Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automobile manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a metal cylinder-shaped suction cup. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive manufacturing industry is a core industry in modern industry that is technology-intensive, capital-intensive, and has a long and highly interconnected industrial chain. It covers the entire process from R&D and design, parts production, vehicle assembly to after-sales service. With the continuous improvement of the automation level of automobile manufacturing plants, especially the emergence of multi-station automated production lines, the use of robots or robotic arms to replace manual operations has become a trend. In order to improve production efficiency, end effectors for quickly picking up materials need to be installed on robots or robotic arms, and metal cylinder suction cups are one type of end effector.

[0003] Existing suction cups cannot adaptively adjust to the height difference of the object's surface when adsorbing and transferring objects of different shapes, resulting in poor adhesion between the suction cup and the object and thus reducing the stability of adsorption. To address this, we propose a metal cylinder-shaped suction cup. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a metal cylinder-shaped suction cup to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a metal cylinder-shaped suction cup, including a fixing block, a support shaft fixedly mounted on the surface of the fixing block, a disc rotatably connected to the bottom end of the support shaft via a ball joint, connecting blocks symmetrically fixedly mounted on both sides of the fixing block, telescopic components symmetrically fixedly mounted on both sides of the bottom of the connecting blocks, the telescopic components being fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting blocks via a top seat, a cavity being formed inside the top seat, a spring being installed inside the cavity, a sliding hole being formed at the bottom of the cavity, a slider being fixedly connected to the bottom end of the spring, a connecting rod being fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider, the connecting rod slidingly passing through the inner side of the sliding hole, a contact head being fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the connecting rod, the bottom end of the contact head contacting the surface of the disc, a base being fixedly mounted at the bottom of the disc, screws symmetrically mounted at the four corners of the base, and a suction cup being mounted at the bottom of the screws.

[0006] Preferably, mounting plates are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the fixing block. A screw is threadedly rotatably sleeved on one end surface of the mounting plate. A limit rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw. The screw and the mounting plate are fixedly connected by bolts. Limit holes are opened through both sides of the base. The limit rod passes through the inner side of the limit hole.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting plate and the two ends of the fixing block are fixedly connected by screws.

[0008] Preferably, an anti-wear pad is fixedly installed on the outer ring of the bottom surface of the suction cup.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly installed at the top end of the support shaft, and the surface of the connecting plate has multiple sets of fixing holes arranged in a ring.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom surfaces of the lower contact heads of the connecting rod are on the same horizontal plane.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] With the telescopic component, when the spring is compressed, the suction cup retracts inward to automatically adjust the angle, and when stretched, the suction cup expands outward to make the disc horizontal. This allows it to adapt to product surfaces with different shapes and ensures good contact and self-adaptability. The suction cup can automatically adjust the contact state according to the shape of the product surface to ensure stable adsorption and release. Attached Figure Description

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a metal cylinder-shaped suction cup, including a fixing block 1, a support shaft 2 fixedly mounted on the surface of the fixing block 1, a disc 9 rotatably connected to the bottom end of the support shaft 2 via a ball joint, connecting blocks 7 symmetrically fixedly mounted on both sides of the fixing block 1, telescopic components 8 symmetrically fixedly mounted on both sides of the bottom of the connecting blocks 7, the top of the telescopic components 8 being fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting blocks 7 via a top seat 801, a cavity 802 being formed on the inner side of the top seat 801, and a spring being installed on the inner side of the cavity 802. Spring 803, the bottom of cavity 802 has a sliding hole 805, the bottom end of spring 803 is fixedly connected to slider 804, the bottom of slider 804 is fixedly connected to connecting rod 806, connecting rod 806 slides through the inside of sliding hole 805, the bottom end of connecting rod 806 is fixedly installed with contact head 807, the bottom end of contact head 807 contacts the surface of disk 9, the bottom of disk 9 is fixedly installed with base 10, the four corners of base 10 are symmetrically installed with screws 11, and the bottom of screw 11 is installed with suction cup 12.

[0020] Specifically, mounting plates 5 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the fixing block 1. A screw rod 16 is threaded and rotated on one end of the mounting plate 5. A limit rod 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw rod 16. The screw rod 16 and the mounting plate 5 are fixedly connected by bolts 17. Limit holes 14 are opened through both sides of the base 10. The limit rod 15 passes through the inner side of the limit hole 14.

[0021] Specifically, the mounting plate 5 and the two ends of the fixing block 1 are fixedly connected by screws 6.

[0022] Specifically, an anti-wear pad 13 is fixedly installed on the outer ring of the bottom surface of the suction cup 12.

[0023] Specifically, a connecting plate 3 is fixedly installed at the top of the support shaft 2, and multiple sets of fixing holes 4 are circumferentially formed on the surface of the connecting plate 3.

[0024] Specifically, the bottom surfaces of the lower contact head 807 of the connecting rod 806 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0025] In this embodiment, the device can be connected and fixed to the driving mechanism via the connecting plate 3 and the fixing hole 4, facilitating its position movement. When material needs to be adsorbed and transferred, the driving mechanism moves the device downward to contact the surface of the material. The bottom end of the support shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the disc 9 via a ball joint, allowing the disc 9 and the base 10 to rotate at different angles. When the suction cup 12 of the base 10 is in contact with the surface of the material, the continuous downward pressure will cause the base 10 and the disc 9 to adaptively adjust their angles according to the shape of the material. The connecting rod 806 drives the spring 803 inside the top seat 801 to compress, so that the suction cup 12 can adhere to the material surface after the angle is adjusted. When the spring 803 is compressed, the suction cup 12 retracts inward and expands outward when stretched, so that the disc 9 is in a horizontal state. This adapts to the product surface with different shapes and ensures good contact and self-adaptability. The suction cup 12 can automatically adjust the contact state according to the shape of the product surface to ensure stable adsorption and release. The limiting rod 15 and the limiting hole 14 can prevent the base 10 from shifting and affecting subsequent use.
