Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capacitor and resistor production technology, and in particular to an aging appearance sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Two conductors placed close together, with a non-conductive insulating medium sandwiched between them, constitute a capacitor. When a voltage is applied between the two plates of a capacitor, it stores electrical charge. Capacitors play an important role in circuits for tuning, bypassing, coupling, and filtering. They are used in the tuning circuits of transistor radios, as well as in the coupling and bypass circuits of color televisions. With the rapid development of electronic information technology and the increasingly fast pace of digital electronic product upgrades, the production and sales of consumer electronics, primarily flat-panel TVs (LCD and PDP), laptops, and digital cameras, have continued to grow, driving the growth of the capacitor industry.
[0003] In capacitor manufacturing, capacitors typically undergo aging treatment to permanently alter their internal insulation materials or dielectric structure, leading to changes in capacitor parameters and affecting performance. After aging, capacitors are sorted based on their appearance changes, with substandard capacitors recycled for secondary processing. However, current sorting methods usually involve manual screening followed by the unified recycling of substandard capacitors, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Therefore, an aging appearance sorting machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

The feeding mechanism includes several feeding clamps that are evenly distributed. The height of the recycling mechanism is lower than the height of the capacitors picked up by the feeding clamps. The bottom end of the feeding mechanism is connected to a reduction gearbox that is fixedly installed on the worktable.
[0006] The feeding mechanism further includes: a feeding base disposed at the top of the reducer, a connecting block disposed on the feeding base, an impact head disposed on the connecting block, a mounting plate disposed on the worktable, a toggle plate disposed at the top of the mounting plate, a rotating seat disposed at the top of the base, a turntable disposed on the rotating seat, a movable groove disposed on the turntable, and a transmission rod disposed at the bottom of the feeding clamp.

[0008] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the feeding clamp mainly consists of a left positioning clamp, a right positioning clamp, a connecting rod fixing frame and a spring. The left positioning clamp and the right positioning clamp are symmetrically distributed on the fixing frame and are rotatably connected to the fixing frame. The connecting rod is fixedly installed on the non-working end of the left positioning clamp, and the spring is placed between the left positioning clamp and the right positioning clamp.
[0009] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the recycling mechanism includes: a recycling trough set on the workbench, a recycling bracket set in the recycling trough, a recycling bucket set at the top of the recycling bracket, a support plate set on the workbench, a recycling motor set on the support wall, and a rotating lever fixedly installed on the output end of the recycling motor.
[0010] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the top of the recycling hopper is positioned directly below the feeding clamp, and the bottom of the recycling hopper is positioned directly above the recycling trough.
[0011] A further technical solution of this utility model is: the impact mechanism includes: a connecting plate disposed on the workbench, an impact cylinder disposed on the connecting plate, a connecting frame disposed on the output end of the impact cylinder, a second slide rail disposed on the workbench, a second slider disposed on the second slide rail, a fixed seat disposed on the second slider, and an impact rod disposed in the fixed seat.
[0012] A further technical solution of this utility model is: one end of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the output end of the impact cylinder, and the other end of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the side of the second slider.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Compared to manual sorting, this invention uses a video inspection mechanism to visually inspect the capacitors held by the feeding clamps. When a capacitor's appearance quality fails to meet the standards, it is recycled by a recycling mechanism, causing the substandard capacitors to fall into a recycling tank for processing. Capacitors that meet the standards are unloaded through a flipping and picking mechanism, entering the unloading tank via a hopper, thus completing the unloading process. This not only achieves automatic sorting based on appearance, reducing the workload of workers, but also effectively improves work efficiency and reduces labor costs. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance.

Furthermore, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, an aging appearance sorting machine includes a workbench 1. The top of the workbench 1 is provided with a video detection mechanism 5, a recycling mechanism 6, a feeding mechanism 4, an impact mechanism 7, and a flipping and picking mechanism 8 from left to right. The feeding mechanism 4 includes a number of feeding clamps 48 that are evenly distributed. The height of the recycling mechanism 6 is lower than the height of the capacitors picked up by the feeding clamps 48. The bottom end of the feeding mechanism 4 is connected to a reduction gearbox 11 that is fixedly installed on the workbench 1.
[0029] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 4 is the main component for feeding the capacitors, such as... Figures 4-7 As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 also includes: a feeding base 41 disposed at the top of the reducer 11, a connecting block 42 disposed on the feeding base 41, an impact head 43 disposed on the connecting block 42, a mounting plate 44 disposed on the worktable 1, a toggle piece 45 disposed at the top of the mounting plate 44, a rotating seat 401 disposed at the top of the base 41, a turntable 49 disposed on the rotating seat 401, a movable groove 46 disposed on the turntable 49, and a transmission rod 47 disposed at the bottom of the feeding clamp 48.
[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, the feeding clamp 48 mainly consists of a left positioning clamp 481, a right positioning clamp 482, a connecting rod 483, a fixing frame 484, and a spring 485. The left positioning clamp 481 and the right positioning clamp 482 are symmetrically distributed on the fixing frame 484 and are rotatably connected to the fixing frame 484. The connecting rod 483 is fixedly installed on the non-working end of the left positioning clamp 481, and the spring 485 is placed between the left positioning clamp 481 and the right positioning clamp 482.
[0031] The rotation of the turntable 49 is driven by the feeding base 41. When the impact mechanism 7 impacts the connecting block 42 installed on the side of the base 41, the impact head 43 fixedly installed on the connecting block 42 will impact the bottom end of the actuating plate 45. Since the middle part of the actuating plate 45 is rotatably connected to the top end of the mounting plate 44, the top end of the actuating plate 45 will move in the opposite direction, thereby actuating the transmission rod 47 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 481. At this time, the spring 485 is compressed, the clamping ends of the left positioning clamp 481 and the right positioning clamp 482 open, the capacitor will fall off the feeding clamp 48, and the feeding base 41 will also rotate. It should be noted that there are only two connecting blocks 42 on the turntable 49, which correspond to the loading and unloading of capacitors respectively. Therefore, while the impact mechanism 7 provides power for the rotation of the feeding base 41, only the station corresponding to the connecting block 42 will have the feeding clamp 48 open. The contact surface between the actuating plate 45 and the transmission rod 47 is arc-shaped to ensure that the actuating plate 45 can pass through the transmission rod 47 without causing rebound.
[0032] In this embodiment, the main function of the video inspection mechanism 5 is to perform visual inspection on the fed capacitors. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the video detection mechanism 5 includes: a detection bracket 51 set on the workbench 1, a first slide rail 52 set on the detection bracket 51, a first slider 54 set on the first slide rail 52, a camera 53 fixedly installed on the first slider 54, a threaded sleeve 55 set on the top of the detection bracket 51, and a threaded rod 56 set in the threaded sleeve 55. One end of the threaded rod 56 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 55, and the other end is rotatably connected to the top of the first slider 54.
[0033] In this embodiment, the video detection mechanism 5 cannot be used alone because its function is only to detect capacitors and it does not have a material unloading function. Therefore, the video detection mechanism 5 needs to be used in combination with the recycling mechanism 6. Figure 3 As shown, the recycling mechanism 6 includes: a recycling tank 61 disposed on the workbench 1, a recycling bracket 62 disposed in the recycling tank 61, a recycling bucket 63 disposed at the top of the recycling bracket 62, a support plate 65 disposed on the workbench 1, a recycling motor 66 disposed on the support wall 65, and a rotating lever 65 fixedly installed on the output end of the recycling motor 66.
[0034] The top of the recycling hopper 63 is positioned directly below the feeding clamp 48, and the bottom of the recycling hopper 63 is positioned directly above the recycling trough 61. When the camera 53 detects a capacitor, it transmits the video information to the controller for information recognition. The controller then feeds back the recognition result to the recycling mechanism 6, thereby determining whether to recycle the capacitor at the detection station.
[0035] In this embodiment, the impact mechanism 7 is a rotating component of the feeding mechanism 4, and is also a component used for loading and unloading capacitors. Figure 8 As shown, the impact mechanism 7 includes: a connecting plate 71 disposed on the worktable 1, an impact cylinder 72 disposed on the connecting plate 71, a connecting frame 73 disposed on the output end of the impact cylinder 72, a second slide rail 74 disposed on the worktable 1, a second slider 75 disposed on the second slide rail 74, a fixed seat 76 disposed on the second slider 75, and an impact rod 77 disposed in the fixed seat 76.
[0036] One end of the connecting frame 73 is fixedly connected to the output end of the impact cylinder 72, and the other end of the connecting frame 73 is fixedly connected to the side of the second slider 75.
[0037] In this embodiment, the main function of the flipping and feeding mechanism 8 is to assist the capacitor in completing the feeding action. For example... Figure 4As shown, the flipping material handling mechanism 8 includes: a material handling bracket 81 disposed on the workbench 1, a flipping motor 82 disposed on the top of the material handling bracket 81, a right-angle bracket 83 disposed on the output end of the flipping motor 82, a clamping cylinder 84 disposed on the right-angle bracket 83, and a material handling clamp 85 disposed on the clamping cylinder 84.
[0038] One end of the right-angle bracket 83 is fixedly connected to the output end of the flipping motor 82, and the other end of the right-angle bracket 83 is fixedly connected to the clamping cylinder 84. The material clamps 85 are symmetrically distributed on the output end of the clamping cylinder 84. When the flipping motor 82 drives the bracket 83 to rotate, the clamping cylinder 83 fixed on the right-angle bracket 83 will also move accordingly. The two ends of the stroke of the clamping cylinder 83 are directly above the feeding clamp 48 (to complete the material picking of the capacitor) and directly above the unloading hopper 10 (to complete the unloading of the capacitor). The main function of the unloading hopper 10 is to protect the leads of the capacitor and prevent the leads from bending or being damaged due to the capacitor flipping during the falling process.
[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
