Abstract
Description
An online slurry thickness detection mechanism for chip capacitor end caps Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chip capacitor production equipment, and in particular to an online detection mechanism for the thickness of the slurry used for sealing chip capacitors. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional surface mount capacitor (SMT) end-sealing slurry spreading equipment simply spreads the slurry evenly and performs the sealing process. The spreading process involves: first, a scraper leveling the slurry in the slurry tray; then, a screw drives the slurry tray beneath the scraper to move back and forth while the scraper remains stationary. Because the gap between the scraper and the slurry tray is very small, the relative movement between them ensures a uniform slurry thickness on the tray surface.
[0003] In the existing process of sealing surface mount capacitors, a common method for applying the sealing paste involves neatly fixing multiple surface mount capacitors onto a carrier plate, ensuring that the ends of all capacitors to be sealed protrude neatly from one side of the carrier plate. The carrier plate is then pressed down onto the top of the paste in the paste tray, causing the ends of the surface mount capacitors to become coated with paste. However, in this method, some surface mount capacitors may fall into the paste tray during the dipping process, or even remain in the gap between the scraper and the paste tray. This results in uneven paste thickness on the tray, which can negatively impact the production of surface mount capacitors. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to propose an online slurry thickness detection mechanism for sealing chip capacitors, which can effectively and accurately detect the thickness of the slurry layer in the slurry tray, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0007] The slurry tray is used to hold the slurry, and the laser detector is used to detect the thickness of the slurry layer;
[0008] The mounting bracket includes two support frames and a back plate. The two support frames are respectively protrudingly disposed on both sides of the paddle tray. The rotating end of the back plate is rotatably connected to one of the support frames through a bearing seat. The adjusting end of the back plate is detachably mounted to the other support frame through screws. The laser detector is movable along the length direction of the back plate and mounted behind the back plate.
[0009] Preferably, the mounting bracket further includes an adjustment micrometer head and a compression spring;
[0010] The adjusting micrometer head and the compression spring are mounted vertically opposite to each other on a support frame connected to the adjusting end of the back plate;

[0023] 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.
[0024] This technical solution provides an online slurry thickness detection mechanism for end capping of chip capacitors, including a slurry tray 512, a mounting bracket 518, and a laser detector 519; the mounting bracket 518 is mounted on the top of the slurry tray 512, and the slurry tray 512 can move horizontally relative to the mounting bracket 518; the laser detector 519 is disposed on the side wall of the mounting bracket 518.
[0025] The slurry tray 512 is used to hold the slurry, and the laser detector 519 is used to detect the thickness of the slurry layer;
[0026] The mounting bracket 518 includes two support frames 5181 and a back plate 5182. The two support frames 5181 are respectively protruding on both sides of the paddle tray 512. The rotating end of the back plate 5182 is rotatably connected to one of the support frames 5181 through a bearing seat 5183. The adjusting end of the back plate 5182 is detachably mounted to the other support frame 5181 through a screw 5184. The laser detector 519 is movably mounted behind the back plate 5182 along the length direction of the back plate 5182.
[0027] To effectively and accurately detect the thickness of the slurry layer in the slurry tray 512, this design includes a laser detector 519 for detecting the slurry layer thickness mounted on the side wall of the mounting bracket 518, thereby improving the controllability of slurry thickness detection. Furthermore, to enhance the detection accuracy of the laser detector 519 and ensure its horizontal movement on the back plate 5182, this design optimizes the mounting structure of the back plate 5182. As shown in Figure 1-2, the back plate 5182 is installed using a combination of bearing housing 5183 and screws 5184, which facilitates adjustment and horizontal setting of the back plate 5182, thus ensuring the horizontal movement of the laser detector 519 on the back plate 5182.
[0028] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 518 also includes an adjustment micrometer head 5185 and a compression spring;
[0029] The adjusting micrometer head 5185 and the compression spring are mounted vertically opposite to each other on the support frame 5181, which is connected to the adjusting end of the back plate 5182.
[0030] The adjustment micro head 5185 is located above the back plate 5182, and the adjustment micro head 5185 can move up and down relative to the support frame 5181. The end of the adjustment micro head 5185 abuts against the top of the back plate 5182.
[0031] The compression spring is located below the back plate 5182, and the compression spring abuts between the back plate 5182 and the support frame 5181.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the solution adds an adjustment micrometer head 5185 and a compression spring (not shown in the figure) to the adjustment end of the back plate 5182 to jointly achieve the adjustment of the level of the back plate 5182, which is more conducive to further improving the detection accuracy of the laser detector 519.
[0033] To further explain, the bottom of the adjustment end of the back plate 5182 and the surface of the support frame 5181 opposite to the bottom are both provided with mounting countersunk holes 5186, which are used to accommodate the compression spring.
[0034] This effectively prevents the compression spring from detaching from the mounting bracket 518.
[0035] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 518 also includes a slide rail 5187, which is protrudingly mounted on the back plate 5182, and the extending direction of the slide rail 5187 is parallel to the length direction of the back plate 5182.
[0036] The laser detector 519 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 5187.
[0037] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 518 also includes an adjusting block 5188, which is detachably mounted on the back of the back plate 5182 and located on top of the slide rail 5187; the adjusting block 5188 abuts against the slide rail 5187.
[0038] Since there may be tolerances in the production of slide rail 5187, in order to further ensure the horizontal movement of laser detector 519 and improve its detection accuracy, this solution also adds an adjustment block 5188 behind the back plate 5182. By adjusting the block 5188 against the slide rail 5187, the local levelness of the slide rail 5187 can be finely adjusted.
[0039] To further explain, multiple adjusting blocks 5188 are provided.
