Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum adsorption gripper technology, specifically a vacuum adsorption gripper for glass handling. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum suction grippers, also known as vacuum suction cups, are used for glass handling. When handling glass, personnel hold the vacuum suction cup to adhere to the glass, and then move the vacuum suction gripper to move the glass, thus achieving the glass handling process.

[0003] The application for a vacuum suction cup with application number 202520619084.0 adds the effect of the outer shell pressing, and the outer cover and the annular support part squeeze the suction element in a double layer to further enhance the suction force.

[0004] While the above-mentioned applications meet the user's needs to a certain extent, certain defects still exist during use. The specific problems are as follows: after the vacuum adsorption gripper adsorbs the glass, impurities on the glass will adhere to the vacuum adsorption gripper. As a result, when the vacuum adsorption gripper adsorbs the glass again, the impurities on the vacuum adsorption gripper will accumulate more and more. During subsequent glass handling, the friction between the vacuum adsorption gripper and the glass will decrease, which will lead to a weakening of the adsorption force between the vacuum adsorption gripper and the glass, thus affecting the glass handling. Based on this, this utility model designs a vacuum adsorption gripper for glass handling to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a vacuum adsorption gripper for glass handling, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a glass handling vacuum adsorption gripper, comprising a fixed plate, a vacuum generator installed at one end of the fixed plate, two fixed plates connected at their bottoms by a suction cup, the suction cup being connected to the vacuum generator, a first air port being provided at the end of the suction cup corresponding to the vacuum generator, and a second air port being provided at one end of the top surface of the suction cup.

[0007] The suction cup is equipped with a unidirectional rotating cam, which rotates as air is released from the vacuum generator. The suction cup is also equipped with a cam drive mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the suction cup has multiple conical plates integrally formed inside.

[0009] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a mounting plate, a one-way bearing, a rotating shaft, and a rotating blade;

[0010] The first air inlet has mounting plates fixedly installed at both ends. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates. A one-way bearing is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of one end of the rotating shaft. The one-way bearing is located inside the mounting plate. A rotating blade is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the middle part of the rotating shaft.

[0011] Preferably, the cam is in contact with the inner wall of the suction cup, and the outer side of the cam has an arc angle, so that the cam contacts the suction cup.

[0012] Preferably, a secondary suction component is installed at the end of the suction cup, and compression springs are welded to both ends of the fixed plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The structure of this utility model is scientific and reasonable, and it is safe and convenient to use. When the suction cup contacts the glass, the conical plate will deform sequentially, increasing the contact area between the suction cup and the glass, which can better enable the suction cup to contact the glass, improve the adsorption effect of the vacuum adsorption gripper, and facilitate the adsorption treatment of the glass at the edge, thus expanding the applicability of the vacuum adsorption gripper.

When personnel pick up the glass through the vacuum adsorption gripper, the gas between the suction cups can be further adsorbed, which can improve the adsorption force between the suction cup and the glass, thereby improving the adsorption force between the vacuum adsorption gripper and the glass, and improving the use effect of the vacuum adsorption gripper.

[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a glass handling vacuum adsorption gripper, including a fixed plate 1, a vacuum generator 2 installed at the end of one fixed plate 1, the bottoms of the two fixed plates 1 are connected by a suction cup 3, the suction cup 3 is connected to the vacuum generator 2, the suction cup 3 is provided with a first air port 5 at the end corresponding to the vacuum generator 2, and a second air port 6 is provided at one end of the top surface of the suction cup 3.

[0029] The suction cup 3 is equipped with a vibratory cleaning component 4, which includes a conical plate 401, a mounting plate 402, a one-way bearing 403, a rotating shaft 404, a rotating blade 405, and a cam 406.

[0030] The suction cup 3 has multiple conical plates 401 integrally formed inside. The first air port 5 has mounting plates 402 fixedly installed at both ends. A rotating shaft 404 is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates 402. A one-way bearing 403 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of one end of the rotating shaft 404. The one-way bearing 403 is located inside the mounting plate 402. A rotating blade 405 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the middle part of the rotating shaft 404. Cams 406 are fixedly sleeved on both ends of the rotating blade 405 on the outer side of the rotating shaft 404.

[0031] The cam 406 contacts the inner wall of the suction cup 3. The outer side of the cam 406 has an arc corner. The cam 406 contacts the suction cup 3, causing the suction cup 3 to vibrate slightly, thus cleaning the suction cup 3.

[0032] Personnel place the suction cup 3 on the glass surface, then turn on the vacuum generator 2, creating a negative pressure inside the suction cup 3, causing the suction cup 3 to adhere to the glass. The use of a one-way bearing 403 prevents the rotating shaft 404 from rotating when the vacuum generator 2 is activated, thus enabling the vacuum gripper to function. After the vacuum gripper adheres to the glass, the glass can be moved. The use of a conical plate 401 causes it to deform sequentially when the suction cup 3 contacts the glass, improving contact and enhancing the gripper's adhesion. After moving the glass to a suitable position, the vacuum generator 2 is turned on again, venting air into the suction cup 3. This air blows the rotating blade 405, causing the cam 406 to rotate. The cam 406 continuously contacts the suction cup 3, causing it to vibrate and shake off dust particles, facilitating future glass adhesion and improving the vacuum gripper's performance.

[0033] The suction cup 3 is equipped with a secondary suction component 8 at its end. The secondary suction component 8 includes a compression spring 801, a moving block 802, a handle 803, a limiting post 804, a moving rod 805, a fixing frame 806, and a compression plate 807.

[0034] Compression springs 801 are welded to both ends of the fixed plate 1. Movable blocks 802 are welded to the ends of the compression springs 801. A handle 803 is fixedly connected between the two movable blocks 802. A limit post 804 is installed inside the fixed plate 1, which is located inside the compression springs 801, by screws. The movable blocks 802 are slidably connected to the outside of the limit post 804. A movable rod 805 is installed at one end of the handle 803 by screws. A compression plate 807 is installed at the bottom end of the movable rod 805 by screws. A fixed frame 806 is installed at one end of the top surface of the suction cup 3 by screws. The compression plate 807 is slidably connected inside the fixed frame 806.

[0035] The second air inlet 6 is located at the bottom of the fixed frame 806. The inner wall of the fixed frame 806 is in contact with the outer side of the compression plate 807, which can extract the gas inside the suction cup 3 and further improve the adsorption between the suction cup 3 and the glass.

[0036] When a person picks up the vacuum suction gripper, they can move it by holding handle 803. When the vacuum suction gripper moves to adhere to the glass, the downward force of the glass due to gravity is greater than the elastic force, and the compression spring 801 is stretched. At this time, handle 803 will move accordingly. The movement of handle 803 drives the movement rod 805 to move, which in turn drives the compression plate 807 to move. The compression plate 807 moves inside the fixed frame 806. Since the glass and suction cup 3 are in a sealed state, the movement of the compression plate 807 inside the fixed frame 806 can further adsorb the gas between the suction cup 3, which can improve the adsorption force between the suction cup 3 and the glass, thereby improving the adsorption force between the vacuum suction gripper and the glass and improving the use effect of the vacuum suction gripper.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
