As market demands for the performance of electronic products continue to rise, the precision standards for capacitors are becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] In the capacitor manufacturing process, the leads play a crucial connecting role, and their condition directly affects subsequent assembly and the overall performance of the product. However, actual production faces many challenges. Currently, most companies still rely on manual centering of capacitor leads at the calibration station on the production line. Operators must hold fine tools for extended periods, adjusting the position of each lead one by one by visual inspection.

[0004] Manual operation has significant inherent drawbacks. On the one hand, it is inefficient; skilled workers take an average of a long time to complete the alignment of a capacitor lead, and when faced with large-scale production orders, manual alignment becomes a bottleneck that slows down the production pace. On the other hand, quality is difficult to guarantee; the precision of the human eye is limited, making it difficult to detect minute deviations, and the instability of hand operation can easily lead to misalignment after lead alignment, affecting the electrical performance of the capacitor and resulting in a high defect rate.

[0005] Furthermore, prolonged and intensive manual calibration work easily leads to worker fatigue, which not only further reduces work efficiency but also increases the risk of operational errors due to distraction. In addition, manual operation is greatly affected by factors such as the worker's skill level and emotional fluctuations, resulting in inconsistent calibration results among different workers, which is not conducive to the standardization and normalization of production.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be apparently and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a technical scheme: electronic component centering device, including mounting base 1, including,

[0026] Conveying belt 2 is connected at the top of mounting base 1, and the top of conveying belt 2 is connected with mounting seat 4, and two drive gears 5 that are mutually symmetrical are rotationally connected on mounting seat 4, the two drive gears 5 are mutually engaged, and the bottom of drive gear 5 is coaxially provided with calibration plate 8 for workpiece centering, and connecting seat 3 for positioning and conveying workpiece is arranged in conveying belt 2.

[0027] It should be noted that the drive gear 5 can be driven to rotate by a motor in the application, or the drive gear 5 can be manually rotated.

[0028] In specific implementation, when the conveying belt 2 is started, the electronic component workpiece to be centered is placed on the connecting seat 3, and when the workpiece is conveyed to the area below the mounting seat 4, the two drive gears 5 rotationally connected on the mounting seat 4 start to work. The two drive gears 5 are mutually engaged, and when one of the drive gears 5 is driven to rotate, the other drive gear 5 will synchronously rotate in the opposite direction. During their rotation, the calibration plate 8 coaxially arranged at the bottom of the drive gear 5 moves synchronously, and when the electronic component reaches the area below the calibration plate 8, the two calibration plates 8 move towards or in the opposite direction under the drive of the drive gear 5, and gently push the electronic component, apply accurate and uniform force to the electronic component from both sides, gradually correct the possible positional deviation of the electronic component, and until the electronic component is accurately in the centered position.

[0029] Refer toFigure 2 The driving gear 5 is connected with a connecting rod 6, and the connecting rod 6 is connected with a driving plate 7.

[0030] In the embodiment, when one driving gear 5 rotates, the other driving gear 5 rotates reversely synchronously by virtue of the meshing relationship. At this time, the connecting rod 6 connected with the driving gear 5 moves with the rotation of the gear, and the driving plate 7 connected with the other end of the connecting rod 6 also moves.

[0031] Since the driving plate 7 is connected with the calibration plate 8, the movement of the driving plate 7 directly drives the calibration plate 8.

[0032] Referring to Figure 3 The conveying belt 2 comprises at least two groups of chain wheel sets 201 rotatably connected in the conveying belt 2, and each group of chain wheel sets 201 is provided with two chain wheel bodies and is meshed with a chain 202.

[0033] In the embodiment, when power is transmitted to one of the chain wheel bodies, the power is transmitted in the chain wheel set 201 according to the meshing transmission principle of the chain wheel body and the chain 202, and the chain 202 starts to rotate circularly, so that the connecting seat 3 moves to transport the material.

[0034] Referring to Figure 6 The connecting seat 3 comprises a connecting recess block 301 connected with the chain 202, and the connecting recess block 301 is integrally formed with a V-shaped notch. The connecting recess block 301 is connected with a clamping block 302, and the clamping block 302 is used in cooperation with the notch to position the workpiece.

[0035] In the embodiment, when the electronic component workpiece to be centered is placed on the connecting recess block 301, the V-shaped notch can preliminarily guide and limit the workpiece according to the geometric characteristics, so that the workpiece is approximately located at the center position.

[0036] At the same time, the clamping block 302 connected with the connecting recess block 301 further strengthens the positioning effect. The clamping block 302 cooperates with the V-shaped notch, and is used to exert clamping force on the workpiece from different directions by skillfully designing the position, shape and movement mode of the clamping block 302 according to different shapes of the electronic component, such as square, circular or irregular shape.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 The conveying belt 2 is rotatably connected with a connecting shaft 9, and the other end of the connecting shaft 9 is connected with a guide wheel 10.

[0038] In specific implementation, when the conveying belt 2 is running, the guide wheel 10 rolls, on the one hand, it can provide lateral support for the conveying belt 2, effectively prevent the conveying belt 2 from running off when running for a long time or being disturbed by external force such as slight lateral force caused by uneven placement of workpieces, ensure that the conveying belt 2 always runs along a straight trajectory, and guarantee the accuracy of the workpiece transmission path; on the other hand, the rolling friction of the guide wheel 10 greatly reduces the running resistance compared with direct sliding friction, so that the conveying belt 2 runs more smoothly and efficiently, reduces power loss, and prolongs the service life of the equipment.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 The protective sleeve is sleeved on the calibration plate 8, and the material of the protective sleeve is rubber.

[0040] In specific implementation, the protective sleeve reduces the damage to the electronic workpiece when the calibration plate 8 is centered.

[0041] Working principle: when the conveying belt 2 is started, the electronic component workpiece to be centered is placed on the connecting seat 3, and as the workpiece is conveyed to the area below the mounting seat 4, the two mutually symmetrical drive gears 5 rotatably connected on the mounting seat 4 start to work. The two drive gears 5 mesh with each other, and when one of the drive gears 5 is driven to rotate, the other drive gear 5 rotates in the opposite direction synchronously. In the process of their rotation, the calibration plate 8 coaxially arranged at the bottom of the drive gear 5 moves synchronously, and when the electronic component reaches below the calibration plate 8, the calibration plates 8 on both sides move towards or in the opposite direction under the drive of the drive gear 5, gently push the electronic component, apply precise and uniform force to it from both sides, gradually correct the possible positional deviation of the electronic component, and until the electronic component is accurately in the centered position.

[0042] When the electronic component workpiece to be centered is placed thereon, the “V”-shaped notch can preliminarily guide and limit the workpiece according to the geometric characteristics, so that the workpiece is approximately in the center position.

[0043] At the same time, the clamping block 302 connected on the connecting recess block 301 further strengthens the positioning effect. The clamping block 302 cooperates with the “V”-shaped notch, and can apply clamping force to the workpiece from different directions by skillfully designing the position, shape and movement mode of the clamping block 302 for electronic components of different shapes, such as square, circular or irregular shape.
