[0043] It can be understood that the specific working process of the clamping mechanism 22 when installing the capacitor 13 is as follows: when the impregnation cylinder 21 is located at the first workstation 11, one of the clamping members 222 in the clamping mechanism 22 is rotated to the installation position, and when the clamping member 222 is loaded, the rotating frame 221 is rotated by a preset angle to allow the next clamping member 222 adjacent to the clamping member 222 to be rotated to the installation position, and this repetition can realize the loading of all the clamping members 222 on the clamping mechanism 22; an elastic member 223 is arranged between two adjacent clamping members 222, and the elastic member 223 can enable the clamping member 222 to have a clamping force without being subjected to force, so as to clamp the capacitor to prevent the capacitor from falling.

[0044] It can be understood that the impregnation cylinder 21 is provided with a driving component for driving the rotating frame 221 to rotate. The driving component can drive the rotating frame 221 to rotate step by step, so that each clamping member 222 can be rotated to the loading position, so that the clamping member 222 can load / unload materials in sequence.

[0046] The first clamping plate 2221 has a first surface 2226 facing the second clamping plate 2222 , and the second clamping plate 2222 has a second surface 2227 facing the first clamping plate 2221 .

[0048] It can be understood that the first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222 are rotatably arranged on the rotating frame 221. When the first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222 are subjected to the elastic force of the elastic member 223, the first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222 cooperate to clamp the capacitor 13. The first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first connecting portion 2224 of the first clamping plate 2221 and the first connecting portion 2224 of the second clamping plate 2222 are both provided with the first tooth portion 222 9. Similarly, the second connecting portion 2225 of the first clamping plate 2221 and the second connecting portion 2225 of the second clamping plate 2222 are both provided with second teeth 2230; the two teeth on the first clamping plate 2221 are meshed with the two teeth on the second clamping plate 2222, so that when either the first clamping plate 2221 or the second clamping plate 2222 rotates, the other clamping plate can be driven to rotate, so that the openings of the first clamping plate 2221 and the second clamping plate 2222 become larger, so as to facilitate the installation and removal of the capacitor 13.

[0049] It can be understood that the first clamping plate 2221 has a first surface 2226 facing the second clamping plate 2222, and the second clamping plate 2222 has a second surface 2227 facing the first clamping plate 2221.

[0054] See also Figures 12 to 15 , in some embodiments, the driving mechanism 44 includes: a driving member 441, a locking tooth 442, and a chain 443; The driving member 441 is arranged on one side of the cover plate 42 and connected to the cover plate 42.

[0055] As can be understood, the driving mechanism 44 includes: a driving member 441, a locking tooth 442, and a chain 443. Each locking member 43 is provided with a locking tooth 442. Multiple locking teeth 442 are connected together in sequence through the chain 443, and the driving member 441 can drive the chain 443 to rotate; specifically, when it is necessary to lock the cover plate 42 and the immersion cylinder 21, the rotation of the driving member 441 can drive the chain 443 to rotate, and the chain 443 can drive multiple locking teeth 442 to rotate at the same time. When the locking teeth 442 rotate, they can drive the locking member 43 to rotate, so that the locking member 43 is locked with the cover body, thereby achieving the sealing of the cover plate 42 and the immersion cylinder 21; when unlocking is required, the driving member 441 rotates in the opposite direction to the locking to drive the chain 443 to rotate, and then drive the locking member 43 to rotate, so that the locking member 43 and the immersion cylinder 21 can be unlocked.
