Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material handling technology, and more specifically, to a vacuum adsorption handling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The basic working principle of a vacuum suction handling mechanism is as follows: First, the vacuum suction cup is connected to a vacuum device via a connecting pipe. Then, it comes into contact with the surface of the item to be lifted, and the vacuum device is activated to create negative pressure inside the suction cup, thus firmly adhering to the item. The handling mechanism can then move the adsorbed item. When the item is delivered to its destination, air is smoothly injected into the vacuum suction cup, changing the negative pressure inside the suction cup to zero pressure or a slightly positive pressure. The vacuum suction cup then detaches from the item, thus completing the task of lifting and moving heavy objects.

[0003] Vacuum adsorption systems rely on continuous negative pressure to adsorb items. If a leak occurs in the system (such as damage to the suction cups, pipes, or valves), the vacuum may be lost, causing items to fall off and become damaged. Uneven surfaces can also lead to poor contact between the suction cups and the surface of the items, potentially causing items to fall off during handling. Consequently, the reliability and safety of vacuum adsorption handling are compromised. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a vacuum adsorption type conveying mechanism.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vacuum adsorption type conveying mechanism, including a mounting plate, a control component mounted on the inner side of the mounting plate, movable components mounted on both sides of the bottom of the control component, a protective component mounted on the side of the movable component, a vacuum suction cup mounted in the middle of the bottom of the mounting plate, guide plates fixedly connected to the front and back of the bottom of the mounting plate, the control component including a motor fixedly connected to the right side of the mounting plate, a screw fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, movable plates mounted on both sides of the outer side of the screw, a connecting block fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate, the movable component including a fixed frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block, and a cylindrical rod fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed frame.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the protective component includes a movable plate that is movably sleeved on the outside of the cylindrical rod, a support plate that is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate, and a protective plate that is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side of the support plate.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a protective pad is fixedly connected to the top of the protective plate, and the protective pad is made of polyurethane foam.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the guide plate is provided with a guide groove, which includes an oblique guide groove and a horizontal guide groove.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, guide blocks are fixedly connected to both the front and back of the movable plate, and the guide blocks are slidably connected to the inclined guide groove and the horizontal guide groove.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, external threads are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the screw, the two external threads have opposite thread directions, and the external threads are threadedly connected to the moving plate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rectangular groove is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate, and the rectangular groove is slidably connected to the connecting block.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model, by comprising a control component, a guide plate, a moving component, and a protective component, lifts an item using vacuum suction. The motor then drives the screw to rotate, causing the two protective components to move closer together. During this movement, the inclined guide groove guides the guide block, causing the movable plate to move downwards along the outer side of the cylindrical rod, making the height of the protective plate lower than the bottom of the item. When the guide block moves to the inner side of the horizontal guide groove, the protective plate moves horizontally, positioning itself below the item. This protects the item from falling to the ground and causing damage during vacuum suction transport, thus improving safety and reliability.

[0014] 2. This utility model is equipped with a control component, a guide plate, a moving component, and a protective component. When the motor drives the screw to reverse, the two moving components move away from each other, while the protective component moves towards the bottom of the mounting plate. This prevents the protective plate from getting too close to the vacuum suction cup or from extending too far downward, which would affect the vacuum suction cup's gripping of materials.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a vacuum adsorption type conveying mechanism, including a mounting plate 1. A control component 2 is mounted on the inner side of the mounting plate 1. Movable components 4 are mounted on both sides of the bottom of the control component 2. Protective components 5 are mounted on the sides of the movable components 4. A vacuum suction cup 101 is mounted in the middle of the bottom of the mounting plate 1. Guide plates 3 are fixedly connected to the front and back of the bottom of the mounting plate 1. The control component 2 includes a motor 201 fixedly connected to the right side of the mounting plate 1. A screw 202 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 201. Movable plates 203 are mounted on both sides of the outer side of the screw 202. A connecting block 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 203. The movable component 4 includes a fixing frame 401 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 204. A cylindrical rod 402 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing frame 401. A rectangular groove 102 is opened at the bottom of the mounting plate 1. The rectangular groove 102 is slidably connected to the connecting block 204.

[0023] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 1 is connected to an external moving control mechanism. First, the vacuum suction cup 101 vacuum-adsorbs the item. Then, the motor 201 is started to drive the screw 202 to rotate. Under the thread thrust of the external thread 221, the two moving plates 203 drive the fixed frame 401 to move closer to each other through the connecting block 204. Thus, the two protective components 5 move closer to each other. During the movement, the inclined guide groove 301 guides the guide block 502, so that the moving plate 501 moves downward along the outer side of the cylindrical rod 402, making the height of the protective plate 504 lower than the height of the bottom of the item. When the guide block 502 moves to the inner side of the horizontal guide groove 302, the protective plate 504 moves horizontally, placing the protective plate 504 below the item, which can protect the item and prevent it from falling off during the vacuum suction cup 101 adsorption and movement, thus improving the safety and reliability of the vacuum adsorption and handling process.

[0024] The protective component 5 includes a movable plate 501 that is movably sleeved on the outside of the cylindrical rod 402. A support plate 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 501, and a protective plate 504 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side of the support plate 503.

[0025] The cylindrical rod 402 serves to position the movable plate 501, enabling the movable plate 501 to move vertically and stably along the outer side of the cylindrical rod 402.

[0026] The protective plate 504 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective pad 505, which is made of polyurethane foam.

[0027] The 505 protective pad can cushion falling materials, effectively absorbing impact energy and reducing vibration.

[0028] The guide plate 3 has a guide groove on its surface, which includes an oblique guide groove 301 and a horizontal guide groove 302. The front and back of the movable plate 501 are fixedly connected to guide blocks 502, and the guide blocks 502 are slidably connected to the oblique guide groove 301 and the horizontal guide groove 302.

[0029] Guided by the inclined guide groove 301, when the moving component 4 is moving, the protective component 5 can move vertically along the cylindrical rod 402.

[0030] The screw 202 has external threads 221 on both sides of its outer surface. The two external threads 221 have opposite thread directions and are threadedly connected to the movable plate 203.

[0031] When the motor 201 drives the screw 202 to reverse, the two moving components 4 move away from each other, while the protective component 5 moves towards the bottom of the mounting plate 1 to prevent the protective plate 504 from affecting the vacuum suction cup 101's gripping of materials.

[0032] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0033] The mounting plate 1 is connected to an external moving control mechanism. First, the vacuum suction cup 101 vacuum-adsorbs the item. Then, the motor 201 is started to drive the screw 202 to rotate. Under the thread thrust of the external thread 221, the two moving plates 203 move towards each other through the connecting block 204, causing the fixed frame 401 to move closer to each other. Thus, the two protective components 5 move towards each other. During the movement, the inclined guide groove 301 guides the guide block 502, so that the moving plate 501 moves downward along the outside of the cylindrical rod 402, making the height of the protective plate 504 lower than the bottom of the item. When the guide block 502 moves to the inside of the horizontal guide groove 302, the protective plate 504 moves horizontally, placing the protective plate 504 below the item, which can protect the item and prevent it from falling to the ground and being damaged during the vacuum suction cup 101 adsorption and movement process. This improves the safety and reliability of the vacuum adsorption and handling process.
