Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of supercapacitor production equipment, and in particular to a supercapacitor automatic feeder. Background Art

[0002] Supercapacitor, also known as chemical capacitor, double-layer capacitor, golden capacitor, farad capacitor, is an electrochemical component developed in the 1970s and 1980s that stores energy through polarized electrolytes. It is different from traditional chemical power sources. It is a power source with special properties between traditional capacitors and batteries. It mainly relies on double pads and redox pseudocapacitor charges to store electrical energy. However, no chemical reaction occurs during its energy storage process. This energy storage process is reversible, and it is for this reason that supercapacitors can be repeatedly charged and discharged hundreds of thousands of times. The production of supercapacitors includes manufacturing and testing. After the production is completed, it is necessary to detect the short circuit and open circuit of the circuit, as well as measure its voltage, capacity, internal resistance and other characteristics, and then classify them according to the characteristics of the supercapacitor.

[0003] After the supercapacitor is produced, its characteristics need to be tested. Generally, the supercapacitor is manually clamped on a fixture and transported to charge, and then placed for 8-10 hours to test its characteristics. The fixture in the prior art can only clamp one supercapacitor and can only transport one supercapacitor at a time, which is inefficient. Therefore, the applicant has invented a rack that can clamp multiple supercapacitors at the same time, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rack includes a long strip base and a plurality of clamps for clamping supercapacitors, the plurality of clamps are adjacently fixed on the top wall of the base along the length direction of the base, the bottom wall of the base is provided with a plurality of sockets along its length direction, and the rack can be transported after clamping a plurality of supercapacitors through the cooperation of the driving mechanism and the sockets, so as to achieve the effect of transporting a plurality of supercapacitors at a time, but the applicant believes that it is also necessary to propose a supercapacitor automatic divider to cooperate with the rack. Summary of the invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to propose a supercapacitor automatic material divider, aiming to propose a supercapacitor automatic material divider with high efficiency and suitable for rack transportation, so as to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.

The piston rod of the ninth telescopic cylinder is provided with a driving part. The driving part can push the clamp arm of the clamp on the rack on the second material channel to open so that the clamp releases the pin of the supercapacitor and moves between the position away from the clamp arm through the telescopic action of the piston rod of the ninth telescopic cylinder; the grabbing mechanism includes a second manipulator and a fourth rotating motor arranged above the placement table.

[0031] The technical solution of the present invention sets a loading mechanism, a detection mechanism, a dividing mechanism and a conveying mechanism at the loading end of the rack. When working, the rack full of supercapacitors is first sent to the rack by the loading mechanism, and then the rack on the rack is sent to the detection mechanism and the dividing mechanism in turn by the conveying mechanism.
