Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chip capacitor production equipment, and in particular to a thick plastic plate flipping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, fully automated end-sealing machines / production lines for surface mount capacitors typically use a stencil as the carrier for transferring the capacitors. Specifically, as detailed in Chinese Utility Model Patent CN218849426U, the end-sealing process involves first applying an adhesive film to one side of the stencil to seal one end of the mesh. After the film is smoothly adhered, the surface mount capacitors are inserted into the mesh, and the adhesive film adheres hundreds of miniature capacitors to the stencil, preventing them from falling off. Then, the other end of the capacitors without adhesive film is dipped in resin for end-sealing. During this insertion process, the ends of the surface mount capacitors are aligned by the adhesive film. However, due to potential manufacturing tolerances (such as varying lengths) in the surface mount capacitors themselves, the ends to be sealed within the same stencil are difficult to align perfectly after insertion, resulting in poor consistency in the resin dipping process and significantly affecting the end-sealing quality.

[0003] Therefore, to ensure the sealing quality of surface mount capacitors, some manufacturers have begun to use thick plastic plates instead of stencils as the transport carrier for surface mount capacitors. The thick plastic plate is a carrier that fixes the surface mount capacitor using silicone clamps. Therefore, to successfully implant the surface mount capacitor into the holes of the thick plastic plate, a guide plate needs to be placed on top of the thick plastic plate. First, the surface mount capacitor is implanted into the guide hole of the guide plate by vibration. Then, a bed of needles presses the surface mount capacitor located in the guide plate into the hole of the thick plastic plate, thus completing the implantation process of the surface mount capacitor into the thick plastic plate.

[0004] Because the thick plastic sheet is heavy, it is usually flipped manually throughout the sealing process of surface mount capacitors, which greatly increases the labor cost in the sealing process. In addition, too much manual intervention is not conducive to improving the sealing efficiency of surface mount capacitors. Utility Model Content

[0034] Thick rubber sheet 93, mounting slot 931. Detailed Implementation

[0035] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0036] This technical solution provides a thick plastic sheet turning mechanism, including a feeding conveyor 41, a lifting platform 42, a feeding conveyor 43, and a turning device 44;

[0037] The material feeding and conveying device 41 includes a conveyor frame 411 and a conveyor tray 412. The conveyor tray 412 is horizontally movably installed on the top of the conveyor frame 411 and is used to hold the thick rubber sheet 93.

[0038] The lifting platform 42, the feeding conveying device 43, and the tilting device 44 are arranged in a top-to-bottom arrangement at the feeding end of the conveyor frame 411, with the lifting platform 42 and the feeding conveying device 43 located at the inner bottom of the conveyor frame 411, and the tilting device 44 mounted on the top of the conveyor frame 411.

[0039] The lifting platform 42 can move up and down relative to the feeding conveyor 43 and the tilting device 44, and the lifting platform 42 can pass through the conveying surfaces of the feeding conveyor 43 and the unloading conveyor 41; the conveying tray 412 is U-shaped, and a clearance opening is provided in the middle of the conveying tray 412, and the clearance opening is used to avoid the lifting platform 42.

[0040] Because the thick plastic sheet is heavy, it is usually flipped manually throughout the sealing process of surface mount capacitors, which greatly increases the labor cost in the sealing process. In addition, too much manual intervention is not conducive to improving the sealing efficiency of surface mount capacitors.

[0041] Therefore, in order to achieve automatic flipping of the thick plastic sheet 93, this technical solution proposes a thick plastic sheet flipping mechanism, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a feeding conveyor 41 for unloading the thick rubber sheet 93 after flipping, a lifting platform 42, a feeding conveyor 43 for loading the thick rubber sheet 93 before flipping, and a flipping device 44, which realizes the continuous, smooth and stable flipping action of the thick rubber sheet 93.

[0042] Specifically, the flipping process of a thick rubber sheet flipping mechanism in this solution includes the following steps:

[0043] (1) The thick rubber sheet 93 conveyed from the previous process is transported to the top of the lifting platform 42 using the feeding conveyor 43, while the conveying pallet 412 is moved away from the feeding end of the conveyor frame 411.

[0044] (2) The lifting platform 42 moves upward and lifts the thick rubber plate 93 away from the conveying surface of the feeding conveyor 43, and then the flipping device 44 clamps the thick rubber plate 93.

[0045] (3) The lifting platform 42 moves downward and provides sufficient space for the flipping device 44 to flip. At the same time, the conveying pallet 412 is moved to the bottom of the flipping device 44, and the flipping device 44 flips the thick rubber plate 93 180°.

[0046] (4) After the lifting platform 42 moves upward and retrieves the thick rubber plate 93, the thick rubber plate 93 is placed on top of the conveyor tray 412;

[0047] (5) The conveyor tray 412 is conveyed forward and the thick rubber sheet 93 is conveyed to the unloading end of the conveyor frame 411 to complete the flipping action.

[0048] It should be noted that the feeding and conveying device 43 in this solution is a conventional conveying mechanism in the field, which can be a conveyor belt, and is not limited here.

[0049] To further explain, the flipping device 44 includes two sets of flipping components arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction, and the two sets of flipping components are respectively mounted on both sides of the conveyor frame 411;

[0050] The flipping assembly includes a flipping mounting bracket 441, a lateral extension cylinder 442, a flipping motor 443, and a flipping gripper 444;

[0051] The lateral extension cylinder 442 is detachably mounted to the conveyor frame 411 via the flip mounting bracket 441;

[0052] The output end of the lateral extension cylinder 442 can be away from and close to the center of the conveyor frame 411, and the output end of the lateral extension cylinder 442 is equipped with the flipping motor 443;

[0053] The output end of the flipping motor 443 is mounted on the flipping gripper 444 for holding the thick rubber plate 93, and the flipping gripper 444 rotates relative to the conveyor frame 411 via the flipping motor 443.

[0054] In another preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the flipping device 44 includes two sets of flipping assemblies for clamping the thick plastic sheet 93. Each flipping assembly includes a lateral extension cylinder 442 and a flipping motor 443, which respectively enable the flipping gripper 444 to move horizontally and rotate. These two driving structures allow the flipping assembly to flexibly and effectively clamp and flip the heavy thick plastic sheet 93, ensuring smooth and stable operation of the flipping action.

[0055] Furthermore, the feeding and conveying device 41 also includes a fixing block 413, which protrudes from the outer side wall of the conveyor frame 411. The flipping mounting bracket 441 is detachably mounted to the conveyor frame 411 via the fixing block 413.

[0056] The outer side wall of the fixing block 413 is provided with a positioning block 4131, and the lower part of the flip mounting bracket 441 is provided with an adjustment through hole 4411, and the adjustment through hole 4411 is elongated. The adjustment through hole 4411 is used to accommodate the positioning block 4131.

[0057] Since the adjustment through hole 4411 is elongated, the installation height of the flipping device 44 relative to the conveyor frame 411 can be adjusted by the installation position of the positioning block 4131 relative to the adjustment through hole 4411. This makes it easier to reserve sufficient space for flipping according to the size of the thick rubber plate 93, which is beneficial to improving the versatility of the flipping device 44.

[0058] To further explain, the outer side wall of the fixing block 413 is recessed inward to form a mounting countersunk hole 4132, and the mounting countersunk hole 4132 is located on both sides of the positioning block 4131.

[0059] The lower part of the flip mounting bracket 441 is provided with a mounting through hole 4412, and the mounting through hole 4412 is located on both sides of the adjustment through hole 4411. The mounting through hole 4412 is elongated.

[0060] The fastener passes through the mounting through hole 4412 and the mounting countersunk hole 4132 in sequence, so that the flip mounting bracket 441 is mounted on the fixing block 413.

[0061] This design uses fasteners (such as screws) to pass through the mounting through hole 4412 and the mounting countersunk hole 4132 in sequence, so that the flip mounting bracket 441 is installed on the fixing block 413, which makes it easier to adjust the installation height of the flip device 44.

[0062] To further explain, the flipping gripper 444 includes a supporting part 4441 and a locking part 4442. The supporting part 4441 is fixedly installed on the output end of the flipping motor 443, and the locking part 4442 is detachably installed on the supporting part 4441.

[0063] The supporting part 4441 is U-shaped;

[0064] The cross-sectional shape of the mounting part 4442 is convex, and the mounting part 4442 matches the mounting groove 931 opened on the edge of the thick rubber plate 93.

[0065] On the one hand, the U-shaped support portion 4441 can limit the edges of the three sides of the thick plastic plate 93, which helps to improve the support of the flipping claw 444 for the heavy thick plastic plate 93 and prevent it from falling out of the flipping claw 444 during the flipping process. On the other hand, the "convex" shaped clamping portion 4442 can match the clamping groove 931 opened on the edge of the thick plastic plate 93, such as Figure 5 As shown, this is more conducive to improving the clamping stability of the thick rubber plate 93 in the flipping gripper 444.

[0066] To further explain, the upper surface of the conveying tray 412 is provided with a plurality of support blocks 414, and the plurality of support blocks 414 are used to support the thick rubber plate 93.

[0067] This facilitates the positioning and conveying of the thick rubber plate 93, and also makes it easier for other devices to clamp the thick rubber plate 93.
