Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum components technology, specifically to a miniature pipeline vacuum generator. Background Technology

[0002] A vacuum generator is a new type of efficient, clean, and economical vacuum component that uses a positive pressure air source to generate negative pressure. It makes it easy and convenient to obtain negative pressure in places where compressed air is available or in a pneumatic system where both positive and negative pressure are required simultaneously. Vacuum generators are widely used in many fields of industrial automation, including machinery, electronics, packaging, printing, plastics, and robotics.

[0003] In the process of gripping circuit boards, a vacuum generator is required to provide a vacuum for the vacuum chuck. Most existing miniature vacuum generators are single-stage direct-flow vacuum generators, which have the disadvantages of high gas consumption and low vacuum efficiency. They can only provide a small gripping force, which cannot meet the gripping requirements of circuit boards with rough surfaces.

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vacuum generator with low gas consumption and high vacuum efficiency, which can be applied to the gripping of circuit boards. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a miniature pipeline vacuum generator with high vacuum efficiency and low gas consumption, which can be used in conjunction with a vacuum chuck for gripping circuit boards.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0007] A miniature pipeline vacuum generator includes a tube body, a compressed air inlet at one end of the tube body, an exhaust port at the other end of the tube body, and a vacuum port on one side of the tube body. The tube body includes a first working section, a second working section, a third working section, and a fourth working section, as well as a first constriction section connecting the first working section and the second working section, a second constriction section connecting the second working section and the third working section, and a third constriction section connecting the third working section and the fourth working section. The diameters of the first constriction section, the second constriction section, and the third constriction section decrease sequentially. The compressed air inlet is located in the first working section, the exhaust port is located in the fourth working section, and the vacuum port communicates with the inner cavity of the first working section.

[0008] Furthermore, the diameter of the first constricted portion is 0.5-0.7 mm, the diameter of the second constricted portion is 0.3-0.5 mm, and the diameter of the third constricted portion is 0.2-0.3 mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the lengths of the first constricted portion, the second constricted portion, and the third constricted portion are 1.5-2 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the tube body is made of FEP, PFA, nylon, or polyurethane material.

[0011] Furthermore, the exhaust port is equipped with a muffler.

[0012] Furthermore, the silencer includes a housing made of engineering material, a sound-absorbing material filled inside the housing, and an end cap connected to the housing. The sound-absorbing material is foam, and the end cap has multiple air holes.

[0013] Furthermore, the housing and the tube are connected by threads.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the miniature pipeline vacuum generator provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] I. The miniature pipe-type vacuum generator provided by this utility model has four working sections in the tube body, which are connected by three constrictions, making the vacuum generator a three-stage vacuum structure. By limiting the diameter of each constriction, the vacuum efficiency is improved and the gas consumption is reduced. The miniature pipe-type vacuum generator provided by this utility model can be connected to a vacuum suction cup for gripping circuit boards, and the gripping effect is excellent.

[0016] II. The miniature pipeline vacuum generator provided by this utility model has a silencer installed at the exhaust port, which can reduce the noise to a quiet environment. Attached Figure Description

[0024] In this embodiment, the tube body is made of engineering materials such as FEP, PFA, nylon, or polyurethane.

[0025] The silencer 5 includes a housing 51 made of engineering material, a sound-absorbing material 52 filled inside the housing, and an end cap 53 connected to the housing. The housing 51 is threadedly connected to the tube body. The sound-absorbing material 52 is foam with several through holes, and the end cap 53 has multiple air holes (not shown). Similarly, the end cap is also made of engineering material. The vacuum tube generator of this invention can reduce noise to 50 decibels, achieving a silent level.
