Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of automated processing equipment for electronic components, and specifically relates to precision processing equipment for capacitor leads. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of electronic devices, the precision of capacitor pin machining directly affects product performance. Traditional manufacturing processes suffer from the following drawbacks: 1. High dependence on manual labor: Processes such as lead cutting, capacity testing, and ink printing require manual operation in each step, resulting in low efficiency (approximately 3,000 pieces per day). According to industry statistics, labor costs account for more than 35% of production costs.

[0003] 2. Insufficient precision control: The pinout angles rely on manual visual adjustment, with an angle deviation of ±15°, resulting in a soldering defect rate exceeding 8%. An error of ±0.5mm in the cut length can easily cause short circuits or poor soldering.

[0004] 3. Poor process coordination: Semi-automatic equipment can only perform a single function (such as pinning or printing), requires manual transfer between processes, and the surface of capacitors is easily scratched. The ink printing and drying processes are separated, and the ink comes into contact with the tooling before it has cured, resulting in a blurring rate of over 15%.

[0005] 4. Difficulty in quality traceability: Defective products require manual sorting, with a missed inspection rate exceeding 5%, and it is impossible to link them to specific failed processes.

[0006] Although some fully automated corner-cutting machines have attempted to integrate some functions, they still have three major drawbacks: The vibratory feeder's feeding and processing modules are independent, and the pins are prone to jamming (failure rate > 10 times / shift); the capacity detection and pin cutting are not linked, and defective products cannot be removed in real time; the pin splitting mechanism only supports a single angle (90° or 180°), which cannot adapt to multi-specification production.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a fully automated device that integrates intelligent conveying, precision detection, and multi-angle lead splitting to solve the problems of accuracy, efficiency, and coordination. Summary of the Invention

[0059] II. Operational Procedure Phase 1: Material conveying and pretreatment ( Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 ) The first vibrating feeder 11 feeds capacitors at 60 per minute, while the cleaning brush 35 removes dust at a speed of 1200 rpm.

[0060] The second vibrating feeder 9 conveys the base to the positioning table 854, and the push rod 853 pushes it into place.

[0061] Phase 2: Detection and Foot Cutting ( Figure 3 ) Transfer gripper 442 transfers capacitors: The capacitors that fail the initial screening by the front test fixture 423 are transferred to the discharge fixture 426 and discharged into the first collection container 22.

[0063] Phase 3: Ink Printing and Curing Figures 4-6 ) Ink application: When the pressure plate 554 moves upward, the guide wheel 534 is freed to return to its original position under the reset characteristic of the spring, and is attached to the bottom of the ink cartridge, driving the ink-applying brush 536 to scrape ink (frequency 2Hz) so that the ink is evenly applied.

[0064] Printing: The limiting frame 556 drives the stamp head 544 to press down (pressure 0.3MPa).

[0065] Curing: Rotate the drying tray 61 at 10 rpm and irradiate with UV lamp 64 for 3 seconds.

[0066] Phase 4: Pin Forming and Inspection Figures 8-17 ) 1. Stepped feet: In the 120° split mechanism 86, the split guide 865 presses the pin down to the bottom of the V-shaped split groove 863, forcing the pin to form along the 120° inclined plane; the 180° split mechanism 87 expands the pin a second time through the horizontal split groove 874 to eliminate springback stress.

[0069] 3. Capacitance testing: The lifting rod 8923 rises and pushes the transmission wheel 8922, causing the two detection seats 892 to separate. After the capacitor is placed, the second reset spring 894 drives the detection seat 892 to close, and the detection probe 898 contacts the pin to complete the test.

[0070] The second reset spring 894 is compressed and stores energy, and automatically resets within 0.2 seconds after detection.

[0071] Phase 5: Quality Closed Loop ( Figure 8 and Figure 17 ) Industrial camera 25 captures the pin angle (accuracy 0.1°) and appearance. Defective products detected (angle mismatch or appearance defects) are pushed into the second collection container 23 for rejection at the exit station of rotary table 81 by pusher actuator 7 or other dedicated discharge mechanism (not shown separately in the figure, but can be understood as similar to discharge fixture 426 or integrated in discharge fixture 428).

[0072] III. Mechanism for Achieving Technical Effects 1. Accuracy guarantee: Double wedge block linkage: The second wedge block 8251 presses against the first wedge block 8234, so that the elastic clamping plate 8232 applies force evenly (the amount of pin deformation is <0.01mm), and clamps the capacitor.

[0073] Stepped feet: Step-by-step machining from 120° to 180° reduces metal stress, with an angle deviation of ≤0.5°.

[0074] Reset control: The second reset spring 894 ensures that the reset accuracy of the detection seat 892 is ±0.05mm.

[0075] 2. Efficiency optimization: Synchronous control: The movement delay between the transfer gripper 442 and the turntable 81 is <10ms.

[0076] Mechanical self-locking: U-shaped clamp 731 sets with roller 723, material transfer success rate 100%.

[0077] 3. Quality closed loop: Dual-station inspection: false detection rate of front test fixture 423 and rear test fixture 425 <0.1%.

[0078] Intelligent reset: The second reset spring 894 enables the detection mechanism to be reset in milliseconds.

[0079] Compared with existing technologies, this technology achieves full automation of the capacitor manufacturing process through the coordinated operation of core components such as the main mounting base 1, auxiliary mounting base 2, first vibratory feeder 11, transfer gripper 442, lead guide 865, and second return spring 894. This automation encompasses the entire process from capacitor conveying, cleaning, dual-station capacity detection, precision lead clamping, ink printing, UV curing, 120° to 180° stepped lead clamping, capacity detection, and visual sorting. The second return spring 894 ensures rapid reset of the detection base 892, and the synchronous control of the transfer gripper 442 and the height-adjustable rotating worktable 81 enables seamless process integration, ultimately producing high-precision leads. This significantly improves lead angle consistency, lead length accuracy, and production efficiency. Furthermore, closed-loop quality control completely eliminates manual omissions, systematically solving the challenges of efficiency, accuracy, and quality control in capacitor lead processing.
