The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The embodiment of the application provides a suction device. Referring to fig. 1 to 5, a suction device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application may include: a base 110, a first flipping base 120, a second flipping base 130, a first sucker 140, a second sucker 150 and a third sucker 160.

Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present application, the first flipping seat 120 is rotatably disposed on a first side portion of the base 110, and the second flipping seat 130 is rotatably disposed on a second side portion of the base 110, the first side portion and the second side portion being respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the base 110. Thus, in the process of turning over the first turning seat 120, the second sucker 150 disposed on the first turning seat 120 can be driven to rotate around the rotating shaft of the first turning seat 120. In the process of turning over the second turning seat 130, the third suction device 160 disposed on the second turning seat 130 can be driven to rotate around the rotation shaft of the second turning seat 130. Thus, the suction device 100 can be switched between the unfolded state and the folded state by turning the first turning seat 120 and the second turning seat 130.

Referring to fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present application, in the case where the suction device 100 is switched to the unfolded state, the ends of the first flipping base 120 and the second flipping base 130, which are away from the base 110, are both flipped to positions away from the base 110, and the orientation of the second suction device 150 and the orientation of the third suction device 160 are the same. In this way, the object to be sucked having a large size specification of the suction surface can be sucked by the second and
