Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sealing machine technology, specifically relating to an automatic unlocking device for vacuum equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, vacuum equipment (sealing machines, nozzle machines, etc.) generally uses a mechanical or automatic locking structure when the cover and base are closed. Mechanical locking structures are usually unlocked by turning an external lever, while automatic locking structures are usually locked and unlocked by a cylinder, motor, or electromagnetic drive.

[0003] Using the former as the locking structure requires consumers to unlock it by turning it during operation, resulting in a poor user experience; using an automatic locking structure can easily lead to damage to the drive components due to prolonged use, causing the entire sealing machine to malfunction.

[0004] This solution was developed to provide users with an automatic unlocking device that offers a better feel and the stability of a mechanical locking structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic unlocking device for vacuum equipment, which can realize automatic unlocking.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an automatic unlocking device for vacuum equipment, including an upper cover, a base, a press-to-switch combination fastener, a vacuuming component and a venting component, wherein the upper cover and the base are fastened together by the press-to-switch combination fastener; The lower surface of the upper cover has a first vacuum groove, and the upper surface of the base has a second vacuum groove. After the upper cover and the base are closed, the first vacuum groove and the second vacuum groove are sealed together to form a vacuum chamber. The vacuum chamber is evacuated by a vacuum pumping assembly, and the vacuum chamber is vented by a venting assembly. The press-to-switch combination fastener is automatically released by first evacuating the vacuum using a vacuum pump and then releasing the air using a venting assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, an air intake hole and an air release hole are formed in the first vacuum tank or the second vacuum tank, or an air intake hole and an air release hole are formed in the first vacuum tank and the second vacuum tank respectively. The air intake port is connected to the air intake end of the vacuum assembly, and the air vent is connected to the air inlet end of the air vent assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, the press-to-switch combination fastener includes an upper fastener and a lower fastener, the upper fastener or the lower fastener is disposed on the lower surface of the upper cover, and the lower fastener or the upper fastener is disposed on the base, and the upper fastener and the lower fastener are compatible with each other; The upper fastener includes a hook, and the lower fastener includes a base, a reset body, a pressing seat, a rotating hook, and a toggle assembly. A receiving groove is formed on the upper surface of the base, and the pressing seat is slidably connected vertically within the receiving groove. A notch is formed on one side of the pressing seat, and a rotating hook is hinged within the notch. The reset body is located between the pressing seat and the bottom of the receiving groove. A switching hole is formed on one side of the receiving groove, and the switching hole includes a vertical portion, a locking portion, and a top abutment, arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The locking part is wider than the vertical part. The left side line of the locking part coincides with the left side line of the vertical part. The right side line of the locking part forms a vertical angle with the right side line of the vertical part. The locking part is located below the locking part and corresponds vertically to the vertical part. The lower left side line of the locking part is the first inclined side, and the left side line of the top is the second inclined side. The angle between the first inclined side and the second inclined side is an acute angle. A rotating block is formed on one side of the pressing seat and located in the switching hole. The rotating block has V-shaped notches on both sides. The upper fastener moves downward by pressing against the pressing seat, causing the rotating block to deflect within the locking part. Then, the V-shaped notch of the rotating block abuts against the vertical angle to achieve the engagement of the hook and the rotating hook, or causes the deflected rotating block to abut against the inclined side and deflect into a vertical state, extending into the vertical part. The actuating component actuates the hook when the rotating block extends into the vertical part, causing the hook to disengage from the rotating hook.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower surface of the hook claw end of the hook member has a first inclined surface facing the side of the rotating hook, and the upper surface of the hook claw end of the rotating hook has a second inclined surface facing the side of the hook member; when the hook member moves downward and the second inclined surface abuts against the first inclined surface, the rotating hook rotates counterclockwise so that the hook claw end of the hook member extends into the lower side of the hook claw end of the rotating hook.

[0010] Furthermore, a groove is formed on the lower surface of the pressing seat, a positioning post is formed in the middle of the groove, and the reset body is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the positioning post.

[0011] Furthermore, the pressing seat has mounting holes that extend through both sides, and one of the mounting holes has a narrowed opening.

The two deformation clips extend from the locking opening into the mounting hole through deformation and lock in place, rotating around the axis of the mounting hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the actuating assembly includes a toggle block disposed on the side wall of the receiving groove. The lower surface of the toggle block is inclined. A contact block is formed on the back of the rotating hook. The contact block corresponds vertically to the toggle block and abuts against the toggle block. The rotating hook and the hook are disengaged.

[0013] Furthermore, connecting plates are formed on the two outer side walls of the base, and connecting holes are provided on the connecting plates.

[0014] Furthermore, a positioning groove is provided on the lower surface of the seat.

[0015] Furthermore, the hook includes a connecting part, an extension part, and a hook claw part, which are connected sequentially from top to bottom, and the connecting part extends into the upper cover and is fixedly connected.

[0016] Furthermore, there are two upper fasteners located on both sides of the lower surface of the upper cover, and the number of lower fasteners corresponds vertically to the number of upper fasteners.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In this invention, during unhooking, the vacuum assembly evacuates the vacuum chamber, causing the top cover and base to come closer together, so that the hook abuts against the pressing seat. The pressing seat moves downward, and the rotating block first abuts against the first inclined side and deflects. The rotating block continues to deflect until it extends into the abutting top. At this time, the rotating block is in a vertical state. Then, the pressure relief assembly releases air from the vacuum chamber. Under the action of the reset body, the pressing seat and the hook move upward. When the rotating block moves into the vertical part, the actuating assembly drives the rotating block to rotate counterclockwise, causing the hook and the rotating hook to disengage, thus achieving automatic unhooking.

The switching hole 412 includes a vertical portion 4121, a locking portion 4122, and a top abutment 4123. The vertical portion 4121, the locking portion 4122, and the top abutment 4123 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The locking portion 4122 is wider. With respect to the width of the vertical portion 4121, the left edge of the locking portion 4122 coincides with the left edge of the vertical portion 4121, and the right edge of the locking portion 4122 forms a vertical angle 4124 with the right edge of the vertical portion 4121.

[0029] Preferably, a groove is formed on the lower surface of the pressing seat 43, and a positioning post is provided in the middle of the groove, and the reset body 42 is sleeved on the positioning post.

[0030] A rotating block 431 is formed on one side of the pressing base 43 and located in the switching hole 412. The rotating block 431 has V-shaped notches 4311 on both sides. Specifically, the pressing base 43 has mounting holes that pass through both sides. One of the mounting holes has a narrow opening.

[0033] Preferably, the press-to-switch combination fastener can adopt other similar structures.

[0034] Activation principle: such as Figure 11As shown, when the upper cover 1 and the base 41 are closed, the upper fastener 3 and the lower fastener 4 are fastened by pressing the upper cover 1. The specific steps for fastening the upper fastener 3 and the lower fastener 4 are as follows: Press the upper cover 1, the hook 31 extends into the receiving groove 411 of the base 41, the hook 31 abuts against the rotating hook 44, the rotating hook 44 rotates counterclockwise, the hook 31 extends under the rotating hook 44 and the rotating hook 44 resets, the hook 31 abuts against the pressing seat 43, the pressing seat 43 moves downward, the rotating block 431 abuts against the first inclined side 4125 and deflects, then the upper cover 1 is released, under the action of the reset body 42, the pressing seat 43 moves upward, the V-shaped notch 4311 of the rotating block 431 is stopped at the vertical angle 4124, and the fastening is achieved.

[0035] Unfastening principle: such as Figure 12 As shown, the vacuum assembly evacuates the vacuum chamber. The upper cover 1 and the base 2 move closer together, causing the hook 31 to abut against the pressing seat 43. The pressing seat 43 moves downward, and the rotating block 431 first abuts against the first inclined edge 4125 and deflects. The rotating block 431 continues to deflect until it extends into the top 4123. At this time, the rotating block 431 is in a vertical state. Then, the pressure relief assembly releases air from the vacuum chamber. Under the action of the reset body 42, the pressing seat 43 and the hook 31 move upward. When the rotating block 431 moves into the vertical part 4121, during the movement, the contact block 442 on the rotating hook 44 abuts against the lever 45 in the receiving groove 411. Figure 5 As shown, rotating hook 44 clockwise deflects it to disengage from hook 31, thus achieving automatic unlocking.
