TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of high-speed low-cost swing tray device required for sheet electrolytic capacitor aging test. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the aging, testing, banding operation of electrolytic capacitor, especially sheet electrolytic capacitor, multiple capacitors are placed in capacitor carrier tray for positioning. For sheet electrolytic capacitor with polar electrode, the polar orientation of the capacitors needs to be adjusted uniformly during the operation of spreading the loose capacitors. In order to facilitate the testing and the power-on operation of the electrode, the orientation of the electrode surface of the components also needs to be adjusted uniformly. This adversely affects the speed of spreading the capacitors. After the capacitors are loaded into the carrier tray, they can be sent to a testing device or an aging device. The speed of loading the capacitors into the carrier tray should be higher than 4 per second, and the final speed should be higher than 8 per second. The cost should be as low as possible.
[0003] There are two existing technologies. One is to use a conventional circular vibration tray and a linear vibration track mechanism. The components are sorted and arranged in the circular vibration tray according to the spiral ascending vibration track. The orientation of the electrode surface of the capacitors that do not meet the requirements is adjusted. The capacitors are then sent to the linear vibration track. A turret device is used to take out one capacitor from the discharge port of the linear vibration track. The polarity of the capacitor is checked at one work station of the turret. The capacitors with incorrect polarity are corrected at another work station. Then, the capacitors are placed in a long box one by one in a linear arrangement in the equally spaced positioning slots. The long box is then placed in a testing device to test the capacitors. Since the number of capacitors loaded in each long box is limited, the maximum testing speed is also limited, which is generally not higher than 4 per second. In addition, since the number of capacitors loaded in the long box is small, if the testing and aging processes are connected, the efficiency and cost of the aging equipment are not ideal, and it is not suitable for aging. Therefore, the long box mode is not suitable for high-speed production lines.
[0004] The other existing technology uses a flexible vibration tray. The loose capacitors are placed in the flexible vibration tray. Then, multiple linear motion suction heads are used to suck up the capacitors with the correct electrode surface orientation from the flexible vibration tray. The polarity of the capacitors is identified by vision. The suction heads adjust the polarity as needed. Then, the capacitors are placed in the capacitor carrier tray. This flexible spreading method is relatively slow. To achieve high-speed spreading, multiple spreading units need to work in parallel. However, this method is relatively expensive, and it is only suitable for applications that are not sensitive to speed or cost, or applications that have special requirements for multi-size compatibility. It is not suitable for applications that require high speed and low cost.
