Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of capacitor production, and more particularly to a slideway structure and a material taking mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Capacitors are packed in cardboard boxes and placed beside the operator. When the operator takes a capacitor, two actions of taking the material and discharging are required.

[0003] Since the capacitor is filled with electrolyte inside, after being pressurized and aged during the production process, the product is discharged when it comes off the production line. However, the internal electrolyte will undergo a chemical reaction inside, resulting in a voltage recovery within 60V of the product. If the charged capacitor is directly installed on the circuit board, it will cause breakdown and burnout of other low-voltage components on the circuit board. Therefore, before the capacitor is welded to the circuit board, it is necessary to make the capacitor pins contact the discharging component (such as a conductive plate) to short-circuit the positive and negative terminals of the capacitor for discharging, ensuring that the internal voltage of the capacitor is 0V when in use. Large capacitors are discharged during the manufacturing process, but static electricity may be generated during the incoming material process or there may be a possibility of leakage discharge during the manufacturing process, resulting in the capacitor storing electricity. Therefore, secondary discharge is required before inserting the capacitor into the circuit board to prevent short-circuit explosion during soldering in the wave soldering.

[0004] The applicant of the present invention has found that there are at least the following technical problems in the prior art:

[0005] 1. The operator needs to take the material from the packaging box and then make the capacitor pins contact the fixed discharging area (such as a conductive plate) for discharging. Working step by step according to the above steps, the process is complex and the work and production efficiency are low.

[0006] 2. The placement position of the packaging box beside the operator is variable, that is, the material taking point position is variable. When the operator takes a capacitor, the operator needs to swing the upper arm, forearm, wrist and twist the waist, etc. to complete the grasping action. Especially for large-capacity capacitors, the labor intensity of the operator is large, resulting in low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0045] Embodiment 1

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 as shown. Figure 3 In the figure, the arrow direction indicates the workpiece conveying direction. This embodiment provides a slideway structure, including a slideway body 1 and a discharging component. Among them: The slideway body 1 is inclined for conveying workpieces. Specifically, the slideway body 1 is inclined downward along the workpiece conveying direction. The slideway body 1 has a shape that can turn the workpiece from the state with pins facing up to the state with pins facing down during the conveying process; the discharging component is located in the slideway body 1 and can contact the downward-facing pins to discharge the workpiece.

[0047] In this embodiment, the workpiece takes the capacitor 100 as an example. The large capacitor 100 schematically shown in the figure is a component that can store electricity and usually has a relatively high voltage. Currently, 380V is used on site. The following will be described taking the large capacitor 100 as an example. The above-mentioned discharging component is made of a conductive material, and the discharging component is connected to the ground wire and can contact the pins of the large capacitor 100 to release the electricity remaining in the capacitor 100. In this embodiment, the discharging steel plate 131 is taken as an example for illustration, and no specific limitation is made.

[0048] The slideway structure of this embodiment is inclined to utilize gravity to convey workpieces, so that the workpieces are transported to the fixed-point material-taking position. Through the shape of the slideway body 1, the workpieces are flipped from the pin-facing state to the pin-down state during the conveying process, so that the pins are in contact with the discharging component to complete discharging. This slideway structure enables the workpieces to complete discharging during the conveying process and be transported to a fixed point for easy installation by the operator, reducing the separate discharging process, realizing fixed-point material-taking, and improving work efficiency.

[0049] The above-mentioned slideway body 1 is made by 3D printing, such as stereolithography 3D printer printing and FDM printing. The slideway body 1 has the advantages of rapid prototyping, flexible customization and low cost, and can realize the flipping, secondary discharging and fixed-point discharging of the large capacitor 100. When replacing large capacitors of different sizes, only modify the three-dimensional model size and reprint, with a short cycle and low cost.

[0050] To realize the flipping of the large capacitor 100, as an optional implementation method, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the slideway body 1 includes a spiral rotating guide rail 12, and the rotating guide rail 12 has a length that can flip the workpiece by 180°. In other words, the length of the rotating guide rail 12 allows the workpiece to flip by 180°.

[0051] Specifically, see Figure 3 , the above-mentioned rotating guide rail 12 is a structure with a closed perimeter. The rotating guide rail 12 is spiral, and the inner wall of the rotating guide rail 12 can restrict the movement of the workpiece, and the length of the rotating guide rail 12 can flip the workpiece from the pin-up state to the pin-down state (including flipping once by 180° or multiple times by 180°). Among them, the driving force for the workpiece to move downward is provided by its own gravity (the slideway body 1 is inclined downward). Modifying the cross-sectional shape of the rotating guide rail 12 can adapt to various workpieces, such as batteries, large capacitors of different specifications, etc. See Figure 3 , when the large capacitor 100 enters the slideway body 1, the initial state is that the pin 101 is upward. When it reaches the end of the slideway body 1, it is flipped to the state where the pin is downward, and after the flipping is completed, the downward pin 101 contacts the discharging component (discharging steel plate 131) to discharge, reducing the separate discharging work and improving the work efficiency of the operator.

[0052] As an optional implementation method, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the slideway body 1 includes a discharging guide rail 13 connected to the outlet end of the rotating guide rail 12, and the discharging component is fixed to the bottom inside the discharging guide rail 13.

[0053] The discharging guide rail 13 with the discharging steel plate 131 is arranged at the outlet end of the rotating guide rail 12, so that the pin 101 of the large capacitor 100 that has completed a 180° rotation can contact the discharging steel plate 131.

[0054] As an alternative embodiment, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there is a groove 132 at the bottom of the inner cavity of the discharge guide rail 13. The groove 132 extends along the workpiece conveying direction and the pin 101 extending into the groove 132 is in clearance fit with the bottom surface (concave surface) of the groove 132. The structure of the above groove enables the pin 101 of the flipped large capacitor 100 to extend into the groove 132 and slide along the groove 132. The pin 101 is in clearance fit with the bottom surface and the concave surface of the groove 132, preventing the pin 101 from contacting the inner bottom surface of the groove 132 and damaging the pin 101 during the conveying process.

[0055] As an alternative embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the discharge component has a contact surface protruding from the bottom surface of the groove 132 and lower than the upper edge of the groove 132. The above discharge steel plate 131 is fitted in the groove 132. Refer to Figure 5 , when the capacitor 100 moves in the discharge guide rail 13 for a period of time, it can be lifted by the part of the discharge steel plate 131 protruding from the bottom surface of the groove 132 and contacted for discharging, as Figure 6 shown. The matching structure of the above discharge steel plate 131 and the groove 132 can ensure that the pin 101 of the large capacitor 100 contacts the discharge steel plate 131 and ensure the discharge of the large capacitor 100.

[0056] In order to enable the large capacitor 100 to move smoothly in the discharge guide rail 13 until it contacts the discharge steel plate 131, as an alternative embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown. The above contact surface (the surface of the discharge steel plate 131 for contacting the pin) includes a horizontal plane 1311, a first inclined plane 1312 connected to the feeding end of the horizontal plane 1311, and a second inclined plane 1313 connected to the discharging end of the horizontal plane 1311. Among them, the first inclined plane 1312 is inclined upward along the workpiece conveying direction, and the second inclined plane 1313 is inclined downward along the workpiece conveying direction. Among them, the above horizontal plane 1311 refers to a plane parallel to the discharge guide rail 13.

[0057] The large capacitor 100 moves downward in the discharge guide rail 13, first moves along the surface of the first inclined plane 1312 to the horizontal plane 1311, is lifted by the horizontal plane 1311 to ensure full contact and discharge between the two, and then descends along the second inclined plane 1313 and re-enters the groove 132 and enters the next component. The above structure can ensure the smooth movement of the large capacitor 100 while realizing the contact discharge between the pin 101 of the large capacitor 100 and the discharge steel plate 131.

[0058] As an alternative embodiment, refer toFigure 3 As shown in the figure, the chute body 1 includes a material-taking guide rail 14 with a material-taking port 141. The material-taking guide rail 14 is connected to the discharge end of the discharge guide rail 13. Both the discharge guide rail 13 and the material-taking guide rail 14 are inclined linear guide rails. When the large capacitor 100 completes the contact between the pin 101 and the discharge steel plate 131 in the discharge guide rail 13 and enters the material-taking port 141 of the material-taking guide rail 14, the operator can take the material at a fixed point at the material-taking port 141, without having to take the material from the packaging boxes at multiple positions on the side of the body. In this embodiment, both the discharge guide rail 13 and the material-taking guide rail 14 are linear guide rails inclined downward along the workpiece conveying direction, which facilitates the workpiece to slide downward under the action of gravity.

[0059] As an alternative embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , the chute body 1 includes a feeding guide rail 11 with a feeding port 111. The feeding guide rail 11 is connected to the feeding end of the rotating guide rail 12. The feeding guide rail 11 is a linear guide rail.

[0060] The large capacitor 100 enters the rotating guide rail 12 from the feeding guide rail 11, which facilitates the large capacitor 100 to slide downward and be conveyed in the rotating guide rail 12 to complete the flipping. The above-mentioned material-taking guide rail 14 is the same as the above-mentioned discharge guide rail 13 and material-taking guide rail 14, and they are all linear guide rails inclined downward along the workpiece conveying direction, which facilitates the workpiece to slide downward under the action of gravity.

[0061] Preferably, in order to facilitate the flipping of the large capacitor 100, the width of the chute body 1 in this embodiment can only accommodate a single large capacitor 100, so that each large capacitor 100 is sequentially conveyed, flipped, discharged, and taken in the chute body 1, preventing the large capacitors from affecting each other in the sliding body.

[0062] When the workpiece in this embodiment is the large capacitor 100, since the large capacitor 100 is heavy, it can be directly conveyed downward by the inclined chute body; when the workpiece is a light workpiece, it may cause unsmooth sliding and the slope of the chute body 1 needs to be increased. Some light workpieces can also be equipped with a linear vibrator according to needs to assist the chute body 1 in discharging materials. The chute body 1 printed by light curing is smoother, and the workpiece slides more smoothly inside.

[0063] Embodiment 2

[0064] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figures 7 - 9 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a material-taking mechanism, which includes a feeding component and the above-mentioned chute structure. The feeding component is connected to the feeding port 111 of the chute body 1 for conveying the workpiece into the chute. The material-taking mechanism of this embodiment, due to having the above-mentioned chute structure, can feed the material into the chute structure through the feeding component, so it also has the advantages of reducing the separate discharging process, realizing the operator's fixed-point material taking, and improving work efficiency.

[0065] As an alternative embodiment, see Figures 7 - 9 As shown, the feeding assembly includes a feeding tray 2 connected to the feed end of the slide body 1, and the feeding tray 2 is arranged to be tilted downward along the workpiece conveying direction so that the workpiece is conveyed under the action of gravity. Preferably, the inclined surface of the feeding tray 2 for supporting the workpiece is located in the same plane as the bottom surface of the feed end of the slide body 1 (the bottom surface of the feeding guide rail), thereby ensuring that the workpiece is smoothly conveyed from the feeding tray 2 to the slide body 1.

[0066] The feeding tray 2 can accommodate a plurality of large capacitors 100 , so that the plurality of large capacitors 100 have the power to be transported downward, which facilitates the transportation, flipping and discharge of the large capacitors 100 in the slide body 1 .

[0067] As an alternative embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, baffles 4 are rotatably connected to both sides of the bottom end of the feeding tray 2, and one end of the baffle 4 can be hinged to the feeding tray 2 through a hinge 41; at least one baffle 4 is connected to a driving device 5, wherein the two baffles 4 are used to intercept the passage of workpieces when stationary, and the driving device 5 can push or pull the baffle 4 to rotate and form a feeding port between the two baffles 4 to allow the workpiece to pass through.

[0068] When the driving device 5 pushes or pulls the baffles 4 to rotate, the gap between the two baffles 4 close to each other changes. The matching structure of the baffles 4 and the driving device 5 can allow all large capacitors 100 located in the feeding tray 2 to enter the slideway body 1 through the discharge opening between the baffles 4 in sequence. Specifically, the size of the discharge opening only allows one large capacitor 100 to pass through.

[0069] The driving device 5 may be a driving cylinder. As an optional embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both baffles 4 are connected to a driving device 5, and the telescopic end of the driving device 5 (driving cylinder) is connected to the side of the baffle 4 away from the workpiece, and one of the telescopic ends of the driving device 5 is in an extended state while the other telescopic end of the driving device 5 is in a retracted state.

[0070] Each of the baffles 4 is connected to a driving cylinder, and the baffles 4 are symmetrically arranged on the feeding tray 2 so that the formed unloading port is located in the middle position of the lower end of the feeding tray 2. The telescopic end of the driving cylinder is connected to the side of the baffle 4 away from the workpiece to prevent the driving cylinder from occupying the space in the feeding tray 2.

[0071] When one of the drive cylinders is in an extended state and the other drive cylinder is in a retracted state, the two drive cylinders always maintain an in-and-out state, so that the large capacitors 100 supported by the two baffles 4 can be evenly fed into the slideway body 1 from the feed opening. Figure 2, when the telescopic end of the driving cylinder connected to the left baffle 4 extends, a blanking port is formed, and the large capacitor 100 supported at the position of the right baffle 4 first enters the blanking port; when the telescopic end of the driving cylinder connected to the right baffle 4 extends, a blanking port is formed, and the large capacitor 100 supported at the position of the left baffle 4 first enters the blanking port; the above two driving cylinders are always in a state of one extending and one contracting, and they alternately move in sequence, so that the large capacitor 100 is evenly conveyed to the slideway body 1.

[0072] As an optional implementation manner, the material taking mechanism further includes: an induction device 6 for sensing whether there is a workpiece at the feeding end of the slideway body 1; a controller, which is connected to the induction device 6 and the driving device 5, and the controller is used to receive the electrical signal of the induction device 6 and control the operation of the driving device 5.

[0073] The above-mentioned induction device 6 can be an optoelectronic sensor, such as a transmissive infrared sensor, etc., which is a mature existing technology and will not be specifically described here. The controller can be a single-chip microcomputer, etc. When the optoelectronic sensor senses the large capacitor 100, it transmits the electrical signal to the controller, and the controller controls the movement of the driving cylinder; on the contrary, when the optoelectronic sensor does not sense the large capacitor 100, the driving cylinder stops moving to prevent the driving cylinder from running all the time when there is no large capacitor 100 being loaded. Specifically, it can be set in the program on the controller that when the optoelectronic sensor senses the large capacitor 100 continuously for two seconds (or other time periods), the driving cylinder starts and pushes the baffle 4, and when the optoelectronic sensor does not sense the large capacitor 100 continuously for two seconds, the driving cylinder stops running.

[0074] For the convenience of loading on the feeding tray 2, as an optional implementation manner, see Figures 7 - 9 As shown, the feeding assembly includes a loading tray 3 located at the feeding end of the feeding tray 2. The loading tray 3 is rotatably arranged and can be rotated from a horizontal state to an inclined state in which the workpiece slides into the feeding tray 2 under the action of gravity.

[0075] See Figure 8 , when the loading tray 3 is in the horizontal state, workpieces such as the large capacitor 100 in the packing box can be poured into the loading tray 3; when the loading tray 3 rotates to the inclined state, see Figure 9 , the supporting surface of the loading tray 3 and the supporting surface of the feeding tray 2 are coplanar, so that the large capacitor 100 in the loading tray 3 slides smoothly into the feeding tray 2.

[0076] As an optional implementation manner, see Figures 7 - 9 As shown, the material taking mechanism includes a support frame 7 located below the feeding assembly and the slideway body 1. The part of the support frame 7 located below the slideway body 1 is inclined and supports the slideway body 1.

[0077] The above-mentioned support frame 7 supports the above-mentioned feeding component and the entire slideway body 1, ensuring the smooth conveyance of the large capacitors 100. It can be made of the third-generation lean pipe, with the advantages of being lightweight, beautiful, easy to assemble, multifunctional, flexible and variable, etc.

[0078] As an alternative implementation, refer to Figures 7 - 8 As shown, the material taking mechanism includes a support frame 7 located below the feeding component and the slideway body 1. The support frame 7 is used for rotatably setting a part of the loading tray 3.

[0079] The above-mentioned loading tray 3 has a horizontal state and an inclined state through the rotatable setting of a part of the support frame 7 located below it. Specifically, refer to Figure 7 、 8 and Figure 9 , the support frame 7 includes a rotating frame 71 located below the loading tray 3. There are a shaft portion 772 and a bushing 771 at the connecting end of the rotating frame 71. The bushing 771 is sleeved on the shaft portion 772 and rotates around the straight line where the shaft portion 772 is located under the action of an external force. During specific operation, the user pours the whole box of large capacitors 100 onto the loading tray 3, lifts the rotating frame 71, and the rotating frame 71 rotates to an inclined state by using the matching structure of the bushing 771 and the shaft portion 772. The large capacitors 100 slide down for conveyance and sequentially enter the feeding tray 2 and the slideway body 1.

[0080] When the material taking mechanism in this embodiment is in use, during loading, the large capacitors 100 in the carton are poured into the loading tray 3 (with the pins facing up for smooth sliding conveyance of the large capacitors 100). After the loading tray 3 is full, lift the rotating frame 71. As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the large capacitors 100 slide to the feeding tray 2, and then drive the cylinder to act, repeatedly push the baffle 4, and the large capacitors 100 gradually enter the slideway body 1.

[0081] The large capacitors 100 enter the slideway body 1 from the feed inlet 111 and gradually enter each section of the track by using gravitational potential energy as the driving force. When the large capacitors 100 enter the track, their state is with the pins facing up. After passing through the rotating guide rail 12, they complete a 180° flip, changing the state of the large capacitors 100 to with the pins facing down, as shown in Figure 4 (at this time, the lower surface of the cylinder of the large capacitor 100 contacts the convex surface of the groove 132 of the discharge guide rail 13, and the pins are suspended 0.5 mm away from the concave surface of the groove 132). The capacitor 100 continues to slide forward. Since the discharge steel plate 131 is 2 mm higher than the concave surface of the groove (as shown in Figure 5 ), when the large capacitor 100 passes through the discharge steel plate 131, the pins contact the discharge steel plate 131, and the whole large capacitor is lifted by 2 mm. The lower surface of the cylinder of the large capacitor is separated from the convex surface of the groove 132 of the discharge guide rail by 1.5 mm, as shown in Figure 6As shown in the figure, make the pin 101 fully contact with the discharge steel plate 131 to achieve the discharge purpose. Finally, the large capacitor 100 slides to the material taking guide rail 14, and the operator can achieve fixed-point material taking from the material taking port 141. When the operator takes the large capacitor, only the small arm needs to be swung and the wrist slightly rotated.
