Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufacturing, in particular to a conveying and clamping device for aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits, typically offering high capacitance and relatively low cost. They primarily consist of an anode foil, cathode foil, electrolytic paper, and electrolyte. The anode foil is typically high-purity aluminum foil that has undergone an electrochemical etching process to increase its surface area. The cathode foil serves as a connection between the electrolyte and the terminal leads. The electrolytic paper, sandwiched between the two sheets of aluminum foil, provides isolation and support, while the electrolyte, which fills the micropores of the electrolytic paper, serves both as a conductor and insulator.

[0003] When aluminum electrolytic capacitors are shipped in batches, they are typically transported to specific containers using conveyor belts. However, cylindrical capacitors are prone to misalignment during transport, requiring manual placement of the capacitors at the conveyor output into the container. This significantly limits operational efficiency. Furthermore, because aluminum electrolytic capacitors have metal electrodes of varying or equal lengths, they can easily scratch workers when handling them. Utility Model Content

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a conveying and clamping device for aluminum electrolytic capacitors disclosed in the present invention includes a conveyor belt 100, a clamping plate 200, a pressing plate 300, and a limiting plate 400. There are two groups of conveyor belts 100, and the two groups of conveyor belts 100 are arranged side by side with an interval, and the interval between the two conveyor belts 100 is smaller than the diameter of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 30. There are two clamping plates 200, and the two clamping plates 200 are arranged relative to each other to form an open conveying trough 210 above the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 100. The width of the conveying trough 210 matches the diameter of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 30, so that the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 30 can be limited in the conveying trough 210. The pressing plate 300 is provided at the opening of the conveying trough 210. When the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 30 is limited in the conveying trough 210, the bottom of the pressing plate 300 presses against the upper end face of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 30 (this end face is not provided with a metal electrode 31). The limiting plate 400 is located between the two sets of conveyor belts 100. To facilitate the placement of the metal electrode 31, an extension slot 410 is provided in the middle of the limiting plate 400. The extension direction of the extension slot 410 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 100, and the height of the limiting plate 400 is no higher than the height of the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 100. With this arrangement, when the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 30 is limited in the conveying slot 210, the lower end surface of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 30 is pressed against the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 100, while the metal electrode 31 is inserted into the extension slot 210. When the conveyor belt 100 moves, the conveyor belt 100 drives the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 30 to move together.

[0027] In this embodiment, the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 30 is stably limited in the conveying trough 210 through the cooperation of the conveyor belt 100, the clamping plate 200, the pressure plate 300, and the limiting plate 400. At the same time, the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 30 can be transported in batches in sequence through the movement of the conveyor belt 100. Compared with the existing technology, the aluminum electrolytic capacitors 30 are always arranged in order during the transmission process, and there is no need to sort and place them subsequently, which is more efficient. In addition, there is no need to take the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 30 subsequently, which avoids the metal electrodes 31 scratching the operators.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present invention, the left clamping plate 200 is movably mounted on the left conveyor belt 100, and the right clamping plate 200 is movably mounted on the right conveyor belt 100. This arrangement can form conveying troughs 210 of different sizes, thereby being able to convey aluminum electrolytic capacitors 30 of different diameters, thereby increasing the versatility of the conveying and clamping device for aluminum electrolytic capacitors in this embodiment.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 、 Figure 5As shown, the left clamping plate 200 can be slidably mounted on the left conveyor belt 100, while the right clamping plate 200 can be slidably mounted on the right conveyor belt 100. Specifically, a sliding hole 220 is provided on the clamping plate 200, and a slider (not shown in the drawings) is provided on the conveyor belt 100. The slider is inserted into the sliding hole 220. The conveyor belt 100 is provided with a telescopic mechanism (not shown in the drawings). When the telescopic mechanism is in operation, the slider is driven to slide in the sliding hole 220, thereby forming conveying troughs 210 of different sizes between the two clamping plates 200.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the pressing plate 300 is movably provided on the conveyor belt 100 so as to move up and down relative to the conveyor belt 100 . In this way, when the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 30 is limited in the conveying trough 210 , the bottom of the pressing plate 300 moves downward until it presses against the upper end surface of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 30 .

[0031] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the conveying and clamping device for aluminum electrolytic capacitors also includes a lifting structure 500. The lifting mechanism 500 has a fixed end and a telescopic end. The fixed end is fixed to the conveyor belt 100, and the telescopic end is connected to the pressure plate 300. When the telescopic end extends and retracts, it drives the pressure plate 300 to move up and down relative to the conveyor belt 100.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the lifting mechanism 500 includes a stand 510, a guide post 520, a slide 530, and a first drive mechanism 540. The stand 510 is fixed to the conveyor belt 100, the guide post 520 is fixed to the stand 510, the slide 530 is slidably mounted on the guide post 520, the pressure plate 300 is fixed to the slide 530, and the first drive mechanism 540 is connected to the slide 530. When the first drive mechanism 540 is in operation, it drives the slide 530 to slide up and down on the guide post 520, thereby driving the pressure plate 300 to move up and down relative to the conveyor belt 100.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the first drive mechanism 540 includes a rotary motor 541 and a screw 542. The rotary motor 541 is fixed to the end of the guide post 520 away from the stand 510. The upper end of the screw 542 is connected to the rotating shaft of the rotary motor 541, and the shaft of the screw 542 is threadedly connected to the slide 530. As such, when the rotary motor 541 drives the screw 542 to rotate, the guide post 520 limits the rotation of the slide 530, so that the slide 530 can only move up and down along the guide post 520, thereby driving the pressing plate 300 to move up and down.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the conveyor belt 100 includes a frame 110, a rotating wheel 120, a belt 130, and a second drive mechanism 140. The rotating wheel 120 is rotatably mounted on a side surface of the frame 110. The belt 130 is wound around the rotating wheel 120 to form a closed loop transmission path. The second drive mechanism 140 is power-connected to at least one of the rotating wheels 120. Optionally, the second drive mechanism 140 can be powered by a rotary motor, a rotary cylinder, a rotary hydraulic cylinder, or other power devices.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, in order to maintain the positional relationship between the two conveyor belts 100 , adjacent racks 110 are connected via fixed columns 111 .

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
