Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capacitance testing, specifically to an integrated mechanism for capacitance straightening testing. Background Technology
[0002] Supercapacitors, also known as electrochemical capacitors or electric double-layer capacitors, are an innovative energy storage technology that falls between traditional capacitors and batteries. Their working principle is based on charge separation and electric field storage, achieving efficient energy storage through electrolyte polarization. This process is highly reversible, allowing supercapacitors to cycle up to hundreds of thousands of times. With their high power density, long cycle life, rapid charge-discharge capability, and stable operation over a wide temperature range, supercapacitors have shown broad application prospects in numerous fields.
[0003] During capacitor testing, to ensure accuracy and safety, the capacitor typically needs to be positioned and tested. Current capacitor testing primarily uses a transmission system to control a mechanical structure that drives a test assembly to test the capacitor. Capacitor testing generally involves using a test assembly to clamp the capacitor's two terminals, allowing for testing of capacitance, ESR (equivalent series resistance), and leakage current.
[0004] However, while existing capacitor testing methods meet the requirements of capacitors to some extent, some shortcomings remain. The capacitor testing process typically requires lead alignment and voltage testing. However, in current supercapacitor testing procedures, these two crucial steps usually rely on separate mechanical devices—a separate alignment mechanism and a separate testing mechanism. This discrete operation not only significantly increases the physical space required for the testing equipment but also adds extra equipment and maintenance costs, thus affecting the overall efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the testing process. Specifically, traditional testing solutions lack a comprehensive design that integrates alignment and voltage testing functions, making the entire testing process cumbersome and uneconomical. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing an integrated capacitor straightening and testing mechanism. This solves the technical problem in the background art where separate straightening and voltage testing mechanisms are required, resulting in a large overall space occupation and increased equipment cost due to the driving of multiple mechanisms, thus affecting usability.
[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following means:
[0007] A capacitor straightening and testing integrated mechanism includes a support base, on which a straightening station for straightening capacitors and a testing station for testing capacitors are provided. The straightening station is equipped with a clamping and straightening component for straightening capacitors, and the testing station is equipped with a clamping and testing component for testing the straightened capacitors. A clamping driver is provided on the support base, with clamping ends formed at both ends of the clamping driver. The clamping driver is connected to the straightening clamping component and the clamping and testing component through the clamping ends. The clamping driver can drive the straightening clamping component and the clamping and testing component to perform linkage control, so that they can complete the straightening and testing of capacitors.
[0008] Furthermore, as described above, the two ends of the clamping driver are connected to an upper drive plate and a lower drive plate via clamping ends, and the upper drive plate and the lower drive plate are symmetrically mounted on both ends of the clamping driver.
[0009] The clamping driver can drive the upper and lower drive boards to perform opening and closing clamping actions through the clamping end, and can also drive the straightening clamping component and the clamping test component to straighten and clamp the capacitor for testing.
[0010] Furthermore, as described above, the clamping driver is made of a bidirectional cylinder, and the clamping driver can drive the upper drive plate and the lower drive plate to move closer or further apart through the clamping end.
[0011] The bidirectional cylinder setting of the clamping driver can simultaneously control the upper and lower drive plates to perform clamping and opening actions. The clamping driver can also link and control the straightening clamping component and the clamping test component to form an integrated setup. The clamping driver can drive the straightening clamping component and the clamping test component to perform straightening and clamping tests simultaneously.
[0012] Furthermore, as described above, the clamping and straightening assembly includes an upper straightening jaw and a lower straightening jaw, which are respectively mounted on the inner sides of the upper drive plate and the lower drive plate. The upper straightening jaw and the lower straightening jaw have upper and lower grooves formed on them for pairing and clamping capacitors.
[0013] The upper and lower straightening jaws can clamp, straighten, and position the capacitor's pins. The upper and lower grooves ensure that the capacitor's pins are aligned, allowing the capacitor to enter the testing station stably and accurately after straightening. This also facilitates subsequent clamping and testing of the capacitor's pins by the clamping and testing components.
[0014] Further as described above, the clamping test assembly includes a test plate, an upper test gripper, a lower test gripper, an upper connecting block, and a lower connecting block. The upper connecting block and the lower connecting block are respectively connected to the sides of the upper drive plate and the lower drive plate. The upper test gripper and the lower test gripper are respectively connected to the upper connecting block and the lower connecting block via connectors. The test plate is connected to the support base via a connecting plate, and the test plate is disposed between the upper test gripper and the lower test gripper.
[0015] The capacitor's pins are pre-aligned and positioned at the alignment station, ensuring the capacitor enters the test station stably. The upper and lower test jaws then pair with the test board to clamp the capacitor's positive and negative pins onto the upper and lower surfaces of the test board, allowing for clamping and testing of the capacitor. This pin alignment process further ensures the accuracy and reliability of the capacitor clamping test.
[0016] Optionally, in some embodiments, the upper test jaws and lower test jaws can be used to perform voltage testing, capacitance testing, ESR (equivalent series resistance) testing, open-circuit / short-circuit testing, or charging testing on the capacitor. Different test boards, upper test jaws, and lower test jaws can be replaced according to specific usage requirements.
[0017] Furthermore, as described above, the clamping driver can drive the straightening clamping assembly to perform a clamping and straightening action on the capacitor through the clamping end, and can also drive the clamping test assembly to perform clamping test on the capacitor at the same time.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By integrating the capacitor alignment and testing functions into the same mechanism, the problem of large space occupation caused by the separation of alignment and testing equipment in traditional solutions is solved. This saves space and equipment costs associated with multiple mechanisms, and improves the neatness and ease of operation of the mechanism. The support base is equipped with an alignment station and a testing station. At the same time, the clamping driver connects the clamping and alignment component and the clamping and testing component through the clamping ends at both ends, realizing the linkage control between the two. This ensures that the capacitor can be smoothly transferred to the testing station after alignment, so that the alignment and testing of the capacitor can be completed continuously with a single drive of the clamping driver. The clamping and alignment component and the clamping and testing component respectively meet the alignment and testing requirements of the capacitor, achieving precise and stable operation. The clamping and alignment component ensures accurate alignment of the capacitor pins, while the clamping and testing component can perform efficient and accurate testing based on alignment, improving the accuracy and reliability of the test.

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0030] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-5 The specific implementation of the integrated capacitor straightening and testing mechanism includes a support base 10. The support base 10 is provided with a straightening station for straightening the capacitor 300 and a testing station for testing the capacitor 300. The straightening station is provided with a clamping and straightening component 50 for straightening the capacitor 300, and the testing station is provided with a clamping and testing component 60 for testing the straightened capacitor 300. The support base 10 is provided with a clamping driver 20. The clamping driver 20 has clamping ends at both ends, and the clamping driver 20 is connected to the straightening clamping component and the clamping and testing component 60 through the clamping ends. The clamping driver 20 can drive the straightening clamping component and the clamping and testing component 60 to perform linkage control, so that it can complete the straightening and testing of the capacitor 300.
[0031] The clamping driver 20 has an upper drive plate 30 and a lower drive plate 40 connected to its two ends via clamping ends. The upper drive plate 30 and the lower drive plate 40 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the clamping driver 20.
[0032] The clamping driver 20 can drive the upper drive board 30 and the lower drive board 40 to perform opening and closing clamping actions through the clamping end, and can also drive the straightening clamping component and the clamping test component 60 to straighten and clamp the capacitor 300 for testing.
[0033] The clamping driver 20 is made of a bidirectional cylinder. The clamping driver 20 can drive the upper drive plate 30 and the lower drive plate 40 to move closer or further apart through the clamping end.
[0034] The bidirectional cylinder setting of the clamping driver 20 can simultaneously control the upper drive plate 30 and the lower drive plate 40 to perform clamping and opening actions. The clamping driver 20 can achieve linkage control of the straightening clamping component and the clamping test component 60, making them an integrated set. The clamping driver 20 can drive the straightening clamping component and the clamping test component 60 to perform straightening and clamping tests simultaneously.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 The clamping and straightening assembly 50 includes an upper straightening jaw 51 and a lower straightening jaw 52. The upper straightening jaw 51 and the lower straightening jaw 52 are respectively installed on the adjacent inner sides of the upper drive plate 30 and the lower drive plate 40. The upper straightening jaw 51 and the lower straightening jaw 52 are formed with upper grooves 53 and lower grooves 54 for pairing and clamping capacitors 300.
[0036] The upper and lower straightening jaws 51 and 52 can clamp, straighten, and position the pins of capacitor 300. The upper and lower grooves 53 and 54 clamp capacitor 300 to ensure that the pins of capacitor 300 are aligned. This allows capacitor 300 to enter the test station stably and accurately after straightening, and facilitates the subsequent clamping and testing of the capacitor 300 pins by the clamping and testing assembly 60.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The clamping test assembly 60 includes a test plate 61, an upper test gripper 62, a lower test gripper 63, an upper connecting block 64, and a lower connecting block 65. The upper connecting block 64 and the lower connecting block 65 are respectively connected to the sides of the upper drive plate 30 and the lower drive plate 40. The upper test gripper 62 and the lower test gripper 63 are respectively connected to the upper connecting block 64 and the lower connecting block 65 through a connector 66. The test plate 61 is connected to the support base 10 through a connecting plate 67, and the test plate 61 is disposed between the upper test gripper 62 and the lower test gripper 63.
[0038] The capacitor 300's pins are pre-aligned and positioned at the alignment station, ensuring its stable entry into the test station. The upper test gripper 62 and lower test gripper 63 then clamp the positive and negative pins of the capacitor 300 onto the upper and lower surfaces of the test board 61, allowing for clamping and testing of the capacitor 300. This pin alignment process further ensures the accuracy and reliability of the capacitor 300 clamping and testing.
[0039] Optionally, in some embodiments, the upper test jaw 62 and the lower test jaw 63 can be used to perform voltage testing, capacitance testing, ESR (equivalent series resistance) testing, open-circuit and short-circuit testing, or charging testing on the capacitor 300. Different test boards 61, upper test jaws 62, and lower test jaws 63 can be replaced according to specific usage requirements.
[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper test gripper 62 and the lower test gripper 63 are used to hold the pins of the capacitor 300 for voltage testing.
[0041] The clamping driver 20 can drive the straightening clamping component to clamp and straighten the capacitor 300 through the clamping end, and can also drive the clamping test component 60 to perform clamping tests on the capacitor 300 simultaneously. By integrating the straightening and testing functions, the two independent device drive settings in traditional solutions are avoided, reducing equipment costs. Specifically, the clamping and straightening component 50 ensures accurate alignment of the capacitor 300 pins, while the clamping test component 60 can perform efficient and accurate testing based on the straightening.
[0042] This design, which integrates alignment and testing, not only overcomes the problems of large space occupation and high cost in traditional testing processes, but also significantly improves testing efficiency and accuracy, providing a more efficient and economical solution for testing supercapacitor 300.
[0043] The specific usage process in this embodiment is as follows:
[0044] For example, this embodiment is used for the straightening and voltage testing of supercapacitors, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The capacitor alignment and testing integrated mechanism is set on the side of the capacitor 300 conveyor line 100, so that the clamping and alignment component 50 and the clamping and testing component 60 on the capacitor alignment and testing integrated mechanism extend toward the conveyor line 100.
[0045] Multiple clamps 200 for holding capacitors 300 are distributed along the conveying path on the conveyor line 100. The capacitors 300 are installed in the clamps 200, and the leads of the capacitors 300 extend outward through the clamps 200. When the capacitors 300 flow along the conveyor line 100 and pass through the integrated capacitor 300 straightening and testing mechanism, the clamping driver 20 can drive the upper drive plate 30 and the lower drive plate 40 to move closer to each other, so that the upper straightening jaw 51 and the lower straightening jaw 52 can close and straighten the capacitor. The pins of capacitor 300 are clamped and aligned. At the same time, the upper drive board 30 and the lower drive board 40 can drive the upper test gripper 62 and the lower test gripper 63 to move closer to each other through the upper connecting block 64 and the lower connecting block 65 respectively. At this time, the upper test gripper 62 and the lower test gripper 63 can clamp the aligned pins of capacitor 300. The positive / negative pins are clamped by the upper test gripper 62, the lower test gripper 63 and the test board 61, so that capacitor 300 can be clamped and tested.
[0046] By integrating the capacitor 300 straightening and testing functions into the same mechanism, the problem of large space occupation caused by the separation of straightening and testing equipment in traditional solutions is solved, saving space and equipment costs of multiple mechanisms. At the same time, the clamping driver 20 is connected to the clamping and straightening component 50 and the clamping and testing component 60 through its clamping ends, realizing the linkage control between the two. This ensures that the capacitor 300 can be smoothly transferred to the testing station after straightening by the conveyor line 100. The conveyor line 100 repeatedly performs the conveying, and under the single drive of the clamping driver 20, the straightening and testing of the capacitor 300 can be completed continuously, achieving precise and stable operation and improving the accuracy and reliability of the test.
