Description

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mechanical design, in particular to a multifunctional automatic feeding mechanism for electrolytic capacitors. Background Art

[0002] Electrolytic capacitors are a widely used type of capacitor. In order to facilitate the efficient transport of electrolytic capacitors into the corresponding machinery during processing or use, a feeding mechanism is often required to feed the electrolytic capacitors.

[0003] In the actual feeding of electrolytic capacitors, the feeding mechanisms required by different electrolytic capacitors are often different. For example, for some high-voltage electrolytic capacitors, semi-disc feeding is mostly required, while for some low-voltage electrolytic capacitors, disc vibration feeding or flat tray feeding is mostly used. If a device is needed to adapt to the feeding of two types of electrolytic capacitors, the existing method is mostly to feed high-voltage electrolytic capacitors by manual swinging and use a disc vibration or flat tray feeding mechanism. This method has a high degree of manual participation and weak versatility, which is not conducive to large-scale production and processing. If the method of replacing the feeding mechanism is adopted, a lot of machine adjustment time will be wasted, affecting work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0033] The conveyor belt mechanism 4 includes a conveyor belt 41, a support 42, and conveyor wheels 43. The support 42 is fixed to the frame 5 by screws. There are multiple conveyor wheels 43, each of which is rotatably mounted on the support 42 via bearings. The conveyor belt 41 passes around the multiple conveyor wheels 43, and each conveyor wheel 43 is connected to a drive motor. The conveyor belt 41 is provided with multiple partition blocks 411, and accommodating cavities 412 are formed between adjacent partition blocks 411.

[0034] After setting, the first discharge port 111 is located above the conveyor belt mechanism 4, and the guide channel 181 and the rotating wheel 16 are located between the first discharge port 111 and the conveyor belt mechanism 4, and the clamping device 36 can be opposite to the second discharge port 212, and the clamping device 36 can move back and forth between the second discharge port 212 and the conveyor belt mechanism 4 under the drive of the first cylinder 31.

[0035] When the multifunctional automatic feeding mechanism for electrolytic capacitors is in use, the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 can be used for the feeding needs of different electrolytic capacitors respectively. Preferably, the first feeding mechanism 1 can be adapted to the feeding of high-voltage electrolytic capacitors, and the second feeding mechanism 2 can be adapted to the feeding of low-voltage electrolytic capacitors.

[0036] Specifically, the feeding method of the electrolytic capacitor in the first feeding mechanism 1 is to fix the material tray loaded with the electrolytic capacitor in the material cavity of the semicircular material tray 11, and the vibrator 12 works so that the electrolytic capacitor can vibrate and fall from the material tray to feed the material. At the same time, the motor 151 drives the material tray platform 13 to move, and the material tray platform 13 will be limited by the cooperation of the guide column 131 and the guide sleeve 142, so that the material tray platform 13 moves horizontally, and the electrolytic capacitor in the material cavity can be distributed accordingly with the current position of the first discharge port 111 during the horizontal movement. The electrolytic capacitor 161 is moved along the flow channel 182 and then enters the material receiving groove 161 of the rotating wheel 16 through the flow guide channel 181. The setting of the branch channel 182 can effectively reduce the probability of material jamming, and the rotating wheel 16 can be driven to rotate by the rotating motor 17. As the rotating wheel 16 rotates, the electrolytic capacitor in the receiving groove 161 can move accordingly. When the electrolytic capacitor rotates to one side of the rotating wheel 16, it can separate from the rotating wheel 16 due to gravity and enter the conveyor belt mechanism 4, completing the feeding of the electrolytic capacitor from the first feeding mechanism 1 to the conveyor belt mechanism 4.

[0037] In addition, when the electrolytic capacitor is stuck in the material placement chamber, the ejection cylinder 19 can be activated, and the ejection cylinder 19 can drive the ejection rod 110 to move to clear the stuck electrolytic capacitor.

[0038] The feeding method of the electrolytic capacitor into the second feeding mechanism 2 is as follows: the electrolytic capacitor is placed into the disc-shaped groove 211, and the vibrating disk 21 works so that the electrolytic capacitor can be sent out from the vibrating disk 21, and the sent electrolytic capacitor can be blocked by the blocking device 22 at the second discharge port 212. At this time, the clamping device 36 can clamp the electrolytic capacitor at the second discharge port 212, and then the first cylinder 31 works to rotate the first rotating shaft 32, so that the second connecting block 35 moves, and the clamping device 36 also moves accordingly. When the clamping device 36 moves to the conveyor belt mechanism 4, the clamping device 36 releases the clamping of the electrolytic capacitor, so that the electrolytic capacitor enters the conveyor belt mechanism 4, and the above process is repeated continuously to complete the feeding of the electrolytic capacitor from the second feeding mechanism 2 to the conveyor belt mechanism 4.

[0039] The electrolytic capacitors entering the conveyor belt mechanism 4 can be located on the accommodating cavity 412 of the conveyor belt 41 . As the conveyor belt 41 moves, the electrolytic capacitors thereon can move accordingly to be effectively transported to subsequent processing equipment.

[0040] In this multifunctional automatic feeding mechanism for electrolytic capacitors, the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 can be used independently or in combination, and are highly flexible. A conveyor belt mechanism 4 is also provided to cooperate with the first feeding mechanism 1, and a material picking mechanism 3 is provided at the same time to ensure that the second feeding mechanism 2 can cooperate with the conveyor belt mechanism 4, so that the electrolytic capacitors fed from each feeding mechanism can be finally fed by relying on the conveyor belt mechanism 4 to ensure the uniformity of transportation to subsequent equipment, reduce the need for machine adjustment, and ensure work efficiency.

[0041] 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.
