Compared with existing technology, the present invention has the following specific effects:
The present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art by reading the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
The technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being “mounted or fixed to” another element, it means that the element can be directly on the other element or an intervening element may also be present. When an element is referred to as being “connected” to another element, it means that the element can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may also be present. In the illustrated embodiment, the directions indicated up, down, left, right, front and back, etc. are relative, and are used to explain that the structures and movements of the various components in this case are relative. These representations are appropriate when the components are in the positions shown in the figures. However, if the description of the positions of elements changes, it is believed that these representations will change accordingly.
Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art of the present invention. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the present invention. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
The “vacuum adsorption state” referred to in this document is the operation principle of a suction cup. When the suction cup is attached to a surface of an object and when the surrounding pressure (atmospheric pressure) is higher than the pressure between the suction cup and the surface, a lower pressure is generated between the suction cup and the surface, and the lower the pressure, the higher the degree of vacuum and the gripping force of the suction cup becomes stronger, creating a vacuum adsorption state between the suction cup and the surface.
When the user operates the fixing device 10 of the present invention, the fixing device 10 is first placed on the contact surface of the metal object, and the magnetic adsorption assembly 30 is magnetically fixed to the contact surface to achieve the magnetic attraction effect first. Then, an external force is applied to the fixing device 10 to lower the position of the suction cup body 41 continuously. During lowering the suction cup body 41, the air between the suction cup body 41 and the contact surface will be expelled, so that the suction cup body 41 is in contact with the contact surface, and a vacuum adsorption state of negative pressure is generated between the suction cup body 41 and the surface, thereby achieving the vacuum adsorption effect secondly. Therefore, in order to achieve such an actuation mode, the shell assembly 20 of the present invention adopts an at least two-piece structure, and two pieces are respectively combined with the magnetic adsorption assembly 30 and the suction cup assembly 40 to meet the requirements of different stages during actuation.
As shown in
In the present invention, the shell assembly 20 also includes a partition wall 24, which is locked to an end surface of the first shell 21 facing the direction of the second shell 22. As shown in
In addition, the partition wall 24 has a plurality of recesses first receiving seats 245 facing the second shell 22, and the second shell 22 has a plurality of protruding second receiving seats 222 facing the partition wall 24. The clastic member 23 is a compressible spring. As shown in
The following describes how the present invention ensures that the first shell 21 and the second shell 22 can move relative to each other without being separated. As shown in
The magnetic adsorption assembly 30 is an object with magnetic attraction force, such as a magnet. The number of the magnets can be plural and are arranged in an annular shape. However, in the present embodiment, the magnetic adsorption assembly 30 is a single magnet resembling a circular ring shape. The second shell 22 is formed with a concave annular groove 223 on the end surface away from the first shell 21. The magnetic adsorption assembly 30 is installed in the annular groove 223. The second shell 22 is also provided with a soft pad. 224. The soft pad 224 is used to seal the annular groove 223 so that the magnetic adsorption assembly 30 is hidden in the second shell 22. The magnetic adsorption assembly 30 is distributed around the periphery of the suction cup body 41.
The suction cup assembly 40 includes the suction cup body 41 and the release member 42. The release member 42 is used to contact and lift up the top surface of the suction cup body 41 near the edge, thereby releasing the vacuum adsorption state. The suction cup body 41 is a conical sheet, which can be made of rubber or other soft materials. The suction cup body 41 has an upwardly protruding pulling member 411 at the center. The pulling member 411 is fixed to the center of the partition wall 24 in the present embodiment, and an assembly hole 246 is provided at the center of the partition wall 24. During assembly, the pulling member 411 protrudes from the partition wall 24 through the assembly hole 246, and then a plug pin 412 penetrates the pulling member 411, and the suction cup body 41 is fixed to the partition wall 24.
As shown in
To ensure the stability of the release member 42 when moving and its ability to return to its original position after the external force disappears, the suction cup assembly 40 further includes at least one spring 43. The partition wall 24 has at least one upwardly protruding stopper 248 and two guide pieces 249. The distance between the two guide pieces 249 corresponds to the width of the release member 42.
