Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hot pressing molding machines, and more particularly to a soft capacitor hot pressing shaping and aging test machine. Background Technology

[0002] Thin-film capacitors are capacitors that use plastic film as the dielectric and typically metal foil as the electrodes. Their basic structure involves overlapping metal foil with plastic films such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, or polycarbonate at both ends and then winding them into a cylindrical shape. Depending on the type of plastic film used, film capacitors can be classified as polyethylene capacitors, polypropylene capacitors, polystyrene capacitors, and polycarbonate capacitors. After manufacturing, the capacitors need to be mounted on a circuit board. Since vertically mounted capacitors occupy a significant amount of space, and with the increasing miniaturization of electronic devices due to the application of precision electronics, capacitors in multi-layer circuit boards need to be flattened and shaped before mounting to reduce space requirements. After soldering the capacitors to the circuit board, they need to be flattened and adhered to the board to further reduce space usage. Traditionally, capacitors are flattened and shaped manually. This manual method results in inconsistent thickness during flattening, poor flattening quality, low efficiency, and high labor costs. Later, some semi-automatic thermoforming machines appeared on the market. These machines required manual placement of individual capacitors onto heated flattening jigs before the machine was started to thermoform them. While this achieved automatic thermoforming of individual capacitors, capacitors formed using this method often experienced localized melting due to uneven heating, resulting in localized voltage leakage and rendering them defective products (i.e., high defect rate). This method also suffered from low efficiency and high cost. Furthermore, current semi-automatic thermoforming machines can only thermoform capacitors; they cannot perform batch leveling, arrangement, pin orientation adjustment, batch thermoforming, or batch unloading of the capacitors being transported. This results in limited functionality, poor operational flexibility, and significant limitations in application.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an automated batch feeding, batch hot pressing and shaping, and batch unloading flexible capacitor hot pressing and aging test machine. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a flexible capacitor hot-pressing shaping and aging test machine.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: the flexible capacitor hot pressing shaping aging test machine includes a flip conveyor table and a test table arranged adjacent to each other. The flip conveyor table and the test table are equipped with a clamping conveyor frame. It also includes a first linear sliding module and a second linear sliding module arranged in parallel. The first linear sliding module and the second linear sliding module are respectively arranged on the flip conveyor table.

[0006] The first storage mechanism, located on the first linear sliding module and the second linear sliding module, is used for aligning and storing capacitors.

[0007] The first feeding mechanism is connected to the first storage mechanism and is used to supply power to the first storage mechanism.

[0008] The second storage mechanism is located on the first linear sliding module and the second linear sliding module and is arranged in parallel with the first storage mechanism. It is used to arrange and store capacitors.

[0009] The second feeding mechanism is connected to the second storage mechanism and is used to supply power to the second storage mechanism.

[0010] A flipping mechanism is located above the first storage mechanism and the second storage mechanism. It sequentially picks up the entire row of capacitors from the first storage mechanism and the second storage mechanism and flips the entire row of capacitors.

[0011] The hot-pressing and shaping mechanism, located on the testing machine, is used to hot-press and shape capacitors.

[0012] A clamping and conveying mechanism, located above the hot pressing and shaping mechanism, is used to convey capacitors.

[0013] The feeding trough, located on the testing machine, is used for feeding and recycling capacitors.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the first feeding mechanism and the second feeding mechanism respectively supply capacitors in batches to the first storage mechanism and the second storage mechanism. The first storage mechanism and the second storage mechanism respectively receive, arrange, and store capacitors in batches, with the capacitor pins facing down and arranged in batches on the first storage mechanism and the second storage mechanism. The flipping mechanism sequentially picks up the entire row of capacitors from the first storage mechanism and the second storage mechanism in batches and flips them. After flipping, the capacitors are positioned on the flipping mechanism with their pins facing up. The picking and conveying mechanism takes the entire row of capacitors from the flipping mechanism and places them on the hot pressing and shaping mechanism. The hot pressing and shaping mechanism performs batch hot pressing and shaping on the capacitors. After the hot pressing and shaping mechanism completes the hot pressing and shaping of the capacitors, the picking and conveying mechanism... The feeding mechanism picks up the shaped capacitors in batches from the hot pressing and shaping mechanism and conveys them to the unloading trough for unloading and recycling. It automatically completes a series of operations such as batch feeding, storage, flipping, conveying, hot pressing and shaping, and unloading of capacitors. It also ensures that the thickness of the hot-pressed capacitors is consistent and has the advantages of good shaping effect, high shaping efficiency, and low cost. This solves the problems of low hot pressing efficiency, high cost, single function, poor operation flexibility, and large application limitations of the semi-automatic hot pressing forming machine on the market, which is unable to perform batch leveling, arrangement, batch pin orientation adjustment, batch hot pressing and shaping, and batch unloading of the conveyed capacitors. The capacitors formed by it often suffer from local heat melting.

[0015] Preferably, the first storage mechanism includes a storage conveying section and a capacitor aligning section arranged opposite to each other. The storage conveying section and the capacitor aligning section are transversely arranged across the first linear sliding module and the second linear sliding module. A capacitor storage section for storing capacitors is provided between the storage conveying section and the capacitor aligning section. A leveling component for flattening the capacitors is provided on one side of one end of the capacitor storage section. A first photoelectric sensor for detecting whether the capacitors have been conveyed to the correct position is provided on the outer side of the other end of the capacitor storage section. The first photoelectric sensor is fixed on the flip conveyor table by a sensor mounting bracket. The capacitor storage section and the leveling component are both located on the flip conveyor table. The leveling component includes a leveling bracket, a first driving device located on one side of the upper end of the leveling bracket, and a leveling plate horizontally mounted on the output end of the first driving device. The first driving device is mounted on the upper end of the leveling bracket by a leveling plate height adjustment seat.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the height of the platen height adjustment seat on the leveling bracket can be adjusted to adjust the height of the platen relative to the capacitors on the capacitor storage section. The first feeding mechanism supplies capacitors to the capacitor storage section, and the first driving device drives the platen to descend to press and level the capacitors on the capacitor storage section. This avoids the capacitors falling off during the conveying process on the capacitor storage section, thus solving the problem that the existing semi-automatic hot press forming machines on the market cannot level the capacitors, resulting in their single function.

[0017] Specifically, the capacitor storage unit includes a first linear vibrator, a storage support mounted on top of the first linear vibrator, a storage assembly horizontally mounted on top of the storage support, and a second driving device located on one side of the storage assembly. The second driving device is mounted on the storage support via a first mounting plate. The storage assembly includes a storage trough rail, with a conveying groove along the long side of the top of the storage trough rail. A first needle clamp and a second needle clamp are located within the conveying groove of the storage trough rail. The first and second needle clamps are arranged opposite to each other, and an elastic element is provided between the first and second needle clamps. A slide notch is located on the side of the storage trough rail facing the second driving device. A needle alignment slide is located within the slide notch. A slide limiting plate is located above the needle alignment slide, limiting the lateral sliding of the needle alignment slide. The needle alignment slide is connected and installed to the output end of the second driving device. The second needle clamp is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the conveying groove of the storage trough rail via a clamp mounting screw.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the first pin clamp and the second pin clamp together hold the pins of the capacitor. The second driving device drives the first pin clamp through the pin alignment slide to press the pins of the entire row of capacitors onto the second pin clamp to adjust the orientation of the pins of the entire row of capacitors. This ensures that all the pins of the entire row of capacitors are aligned in a straight line, avoiding the situation where the capacitor pins are bent when the clamping and conveying mechanism clamps the capacitors. The first linear vibrator vibrates the storage assembly to prevent the capacitors from getting stuck during the conveying process on the storage assembly, ensuring that the capacitors are conveyed smoothly on the storage assembly.

[0019] Specifically, the material storage and conveying unit includes a conveying frame mounted on the first linear sliding module and the second linear sliding module. The conveying frame has a conveying shaft on the side facing the material storage component. A conveying coil spring is sleeved on the conveying shaft. The two ends of the conveying shaft are respectively mounted on the conveying frame through the first bearing seat and the second bearing seat. A third driving device is provided on one end of the conveying frame. The third driving device is connected to the conveying shaft through the first synchronous pulley and synchronous belt assembly. A tensioning wheel is provided on one side of the first synchronous pulley and synchronous belt assembly. A fourth driving device is provided on the flipping conveyor platform. The output end of the fourth driving device is connected and installed to the conveying frame through the first connecting plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the first feeding mechanism supplies capacitors to the storage component of the first storage mechanism. The fourth driving device drives the conveying moving frame to move towards the capacitor storage section on the first and second linear sliding modules, so that the capacitor body falls between two adjacent coils of the conveying coil spring. The third driving device drives the conveying shaft to rotate through the first synchronous wheel and synchronous belt assembly. The conveying shaft drives the conveying coil spring to rotate to convey the capacitors. The capacitors can be arranged one by one on the storage component, which can realize the batch conveying of capacitors, so as to solve the problem that the semi-automatic hot press molding machine on the market cannot feed multiple capacitors in batches, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0021] Specifically, the capacitor aligning section includes a limiting moving frame mounted on the first and second linear sliding modules. The limiting moving frame is equipped with a limiting rod for pressing the capacitors on the storage assembly onto the conveyor shaft. The limiting rod is parallel to the conveyor shaft. A fifth driving device is provided on the flipping conveyor platform. The output end of the fifth driving device is connected to the limiting moving frame through a second connecting plate. By adopting the above technical solution, the fifth driving device drives the limiting moving frame to move towards the capacitor storage section on the first and second linear sliding modules. The limiting moving frame drives the limiting rod to press the entire row of capacitors on the storage assembly onto the conveyor shaft for capacitor alignment. This achieves the alignment of all capacitors on the storage assembly in a straight line, ensuring that the flipping mechanism can remove the entire row of capacitors on the storage assembly at once, avoiding capacitors being left on the storage assembly, and thus ensuring that the next batch of capacitors can be smoothly transferred on the storage assembly, thereby solving the problem that semi-automatic hot press molding machines on the market cannot perform batch removal of capacitors.

[0022] Specifically, the structure and working principle of the second storage mechanism are the same as those of the first storage mechanism. The first feeding mechanism is connected to the first storage mechanism and supplies capacitance to the first storage mechanism, and the second feeding mechanism is connected to the second storage mechanism and supplies capacitance to the second storage mechanism.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the first storage mechanism and the second storage mechanism respectively perform capacitor feeding, conveying and arranging storage, providing dual-station material preparation for the clamping and conveying mechanism to convey capacitors, and ensuring uninterrupted batch conveying of capacitors and batch hot-pressing and shaping of capacitors. It has the advantages of high storage efficiency, high feeding efficiency and high feeding accuracy.

[0024] Preferably, the flipping mechanism includes a flipping conveyor frame, with a first flipping conveyor assembly and a second flipping conveyor assembly respectively provided at both ends of the frame. A flipping device is mounted on both the first and second flipping conveyor assemblies. The first flipping conveyor assembly includes a third linear sliding module, with a flipping conveyor seat on the third linear sliding module. A first buffer and a first limiter are provided on the outer side of one end of the flipping conveyor seat, and a second buffer and a second limiter are provided on the outer side of the other end. A second mounting plate and a third mounting plate are provided on the outer sides of both ends of the third linear sliding module. The first buffer and the first limiter are respectively mounted on the second mounting plate. A sixth driving device is also provided on the second mounting plate, with its output end connected to the flipping conveyor seat. The second buffer and the second limiter are respectively mounted on the third mounting plate. The structure and working principle of the second flipping conveyor assembly are the same as those of the first flipping conveyor assembly.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the first limiter and the second limiter limit the movement of the flipping conveyor, the first buffer and the second buffer buffer the movement of the flipping conveyor, and the sixth drive device drives the flipping conveyor to make linear reciprocating motion on the third linear sliding module.

[0026] Specifically, the flipping device includes a fourth mounting plate disposed on the flipping conveyor base of the first flipping conveyor assembly and the second flipping conveyor assembly. One side of the fourth mounting plate has a guide rod clearance notch for avoiding the guide rod. A first guide rod bearing assembly and a second guide rod bearing assembly are respectively disposed on both ends of the fourth mounting plate. The upper ends of the guide rods of the first and second guide rod bearing assemblies are connected to a first guide rod connecting plate. The fourth mounting plate is provided with a plurality of seventh driving devices, the output ends of which are connected to the first guide rod connecting plate. The first guide rod connecting plate is provided with a third buffer and a third limiter. The seventh driving devices drive the first guide rod connecting plate to move up and down, while the third buffer and the third limiter limit and buffer the downward movement of the first guide rod connecting plate. Below the guide rod of the first guide rod bearing assembly is a... The fifth mounting plate has the lower end of the guide rod of the first guide rod bearing assembly connected to it via a first support seat. The bottom surface of the fifth mounting plate is provided with a third bearing seat and a second photoelectric sensor. A first rotating shaft is installed inside the third bearing seat. One end of the first rotating shaft is provided with a light-shielding circular plate that works with the second photoelectric sensor. The other end of the first rotating shaft is provided with a first swing arm. A bearing housing is provided below the guide rod of the second guide rod bearing assembly. The lower end of the guide rod of the second guide rod bearing assembly is connected to the bearing housing via a second support seat. A second rotating shaft runs horizontally through the bearing housing. One end of the second rotating shaft is connected to an eighth driving device, which is installed on the outer side of the bearing housing. The other end of the second rotating shaft is provided with a second swing arm. The first and second swing arms are connected to a sixth mounting plate. The sixth mounting plate is provided with a first clamping device for clamping the entire row of capacitors.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the seventh drive device drives the sixth mounting plate to move up and down through the first guide rod connecting plate, the first guide rod bearing assembly, and the second guide rod bearing assembly. The first clamping device clamps the entire row of capacitors from the first or second storage mechanism as the sixth mounting plate moves up and down. The eighth drive device drives the sixth mounting plate to swing upward through the second rotating shaft and the second swing arm. The sixth mounting plate drives the first clamping device to flip upward to achieve the upward positioning of the capacitor pins. This facilitates the clamping and conveying mechanism to clamp the capacitor pins for capacitor conveying. The first flipping and conveying assembly and the second flipping and conveying assembly jointly drive the flipping device to move horizontally and reciprocally in a straight line to clamp the entire row of capacitors from the first and second storage mechanisms respectively. This ensures sufficient material supply before capacitor hot pressing, thereby improving the efficiency of capacitor hot pressing and solving the problem that semi-automatic hot pressing machines on the market cannot perform batch swinging adjustment of the pins of multiple capacitors.

[0028] Specifically, the first clamping device includes several ninth driving devices, which are oriented in the same direction and whose output ends are connected to a conveying clamping plate group; the conveying clamping plate group includes a first conveying clamping plate and a second conveying clamping plate arranged opposite to each other, and clamping rubber strips are respectively provided on the inner sides of the first conveying clamping plate and the second conveying clamping plate.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the capacitor is clamped when several ninth driving devices jointly drive the first and second transmission clamps to move closer to each other, and the clamping of the capacitor is released when several ninth driving devices jointly drive the first and second transmission clamps to move away from each other.

[0030] Preferably, the clamping and conveying mechanism includes a clamping and conveying frame, on which a fourth linear sliding module and a fifth linear sliding module are provided. The fourth and fifth linear sliding modules are arranged parallel to each other. A clamping and conveying component and a material unloading and conveying component are mounted on the fourth and fifth linear sliding modules. A second clamping device is mounted on the lower part of the clamping and conveying component, and a third clamping device is mounted on the lower part of the material unloading and conveying component. Two tenth driving devices are provided on one end of the clamping and conveying frame. One of the tenth driving devices is connected to the clamping and conveying component through a second synchronous pulley and synchronous belt assembly, and the other tenth driving device is connected to the material unloading and conveying component through a second synchronous pulley and synchronous belt assembly.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the tenth drive device drives the clamping and conveying assembly and the unloading and conveying assembly to move synchronously in a linear reciprocating motion on the fourth linear sliding module and the fifth linear sliding module, respectively, through the second synchronous pulley and synchronous belt assembly.

[0032] Specifically, the clamping and conveying assembly includes a seventh mounting plate. A third guide rod bearing assembly and a fourth guide rod bearing assembly are respectively provided at both ends of the seventh mounting plate. The upper ends of the guide rods of the third and fourth guide rod bearing assemblies are connected to a second guide rod connecting plate. An eleventh driving device is provided on the seventh mounting plate, and the output end of the eleventh driving device is connected to the second guide rod connecting plate. A sensor mounting plate is provided at one end of the seventh mounting plate, and a third photoelectric sensor is provided on the sensor mounting plate. A light-shielding plate that works in conjunction with the third photoelectric sensor is provided at one end of the second guide rod connecting plate. A third guide rod connecting plate is provided below the third and fourth guide rod bearing assemblies. The guide rods of the third and fourth guide rod bearing assemblies are respectively connected and installed to the third guide rod connecting plate via a third support base and a fourth support base. An eighth mounting plate is provided on the third guide rod connecting plate, and a second clamping device is located on the eighth mounting plate.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the eleventh drive device drives the second clamping device to move up and down through the second guide rod connecting plate, the third guide rod bearing assembly and the fourth guide rod bearing assembly.

[0034] Specifically, the material feeding and conveying assembly includes a ninth mounting plate. A fifth guide rod bearing assembly and a sixth guide rod bearing assembly are respectively located at both ends of the ninth mounting plate. A tenth mounting plate is located below the fifth and sixth guide rod bearing assemblies. The guide rods of the fifth and sixth guide rod bearing assemblies are connected to the tenth mounting plate via fifth and sixth support seats, respectively. A twelfth driving device is mounted on the bottom surface of the ninth mounting plate, and its output end is connected to the tenth mounting plate. A third clamping device is located on the bottom surface of the tenth mounting plate. The twelfth driving device drives the third clamping device to move up and down via the ninth mounting plate, the fifth guide rod bearing assembly, and the sixth guide rod bearing assembly. The structure and working principle of the second and third clamping devices are the same as those of the first clamping device.

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping and conveying component drives the second clamping device to move up and down, the unloading and conveying component drives the third clamping device to move up and down, and the tenth driving device drives the clamping and conveying component and the unloading and conveying component to move back and forth on the fourth linear sliding module and the fifth linear sliding module through the second synchronous pulley and synchronous belt component. The clamping and conveying component drives the second clamping device to move up and down to cooperate with the second clamping device to take the entire row of capacitors from the flipping mechanism and place them on the hot pressing and shaping mechanism. The unloading and conveying component drives the third clamping device to move up and down to cooperate with the third clamping device to clamp the entire row of capacitors after hot pressing and shaping from the hot pressing and shaping mechanism. The tenth driving device drives the second clamping device and the third clamping device to move horizontally to transfer the capacitors. The clamping and conveying component drives the second clamping device to lower to cooperate with the second clamping device to place the entire row of capacitors. The capacitors are placed on the hot-pressing and shaping mechanism. At this point, the pins of the entire row of capacitors are facing upwards, and all pins are in a straight line. This ensures that the entire row of capacitors with the same orientation is fully inserted into the hot-pressing and shaping mechanism, which can completely clamp the capacitors. When the unloading conveying component moves above the unloading trough, the unloading conveying component drives the third clamping device to descend to release the entire row of capacitors. The entire row of capacitors is then recycled through the unloading trough. This system automates the batch feeding, conveying, and placement of capacitors before hot-pressing and shaping, as well as the batch unloading after hot-pressing and shaping. It has the advantages of high conveying efficiency, high unloading efficiency, and low unloading cost, thus solving the problem that semi-automatic hot-pressing machines on the market cannot perform batch feeding, placement, hot-pressing, and unloading of multiple capacitors.

[0036] Preferably, the hot pressing and shaping mechanism includes a test platform, with a thirteenth driving device on the bottom surface of one end of the test platform, and a plurality of sixth linear sliding modules on the top surface of the test platform. The plurality of sixth linear sliding modules are arranged parallel to each other, and a shaping device is mounted on the plurality of sixth linear sliding modules. A test transmission assembly is mounted on the bottom surface of the test platform, and the thirteenth driving device is connected to the shaping device through the test transmission assembly. The shaping device includes a first test component and a second test component arranged opposite to each other. The first test component and the second test component are respectively connected and installed to two sliding parts of the sixth linear sliding module, and the first test component and the second test component move closer to or further away from each other in the sixth linear sliding module.

[0037] Specifically, the first test component includes a soft clip, a heating element, a heat insulation strip, and a shaping clamp arranged in sequence. The shaping clamp has one or more clamping seats on its upper and lower sides, which clamp and fix the heating element, the heat insulation strip, and the shaping clamp. The shaping clamp is connected and installed to one of the sliding parts of the sixth linear sliding module. The heating element generates heat, and the heat is conducted to the capacitor body through the soft clip. The structure and working principle of the second test component are the same as those of the first test component.

[0038] Specifically, the test transmission assembly includes several gearboxes located on the bottom surface of the test platform. A third rotating shaft passes through the gearboxes, and several fourth bearing seats are mounted on the third rotating shaft. The third rotating shaft is mounted on the bottom surface of the test platform via the several fourth bearing seats. Several gears are mounted on the third rotating shaft and are located inside the gearboxes. A first rack and a second rack are respectively mounted on the upper and lower sides of the gears. The first rack and the second rack are respectively meshed with the gears. A first guide wheel and a second guide wheel are respectively mounted on one end of the first rack and the second rack. The first guide wheel and the second guide wheel are located on both sides of the gear. Several first lever seats and second lever seats are respectively mounted on the top surface of the test platform. The first lever seats and the second lever seats are respectively located on both sides of the shaping device. A first double fork plate is mounted on the first lever seat, and a second double fork plate is mounted on the second lever seat. The first double fork plate and the second double fork plate pass through the test platform. Forks are respectively provided at the two ends of the first double fork plate and the second double fork plate.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, the thirteenth drive device drives the third rotating shaft to rotate, the third rotating shaft drives the gear to rotate, and the rotating gear meshes with the first rack and the second rack respectively. The first rack and the second rack move out of alignment with each other. The first rack drives the first double fork plate to make lever movement on the first lever seat through the first guide wheel, and the second rack drives the second double fork plate to make lever movement on the second lever seat through the second guide wheel.

[0040] Specifically, the shaping device has several third guide wheels and fourth guide wheels on both sides. The third guide wheels are mounted on the outer side of the shaping clamp of the first test assembly through the first bearing seat, and the fourth guide wheels are mounted on the outer side of the shaping clamp of the second test assembly through the second bearing seat. The third guide wheels and the first guide wheels are respectively located in the forks at the upper and lower ends of the first double fork plate, and the fourth guide wheels and the second guide wheels are respectively located in the forks at the upper and lower ends of the second double fork plate.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, the thirteenth driving device drives the third rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the gear to rotate. The gear meshes with the first rack and the second rack respectively to drive the first rack and the second rack to reciprocate in a staggered motion. When the first rack and the second rack move away from each other, the first rack and the second rack push the lower ends of the first double fork plate and the second double fork plate away from each other through the first guide wheel and the second guide wheel respectively. Since the first double fork plate moves on the first lever seat and the second double fork plate moves on the second lever seat, the upper ends of the first double fork plate and the second double fork plate move closer to each other. The first double fork plate and the second double fork plate push the first test component and the second test component closer to each other on the sixth linear sliding module through the third guide wheel and the fourth guide wheel respectively, thereby clamping the capacitor to flatten and shape it. The heating element of the first test component and the second test component generates heat, which is conducted to the capacitor through the soft clamp. The capacitor is subjected to... The heat is more easily flattened and shaped. The soft clips act as a buffer to protect the capacitor. When the two soft clips clamp the capacitor, the opposite surfaces of the two soft clips are easily deformed by the shape of the capacitor. The increased contact area between the two soft clips and the capacitor allows for faster and more uniform heat conduction, avoiding uneven heating and localized melting. At the same time, the capacitor body is completely clamped and shaped by the first and second test components, so that the entire capacitor is hot-pressed and shaped. This ensures that the thickness of the flattened capacitor is consistent and that the capacitor will not have local leakage and fail to meet the requirements. This not only greatly reduces the defect rate, but also realizes fully automatic and efficient hot-pressing and shaping of multiple capacitor bodies in a row. It has the advantages of high hot-pressing efficiency, good hot-pressing effect and low hot-pressing cost, which solves the problem of low feeding efficiency and low hot-pressing efficiency caused by the fact that the semi-automatic hot-pressing forming machine on the market can only take one capacitor for hot-pressing and shaping at a time.

[0042] Preferably, a touch screen is installed on the front of the gripping and conveying frame. The touch screen has a built-in controller or control system that controls the signals of the first storage mechanism, the second storage mechanism, the flipping mechanism, the hot pressing and shaping mechanism and the gripping and conveying mechanism. The controller is a PLC programmable logic controller. The PLC programmable logic controller can be a programmable logic controller of model XDS-40T-D, but is not limited to this.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0044] 1. Its overall structural design realizes a series of fully automated operations for batch feeding, storage, batch flipping, batch conveying, batch hot pressing and shaping, and batch unloading of capacitors. It ensures that the hot pressing thickness of each capacitor is consistent and has the advantages of good hot pressing effect, high hot pressing efficiency, low cost, diversified functions, and strong operational flexibility. It not only effectively solves the problems of inconsistent flattened thickness, poor flattening effect, low efficiency, and high labor cost caused by the traditional manual flattening and shaping of capacitors, but also solves the problems of low hot pressing efficiency, poor hot pressing effect, high cost, single function, poor operational flexibility, and large application limitations of the semi-automatic hot pressing forming machine on the market, which cannot perform batch flattening, arrangement, batch pin orientation adjustment, batch hot pressing and shaping, and batch unloading of conveyed capacitors, and the phenomenon of local hot melting of capacitors after forming.

[0045] 2. By designing the structures of the first and second storage mechanisms respectively, the first and second feeding mechanisms can supply capacitors to the first and second storage mechanisms respectively. The first and second storage mechanisms can receive capacitors in batches and arrange and store the capacitors, so that the capacitors can be arranged in batches on the first and second storage mechanisms with the pins facing down. This solves the problem that the semi-automatic hot press molding machines on the market can only feed single capacitors and cannot feed multiple capacitors in batches.

[0046] 3. By designing the structure of the flipping mechanism, it can sequentially pick up and flip a row of capacitors from the first and second storage mechanisms in batches, so that the flipped capacitors are positioned on the flipping mechanism with their pins facing upwards. This solves the problem that semi-automatic hot press molding machines on the market cannot adjust the pin orientation of single and multiple capacitors in batches.

[0047] 4. By designing the structure of the clamping and conveying mechanism, it can receive a row of capacitors from the flipping mechanism and place the row of capacitors with all pins on the same straight line and all pins facing upwards onto the hot pressing and shaping mechanism. The clamping and conveying mechanism can also pick up the shaped capacitors in batches from the hot pressing and shaping mechanism and convey them in batches to the unloading trough for unloading and recycling. This solves the problem that semi-automatic hot pressing and shaping machines on the market cannot perform batch conveying and batch unloading of capacitors.

[0048] 5. By designing the structure of the hot pressing and shaping mechanism, it enables batch hot pressing and shaping of entire rows of capacitors, thus solving the problem that semi-automatic hot pressing and shaping machines on the market cannot perform batch hot pressing and shaping of capacitors.

[0093] Reference Figures 1 to 22As shown, the present invention also provides a hot pressing and shaping process for a flexible capacitor hot pressing and shaping aging test machine: First, the capacitors are placed in the vibratory feeders 611 of the first feeding mechanism 61 and the second feeding mechanism 62 respectively. The first feeding mechanism 61 supplies capacitors in batches to the first storage mechanism 51. The capacitors of the first feeding mechanism 61 are conveyed from the vibratory feeder 611 through the capacitor conveying rail 613 of the first storage mechanism 51. When the capacitors pass through the leveling component 56 of the first storage mechanism 51, the first driving device 562 of the leveling component 56 drives the leveling plate 563 to descend so as to press and flatten the capacitors on the capacitor storage part 55, which avoids the capacitors falling off during the conveying process on the capacitor storage part 55. When the capacitor is leveled by the leveling component 56 and then conveyed into the capacitor storage section 55, the first pin clamp 5532 and the second pin clamp 5533 of the capacitor storage section 55 clamp the pins of the capacitor together. The second drive device 554 drives the first pin clamp 5532 through the pin alignment slide 5536 to press the pins of the entire row of capacitors onto the second pin clamp 5533 to adjust the orientation of the pins of the entire row of capacitors. This ensures that all the pins of the entire row of capacitors are aligned in a straight line, so as to avoid bending the capacitor pins when the clamping and conveying mechanism 9 clamps the capacitors. When the fourth drive device 538 of the storage and conveying section 53 of the first feeding mechanism 61 drives the conveying moving frame 530 to move towards the capacitor storage section 55 on the first linear sliding module 41 and the second linear sliding module 42, the capacitor body can fall into the space between two adjacent coils of the conveying coil spring 532. The third drive device 535 drives the conveying shaft 531 to rotate through the first synchronous pulley and synchronous belt assembly 536. The conveying shaft 531 drives the conveying coil spring 532 to rotate to perform inductive transmission, which makes the capacitors fill the storage assembly 553 one by one. When the fifth drive device 543 of the capacitor aligning section 54 of the first feeding mechanism 61 drives the limiting moving frame 541 to move towards the capacitor storage section 55 on the first linear sliding module 41 and the second linear sliding module 42, the limiting moving frame 541 drives the limiting rod 542 to press the row of capacitors on the storage assembly 553 onto the conveying shaft 531 for capacitor alignment. This ensures that all capacitors on the storage assembly 553 are aligned in a straight line, so that the flipping mechanism 7 can remove the row of capacitors on the storage assembly 553 at once, thus preventing capacitors from being left on the storage assembly 553. The second feeding mechanism 62 supplies capacitors to the second storage mechanism 52 in batches according to the same working principle as the first feeding mechanism 61. It not only realizes dual-station capacitor supply, but also solves the problem that the semi-automatic hot press forming machines on the market cannot automatically transfer multiple capacitors in batches.

[0094] The seventh drive device 736 in the flipping device 73 of the flipping mechanism 7 drives the sixth mounting plate 7393 to move up and down via the first guide rod connecting plate 735, the first guide rod bearing assembly 733, and the second guide rod bearing assembly 734. As the sixth mounting plate 7393 lowers, the first clamping device 7394 clamps the entire row of capacitors from the first storage mechanism 51 or the second storage mechanism 52. The eighth drive device 7391 drives the sixth mounting plate 7393 to swing upwards via the second rotating shaft 7309 and the second swing rod 7392. The sixth mounting plate 7393 then drives the first clamping device 7394 to move upwards. The upward flipping motion positions the pins of the entire row of capacitors facing upward on the flipping mechanism 7, which facilitates the clamping and conveying mechanism 9 to clamp the pins of the capacitors for capacitor transfer. The first flipping and conveying component 71 and the second flipping and conveying component 72 drive the flipping device 73 to move horizontally and reciprocally in a linear motion to achieve batch clamping and flipping of the entire row of inductors from the first storage mechanism 51 and the second storage mechanism 52, respectively. This solves the problem that the semi-automatic hot press molding machines on the market can only perform hot press molding on a single capacitor and cannot automatically adjust the orientation of the pins of the entire row of capacitors (i.e., multiple capacitors) according to production needs.

[0095] The clamping and conveying component 94 of the clamping and conveying mechanism 9 drives the second clamping device 96 to move up and down, and the unloading and conveying component 95 drives the third clamping device 97 to move up and down. The clamping and conveying component 94 moves back and forth on the fourth linear sliding module 92 and the fifth linear sliding module 93 under the drive of the tenth driving device 98 connected to it. The unloading and conveying component 95 also moves back and forth on the fourth linear sliding module 92 and the fifth linear sliding module 93 under the drive of the tenth driving device 98 connected to it. The second clamping device 96 takes the entire row of capacitors from the flipping mechanism 7 and places them on the hot pressing and shaping mechanism 8 under the drive of the clamping and conveying component 94. The flipping mechanism 7 and the clamping and conveying mechanism 9 not only make all the pins of the entire row of capacitors on the same straight line and all the pins are placed on the hot pressing and shaping mechanism 8 with the same upward swing direction, but also realize the automation of batch feeding and batch placement of the entire row of capacitors before hot pressing and shaping.

[0096] When the thirteenth drive device 82 of the hot pressing and shaping mechanism 8 drives the third rotating shaft 851 to rotate in both directions, it can drive the gear 853 to rotate in both directions. The gear 853 rotating in both directions meshes with the first rack 854 and the second rack 855 respectively to drive the first rack 854 and the second rack 855 to reciprocate in a staggered motion. When the first rack 854 and the second rack 855 are staggered and move away from each other, the first rack 854 and the second rack 855 are respectively guided by the first guide wheel 856 and The second guide wheel 857 pushes the lower ends of the first double fork plate 8501 and the second double fork plate 8502 to move away from each other. Since the first double fork plate 8501 can perform lever movement on the first lever seat 858 and the second double fork plate 8502 can perform lever movement on the second lever seat 859, the upper ends of the first double fork plate 8501 and the second double fork plate 8502 move closer to each other. The approaching first double fork plate 8501 and the second double fork plate 8502 are respectively guided by the third guide wheel 8504 and the second guide wheel 8509. Four guide wheels 8505 push the first test component 86 and the second test component 87 closer together on the sixth linear sliding module 83 to clamp the capacitor and flatten it. The heating elements 862 of the first test component 86 and the second test component 87 generate heat, which is conducted to the capacitor through the soft clips 861. After being heated, the capacitor is more easily flattened and shaped. The soft clips 861 provide buffer protection for the capacitor. The opposing surfaces of the two soft clips 861 are easily deformed by the shape of the capacitor when clamping it, which increases the contact area between the two soft clips 861 and the capacitor. This makes the heat conduction of the capacitor faster and more even, avoiding uneven heating and local melting. At the same time, the capacitor body is completely clamped and pressed by the first test component 86 and the second test component 87, so that the capacitor is hot-pressed and shaped as a whole. This ensures that the thickness of the flattened capacitor is consistent and that the capacitor will not have local leakage and become a defective product. This realizes automatic hot-pressing and shaping of the entire row of capacitors.

[0097] After the hot pressing and shaping mechanism 8 completes the hot pressing and shaping of the entire row of capacitors, the third clamping device 97 of the clamping and conveying mechanism 9, driven by the unloading and conveying component 95, clamps the entire row of capacitors after hot pressing and shaping from the hot pressing and shaping mechanism 8 and moves them to the unloading trough 10 for unloading and recycling.

[0098] Its overall structural design enables fully automated batch feeding, storage, batch flipping and pin orientation adjustment, batch conveying, batch hot pressing and shaping, and batch unloading and recycling of capacitors. This ensures consistent hot pressing thickness for each capacitor and prevents localized leakage that could lead to defective products, significantly reducing the defect rate and lowering costs. It boasts advantages such as excellent hot pressing effect, high efficiency, and low cost. It effectively solves the problems of inconsistent thickness, poor flattening effect, low production efficiency, and high labor costs associated with traditional manual capacitor flattening. Furthermore, it addresses the issues of low efficiency, high cost, limited functionality, poor operational flexibility, and significant limitations of existing semi-automatic hot pressing machines, which are unable to perform batch flattening, arrangement, pin orientation adjustment, hot pressing and shaping, and unloading of conveyed capacitors, and frequently experience localized melting after hot pressing.

[0099] The above embodiments are merely examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation and scope of the present invention. All technical solutions that are the same as or equivalent to the contents described in the claims of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
