Description

Technical Field

[0002] Electrolytic capacitors are a type of widely used capacitor. After they are produced and discharged, they often need to be manually placed in rows on trays to facilitate the subsequent simultaneous transportation or storage of multiple electrolytic capacitors.

[0003] However, manual panning is inefficient, labor-intensive, labor-intensive, and has weak market competitiveness. If only conventional conveying devices such as belt conveyors are used to automatically convey and pan electrolytic capacitors, since most electrolytic capacitors are cylindrical, they are prone to falling and damage during transportation. This is especially true for slender electrolytic capacitors, such as those with a cross-sectional diameter of 10mm to 12.5mm and a length of more than 40mm. Due to their higher center of gravity, the probability of them falling is further increased. That is, conventional conveying devices are difficult to meet the needs of automatic panning of electrolytic capacitors. Utility Model Content

[0033] There can be multiple material blocking mechanisms 6. In this embodiment, there are preferably two material blocking mechanisms 6, and the two material blocking mechanisms 6 are independent of each other.

[0034] The material stopper mechanism 6 includes a motor 61, a screw-nut device 62, a shifting device, and a stopper 64. The screw-nut device 62 is mounted on the bracket 8 by bolts. The body of the motor 61 is connected to the bracket 8 by bolts. The output shaft of the motor 61 is connected to the screw of the screw-nut device 62. The shifting device is fixedly mounted on the nut of the screw-nut device 62 by bolts. The shifting device can be a telescopic cylinder or a rotary cylinder. In the embodiment, the shifting device in one material stopper mechanism 6 is a telescopic cylinder 631, and the shifting device in the other material stopper mechanism 6 is a rotary cylinder 632. The stopper 64 is fixedly connected to the shifting device by bolts.

[0035] After installation, the pushing mechanism 2, transfer mechanism 5, material blocking mechanism 6, and material tray 7 are all mounted on the bracket 8. The feed jig 4 is fixedly connected to the third support plate 52 on the transfer mechanism 5 by bolts. The feed jig 4 has a funnel-shaped through-hole through which an electrolytic capacitor can pass. The first clamping block 56 of the transfer mechanism 5 is initially positioned below the through-hole, allowing the electrolytic capacitor to pass through the feed jig 4 and into the transfer mechanism 5.

[0036] The bracket 8 is also provided with a storage track 81. When the push block 1 is in the initial position, the discharge track 11 is connected to the storage track 81, and the first transfer cylinder 51 of the transfer mechanism 5 moves in the direction of the storage track 81, that is, the transfer mechanism 5 can transfer the electrolytic capacitor to the storage track 81.

[0037] The stopper 64 of the material stopping mechanism 6 can extend into the material storage track 81 through the shifting device, and driven by the screw nut device 62, the stopper 64 can move between the material storage track and the material discharge track.

[0038] When the present invention is in use, the second transfer cylinder 91 can work to adjust the position of the second clamping block 95 so that the second clamping block 95 is located in the material storage track 81 and between the first clamping block 56 and the stop block 64 .

[0039] When the finished electrolytic capacitor is discharged, the electrolytic capacitor enters the transfer mechanism 5 through the funnel-shaped through-hole of the feeding jig 4. At this time, relying on the work of the first clamping cylinder 55, the two first clamping blocks 56 clamp the electrolytic capacitor, and then the first transfer cylinder 51 works to transport the electrolytic capacitor to the storage track 81 until the electrolytic capacitor and the block 64 of the blocking mechanism 6 abut, completing one transfer of the electrolytic capacitor. At this time, the clamping mechanism 9 can work, and the second clamping block 95 clamps the upper part of the electrolytic capacitor.

[0040] Afterwards, the first clamping cylinder 55 is reset, the two first clamping blocks 56 release the clamping of the electrolytic capacitor, and the first transfer cylinder 51 is also reset. Then, the next electrolytic capacitor enters the transfer mechanism 5 through the funnel-shaped through hole of the feeding fixture 4, and the transfer mechanism 5 transfers the new electrolytic capacitor again. At the same time, the screw nut device 62 of the blocking mechanism 6 works accordingly, so that the block 64 moves a distance the size of the electrolytic capacitor in the direction of the discharge track 11, and the transfer mechanism 5 can transfer the new electrolytic capacitor to abut against the electrolytic capacitor previously clamped by the second clamping block 95. At this time, the clamping mechanism 9 is reset, and the second clamping block 95 releases the clamping of the electrolytic capacitor. The new electrolytic capacitor moves together with the previous electrolytic capacitor to abut against the block 64. At this time, the clamping mechanism 9 works again, and the second clamping block 95 clamps the new electrolytic capacitor. Then the transfer mechanism 5 is reset again.

[0041] The above process is continuously repeated, and when the count reaches the second to last electrolytic capacitor in each row, the block 64 of the blocking mechanism 6 moves forward a distance the size of two electrolytic capacitors to leave the discharge track 11, and the first transfer cylinder 51 can move the electrolytic capacitor an additional distance the size of one electrolytic capacitor when transferring it again, and the product of the clamping mechanism 9 is also sent into the discharge track 11, so that a whole row of electrolytic capacitors can exist on the entire discharge track 11.

[0042] After that, the pushing mechanism 2 works, and the pushing cylinder 21 pushes the entire row of electrolytic capacitors into the material tray 7. After pushing them into place, the lifting mechanism 3 can drive the pushing block 1 to move upward to separate from the electrolytic capacitors. In addition, in order to avoid the need to wait for the electrolytic capacitors to be fed, during the reset process of one blocking mechanism 6, the other blocking mechanism 6 can directly replace its work.

[0043] In addition, the present invention can also include a material baffle 10, which can be placed on the material tray 7. The material baffle 10 prevents material from falling over during subsequent pushing and discharging. After the entire row of products is pushed into the material tray 7, the material track 11 rises and returns to its original position to continue receiving and arranging the materials. When the number of pushed materials reaches the set number of full trays, the operator removes the material baffle 10 on the material tray and places the material tray partition, replaces the empty material tray 7 and continues the operation.

[0044] The above descriptions are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
