[0002] Tantalum capacitors, with tantalum metal as their core, have advantages such as small size, large capacitance, low ESR, wide temperature stability, long life, and unique self-healing properties. They also have low leakage current and are safer than traditional capacitors.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first embodiment provided in this application is an automatic assembly equipment for aluminum target strips and tantalum cores, including a frame 1, and further including a carrier circulation mechanism 2, an aluminum target strip feeding mechanism 3, a tantalum core feeding mechanism 4, a welding mechanism 5, a feeding mechanism 6, and a receiving mechanism 7 disposed on the frame 1. The aluminum target strip feeding mechanism 3 is used to place aluminum target strips 100 in the carrier circulation mechanism 2. The tantalum core feeding mechanism 4 is used to place tantalum cores 200 on the aluminum target strips 100 in the carrier circulation mechanism 2. The welding mechanism 5 is used to weld the tantalum cores 200 and the aluminum target strips 100 to form a finished product 300. The feeding mechanism 6 is used to transfer the finished product 300 from the carrier circulation mechanism 2 to the receiving mechanism 7.

[0037] In actual use, the carrier circulation mechanism 2 first receives the aluminum target strip 100 provided by the target strip feeding mechanism, then receives the tantalum core 200 provided by the tantalum core feeding mechanism 4, and then welds the tantalum core 200 to the aluminum target strip 100 through the welding mechanism 5 to form the finished product 300. Then the finished product 300 is transferred to the receiving mechanism 7 through the unloading mechanism 6.

[0038] The above design enables automatic welding of the tantalum core 200 and the aluminum target strip 100, facilitating mass production.

[0039] Specifically: such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle circulation mechanism 2 includes two linear modules 21 arranged along the Y-axis on the frame 1, two support frames 22 respectively arranged at the output ends of the two linear modules 21, a top plate 23 respectively arranged at the upper ends of the two support frames 22, a linear guide rail 24 extending along the Y-axis on the top plate 23, a vehicle 25 slidably arranged on the linear guide rail 24, a magnetic levitation circulation line 26 fixedly arranged on the top plate 23 for driving the vehicle 25 to slide along the linear guide rail 24, and two vehicle 25 opening assemblies respectively arranged on the two support frames 22.

[0040] In actual use, the support frame 22 is driven by two linear modules 21, which in turn move the top plate 23 along the Y-axis. This allows the support frame 22 to move the top plate 23, the magnetic levitation circulation line 26, and the carrier 25 synchronously, thus avoiding obstruction of other mechanisms. When the carrier 25 needs to be transported to different corresponding mechanism positions, it is moved by the magnetic levitation circulation line 26. When the carrier 25 needs to receive materials or when products need to be removed from it, the carrier 25 is opened by the carrier 25 opening assembly.

[0041] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the vehicle circulation mechanism 2 facilitate the stable driving of the vehicle 25.

[0042] Specifically: such as Figure 4As shown, the carrier 25 includes a first slide block 251 slidably mounted on a first linear guide rail 24 and having a feeding groove; a permanent magnet array 252 mounted on the first slide block 251 for cooperating with the magnetic levitation circulation line 26; and a pressing component vertically slidably mounted on the first slide block 251 for pressing the aluminum target strip 100 in the feeding groove. The first slide block 251 is provided with a vertical through hole and a positioning groove. The pressing component includes a vertical rod 253 slidably connected to the vertical through hole and a pressing component mounted on the vertical rod. The upper end of 253 has a pressure plate 254 and a positioning rod 255 set on the pressure plate 254. The positioning rod 255 cooperates with the positioning groove. The lifting assembly of the carrier 25 includes a first cylinder 271 vertically set on the support frame 22, a lifting plate 272 set on the output end of the first cylinder 271, and two lifting columns 273 respectively set at both ends of the lifting plate 272. The two lifting columns 273 respectively pass through the two vertical holes to lift the vertical rods 253 of the two pressing parts.

[0043] In actual use, when the lifting assembly of carrier 25 does not lift the vertical rod 253, carrier 25 is in a state where it can fix the product. When it is necessary to open carrier 25, the lifting plate 272 is driven by cylinder 271 to move the two lifting columns 273 upward, so that the lifting columns 273 pass through the vertical hole and lift the vertical rod 253 upward, causing the vertical rod 253 to move the pressure plate 254 upward, and the positioning rod 255 disengages from the positioning groove, thus facilitating material handling. The magnetic levitation circulation line 26 drives the first slide 251 to move through the electromagnetic force generated by the permanent magnet array 252, thereby realizing the movement of carrier 25. The product is placed in the discharge trough.

[0044] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the vehicle 25 facilitate the stable movement and automatic opening and closing of the vehicle 25.

[0045] Specifically: such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the aluminum target bar feeding mechanism 3 includes a material rack 31 and a transfer assembly 32. The material rack 31 includes a second support A311 mounted on the frame 1, a clamping strip 312 mounted on the second support A311 for limiting the two ends of the aluminum target bar 100, a second cylinder A313 mounted on the second support along the Y-axis, and a feeding plate 314 mounted on the output end of the second cylinder A313. The feeding plate 314 is provided with a material support groove 301 for supporting the aluminum target bar 100. The transfer assembly 32 includes a second support B321 mounted on the frame 1, a second linear module 322 mounted vertically on the second support B321, a second lifting frame 323 mounted on the output end of the second linear module 322, and a first suction cup 324 mounted on the second lifting frame 323.

[0046] In actual use, several aluminum target strips 100 are stacked in the material rack 31. The two ends of each aluminum target strip 100 are limited by the slots of two locking strips 312, ensuring that the aluminum target strip 100 does not deviate during lifting. After the material tray 301 of the feeding plate 314 receives the bottom aluminum target strip 100, the second cylinder A313 drives the feeding plate to move towards the transfer assembly 32. When the feeding plate 314 moves to the feeding position, the second linear module 322 drives the second lifting frame 323 to move downwards, causing the first suction cup 324 to absorb the aluminum target strip 100 in the material tray 301. Then, the second lifting frame 323 continues to move downwards to the side of the carrier 25 (at this time, the carrier 25 is open). Subsequently, the two first linear modules 21 drive... The support frame 22 moves toward the second suction cup, so that the material discharge slot of the first slide 251 is below the aluminum target strip 100 being adsorbed and the two pressure plates 254 are above the aluminum target strip 100. Then the second linear module 322 drives the second lifting frame 323 to continue to move down and place the product in the material discharge slot. Then the first linear module 21 drives the support frame 22 to reset. Then the carrier 25 opens the component to stop lifting the vertical rod 253, so that the pressure plate 254 presses down on the upper surface of the aluminum target strip 100 in the material discharge slot.

[0047] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the aluminum target bar feeding mechanism 3 facilitate the automatic feeding of the aluminum target bar 100.

[0048] Specifically: such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the tantalum core feeding mechanism 4 includes a vibratory plate 41 mounted on the frame 1, a straight vibrator 42 connected to the vibratory plate 41, a receiving plate 43 mounted at the end of the straight vibrator 42, and a cam feeding assembly 44 mounted on the frame 1 for adsorbing and transferring the tantalum core 200 in the receiving plate 43. The cam feeding assembly 44 includes a third linear guide rail A401 mounted on the frame 1 along the Y-axis, a third support 402 slidably mounted on the third linear guide rail A401, and a third support mounted on the frame 1 for driving the third support 402 along the third linear guide rail. A401 includes a sliding air-float drive platform 403, a third linear guide rail B404 mounted on a third support 402, a third sliding seat 405 slidably mounted on the third linear guide rail B404, a third linear module 406 mounted on the third support 402 for driving the third sliding seat 405 to slide along the third linear guide rail B404, a third linear guide rail C407 mounted on the side of the third sliding seat 405 along the Z-axis, a lifting plate 408 slidably mounted on the third linear guide rail C407, and a third linear module 406 mounted on the lifting plate 408 along the Y-axis. Linear guide rail D409, material picker 410 slidably mounted on linear guide rail D409, suction cup 411 mounted on material picker 410, two cam followers 412 arranged along the Z-axis on lifting plate 408, rotating shaft 413 rotatably mounted on sliding seat 405, cam disk 414, cam 415, and cam 416 fixedly mounted on rotating shaft 413, swing arm 417 rotatably mounted on sliding seat 405, and cam followers 411 mounted on both sides of the upper end of swing arm 417. The cam follower 419 and the second cam follower 419 are located at the lower end of the swing arm 417. The motor pulley assembly 421 for driving the rotating shaft 413 to rotate is located on the third sliding seat 405. The inner and outer walls of the cam disk 414 are respectively rolledly connected to the two fourth cam followers 412. The material picker 410 is provided with a groove that cooperates with the third cam follower 420. The first cam follower 418 and the first cam 415, and the second cam follower 419 and the second cam 416 form two conjugate cam pairs.

[0049] In actual use, the tantalum core 200 is vibrated by the vibratory feeder 41 into the linear vibrator 42, and then vibrated along the linear vibrator 42 into the receiving plate 43. The cam feeding assembly 44 then picks up and transfers the tantalum core 200 from the receiving plate 43. The air-float drive platform 403 drives the third support 402 to move along the third linear guide rail A401, and the third linear module 406 drives the third sliding seat 405 to slide along the third linear guide rail B404, so that the third sliding seat 405 reaches the predetermined working position (the third suction cup 411 is located above the tantalum core 200 in the receiving plate 43). Then, the motor pulley assembly 42... 1. Drive the rotating shaft 413 to rotate, so that the rotating shaft 413 drives the first cam 415, the second cam 416 and the cam disk 414 to rotate synchronously. When the cam disk 414 rotates, it rolls with the two fourth cam followers 412 through its inner wall and outer wall respectively to realize the reciprocating lifting of the lifting plate 408. This realizes the synchronous reciprocating lifting of the third linear guide rail D409 fixedly connected to the lifting plate 408, the material picker 410 slidably connected to the third linear guide rail D409, and the third suction cup 411 fixedly set on the material picker 410, thereby realizing the displacement of the third suction cup 411 in the height direction during operation. Simultaneously, the rotating shaft 413 drives the first cam 415 and the second cam 416 to rotate. When the first cam 415 and the second cam 416 rotate, they are respectively rolledly connected with the first cam follower 418 and the second cam follower 419. Since the first cam follower 418 and the first cam 415, and the second cam follower 419 and the second cam 416 form two conjugate cam pairs, the swing arm 417 will swing. The swing arm 417 swings to realize the third cam follower 420 reciprocating along the Y-axis. Since the third cam follower 420 cooperates with the picking rack 410 through the groove, the picking rack 410 will drive the third suction cup 411 to reciprocate along the Y-axis synchronously, realizing the horizontal displacement of the third suction cup 411 during the operation.

[0050] In actual use, the structural design and specific implementation of the tantalum core feeding mechanism 4 can realize the reciprocating lifting and reciprocating horizontal movement of the third suction cup 411 with only one motor pulley assembly 421, making the entire mechanism compact and ensuring smoother connection of the movement of the third suction cup 411 in the height and horizontal directions.

[0051] Specifically: such as Figure 10As shown, the welding mechanism 5 includes a fourth base 501 mounted on the frame 1, a fourth linear guide rail 502 mounted on the fourth base 501 along the Y-axis, a fourth sliding seat 503 slidably mounted on the fourth linear guide rail 502, a fourth linear module A504 mounted on the fourth base 501 for driving the fourth sliding seat 503 to slide along the fourth linear guide rail 502, a fourth linear module B505 vertically mounted on the fourth sliding seat 503, and a fourth linear module A504 vertically mounted on the fourth linear module A505. The components include: a fourth plate 506 at the output end of group B505; a fourth cylinder A507 vertically mounted on the fourth plate 506; an electric slip ring; a mounting block at the output end of the fourth cylinder A507; a cable 508 mounted on the mounting block; a circular electrode 509 connected to the cable 508 via the electric slip ring; a fourth cylinder B510 mounted on the fourth sliding seat 503; and a rotating rod 511 with one end hinged to the output end of the fourth cylinder B510 and the other end fixedly connected to the circular electrode 509.

[0052] In actual use, after the tantalum core 200 is placed on the aluminum target strip 100, the fourth linear module A504 drives the fourth sliding seat 503 to slide along the fourth linear guide rail 502. The fourth linear module B505 drives the fourth plate 506 to descend, which in turn drives the fourth cylinder A507 and the mounting block to descend synchronously. The circular electrode 509 is then used to weld the tantalum core 200 to the aluminum target strip 100. When it is necessary to switch the area where the circular electrode 509 is used, the fourth cylinder B510 can drive the rotating rod 511 to rotate the circular electrode 509, allowing the circular electrode 509 to be used for welding in a different area.

[0053] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the welding mechanism 5 facilitate the rotation of the circular electrode 509, avoiding the problem of ablation of the same area caused by prolonged welding of the circular electrode 509.

[0054] Specifically: such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the unloading mechanism 6 includes a flipping assembly 61 and a material transfer assembly 62 mounted on the frame 1. The flipping assembly 61 includes a No. 5 linear module 611 mounted on the frame 1 along the Y-axis, a No. 5 sliding frame 612 mounted on the output end of the No. 5 linear module 611, a No. 5 lifting frame 613 mounted vertically on the No. 5 sliding frame 612, a No. 5 cylinder A614 mounted on the No. 5 sliding frame 612 for driving the No. 5 lifting frame 613 to lift, a No. 5 swing seat 615 rotatably mounted on the No. 5 lifting frame 613, a No. 5 cylinder B616 mounted on the No. 5 lifting frame 613 along the Y-axis, a swing rod 617 with both ends hinged to the output end of the No. 5 cylinder and the No. 5 swing seat 615 respectively, and a No. 5 gripper cylinder 618 mounted on the No. 5 swing seat 615. The No. 5 cylinder B616 drives the swing rod 617 to swing the No. 5 swing seat 615.

[0055] In actual use, the initial state of the flipping assembly 61 receiving the product is as follows: the fifth lifting frame 613 is raised to a height where it can receive the product by the fifth cylinder A614, the fifth gripper cylinder 618 opens, and the fifth cylinder B616 drives the swing rod 617 to move the fifth swing seat 615, causing the opening of the fifth gripper cylinder 618 to face the carrier 25. When the product moves with the carrier 25 to the corresponding position in the Y-axis direction of the flipping assembly 61, the fifth linear module 611 drives the fifth sliding frame 612 to move towards the carrier 25, so that the finished product 30 in the carrier 25... The exposed part is located in the opening of the No. 5 gripper cylinder 618. Then, the No. 5 gripper cylinder 618 clamps the finished product 300 (at this time, the finished product 300 is in a horizontal state). Then, the carrier 25 opens, and the No. 5 linear module 611 drives the No. 5 sliding frame 612 to move to avoid interference with the movement of the carrier 25. Then, the No. 5 cylinder B616 drives the swing rod 617 to swing the No. 5 swing seat 615 90°, so that the No. 5 gripper cylinder 618 swings synchronously to flip the finished product 300 90° to a vertical state, so that the finished product 300 is located at the material picking position of the material transfer component 62.

[0056] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the feeding mechanism 6 facilitate automatic material picking from the carrier 25 and automatic turning of the finished product 300 after material picking, which facilitates further transfer.

[0057] Specifically: such as Figure 11 As shown, the material transfer assembly 62 includes a No. 6 seat 621 mounted on the frame 1, a No. 6 linear module A622 mounted on the No. 6 seat 621 along the X-axis, a No. 6 linear module B623 mounted vertically at the output end of the No. 6 linear module A622, a No. 6 plate 624 mounted at the output end of the No. 6 linear module B623, and a No. 6 gripper cylinder 625 mounted on the No. 6 plate 624.

[0058] In actual use, when the finished product 300 is in a vertical position, the sixth linear module B623 drives the sixth plate 624 to move the opened sixth gripper cylinder 625 downward, so that the sixth cylinder gripper clamps the finished product 300 held by the fifth cylinder gripper. Then, the fifth gripper cylinder 618 releases its grip on the finished product 300, and the sixth linear module A622 drives the sixth linear module B623 to move along the X-axis towards the receiving mechanism 7 to the unloading position. After reaching the unloading position, the sixth linear module B623 drives the sixth gripper cylinder 625 to move downward, and the sixth gripper cylinder 625 places the finished product 300 in the receiving mechanism 7.

[0059] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the material transfer component 62 facilitate the transfer of products.

[0060] Specifically: such as Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the receiving mechanism 7 includes a support frame 71 mounted on a frame 1 with a track extending along the Y-axis, several feeding frames 72 arranged along the track, a No. 7 linear module 73 mounted on the support frame 71 along the Y-axis, a No. 7 seat 74 mounted at the output end of the No. 7 linear module 73, a No. 7 lifting frame 75 vertically slidably mounted on the No. 7 seat 74, a No. 7 cylinder A76 mounted on the No. 7 seat 74 for driving the No. 7 lifting frame 75 to rise and fall, two No. 7 cylinders B77 respectively hinged to both sides of the No. 7 lifting frame 75, and a clamping plate 78 with one end hinged to the output end of the No. 7 cylinder B77. The clamping plate 78 is hinged to the No. 7 lifting frame 75 in the middle. The No. 7 cylinder B77 drives the clamping plate 78 to rotate so that the clamping plate 78 and the No. 7 lifting frame 75 clamp the feeding frames 72.

[0061] It should be noted that the support frame 71 is provided with support slots arranged along the Y-axis, and one support slot holds one finished product 300.

[0062] In actual use, cylinder A76 drives lifting frame 75 to raise cylinder B77, so that one side of the material feeding frame 72 to be clamped is located in the clamping groove formed by clamping plate 78 and lifting frame 75. Then, cylinder B77 drives clamping plate 78 to cooperate with lifting frame 75 to clamp one of the material feeding frames 72. After each finished product 300 is placed into the material feeding frame 72, linear module 73 drives seat 74 to move along the Y-axis, causing the clamped material feeding frame 72 to move synchronously by one unit distance until a material feeding frame 72 is completely filled. Then, cylinder B77 drives clamping plate 78 to open, cylinder A76 drives lifting frame 75 to move down, and linear module 73 drives seat 74 to move to the corresponding position of the next material feeding frame 72.

[0063] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the receiving mechanism 7 facilitate the movement of the feeding frame 72 and facilitate the receiving of materials by the feeding frame 72.

[0064] The second embodiment provided in this application is an automatic assembly method for aluminum target strip 100 and tantalum core 200, using the aforementioned automatic assembly equipment for aluminum target strip 100 and tantalum core 200, including the following steps: S1, the carrier circulation mechanism 2 first receives the aluminum target strip 100 provided by the target strip feeding mechanism; S2, the carrier circulation mechanism 2 receives the tantalum core 200 provided by the tantalum core feeding mechanism 4; S3, the welding mechanism 5 welds the tantalum core 200 to the aluminum target strip 100 to form a finished product 300; S4, the unloading mechanism 6 transfers the finished product 300 from the carrier circulation mechanism 2 to the receiving mechanism 7.

[0065] The above design enables automatic feeding, welding, unloading, and collection of aluminum target strip 100 and tantalum core 200, achieving a high degree of automation.
