[0002] Capacitors are components that store electricity and energy. Capacitors play a wide range of roles in circuits, including isolating DC, connecting AC, and preventing low frequencies. They are widely used in coupling, isolating DC, bypassing, filtering, tuning, energy conversion, automatic control, and other fields. Capacitors have a wide range of uses and are indispensable electronic components in the fields of electronics and power. They are mainly used in circuits such as power filtering, signal filtering, signal coupling, resonance, filtering, compensation, charging and discharging, energy storage, and DC isolation. Horn-type aluminum electrolytic capacitors are common capacitors. When producing horn-type aluminum electrolytic capacitors, the finished capacitors need to be tested. In the existing horn-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor production process, the testing machine in the testing process generally tests the internal parameters of the capacitor and measures the short circuit of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor. , uncharged, surge, leakage, ESR, capacity and loss. After the test, the capacitor is directly conveyed to the next process for finished product packaging through a conveyor belt at the discharging station. Since the material of the capacitor terminal is pure copper and the texture is relatively soft, some product terminals will be deformed during the front-end production process. When the traditional horn-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor testing machine is tested, it only tests the internal parameters of the capacitor and lacks external detection of the capacitor. It cannot effectively detect and eliminate unqualified capacitors with deformed terminals, causing some unqualified capacitors with deformed terminals to be classified as qualified products. As a result, the subsequent use end of the capacitor cannot be inserted into the fixed hole of the printed circuit board, causing quality problems. For this reason, we propose a device for automatically detecting capacitor terminals. Utility Model Content

For capacitors with different diameters, the capacitor can be accurately clamped by changing the upper and lower heights of the limit block, which is very convenient.

A rejection mechanism with a CCD visual camera is added at the discharging station, and the imaging contrast principle is used to detect whether the capacitor terminals are abnormal. Abnormal products will be clamped out and automatically discharged into the defective product area.

[0023] The working principle of the device for automatically detecting capacitor terminals provided by the present invention is as follows: when detecting the capacitor terminals of the horn-type aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the mounting frame 1 is fixed to the conveyor belt of the discharging station. After the capacitor undergoes a series of internal parameter tests, the conveyor belt carries the capacitor through the bottom of the visual camera 49. The single-chip microcomputer 5 controls the operation of the visual camera 49. The visual camera 49 uses the imaging comparison principle to detect the outer edge of the capacitor terminal. The qualified capacitors continue to be sent to the subsequent packaging process through the conveyor belt. After the unqualified capacitors with deformed terminal outer edges are found after comparison, the visual camera 49 sends an electrical signal to the single-chip microcomputer 5. The single-chip microcomputer 5 controls the operation of the motor 484. The output shaft of the motor 484 drives the synchronous pulley 481 at the upper right end to rotate. Drive the synchronous belt 482 to rotate along the four synchronous pulleys 481, and the mounting block 483 also moves to the left, driving the mounting column 41 to move left synchronously, and the guide block 46 also moves left. The guide block 46 can keep the mounting column 41 in a vertical state when moving. When the mounting block 483 moves to the synchronous pulley 481 on the upper left side, the mounting block 483 moves down along the movement trajectory of the synchronous belt 482, and the guide block 46 remains stationary. The mounting column 41 moves down. As the mounting column 41 moves down, the sliding column 42 also moves down, and the movable plate 43 also moves down synchronously. At this time, the guide block 46 does not move, and the limit block 474 does not move either. The movable plate 43 moves downward. As the movable plate 43 moves downward, the limit block 474 continuously presses the slide groove 44 through the limit protrusion, so that the movable plate As the mounting block 483 moves downward and inward, the chuck also moves inward synchronously, the tension spring 45 is expanded by force, and the tension spring 45 makes the lateral movement of the movable plate 43 smoother through its own elastic deformation. When the mounting block 483 moves to the synchronous pulley 481 at the lower left side, the mounting block 483 moves right along the movement trajectory of the synchronous belt 482, driving the mounting column 41 to move right, and the guide block 46 and the limit block 474 also move right synchronously. At this time, the two chucks just clamp the unqualified capacitors. As the mounting column 41 moves to the right, the unqualified capacitors are also taken away from the conveyor belt. Until the mounting block 483 moves to the synchronous pulley 481 at the lower right side, the mounting block 483 moves upward along the movement trajectory of the synchronous belt 482, driving the mounting column 41 to move upward, and the guide block 46 and the limit block 474 The block 474 does not move, the mounting post 41 moves the movable plate 43 upward, and the limit block 474 again continuously presses the slide 44 through the limit protrusion, so that the movable plate 43 moves downward and outward at the same time, and the clamp also moves outward synchronously, the tension spring 45 contracts, the capacitor loses its clamping effect and is placed in the defective area, completing the removal of unqualified capacitors. For capacitors with different diameters, the clamping degree of the clamp is also different. To ensure the stability of the clamping, the clamping degree of the clamp can be changed by changing the height of the limit block 474. When the diameter of the capacitor is too small, the reverse knob 472 is turned, the screw rod 471 also rotates synchronously, driving the slider 473 to move upward, and the limit block 474 also moves upward synchronously. When the limit block 474 squeezes the slide 44 through the limit protrusion,The movable plate 43 has a longer inward movement stroke, which is suitable for clamping capacitors with too small diameters. When the capacitor diameter is too large, the knob 472 is turned forward, and the screw rod 471 also rotates synchronously, driving the slider 473 downward and the limit block 474 also moves downward synchronously. When the limit block 474 squeezes the slide 44 through the limit protrusion, the movable plate 43 has a shorter inward movement stroke, which is suitable for clamping capacitors with too large diameters, which is very convenient.
