[0003] During the production of surface mount capacitors, some surface mount capacitors inevitably have appearance defects such as cracks and deformation. In order to ensure the overall quality of surface mount capacitors and meet the assembly requirements of electronic products, it is necessary to sort the surface mount capacitors and remove those with appearance defects. However, due to the small size of surface mount capacitors, the traditional manual sorting method is inefficient, labor-intensive, and prone to sorting errors, resulting in low production efficiency and increased costs. Therefore, this application proposes a surface mount capacitor sorting device. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] This embodiment provides a chip capacitor sorting device, the structural schematic of which is shown below. Figures 1-5As shown, the system includes a sorting table 1, on which a turntable 2 is rotatably mounted. A first stepper motor 12 is installed at the bottom of the sorting table 1 to drive the turntable 2 to rotate. A laser scanner 4 is installed on one side of the top of the sorting table 1. The turntable 2, carrying capacitors, can rotate and pass under the laser scanner 4. A pair of receiving boxes 9 and a conveying mechanism 6 are also arranged around the perimeter of the sorting table 1. The conveying mechanism 6, the pair of receiving boxes 9, and the laser scanner 4 are distributed on the four sides of the sorting table 1. A feeding mechanism 11 is installed on the sorting table 1, which can feed the capacitors on the turntable 2 into the receiving boxes 9. Through this structure, the conveying mechanism 6 transports the chip capacitors onto the turntable 2. The first stepper motor 12 drives the turntable 2 to rotate, carrying the chip capacitors to the area under the laser scanner 4. The laser scanner 4 scans the chip capacitors and detects surface defects such as cracks and deformation. When no appearance defects are found, the turntable 2 is driven to rotate and transport the chip capacitor to one of the receiving boxes 9. The feeding mechanism 11 then feeds the qualified chip capacitor into the corresponding receiving box 9 for collection. When an appearance defect is found in the chip capacitor, the turntable 2 is driven to rotate and transport the chip capacitor to another receiving box 9. The feeding mechanism 11 then feeds the chip capacitor into that receiving box 9 for collection. The conveying mechanism 6 continuously transports the chip capacitors. The turntable 2 carries the chip capacitors and scans them under the laser scanner 4. With the feeding mechanism 11, the automated continuous inspection and sorting of chip capacitors can be achieved. Chip capacitors with appearance defects are picked out, meeting the quality control requirements of chip capacitors. The overall automation level is high, reducing manual intervention and making the sorting of chip capacitors more efficient. It is suitable for batch sorting of chip capacitors.

[0025] In this embodiment, a work station slot 3 is provided on the upper surface of the turntable 2. There are four work station slots 3 arranged in a ring. Each work station slot 3 penetrates the side wall of the turntable 2. The upper surfaces of the turntable 2 and the sorting table 1 are flush. As a result, the capacitor patch falls into the work station slot 3, which facilitates the single continuous sorting operation of the capacitor patch.

[0026] Furthermore, a first discharge port 7 and a second discharge port 8 are respectively provided on the upper surface of the sorting table 1 at the positions corresponding to a pair of receiving boxes 9. The first discharge port 7 and the second discharge port 8 penetrate through the side wall of the sorting table 1. The rotation of the turntable 2 can align and connect the work station slot 3 with the first discharge port 7 and the second discharge port 8. When the tested capacitor chips are transferred and collected, the first discharge port 7 or the second discharge port 8 can form a transfer channel with the work station slot 3, ensuring that the capacitor chips can be smoothly transferred into the receiving box 9 for collection.

[0027] In a further embodiment, the feeding mechanism 11 includes a shaft 14 vertically rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the sorting table 1. The shaft 14 is located between the first discharge port 7 and the second discharge port 8. A swing arm 15 is horizontally fixed at the top of the shaft 14, and an electric push rod 16 is vertically mounted at the end of the swing arm 15. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 16 is vertically downward and connected to a paddle 17. A second stepper motor 18 for driving the shaft 14 to rotate is mounted on the lower surface of the sorting table 1. A controller 5 connected to the second stepper motor 18 is mounted on the laser scanner 4. An adapter slot 13 is provided on the side of the workstation slot 3 facing the middle of the turntable 2. The adapter slot 13 is connected to the workstation slot 3, and the paddle 17 can extend into the adapter slot 13. After the laser scanner 4 scans and detects the capacitor patch, it feeds back the scanning information to the controller 5. The controller 5 then controls the second stepper motor 18. When the machine 18 sends a signal and no appearance defects are found in the surface mount capacitor, the first stepper motor 12 drives the turntable 2 to rotate, rotating and conveying the surface mount capacitor to the second discharge port 8. At this time, the second stepper motor 18 starts, driving the shaft 14 and the swing arm 15 to rotate. Then, the electric push rod 16 is activated to push the paddle 17 into the corresponding adapter slot 13 of the surface mount capacitor. The shaft 14 and the swing arm 15 are driven to rotate again, so that the paddle 17 conveys the surface mount capacitor with qualified appearance through the second discharge port 8 to the corresponding receiving box 9 for collection. When an appearance defect is found in the surface mount capacitor, the first stepper motor 12 drives the turntable 2 to rotate, rotating and conveying the surface mount capacitor to the first discharge port 7. At this time, the second stepper motor 18 starts, and the surface mount capacitor is conveyed through the first discharge port 7 to the corresponding receiving box 9 for collection. This realizes the sorting of surface mount capacitors.

[0028] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 6 includes a conveying platform 19 disposed on one side of the sorting platform 1 and a conveyor belt 20 mounted on the conveying platform 19. A support frame 22 is provided at the bottom of the conveying platform 19, and columns 10 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the sorting platform 1. The conveying platform 19 is set higher than the sorting platform 1, and the conveyor belt 20 extends to the turntable 2 at one end facing the sorting platform 1. A number of protruding ridges 21 are provided at equal intervals on the surface of the conveyor belt 20.

[0029] Working principle: During use, the chip capacitor is placed on the conveyor belt 20 and conveyed towards the turntable 2. After the chip capacitor falls into the work station slot 3 on the turntable 2, the first stepper motor 12 is started to drive the turntable 2 to rotate, so that the work station slot 3 supporting the chip capacitor rotates to below the laser scanner 4. The laser scanner 4 scans the chip capacitor to detect appearance defects such as cracks and deformation on the surface of the chip capacitor. When no appearance defects are found, the first stepper motor 12 drives the turntable 2 to rotate, rotating and conveying the chip capacitor to the second discharge port 8. At this time, the second stepper motor 18 is started to rotate, driving the shaft 14 and the swing arm 15 to rotate. Then, the electric push rod 16 is started to push the lever 17 to extend into the corresponding adapter slot 13 of the chip capacitor. The drive shaft 14 and swing arm 15 rotate again, causing the paddle 17 to push the surface-mount capacitor that meets the appearance requirements through the second discharge port 8 to the corresponding receiving box 9 for collection. When a surface-mount capacitor is found to have an appearance defect, the first stepper motor 12 drives the turntable 2 to rotate, rotating and conveying the surface-mount capacitor to the first discharge port 7. In the above manner, the surface-mount capacitor is pushed through the first discharge port 7 to the corresponding receiving box 9 for collection. Thus, the conveyor belt 20 continuously conveys the surface-mount capacitors, and the turntable 2 supports the surface-mount capacitors for scanning and detection under the laser scanner 4. With the rotation and pushing of the paddle 17, the automated continuous detection and sorting operation of surface-mount capacitors can be realized, and surface-mount capacitors with appearance defects can be picked out, thus meeting the quality control of surface-mount capacitors.

[0030] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
