[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a sorting device for surface mount capacitor production includes a workbench 1, a sorting tray 2, a mounting frame 3, and a sorting mechanism. The sorting tray 2 is rotatably mounted on the workbench 1, and a sorting groove 21 is formed on the sorting tray 2, in which surface mount capacitors are placed. The mounting frame 3 is fixedly mounted on the workbench 1, and the sorting tray 2 is located at the bottom of the mounting frame 3. The sorting mechanism includes a retaining ring 4, a first baffle 43, and a second baffle 44. The retaining ring 4 is located on the outer peripheral wall of the sorting tray 2. It is fixedly connected to the workbench 1. The ring 4 has a first opening 41 and a second opening 42. The first baffle 43 is set in the sorting groove 21 and located at the first opening 41. The second baffle 44 is set in the sorting groove 21 and located at the second opening 42. The mounting frame 3 is equipped with a lifting motor 45. The output end of the lifting motor 45 is connected to the first baffle 43. A telescopic mechanism is set at the first opening 41. The telescopic mechanism is used to limit the first opening 41.

[0026] A camera 31 is installed at the bottom of the mounting bracket 3, positioned above the sorting slot 21. The camera 31 captures images of the surface-mount capacitors passing through the sorting slot 21 below it, obtaining image information and transmitting it to the control system. The control system analyzes the images according to a preset algorithm to determine whether the surface-mount capacitors are qualified. This achieves automated detection of surface-mount capacitors, avoiding the subjectivity and inefficiency of manual inspection, improving the accuracy and speed of detection, and providing a reliable basis for subsequent sorting.

[0027] The workbench 1 is equipped with a rotary motor 11, the output end of which is connected to a turntable 12. The sorting tray 2 is fixedly connected to the turntable 12. After the rotary motor 11 is started, its output end drives the turntable 12 to rotate. Since the sorting tray 2 is fixedly connected to the turntable 12, the sorting tray 2 rotates accordingly, causing the surface-mount capacitors in the sorting slot 21 to pass through the detection and sorting positions in sequence.

[0028] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the telescopic mechanism includes a telescopic plate 5 and a spring 51, a telescopic groove is provided at the bottom of the first opening 41, one end of the spring 51 is connected to the bottom of the telescopic groove and the other end is connected to the telescopic plate 5, and the first baffle 43 extends above the telescopic plate 5.

[0029] When the first baffle 43 descends, it presses against the telescopic plate 5, compressing the spring 51. The telescopic plate 5 retracts into the telescopic groove, and the first opening 41 opens. When the first baffle 43 rises, the spring 51 returns to its original state, pushing the telescopic plate 5 out, and the first opening 41 closes. The telescopic mechanism achieves automatic opening and closing of the first opening 41. In conjunction with the raising and lowering of the first baffle 43, it ensures that the first opening 41 is only opened when it is necessary to sort qualified products, preventing unqualified products from entering the collection box 6 and improving the accuracy of sorting.

[0030] The mounting frame 3 is provided with a support leg 32 on its outer side wall, and the support leg 32 is fixedly connected to the workbench 1.

[0031] The mounting frame 3 is provided with a limiting cover 33 at its bottom, which is positioned above the sorting tray 2 and close to the inner side of the sorting groove 21. The sorting tray 2 is provided with a guide hole 22 at its center, and the mounting frame 3 is provided with a guide post 34 at its bottom, which is rotatably engaged with the guide hole 22.

[0032] By setting a limit cover 33, the chip capacitors are prevented from falling onto the sorting tray 2 during loading. The cooperation of the guide post 34 and the guide hole 22 improves the stability of the rotation of the sorting tray 2 and improves the shooting accuracy of the camera 31.

[0033] The workbench 1 is provided with a collection box 6 and a waste box 7. The collection box 6 is located outside the first opening 41, and the waste box 7 is located outside the second opening 42.

[0034] The second baffle 44 is an integral structure with the surrounding ring 4; the second baffle 44 is inclinedly disposed inside the sorting groove 21. This improves the smoothness and efficiency of sorting defective products, ensuring that defective chip capacitors can be accurately sorted into the waste bin 7.

[0035] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The rotary motor 11 inside the workbench 1 starts, and its output drives the turntable 12 to rotate. Since the sorting tray 2 is fixedly connected to the turntable 12, the sorting tray 2 rotates on the workbench 1 accordingly. The surface-mount capacitor is placed in the sorting slot 21 of the sorting tray 2. As the sorting tray 2 rotates, the surface-mount capacitor passes through each sorting stage sequentially. When the surface-mount capacitor rotates with the sorting slot 21 to below the camera 31, the camera 31 captures an image of the capacitor, obtains its image information, and transmits the image information to the control system. The control system analyzes the image using a preset algorithm to determine whether the surface-mount capacitor is qualified.

[0036] If the control system determines that the surface mount capacitor is a qualified product, the lifting motor 45 starts, and its output terminal drives the first baffle 43 to descend. The first baffle 43 extends above the telescopic plate 5. As the first baffle 43 descends, it squeezes the telescopic plate 5, compressing the spring 51. The telescopic plate 5 retracts into the telescopic groove, and the first opening 41 opens. Qualified surface mount capacitors, driven by the rotation of the sorting tray 2, fall through the first opening 41 into the outer collection box 6. When the surface mount capacitor is a defective product, the lifting motor 45 drives the first baffle 43 to rise. The telescopic plate 5 rises under the action of the spring 51, limiting the first opening 41. Defective surface mount capacitors continue to rotate with the sorting tray 2 to the second opening 42, and fall into the outer waste box 7 under the action of the second baffle 44, completing the sorting process.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical methods of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical methods of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical methods of this utility model.
