Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrolytic capacitor processing, in particular to an automatic cleaning device for electrolytic capacitor processing. Background Technique
[0002] An electrolytic capacitor is a type of capacitor. It uses a metal foil as the positive electrode (aluminum or tantalum), and the oxide film (aluminum oxide or tantalum pentoxide) in close contact with the positive electrode is the dielectric. The cathode is composed of a conductive material, an electrolyte (the electrolyte can be liquid or solid), and other materials. Since the electrolyte is the main part of the cathode, the electrolytic capacitor gets its name. At the same time, the positive and negative of the electrolytic capacitor cannot be connected wrongly.
[0003] The capacitor housing, as the main carrier of the capacitor components, will have debris and other sundries attached to its surface during production. Therefore, after the capacitor housing is produced, it needs to be cleaned. Most of the existing cleaning devices use an ultrasonic cleaning machine for cleaning. When in use, the capacitor housing is placed in a water tank, and through the operation of the ultrasonic transducer, the sundries on the surface of the capacitor housing are removed. However, when taking out the material, since some of the lighter sundries will float on the water surface, when the capacitor housing is taken out, some of them may adhere to the capacitor housing again, affecting the cleaning effect of the capacitor housing. And if the existing cleaning device needs to be cleaned repeatedly, it is also necessary to pause the cleaning process and then replace the water in the water tank. Content of the Utility Model

[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.
[0027] Refer to Figures 1 - 6, An automatic cleaning device for electrolytic capacitor processing, including a box body 1. Water tanks 2 are provided at the top of both ends of the box body 1. A drain pipe 26 is provided at one end of the bottom of the water tank 2. The drain pipe 26 fixedly penetrates the side of the box body 1. Several ultrasonic transducers 3 arranged at intervals are installed at one end in the water tank 2. Under the action of the ultrasonic transducers 3, the capacitor shell placed in the water tank 2 is cleaned; the setting of the double water tank 2 allows the two water tanks 2 to alternately clean the capacitor shell when multiple cleanings are required or when the water in the water tank 2 needs to be replaced, avoiding the operation of shutting down and pausing, and thus delaying the cleaning progress of the capacitor shell.
[0028] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a water baffle 21 is provided on one side of one of the water tanks 2 away from the support column 4. The water baffle 21 is fixed on the top of the box body 1, and the bottom of the water baffle 21 is inclined towards the water tank 2. A cross-flow fan 18 is installed on the side of the support column 4 close to the water baffle 21. The cross-flow fan 18 corresponds to the placement rack. An air hood 19 is installed at the air outlet of the cross-flow fan 18, and a plurality of guide plates 20 arranged at intervals are provided in the air hood 19. A heating element is installed on the side of the air hood 19 close to the cross-flow fan 18. When the capacitor shell is taken out from the water tank 2 on the side close to the water baffle 21, the cross-flow fan 18 blows hot air towards the capacitor shell to dry the cleaned capacitor shell; in the actual use process, the air hood 19 is a wide-mouth hood, and the guide plates 20 blow the air blown out by the cross-flow fan 18 in a dispersed direction outward, so as to ensure the contact effect between the hot air and the capacitor shell. Moreover, the water baffle 21 is arranged opposite to the cross-flow fan 18, and the water baffle 21 can block the water blown out outward during the drying process to prevent the cleaning water from spilling outside the device and thus polluting the environment; among them, the electric heating element is one of an electric heating wire and a heating rod.
[0029] As Figure 2 shown, a cavity 22 is opened on the outer side of one end of the water tank 2 away from the ultrasonic transducer 3, and a water pump 24 is arranged inside the cavity 22. The inlet of the water pump 24 is connected to the water suction port 23 through a conduit, and the water suction port 23 is opened on the inner top of the water tank 2. The outlet of the water pump 24 is connected to a sewage pipe 25, and the other end of the sewage pipe 25 extends from the bottom of the box body 1 to the outside of the box body 1. When the capacitor shell is placed in the water tank 2 for cleaning, the water pump 24 will start operating at the same time, so as to pump the water at the upper water level out of the water tank 2, and then pump out the sewage floating on the water surface, so that the water above the water tank 2 remains clear, which is beneficial for the capacitor shell not to come into contact with the sewage on the water surface when taken out, and thus not to be contaminated with sundries and stains again; in the actual use process, a water inlet pipe connected to an external water source is placed inside the top of the water tank 2 to add clean water for cleaning to the water tank 2.
[0030] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, a support column 4 is vertically installed at the middle position of the top of the box body 1. A support frame 5 is provided at the upper end of the support column 4. At the top of one end of the support frame 5, a driving motor 6 is installed. The bottom of the driving motor 6 is connected to the bottom of a rotating shaft 7 which is fixed on the support column 4, and the rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the support frame 5. At the other end of the support frame 5, a placement rack for placing the electrolytic capacitor housing is provided, and a lifting mechanism 11 is installed on the placement rack. The lifting mechanism 11 is fixed on the support frame 5. Under the operation of the driving motor 6, the support frame 5 can be driven to rotate, and the lifting mechanism 11 provides a lifting function for the placement rack, so as to facilitate the taking out and putting in of the capacitor housing in the water tank 2. In the actual use process, the lifting mechanism 11 is one of an electric lifting rod, a cylinder, and a hydraulic cylinder.
[0031] Among them, as Figure 5 shown, the placement rack includes a U-shaped frame 12 with both ends bent downward in an "L" shape. The top of the U-shaped frame 12 is connected to the bottom of the lifting mechanism 11. A number of support rods 13 arranged at intervals are installed at both ends inside the U-shaped frame 12. Hooks 14 are connected to the lower ends of the ends of the support rods 13. As Figure 6 shown, the placement rack further includes a number of placement baskets. Each placement basket includes two frames 15 arranged parallel to each other up and down. The corners of the two frames 15 are correspondingly connected by connecting rods 16. And metal meshes are provided at the edges between the two frames 15 and at the bottom of the lowermost frame 15. The metal meshes are fixed on the frames 15. Handles 17 are installed at both ends of the uppermost frame 15. The handles 17 correspond to the hooks 14. In actual use, the handles 17 are "U"-shaped rods with the openings facing downward, and the tops thereof are bent toward the end away from the frames 15, so that both ends of the handles 17 can be hung on the hooks 14 at both ends of the support rods 13 at the same time to ensure the stability of the placement basket during installation. And the setting of multiple placement baskets can clean more capacitor housings at the same time, and can place multiple capacitor housings separately, so as to ensure that after the capacitor housings are placed in the water tank 2, they can be in more sufficient contact with the clean water.
[0032] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the support frame 5 during rotation, as Figure 4 shown, an annular guide rail 8 is installed at the top of the support column 4, and a number of sliders 9 are slidably installed on the guide rail 8. The sliders 9 are connected to the support frame 5 through a connecting frame 10.
[0033] Specifically, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a control cabinet 28 is installed on one side of the box body 1. A controller is arranged inside the control cabinet 28. The controller is respectively connected with an ultrasonic transducer 3, a water pump 24, a driving motor 6, a lifting mechanism 11, a cross-flow fan 18, and a heating element through wires. The controller is one of a PLC controller, a control host, and a control main board. During actual use, a touch display is also installed on one side of the control cabinet 28 to facilitate the operator to control and operate the cleaning device.
[0034] During use, first take the placement basket, disperse the capacitor casings to be cleaned in multiple placement baskets, then hang the placement baskets on the hooks 14, and then rotate the placement baskets away from the water baffle 21 above the water tank 2 through the rotation of the support frame 5. Under the operation of the lifting mechanism 11, place the capacitor casings into the water tank 2, and turn on the ultrasonic transducer 3 to start cleaning the capacitor casings. After cleaning, turn on the water pump 24 to pump out the stains and sundries floating on the water surface of the water tank 2. Then, lift the placement basket through the lifting mechanism 11, and under the operation of the driving motor 6, turn the placement basket to another water tank 2 and lower it into the water tank 2 for re-cleaning. After cleaning, the lifting mechanism 11 will lift the placement basket again. Subsequently, the cross-flow fan 18 and the electric heating element start to operate to dry the capacitor casings. After drying, the placement basket can be removed and the capacitor casings in the placement basket can be taken away.
[0035] It should be further noted that as Figure 1 shown in the figure, at least one guide shaft 27 is arranged in parallel on the side of the lifting mechanism 11. The bottom of the guide shaft 27 is fixed on the U-shaped frame 12, and the top of the guide shaft 27 slidably penetrates through the support frame 5, which not only improves the connection strength between the U-shaped frame 12 and the lifting mechanism 11, ensures the stability of the U-shaped frame 12 on the lifting mechanism 11, but also provides a guiding effect for the lifting of the U-shaped frame 12, and improves the stability of the U-shaped frame 12 during lifting.
[0036] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
