Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vacuum suction cups, and specifically relates to an automotive glass installation robot and a vacuum suction cup anti-detachment structure. Background Technology

[0002] The vacuum suction cup of an automotive glass installation robot is a core component of automated equipment that uses vacuum adsorption to grasp and transport automotive glass. It creates negative pressure within the suction cup cavity through a vacuum pump or the Venturi effect, generating adsorption force based on atmospheric pressure difference. The suction cup is typically made of oil-resistant, anti-aging rubber or polyurethane materials, with sealing lips on the edges to enhance airtightness. An internal channel connects to a vacuum generator for pressure control. However, when the suction cup lacks a cleaning mechanism, its anti-fall-off performance significantly decreases. Firstly, oil stains, dust, and other contaminants on the glass surface damage the suction cup's seal, reducing adsorption force. During transport, these contaminants generate micro-vibrations due to mechanical friction, gradually forming leakage channels on the suction cup's contact surface, reducing vacuum levels, decreasing adsorption force, and ultimately leading to pressure loss and accidental detachment. Therefore, we aim to design an anti-fall-off structure for the automotive glass installation robot and its vacuum suction cup to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

By setting up the cleaning mechanism 3, the telescopic component 31 and the cleaning component 34 are used to remove dust, water stains and oil film from the glass surface, maintain close contact between the suction cup and the glass, thereby improving the gripping and anti-dropping effect.

[0029] The telescopic assembly 31 includes a fixed cylinder 311, a telescopic rod 312 is slidably sleeved inside the fixed cylinder 311, a connecting shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the front end of the telescopic rod 312, a drive motor for driving the connecting shaft 32 to rotate is provided on the right side surface of the telescopic rod 312, a cylinder 313 is provided on the upper side surface of the fixed cylinder 311, and the upper side surface of the telescopic rod 312 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 313. The telescopic assembly 31 is used to increase the cleaning coverage of the glass surface.

[0030] The cleaning component 34 includes a support frame 341, which is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support frame 33. A cleaning motor 342 is provided on the upper surface of the support frame 341, and a drive gear 343 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the cleaning motor 342.

[0031] Two rotating shafts 344 pass through the lower end of the support frame 341 via bearings. A cleaning disc 345 is provided at the lower end of each of the two rotating shafts 344. A driven gear 346 is fixedly connected to the upper end of each of the two rotating shafts 344. Both driven gears 346 mesh with the drive gear 343.

[0032] The suction cup assembly 4 includes a mounting frame 41. A cylinder 44 is provided on the upper surface of the mounting frame 41. A connecting plate 42 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 44. Suction cup bodies 43 are provided on both the left and right ends of the connecting plate 42.

[0033] Specifically, when the glass is gripped under negative pressure, the cleaning motor 342 is first started. The output shaft of the cleaning motor 342 drives the drive gear 343, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate. During the rotation of the drive gear 343, the driven gear 346 and the rotating shaft 344 are driven to rotate. Finally, the rotating shaft 344 drives the cleaning disc 345 to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the glass surface. Then, the cylinder 313 is started. The telescopic end of the cylinder 313 drives the telescopic rod 312 to move inside the fixed cylinder 311. At the same time, the telescopic rod 312 drives the connecting shaft 32 and the support frame 33 to move. Finally, the support frame 33 drives the support frame 341 and the cleaning disc 345 to move, thereby increasing the cleanable coverage area of ​​the glass surface.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As a second embodiment of this utility model:

[0035] The lifting mechanism 2 includes a support column 21, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. The upper end of the support column 21 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 24. A lifting motor is provided on the upper surface of the support column 21.

During the rotation, the screw 23 undergoes threaded movement with the connecting block 25, thereby causing the slider 24 to move. The slider 24 then drives the fixed cylinder 311, the telescopic rod 312, and the mounting bracket 41 on the support frame 341 to move. The mounting bracket 41 then drives the cylinder 44, the connecting plate 42, and the suction cup body 43 to move. Then, the cylinder 44 is activated so that the suction cup body 43 contacts the glass surface and grips it with negative pressure. Finally, the lifting motor is reversed to lift the glass along the height of the screw 23, thereby adapting to glass installation at different heights. Furthermore, by driving the drive motor, the drive motor drives the connecting shaft 32 to rotate, and the connecting shaft 32 then drives the support frame 33 and the support frame 341 to rotate. Finally, the support frame 341 drives the mounting bracket 41 and the suction cup body 43 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of glass installation.
