Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capacitor appearance inspection, specifically a horn capacitor appearance inspection device that combines rotation, lifting, and conveying. Background Technology
[0002] Horn-shaped electrolytic capacitors, also known as horn capacitors, are a type of electrolytic capacitor named for their horn-like shape. Professionally, they are called foil-type electrolytic capacitors. Horn-shaped electrolytic capacitors are characterized by large capacitance and high voltage resistance. They are typically used in power supply circuits or medium-frequency and low-frequency circuits for functions such as power filtering, decoupling, signal coupling, time constant setting, and DC blocking. However, they are generally not suitable for AC power supply circuits. When used in DC power supply circuits, it is essential to ensure that the anode (positive terminal) is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply voltage, and the cathode (negative terminal) is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply voltage; otherwise, the capacitor may be damaged.
[0003] Traditional linear conveyor-type inspection devices can only image one side of the capacitor and cannot detect hidden defects on the back of the body. Existing rotary inspection equipment cannot observe the bottom contact surface due to the fixed clamping method. Manual inspection requires multiple flipping of the component, and motion blur is prone to occur during high-speed automation. Existing automatic equipment requires multiple stops for multi-angle inspection (such as indexing plate structure), which increases cycle time by more than 40%. The horn capacitor leads have poor rigidity, and traditional robotic arms can easily cause lead bending (occurrence rate > 3%), and scratches on the surface of the body (especially aluminum shell capacitors).
[0004] To address the technical problems described in the background art, this utility model provides a horn capacitor appearance inspection device that combines rotation, lifting, and conveying. Through a composite motion mechanism: a turntable rotation + lifting separation rotation design, the turntable continuously rotates carrying the capacitor (360° imaging without blind spots), while the lifting mechanism lifts the capacitor away from the turntable (solving the bottom detection blind spot); non-clamping lifting: negative pressure adsorption avoids surface damage caused by mechanical clamping; timing optimization algorithm: body inspection is completed during the turntable's uniform rotation (first rotation), and pin synchronous scanning (second rotation, lifting state). Utility Model Content

[0025] Example 2:
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses a horn capacitor appearance inspection device combining rotation, lifting, and conveying. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes: a rotation detection component 200; the upper end of a rotary motor 16 is threadedly connected to the lower end of a middle layer plate 12 via bolts; after the rotary motor 16 is started, it can drive a negative pressure suction cup 17 to rotate; when the negative pressure suction cup 17 rotates, it can drive the product 18 to rotate; the negative pressure suction cup 17 is fixedly connected to the upper drive shaft of the rotary motor 16; the negative pressure suction cup 17 is fixedly connected to an external air pump pipe; the product 18 is vacuum-adsorbed onto the upper end of the negative pressure suction cup 17; a light source 19 is placed on the upper end of the upper layer plate 13; an appearance inspection camera is provided on the light source 19; and the negative pressure suction cup 17 is slidably connected to the middle of the sixth workstation 1, the first workstation 2, the second workstation 3, the third workstation 4, the fifth workstation 5, the fourth workstation 6, the seventh workstation 7, the eighth workstation 8, the ninth workstation 9, and the tenth workstation 10.
