Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of precast concrete component production equipment, and in particular to an adsorption device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern infrastructure construction, precast components are widely used due to their advantages such as fast construction speed and controllable quality. The stacking, handling, and installation of precast components after production are crucial stages in the construction process, requiring efficient, safe, and reliable tools. Traditional methods such as manual handling and crane lifting are not only slow and labor-intensive but also unsafe. Vacuum suction cups utilize the principle of negative pressure, creating a negative pressure inside the suction cup by pumping air, thereby adsorbing onto object surfaces. They are widely used in industry, construction, robotics, and other fields, offering advantages such as ease of operation and minimal damage to object surfaces.
[0003] However, existing suction cups have the drawback of having a small adsorption area when adsorbing stepped or other irregularly shaped components, resulting in insufficient suction and certain limitations in use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an adsorption device with a simple structure, good compatibility, and applicability to components of different widths and stepped structures.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An adsorption device includes a mounting frame, a first suction cup, and a second suction cup. The mounting frame is provided with a translation mechanism and a lifting mechanism. The first suction cup is connected to the translation mechanism to move closer to or further away from the second suction cup, and the second suction cup is connected to the lifting mechanism to adjust its height.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the translation mechanism includes a translation guide rail, a slide block disposed on the translation guide rail, and a translation drive member for driving the slide block to slide along the translation guide rail, wherein the first suction cup is connected to the slide block.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: an elastic buffer component is provided between the slide and the first suction cup.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the elastic buffer assembly includes a connector and an elastic element. The upper end of the connector is provided with a first limiting element and the lower end passes through the slide and is connected to the first suction cup. The elastic element is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connector. The connector is provided with a second limiting element. The upper end of the elastic element abuts against the slide and the lower end abuts against the second limiting element.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the translation mechanism is arranged opposite to the two sides of the lifting mechanism, and the first suction cup is arranged opposite to the two sides of the second suction cup.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the lifting mechanism includes a lifting drive component connected to the second suction cup and a lifting guide component for guiding the second suction cup.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the lifting guide is a guide sleeve, and the second suction cup is provided with a lifting guide post, which passes through the guide sleeve.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the lifting guide is arranged opposite to the lifting drive on both sides.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: both the lifting drive component and the lifting guide column are rotatably connected to the second suction cup.
[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: an elastic buffer component is provided between the mounting bracket and the second suction cup.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0017] The adsorption device disclosed in this utility model has a translation mechanism that can drive the first suction cup to approach the second suction cup, thus making it suitable for narrower precast components. Conversely, the translation mechanism can also drive the first suction cup to move away from the second suction cup, thus making it suitable for wider precast components. The lifting mechanism can drive the second suction cup to rise and fall, adjusting the height of the second suction cup, thus making it suitable for precast components with stepped structures. The device has a simple and effective structure with good compatibility.
[0018] Other features and advantages of this invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0030] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "assembly," "connection," "joining," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0032] Figures 1 to 6 An embodiment of the adsorption device of this utility model is shown. The adsorption device of this embodiment includes a mounting frame 1, a first suction cup 2, and a second suction cup 3. The mounting frame 1 is provided with a translation mechanism 4 and a lifting mechanism 5. The first suction cup 2 is connected to the translation mechanism 4 to move closer to or further away from the second suction cup 3, and the second suction cup 3 is connected to the lifting mechanism 5 to adjust its height. See details. Figure 7 Mounting bracket 1 can be mounted on other mobile mechanisms, such as robotic arms, mobile carts, etc.; see details. Figure 2 In this embodiment, the translation mechanism 4 moves left and right. Of course, in other embodiments, the translation mechanism 4 can also move forward and backward, etc., as long as it can adjust the distance between the first suction cup 2 and the second suction cup 3.
[0033] In this embodiment, the adsorption device has a translation mechanism 4 that can drive the first suction cup 2 closer to the second suction cup 3, thus making it suitable for narrower precast components 7. Conversely, the translation mechanism 4 can also drive the first suction cup 2 away from the second suction cup 3, thus making it suitable for wider precast components 7. The lifting mechanism 5 can drive the second suction cup 3 to rise and fall, adjusting the height of the second suction cup 3, thus making it suitable for precast components 7 with stepped structures. The device has a simple and effective structure with good compatibility.
[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the translation mechanism 4 includes a translation guide rail 41, a slide 42 disposed on the translation guide rail 41, and a translation drive component 43 (e.g., a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, lead screw and nut assembly, etc., which will not be described in detail) for driving the slide 42 to slide along the translation guide rail 41. The first suction cup 2 is connected to the slide 42. When the position of the first suction cup 2 needs to be adjusted, the translation drive component 43 drives the slide 42 to slide along the translation guide rail 41, and the first suction cup 2 can move with the slide 42. The translation guide rail 41 provides guidance for the sliding of the slide 42, making the slide 42 move more smoothly and avoiding deviation. The structure is reasonable and effective.
[0035] Preferably, the translation mechanism 4 is arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the lifting mechanism 5, and the first suction cup 2 is arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the second suction cup 3. See details. Figure 4 and Figure 5 For some prefabricated components 7 that are larger in size and have a stepped upper surface, the second suction cup 3 works together with the first suction cups 2 on the left and right sides to perform adsorption, which can further improve the safety and reliability of the device.
[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an elastic buffer assembly 6 is provided between the slide 42 and the first suction cup 2. The elastic buffer assembly 6 ensures that the first suction cup 2 is pressed down to the correct position when adsorbing the prefabricated component 7, while preventing excessive pressure from damaging the device. This design is both reasonable and effective.
[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the elastic buffer assembly 6 includes a connector 61 and an elastic element 62. The upper end of the connector 61 is provided with a first limiting member 63, and the lower end passes through the slide 42 and connects to the first suction cup 2. The elastic element 62 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connector 61. The connector 61 is provided with a second limiting member 64. The upper end of the elastic element 62 abuts against the slide 42, and the lower end abuts against the second limiting member 64. After the first suction cup 2 descends and contacts the precast component 7, the mounting frame 1 and the slide 42 on it continue to press down. The elastic element 62 is compressed and the pressure is transmitted to the first suction cup 2 through the second limiting member 64, so that the first suction cup 2 is pressed into place, while avoiding rigid contact between the first suction cup 2 and the precast component 7. After the precast component 7 is transferred into place, the first suction cup 2 releases the precast component 7, the mounting frame 1 and the slide 42 on it rise, the elastic element 62 extends, and the first limiting member 63 is used to prevent the connector 61 from separating from the slide 42. The structure is reasonable and effective. Preferably, the connector 61 can be a connecting rod, a connecting pipe, etc.; the elastic element 62 is a helical spring, but in other embodiments it can also be a disc spring, elastic rubber, etc.; the first limiting element 63 is a limiting nut, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance; and the second limiting element 64 can be a limiting flange or a limiting ring sleeved on the connector 61, etc.
[0038] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 5 includes a lifting drive component 51 (such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, lead screw and nut assembly, etc., which will not be described in detail) connected to the second suction cup 3 and a lifting guide component 52 for guiding the second suction cup 3, so that the lifting movement of the second suction cup 3 is smooth and avoids shaking or deviation.
[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the lifting guide 52 is a guide sleeve, and the second suction cup 3 is provided with a lifting guide post 31, which passes through the guide sleeve. The lifting guide post 31, in cooperation with the guide sleeve, provides good guidance for the lifting movement of the second suction cup 3, preventing swaying and deviation. The structure is simple and effective. Of course, in other embodiments, the lifting guide 52 can also be a guide rail, guide groove, etc., and correspondingly, the second suction cup 3 is provided with a matching slider, pulley, etc.
[0040] Preferably, the lifting guide 52 is arranged on both sides of the lifting drive 51, which has good symmetry and balance, and is conducive to ensuring the guiding effect.
[0041] See details Figure 6 In this embodiment, both the lifting drive component 51 and the lifting guide column 31 are rotatably connected to the second suction cup 3, for example, through a pin connection or a ball joint connection. When the upper surface of the prefabricated component 7 is an inclined surface, the second suction cup 3 can rotate after being subjected to a downward pressure force, thereby tightly adhering to the upper surface of the prefabricated component 7 to achieve reliable adsorption. The structure is reasonable and effective.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, an elastic buffer assembly 6 is also provided between the mounting bracket 1 and the second suction cup 3. This ensures that the second suction cup 3 is pressed down to adsorb the prefabricated component 7 while avoiding excessive pressure that could damage the device. The structure is reasonable and effective.
[0043] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the present invention, or modify it into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention, without departing from the content of the present invention, should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
