Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum material suction, and in particular to a material suction device that moves in multiple directions. Background Technology

[0002] Because traditional vacuum feeders cannot move, when feeding materials, problems such as excessive distance between material storage areas or the presence of gaps between materials may occur. For example, materials may be stored in different workshops, and manual or mechanical handling is required when moving them, resulting in low production efficiency and high production costs.

[0003] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes a material suction device that can realize multi-directional material feeding and stable multi-directional movement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a material suction device that can achieve multi-directional material handling and stable movement.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a multi-directional moving suction device, including a lifting platform, a vertical lifting mechanism, a base, a suction pipe mounted on the lifting platform, a telescopic moving mechanism and a guiding mechanism, and a traveling mechanism mounted on the base. The lifting platform and the base are connected by the lifting mechanism, and the vertical lifting mechanism drives the lifting platform to reciprocate along the Z-axis. The suction pipe is mounted on the telescopic moving mechanism, which drives the suction pipe to reciprocate along the X-axis. The guiding mechanism cooperates with the telescopic moving mechanism to guide the suction pipe to move along the X-axis. The traveling mechanism drives the base to move along the Y-axis.

[0006] Furthermore, the other end of the suction pipe is connected to a vacuum feeding device.

[0007] Furthermore, the telescopic moving mechanism includes: a primary drive unit and a fixing member, wherein the suction tube is fixed to the movable end of the primary drive unit, and the fixing member is used to fix the suction tube to the movable end of the primary drive unit.

[0008] Furthermore, the guiding mechanism includes a limiting frame, at least one position sensor, a support member, and a support pulley. The limiting frame is fixedly installed on the lifting platform, and the suction pipe is movably inserted through the inner side of the limiting frame. The position sensor is installed on the outer side of the limiting frame. The support pulley is rotatably connected to one end of the support member by a pre-set bolt. The other end of the support member is fixedly installed on the lifting platform. The position sensor is used to detect the extension or retraction of the suction pipe, and the support pulley is used to support the reciprocating movement of the suction pipe along the Y-axis.

[0009] Furthermore, the vertical lifting mechanism includes at least one hydraulic drive unit, two primary lifting arms and two secondary lifting arms, a primary connecting arm, a secondary connecting arm, at least one primary rotating arm, and at least one secondary rotating arm. The primary lifting arms and secondary lifting arms are hinged to each other by a pre-set pin. Two sliding grooves are symmetrically formed on one side of the bottom surface of the lifting platform, and two primary connecting parts are symmetrically formed on the other side. Two secondary connecting parts are symmetrically formed on one side of the top surface of the base. The rotating end of the primary lifting arm is rotatably connected to the primary connecting part, and the rotating end of the secondary lifting arm is rotatably connected to the secondary connecting part.

[0010] Furthermore, the sliding end of the first-stage lifting arm is provided with a first-stage sliding wheel, and the sliding end of the second-stage lifting arm is provided with a second-stage sliding wheel. The second-stage sliding wheel is engaged in and slidably connected to the sliding groove. The sliding ends of the two first-stage lifting arms are connected by a first-stage connecting arm, and the middle parts of the two second-stage lifting arms are connected by a second-stage connecting arm.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description of it is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0025] See appendix Figure 1As shown, a rectangular coordinate system with XYZ axes is established. In this embodiment, a multi-directional moving suction device includes a lifting platform 1, a vertical lifting mechanism 2, a base 6, a suction pipe 3 mounted on the lifting platform 1, a telescopic moving mechanism 4 and a guiding mechanism 5, and a traveling mechanism 7 mounted on the base 6. The lifting platform 1 and the base 6 are connected by the lifting mechanism, and the vertical lifting mechanism 2 is used to drive the lifting platform 1 to reciprocate along the Z-axis. The suction pipe 3 is mounted on the telescopic moving mechanism 4, and the other end of the suction pipe 3 is connected to a vacuum feeding device to achieve the suction function. The telescopic moving mechanism 4 is used to drive the suction pipe 3 to reciprocate along the X-axis. The guide mechanism 5 is used to cooperate with the telescopic moving mechanism 4 to guide the suction pipe 3 to move along the X-axis, and the walking mechanism 7 is used to drive the base 6 to move along the Y-axis. Unlike traditional fixed suction devices, which occupy a large area and require manual or mechanical handling to move materials closer to the suction device when they are far from the material, the suction device in this embodiment achieves relative movement of the suction device in the XYZ three-axis directions through the cooperation of the vertical lifting mechanism 2, the telescopic moving mechanism 4 and the walking mechanism 7. This allows the suction pipe 3 to actively approach the material to realize the function of material suction and transportation, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0026] See appendix Figure 1 As shown, the telescopic moving mechanism 4 further includes: a primary drive unit 41 and a fixing member 42. The suction pipe 3 is fixed to the movable end of the primary drive unit 41, and the fixing member 42 is used to fix the suction pipe 3 to the movable end of the primary drive unit 41, so that the extension and retraction length of the suction pipe 3 allows the suction end of the moved suction pipe 3 to contact the material, thereby realizing the suction function.

[0027] See appendix Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the guiding mechanism 5 includes a limiting frame 51, at least one position sensor (preferably two), a support member 53, and a support pulley 54. The limiting frame 51 is fixedly installed on the lifting platform 1, and the suction pipe 3 is movably inserted through the inner side of the limiting frame 51, thereby preventing the suction end of the suction pipe 3 from shifting during extension or retraction, which would affect the suction and transportation efficiency and ensure the orderly progress of production. The position sensor 52 is installed on the outer side of the limiting frame 51, and the support pulley 54 is rotatably connected to one end of the support member 53 by a pre-set bolt. The other end of the support member 53 is fixedly installed on the lifting platform 1. The position sensor 52 is used to detect the extension or retraction of the suction tube 3, thereby preventing the first-stage drive unit 41 from driving the suction tube 3 to extend or retract excessively, reducing maintenance costs. Secondly, the position sensor transmits the extension or retraction of the suction tube 3 in real time, allowing the pre-set control mechanism at the back end to control the suction tube 3 to move to the corresponding material location for suction and transportation, thereby realizing the automation of the suction equipment operation. The support pulley 54 is used to support the suction tube 3 to move back and forth along the Y-axis, thereby preventing the suction tube 3 from failing to retract normally after it extends due to the downward displacement of the suction end caused by gravity.

[0028] See appendix Figure 3-8As shown, in this embodiment, the vertical lifting mechanism 2 includes at least one hydraulic drive unit 21, two primary lifting arms 22 and two secondary lifting arms 23, a primary connecting arm 222, a secondary connecting arm 231, at least one primary rotating arm 24, and at least one secondary rotating arm 25. The primary lifting arms 22 and the secondary lifting arms 23 are hinged to each other by a preset pin. Two sliding grooves 11 are symmetrically formed on one side of the bottom surface of the lifting platform 1, and two primary connecting parts 12 are symmetrically formed on the other side. Two secondary connecting parts 61 are symmetrically formed on one side of the top surface of the base 6. The rotating end of the primary lifting arm 22 is rotatably connected to the primary connecting part 12, and the rotating end of the secondary lifting arm 23 is rotatably connected to the secondary connecting part 61, so that the connection position between the relevant lifting arm and the connecting part is a rotatable fixed point; a primary sliding wheel 221 is provided on the sliding end of the primary lifting arm 22, so that... When the primary lifting arm 22 descends or rises relative to the base 6 along the Z-axis with the lifting platform 1, the primary sliding wheel 221 can slide relative to the top surface of the base 6, avoiding direct sliding contact between the primary lifting arm 22 and the base 6, thus preventing damage to the primary lifting arm 22 and reducing maintenance costs; the sliding end of the secondary lifting arm 23 is provided with a secondary sliding wheel 232, and the secondary sliding wheel 232 is engaged in and slidably connected to the slide groove 11; the sliding ends of the two primary lifting arms 22 are connected by a primary connecting arm 222, and the middle parts of the two secondary lifting arms 23 are connected by a secondary connecting arm 231; one end of the primary rotating arm 24 is connected to the primary connecting arm 222, and the other end is hinged to the telescopic end of the hydraulic drive unit 21; one end of the secondary rotating arm 25 is hinged to the other end of the hydraulic drive unit 21, and the other end is connected to the secondary rotating arm 25;

[0029] Specifically, see Appendix Figure 5-8As shown, when the suction device in this embodiment rises along the Z-axis, the telescopic end of the hydraulic drive unit 21 extends, driving the first-stage rotating arm 24 to push the first-stage connecting arm 222, increasing the angle between the first-stage lifting arm 22 and the upper end surface (horizontal plane) of the base 6. Simultaneously, with the first-stage lifting arm 22 and the second-stage lifting arm 23 hinged together, the angle between the second-stage lifting arm 23 and the lower end surface (horizontal plane) of the lifting platform 1 increases, causing the second-stage sliding wheel 232 to slide relative to the second-stage connecting part 61 within the sliding groove 11 of the lifting platform 1, thereby causing the suction device to rise along the Z-axis. Conversely, when the suction device in this embodiment... When the material feeding device descends along the Z-axis, the telescopic end of the hydraulic drive unit 21 retracts, driving the first-stage rotating arm 24 to pull the first-stage connecting arm 222, thereby reducing the angle between the first-stage lifting arm 22 and the upper end face (horizontal plane) of the base 6. At the same time, with the first-stage lifting arm 22 and the second-stage lifting arm 23 hinged together, the angle between the second-stage lifting arm 23 and the lower end face (horizontal plane) of the lifting platform 1 decreases, causing the second-stage sliding wheel 232 to slide relative to the second-stage connecting part 61 in the sliding groove 11 of the lifting platform 1, thereby causing the material feeding device to descend along the Z-axis and realize the function of feeding and transporting materials at different heights.

[0030] See appendix Figure 3 , 4As shown, in this embodiment, the walking mechanism 7 includes: four walking wheels 71, two transmission rods 72, a secondary drive unit 73, and two auxiliary rollers 74. The walking wheels 71 are mounted on the ends of the transmission rods 72. A transmission gear 731 is provided on the driving end of the secondary drive unit 73, and a driven wheel 721 is provided on the transmission rod 72. The transmission gear 731 drives the driven wheel 721 to rotate via a pre-set belt, thereby causing the secondary drive unit 73 to drive the transmission rod 72 and move the walking wheels 71 along the guide rail 75 (which needs to be laid along the Y-axis in the working environment). Four fixing parts 62 and four mounting parts 63 are protruding from the bottom surface of the base 6. The transmission rods 72 are rotatably connected to the fixing parts 62, and a bearing is provided between the transmission rods 72 and the mounting / fixing parts 62. The auxiliary rollers 74 rotate. Connected to the mounting part 63, the auxiliary roller 74 is used to cooperate with the traveling wheel 71, so that the traveling wheel 71 contacts the upper surface of the guide rail 75, and the auxiliary roller 74 contacts the lower surface of the guide rail 75, thereby causing the traveling wheel 71 and the auxiliary roller 74 to roll and clamp on the preset guide rail 75, achieving stable movement of the suction device in this embodiment. Specifically, by using the rolling clamping cooperation of the auxiliary roller 74 and the traveling wheel 71, unlike suction devices that move by setting universal wheels, which require more manpower to simultaneously control the movement and material transport of the suction device, the movement of the suction device in this embodiment is more stable. It can be controlled by a single operator. The suction device can simultaneously pick up and transport materials while moving along the guide rail 75, thereby reducing production costs and improving the anti-interference ability of the suction device. In addition, see the attached drawing. Figure 4 As shown, the inner side of the traveling wheel 71 has a protrusion formed to prevent the traveling wheel 71 from detaching from the guide rail 75.

Any modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from its scope are equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the concept of this utility model without departing from its scope should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
