Specific Embodiments

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation manners obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope protected by the present invention.

[0034] The purpose of this specific embodiment is to provide a conveying device for capacitor housings, which solves the problems of manual conveying, consuming a large amount of labor, and the need to store a certain amount of capacitor housings on the machine table, resulting in mess on the assembly equipment.

[0035] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the embodiments shown below do not limit the content of the invention described in the claims in any way. In addition, all the contents of the configurations shown in the following embodiments are not limited to those necessary for the solution of the invention described in the claims.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4, in this embodiment, the conveying device for the capacitor housing includes a storage rack 1, a robotic arm 5, a flipping mechanism 6, and a conveying device. Among them, a plurality of boxes 2 are placed on the storage rack 1, and a plurality of capacitor housings are vertically placed in each box 2; the robotic arm 5 grabs the box 2 and places the box 2 containing the capacitor housing on the flipping mechanism 6. The conveying device is arranged below the flipping mechanism 6. The flipping mechanism 6 drives the box 2 to flip towards the upper surface of the conveying device, so that the capacitor housing in the box 2 falls out of the box 2 and is placed on the conveying device. The conveying device transports the capacitor housing to the capacitor assembly equipment.

[0037] With such an arrangement, the conveying process of the capacitor housing is completed by the conveying device, replacing the traditional manual conveying, reducing the labor consumption, and improving the conveying efficiency; moreover, the conveying device can continuously transport the capacitor housing to the capacitor assembly equipment, and can meet the high-efficiency production requirements of the capacitor assembly equipment without storing on the machine table, and can avoid the mess on the machine table.

[0038] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 2 , the flipping mechanism 6 includes a flipping disk 601, a cover body 602, a first driving device and a second driving device that drive the flipping disk 601 and the cover body 602 to flip respectively. The cover body 602 is rotatably connected to the edge of the flipping disk 601. Specifically, the cover body 602 and the flipping disk 601 can be but are not limited to being connected by a hinge. A fastening device 603 for fixing the box 2 is arranged in the flipping disk 601. The conveying device further includes a pushing mechanism 8 for pushing the capacitor housing flipped onto the cover body 602 onto the conveying device. The first driving device and the second driving device include transmission components such as a stepping motor and gears. The gears connected to the stepping motor are engaged with the gears arranged on the flipping disk 601 and the cover body 602. When the stepping motor works, it drives the flipping disk 601 and the cover body 602 to flip; of course, in other embodiments, other transmission components can also be used for transmission as long as they can drive the flipping disk 601 and the cover body 602 to flip.

[0039] Specifically, the robotic arm 5 places the box 2 into the flipping disk 601, and fixes the box 2 in the flipping disk 601 through the fastening device 603. The second driving device drives the cover body 602 to flip and cover the upper port of the flipping disk 601; then, the first driving device and the second driving device work simultaneously to drive the flipping disk 601 and the cover body 602 to flip 180° towards the upper surface of the conveying device; afterwards, the first driving device drives the flipping disk 601 to flip 180° in the reverse direction to reset. At this time, the box 2 is still fixed in the flipping disk 601, and the capacitor housing stands upright on the cover body 602; finally, the pushing mechanism 8 pushes the capacitor housing flipped onto the cover body 602 onto the conveying device.

[0040] With such a setting, the flipping mechanism 6 drives the box body 2 to flip, so that the capacitor housing inside the box body 2 can be disengaged. The structure of the flipping mechanism 6 is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0041] In the preferred solution of this embodiment, an empty box collection area is also provided on the storage rack 1. After the first driving device drives the flipping disk 601 to flip 180° in the reverse direction and reset, the fastening device 603 releases the fixation of the box body 2. The robotic arm 5 grabs the empty box body 2 in the flipping disk 601 and places the empty box body 2 in the empty box collection area. With such a setting, the robotic arm 5 automatically recycles the empty box bodies 2, avoiding the messy placement of the empty box bodies 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, the conveying device includes a feeding conveyor belt 9 and a conveying pipeline 10. The flipping mechanism 6 is arranged at the input end of the feeding conveyor belt 9. One end of the conveying pipeline 10 is connected to the output end of the feeding conveyor belt 9, and the other end is connected to the capacitor assembly equipment. Preferably, the conveying equipment includes a frame body, and both the flipping mechanism 6 and the conveying device are arranged on the frame body.

[0043] With such a setting, the conveying device transports the capacitor housing to the capacitor assembly equipment. The conveying pipeline 10 is arranged at the output end of the feeding conveyor belt 9, and the arrangement of the conveying pipeline 10 is more convenient, and the capacitor housing can be transported over a long distance through the long conveying pipeline 10.

[0044] Preferably, a plurality of conveying pipelines 10 are provided, and a material distribution mechanism 7 is further provided between the feeding conveyor belt 9 and the conveying pipelines 10. The material distribution mechanism 7 is provided with a plurality of feeding channels arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the conveying pipelines 10.

[0045] With such a setting, setting a plurality of conveying pipelines 10 can correspond to multiple production lines of the capacitor assembly equipment, improving the capacitor assembly efficiency, and the material distribution device can enable the capacitor housing to enter each conveying pipeline 10 more smoothly.

[0046] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , the conveying pipeline 10 includes a suction device 101 and a pipeline 102. The suction device 101 is communicated with the feeding channel, and the pipeline 102 is connected to the end of the suction device 101 away from the feeding channel. The suction device 101 is a vacuum suction device of model ZH40 - B - X185 from SMC Corporation. An opening is provided on the side wall of the suction device 101, and the opening is connected to compressed air and blows compressed air into the outlet end of the suction device 101, so that the inlet end of the suction device 101 is a negative pressure area and the outlet end is a positive pressure area. The capacitor housing enters the suction device 101 from the inlet end under the action of negative pressure, and moves in the pipeline 102 under the thrust of the positive pressure formed by the compressed air, and is transported to the capacitor assembly equipment. Preferably, the cross-sectional shapes of the suction device 101, the pipeline 102, and the capacitor housing are the same, all being circular.

[0047] With such arrangement, the capacitor casing is transported through the aspirator 101 and the pipeline, and the capacitor casing moves in the pipeline, which can prevent the capacitor casing from rolling and make the transportation smoother under the push of compressed gas.

[0048] In this embodiment, the end of the material conveying channel is not at the same height as the inlet end of the conveying pipeline 10, and a lifting platform 4 is provided between the material conveying channel and the conveying pipeline 10, and a groove for placing the capacitor housing is provided on the upper end surface of the lifting platform 4. Preferably, the lifting platform 4 is raised and lowered by the drive of the cylinder. With such a configuration, the lifting platform 4 plays a role of receiving and transitioning, receiving the capacitor housing on the material conveying channel and conveying it into the conveying pipeline 10; the groove on the lifting platform 4 can prevent the capacitor housing from rolling off the upper end surface of the lifting platform 4. Preferably, the upper end surface of the lifting platform 4 is arc-shaped.

[0049] In this embodiment, the conveying device further includes a material pushing telescopic cylinder arranged opposite to the inlet end of the conveying pipeline 10, and the material pushing telescopic cylinder pushes the capacitor housing on the lifting platform 4 into the conveying pipeline 10. Specifically, the end of the conveying channel is higher than the inlet end of the conveying pipeline 10, and a material pushing telescopic cylinder arranged opposite to the inlet end of the conveying pipeline 10 is arranged below the conveying channel.

[0050] When the capacitor housing moves to a position close to the end of the feeding channel, the lifting platform 4 rises, and the capacitor housing on the feeding channel moves to the lifting platform 4. A baffle 11 is fixed between the lifting platform 4 and the conveying pipeline 10 to prevent the capacitor housing from falling from the end of the lifting platform 4 close to the conveying pipeline 10. After that, the lifting platform 4 is lowered to a certain height, so that the capacitor housing placed horizontally on the lifting platform 4 avoids the obstruction of the baffle 11 and is opposite to the inlet end of the conveying pipeline 10. At this time, the piston rod of the push telescopic cylinder extends, pushing the capacitor housing into the conveying pipeline 10, and is transported to the pipeline 102 under the action of the suction device 101.

[0051] With such arrangement, the push-pushing telescopic cylinder cooperates with the negative pressure of the suction device 101 , so that the capacitor housing can enter the conveying pipeline 10 more smoothly.

[0052] In a preferred solution of this embodiment, a fastening device 603 for fixing the box body 2 is provided on the side wall of the flipping disc 601, and the fastening device 603 is provided on two opposite side walls of the flipping disc 601. The fastening device 603 is a telescopic cylinder, and the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder extends and abuts against the side wall of the box body 2. The piston rod applies a thrust to the box body 2, so that the box body 2 is clamped between the oppositely arranged cylinders. When the flipping disc 601 drives the box body 2 to flip, it is necessary for the telescopic cylinder to fix the box body 2 in the flipping disc 601; when the flipping disc 601 flips back in the opposite direction and resets, the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder retracts to release the fixation of the box body 2, which is convenient for the robotic arm 5 to grab the empty box body 2 and place it in the empty box collection area. Among them, the telescopic cylinder can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pushing mechanism 8 is a push plate 801 arranged above the feeding conveyor belt 9. The push plate 801 is vertically arranged and can move from the input end to the output end of the feeding conveyor belt 9 to push the vertically placed capacitor housing on the cover plate onto the feeding conveyor belt 9. Sliders are provided at both ends of the push plate 801, and slide rails are provided at positions on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt 9 on the frame body. The sliders slide in the slide rails, and the length direction of the slide rails is the same as the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt 9. The push plate 801 is connected to the servo motor through a screw-nut mechanism 802. A nut is arranged on the push plate 801, the screw rod is connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the length direction of the screw rod is the same as the length direction of the slide rails. Preferably, the pushing mechanism 8 further includes a cylinder for driving the push plate 801 to rise and fall. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, after the flipping disc 601 drives the capacitor housing to flip, the capacitor housings are all vertically placed on the cover body 602. The push plate 801 is raised by the cylinder, and under the guiding action of the slide rail, it moves to the input end of the feeding conveyor belt 9, and then the height of the push plate 801 is lowered by the cylinder. After that, the push plate 801 moves towards the output end of the feeding conveyor belt 9 and pushes each capacitor housing from the cover body 602 onto the feeding conveyor belt 9.

[0054] In this embodiment, the material distribution mechanism 7 includes a plurality of material distribution conveyor belts 702. Each material distribution conveyor belt 702 corresponds to a conveying pipeline 10 one by one. A material distribution plate 701 is provided between adjacent two material distribution conveyor belts 702. Each material distribution plate 701 is arranged at the input end of the material distribution conveyor belt 702. The material distribution conveyor belt 702 and the material distribution plate 701 are both arranged on the frame body. The width of the material distribution plate 701 gradually decreases from the end close to the material distribution conveyor belt 702 to the end far from the material distribution conveyor belt 702, and the upper surfaces of each material distribution conveyor belt 702 form a feeding channel. Preferably, the shape of the material distribution plate 701 is triangular.

[0055] Specifically, the capacitor housings vertically placed on the material feeding conveyor belt 9 move towards the direction close to the material distributing plate 701. Since the shapes of the respective material distributing plates 701 are all triangular, a channel with a gradually decreasing width from the end far away from the material feeding channel to the end close to the material feeding channel is formed between two adjacent material distributing plates 701, facilitating the capacitor housings moving to the position of the material distributing plate 701 to enter each channel, and then moving onto each material distributing conveyor belt 702. At the middle position along the length direction of the material distributing conveyor belt 702 and above the conveyor belt, there is a stop block 12. When the capacitor housing moves to the position of the stop block 12, it will be knocked down by the stop block 12, and then the capacitor housing is horizontally placed on the material distributing conveyor belt 702, facilitating the subsequent feeding of the capacitor housing into the conveying pipeline 10.

[0056] In this embodiment, a feeding conveyor belt is provided on the storage rack 1, and the robotic arm 5 is arranged at the end of the feeding conveyor belt, facilitating the grasping of the boxes 2 on the feeding conveyor belt. Preferably, there are at least two feeding conveyor belts, and multiple boxes 2 are stacked on the feeding conveyor belt in layers. The conveying directions of the respective feeding conveyor belts are the same, and each feeding conveyor belt is provided with multiple stacks of boxes 2, each stack including multiple boxes 2 stacked vertically, and multiple capacitor housings are vertically placed in each box 2.

[0057] With such an arrangement, it is beneficial to improve the conveying efficiency of the conveying equipment, and the stacked boxes 2 can reduce the space occupied by the conveying equipment.

[0058] Furthermore, a receiving conveyor belt is also provided on the storage rack 1. The receiving conveyor belt is arranged in parallel with the material feeding conveyor belt 9 and has the opposite conveying direction. The upper surface of the receiving conveyor belt is the empty box collection area. The robotic arm 5 stacks the empty boxes 2 in layers on the receiving conveyor belt, and the receiving conveyor belt conveys the boxes 2, avoiding the accumulation of the empty boxes 2 on the conveying equipment and causing the conveying equipment to be messy.

[0059] In this embodiment, a positioning platform 3 is further provided at the end of the feeding conveyor belt. The feeding conveyor belt conveys the box 2 to the positioning platform 3, and the robotic arm 5 is arranged above the positioning platform 3. With such an arrangement, the moving route of the robotic arm 5 is relatively simple. The robotic arm 5 moves downward to grasp the box 2, calculates the height to be lowered for each grasping based on the thickness of the box 2, and moves the box 2 into the flipping disk 601 after grasping.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3, the robotic arm 5 includes a horizontal guide rail 501 horizontally disposed at the upper end of the storage rack 1, and a vertical arm 502 slidably connected to the horizontal guide rail 501. A grasping chuck 503 is provided at the lower end of the vertical arm 502. Cylinders are provided on opposite sides of the grasping chuck 503, and the box body 2 is grasped by clamping the box body 2 with the cylinders. Sliding components are provided between the horizontal guide rail 501 and the storage rack 1, and between the vertical arm 502 and the horizontal guide rail 501. The sliding component includes a slide rail and a slider that can extend into the slide rail. The horizontal guide rail 501 can move along the x-axis on the storage rack 1, the vertical arm 502 can move along the length direction of the horizontal guide rail 501, that is, along the y-axis, and the vertical arm 502 can also move in the vertical direction, that is, along the z-axis. With such a setting, the robotic arm 5 can move to all areas in the nearby space, facilitating the grasping of the box body 2 in the space.

[0061] The following content specifically describes the conveying device of the capacitor housing in combination with the above various embodiments. In this embodiment, the conveying device includes a storage rack 1. Inside the storage rack 1, two feeding conveyor belts are arranged in parallel. A plurality of box bodies 2 are stacked layer by layer on each feeding conveyor belt. A plurality of capacitor housings can be vertically placed in each box body 2. A receiving conveyor belt parallel to the feeding conveyor belt but with the opposite conveying direction is also provided in the internal space of the storage rack 1. Both the feeding conveyor belt and the receiving conveyor belt are connected to the storage rack 1. A support frame for supporting the robotic arm 5 is provided at the output end of the feeding conveyor belt. A positioning platform 3 is provided in the internal space of the support frame. The feeding conveyor belt conveys the box body 2 containing the capacitor housing to the positioning platform 3, and the robotic arm 5 grasps the box body 2 from the positioning platform 3 and can drive the box body 2 to move.

[0062] A frame for supporting the flipping structure and the conveying device is provided on the side of the support frame away from the storage rack 1. The flipping mechanism 6 includes a flipping disk 601, a cover body 602, and a first driving device and a second driving device for respectively driving the flipping of the flipping disk 601 and the cover body 602. The conveying device includes a feeding conveyor belt 9 and a conveying pipeline 10 both arranged at the upper end of the frame. The conveying pipeline includes a suction device 101 and a pipeline 102 connected to the suction device 101. A material distribution mechanism 7 is provided between the feeding conveyor belt 9 and the conveying pipeline 10. The material distribution mechanism 7 includes a plurality of material distribution conveyor belts 702. A material distribution plate 701 is provided between adjacent two material distribution conveyor belts 702. Each material distribution plate 701 is arranged at the inlet end of the material distribution conveyor belt 702. All the material distribution plates 701 are triangular in shape, and the base of the triangle is close to the material distribution conveyor belt 702. A plurality of conveying pipelines 10 are provided and are in one-to-one correspondence with the material distribution conveyor belts 702.

[0063] A lifting platform 4 is provided between the material distribution conveyor belt 702 and the conveying pipeline 10. A groove for placing the capacitor housing is provided on the upper end surface of the lifting platform 4. The inlet end of the conveying pipeline 10 is lower than the output end of the material distribution conveyor belt 702, and a pushing telescopic cylinder is provided below the material distribution conveyor belt 702. A pushing plate 801 is further provided on the frame. The pushing plate 801 is arranged above the material conveying conveyor belt 9 and can move relative to the material conveying conveyor belt 9 to push the capacitor housing flipped onto the cover body 602 onto the material conveying conveyor belt 9. A stop block 12 is provided above each material distribution conveyor belt 702, and the stop block 12 is used to knock down the capacitor housing placed vertically on the material distribution conveyor belt 702.

[0064] The working process of the conveying device for the capacitor housing is as follows. The feeding conveyor belt conveys the box body 2 containing the capacitor housing to the positioning platform 3. The robotic arm 5 grabs the box body 2 from the positioning platform 3 and places the box body 2 containing the capacitor housing into the flipping disk 601. The telescopic cylinder on the side wall of the flipping disk 601 presses against the box body 2 to fix the box body 2 in the flipping disk 601. The second driving device drives the cover body 602 to flip and cover the upper port of the flipping disk 601. The first driving device and the second driving device work simultaneously to drive the flipping disk 601 and the cover body 602 to flip 180° together, turning towards the upper surface of the material conveying conveyor belt 9. Then, the first driving device drives the flipping disk 601 to flip 180° in the reverse direction to reset. The robotic arm 5 grabs the empty box body 2 in the flipping disk 601 and stacks it onto the receiving conveyor belt. After flipping, the capacitor housings are all vertically placed on the cover body 602. The pushing plate 801 moves to the input end of the material conveying conveyor belt 9 and pushes the capacitor housing from the cover body 602 onto the material conveying conveyor belt 9. When the capacitor housing moves to the position of the material distribution plate 701, it enters different conveying channels respectively and is conveyed on the material distribution conveyor belt 702. The stop block 12 knocks down the capacitor housing during the conveying process. The lifting platform 4 at the end of the material distribution conveyor belt 702 rises, receives the capacitor housing and descends to a height flush with the conveying pipeline 10. The pushing telescopic cylinder pushes the capacitor housing to the inlet of the suction device 101, and the capacitor housing is sucked into the suction device 101 under the action of negative pressure and moves in the pipeline 102 under the push of compressed gas, and finally is conveyed to the capacitor assembly equipment.

[0065] With such a setting, the conveying device for the capacitor housing can automatically complete the conveying, replacing the traditional manual conveying process, reducing the labor consumption, improving the conveying efficiency. At the same time, the conveying device realizes continuous conveying. Without storing a large number of capacitor housings on the assembly equipment, it can meet the needs of the high-efficiency production of the assembly equipment and avoid the problem of the mess of the machine table of the assembly equipment.

The multiple solutions provided by the present invention include their own basic solutions, which are independent of each other and do not restrict each other.
