[0002] In automated production lines, vacuum suction cups are widely used for gripping and transferring sheet materials, such as in the installation of blade root baffles in wind power generation. Traditional suction cup devices have the following problems: Poor anti-fall capability: When the suction cup fails in vacuum or experiences sudden vibration, the material is prone to falling, causing damage or safety accidents; Lack of real-time load monitoring: It is impossible to detect abnormal pressure or adsorption force between the suction cup and the material in real time, which leads to excessive suction cup pressure and affects the stability of material suction. Inconvenient to adjust: The position of the suction cup and the position of the fall protection mechanism are cumbersome to adjust and difficult to position accurately, resulting in poor adaptability; Insufficient buffering performance: The suction cup lacks effective buffering when it comes into contact with the material, which can easily damage the material surface or the suction cup.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a suction cup device that has reliable fall protection, real-time load monitoring, easy adjustment, and good buffering performance. Utility Model Content

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model; that is, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0020] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] The following is combined Figure 1-5 This invention describes a novel suction cup device, comprising: Mounting frame 1 is provided with multiple sets of suction cups 14 for absorbing materials. The suction cups 14 are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1 by locking members 13, and the suction cups 14 are used to absorb the material tray. The anti-fall component 2 includes an anti-fall slider 21 connected to the mounting bracket 1, an anti-fall rod 23 connected to the anti-fall slider 21, and an anti-fall plate 24 fixed to the anti-fall rod 23. The anti-fall rod 23 and the anti-fall plate 24 are used to pass through the material tray to support it against falling. When the material tray (such as the blade root baffle in the wind power field) is sucked up, the material tray is provided with a through hole for the anti-fall component 2 to pass through. By passing the anti-fall rod 23 and the anti-fall plate 24 through the through hole in the material tray, the anti-fall component 2 supports the material tray after the suction cup component 14 fails, which can prevent the material tray from falling. The load resistance detection element 3 is connected to the locking element 13 and is used to provide feedback on the compression thrust of the suction cup element 14 on the mounting frame 1. During the process of suction cup 142 picking up or pushing the material tray, in order to improve the stability of picking up the material tray, the suction cup element 14 needs to apply a certain thrust to the material tray. The thrust affects the stability of picking up the material tray. By setting the load resistance detection element 3, the thrust of the suction cup element 14 can be controlled, and it can be controlled by the thrust value fed back in real time.

[0022] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1As shown, the mounting frame 1 includes a mounting crossbar 11 and a mounting vertical bar 12. The suction cup component 14 includes a suction cup guide rod 141 connected to the mounting crossbar 11 or the mounting vertical bar 12 via the locking member 13, a suction cup 142 connected to the suction cup guide rod 141, and a buffer spring 143 abutting between the locking member 13 and the suction cup 142. The buffer spring 143 can slide on the locking member 13. The buffer spring 143 sleeved on the suction cup guide rod 141 can provide buffering for the suction cup 142 to pick up the material tray, thereby assisting the suction cup 142 in picking up the material tray and ensuring that the suction cup 142 always adheres to the surface of the material tray to be picked up, so as to improve the stability of the picking up. The end of the suction cup guide rod 141 away from the suction cup 142 forms a vacuum extraction port 144 for vacuum extraction by the suction cup 142. The vacuum extraction port 144 is connected to the vacuum pumping assembly.

[0023] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the locking member 13 includes a locking slider 131 slidably connected to the mounting horizontal bar 11 or the mounting vertical bar 12 and a locking handle 132 connected to the locking slider 131; the locking handle 132 is used to lock the locking slider 131 on the mounting horizontal bar 11 or the mounting vertical bar 12, the suction cup guide rod 141 is slidably connected to the locking slider 131, and the locking handle 132 can lock the locking slider 131 and the suction cup member 14 connected to the locking slider 131 on the mounting horizontal bar 11 or the mounting vertical bar 12.

[0024] For further details, please refer to... Figures 1-2 As shown, a groove 133 is formed on the mounting crossbar 11 or the mounting vertical bar 12. An adjusting slider 134 is slidably disposed in the groove 133. A threaded rod 136 is fixedly disposed on the locking handle 132 and threadedly engaged with the adjusting slider 134. When the handle locks the locking slider 131, the adjusting slider 134 is slidably connected to the groove 133 by fixing the threaded rod 136 to the locking handle 132 and threadedly engaged with the adjusting slider 134. The locking slider 131 is locked or in contact with the mounting crossbar 11 or the mounting vertical bar 12 by clamping between the locking slider 131 and the adjusting slider 134. The number and position of the suction cups 14 on the mounting crossbar 11 or the mounting vertical bar 12 can be adjusted by the size of the material tray to form the optimal suction position.

[0025] Please refer to further details. Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the inner wall of the slide groove 133 is provided with a positioning hole 135 for the end of the adjusting slider 134 to be inserted. In order to improve the stability of the locking member connected to the mounting crossbar 11 or mounting vertical bar 12, the positioning hole 135 is opened in the inner wall of the slide groove 133 and the end of the adjusting slider 134 is inserted into the positioning hole 135 to avoid movement caused by insufficient clamping force between the locking slider 131 and the adjusting slider 134.

[0026] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, a push plate 15 is fixedly provided on the side of the mounting frame 1 near the suction cup 142. The push plate 15 is used for pushing the material tray during installation. During the material tray suction and installation process, one end of the material tray needs to be pressed tightly against the installation position. When the material is pressed tightly against the installation position, the suction cup guide rod 141 and the suction cup 142 are slidably connected on the locking slider 131, which makes it impossible to push the material tray. Excessive pushing force will cause the buffer spring 143 to be over-compressed and damaged. By fixing the push plate 15 on the mounting frame 1, the push plate 15 can limit the maximum sliding distance of the suction cup guide rod 141 on the locking slider 131. When the material tray is pressed tightly against the installation position, the push plate 15 can provide a pushing force to the material tray to avoid damage to the buffer spring 143.

[0027] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the anti-fall assembly 2 also includes a locking block 22 that can be locked or unlocked on the adjusting slider 134. The anti-fall rod 23 is slidably connected to the anti-fall slider 21 and can be locked by the locking block 22. The anti-fall slider 21 is locked to the mounting horizontal bar 11 or the mounting vertical bar 12. The locking block 22 is connected to the anti-fall slider 21, and the locking block 22 can be locked on the anti-fall slider 21 by its own structure. The locking method can be the locking structure of the fixed suction cup 14. The anti-fall rod 23 is slidably connected to the locking block 22, which can adjust the distance between the anti-fall plate 24 and the anti-fall slider 21 to form the optimal anti-fall support point for the material tray.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the load resistance detection component 3 includes a mounting plate 31 fixedly connected to the locking slider 131 and a gravity sensor 32 fixedly installed on the mounting plate 31. The detection end of the gravity sensor 32 abuts against the end of the suction cup guide rod 141. During the movement of the suction cup guide rod 141, the movement of the end can be detected by the gravity sensor 32. The detection value of the gravity sensor 32 can be set. When the material tray is being sucked up, if the pressure value generated by the movement of the suction cup guide rod 141 is too high, the gravity sensor 32 will issue an alarm to prevent the suction cup 142 from being over-compressed and affecting the stability of sucking up the material tray.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, a transmission plate 16 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 1 via a rotating connection structure. The transmission plate 16 is used to connect the mounting frame 1 and the driving component, thereby realizing the lateral, longitudinal and vertical movement of the suction cup device.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the rotating connection structure is a connecting sleeve 17, and a damping component is provided between the connecting sleeve 17 and the transmission plate 16. The rotating connection structure can rotate the mounting frame 1 after it picks up the material tray to change the installation end face adjustment of the material tray. The connecting sleeve 17 is used to generate a certain resistance when the mounting frame 1 rotates to prevent it from rotating arbitrarily. The damping structure and the connecting sleeve 17 are existing conventional technologies. The damping structure is not limited to mechanical damping, fluid damping, friction damping, etc., and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Working principle of this utility model: The mounting bracket 1 is connected to the driving component through the transmission plate 16 and the connecting sleeve 17, so that the driving component can control the lateral, longitudinal and vertical movement of the mounting bracket 1. Before picking up the material tray, adjust the number and position of the suction cup components 14 on the mounting horizontal bar 11 or mounting vertical bar 12 according to the size of the material tray; The anti-fall component 2 passes through the through hole on the material suction tray and adjusts and locks the length of the anti-fall rod 23 on the locking block 22; Multiple suction cup components 14 are controlled to adhere closely to the material tray to be sucked up, and the vacuum inside the suction cup 142 is extracted through the vacuum extraction port 144 to achieve suction of the material tray. When the suction cup component 14 moves to contact the material tray to be sucked up, the suction cup 142 and the suction cup guide rod 141 move on the adjusting slider 134, and the suction cup component 14 adheres closely to the material tray under the action of the buffer spring 143. At the same time, the movement of the suction cup guide rod 141 is detected by the gravity sensor 32. When the movement of the suction cup guide rod 141 exceeds the set value, that is, the thrust provided to the suction cup 142 is higher than the preset value, the gravity sensor 32 detects and issues an alarm signal to provide the best thrust to the suction cup 142 to ensure the stability of suction of the material tray. After the material tray is picked up, it can be moved to the installation position. During installation, the material tray is moved to a suitable position and pressed against the installation position by the push plate 15. After the material tray is fixed, the material is picked up.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
