. When the nozzle is inserted into the connecting tube, the arc-shaped end of the nozzle's top presses against the ball bearing, causing it to move towards the rubber pad. Once the nozzle is in the fixed position, the ball bearing will spring back when no longer pressed, thus securing the nozzle inside the connecting tube. This structure allows for the simple and quick connection of the air tube and nozzle. It also allows for independent replacement of the air tube and nozzle without replacing the entire assembly, reducing costs and making it more convenient for operators.
[0026] The first sealing ring, which is an O-ring made of fluororubber, ensures a seal between the air tube and the cylinder. The second sealing ring, also an O-ring made of fluororubber, ensures a seal between the connecting tube and the nozzle. Attached Figure Description
