Detailed Implementation

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or may have an intervening component present. When a component is referred to as "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have an intervening component present.

[0023] Furthermore, it should be noted that the directional terms such as left, right, up, and down used in the embodiments of this utility model are only relative concepts or references to the normal use of the product, and should not be considered restrictive. The implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0024] As attached Figure 1 The image shows a material handling device for capacitor aging according to this utility model, including a conveyor 2, which includes a base 21, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3As shown, the base 21 has three spaced support frames 22. A conveyor belt 23 is mounted on the top of the support frames 22. The conveyor belt 23 is used to transfer the stack of capacitors 1. A stop 24 is installed at one end of the conveyor 2 to restrict the movement of the stack of capacitors 1 on the conveyor belt 23. A vertical channel 25 is formed between adjacent support frames 22. One side of the conveyor 2 has a loading / unloading machine 3, and the other side has a transfer trolley 4. The loading / unloading machine 3 includes a first linear module 31, which includes a first slider 311 that moves vertically. A second linear module 32 is mounted on the first slider 311, which includes a second slider 321 that moves horizontally. Two parallel cantilever arms 33 are connected to the second slider 321. Driven by the second linear module 32, the cantilever arms 33 move through the channel 25 to move closer to or away from the transfer trolley 4. The cantilever arms 33 are used to lift the stack of capacitors 1 on the conveyor belt 23 and transfer them to the transfer trolley 4. (See attached diagram) Figure 5 As shown, a groove 11 is formed at the bottom of the frame 1 along its length, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 6 As shown, the end of the cantilever 33 is equipped with a support plate 331 for supporting the frame 1. The top surface of the support plate 331 has a protrusion 332 that can be inserted into the groove 11, making the support plate 331 more stable and less prone to slippage when supporting the frame 1. The width of the protrusion 332 gradually decreases from bottom to top, making it easier to insert into the groove 11 and making the positioning more accurate.

[0025] As attached Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 As shown, a guide base plate 26 extending towards the bottom of the transfer trolley 4 is mounted on the base 21. Guide shaft plates 28 are mounted on both sides of the guide base plate 26, and guide pulleys 29 are evenly spaced on the guide shaft plates 28, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the transfer trolley 4 is connected to a guide plate 41 that can pass between the guide pulleys 29 on both sides. This allows the transfer trolley 4 to quickly position itself as it should when it moves to this location, improving docking efficiency. The guide plate 41 has a positioning opening 411 machined on it. A cylinder 5 is installed at the bottom of the guide base plate 26. The output end of the cylinder 5 is connected to a positioning element 51 for insertion into the positioning opening 411, ensuring the transfer trolley 4 remains in place and preventing slippage that would prevent the rack 1 from being placed regularly.

[0026] A first sensor 6 is installed on the side of the conveyor belt 23, and a second sensor 7 is installed on one end of the support plate 331, so as to sense the position of the rack 1, so that each action is executed in an orderly manner and errors are avoided.

[0027] The base 21 has an outwardly extending support 211 on the side near the transfer trolley 4. The two support 211 are located on both sides of the transfer trolley 4, making the base 21 of the conveyor 2 more stable and able to stay firmly in place, avoiding tipping and displacement. A motor 8 for driving the conveyor belt 23 is installed on the base 21, and an adjustable height foot cup 9 is installed at the bottom of the base 21.

[0028] During material unloading, the rack 1 is transferred to the conveyor 2 by other devices. The rack 1 moves forward on the conveyor belt 23 and stops due to the restriction of the blocking part 24. The cantilever 33 moves upward in the channel 25 under the drive of the first linear module 31. The protrusion 332 on the support plate 331 is inserted into the groove 11 at the bottom of the rack 1, lifting the rack 1 off the conveyor belt 23. The second linear module 32 drives the cantilever 33 to move towards the transfer trolley 4, placing the rack 1 at the appropriate position on the transfer trolley 4. The above actions are repeated to arrange the racks 1 in an orderly manner on the transfer trolley 4. During material unloading, the cantilever 33 lifts the racks 1 on the transfer trolley 4 and places them on the conveyor belt 23, so that the conveyor 2 transfers the racks 1 to another location. The multiple racks 1 on the transfer trolley 4 are taken away in sequence without manual placement, making it more efficient and orderly.

[0029] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
