[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore, should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0036] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0037] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.

[0038] The existing inverted electronic devices with pins are packaged with the pins facing upwards. During operation, the workers need to take the materials with their backhands, turn around and insert them. The whole operation is time-consuming, difficult to operate, and has high labor intensity on the wrists of the workers. Therefore, it is of great significance to automatically flip the inverted electronic devices with electronic pins to reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency.

[0039] The automatic feeding device includes a loading assembly and a flipping channel. The loading assembly is used to load electronic devices; the flipping channel is used to flip electronic devices. The flipping channel is tilted and spirally arranged in the direction of the central axis of the flipping channel. The high end of the flipping channel has a feed port, which is connected to the loading assembly. The low end of the flipping channel has a discharge port. Therefore, the automatic feeding device can realize the automatic flipping and steering of inverted electronic devices. It can automatically flip and steering without power input, and does not require manual backhand material removal, which reduces labor intensity and improves work efficiency.

[0040] Furthermore, a discharge component is arranged near the discharge port, and when the electronic device is discharged from the flip channel, it directly contacts the discharge component for discharge, and the discharge time is controllable, which can ensure that each electronic device is discharged, and the problem of leakage discharge can be avoided.

[0041] The following is combined with Figure 1-7 , explain the automatic feeding device:

[0042] The automatic feeding device comprises a feeding assembly 2 and a turning channel 3.

[0043] In some embodiments, the automatic feeding device includes a frame 1, and the loading assembly 2 and the turning channel 3 are both installed on the frame 1.

[0044] The loading assembly 2 is used for loading electronic devices, and the loading assembly 2 is used for loading the electronic devices into the flip channel 3 .

[0045] The electronic device is an inverted incoming material packaged electronic device in which the pins are placed upwards in order to protect the pins.

[0046] In some embodiments, the electronic device may be an electrolytic capacitor.

[0047] The flip channel 3 is used to flip the electronic device so as to flip the electronic device from a placement state with the pins facing upward to a placement state with the pins facing downward.

[0048] In some embodiments, the flip channel 3 is used to flip the electronic device 180 degrees to flip the electronic device with the pins facing upward to a state with the pins facing downward. When the electronic device is in the pin-down state, it can be convenient for staff or lower-level equipment to pick up, reduce labor intensity and improve work efficiency.

[0049] like Figure 4 , 7 As shown, the flip channel 3 is tilted, that is, the central axis of the flip channel 3 is tilted, and the central axis of the flip channel 3 is set at a certain angle to the horizontal plane. Therefore, the electronic device can slide along the tilted flip channel 3 under the action of its own gravity, and the electronic device can be automatically flipped and turned without power input.

[0050] In the direction of the central axis of the turning channel 3 , the turning channel 3 is arranged in a spiral shape.

[0051] A high end of the turning channel 3 is provided with a feed port 31 , and the feed port 31 is used to receive the electronic components of the loading assembly 2 .

[0052] The lower end of the flip channel 3 is provided with a discharge port 32 , and the discharge port 32 is used to discharge the electronic components in the flip channel 3 out of the flip channel 3 .

[0053] When the electronic device is at the feed port 31 of the flip channel 3, the pins face upward, and when it is at the discharge port 32 of the flip channel 3, the pins face downward. The inclined spiral flip channel realizes the flipping of the pin direction when the electronic device slides along the flip channel 3 under the action of its own gravity.

[0054] In order to facilitate the flip channel 3 to receive the electronic components of the loading assembly 2, a flared portion 311 is formed at the feed port 31.

[0055] The expansion portion 311 gradually increases in size in a direction away from the turnover channel 3 .

[0056] In some embodiments, the flared portion 311 and the flip channel 3 are two components that are connected and assembled.

[0057] In some embodiments, the flared portion 311 and the flip channel 3 are one component, and the two are integrally formed.

[0058] In order to facilitate the receipt of electronic devices discharged from the discharge port 32, a discharge portion 321 is provided at the discharge port 32. The discharge portion 321 has a receiving groove, which is connected to the discharge port 32. After the electronic devices with pins facing downward are discharged from the discharge port 32, the pins of the electronic devices are kept facing downward in the receiving groove, so as to facilitate the staff or the lower-level equipment to take them.

[0059] In some embodiments, the discharge portion 321 and the turning channel 3 are two components, which are connected and assembled.

[0060] In some embodiments, the discharge portion 321 and the flip channel 3 are one component, and the two are integrally formed.

[0061] During the product manufacturing process, in order to improve product quality assurance, the electronic devices need to be grounded to release residual electricity before they can be inserted into the production. Therefore, the automatic feeding device includes a discharge component, which is located near the discharge port 32. The discharge component is used to contact the electronic device to discharge the electronic device.

[0062] In some embodiments, the discharge member is located at the discharge portion 321 , and when the electronic device enters the discharge portion 321 , the pins of the electronic device contact the discharge member to discharge.

[0063] In some embodiments, the discharge member is located on the bottom wall of the receiving groove of the discharge portion 321 .

[0064] The discharge member is a conductor and can be in the shape of a sheet.

[0065] exist Figure 5In the example, the height of the flip channel 3 is adapted to or slightly larger than the height of the electronic device, and the width of the flip channel 3 is adapted to or slightly larger than the width of the electronic device, so as to ensure that the electronic device can slide smoothly in the flip channel 3 and avoid adjacent electronic devices from being stuck in the flip channel 3.

[0066] The electronic device includes the electronic device body and the pins. Since the pins are relatively fragile and easy to bend and deform, in order to protect the pins, Figure 6 In the example, the flip channel 3 includes an electronic device body channel portion 33 for accommodating the electronic device body and a pin channel portion 34 for accommodating the pins.

[0067] The size of the electronic device body channel portion 33 matches the size of the electronic device body or is slightly larger than the size of the electronic device body.

[0068] The size of the pin channel portion 34 matches the size of the pin or is slightly larger than the size of the pin.

[0069] The flip channel 3 includes the design of the electronic device body channel portion 33 and the pin channel portion 34 , which can ensure that the pins of the electronic device are protected during the smooth sliding of the electronic device in the flip channel 3 .

[0070] The feeding assembly 2 includes an inclined feeding plate 21 and two clamping plates 22 disposed on the inclined feeding plate 21 at a certain angle.

[0071] The inclined loading plate 21 is used to place electronic devices so that the electronic devices gradually move toward the turning channel 3 under the action of gravity.

[0072] The lower end of the clamping plate 22 corresponds to the feed opening 31 , and the clamping plate 22 is used to guide the electronic components on the loading plate 21 to the feed opening 31 .

[0073] The feeding assembly 2 comprises a clamping plate driving device 23 , which is used to drive at least one clamping plate 22 to move so as to adjust the distance between the lower ends of the clamping plates 22 .

[0074] When the distance between the lower ends of the clamping plates 22 is greater than the width of the electronic device, the electronic device can pass through the lower ends of the clamping plates 22 and enter the discharge port 32 .

[0075] When the distance between the lower ends of the clamping plates 22 is smaller than the width of the electronic device, the electronic device cannot pass through the lower ends of the clamping plates 22 .

[0076] The passage formed between the lower ends of the clamping plates 22 can ensure that the electronic devices pass through in order.

[0077] An electronic device detection device is arranged near the feed port to detect whether there are electronic devices.

[0078] In some embodiments, the electronic device detection apparatus may be a photoelectric sensor.

[0079] In some embodiments, the lower end of the clamping plate 22 extends into the flared portion 311 , and the electronic component detection device is located in the flared portion 311 .

[0080] In some embodiments, the clamping plate driving device 23 is a driving cylinder. The driving cylinder is located on the frame and connected to the clamping plate 22.

[0081] The top end of at least one clamp 22 is rotatably connected to the automatic feeding device, and the clamp 22 rotatably connected to the automatic feeding device is provided with a clamp driving device 23, and the clamp driving device 23 drives the clamp 22 to rotate to adjust the distance between the lower ends of the two clamps 22 to control whether the electronic components of the loading assembly 2 enter the feed port 31.

[0082] When the electronic device detection device detects the electronic device, the clamp driving device 23 drives the clamp 22 to rotate to adjust the distance between the lower ends of the two clamps 22. The two clamps 22 release the electronic devices and play a sorting role, thereby releasing the electronic devices in sequence and allowing the electronic devices to enter the feed port 31 in an orderly manner.

[0083] The automatic feeding device comprises a temporary material loading storage component 5 , and the temporary material loading storage component 5 comprises a temporary material loading storage part 51 and a temporary material loading storage part driving part 52 .

[0084] The loading temporary storage piece 51 is connected to the loading assembly 2 . The loading temporary storage piece 51 is used to temporarily store electronic components and provide electronic components for the loading assembly 2 .

[0085] Specifically, the loading temporary storage piece 51 is connected to the inclined loading plate 21 of the loading assembly 2 .

[0086] The discharge port of the temporary loading storage piece 51 is always connected to the high end of the inclined loading plate 21 of the loading assembly 2 , so that the electronic components in the temporary loading storage piece 51 can be loaded onto the loading assembly 2 .

[0087] In some embodiments, the discharge port of the temporary loading storage unit 51 is rotatably connected to the loading plate 21 .

[0088] In some embodiments, the discharge port of the loading temporary storage unit 51 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 .

[0089] The temporary loading storage member driving member 52 is used to drive the temporary loading storage member 51 to switch between a horizontal state and an inclined state.

[0090] In some embodiments, the loading temporary storage member driving member 52 is a driving cylinder located below the loading temporary storage member 51 . The driving cylinder is located on the frame and connected to the loading temporary storage member 51 .

[0091] When the loading temporary storage piece 51 is in a horizontal state, electronic devices can be placed on the loading temporary storage piece 51 and temporarily stored on the loading temporary storage piece 51. When the loading component 2 needs to be loaded, the loading temporary storage piece driving piece 52 drives the loading temporary storage piece 51 to rotate from a horizontal state to an inclined state, and the electronic devices on the loading temporary storage piece 51 slide down onto the loading component 2 under the action of gravity.

[0092] During operation, the electronic devices are placed in a layer on the loading temporary storage part 51 in a mode in which the incoming material packaging pins face upward; the loading temporary storage part driving part 52 drives the loading temporary storage part 51 to gradually rise and tilt from a horizontal state to an inclined state, and the electronic devices automatically slide down to the loading assembly; after all the electronic devices on the loading temporary storage part 51 enter the loading assembly 2, the loading temporary storage part driving part 52 drives the loading temporary storage part 51 to gradually fall from an inclined state to a horizontal state; after the electronic device detection device detects that the electronic devices are in place, the clamping plate driving device 23 drives the clamping plate 22 to move, so that the electronic devices enter the flipping channel 3 in turn; after the electronic devices pass through the flipping channel 3, they automatically turn around and flip to have the pins facing downward, and the pins of the electronic devices contact the discharge parts, thereby realizing the automatic turning and discharge of the electronic devices.

[0093] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it is still possible for a person skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or to replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents.
