Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of surface clamping technology, and more particularly to a suction cup. Background Technology

[0002] Electric suction cups are devices that use electricity to generate negative pressure to adsorb and fix objects. They can be used in industries such as automobile manufacturing, electronics assembly, glass processing, and semiconductor production to handle and fix various materials, such as metal plates, plastic plates, and glass plates, thereby improving material handling efficiency and safety. Traditional electric suction cups mainly consist of an electric motor, a pump or fan, a suction cup, and a control system. The equipment compartment houses a power battery and a fan. The suction cup is connected to the equipment compartment. The power battery supplies power to the fan, which generates suction to adsorb the workpiece to be processed.

[0003] In related technologies, power batteries are generally secured to the equipment compartment using pull-button clips or plastic deformation clamps. However, pull-button clips increase the overall height of the suction cup, resulting in a larger space occupation in that direction; plastic deformation clamps cannot guarantee a consistent feel for the user and may lead to unreliable assembly. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a new type of suction cup that can reduce the overall height while ensuring consistent battery assembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a suction cup to solve the technical problems of traditional suction cups having large height and space occupation, and poor consistency in battery assembly.

[0005] Therefore, this application provides a suction cup comprising: a body having a mounting groove extending along a first direction of the body; a locking member movably disposed on the body, at least a portion of the locking member extending into the mounting groove and reciprocating along a second direction of the body, wherein the line of the second direction is angled to the line of the first direction; and a power supply member inserted into the mounting groove along the first direction and locked by the locking member in the second direction.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the main body is provided with a movable hole communicating with the mounting groove, and the locking member includes a first connecting part and an elastic part connected together. The elastic part is connected to the main body through the first connecting part, and at least a portion of the elastic part can extend into the mounting groove through the movable hole.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the elastic portion includes a second connecting segment and a bent segment connected together, the side of the second connecting segment away from the bent segment being connected to the first connecting portion, and at least a portion of the bent segment extending into the mounting groove through a movable hole.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the elastic portion further includes a limiting segment connected to the side of the bending segment away from the second connecting segment.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the projection of the limiting segment on the first connecting portion falls outside the projection of the second connecting segment on the first connecting portion.

[0010] In one possible implementation, a guide post extending in a first direction is provided in the mounting groove, and a guide groove is provided on the power supply component, the guide groove being adapted to the guide post.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the power supply component has a snap-fit ​​hole corresponding to the locking component, and at least a portion of the locking component extending into the mounting groove can be inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole to lock the power supply component and the main body.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the main body includes a handle, an adsorption element, and two opposing brackets. The two opposite ends of the handle are respectively connected to the two opposing brackets, and the adsorption element is connected to the other end of the two brackets and is opposite to the handle. The mounting groove is located on the outside of at least one bracket, and the locking element is movably located in the corresponding bracket.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the main body also includes a conductive element, one end of which extends into the mounting groove and can be electrically connected to the inserted power supply element, and the other end is electrically connected to the control board inside the adsorption element.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the handle is provided with anti-slip strips.

[0015] According to the embodiments of this application, a suction cup includes: a main body having a mounting groove extending along a first direction of the main body; a locking member movably disposed on the main body, at least a portion of which extends into the mounting groove and is reciprocating along a second direction of the main body, wherein the line of the second direction is at an angle to the line of the first direction; and a power supply component inserted into the mounting groove along the first direction and locked by the locking member in the second direction. This application embodiment, by providing a mounting groove extending along the first direction on the main body, allows for the assembly of the main body and the power supply component in that direction, thereby achieving a detachable connection of the power supply component and facilitating subsequent battery replacement. Simultaneously, a movable locking member is provided in the second direction of the main body to lock the power supply component inserted into the mounting groove in that direction, achieving a secure connection between the power supply component and the main body, improving the assembly firmness and reliability of the suction cup, and enhancing assembly consistency and ease of assembly. Furthermore, since the locking member locks the power supply component in the second direction, it does not occupy space in the height direction of the main body, effectively reducing the space occupied by the suction cup in its own height direction and achieving a miniaturized layout.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 4A suction cup includes: a body 100 having a mounting groove 101 extending along a first direction X of the body 100; a locking member 200 movably disposed on the body 100, at least a portion of the locking member 200 extending into the mounting groove 101 and reciprocating along a second direction Y of the body 100, wherein the line containing the second direction Y is angled to the line containing the first direction X; and a power supply member 300 inserted into the mounting groove 101 along the first direction X and locked by the locking member 200 in the second direction Y.

[0028] In this embodiment, by providing a mounting groove 101 extending along the first direction X on the main body 100, the main body 100 and the power supply component 300 can be assembled in this direction, thereby achieving a detachable connection of the power supply component 300 and facilitating future battery replacement. Simultaneously, a movable locking member 200 is provided on the second direction Y of the main body 100 to lock the power supply component 300 inserted into the mounting groove 101 in this direction, ensuring a secure connection between the power supply component 300 and the main body 100, improving the assembly firmness and reliability of the suction cup, and enhancing assembly consistency and ease of assembly. Furthermore, since the locking member 200 locks the power supply component 300 in the second direction Y, it does not occupy space in the height direction of the main body 100, effectively reducing the space occupied by the suction cup in its own height direction and achieving a miniaturized layout.

[0029] Specifically, the suction cup is configured as a combined component comprising at least a main body 100, a locking element 200, and a power supply element 300. The main body 100 includes a mechanical housing, a motor, a pump or fan, an adsorption plate, and a control system. The motor, pump or fan, and control system are housed within the internal cavity of the mechanical housing. The adsorption plate is positioned below the mechanical housing for attaching to and adsorbing the surface of the workpiece to be processed. A mounting groove 101 is provided on the mechanical housing. The locking element 200 can be an elastic fastener, one end of which can be connected to the internal cavity of the mechanical housing via a screw / bolt or other fastener. At least a portion of the other end extends into the mounting groove 101 and can reciprocate, thereby locking or releasing the power supply element 300 inserted into the mounting groove 101 in the second direction Y. The power supply element 300 can be a battery pack used to provide power to the motor, pump or fan, and control system of the main body 100. The power supply component 300 of the suction cup provided in this example is easy to plug and unplug, can achieve elastic locking, and has a good locking effect; and when locked, it has a significant damping effect, which can effectively prevent the power supply component 300 from falling off when the suction cup is used upside down, thus improving the safety of product use.

[0030] It should be explained that the first direction X can be the vertical direction perpendicular to the ground when in use, and the second direction Y can be the horizontal direction parallel to the ground. The height direction of the host is the direction perpendicular to the ground.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one possible embodiment, the main body 100 is provided with a movable hole 102 communicating with the mounting groove 101. The locking member 200 includes a first connecting portion 210 and an elastic portion 220 connected together. The elastic portion 220 is connected to the main body 100 through the first connecting portion 210, and at least a portion of the elastic portion 220 can extend into the mounting groove 101 through the movable hole 102. The elastic portion 220 includes a second connecting segment 221 and a bent segment 222 connected together. The side of the second connecting segment 221 away from the bent segment 222 is connected to the first connecting portion 210, and at least a portion of the bent segment 222 can extend into the mounting groove 101 through the movable hole 102. The elastic portion 220 also includes a limiting segment 223 connected to the side of the bent segment 222 away from the second connecting segment 221. The projection of the limiting segment 223 on the first connecting portion 210 falls outside the projection of the second connecting segment 221 on the first connecting portion 210.

[0032] In this embodiment, the specific configuration of the locking member 200 is optimized. Specifically, the locking member 200 is configured as a combined component including at least a first connecting portion 210 and an elastic portion 220. The first connecting portion 210 can be a long sheet metal strip with through holes for fasteners such as screws / bolts to pass through and be fastened to the cavity inside the main unit. The elastic portion 220 can be a bent elastic sheet metal part, which includes at least a second connecting segment 221, a bent segment 222, and a limiting segment 223 connected in sequence. The second connecting segment 221 can be a straight plate, with one end vertically connected to the first connecting portion 210 and the other end extending vertically upward to provide potential energy for elastic movement of the bent segment 222 and the limiting segment 223. The bending section 222 can be a triangular plate protruding towards the mounting groove 101, which can move back and forth within the movable hole 102 to press against the power supply component 300, thereby locking and fixing the power supply component 300. The bottom end of the bending section 222 is connected to the suspended end of the second connecting section 221, and the top end extends vertically upward. The limiting section 223 can be a straight plate, with its bottom end vertically connected to the top of the bending section 222 and its top end extending vertically upward, to prevent the bending section 222 from detaching from the movable hole 102 and extending completely into the mounting groove 101, thus preventing it from being accommodated in the inner cavity of the main body 100, thereby improving the safety of the locking component 200. Furthermore, in the horizontal direction away from the mounting groove 101, the bent section 222 extends out of the second connecting section 221. This allows the elastic part 220 to extend into the mounting groove 101 and press against the power supply component 300, locking the power supply component 300 within the mounting groove 101 of the main body 100, thus achieving locking and fixing of the power supply component 300 and the main body 100. It also prevents the elastic part 220 from over-extending, allowing it to retract into the inner cavity of the main body 100 when the power supply component 300 is removed, improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the power supply component 300 and the user experience. The locking component 200 provided in this example has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, has low cost, and is beneficial for industrial production.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in one possible implementation, the mounting groove 101 is provided with a guide post 103 extending along the first direction X, and the power supply component 300 is provided with a guide groove 301, which is adapted to the guide post 103.

[0034] In this embodiment, an inner vertical guide post 103 is provided in the mounting groove 101 of the main body 100. One end of the guide post 103 is located at the bottom of the mounting groove 101, and the other end extends along the first direction X and is received within the mounting groove 101. Simultaneously, a recessed guide groove 301 is provided on the outer wall of the power supply component 300. This guide groove 301 extends along the first direction X to the middle position of the power supply component 300. The guide groove 301 is adapted to the guide post 103. After the power supply component 300 is inserted into the mounting groove 101, it is pushed downwards a certain distance. The guide groove 301 is engaged with the guide post 103, allowing the power supply component 300 to move precisely along the direction of the guide post until the power supply component 300 is inserted to the bottom of the mounting groove 101 and the top of the guide post 103 abuts against the top of the guide groove 301, thus completing the assembly of the power supply component 300 and the main body 100. The suction cup provided in this example has a precise assembly of the power supply component 300 and the main body 100, resulting in high assembly efficiency.

[0035] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one possible implementation, the power supply component 300 is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 302 corresponding to the locking component 200. At least a portion of the locking component 200 extending into the mounting groove 101 can be inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole 302 to lock the power supply component 300 and the main body 100.

[0036] In this embodiment, to further improve the locking effect of the locking member 200 on the power supply member 300, a snap-fit ​​hole 302 adapted to the elastic part 220 of the locking member 200 is provided on the outer wall of the power supply member 300. The snap-fit ​​hole 302 and the guide groove 301 are located on the same side of the power supply member 300 to facilitate processing. After the power supply member 300 is inserted into the mounting groove 101, it is pushed downward a certain distance. The guide groove 301 is fitted outside the guide post 103, and the power supply member 300 can move accurately along the direction of the guide member until the power supply member 300 is inserted into the bottom of the mounting groove 101, the top of the guide post 103 abuts against the top of the guide groove 301, and the elastic part 220 of the locking member 200 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole 302, thus completing the assembly of the power supply member 300 and the main body 100. The locking component 200 and the power supply component 300 of the suction cup provided in this example can simultaneously achieve interference fit and snap-fit ​​limit, resulting in a better locking effect on the power supply component 300. This can prevent the power supply component 300 from falling out of the mounting groove 101 when the suction cup is used upside down, further improving the safety of the suction cup.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one possible embodiment, the main body 100 includes a handle 110, an adsorption member 120, and two opposing supports 130. The two opposite ends of the handle 110 are respectively connected to the two opposing supports 130. The adsorption member 120 is connected to the other end of the two supports 130 and is opposite to the handle 110. A mounting groove 101 is provided on the outside of at least one support 130, and a locking member 200 is movably disposed within the corresponding support 130. The main body 100 also includes a conductive member, one end of which extends into the mounting groove 101 and can be electrically connected to an inserted power supply member 300, and the other end is electrically connected to a control board within the adsorption member 120. The handle 110 is provided with an anti-slip strip 140.

[0038] In this embodiment, the specific configuration of the main body 100 is optimized. Specifically, the main body 100 is configured as a combination component including at least a handle 110, an adsorption element 120, two supports 130, and a conductive element. The adsorption element 120 can be a disc-shaped structure for adsorbing the surface of the workpiece to be processed. The adsorption element 120 has a clearance hole in its middle area, which can reduce the overall weight of the adsorption element 120 and make it suitable for inverted adsorption scenarios. The bottom end of the support 130 is approximately boat-shaped and can be connected to the top surface of the adsorption element 120 by fasteners such as screws / bolts. The two supports 130 are located on opposite sides of the clearance hole. The top end of the support 130 is provided with a connecting inside corner, and the connecting inside corners of the two supports 130 correspond to each other. The handle 110 can be a near-column structure, with its two ends respectively engaging in the connecting inside corners of the two supports 130 and further fixed by fasteners such as screws / bolts. The side of the handle 110 away from the adsorption element 120 is provided with an anti-slip strip 140 to increase its friction with the hand and improve the anti-slip effect. The conductive component can be a conductive sheet that extends from the inner cavity of the main body 100 into the connecting groove, and is used to electrically connect the power supply component 300 and the control board inside the main body 100, thereby enabling power supply to the control board. The main body 100 provided in this example has a simple structure, compact layout, and is easy to assemble.
