Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of supercapacitor detection equipment, and in particular to a supercapacitor automatic stringing machine. Background Art

[0002] Supercapacitors, also known as chemical capacitors, double-layer capacitors, gold capacitors, and farad capacitors, are electrochemical components developed in the 1970s and 1980s that store energy through polarized electrolytes. Unlike traditional chemical power sources, they are a type of power source with special properties that lies between traditional capacitors and batteries. They mainly rely on double pads and redox pseudocapacitive charges to store electrical energy. However, no chemical reaction occurs during the energy storage process, and this energy storage process is reversible. It is precisely because of this that supercapacitors can be repeatedly charged and discharged hundreds of thousands of times. The production of supercapacitors includes manufacturing and testing. After manufacturing, it is necessary to test the short circuit and open circuit of the circuit, as well as measure its voltage, capacity, internal resistance and other characteristics. After that, supercapacitors are classified according to their characteristics.

[0003] In the prior art, a circulating conveyor belt with multiple clamps is generally used as a conveying mechanism. Supercapacitors are clamped one by one on the clamps on the circulating conveyor belt through a loading mechanism. The supercapacitors are transported to the corresponding detection mechanism for relative detection through the cooperation of the circulating conveyor belt and the clamps. After the detection is completed, the supercapacitors are removed, and the empty clamps are circulated back to the front of the loading mechanism to continue clamping the undetected supercapacitors, and the work is repeated in this cycle. During the circuit detection process of the supercapacitor, the supercapacitor needs to be charged a little to assist in the detection. Generally, the pins of the supercapacitor are clamped by a clamp with a clamping arm as a conductive part, and then the supercapacitor is charged by an external charging device through the cooperation of the clamping arm and the pins. Since it is contact charging, the circulating conveyor belt is in a stationary state during the charging process, resulting in limited efficiency and non-smoothness in the loading mechanism clamping the supercapacitor and the circuit detection process. On the other hand, the supercapacitor needs to be charged and discharged after being removed from the clamp to measure its voltage, capacity, internal resistance and other characteristics. Generally, after the circuit detection is completed and the clamp is removed from the clamp, it is clamped on other clamps for charging, and then discharged and detected. The overall detection process requires repeated clamping and removal of the supercapacitor from the clamp, resulting in low overall work efficiency and high production costs.

[0004] like Figure 1As shown, the applicant has invented a rack that can clamp multiple supercapacitors at the same time. The rack includes a long base and multiple clamps for clamping supercapacitors. The multiple clamps are fixed adjacent to each other on the top wall of the base along the length direction of the base. The bottom wall of the base is provided with multiple sockets along its length direction. After the first clamp is clamped with the supercapacitor, the rack can be moved relative to the supercapacitor feeding mechanism along the length direction of the base through the cooperation of the socket and the driving mechanism, so that the subsequent clamps can clamp the supercapacitors one by one. After that, the rack can send multiple supercapacitors for charging and related testing at one time, thereby optimizing the overall work process, improving work efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0005] Since the structure of the rack is not suitable for the above-mentioned chain-type circulating conveying structure, the applicant believes that it is necessary to propose an automatic supercapacitor stringing machine suitable for the rack. Summary of the Invention

[0040] The present invention provides an automatic supercapacitor stringing machine.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the supercapacitor automatic stringing machine includes a rack, a rack loading mechanism, a supercapacitor loading mechanism, and an unloading mechanism. The rack loading mechanism 2 is located at the loading end of the rack 1 and is used to transport a rack 5 that can hold multiple supercapacitors 6 to the clamping area of ​​the rack 1 to wait for the supercapacitors to be clamped. The supercapacitor loading mechanism 3 is located at the loading end of the rack 1 and is used to transport the supercapacitors 6 and clamp the supercapacitors 6 on the rack 5 waiting in the clamping area. The unloading mechanism 4 is located at the unloading end of the rack 1 and is used to remove the rack that is fully clamped with supercapacitors.

[0042] The technical solution of the present invention is respectively provided with a rack loading mechanism and a supercapacitor loading mechanism at the loading end of the rack, and a unloading mechanism is provided at the unloading end of the rack. When working, the rack that can clamp multiple supercapacitors is transported to the clamping area of ​​the rack by the rack loading mechanism to clamp the supercapacitors, and the supercapacitor is transported by the supercapacitor loading mechanism and clamped on the fixture on the rack waiting in the clamping area. After the rack is fully clamped with supercapacitors, it is taken away from the rack by the unloading mechanism and sent to the next process. Compared with the traditional method, the present invention can collect multiple supercapacitors at the same time and then charge and test multiple supercapacitors at the same time, or take the rack from the rack by the unloading mechanism and send it to a receiving vehicle or receiving box that can collect multiple racks, and the receiving vehicle or receiving box uniformly transfers multiple racks to be charged and tested, thereby optimizing the supercapacitor transportation process, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0043] Specifically, the frame 1 is provided with a material channel 11 which is compatible with the rack 5 and allows the rack 5 to move along it. The rack loading mechanism 2 is opposite to the inlet end of the material channel 11 and can feed the racks 5 into the material channel 11 one by one through the inlet end. The unloading mechanism 4 is opposite to the outlet end of the material channel 11 and can take away the racks flowing out of the outlet end.

[0044] It can be understood that when the rack loading mechanism 2 is conveying the rack 5, the new rack can push the rack located in the material channel 11 to move along the material channel 11 during the process of being fed into the material channel 11. After passing through the clamping area to clamp the supercapacitor, it continues to move until it is pushed out of the material channel at the outlet end for collection by the unloading mechanism 4.

[0045] Specifically, the rack loading mechanism 2 has multiple embodiments. In this embodiment, in order to improve the overall smoothness of the rack transportation, the rack loading mechanism 2 includes a first conveyor belt 21, a first material dividing mechanism 22 and a second material dividing mechanism 23. The first conveyor belt 21 is used to longitudinally convey multiple racks 5. The first material dividing mechanism 22 and the second material dividing mechanism 23 are spaced apart at a position between the end of the first conveyor belt 21 and the inlet end of the material channel 11 corresponding to the frame 1. The first material dividing mechanism 22 is used to longitudinally transition the racks 5 on the first conveyor belt 21 from the first conveyor belt 21 to the frame 1 one by one and stay there. The second material dividing mechanism 23 sends the stayed racks into the material channel 11 laterally.

[0046] Specifically, the first material distribution mechanism 22 includes a first telescopic cylinder 221 and a second telescopic cylinder 222. The piston rod of the first telescopic cylinder 221 is provided with a first plug-in 2211 that is compatible with the socket 51 at the bottom of the rack 5. The first plug-in 2211 can move between the position of inserting into the socket 51 and the position of exiting the socket 51 through the telescopic action of the piston rod of the first telescopic cylinder 221. The cylinder body of the first telescopic cylinder 221 is connected to the piston rod of the second telescopic cylinder 222. The first telescopic cylinder 221 can longitudinally transition the racks 5 at the end of the first conveyor belt 21 to the rack one by one through the telescopic action of the piston rod of the second telescopic cylinder 222 and the cooperation of the first plug-in 2211 and the socket 51. 1; the second material distribution mechanism 23 includes a third telescopic cylinder 231 and a fourth telescopic cylinder 232, the piston rod of the third telescopic cylinder 231 is provided with a second plug-in 2311 which is compatible with the socket 51 at the bottom of the rack 5, and the second plug-in 2311 can move between the position of inserting into the socket 51 and exiting the socket 51 by the telescopic action of the piston rod of the third telescopic cylinder 231, the cylinder body of the third telescopic cylinder 231 is connected with the piston rod of the fourth telescopic cylinder 232, and the third telescopic cylinder 231 can deliver the rack stayed on the frame 1 horizontally into the material channel 11 by the telescopic action of the piston rod of the fourth telescopic cylinder 232 and the cooperation of the second plug-in 2311 and the socket 51.

[0047] During operation, multiple racks 5 are placed on the first conveyor belt 21 manually or by a robot. After the racks 5 are longitudinally transported to the end of the first conveyor belt 21, the first material dividing mechanism 22 longitudinally transfers the racks 5 on the first conveyor belt 21 one by one to the position of the entrance of the material channel 11 corresponding to the machine frame 1 and stops. Then, the second material dividing mechanism 23 sends the stopped racks 5 horizontally into the material channel 11. The racks 5 located in the material channel 11 can be pushed by the newly entered racks 5 to continue moving forward along the material channel 11 until they flow out of the material channel 11 and are collected by the unloading mechanism 4.

[0048] Specifically, the material channel is provided with an avoidance position 110 at the position corresponding to the movement trajectory of the first plug-in 2211 and the second plug-in 2311, so that the first plug-in 2211 and the second plug-in 2311 can respectively drive the rack 5 to perform corresponding movements in the corresponding avoidance position 110.

[0049] Specifically, the number of the first material distribution mechanism 22 is at least one, and the number of the first conveyor belt 21 is at least one. In this embodiment, in order to ensure the stability of the rack 5 transitioning from the first conveyor belt 21 to the rack 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 4As shown, there are two first conveyor belts 21, which are longitudinally spaced apart and arranged on the loading end of the frame 1, and the ends are opposite to the inlet end of the material channel 11. There are two first telescopic cylinders 221, which are driven by the second telescopic cylinder 222. The two first telescopic cylinders 221 are horizontally spaced apart and arranged on the frame 1 between the two corresponding first conveyor belts 21 and at the ends.

[0050] Specifically, the supercapacitor feeding mechanism can adopt the vibration plate in the prior art or refer to the following embodiments: the supercapacitor feeding mechanism 3 includes a conveying mechanism 31, a first grasping mechanism 32, a visual inspection mechanism 33, a correction mechanism 34, a second grasping mechanism 35 and a clamping mechanism 36, the conveying mechanism 31 is used to convey the supercapacitor 6; the visual inspection mechanism 33 is used to detect the pin position of the supercapacitor 6; the correction mechanism 34 is used to adjust the pin position of the supercapacitor 6 to the same as the preset one; the second grasping mechanism 35 is used to grasp the pin position of the supercapacitor 6 ... The supercapacitor with its pin position adjusted is moved with its pins facing downwards to be opposite to the rack in the clamping area; the first grasping mechanism 32 is used to grasp the supercapacitors 6 in the conveying mechanism 31 one by one and send them to the visual inspection mechanism 33, the correction mechanism 34 and the second grasping mechanism 35 in sequence so that the visual inspection mechanism, the correction mechanism and the second grasping mechanism can perform corresponding actions; the clamping mechanism 36 is used to drive the clamps on the rack in the clamping area to clamp the pins of the supercapacitors opposite to each other on the rack, thereby clamping the supercapacitors 6 on the rack 5.

[0051] During operation, multiple supercapacitors 6 are placed into the conveying mechanism 31 for conveying and sorting by manual or machine loading, and then the supercapacitors 6 are taken out one by one from the conveying mechanism 31 by the first grasping mechanism 32 and sent to the visual inspection mechanism 33 for inspection to determine whether the pins need to be corrected. When it is determined that correction is required, the first grasping mechanism 32 grasps the supercapacitor and sends it to the correction mechanism 34 for correction. After the correction is completed, the first grasping mechanism 32 sends the supercapacitor 6 to the second grasping mechanism 35 for grasping. The second grasping mechanism 35 grasps the supercapacitor 6 and cooperates with the clamping mechanism 36 to clamp the supercapacitor 6 with the pins facing down to the clamp 53 on the rack 5; when the visual inspection mechanism 33 determines that correction is not required, the correction mechanism 34 does not move.

[0052] Specifically, the conveying mechanism 31 has various embodiments, such as a conveyor belt or a vibrating plate in the prior art, or the following embodiments: the conveying mechanism 31 includes a second conveyor belt 311, and a guide member 312 is provided above the second conveyor belt 311.

[0054] Specifically, a material blocking mechanism is also provided, which includes a material blocking member 314 and a fifth telescopic cylinder 315 provided on the frame 1 corresponding to the end position of the conveying mechanism 31. The material blocking member 314 can move between the positions of blocking and opening the end outlet of the conveying mechanism 31, and the fifth telescopic cylinder 315 is used to drive the material blocking member 314 to perform the movement.

[0055] Specifically, the first grasping mechanism 32 includes a first manipulator 321, a second manipulator 322, a third manipulator 323 and a sixth telescopic cylinder 324. The first manipulator 321 can reciprocate between the position of the frame 1 corresponding to the conveying mechanism 31 and the visual inspection mechanism 33 to grasp the supercapacitor on the conveying mechanism 31 and send it to the visual inspection mechanism 33 for inspection; the second manipulator 322 can reciprocate between the position of the frame 1 corresponding to the visual inspection mechanism 33 and the correction mechanism 34 to grasp the supercapacitor on the visual inspection mechanism 33 and send it to the correction mechanism 34 for correction; the third manipulator 323 can reciprocate between the position of the frame 1 corresponding to the visual inspection mechanism 33 and the correction mechanism 34 to grasp the supercapacitor on the visual inspection mechanism 33 and send it to the correction mechanism 34 for correction; 23 can reciprocate between the position corresponding to the correction mechanism 34 and the second grasping mechanism 35 of the frame 1, and is used to grasp the supercapacitor located on the correction mechanism 34 and send it to the second grasping mechanism 35 for grasping; the piston rod of the sixth telescopic cylinder 324 is provided with a movable seat 325 that can move relative to the frame 1, and the first manipulator 321, the second manipulator 322 and the third manipulator 323 are arranged on the movable seat 325 in sequence. The movable seat 325 can drive the first manipulator 321, the second manipulator 322 and the third manipulator 323 to perform corresponding actions simultaneously through the telescopic action of the piston rod of the sixth telescopic cylinder 324.

[0056] Specifically, the movable seat 324 can drive the first manipulator 321 , the second manipulator 322 and the third manipulator 323 to perform corresponding actions through the cooperation of the slider and the slide rail and the cooperation of the telescopic rod of the sixth telescopic cylinder 324 .

A channel 317 is provided above the vibration belt 316 for a supercapacitor to move along. The front end of the channel 317 is opposite to the end of the second conveyor belt 311, and the end outlet of the channel 317 is opposite to the first manipulator 321. The supercapacitor on the second conveyor belt 311 flows out from the outlet and enters the channel, and is continued to be vibrated and conveyed by the vibration belt 316 to the end outlet of the channel 317 for being grasped by the first manipulator 321.

[0059] Preferably, the material blocking mechanism is provided at a position between the corresponding vibration belt 316 and the first manipulator 321 of the frame 1 to block or open the end outlet of the channel 317, thereby achieving material separation one by one.

[0060] It should be noted that the visual inspection mechanism 33 includes a CCD industrial camera 331 and a detection system (not shown) electrically connected thereto, which belongs to the prior art and its specific structural principle will not be described in detail here.

[0061] Specifically, the correction mechanism 34 includes a fourth manipulator 341 and a first rotating motor 342. The fourth manipulator 341 is arranged above the frame 1, and is used to grab the supercapacitor 6 delivered by the second manipulator 322, and can drive the supercapacitor 6 to perform a vertical pivoting movement to correct the placement position of the pin. The rotating end of the first rotating motor 342 is connected to the fourth manipulator 341, and is used to drive the fourth manipulator 341 to drive the supercapacitor to perform the vertical pivoting movement.

[0062] Specifically, the second grasping mechanism 35 includes a fifth manipulator 351 and a second rotating motor 352.

[0063] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 36 includes a seventh telescopic cylinder 361 provided on the side of the material channel 11 corresponding to the clamping area. The piston rod of the seventh telescopic cylinder 361 is provided with a driving part 362. The driving part 362 can move between the positions of pushing the clamping arm of the clamp 53 on the rack 5 to open to release the pins of the supercapacitor and moving away from the clamping arm to close the clamping arm to clamp the pins through the telescopic action of the piston rod of the seventh telescopic cylinder 361. After the clamp 53 clamps the supercapacitor, the fifth manipulator 351 swings back to continue grabbing the calibrated supercapacitor. At the same time, the second material distribution mechanism 22 cooperates with the socket 52 to drive the rack 5 to move a certain distance along the material channel 11. The rack 5 located at the position of the clamping area corresponding to the material channel 11 moves forward a certain distance after being forced, so that the clamp clamped with the supercapacitor leaves the clamping area, and the empty clamp enters the clamping area. Similarly, when all the clamps 53 on the rack 5 are clamped with supercapacitors 6, the rack 5 continues to move along the material channel 11 until it detaches from the material channel 11 and is collected by the unloading mechanism 4.

[0064] Specifically, the unloading mechanism 4 includes a first support plate 41, a sixth manipulator 42, an eighth telescopic cylinder 43 and a third rotating motor 44. The first support plate 41 is provided with a plurality of first clamping positions 411 suitable for the rack 5 at intervals. The sixth manipulator 42 is mounted on the position of the frame 1 corresponding to the outlet end of the material channel 11, and can move between the downward position of grabbing the rack 5 and the upward position of driving the rack 5 away from the outlet end of the material channel 11. The eighth telescopic cylinder 43 is used to drive the sixth manipulator 42 to perform the movement. The third rotating motor 44 can drive the eighth telescopic cylinder 43 through the first screw structure to drive the sixth manipulator 42 to move between grabbing the rack 5 and the position opposite to the first clamping position 411, so that the sixth manipulator 42 can place the grabbed rack 5 into the first clamping position 411 by cooperating with the eighth telescopic cylinder 43.

[0065] Specifically, it also includes a pushing mechanism 45 and a material cart 46. The pushing mechanism 45 is used to push the racks located at the first clamping position 411 into the material cart 46. The material cart 46 can send all the collected racks to other related production processes.

[0066] Specifically, the material cart 46 includes a frame 461 and a second support plate 462 arranged on the frame 461 and horizontally opposite to the first support plate 41. The second support plate 462 is provided with a second clamping position 463 corresponding to the position of the first clamping position 411. The pushing mechanism 45 can push the rack located in the first clamping position 411 into the second clamping position 463.

[0067] Specifically, the pushing mechanism 45 includes a pushing piece 451 and a fourth rotating motor 452. The pushing piece 451 is movably arranged at a position of the first support plate 41 corresponding to the first clamping position 411 at one end away from the material cart 46, and can push the rack 5 located in the first clamping position 411 into the second clamping position 463 and move between a position away from the second clamping position 463. The fourth rotating motor 452 can drive the pushing piece 451 to perform the movement through a second screw structure.

[0068] Specifically, the pushing piece 451 can be a vertically arranged long strip, or it can be a plurality of clamps or grippers fixedly arranged on the bottom plate. The clamps or grippers are opposite to the position of the first clamping position 411. When pushing the material, the corresponding rack can be grasped by the clamp or gripper first, and then the fourth rotating motor 452 can be used to drive the clamp or gripper to push the rack into the second clamping position 463.

[0069] Specifically, the frame 461 is provided with a plurality of second support plates 462 at vertical intervals. The unloading mechanism 4 further includes a fifth rotary motor 47, which, via a third screw structure, drives the first support plates 462 to perform vertical reciprocating motion relative to the trolley 46. This allows the first latching positions 411 to be aligned with the second latching positions 462 at different heights, thereby enabling the pushing mechanism to push the racks on the first support plates 41 into the corresponding second latching positions 463 of the second support plates 462 at different heights.

[0070] Specifically, the rack 1 is further provided with a circuit detection mechanism, which is located in the area between the corresponding clamping area on one side of the material channel 11 and the outlet end of the material channel, and is used to perform circuit detection on the supercapacitor 6 clamped on the rack 5.

[0071] It should be noted that the circuit detection mechanism can detect short circuits and open circuits in the supercapacitors 6 before the supercapacitors 6 are clamped to the racks, before the racks 5 are stored in the feed cart 46, or after the racks 5 are stored in the feed cart 6. In this embodiment, the circuit detection mechanism performs circuit detection on the supercapacitors 6 after the supercapacitors 6 are clamped to the racks 5 and before they are stored in the feed cart 46. Since the principle and structure of the circuit detection mechanism are related to the prior art, its specific structural principle will not be described in detail here.

[0072] Specifically, the circuit detection mechanism is further provided with a seventh manipulator 71, which can cooperate with the clamping mechanism to remove the supercapacitors that fail the circuit detection from the rack.

[0073] Specifically, it also includes a control system (not shown), which is electrically connected to the rack loading mechanism (2), the supercapacitor loading mechanism (3), the circuit detection mechanism and the unloading mechanism (4), and is used to control the rack loading mechanism (2), the supercapacitor loading mechanism (3), the circuit detection mechanism and the unloading mechanism (4) to perform corresponding actions respectively.

[0074] It should be noted that the control system (not shown) belongs to the prior art, and its specific structural principle will not be described in detail here.

[0075] It should be noted that the first manipulator 321, the second manipulator 322, the third manipulator 323, the fourth manipulator 341, the fifth manipulator 351, the sixth manipulator 42 and the seventh manipulator 71 can refer to the grippers or clamps in the prior art, and their specific structural principles will not be repeated here.

[0076] Similarly, the first screw structure (not shown), the second screw structure (not shown) and the third screw mechanism (not shown) belong to the prior art, and their specific structural principles are not described in detail here.

[0077] It should be noted that in the above-mentioned embodiments, some mechanisms require auxiliary installation through a number of support frames during installation, which is a common existing technology and its specific structural principles will not be described in detail here.

[0078] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention description and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
