Detailed Description
In order to make the technical scheme of the present invention better understood by those skilled in the art, the following description is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments.
As shown, the fixture comprises a suction cup 1 and a plurality of sets of support members. In the illustrated scheme, two groups of support assemblies are arranged, one group of support assemblies is in contact with and supports the edge area of the object to be measured with the size A, the other group of support assemblies is in contact with and supports the edge area of the object to be measured with the size B and the middle area of the object to be measured with the size A01, and the middle area refers to an area between the central area and the edge area. In the illustrated embodiment, each group of support assemblies includes three support members 2, and of course, the number of support members 2 of each group of support assemblies is not limited to three, and may be flexibly set according to actual needs.
The support piece 2 is arranged on the sucker 1, and the object 01 to be measured is contacted and supported on the support piece 2 under the adsorption action of the sucker 1. The supporting piece 2 at least partially protrudes out of the top surface of the sucker 1, so that when the object 01 to be detected is supported on the supporting component in a contact manner, a gap L is formed between the supporting piece and the top surface of the sucker 1, and the back surface of the object 01 to be detected is prevented from being contacted in a large area.
The sucker 1 is provided with a plurality of main air cavities 11 and air leakage channels, two main air cavities 11 are arranged in the scheme, the main air cavities 11 are used for air leakage through the air leakage channels, the air leakage channels are arranged on the back side of the object 01 to be tested, when the main air cavities 11 are used for air leakage through the air leakage channels, the back side of the object 01 to be tested can form flowing air flow, so that Bernoulli effect is generated on the back side and the front side of the object 01 to be tested, the air pressure on the back side of the object 01 to be tested is smaller than the air pressure on the front side of the object 01 to be tested, and accordingly the sucker 1 can absorb the object 01 to be tested. In the illustrated embodiment, the top side of the main air chamber 11 is communicated with the gap L, and the air in the main air chamber 11 is discharged through the gap L, and the gap L forms the air discharge passage. Of course, the air release passage may be formed by providing an air release hole in the suction cup 1.
In the illustrated solution, as shown in fig. 4, for an a-size object to be tested (the dotted line indicated by 011 in the figure is the outline of the a-size object to be tested), two main air cavities 11 are corresponding to each other, that is, the two main air cavities 11 are both in the area range of the a-size object to be tested, the a-size object to be tested is fixed to supply air to the two main air cavities 11 at the same time, and for a B-size object to be tested (the dotted line indicated by 012 in the figure is the outline of the B-size object to be tested), only the inner main air cavity 11 corresponds to the same, that is, only the inner main air cavity 11 supplies air to the inner main air cavity 11 when the B-size object to be tested is fixed in the area range of the B-size object to be tested.
The sucker 1 is provided with a plurality of groups of pressure detection holes 12 and a plurality of groups of air injection holes 13.
The air injection holes 13 are communicated with the air supply device 5, the air supply device 5 supplies air to the inside of the main air cavities 11, each main air cavity 11 is respectively communicated with one group of air injection holes 13, so that the air supply to each main air cavity 11 can be cut off independently, the condition that the small-size object to be detected is unstable due to the air flow interference of the peripheral main air cavities is avoided, and the pressure of each main air cavity 11 can be adjusted independently, so that the adsorption forces borne by different areas of the object to be detected 01 tend to be consistent, and the bending deformation of the object to be detected 01 is avoided.
For example, in the illustrated embodiment, when the B-size object is to be measured, the gas supply to the outermost main gas chamber may be cut off, and if the outermost main gas chamber maintains the gas supply, the gas in the outermost main gas chamber may flow to the front side of the B-size object at a high flow rate, resulting in a small pressure difference between the front side and the back side of the B-size object, and thus there may be a case where the fixation is unstable.
The pressure detection holes 12 are communicated with the pressure detection device 4, and each main air cavity 11 is respectively communicated with one group of pressure detection holes 12, so that the internal pressure of each main air cavity 11 can be detected independently, and the basis is provided for the pressure adjustment of each main air cavity 11. The adsorption force of the sucker 1 to the object 01 to be detected can be accurately judged according to the internal pressure of the main air cavity 11, so that corresponding adjustment (such as adjustment of the air supply pressure of the air supply equipment or adjustment of the gap L between the object to be detected and the sucker) can be made accordingly, the moderate adsorption force is ensured, and stable fixation is realized without damaging the object 01 to be detected due to overlarge adsorption force.
The group of pressure detecting holes 12 can be one pressure detecting hole 12 or a plurality of pressure detecting holes 12, and the pressure detecting holes 12 in the same group are preferably uniformly distributed around the center of the sucker. The group of gas injection holes 13 may be a single gas injection hole 13 or a plurality of gas injection holes 13, and the gas injection holes 13 in the same group are preferably uniformly distributed around the center of the sucker.
The suction cup 1 is provided with a bottom wall portion 14 and a plurality of main wall portions 15 (in the illustrated embodiment, three main wall portions 15 are provided). The bottom wall portion 14 has a top surface 14a and a bottom surface 14b. The main wall portion 15 protrudes upward from the top surface 14a of the bottom wall portion 14. The main wall portion 15 has side wall surfaces including an outer side wall surface 15c and an inner side wall surface 15d. The plurality of main air chambers 11 are defined by side wall surfaces of the plurality of main wall portions 15 and top surfaces of the bottom wall portion 14. The main wall portion 15 isolates adjacent main air chambers 11.
The main wall portions 15 are looped in sequence from inside to outside, and the main air chambers 11 are looped in sequence from inside to outside. By the design, the formed main air cavity 11 surrounds the center of the sucker 1, and can generate uniform adsorption force on the whole circumference of the object 01 to be tested, so that the fixing stability is improved. The main wall portion is not limited to an annular shape, and may be, for example, an elliptical shape, a square shape, or the like.
The top surfaces of the plurality of main wall portions 15 form an adsorption surface, and the top surfaces of the plurality of main wall portions 15 are all located on the same plane, that is, the top surfaces of the main wall portions 15 are coplanar, so that the adsorption force of the suction cup 1 can act on the object 01 to be detected more uniformly.
Each set of support members may be located on one of the main wall portions 15 or on the bottom wall portion in one of the main air chambers.
The pressure detecting hole 12 may be provided in the bottom wall portion 14 so that the detected pressure is more accurate.
The air inlet opening of the air injection hole 13 may be provided on the inner side wall surface 15c of the main wall portion 15 or the top surface 14a of the bottom wall portion 14. The gas outlet port of the gas injection hole 13 may be provided on the outer side wall surface 15d of the main wall portion 15 or the bottom surface 14b of the bottom wall portion 14.
The gas outlet direction of the gas injection holes 13 is preferably at zero or acute angle to the inner side wall surface 15c of the main wall portion 15, so that the gas can enter the main gas chamber 11 along or substantially along the inner side tangential line of the main wall portion 15 (as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the arrow lines indicate the flow direction of the gas flow). In this way, a swirling air flow can be generated in the main air chamber 11, and the adsorption force can be more uniformly applied to the object 01 to be measured.
The suction cup 1 is further provided with a central air cavity 11a and a central wall portion 15a. The center of the suction cup 1 is located in the center air chamber 11a, and the center air chamber 11a is located inside the main air chamber 11 inside. The central wall portion (15 a) protrudes from the top surface of the bottom wall portion 1, and the central air chamber 11a is defined by the top surface of the bottom wall portion 14 and the inner side wall surface of the central wall portion 15a. The suction cup 1 is provided with a group of additional air injection holes 13a, and the additional air injection holes 13a are communicated with the central air cavity 11a. Specifically, the additional gas injection hole 13a may be provided on the central wall portion 13a, and may communicate the central gas chamber 11a with the main gas chamber 11 adjacent thereto.
The support member 2 and the suction cup 1 can relatively move along the direction vertical to the suction surface, the fixing device further comprises a driving member 3 for driving the support member 2 and the suction cup 1 to relatively move along the direction vertical to the suction surface, and the driving member 3 is fixed with the suction cup 1. Therefore, the distance between the object to be detected 01 and the adsorption surface can be flexibly adjusted, so that the adsorption force can be conveniently adjusted, and the object to be detected can be conveniently loaded and unloaded.
The driving member 3 may be an air pressure driving member, or an electric driving member, a mechanical driving member, or the like.
Specifically, the pneumatic driving piece is provided with an inner cavity and an air hole, and the air hole is communicated with the air supply equipment and the air extraction equipment 6. The cavity of the driving member 3 is supplied with air by the air supply device, which may be the same as the air supply device for supplying air to the main air chamber 11 described above, so that the cavity of the driving member 3 is at a positive pressure. The inner cavity of the driving piece 3 is subjected to negative pressure by pumping the air from the inner cavity of the driving piece 3 through the air pumping equipment 6. The support member 2 extends at least partially into the interior cavity of the driver member 3 so as to be movable in response to pressure changes in the interior cavity of the driver member 3.
