[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments do not constitute a limitation on this utility model. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0018] A product's quick-change mechanism for absorbing components, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the assembly includes a robotic arm component 1, which is connected to a quick-change component 2. The quick-change component 2 is detachably connected to a suction component 3. The quick-change component 2 includes a quick-release mounting plate 24, which has several first air pipe connectors 21, second air pipe connectors 22, and locking devices 23. The first air pipe connectors 21 are used to connect to and control the locking devices 23 (the locking devices 23 can be suction cups with suction ports at the lower end, etc.), so that the locking devices 23 suck up the suction component 3. The second air pipe connectors 22 are connected to the connectors 21 and 22. The air passage (the first air pipe connector 21 and the second air pipe connector 22 can be connected to their respective or the same vacuum pump or other vacuum adsorption components through valves or other devices, and the suction component 3 can be detached by its own weight, or it can be set to be used for both blowing and suction), the other end of the air passage of the connector is connected to the air passage in the suction component 3 (controlling the corresponding product suction nozzle 32) to achieve product suction; the locking device 23 is fixed to the lower side of the quick-release mounting plate 24, and the suction nozzle mounting block 31 is installed on the lower side of the quick-release mounting plate 24 through the locking device 23, and can be installed, removed and replaced; Specifically, in this embodiment, the quick-installation mounting plate 24 has three sets of air passages. One set of air passages is a locking air passage located in the middle. One end is connected to the side of the quick-installation mounting plate 24 and connected to the first air pipe connector 21. The other end is connected downward to the lower end of the quick-installation mounting plate 24 and connected to the locking device 23, so that the first air pipe connector 21 is connected to the locking device 23 to control its locking or unlocking. The other two sets of air passages are connector air passages, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the locking air passage. One end is connected to the side of the quick-installation mounting plate 24 and connected to the second air pipe connector 22 (the first air pipe connector 21 and the second air pipe connector 22 are connected side by side to one side of the quick-installation mounting plate 24). The other end is connected downward to the lower end of the quick-installation mounting plate 24, and the air passages are connected after the suction assembly 3 is installed.

[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the suction assembly 3 includes a suction nozzle mounting block 31 and a product suction nozzle 32. The suction nozzle mounting block 31 is provided with a plurality of suction nozzle air passages. The locking device 23 locks the suction nozzle mounting block 31. The second air pipe connector 22 is aligned with and connected to the suction nozzle air passage through the connector air passage. The other end (lower end) of the suction nozzle air passage is connected to the corresponding product suction nozzle 32. The locking device 23 can directly hold the nozzle mounting block 31. However, in this embodiment, a more stable mechanical structure is used to connect and fix the nozzle mounting block 31. Several radial holes are opened on the outer periphery of the locking device 23 and connected to spring-driven positioning rods / beads. The outer end of the hole can be connected to an annular limiting block to limit the maximum extension distance of the positioning rods / beads (the positioning rods are stepped with a smaller outer end and a larger inner end). The bottom of the hole is connected inward to the first air pipe connector 21, so that when the first air pipe connector 21 is cut off, the positioning rods / beads extend out by spring drive and insert into the first air pipe connector 21. The nozzle mounting block 31 is fixed (the locking device 23 includes a base fixed in the bottom of the hole in the nozzle mounting block 31, the inner wall of the base is provided with a positioning hole, the outer periphery of the main body of the locking device 23 is connected to a positioning rod / bead, the positioning rod / bead pops out by a spring when the air is cut off and inserts into the positioning hole to achieve locking and fixing, and when the air is supplied, it is sucked into the main body of the locking device 23 by negative pressure to achieve separation); when it needs to be disconnected, the positioning rod / bead is sucked inward by connecting negative pressure through the first air pipe connector 21, so that it retracts into the locking device 23 and separates from the nozzle mounting block 31; Specifically, the product suction nozzle 32 is fixed to the lower side of the suction nozzle mounting block 31. The suction nozzle air passages are symmetrically arranged, with the upper end aligned with the connector air passage in the quick-release mounting plate 24 (a number of sealing rings 33 are provided between the quick-release mounting plate 24 and the suction nozzle mounting block 31. The sealing rings 33 can be fixed below the quick-release mounting plate 24, ultimately sealing it between the corresponding connector air passage and the suction nozzle air passage). The lower end is connected to the corresponding product suction nozzle 32 to achieve product suction. The locking air passage and the connector air passage can be connected to the same or different negative pressure generating devices to achieve different control requirements.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, a locking hole is provided in the middle of the nozzle mounting block 31 for the base of the locking device 23 to be fixed therein. The base is cylindrical. The main body of the locking device 23 is inserted downward into the base and locked inside the base to achieve fixation with the nozzle mounting block 31. In order to further improve the positioning effect, a positioning component is also provided in the quick-change component 2 or the suction component 3 to position the installation position between the quick-change component 2 and the suction component 3. In this embodiment, the positioning component includes two symmetrically arranged alignment block pins 25. The alignment block pins 25 are connected to the quick-release upper mounting plate 24 and positioned and inserted into the suction nozzle mounting block 31. The alignment block pins 25 can be fixed in the quick-release upper mounting plate 24, or they can be extended and retracted by means of an electric cylinder or other means to achieve different positioning requirements.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, the robotic arm assembly 1 includes a horizontal movement drive and a vertical slide cylinder 11. The horizontal movement drive achieves horizontal movement through a rotating arm driven by several rotating motors or a linear module driven by linear motion. The end of the robotic arm assembly 1 can also be connected to a rotary table, which is driven to rotate by a motor. The rotary table is connected to the slide cylinder 11 and drives it to rotate, adjusting its angle. Finally, the output end of the slide cylinder 11 is connected downward to the quick-change assembly 2, realizing the functions of horizontal movement, vertical movement, and self-rotation adjustment of the quick-change assembly 2, so as to accurately achieve position and angle control and adjustment. In some embodiments, the robotic arm assembly 1 is also provided with a fixed suction component storage position 4 and a suction component storage empty position 5 on one side. The robotic arm assembly 1 drives the quick-change assembly 2 to move and pass through the suction component storage position 4 and the suction component storage empty position 5. The suction component 3 is placed in the suction component storage empty position 5 and a new suction component 3 is loaded in the suction component storage position 4. Working principle: The robotic arm component 1 moves the existing product suction component 3, first placing it on the suction component storage space 5, then moving it to the suction component storage position 4 to replace the new suction component 3, and finally returning to the working position; the specific steps for replacing the suction component 3 are as follows: first, the locking device 23 continuously ventilates, causing the suction component 3 to disengage from the quick-release mounting plate 24, then it is aligned and connected to the new suction component 3 through the alignment quick-release pin 25, and the locking device 23 cuts off the air supply and locks the new suction component 3.

[0022] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this utility model within its substance and protection scope, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
