[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adsorption device provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described. The adsorption device provided in the embodiments of this application includes a mounting frame 1, a pushing assembly 3, and a plurality of unidirectional adsorption assemblies 2. The plurality of unidirectional adsorption assemblies 2 are mounted on the mounting frame 1 and are used to adsorb workpieces. The pushing assembly 3 is mounted on the mounting frame 1 and is used to push the workpieces out of the mounting frame.

[0034] Specifically, the mounting frame 1 serves as the support structure for the entire adsorption device, used for mounting and securing other components. The shape and size of the mounting frame 1 can be designed according to the actual application scenario, for example, it can be designed as a flat plate, a frame, or other shapes suitable for installation. The mounting frame 1 may be provided with multiple mounting holes or mounting slots for securing the unidirectional adsorption component 2 and the pushing component 3.

[0035] The pusher assembly 3 may include a horizontal moving component and a pusher plate. The horizontal moving component is mounted on the mounting frame 1 and is drively connected to the pusher plate to drive the pusher plate to move horizontally, thereby pushing the workpiece out of the container. The horizontal moving component can be driven by a cylinder, electric cylinder, or motor to provide the pushing force. The pusher plate is connected to the output end of the horizontal moving component and is used to directly contact and push the workpiece. The shape and size of the pusher plate can be designed according to the shape and size of the workpiece to ensure stable contact and effective pushing when pushing the workpiece.

[0036] In actual operation, a vacuum is first applied to the unidirectional adsorption component 2 to firmly adsorb the workpiece. Then, the adsorption device transports the workpiece to the designated position. Once the workpiece reaches the designated position, the vacuum in the unidirectional adsorption component 2 is released, and the pusher component 3 is activated, pushing the workpiece away from the unidirectional adsorption component 2, thus achieving automatic unloading.

[0037] The adsorption device in this embodiment forms multiple independent adsorption points by setting multiple unidirectional adsorption components 2, ensuring successful adsorption of the workpiece even if its position is off. The pushing component 3 pushes the workpiece away from the adsorption device after handling it, eliminating the need for manual intervention or additional equipment, thus simplifying the production process and improving the operational efficiency of automated production lines.

[0038] Preferably, the pushing component 3 includes a driving component 31 and a plurality of pushing components 32. The driving component 31 is mounted on the mounting frame 1, and the plurality of pushing components 32 are respectively disposed in the gap between two adjacent unidirectional adsorption components 2. The driving component 31 is connected to the plurality of pushing components 32 in a transmission manner to drive the pushing components 32 to push the workpiece out.

[0039] By placing the pusher 32 in the gap between adjacent unidirectional adsorption components 2, the installation space can be fully utilized, interference between the pusher 32 and the unidirectional adsorption components 2 can be avoided, and the pusher 32 can be effectively pushed to achieve a stable and reliable unloading operation.

[0040] The drive component 31 can be driven by a cylinder, electric cylinder, or motor to provide pushing force. The drive component 31 is used to drive the pusher component 32 to move vertically to push or move away from the workpiece.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 The feeding assembly 3 also includes a connector 33, which has several clearance holes 331. The unidirectional adsorption assembly 2 passes through the clearance holes 331 and is installed on the mounting frame 1. The feeding component 32 is installed on the connector 33 and is located between two adjacent clearance holes 331. The driving component 31 is connected to the connector 33 to drive the feeding component 32 to push the workpiece out.

[0042] By setting up a connector 33 and providing clearance holes 331 on the connector 33, the unidirectional adsorption component 2 can smoothly pass through the connector 33 and be installed on the mounting bracket 1. Simultaneously, the pusher component 32 is positioned between two adjacent clearance holes 331, preventing interference between the pusher component 32 and the unidirectional adsorption component 2 and ensuring smooth pushing action. Furthermore, the connector 33 allows multiple pushers 32 to operate synchronously, improving the stability and reliability of the material feeding process.

[0043] A buffer can also be installed on the side of the connector 33 that abuts against the mounting bracket 1.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The adsorption device also includes an adjustment and limiting component 4, which is mounted on the mounting frame 1 and is used to limit the movement distance of the pushing component 3.

[0045] By setting the adjustable limit component 4, the movement stroke of the pusher component 3 can be effectively controlled, avoiding excessive movement of the pusher component 32 that could damage the workpiece or equipment. The pusher distance can be flexibly adjusted, improving the applicability and safety of the equipment.

[0046] The adjusting limit component 4 may include a lifting moving part and a limit block. The limit block is used to abut against the connecting part 33 of the pushing component 3 to limit the moving distance of the pushing component 3. The lifting moving part is set on the mounting frame 1 and is connected to the limit block in a transmission manner to drive the limit block to move closer to or away from the mounting frame 1 in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the limiting distance.

[0047] Preferably, the adjusting limit assembly 4 includes a limiting frame 41 and an adjusting member 42. The limiting frame 41 is mounted on the mounting frame 1, and the adjusting member 42 is mounted on the limiting frame 41. The adjusting member 42 is used to abut against the pushing assembly 3 to limit the movement distance of the pushing assembly 3.

[0048] The limiting frame 41 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 1 to support and fix the adjusting component 42. The adjusting component 42 is adjustablely installed on the limiting frame 41 and is set on the moving path of the pushing assembly 3 to abut against the pushing assembly 3 to limit the moving distance of the pushing assembly 3.

[0049] Preferably, the adjusting member 42 includes an adjusting part 421 and an anti-loosening part 422. The adjusting part 421 is threadedly connected to the limiting frame 41. The anti-loosening part 422 is sleeved on the adjusting part 421 and threadedly connected to the adjusting part 421. The anti-loosening part 422 abuts against the limiting frame 41 to prevent the adjusting part 421 from loosening.

[0050] The adjusting part 421 can be a bolt or screw, and the anti-loosening part 422 can be a nut.

[0051] The adjusting part 421 is threadedly connected to the limiting frame 41. By rotating the adjusting part 421, the distance between the adjusting part 421 and the pushing assembly 3 can be precisely adjusted, thereby controlling the moving distance of the pushing assembly 3. The anti-loosening part 422 abuts against the limiting frame 41 to prevent the adjusting part 421 from loosening due to vibration or other factors during equipment operation, ensuring the stability and reliability of the adjustment position.

[0052] By setting the adjustment part 421 and the anti-loosening part 422, the moving distance of the pusher assembly 3 can be precisely adjusted, and the loosening of the adjustment part 421 can be effectively prevented, ensuring the stability and safety of the equipment in long-term operation.

[0053] Please see Figure 2 The mounting frame 1 is equipped with a vacuum chamber 11 that is connected to an external vacuum device, and several unidirectional adsorption components 2 are connected to the vacuum chamber 11.

[0054] The vacuum chamber 11 can be connected to an external vacuum pump or vacuum generator via pipes or quick connectors to provide a stable vacuum source. By setting up the vacuum chamber 11, centralized gas supply can be achieved for multiple unidirectional adsorption components 2, simplifying pipeline connections, improving adsorption efficiency, and ensuring that the adsorption force of each unidirectional adsorption component 2 is uniform.

[0055] The mounting bracket 1 is also equipped with a monitoring device for detecting the air pressure inside the vacuum chamber 11.

[0056] The monitoring device can be a pressure sensor, vacuum gauge, or other pressure detection element to monitor the pressure changes within the vacuum chamber 11 in real time. The monitoring device can be mounted on the mounting bracket 1 and connected to the vacuum chamber 11. By setting up the monitoring device, the pressure status within the vacuum chamber 11 can be monitored in real time, ensuring that the adsorption device operates under a suitable vacuum level, thus improving the reliability and stability of adsorption. When the monitoring device detects an abnormal pressure within the vacuum chamber 11, it can promptly issue an alarm or feedback signal to remind operators to perform inspection and maintenance, avoiding adsorption failure due to insufficient vacuum.

[0057] Please see Figure 2 The one-way adsorption assembly 2 includes a one-way valve 21 and an adsorption element 22. The one-way valve 21 is mounted on the mounting frame 1 and is connected to the vacuum chamber 11. The adsorption element 22 is connected to the one-way valve 21.

[0058] The adsorption element 22 can be a suction cup made of a flexible material, such as rubber or silicone, to ensure a tight fit with the workpiece surface and form a sealed space. A one-way valve 21 connects the suction cup to the vacuum chamber 11 to control the gas flow, ensuring that the suction cup creates negative pressure when adsorbing the workpiece and quickly breaks the vacuum when releasing the workpiece, achieving rapid release. The one-way valve 21 effectively prevents vacuum leakage and improves the stability of the adsorption process.
