Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of adsorption structure technology, specifically relating to a suction cup assembly and a splitting device. Background Technology

[0002] When laser cutting glass, it generally involves processes such as cutting and sharding. The cutting process involves using laser cutting equipment to create cutting lines on a large sheet of glass to form multiple smaller pieces. At this stage, the large sheet of glass is not completely cut off, but rather leaves a margin of approximately 0.1mm. The sharding process involves using sharding equipment to completely cut the large sheet of glass into multiple smaller pieces based on the cutting lines. To ensure material utilization, the laser cutting process uses collinear cutting, meaning the resulting smaller pieces of glass are in contact with each other. However, existing sharding equipment struggles to perfectly align adjacent smaller pieces during the transfer of these collinearly cut pieces, leading to collisions and chipping / damage. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned defects or deficiencies, this utility model provides a suction cup assembly and a glass-cutting device, aiming to solve the technical problem in the prior art that multiple cut glass pieces cannot be aligned, resulting in glass chipping and damage.

Each mounting cavity is equipped with a suction cup component, and the opening of each mounting cavity is located at the horizontal limiting surface. For products that have been cut into multiple sub-blocks, before the transfer operation, the rigid limiting seat is first pressed onto the product, so that the upper surface of the product is in contact with the horizontal limiting surface of the rigid limiting seat. Then, the suction cup component is activated, and the negative pressure generated by the suction cup component causes the product to adhere to the rigid limiting seat.

[0037] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the first aspect of this utility model provides a suction cup assembly, comprising:

[0039] The suction cup body includes a rigid limiting seat 1 and a suction cup component 2. A horizontal limiting surface 101 is formed on one side of the rigid limiting seat 1, and multiple mounting cavities 102 are spaced apart on the rigid limiting seat 1. Each mounting cavity 102 contains a suction cup component 2, and the opening of each mounting cavity 102 is located at the horizontal limiting surface 101. For products that have been cut into multiple sub-blocks, before the transfer operation, the rigid limiting seat 1 is first pressed onto the product, so that the upper surface of the product is in contact with the horizontal limiting surface 101 of the rigid limiting seat 1. Then, the suction cup component 2 is activated, and the negative pressure generated by the suction cup component 2 causes the product to adhere to the rigid limiting seat 1. The rigid limiting seat 1 can provide reverse stop and limit for the product, ensuring that any sub-block of the product remains at the same horizontal height, preventing collisions and squeezing between adjacent sub-blocks, ensuring that the sub-blocks do not chip or break, and improving the product qualification rate.

[0040] It should be noted that the suction cup assembly provided by this utility model is suitable for picking up and transporting glass products, but it can also be applied to products made of other materials, such as ceramics and metals, to avoid squeezing and collision between the cut sub-blocks.

[0041] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the suction cup assembly includes two types of suction cup bodies: a first suction cup body 100 and a second suction cup body 200. Both types of suction cup bodies include a rigid limiting seat 1 and a suction cup component 2.

[0042] Specifically, see Figures 1 to 4 The rigid limiting seat 1 of the first suction cup body 100 includes an adjusting plate 111 and a plurality of suction cup posts 112 spaced apart on the adjusting plate 111. The plurality of suction cup posts 112 are arranged at the same height to form a horizontal limiting surface 101, and each suction cup post 112 has a mounting cavity 102. The uniform distribution of the plurality of suction cup posts 112 allows the negative pressure to be applied evenly to the product surface, avoiding product damage caused by excessive local pressure.

[0043] Further, see Figure 4The adjusting plate 111 has multiple adjusting slots 113, and the suction cup posts 112 are slidably arranged along the adjusting slots 113. This allows the position of the suction cup posts 112 to be adjusted corresponding to the adjusting slots 113, and each adjusting slot 113 can contain one, two, or more suction cup posts 112, without limitation. The adjusting slots 113 allow for flexible adjustment of the position of the suction cup posts 112 according to the size and shape of the product, thereby ensuring that the first suction cup body 100 can tightly adhere to the product surface without replacing it, improving the versatility of the first suction cup body 100.

[0044] Further, see Figure 4 The adjustment plate 111 is provided with a suction cup area, and at least two adjustment grooves 113 spaced apart along a first horizontal direction and at least two adjustment grooves 113 spaced apart along a second horizontal direction are provided in the suction cup area. This design allows the suction cup column 112 to be adjusted in two directions on the adjustment plate 111, which greatly increases the flexibility and accuracy of position adjustment.

[0045] Furthermore, the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction are set to be orthogonal.

[0046] Further, see Figure 4 At least two adjustment slots 113 are provided in the suction cup area, spaced apart along a third horizontal direction, and the adjustment slots 113 along the third horizontal direction are located between the adjustment slots 113 along the first horizontal direction and the adjustment slots 113 along the second horizontal direction. This design further enhances the position adjustment capability of the suction cup column 112 on the adjustment plate 111. It is understood that, in specific embodiments, one suction cup column 112 can be provided at each adjustment slot 113, or suction cup columns 112 can be provided at some adjustment slots 113 depending on the specific shape and size of the product.

[0047] Further, see Figure 4 The adjustment plate 111 is provided with at least two suction cup areas. Each suction cup area is independently equipped with the aforementioned adjustment groove 113 design. This layout not only improves the flexibility of a single suction cup area, but also allows each suction cup area to independently adjust the position of the suction cup column 112 according to actual needs, thereby achieving precise adhesion to various parts of the object being adsorbed. When facing objects with complex shapes or diverse sizes, the coordinated work of multiple suction cup areas can significantly improve the overall adsorption effect and stability.

[0048] Furthermore, the adjustment plate 111 is provided with a connection structure for connecting with the corresponding driving component, and a suction cup area is provided on each side of the connection structure.

[0049] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The suction cup component 2 includes a main body 21 and a suction nozzle 22. The main body 21 is located inside the suction cup column 112, and the suction nozzle 22 can elastically retract from the main body 21 to the opening of the mounting cavity 102. When the suction cup column 112 is pressed onto the product, the suction nozzle 22 is compressed into the mounting cavity 102. It is understood that in order to ensure the suction effect of the suction cup body on the product, the suction nozzle 22 needs to achieve a sealed fit with the product. However, the suction nozzle 22 may have certain errors during manufacturing and installation. For example, the suction nozzle 22 may be completely inside the mounting cavity 102 and cannot fit with the product. The extended suction nozzle 22 can compensate for this error. The suction nozzle 22 is made of elastic material, and after being compressed, it retracts to a state flush with the horizontal limiting surface 101, which can ensure the suction effect on the product without causing the product to tilt.

[0050] Further, see Figure 4 The adjusting plate 111 has a first auxiliary groove 114 and a second auxiliary groove 115 provided with an interval adjustment groove 113. The suction cup component 2 passes through the adjustment groove 113. The rigid limiting seat 1 also includes a first connector and a second connector, which pass through the first auxiliary groove 114 and the second auxiliary groove 115 respectively and are connected to the suction cup column 112. The adjustment groove 113 is used to allow the upper end of the suction cup component 2 to pass freely, and the first auxiliary groove 114 and the second auxiliary groove 115 are used to allow the connector between the suction cup column 112 and the adjusting plate 111 to pass freely, so that the connector can avoid the suction cup component 2, which is convenient for installation.

[0051] Furthermore, the connector is a bolt, which passes through the auxiliary groove to connect to the suction cup column 112. The bolt nut abuts against the adjusting plate 111. By tightening the bolt, the suction cup column 112 can be fixed or loosened. Of course, in other specific embodiments, the bolt can also be set to directly pass through the adjusting groove 113 to connect to the suction cup column 112.

[0052] Specifically, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The rigid limiting seat 1 of the second suction cup body 200 includes an adhesive plate 121, which forms a horizontal limiting surface 101 and multiple mounting cavities 102 arranged in an array. The design of the adhesive plate 121 allows each mounting cavity 102 to accurately position a sub-block, improving the stability of the adsorption.

[0053] Further, see Figure 6 Multiple mounting cavities 102 extend along the same horizontal direction, and each mounting cavity 102 is provided with at least two suction cups 2, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the mounting cavity 102. By providing two suction cups 2 in one mounting cavity 102, two adsorption points can be generated on the sub-block of the product, enhancing the overall adsorption effect.

[0054] Furthermore, the suction cup assembly also includes a soft damping cloth, which is disposed on the horizontal limiting surface 101 of the bonding plate 121. The function of the damping cloth is to prevent the product from scratching and abrading the bonding plate 121.

[0055] It should be noted that both the first suction cup 100 and the second suction cup 200 can be used to pick up and transport products with cutting patterns after preliminary cutting and products that have been completely split into multiple sub-blocks after collinear cutting. From the perspective of equipment cost, the first suction cup 100 is preferably used to pick up and transport products after preliminary cutting. Since adjacent sub-blocks are still connected, the number of suction cup columns 112 can be less than the number of sub-blocks. The second suction cup is preferably used to pick up and transport products after collinear cutting. After collinear cutting, adjacent sub-blocks are completely separated, so each mounting cavity 102 on the bonding plate 121 corresponds to one sub-block.

[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, in order to achieve the above objectives, the second aspect of this utility model provides a dicing device, which includes a transfer device and the above-mentioned suction cup assembly, wherein the transfer device is connected to the suction cup assembly.

[0057] Specifically, the transfer device includes a first moving component 400 and a second moving component 500. The first moving component 400 is used to drive the first suction cup body 100 to move between the loading station and the processing station, and the second moving component 500 is used to drive the second suction cup body 200 to move between the unloading station and the processing station.

[0058] Further, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first moving component 400 includes two first linear tracks and first driving members movably disposed on the two first linear tracks one-to-one. The two first linear tracks are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The first driving members have lifting and rotating functions, and each first driving member is connected to a first suction cup body 100. See also Figure 7 and Figure 9 The second moving component 500 includes a second linear track and two second driving members that move independently along the second linear track. The second linear track is located between two first linear tracks and is horizontally and vertically arranged with the two first linear tracks. The second driving members have lifting and rotating functions, and each second driving member is connected to a second limiting member of a second suction cup module. The dicing equipment also includes a dicing device 300 forming a processing station, a feeding line forming a feeding station, and a feeding line forming a feeding station. The feeding line is located between two first linear tracks and is parallel to and spaced apart from the two first linear guides. There are two feeding lines, which are located on the side of the first linear track away from the dicing device 300, and both feeding lines are parallel to the second linear guides.

[0059] The above design enables dual-station operation, reducing the space occupied by the equipment. It should be noted that the functions of each component in the first moving assembly 400 and the second moving assembly 500 are standard functions of automated equipment; therefore, the structural features that enable their specific functions will not be described in detail.
