[0002] Before piercing and riveting the electrodes on the capacitor core, the core needs initial positioning correction, adjusting the positions of the two electrodes on the core, generally until the electrode surfaces are parallel to the ground. Patent No. 202220724351.7 discloses a battery pin polarity adjustment device for a capacitor welding machine, including a transport assembly, a polarity detection mechanism, a polarity reversal mechanism, and a controller. The polarity detection mechanism and the polarity reversal mechanism are sequentially arranged on the transport path of the transport assembly. The transport assembly transports the capacitor battery and stops it sequentially at the polarity detection mechanism and the polarity reversal mechanism. The polarity detection mechanism is used to detect the capacitor polarity, and the polarity reversal mechanism is used to flip capacitors with opposite polarities. This battery pin polarity adjustment device simply flips and interchanges the positions of the two pins, making it difficult to meet the needs of various processes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a core-packaging transfer device, which solves the problem that the battery pin polarity adjustment device in existing capacitor battery welding machines simply flips and interchanges the positions of two pins, making it difficult to meet the needs of various processes.

[0004] The core package transfer device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0005] A transfer assembly is provided with multiple placement seats, and a support assembly and a transmission assembly are provided on the placement seats. The transmission assembly is connected to the support assembly, the support assembly is used to support the core package, and the transfer assembly is used to drive the core package located on the placement seat to move.

[0006] The first drive component is located below the transfer component.

[0007] A detection component is disposed above the transfer component. The detection component is configured correspondingly to the first drive component. The detection component is used to detect whether the electrode position of the core package has been adjusted to a preset position.

[0008] When one of the placement seats of the transfer assembly moves above the first drive assembly, the detection assembly is located above the electrode of the core package. The first drive assembly is disengaged and connected to the transmission assembly. The first drive assembly drives the support assembly to rotate through the transmission assembly, thereby rotating the core package located on the support assembly to adjust the electrode of the core package to a preset position.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a core package transfer device includes a transfer assembly 100, a first drive assembly 200, and a detection assembly 300. The transfer assembly 100 is provided with a plurality of placement seats 110, and each placement seat 110 is provided with a support assembly 120 and a transmission assembly 130. The transmission assembly 130 is connected to the support assembly 120, which supports the core package. The transfer assembly 100 is used to move the core package located on the placement seat 110. The first drive assembly 200 is located below the transfer assembly 100, and the detection assembly 300 is located above the transfer assembly 100. The detection assembly 300 is correspondingly arranged with the first drive assembly 200 and is used to detect whether the electrode position of the core package has been adjusted to a preset position. When one placement seat 110 of the transfer assembly 100 moves above the first drive assembly 200, the detection assembly 300 is located above the electrode of the core package, and the first drive assembly 200 can be separately contacted and connected to the transmission assembly 130. The first drive assembly 200 drives the support assembly 120 to rotate via the transmission assembly 130, thereby causing the core package located on the support assembly 120 to rotate, and adjusting the electrode of the core package to a preset position.

[0048] By providing multiple placement seats 110 on the transfer assembly 100, the transfer assembly 100 can transport multiple core packages. A detection assembly 300 is provided to facilitate detection of whether the electrode positions of the core package have been adjusted to preset positions. The first drive assembly 200 and the transmission assembly 130 are separately connected, allowing the drive assembly to be independently configured. Each drive assembly can correspond to the transmission assembly 130 on the multiple placement seats 110 on the transfer assembly 100, eliminating the need for a separate drive assembly for each placement seat 110, thus saving costs. When the transfer assembly 100 transports the core package to below the first drive assembly 200, the first drive assembly 200 can contact and connect to the transmission assembly 130. The first drive assembly 200 drives the transmission assembly 130 to rotate, which in turn drives the support assembly 120 to rotate, thereby causing the core package located on the support assembly 120 to rotate, so that the electrode on the core package reaches the preset position (generally, the electrode surface of the core package is parallel to the ground). After the electrode of the core package is adjusted to the correct position, the first drive component 200 moves away from the transmission component 130, and the transmission component 130 and the support component 120 stop rotating. The position of the electrode of the core package remains at the preset position, so that the core package after being adjusted is convenient for subsequent processing, thereby improving the efficiency of subsequent processes.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The placement seat 110 is provided with two support holes 111, and the support assembly 120 includes two support rods 121. The two support rods 121 are rotatably inserted through the corresponding two support holes 111, and the two support rods 121 are supported on both sides below the core package.

[0050] The two support holes 111 are parallel in axis and located on the same horizontal plane. The two support rods 121 can support the core package. The rotation of the support rods 121 can drive the core package to rotate, thereby adjusting the electrode plates on the core package to a preset position. The preset position is generally such that the electrode plates of the core package are parallel to the ground, which facilitates subsequent drilling and riveting operations.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The placement seat 110 is provided with a transmission hole 112. The transmission assembly 130 includes a transmission rod 131, a drive wheel 132, a belt 133 and two driven wheels 134. The transmission rod 131 is rotatably inserted through the transmission hole 112. The two driven wheels 134 are connected to one end of two support rods 121. The belt 133 is sleeved on the drive wheel 132 and the two driven wheels 134. The first drive assembly 200 can be separately contacted and connected to the transmission rod 131.

[0052] The axis of the transmission hole 112 is parallel to the ground, and the transmission hole 112 is located below the support hole 111. The first drive assembly 200 drives the transmission rod 131 to rotate, which in turn drives the belt 133 to rotate, which in turn drives the two support rods 121 to rotate, which in turn drives the core package located on the two support rods 121 to rotate, thereby adjusting the electrode on the core package to a preset position.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The transmission rod 131 has a first friction wheel 135 at one end, and the first drive assembly 200 includes a second friction wheel 210, which is detachably connected to the first friction wheel 135. The friction transmission between the first friction wheel 135 and the second friction wheel 210 is simple in structure and convenient to use and maintain. It produces low noise during transmission and allows for speed and direction changes during operation.

[0054] The first drive assembly 200 includes a first motor 220 and a drive pulley 230. The output end of the first motor 220 is connected to the drive pulley 230, and the drive pulley 230 is connected to the second friction wheel 210. When the first motor 220 rotates, it drives the drive pulley 230 to rotate, which in turn drives the second friction wheel 210 to rotate.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The transmission assembly 130 also includes a tensioning wheel 136. A limiting groove 113 is provided on the placement seat 110, and a limiting block 137 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 113. A threaded hole is provided on the bottom wall of the limiting groove 113, and an elongated slot 1371 is provided on the limiting block 137 at the position corresponding to the threaded hole. The tensioning wheel 136 is rotatably connected to the limiting block 137, and the tensioning wheel 136 abuts against the belt 133.

[0056] The length direction of the long slot 1371 is consistent with the length direction of the limiting groove 113. The screw passes through the long slot 1371 and is tightened into the threaded hole, fixing the limiting block 137 in the limiting groove 113. By adjusting the position of the screw in the long slot 1371, the position of the limiting block 137 in the slide groove 6211 is adjusted, so that the tensioning wheel 136 abuts against the belt 133 with a greater degree of bending, thereby allowing the tensioning wheel 136 to tighten the belt 133.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The core package transfer device also includes a second drive assembly 400, which is connected to the first drive assembly 200. The second drive assembly 400 is used to drive the first drive assembly 200 to contact or move away from the transmission assembly 130.

[0058] The second drive assembly 400 drives the first drive assembly 200 to rise and fall, enabling the first drive assembly 200 to be separably connected to the transmission assembly 130. When the second drive assembly 400 raises the first drive assembly 200 to contact and connect with the transmission assembly 130, the first drive assembly 200 can drive the transmission assembly 130 to rotate, which in turn drives the support assembly 120 to rotate, thereby causing the core package located on the support assembly 120 to rotate, adjusting the electrode of the core package to a preset position. When the second drive assembly 400 lowers the first drive assembly 200 away from the transmission assembly 130, the transmission assembly 130 and the support assembly 120 stop rotating, and the position of the electrode of the core package remains at the preset position.

[0059] The second drive assembly 400 may include a second motor, a first cam, and a first connecting rod 410. The output end of the second motor is connected to the first cam. One end of the first connecting rod 410 is hinged to the eccentric position of the first cam, and the other end of the first connecting rod 410 is hinged to the first drive assembly 200. When the second motor rotates, it drives the first cam to rotate, which in turn drives the first drive assembly 200 to move up and down via the first connecting rod 410.

[0060] The second drive assembly 400 may also include a lifting cylinder, the output end of which is connected to the first drive assembly 200, driving the first drive assembly 200 to move up and down.

[0061] The first drive assembly 200 is connected to a sliding assembly 240, which includes a slider 242 and a slide rail 241. The first drive assembly 200 is connected to the slide rail 241, and the slider 242 is slidably connected to the slide rail 241. The guide of the slide rail 241 is in the vertical direction. The slider 242 is connected to a worktable, which is used to support the placement seat 110 and the second drive assembly 400.

[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The placement seat 110 is also provided with a clamping assembly 140, which is used to clamp the core package onto the support assembly 120. The clamping assembly 140 is in contact with the second drive assembly 400, which is used to lift the clamping assembly 140 to release the core package.

[0063] By setting the clamping component 140, the core package can be stably clamped onto the support component 120, preventing it from falling off. When the electrode position of the core package needs to be adjusted, the second drive component 400 lifts the clamping component 140, allowing the core package to rotate smoothly with the support component 120. After the electrode position on the core package is adjusted to the correct position, the second drive component 400 releases the clamping component 140, which then clamps the core package onto the support component 120, preventing the core package from continuing to rotate due to inertia and failing to reach the preset position.

[0064] The placement base 110 is provided with a clamping guide hole 114. The clamping assembly 140 includes a clamping rod 141, a clamping guide rod 142, and a clamping spring 143. The clamping guide rod 142 slides through the clamping guide hole 114. The clamping rod 141 is connected to one end of the clamping guide rod 142. The clamping rod 141 is located above the support assembly 120. One end of the clamping spring 143 abuts against the placement base 110, and the other end fixes the other end of the clamping guide rod 142.

[0065] The axial direction of the clamping guide hole 114 is vertical. The upper end of the clamping spring 143 abuts against the lower end of the placement seat 110, and the lower end of the clamping spring 143 is connected to the lower end of the clamping guide rod 142. The clamping spring 143 pushes the clamping guide rod 142 downward, thereby driving the clamping rod 141 to clamp the core package.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The placement base 110 is also provided with a stop guide hole 115 and a stop assembly 150. The stop assembly 150 includes a stop wheel 151, a pressure block 152, a stop guide rod 153, and a stop spring 154. The stop wheel 151 is located at one end of the transmission rod 131, the pressure block 152 is located above the stop wheel 151, and the pressure block 152 is connected to the upper end of the stop guide rod 153. The stop guide rod 153 slides through the stop guide hole 115, and one end of the stop spring 154 abuts against the placement base 110, while the other end is fixedly connected to the lower end of the stop guide rod 153. The stop assembly 150 is in contact with a second drive assembly 400, which is used to lift the stop guide rod 153 to release the pressure block 152 from the stop wheel 151.

[0067] When the electrode position of the core package needs to be adjusted, the second drive assembly 400 lifts the stop assembly 150, allowing the first drive assembly 200 to smoothly drive the transmission assembly 130 to rotate, so that the core package can smoothly follow the rotation of the support assembly 120. After the electrode position on the core package is adjusted to the correct position, the second drive assembly 400 releases the stop assembly 150, which presses the transmission rod 131 to a stop, causing the transmission rod 131 to stop rotating, thereby stopping the rotation of the support assembly 120 and ensuring that the electrode of the core package on the support assembly 120 remains in the preset position.

[0068] The axial direction of the stop guide hole 115 is vertical. The upper end of the stop spring 154 abuts against the lower end of the placement seat 110, and the lower end of the stop spring 154 is connected to the lower end of the stop guide rod 153. The stop spring 154 pushes the stop guide rod 153 downward, thereby causing the pressure block 152 to press against the stop wheel 151, and thus stopping the transmission rod 131.

[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The transfer assembly 100 includes a transfer disk 170 and a rotator 160 connected to each other. The rotator 160 drives the transfer disk 170 to rotate. Multiple placement seats 110 are spaced apart circumferentially along the edge of the transfer disk 170. The detection assembly 300 includes a sensor 310 and a CCD camera 320 sequentially arranged along the transport path of the transfer assembly 100. Two first drive assemblies 200 are provided, located along the transport path of the transfer assembly 100, and corresponding to the sensor 310 and the CCD camera 320.

[0070] Sensor 310 includes a photoelectric sensor 310, which senses whether the electrode position of the core package is at a preset position. The detection speed is fast, and sensor 310 is mainly used for preliminary detection. CCD camera 320 captures images to detect whether the electrode position of the core package is at the preset position. The detection speed is fast and the detection accuracy is higher.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The core package transfer device also includes a core package feeding assembly 500, which is used for feeding core packages. The core package feeding assembly 500 includes a feeding seat 510, a feeding drive assembly 520, a feeding tray 530, a diverting rod 540, a baffle 550, and a feeding transmission belt assembly.

[0072] The feed seat 510 is used to hold the core package and is equipped with a protective cover 570. The feed seat 510 has a receiving groove 511 with an arc-shaped inner wall at one end. A discharge notch 512 is located near the arc-shaped inner wall of the feed seat 510 and communicates with the receiving groove 511. A feed tray 530 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 511 near the arc-shaped inner wall. A feed drive assembly 520 is connected to the feed tray 530 and drives the feed tray 530 to rotate.

[0073] The feeding drive assembly 520 includes a feeding drive motor, which drives the feeding disc 530 to rotate, thereby rotating the core package located on the feeding disc 530. Through centrifugal force, the core package is discharged from the discharge notch 512.

[0074] The baffle 550 is fixedly connected to the feed seat 510 and located above the feed tray 530. The baffle 550 extends along the middle of the feed tray 530 toward the inner wall of the receiving groove 511. The baffle 550 can partially cover the core package, making it easier for the core package to be transported by the feed tray 530 to the discharge notch 512.

[0075] The diverting rod 540 is arc-shaped, with one end close to the discharge notch 512. The diverting rod 540 is spaced apart from the arc-shaped inner wall, and the gap between the diverting rod 540 and the arc-shaped inner wall is used for the core package after diversion to pass through. The feed conveyor belt assembly is located outside the discharge notch 512.

[0076] The core pack in the receiving groove 511 moves to the feed tray 530. The feed tray 530 rotates, and due to centrifugal force, the core pack moves toward the arc-shaped inner wall of the receiving groove 511. Due to the limitation of the diverting rod 540, the core pack can move along the gap between the arc-shaped inner wall and the diverting rod 540, and then be transported to the discharge notch 512.

[0077] The feeding conveyor belt assembly 560 includes a discharging motor 561, a discharging pulley 562, two discharging conveyor wheels, and a discharging conveyor belt 563. The discharging conveyor belt is fitted onto the two discharging conveyor wheels. The discharging motor 561 drives one of the discharging conveyor wheels to rotate via the discharging pulley 562, which in turn drives the discharging conveyor belt to rotate, thereby moving the core package at the discharging notch 512 from one end of the discharging conveyor belt to the other end.

[0078] Two sidewalls 564 are provided above the discharge conveyor belt 563. The two sidewalls 564 are used to restrict the movement of the core package on the discharge conveyor belt 563.

[0079] A position sensor 565 is provided at the end of the discharge conveyor belt away from the discharge notch 512. The position sensor 565 is used to send a signal when the core package appears at the end of the discharge conveyor belt away from the discharge notch 512.

[0080] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The core package transfer device also includes a defective product discharge assembly 600, which includes a defective product box 610, a gripper assembly 620, a fixed arm 630, an upper swing arm 640, a third drive assembly 650, a rotating shaft 660, a first synchronous pulley 641, a second synchronous pulley 661, and a synchronous belt 642. The fixed arm 630 is fixedly connected to the defective product box 610, and the lower end of the upper swing arm 640 is hinged to the fixed arm 630. The first synchronous pulley 641 is fixedly connected to the fixed arm 630. The upper end of the upper swing arm 640 is provided with a rotating hole, and the rotating shaft 660 rotatably passes through the rotating hole. One end of the rotating shaft 660 is connected to the gripper assembly 620, and the other end is connected to the second synchronous pulley 661. The timing belt 642 is fitted onto the first timing pulley 641 and the second timing pulley 661. The third drive assembly 650 is connected to the upper swing arm 640. The third drive assembly 650 is used to drive the upper swing arm 640 to rotate around the hinge between the upper swing arm 640 and the fixed arm 630 so as to drive the gripper assembly 620 to move.

[0081] The third drive assembly 650 may include a third motor, a second cam, and a second connecting rod 651. The output end of the third motor is connected to the second cam. One end of the second connecting rod 651 is hinged to the eccentric position of the second cam, and the other end is hinged to the upper swing arm 640. When the second motor rotates, it drives the second cam to rotate, which in turn drives the upper swing arm 640 to swing left and right via the second connecting rod 651. This, in turn, moves the gripper assembly 620 above the upper swing arm 640 to a position close to the transfer assembly 100, facilitating the gripper assembly 620 to pick up defective core packages from the transfer assembly 100.

[0082] By configuring a first synchronous pulley 641, a second synchronous pulley 661, and a synchronous belt 642, with the first synchronous pulley 641 fixedly connected to the fixed arm 630, when the upper swing arm 640 rotates around the hinge point between the upper swing arm 640 and the fixed arm 630, the first synchronous pulley 641 remains stationary, while the second synchronous pulley 661 is connected via the synchronous belt 642, ensuring the axial stability of the second synchronous pulley 661. This, in turn, ensures the axial stability of the rotating shaft 660, and ensures that the gripper assembly 620 is stably connected to the upper swing arm 640, ensuring the smooth operation of the gripper assembly 620 when the upper swing arm 640 swings left and right.

[0083] The gripper assembly 620 is located above the defective product box 610 and is used to grip the core package on the transfer assembly 100 and transfer it to the defective product box 610. The gripper assembly 620 includes a limiting seat 621, a cover plate 622, two racks 623, a transmission gear 624, two grippers 625, and a push cylinder 626. The limiting seat 621 has a sliding groove 6211, the cover plate 622 covers the sliding groove 6211, and the transmission gear 624 is rotatably connected within the sliding groove 6211. One end of each rack 623 extends into the sliding groove 6211, and the other end of each rack 623 is connected to one of the grippers 625. The two racks 623 mesh with opposite sides of the transmission gear 624, and the push cylinder 626 is connected to one gripper 625.

[0084] The push cylinder 626 pushes one gripper 625 away from the other gripper 625. The gripper 625 pulls the rack 623 out of the slide groove 6211, driving the transmission gear 624 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the other rack 623 to move out of the slide groove 6211, which in turn drives the other gripper 625 to move away from the push cylinder 626. This allows the push cylinder 626 to drive the two grippers 625 to move towards each other, facilitating the gripping of defective core packages on the transfer assembly 100. The push cylinder 626 can also drive the two grippers 625 to move away from each other, facilitating the opening of the grippers 625 to release the defective core packages into the defective product box 610.

[0085] In some embodiments, a first liquid receiving box 116 is provided on the placement base 110, located below the support assembly 120, and is used to collect electrolyte that falls from the core package. A liquid receiving ring 531 is provided below the feed tray 530, and a liquid receiving groove 5311 is provided on the liquid receiving ring 531. A second liquid receiving box 532 is provided below the discharge notch 512.

[0086] In some embodiments, the core package transfer device further includes a core package transfer assembly for transporting core packages on the core package feeding assembly 500 to the transfer assembly 100. The core package transfer assembly includes a robotic arm.

[0087] The working principle of the core package transfer device of the present invention:

[0088] Core pack feeding: The operator feeds the core pack into the receiving slot 511 of the feeding seat 510. The core pack moves to the feeding tray 530, and the feeding drive motor drives the feeding tray 530 to rotate, causing the core packs on the feeding tray 530 to rotate. Through centrifugal force, the core packs are discharged from the discharge notch 512. Some core packs move along the gap between the arc-shaped inner wall and the diverter 540, and are then transported to the discharge notch 512. The discharge motor 561 drives a discharge conveyor wheel to rotate through the discharge pulley 562, which drives the discharge conveyor belt to rotate, thereby moving the core packs at the discharge notch 512 from one end of the discharge conveyor belt to the other end. The position sensor 565 is used to sense when the core pack appears at the end of the discharge conveyor belt away from the discharge notch 512 and sends a signal. The core pack transfer assembly transfers the core packs on the discharge conveyor belt to the placement seat 110 of the transfer assembly 100.

[0089] Sensor 310 initial adjustment: The transfer component 100 drives the placement seat 110 to rotate below the sensor 310. The sensor 310 detects that the initial position of the electrode of the core package is not in the preset position. The second drive component 400 drives the first drive component 200 to rise and contact the transmission component 130. The second friction wheel 210 contacts the first friction wheel 135. The second drive component 400 lifts the pressing component 140 and the stop component 150. The first drive component 200 drives the second friction wheel 210 to rotate, drives the first friction wheel 135 to rotate, drives the transmission rod 131 to rotate, drives the belt 133 to rotate, drives the two support rods 121 to rotate, and drives the core package to rotate. Sensor 310 detects that the electrode of the core package has reached the preset position. The second drive assembly 400 drives the first drive assembly 200 to descend. The second friction wheel 210 moves away from the first friction wheel 135. The second drive assembly 400 releases the clamping assembly 140 and the stop assembly 150. The stop spring 154 pushes the stop guide rod 153 to move downward, thereby driving the pressure block 152 to press the stop wheel 151, thereby stopping the transmission rod 131, thereby stopping the support assembly 120 from rotating. The clamping spring 143 pushes the clamping guide rod 142 to move downward, thereby driving the clamping rod 141 to press the core package.

[0090] CCD camera 320 precise adjustment: The transfer component 100 drives the placement seat 110 to rotate below the CCD camera 320. The CCD camera 320 detects that the initial position of the electrode of the core package is not in the preset position. The second drive component 400 drives the first drive component 200 to rise and contact the transmission component 130. The second friction wheel 210 contacts the first friction wheel 135. The second drive component 400 lifts the pressing component 140 and the stop component 150. The first drive component 200 drives the second friction wheel 210 to rotate, drives the first friction wheel 135 to rotate, drives the transmission rod 131 to rotate, drives the belt 133 to rotate, drives the two support rods 121 to rotate, and drives the core package to rotate. The CCD camera 320 detects that the electrode of the core package has reached the preset position. The second drive component 400 drives the first drive component 200 to descend. The second friction wheel 210 moves away from the first friction wheel 135. The second drive component 400 releases the clamping component 140 and the stop component 150. The stop spring 154 pushes the stop guide rod 153 to move downward, thereby driving the pressure block 152 to press the stop wheel 151, thereby stopping the transmission rod 131, thereby stopping the support component 120 from rotating. The clamping spring 143 pushes the clamping guide rod 142 to move downward, thereby driving the clamping rod 141 to press the core package.

[0091] Defective Product Discharge: When the CCD camera 320 detects that the electrode in the core package is defective, such as a broken electrode, a missing electrode, or a forked electrode, the transfer component 100 moves the placement seat 110 containing the defective core package to a position close to the defective product discharge component 600. The third drive component 650 drives the upper swing arm 640 to swing towards the transfer component 100, which in turn drives the gripper component 620 to approach the placement seat 110 on the transfer component 100. The gripper component 620 picks up the defective core package from the placement seat 110. The third drive component 650 drives the upper swing arm 640 to reset, and the gripper component 620 releases the defective core package, which falls into the defective product box 610.
