[0033] Example: See Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a right-angle feeding device for capacitors, which includes a component feeding device 1 and an X-direction driving device 2 and a Y-direction driving device 3 for driving the component feeding device 1 to move along the X and Y directions, respectively. The driving directions of the X-direction driving device 2 and the Y-direction driving device 3 are perpendicular to each other.

[0035] The element feeding device 1 includes a transition slide 11 and a feeding mechanism disposed on the transition slide 11. The transition slide 11 is guided to move along the Y-direction docking mechanism 21.

[0036] The transition slide 11 is provided with a positioning and locking mechanism for locking with the X-direction drive device 2, so that the feeding mechanism remains relatively stationary with the Y-direction docking mechanism 21 when it moves along the X direction.

[0038] When the first positioning docking structure 18 and the second positioning docking structure 31 are engaged, the Y-direction docking mechanism 21 connects to the Y-direction driving device 3, so that the feeding mechanism is connected to the Y-direction driving device 3 along the Y-direction docking mechanism 21 to achieve movement along the Y direction.

[0039] Specifically, the X-axis drive device 2 and Y-axis drive device 3 are configured to form a right-angle conveying path, enabling the element feeding device 1 to transfer and feed materials at right angles without rotating the feeding clamp. This replaces the traditional method of configuring a corresponding number of feeding mechanisms for X-axis and Y-axis modules, allowing the right-angle transfer and feeding of capacitors to be completed within a limited space, improving production efficiency and reducing equipment and maintenance costs. The positioning and locking mechanism ensures that the feeding mechanism does not move in the Y-axis when moving along the X-axis, improving transfer reliability. Furthermore, the first positioning docking structure 18 and the second positioning docking structure 31 are used to optimize the docking accuracy and convenience of the feeding mechanism in XY direction changes. Secondly, the Y-axis docking mechanism 21 is optimized to improve the convenience and directionality of the glue feeding mechanism traveling back and forth between the X-axis drive device 2 and the Y-axis drive device 3.

[0040] Preferably, the X-axis driving device 2 further includes a transverse sliding seat, a first guide rail 22, and a first cylinder 23. The transverse sliding seat is movably disposed on the first guide rail 22, and the drive shaft of the first cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the transverse sliding seat. The Y-axis docking mechanism 21 is disposed on the transverse sliding seat. Specifically, when the drive shaft of the first cylinder 23 extends, it drives the transverse sliding seat to approach the Y-axis driving device 3, that is, it drives the feeding mechanism to approach the Y-axis driving device 3.

When the drive shaft of the second cylinder 12 retracts, it drives the positioning post 13 away from the positioning hole 24, so as to release the relative stationary state between the feeding mechanism and the transverse slide, effectively ensuring that the feeding mechanism avoids movement in the Y direction when moving in the X direction.

[0044] Preferably, the first positioning and docking structure 18 consists of several sets of docking holes arranged laterally in the transition slide 11;

[0045] The Y-axis driving device 3 includes a docking seat 32, and the second positioning docking structure 31 is a docking pin disposed in the docking seat 32 corresponding to the docking hole. Specifically, when the X-axis driving device 2 drives the element feeding device 1 to approach the Y-axis driving device 3, the docking seat 32 is engaged with the docking hole through the docking pin so that the transition slide 11 is assembled on the docking seat 32, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of the right-angle transfer of the feeding mechanism.

[0046] Preferably, the Y-axis driving device 3 further includes a third guide rail 33 and a synchronous belt assembly 34 driven by a first motor, the docking seat 32 is connected to the synchronous belt assembly 34 in a transmission manner, and the docking seat 32 is movably disposed on the third guide rail 33;

[0047] The third guide rail 33 is parallel to and at the same height as the second guide rail, and the feeding mechanism moves back and forth along the second guide rail and the third guide rail 33. Specifically, when the feeding mechanism is assembled onto the docking seat 32 via the transition slide 11, the first motor drives the synchronous belt assembly 34 to move the docking seat 32 laterally, so as to drive the feeding mechanism to move back and forth along the second guide rail and the third guide rail 33.

[0048] Preferably, the docking seat 32 is provided with a sensing plate;

[0049] The Y-axis driving device 3 further includes a first photoelectric switch 35 and a second photoelectric switch 36, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the synchronous belt assembly 34 corresponding to the sensing sheet.

[0050] The first photoelectric switch 35 is electrically connected to the positioning and locking mechanism. When the first photoelectric switch 35 senses the sensing sheet, it drives the positioning and locking mechanism to work.

[0051] The second photoelectric switch 36 is electrically connected to the feeding mechanism. When the second photoelectric switch 36 senses the sensing sheet, it drives the feeding mechanism to work.

[0052] Preferably, the Y-axis drive device 3 further includes a first buffer 37 and a second buffer 38 for limiting excessive lateral movement of the docking seat 32, wherein the first buffer 37 and the second buffer 38 are respectively disposed at both ends of the timing belt assembly 34.

[0053] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding clamp, a third cylinder 14 for driving the feeding clamp to open and close, and a fourth cylinder 15 for driving the feeding clamp to rise and fall.

[0054] The feeding clamp includes a first jaw 16 and a second jaw 17 with their gripping surfaces facing each other. A first silicone tube is embedded in the gripping surface of the first jaw 16, and a second silicone tube and a third silicone tube are embedded in the gripping surface of the second jaw 17. The second silicone tube and the third silicone tube are respectively arranged adjacent to both sides of the first silicone tube to form a needle clamping cavity, and the first silicone tube, the second silicone tube and the third silicone tube are parallel to each other.

[0055] When this utility model is in operation, it includes the following steps:

[0056] (1) The positioning and locking mechanism locks the transition slide 11 and the transverse slide to keep the feeding mechanism and the Y-direction docking mechanism 21 relatively stationary.

[0057] (2) The element feeding device feeds elements;

[0058] The first cylinder 23 drives the feeding mechanism to clamp a row of elements, at which time the element guide needle is held in the element guide needle holding cavity;

[0059] After feeding is completed, the second cylinder 12 drives the feeding mechanism to rise, so that the feeding mechanism leaves the element feeding device.

[0060] (3) The X-direction driving device 2 drives the feeding mechanism to move along the X direction to approach the Y-direction driving device 3. When the first photoelectric switch 35 senses that the docking seat 32 is close, the first positioning docking structure 18 and the second positioning docking structure 31 cooperate to dock, driving the positioning locking mechanism to release the transverse seat, so as to realize the feeding mechanism to disengage from the transverse seat, and then the transition slide 11 is assembled on the docking seat 32 by the docking pin and the docking hole.

[0061] (4) The feeding mechanism enters the Y-direction driving device 3 from the Y-direction docking mechanism 21 and moves along the Y-direction driving device 3 to the discharge point. When the second photoelectric switch 36 senses that the docking seat 32 is close, it drives the feeding mechanism to discharge the element to complete the discharge action.

[0062] (5) After the material is fed, the Y-axis driving device 3 drives the feeding mechanism to reset, and the feeding mechanism enters the Y-axis docking mechanism 21. At this time, the first photoelectric switch 35 senses that the docking seat 32 is close and drives the positioning and locking mechanism to fix the transverse seat so as to fix the feeding mechanism on the transverse seat.

[0063] (6) The X-direction driving mechanism drives the feeding mechanism to reset.

[0064] This utility model features a reasonable and ingenious design. It is equipped with X-axis and Y-axis driving devices to form a right-angle conveying path, enabling the element feeding device to perform right-angle transfer feeding without rotating the feeding clamp. This replaces the traditional method of configuring a corresponding number of feeding mechanisms for X-axis and Y-axis modules, allowing for right-angle transfer feeding of capacitors within a limited space, improving production efficiency, and reducing equipment and maintenance costs. The positioning and locking mechanism ensures that the feeding mechanism does not move in the Y-axis when moving along the X-axis, improving transfer reliability. Furthermore, the first and second positioning docking structures optimize the docking accuracy and convenience of the feeding mechanism in XY-axis changes. Secondly, the optimized Y-axis docking mechanism improves the convenience and directionality of the glue feeding mechanism traveling between the X-axis and Y-axis driving devices.
