Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transfer equipment technology, specifically to an easily adjustable operating device. Background Technology

[0002] For substrates with smooth surfaces that are easily scratched, vacuum suction cups are typically used for transfer. Vacuum suction cups can grip and move substrates without making rigid contact with the substrate surface, effectively avoiding surface scratches, indentations, and other damage that may be caused by traditional mechanical clamps, thus ensuring the integrity and quality of the substrate.

[0003] Currently, when using vacuum suction cup equipment, the equipment only has the function of synchronous lifting of all suction cups, and the position of the suction cups is not adjustable. This makes it impossible to find a suitable adsorption point for some irregularly shaped substrates, resulting in poor adsorption effect or even no adsorption. Furthermore, it is impossible to quickly adjust the position of the suction cups according to the size of the substrate, making the vacuum suction cup transfer equipment inconvenient to use.

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-7 An easily adjustable operating device includes a mounting platform 1, a moving mechanism 2 on the top of the mounting platform 1, a plurality of driving mechanisms 3 on the surface of the moving mechanism 2, an angle adjustment mechanism 4 on the surface of the driving mechanism 3, a lifting mechanism 5 on the surface of the angle adjustment mechanism 4, and a suction cup mechanism 6 on the surface of the lifting mechanism 5.

[0028] The moving mechanism 2 includes two linear modules 201. The linear modules 201 are fixed to the top of the mounting platform 1. Side plates 202 are fixed to the surface of the moving parts of the linear modules 201. A combination platform 203 is fixed between the two side plates 202. A first linear slide rail 204 and a rack plate 205 are fixed to the surface of the combination platform 203.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, the moving mechanism 2 provides a basic moving support platform for the entire equipment. The linear module 201, relying on the internal screw transmission principle, converts the rotational motion of the motor into the linear motion of the moving parts along a set direction. The linear module 201 can drive the moving parts to move the side plates 202, and the fixed combination platform 203 between the side plates 202 moves as a whole. The mounting platform 1 serves as the main frame to support all components. The drive mechanism 3 is installed on the surface of the moving mechanism 2 and is used to drive the angle adjustment mechanism 4 to adjust the orientation. The angle adjustment mechanism 4 drives the lifting mechanism 5 to change the posture, and the lifting mechanism 5 in turn controls the height position of the suction cup mechanism 6, so as to respond to the adsorption needs of substrates of different heights and angles. The hierarchical linkage of each mechanism, through mechanical transmission control, enables the suction cup mechanism 6 to be flexibly positioned in three-dimensional space, providing a precise adsorption solution for substrates with complex shapes and sizes, and meeting the material transfer requirements in diverse production scenarios.

[0030] The drive mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 301, a first slider 302 fixed on the surface of the mounting frame 301, the first slider 302 being slidably connected to the surface of the first linear slide rail 204, a first motor 303 fixed at the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting frame 301, the output shaft of the first motor 303 passing through the mounting frame 301 and fixed to a connecting shaft 304, a gear 305 fixed on the surface of the connecting shaft 304, the gear 305 meshing with the surface of the rack plate 205, and an air pump 306 fixed at the top of the mounting frame 301, the air pump 306 having a vacuum generator 307 connected to its suction end.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, after the first motor 303 starts, its rotational power is transmitted to the gear 305 through the connecting shaft 304. The gear 305 meshes with the rack plate 205 to generate relative motion, which drives the mounting frame 301 to slide along the first linear slide rail 204 through the first slider 302, thereby realizing the longitudinal position adjustment of the entire drive mechanism 3 on the assembly table 203. The air pump 306 generates negative pressure, which is transmitted to the vacuum generator 307 through the pipeline, providing a stable vacuum adsorption source for the subsequent suction cup mechanism 6. The two work together to complete the preparation work before gripping the substrate, and flexibly adjust their own position and adsorption capacity according to the position of the substrate and the adsorption requirements.

[0032] The angle adjustment mechanism 4 includes a square expansion plate 401, which is fixed to the surface of the mounting frame 301. A bracket 402 is fixed to the surface of the square expansion plate 401. Rotating shafts 403 are rotatably connected to both sides of the surface of the square expansion plate 401. A mounting plate 404 is fixed between the two rotating shafts 403. A second motor 405 is fixed to the surface of the bracket 402. The output shaft of the second motor 405 is fixedly connected to one rotating shaft 403.

[0033] Through the above technical solution, the output shaft of the second motor 405 rotates, driving the connected rotating shaft 403 to rotate. Since the two rotating shafts 403 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 404, the mounting plate 404 rotates around the center line of the rotating shaft 403 within the space defined by the square expansion plate 401, thereby changing the spatial posture angle of the upper connecting component of the mounting plate 404, so that the suction cup mechanism 6 can fit against the surface of the substrate with a certain inclined surface or special shape, ensuring the maximum adsorption contact area, meeting the adsorption needs of complex shaped substrates, and improving the adsorption stability.

[0034] The lifting mechanism 5 includes an L-shaped plate 501, an extension block 502 fixed to the back of the L-shaped plate 501, the extension block 502 being fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 404, an electric cylinder 503 fixed to the top of the L-shaped plate 501, one end of the electric cylinder 503 passing through the L-shaped plate 501 and fixed to a slide table 504, and a vacuum generator 307 fixed to the surface of the slide table 504.

[0035] Through the above technical solution, the electric cylinder 503 can make the slide table 504 move up and down along the vertical direction set by the L-shaped plate 501. The slide table 504 drives the vacuum generator 307 fixed on its surface to move up and down synchronously, thereby changing the height position of the suction cup mechanism 6 relative to the substrate and achieving precise adsorption height positioning.

[0036] The suction cup mechanism 6 includes an extension connecting block 601, which is fixed to the surface of the L-shaped plate 501. A suction conduit 602 slides through the surface of the extension connecting block 601. A base block 603 is fixed to the surface of the suction conduit 602. An air nozzle 604 is connected to the top of the suction conduit 602. A fastening nut 605 is threadedly connected to the top of the suction conduit 602. The bottom of the fastening nut 605 contacts the top of the extension connecting block 601. A spring 606 is fixed to the top of the base block 603. A conduit limiting block 607 is fixed to the top of the spring 606. The top of the conduit limiting block 607 contacts the bottom of the extension connecting block 601. The suction cup body 608 is connected to the bottom of the suction conduit 602. A vacuum generator 307 is connected to the air nozzle 604.

[0037] Through the above technical solution, the negative pressure generated by the vacuum generator 307 is transmitted to the inside of the suction duct 602 through the air nozzle 604. The suction duct 602 guides the negative pressure to the suction cup body 608 connected to the bottom, so that the air pressure inside the suction cup body 608 is lower than the external atmospheric pressure, thereby generating an adsorption force to adsorb the substrate under the action of pressure difference. The spring 606 is installed between the bottom block 603 and the duct limiting block 607. When the suction cup body 608 contacts the substrate surface and is pressed, the spring 606 undergoes elastic deformation, allowing the suction duct 602 to slide slightly within the extension connecting block 601, realizing the flexible fit between the suction cup body 608 and the substrate surface, and compensating for the micro-unevenness of the substrate surface. After the fastening nut 605 is tightened, it abuts against the top of the extension connecting block 601 to prevent the suction duct 602 from sliding out excessively, while limiting the installation position and range of motion of the suction duct 602. By adjusting the degree of screwing in the fastening nut 605, the extension length of the suction tube 602 can be finely adjusted, thereby changing the initial extension amount of the suction cup body 608 to adapt to the adsorption requirements of different substrates and ensure a stable and reliable adsorption process.

[0038] The catheter limiting block 607 is made of Teflon.

[0039] Through the above technical solution, the conduit limiting block 607 is made of Teflon material. Utilizing its low coefficient of friction, high wear resistance and good self-lubricating properties, it reduces frictional resistance and wear during the relative sliding process between the air extraction conduit 602 and the extension connecting block 601, ensuring smooth and precise sliding of the air extraction conduit 602, extending the service life of the components, and reducing noise caused by friction.

[0040] A second linear slide rail 505 is fixed to the front surface of the L-shaped plate 501. A second slider 506 is slidably connected to the surface of the second linear slide rail 505. The surface of the second slider 506 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slide table 504. Both the first motor 303 and the second motor 405 are worm gear reducers.

[0041] Through the above technical solution, during the lifting and lowering process of the slide table 504, the second slider 506 will slide on the surface of the second linear slide rail 505, thereby ensuring that the slide table 504 moves in a straight line. The worm gear reducer motor has a self-locking characteristic, which makes the stability of the substrate better when it is transported.

[0042] The suction cup body 608 is made of insulating and wear-resistant nitrile rubber.

[0043] The suction cup body 608 is made of nitrile rubber, which has excellent wear resistance, oil resistance and mechanical strength. It can maintain its shape and performance stability in frequent adsorption and release cycles. Its good elasticity can ensure a tight fit with the substrate surface, forming an effective seal and ensuring a stable output of adsorption force.

[0044] The spring is made of stainless steel (606).

[0045] Stainless steel springs made of 606 have good corrosion resistance, which can extend the service life of springs made of 606.

[0046] Both the L-shaped plate 501 and the extension block 502 are made of aluminum alloy.

[0047] The L-shaped plate 501 and extension block 502, made of aluminum alloy, are lighter in weight, which can effectively improve the stability of the equipment during use.

[0048] Working principle: During equipment operation, the linear module 201 of the moving mechanism 2 first drives the combined table 203 to move the entire adsorption system to the vicinity of the substrate area, and uses the first linear slide rail 204 and rack plate 205 to achieve initial in-plane positioning; then, the first motor 303 in the driving mechanism 3 further precisely adjusts the longitudinal position through the meshing of the gear 305 and rack plate 205, while the air pump 306 starts to provide a negative pressure source for the vacuum generator 307, and the second motor 405 of the angle adjustment mechanism 4 drives the rotating shaft 403 to rotate, so that the mounting plate 404 and subsequent components are adjusted to a posture that matches the tilt angle of the substrate; then, the electric cylinder 503 of the lifting mechanism 5 drives the slide table 504 to rise and fall. The height of the suction cup mechanism 6 is adjusted to bring it closer to the substrate surface. At this time, the negative pressure generated by the vacuum generator 307 is transmitted to the suction cup body 608 through the air nozzle 604 and the air extraction pipe 602. Under the action of pressure difference, the suction cup body 608 adsorbs the substrate. The spring 606 allows the suction cup body 608 to make small flexible adjustments to fit the substrate surface. After adsorption is completed, the mechanisms move in opposite directions to transport the substrate to the target position. After reaching the target position, the vacuum generator 307 stops pumping air, and the suction cup body 608 releases the substrate. The whole process is controlled by multiple mechanisms in a coordinated manner, which realizes flexible, precise and stable adsorption and transfer of substrates with irregular shapes, different sizes and postures, and meets the diverse material handling needs in complex industrial production environments.
