Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capacitance detection technology, and in particular to a six-sided appearance sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the later stages of MLCC (Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor) manufacturing, the detection of defects such as dirt, deformation, breakage, scratches, cracks, and bulging mainly relies on manual visual inspection. The current method involves laying out bulk materials at the inspection station, where operators use tweezers or vacuum pens to flip each capacitor individually and visually compare it to a standard sample. Each capacitor requires at least two flips to complete six-sided observation. This manual inspection is frequent and inefficient, and the force applied during manual flipping is uncontrollable. Secondary contact during flipping can introduce new scratches and chips, causing secondary damage. Furthermore, prolonged and repetitive eye strain can lead to visual fatigue and misjudgments, affecting the accuracy of the inspection. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a six-sided appearance sorting device, which facilitates the inspection of all six sides of surface mount capacitors.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A six-sided appearance sorting device includes a table and a transparent turntable mounted on the table. The turntable rotates horizontally around its center under the drive of a motor. A vibratory feeding mechanism, a guiding mechanism, a six-sided detection mechanism, and a receiving device are sequentially arranged around the turntable along the direction of rotation. The vibratory feeding mechanism places the components to be tested one by one onto the turntable. The guiding mechanism adjusts the position and orientation of the components on the turntable. The six-sided detection mechanism photographs the six sides of the components to be tested and identifies defects. The receiving device includes a frame mounted on the table. The frame contains several material boxes arranged along the rotation direction. Each material box has an opening near the edge of the turntable. A bracket is rotatably connected to the top of the frame. Adjustable components corresponding to the number of material boxes are spaced apart on the bracket. Each adjustable component is equipped with an air blowing solenoid valve. The bracket has a first state where the adjustable component is close to the turntable and a second state where the adjustable component is away from the turntable. In the first state, the nozzle of the air blowing solenoid valve faces the opening of the material box, and the running path of the component under test is located between the air blowing solenoid valve and the opening.

[0006] Preferably, the six-sided detection mechanism includes six shooting adjustment seats spaced apart along the rotation direction of the turntable, and each shooting adjustment seat includes a base that is movably connected to the table surface.

[0007] Preferably, the base is provided with a plurality of adjustment holes, the adjustment holes being arc-shaped elongated holes, the center lines of the plurality of adjustment holes being located on at least one circle formed with a center, the platform being provided with a pin inserted into the adjustment hole, the diameter of the pin being the same as the width of the adjustment hole, the side of the base being provided with a threaded hole, the threaded hole extending through the adjustment hole along the length direction, the threaded hole being provided with an adjustment screw, the end of the adjustment screw abutting against the pin.

[0008] Preferably, the base is provided with a column and a slider that is vertically slidably connected to the column. The side of the slider is provided with an adjusting rod for fixing the slider and the column. The slider includes an upper slider and a lower slider. An industrial camera is provided on the upper slider and a light source is provided on the lower slider.

[0011] Preferably, the material box is provided with a pull handle on the side away from the opening, the material box is slidably connected to the frame, and the frame is provided with a knob to prevent the material box from sliding out.

[0012] Preferably, the frame is equipped with a sensor to detect whether the material box is in place.

[0013] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0014] This utility model of a six-sided appearance sorting device achieves automatic feeding, inspection, and collection of components by installing a vibrating feeding mechanism, a guiding mechanism, a six-sided inspection mechanism, and a collecting device around a turntable. It performs appearance inspection on all six sides of the product, distinguishing between good, defective, and retestable products, making it more efficient and accurate.

[0023] 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.

[0024] 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.

[0025] 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.

[0026] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 The diagram shows a six-sided appearance sorting device according to this utility model, including a table 1 and a transparent turntable 2 mounted on the table 1. The turntable 2 rotates around its own center on a horizontal plane under the drive of a motor. Around the turntable 2 and along the direction of rotation, a vibrating feeding mechanism 3, a guiding mechanism 4, a six-sided detection mechanism 5, and a receiving device 6 are sequentially installed on the table 1. The vibrating feeding mechanism 3 is used to place the components to be tested one by one on the turntable 2. The guiding mechanism 4 is used to adjust the position and orientation of the cuboid components to be tested on the turntable 2. The six-sided detection mechanism 5 is used to photograph the six faces of the components to be tested and judge their defects.

[0027] The receiving device 6 includes a frame 61 mounted on the table 1, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 As shown, the frame 61 contains several material boxes 62 arranged along the rotation direction of the turntable 2. Each material box 62 has an opening 621 near the edge of the turntable 2. A bracket 63 rotatably connected to the top of the frame 61 is mounted on the top of the frame 61. Adjusting members 64 corresponding to the number of material boxes 62 are installed at intervals on the bracket 63. An air blowing solenoid valve 65 is mounted on the adjusting member 64. The bracket 63 has a first state where the adjusting member 64 is close to the turntable 2 and a second state where the adjusting member 64 is upward away from the turntable 2. In the first state, the nozzle of the air blowing solenoid valve 65 faces the opening 621 of the material box 62. The running path of the component under test is located between the air blowing solenoid valve 65 and the opening 621. When the component after being inspected by the six-sided inspection mechanism 5 passes in front of the material box 62, the air blowing solenoid valve 65 blows the component into the corresponding material box 62 according to the different defects detected in the component, such as appearance defects, electroplating defects, cracks, etc. The material box 62 at the end of the path is used to receive components with undetected defects. The rotating structure of the bracket 63 facilitates the replacement of the turntable 2. When the turntable 2 is worn or dirty and needs to be replaced, simply rotate the bracket 63 upwards to lift the structure in front of the material box 62 located above the turntable 2, without disassembling any parts, making the replacement of the turntable 2 more convenient and quick. In addition, one side of the receiving device 6 also has a scraper 10 for blocking the advancement of components. When a component is missed and not blown into any material box 62 as it passes by, the scraper 10 restricts the component from continuing to rotate with the turntable 2, so as to prevent it from being mixed with the components to be tested and disrupting the working rhythm of the equipment. A normally open air blowing device blows the components blocked by the scraper 10 into the receiving box for manual handling, reducing the error rate.

[0028] The six-sided inspection mechanism 5 includes six imaging adjustment seats installed at intervals along the rotation direction of the turntable 2, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 5 As shown, the shooting adjustment base includes a base 51 that is movably connected to the table surface 1. Several adjustment holes 511 are machined on the base 51. The adjustment holes 511 are elongated arc-shaped holes, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 6 As shown, the center lines of several adjustment holes 511 are located on at least one circle formed around a central point. In this embodiment, the adjustment holes 511 form two concentric circles. The platform 1 has pins 7 inserted into the adjustment holes 511. The diameter of the pins 7 is the same as the width of the adjustment holes 511. The base 51 can be rotated and adjusted around the center, allowing the shooting adjustment base to be adjusted to face the appropriate direction according to the on-site conditions. The side of the base 51 is machined with threaded holes 512, which pass through the adjustment holes 511 along the length direction. An adjustment screw is screwed into the threaded hole 512, and the end of the adjustment screw abuts against the pin 7. Rotating the adjustment screws on both sides of the adjustment hole 511 abuts against the pin 7 to fix the base 51.

[0029] A column 57, horizontally slidably connected to the base 51, is mounted on the base 51. The column 57 can be adjusted to move closer to or further away from the turntable 2. A slider 52, vertically slidably connected to the column 57, is mounted on the side of the slider 52. An adjusting rod 53 is mounted on the side of the slider 52 to fix the slider 52 and the column. The slider 52 includes an upper slider 52 and a lower slider 52. An industrial camera 54 for photographing the component under test (DUT) is mounted on the upper slider 52. The industrial camera 54 is connected to a magnifying lens to magnify and inspect surface defects of the DUT. A light source 55 is mounted on the lower slider 52 to make the image brighter and clearer. The light source 55 is installed in different positions depending on the surface being photographed. Inclined reflectors 56 are mounted on the lower sliders 52 of four of the six photographing adjustment seats. The four reflectors 56 are used to reflect the images of the four sides of the DUT perpendicular to the turntable 2 onto the lens of the industrial camera 54 above. The industrial camera for photographing the bottom surface of the DUT is located below the turntable 2.

[0030] One side of the alignment mechanism 4 is equipped with an optical fiber sensing device for sensing the passage of the component under test, providing a step for the subsequent six-sided inspection mechanism to take pictures.

[0031] A pull-out handle 66 is installed on the side of the material box 62 away from the opening 621. The material box 62 is slidably connected to the frame 61. A knob 67 is installed on the frame 61 to prevent the material box 62 from sliding out, thus avoiding the material box 62 from falling out due to resonance or other external forces and affecting material collection. A sensor is installed on the frame 61 to sense whether the material box 62 is in place. When the material box 62 is full or is removed for other reasons, the equipment stops working to avoid component damage.

[0032] A cantilever is installed between the vibrating feeding mechanism 3 and the receiving device 6, suspended above the turntable 2. A brush 8 is installed on the cantilever, which contacts the running path of the component to be tested on the turntable 2. The brush 8 is driven to rotate by a rotary motor 9 to clean the turntable 2.

[0033] This utility model discloses a six-sided appearance sorting device. By installing a vibrating feeding mechanism, a guiding mechanism, a six-sided detection mechanism, and a receiving device around the turntable, it realizes the functions of automatic feeding, detection, and receiving of the components to be tested. It performs appearance detection on six sides of the product, distinguishing between good products, defective products, and products requiring retesting, making it more efficient and accurate.
