[0032] A plurality of potentiometers 60 are arranged in the same posture and enter the conveying channel 10 from the feed port 101; the pneumatic component 20 drives the potentiometer 60 to move along the conveying channel 10, the limit component stops the potentiometer 60 at the preparation position, the control system controls the limit component to release the first potentiometer 60, and the pneumatic component 20 blows the first potentiometer 60 to the adjustment position, the limit component limits the first potentiometer 60 at the adjustment position, and the limit component limits the second potentiometer 60 at the preparation position; when the shaping component shapes the pin 610 of the first potentiometer 60 into a standard shape, The limit assembly releases the first potentiometer 60, and the pneumatic assembly 20 blows the first potentiometer 60 to the test position; the limit assembly and the pneumatic assembly 20 cooperate to send the second potentiometer 60 to the adjustment position, and limit the third potentiometer 60 to the preparation position; when the test assembly completes the test of the first potentiometer 60, the test assembly sends the test result of the first potentiometer 60 to the control system, and the control system compares the test result with the preset resistance to determine whether the potentiometer 60 is qualified, and screens the qualified potentiometers 60 through the screening assembly.

[0033] The preparation position is close to the feed port 101 of the conveying channel 10 , and the test position is close to the discharge port 102 .

[0034] In some embodiments, the number of pins 610 of the potentiometer 60 may be three and arranged in a triangle shape. The portion of the potentiometer 60 other than the pins 610 is in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the end of the potentiometer 60 away from the pins 610 has an adjustment cap 620. When the potentiometer 60 is placed in the conveying channel 10, the adjustment cap 620 abuts against the side wall of the conveying channel 10, that is, the side wall of the conveying channel 10 relative to the receiving port 103.

[0035] In some embodiments, the conveying channel 10 , the pneumatic component 20 , the limiting component, the shaping component, the testing component, the screening component and the control system can all be arranged on the workbench 70 .

[0036] The conveying channel 10 may be in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped as a whole, and the cross section of the conveying channel 10 may be in the shape of a . When the conveying channel 10 is placed on the workbench 70, the receiving opening 103 of the conveying channel 10 is oriented parallel to the plane of the workbench 70. In some embodiments, the extending direction of the conveying channel 10 may be parallel to the workbench 70. In other embodiments, the extending direction of the conveying channel 10 may also be arranged at a certain angle to the workbench 70, and the feed opening 101 is located above the discharge opening 102.

[0037] The conveying channel 10 may be made of metal material, so that the conveying channel 10 has high strength and a relatively smooth surface, so that the potentiometer 60 can slide in the conveying channel 10 .

[0038] It should be noted that the multiple potentiometers 60 can be manually sorted before entering the conveying channel 10; or the multiple potentiometers 60 can be automatically sorted into a row using a sorting device. The sorting device is a prior art, such as the invention patent with publication number CN106710761A, a potentiometer assembly machine, and the vibration disk disclosed therein is the sorting device.

[0039] The power supply of the potentiometer 60 testing device can be an external AC power supply or a mobile power supply. The power supply can be selected according to needs.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, the pneumatic component 20 includes an air pipe and an air pump; the air pump is electrically connected to the control system; one end of the air pipe is connected to the air pump, and the other end of the air pipe is a free end and connected to the receiving port 103.

[0041] In this embodiment, the air pump can be arranged on the workbench 70, and the air delivery pipe can be a metal pipe with deformation ability, such as a copper pipe. The air delivery pipe is bent as needed so that the end of the air delivery pipe faces the receiving port 103. The tangent direction of the end of the air delivery pipe can be arranged at an angle with the extension direction of the delivery channel 10. For example, the delivery channel 10 is placed horizontally on the workbench 70, and the air delivery pipe extends obliquely downward from the top of the delivery channel 10 toward the inside of the delivery channel 10, so that the gas blown out of the air delivery pipe can drive the potentiometer 60 to slide in the delivery channel 10.

[0042] As an optional implementation, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The limit assembly includes an electric push rod 310; the conveying channel 10 is provided with a mounting hole 104 which is perpendicular to the extending direction of the conveying channel 10; the electric push rod 310 cooperates with the mounting hole 104; the electric push rod 310 is used to limit or release the potentiometer 60 from the feed port 101 to the discharge port 102.

[0043] In this embodiment, one end of the electric push rod 310 is fixed on the workbench 70, and the other end of the electric push rod 310 has a telescopic rod and the telescopic rod cooperates with the mounting hole 104. When the telescopic rod extends from the mounting hole 104 into the inner side of the conveying channel 10, the side wall of the telescopic rod abuts against the side of the potentiometer 60 close to the discharge port 102, thereby limiting the movement of the potentiometer 60. At this time, the side of the potentiometer 60 away from the discharge port 102 is close to the air supply pipe of the pneumatic component 20.

[0044] The number of the limiting components is the same as the number of the pneumatic components 20 .

[0045] As an optional implementation, refer to Figure 1The limiting assembly also includes a positioning member 320; the conveying channel 10 is provided with a positioning hole 105 which is perpendicular to the extending direction of the conveying channel 10; the axis of the positioning hole 105 intersects perpendicularly with the axis of the mounting hole 104; one end of the positioning member 320 is fixed on the workbench 70, and the other end of the positioning member 320 cooperates with the positioning hole 105 and can move along the positioning hole 105; the positioning member 320 has the ability to extend or shorten. The positioning member 320 can be a cylinder rod, a hydraulic rod, an electric push rod, etc. The positioning member 320 can be located above the conveying channel 10.

[0046] When the potentiometers 60 are arranged to enter the conveying channel 10, the adjacent potentiometers 60 abut against each other. The electric push rod 310 limits the movement of the first potentiometer 60 along the conveying channel 10, and the positioning member 320 passes through the positioning hole 105 and abuts against the side wall of the second potentiometer 60 to limit the movement of the second potentiometer 60; at this time, after the electric push rod 310 moves away from the conveying channel 10 along the mounting hole 104, the pneumatic component 20 blows air toward the first potentiometer 60, and the first potentiometer 60 slides along the conveying channel 10 under the force, and the second potentiometer 60 remains stationary under the action of the positioning member 320, and the rear potentiometer 60 is limited by the second potentiometer 60. Until the first potentiometer 60 is shaped, the electric push rod 310 is inserted into the conveying channel 10 again along the mounting hole 104, and the positioning piece 320 releases the second potentiometer 60, and the second potentiometer 60 and the rear potentiometer 60 move along the conveying channel 10. At this time, the second potentiometer 60 abuts against the electric push rod 310, and the positioning piece 320 is inserted into the conveying channel 10 along the positioning hole 105 and abuts against the third potentiometer 60, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the potentiometers 60 one by one.

[0047] The main function of the positioning member 320 is to prevent the next potentiometer 60 from sliding along the conveying passage 10 due to the influence of the pneumatic assembly 20 when the pneumatic assembly 20 blows the previous potentiometer 60 .

[0048] As an optional embodiment, the shaping component includes a third moving mechanism 910 and a third slider 920 connected to each other and a fourth moving mechanism 930 and a fourth slider 940 connected to each other; the third slider 920 and the fourth slider 940 are respectively located on both sides of the extension direction of the conveying channel 10; the third slider 920 is provided with a second slot 9201 for clamping the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60, and the fourth slider 940 is provided with a second block 9410 that cooperates with the second slot 9201; the cross-sections of the second slot 9201 and the second block 9410 are V-shaped.

[0049] In this embodiment, the third moving mechanism 910 and the third slider 920 may be located below the conveying channel 10, and the fourth moving mechanism 930 and the fourth slider 940 may be located above the conveying channel 10. When shaping the pins 610 of the potentiometer 60, it is necessary to ensure that when the potentiometer 60 is placed in the conveying channel 10, the triangle formed by the pins 610 of the potentiometer 60 is upright, that is, one vertex of the triangle is located above the two vertices.

[0050] Usually, the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60 may deflect during the preparation process. When the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60 is clamped by the third slider 920 and the fourth slider 940, the third moving mechanism 910 is first controlled to move toward the pin 610 so that the pin 610 first falls into the second slot 9201, and then the fourth moving mechanism 930 is controlled to move downward so that the second clamping block 9410 abuts the pin 610 against the bottom of the second slot 9201, thereby shaping the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60. The depth of the second slot 9201 and the spacing between adjacent second slots 9201 determine the shape of the pin 610 of the standard potentiometer 60, and the operator can design the position and size of the second slot 9201 as needed.

[0051] As an optional implementation, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The test assembly includes a first moving mechanism 410, a conductive member 420 and a tester 430; the tester 430 is used to test the resistance of the potentiometer 60; the conductive member 420 is electrically connected to the tester 430; the first moving mechanism 410 is used to drive the conductive member 420 to contact or move away from the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60.

[0052] In this embodiment, the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60 extends out of the receiving opening 103, and the conductive member 420 and the first moving mechanism 410 are both located on the side of the conveying passage 10. When the potentiometer 60 moves to the testing position, the limiting assembly limits the potentiometer 60, and at this time, the first moving mechanism 410 drives the conductive member 420 to move toward the potentiometer 60, and finally the conductive member 420 contacts the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60, and then the potentiometer 60 is tested by the tester 430.

[0053] The first moving mechanism 410 may be an electric push rod, a cylinder rod, a hydraulic rod, a screw motor, etc. The direction in which the first moving mechanism 410 drives the conductive member 420 to move may be perpendicular to the moving direction of the electric push rod 310 .

[0054] The conductive member 420 contacts the three pins 610 of the potentiometer 60 at the same time. A corresponding circuit can be set between the conductive member 420 and the tester 430 so that the tester 430 can connect any two of the three pins 610 to test the resistance of the potentiometer 60 .

[0055] As an optional implementation, refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The conductive member 420 includes a first slider 4210 and a contact 4220; the first slider 4210 is provided with a first slot 42101, and the contact 4220 is located at the bottom of the first slot 42101; the first moving mechanism 410 is used to drive the first slider 4210 to move so that the first slot 42101 is engaged with or disengaged from the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60, and the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60 can abut against the contact 4220.

[0056] The number of the first card slots 42101 is the same as the number of the pins 610 of the potentiometer 60. In some embodiments, the first moving mechanism 410 and the first slider 4210 are located below the conveying channel 10, the openings of the first card slots 42101 face upward, one of the first card slots 42101 is shallower, and the other two first card slots 42101 are deeper; the first moving mechanism 410 drives the first slider 4210 to move from bottom to top, so that the contact 4220 contacts the pins 610 of the potentiometer 60. It should be noted that the gap between the upper end surface of the potentiometer 60 and the conveying channel 10 can be set to a smaller value to prevent the first slider 4210 from driving the potentiometer 60 to move upward.

[0057] In other embodiments, the first moving mechanism 410 and the first slider 4210 are located above the conveying channel 10, and the opening of the first slot 42101 faces downward, one of the first slots 42101 is deeper, and the other two first slots 42101 are shallower; the first moving mechanism 410 drives the first slider 4210 to move from top to bottom, so that the contact 4220 contacts the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60.

[0058] As an optional implementation, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , also includes a second moving mechanism 810 and a second slider 820 connected to each other; the first slider 4210 and the second slider 820 are respectively located on both sides of the extension direction of the conveying channel 10; the second slider 820 is provided with a first card block 8210 that cooperates with the first card slot 42101.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first moving mechanism 410 and the first slider 4210 are located below the conveying channel 10, and the opening of the first slot 42101 faces upward. The second moving mechanism 810 and the second slider 820 are located above the conveying channel 10. The second moving mechanism 810 can be fixed on the workbench 70 (the connection structure between the second moving mechanism 810 and the workbench 70 is not shown in the figure). The second moving mechanism 810 drives the second slider 820 to move from top to bottom. The first slider 4210 and the second slider 820 clamp the potentiometer 60 from both sides, so that the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60 is further shaped, and the contact 4220 is in close contact with the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60.

[0060] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the first slot 42101 and the first block 8210 can be V-shaped. The V-shaped slot facilitates the embedding of the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60. In addition, the V-shaped slot has a shaping effect on the pin 610 of the potentiometer 60, so that the position of the pin 610 of each potentiometer 60 can be more uniform so that the contact 4220 can contact the pin 610.

[0061] As an optional implementation, refer to Figure 1 The screening component includes a screening channel 510 and a sealing mechanism; one end of the screening channel 510 is connected to the discharge port 102, and the other end of the screening channel 510 is a first screening port 5101; the screening channel 510 is provided with a second screening port 5102, and the potentiometer 60 can be discharged from the second screening port 5102 under the action of gravity; the sealing mechanism is electrically connected to the control system, and the sealing mechanism is used to seal the second screening port 5102.

[0062] In this embodiment, after the test component completes the test of the potentiometer 60 at the test position, the limit component at the test position releases the potentiometer 60, the pneumatic component 20 blows air to the potentiometer 60, and the potentiometer 60 enters the screening channel 510 from the discharge port 102. If the resistance of the potentiometer 60 is qualified, the control system controls the sealing mechanism to seal the second screening port 5102, and the potentiometer 60 is discharged from the first screening port 5101; if the resistance of the potentiometer 60 is unqualified, the control system controls the sealing mechanism to open the second screening port 5102, and the potentiometer 60 is discharged from the second screening port 5102.

[0063] In this embodiment, the sealing mechanism includes a cover plate 521 and a sealing motor; one end of the cover plate 521 is hinged to the screening channel 510, and the other end of the cover plate 521 is a free end; the sealing motor is arranged on the screening channel 510 and is used to drive the cover plate 521 to rotate around the screening channel 510, and the sealing motor can be a steering gear. When the cover plate 521 seals the second screening port 5102, the cover plate 521 is flush with the inner wall of the screening channel 510, so that the potentiometer 60 will not collide when sliding along the screening channel 510, so that the potentiometer 60 can smoothly reach the first screening port 5101.
