Description

The present invention relates to a receiving bag for receiving a number of tab terminals for small-sized aluminum electrolyte capacitors so as to allow the tab terminals to be conveyed to a next step while they are placed on conveying means with their predetermined attitude maintained during a conveying operation.
Further, the present invention relates to an apparatus for conveying a plurality of tab terminals for small-sized aluminum electrolyte capacitors on conveying means to a next step with their predetermined attitude maintained during a conveying operation by automatically opening a number of hollow spaces on the receiving bag one by one.
A tab terminal for a small-sized aluminum electrolyte capacitor is composed of an aluminum portion including a flat part coated with a chemically deposited film and a lead wire made of a steel material, and the aluminum portion is connected to the lead wire by welding. Generally, several hundred or several thousand tab terminals are received in a container such as a can of aluminum, a bag of polyethylene or the like as a single delivery lot size so that they are delivered from a manufacturer to a purchaser on the comlllerc i.d 1 basis.
As shown in Fig. 5, the purchaser takes out the tab terminals from the container 50 by a manual operation and the tab terminals are then supplied to a part bowl 52. The part bowl 52 is constructed such that the tab terminals are vibrated during a turning movement in the interior thereof and approach an outlet while they are increasingly assuming an upright attitude. Then, they enter a straight feeder 54 while maintaining the upright attitude in the side-by-side relationship. Thereafter, they are delivered to a next working step (not shown) from the straight feeder 54 one by one.
When the tab terminals are supplied to the part bowl 52, an operator is required to stand in the vicinity of the part bowl 52 so as to visually observe that a properly quantity of tab terminals are supplied to the part bowl without any excess or shortage in quantity at all times, resulting in a productive efficiency being reduced undesirably. In addition, if an operator's hand erroneously comes in direct contact with one of the tab terminals while they are supplied to the tab bowl 52, there arises a problem that the tab terminal is contaminated with an impurity such as a chlorine or the like, resulting in a leakage current being increased undesirably.
Another problem is that a chemically deposited film on the aluminum portion of each tab terminal is peeled off therefrom due to the vibrations during a turning movement of the tab terminals in the part bowl 52.
The present invention has been made with the foregoing background in mind.
An object of the present invention is to provide a receiving bag for receiving a number of tab terminals for small-sized aluminum electrolyte capacitors with a predetermined attitude relative to the direction of extension of the receiving bag maintained therefor.
Other object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for conveying a plurality of tab terminals for small-sized aluminum electrolyte capacitors to a next step with their predetermined attitude maintained during a conveying operation without the influence induced by vibrations which may damage or injure a chemically deposited film on each of the tab terminals.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for conveying a plurality of tab terminals for small-sized aluminum electrolyte capacitors to a next step with a predetermined attitude maintained during a conveying operation without any necessity for an operator who has been hitherto required for performing an operation for placing tab terminals in a container on a part feeder or the like means at the next step.
The present invention provides a receiving bag having a band-shaped configuration for receiving a number of tab terminals for small-sized aluminum electrolyte capacitors while a number of hollow spaces each having a plurality of tab terminals received therein are successively arranged in the direction of extension of the receiving bag in the equally spaced relationship, wherein each of the hollow spaces is formed with a cutting portion along one edge of the receiving bag so as to allow the hollow space to be opened by tearing the cutting portion from a main part of the receiving bag and wherein the tab terminals are received in the hollow space with an attitude at a substantially right angle relative to the direction of extension of the receiving bag.
Further, the present invention provides an apparatus for conveying a plurality of tab terminals for small sized aluminum electrolyte capacitors to a next step with their predetermined attitude maintained during a conveying operation, wherein the apparatus comprises a receiving back of the foregoing type composed of a main part and a cutting portion to be torn from the main part to open each hollow space, first winding means for winding the cutting portion torn from the main part of the receiving bag, second winding means for winding the main part of the receiving bag, conveying means arranged below the receiving bag, at least one sensor disposed on the conveying means to detect presence or absence of the tab terminals at predetermined positions on the conveying means and a controller for controlling the first winding means and the second winding means in response to a signal transmitted from the sensor and wherein the controller performs a controlling operation such that when a single hollow space on the receiving bag is displaced to the region above the conveying means by driving the second winding means, the first winding means is activated to tear the cutting portion from the main body of the receiving bag by a length corresponding to a width of each hollow space so as to open the hollow space and then allow a plurality of tab terminals in the hollow space to fall down on the conveying means which in turn conveys the tab terminals to a next step.
The receiving bag is constituted by a single bandshaped sheet material which is folded in the U-shaped configuration in the longitudinal direction while opposites ends of the sheet material are thermally fused together at an elevated temperature to form one edge of the receiving bag.
The cutting portion may include a perforated line which extends along the one edge of the receiving bag so as to allow a tearing operation to be performed along the perforated line to open each hollow space.
Alternatively, the cutting portion may comprise a bandshaped piece which is torn from the main body of the receiving bag thereby to open each hollow space.
To assure that a plurality of tab terminals in each hollow space are smoothly displaced to the conveying means, it is recommendable that an inclined plate having a certain inclination angle is arranged below the receiving bag on the upstream side of the conveying means.
It is preferable that the sensor is attached to a guide plate on one side or opposite sides of the inclined plate.
When the apparatus is practically used, the receiving bag is arranged above the conveying means such that the cutting portion of each hollow space on the receiving bag is located on the lower side of the receiving bag. Since a plurality of tab terminals are received in each hollow space with a predetermined attitude at a substantially right angle relative to the direction of extension of the receiving bag, the tab terminals fall down on the conveying means via the inclined plate with the cutting portion torn from the main body of the receiving bag while maintaining the predetermined attitude. After the tab terminals are correctly placed on the conveying means, they are conveyed to a next step by driving the conveying means while the predetermined attitude is maintained substantially unchangeably during a conveying operation.
Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from reading of the following description which has been made with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present invention is illustrated in the following drawings in which: Fig. 1 is a partially exploded front view which illustrates the structure of a receiving bag for receiving a number of tab terminals for small-sized aluminum electrolyte capacitors in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view of the receiving bag in Fig. 1, particularly illustrating an essential part of the receiving bag; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a receiving bag in accordance with other embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of an apparatus for conveying a plurality of tab terminals for small-sized aluminum electrolyte capacitors in each hollow space on a receiving bag to a next step in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention; and Fig. 5 is a perspective view which schematically illustrates a conventional method of conveying a plurality of tab terminals for small-sized aluminum electrolyte capacitors to a next step.
Now, the present invention will be described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a partially exploded front view which shows a receiving bag for receiving a number of tab terminals for small-sized aluminum electrolyte capacitors in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention and Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view which shows an essential part of the receiving bag in Fig. 1 on an enlarged scale. The receiving bag designated by reference numeral 10 is molded of a sheet material of polyvinyl chloride or the like material in the band-shaped configuration and includes a number of hollow spaces 12 which are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the sheet material in the equally spaced relationship. Each hollow space 12 is usually formed by thermally fusing two sheets material together at an elevated temperature. The hollow space 12 is sealed along an adhering portion 14.
As represented by a dotted line in Fig. 1, a cutting line 16, e.g., in the form of a perforated line is formed in the longitudinal direction of the receiving bag 10 to extend across each hollow space 12. Formation of the cutting line 16 makes it possible to open the hollow space 12 by performing a tearing operation along the cutting line 16.
According to the embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 1, the cutting line 16 is formed by a perforated line. Alternatively, a cutting band as often seen in the case of a transparent package bag for a cigarette box may be substituted for the cutting line 16.
The case where the cutting band is used in place of the cutting line 16 will be described with reference to Fig. 3.
As shown in Fig. 3, the cutting band is designated by reference numeral 20. In this case, the cutting band 20 is interposed between a pair of foremost ends of an inverted U-shaped sheet material 18 for the receiving bag 10 in the clamped state and the foremost ends of the sheet material 18 are then thermally fused together at an elevated temperature by heating means (not shown). To assure that each hollow space 12 is opened without fail in the same manner as the preceding case where the cutting line 16 is formed, the cutting band 20 is properly dimensioned in respect to a width and a thickness.
As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, a plurality of tab terminals 22 are received in each hollow space 12. It is preferable that aluminum portions 26 each having a weight heavier than a lead wire 24 are located on the lower side of the receiving bag 10 where the cutting line 16 or the cutting band 20 is formed, as shown in Fig. 2. Alternatively, the lead wires 24 may be located on the lower side of the receiving bag 10 in the opposite manner to the shown case, if necessary. It should be noted that all the tab terminals 22 are arranged to extend in the direction at a substantially right angle relative to the longitudinal direction of the receiving bag 10.
Next, an apparatus for automatically conveying a number of tab terminals for small-sized aluminum electrolyte capacitors to a part feeder at a next step will be described below with reference to Fig. 4.
The apparatus includes conveying means 28 such as a belt conveyor or the like means so as to convey the tab terminals 22 to a next step. An inclined plate 30 having a certain inclination angle is disposed on the upstream side of the conveying means 28, and the receiving bag 10 is arranged slightly above the upper end of the inclined plate 30. In addition, the apparatus includes first winding means 34 at the position above the receiving bag 10 for winding a band-shaped piece 32 derived from a tearing operation for the receiving bag 10 and second winding means 38 for winding the main part 36 of the receiving bag 10 with the bandshaped piece 32 torn therefrom.
A pair of guide plates 40 are arranged on the opposite sides of the conveying means 28, and sensors 42 are mounted on the guide plates 40 so as to determine whether or not the tab terminals 22 are existent at predetermined positions on the conveying means 28. The result derived from the determination made by the sensors 42 is transmitted to a controller 44 as a signal. If the result is NO, i.e., the result reveals that no tab terminal is existent on the conveying means 28 at the predetermined positions, the controller 44 activates the first winding means 34 and the second winding means 38 so as to supplement the conveying means 28 with another tab terminals 22.
Next, a method of automatically conveying tab terminals 22 onto the conveying means 28 by using the receiving bag 10 in which a number of tab terminals 28 are received will be described below.
In a case where no tab terminal is existent on the conveying means 28 at the predetermined position, the controller 44 is informed about this fact by receiving a signal from the sensors 42. In response to the signal, the first winding means 34 is rotated for a predetermined period of time. As the first winding means 34 is rotated in this way, the band-shaped piece 32 having a length corresponding to a single of hollow space 12 above the inclined plate 30 is torn from the receiving bag 10. In other words, a quantity of winding of the band-shaped piece 32 is set to a pitch of the hollow space 12 which has been brought in the region above the inclined plate 30. At this time, the second winding means 38 is not activated so that the main part 36 of the receiving bag 10 with the band-shaped piece 32 torn therefrom is held in the immovable state.In this manner, the hollow space 10 is opened by winding the bandshaped piece 32 with the aid of the first winding means 34, whereby a plurality of tab terminals 22 received in the hollow space 12 fall down on the inclined plate 30 by their own dead weight and they are then placed on the conveying means 28 from the inclined plate 30.
When it is confirmed that all the tab terminals 22 received in the hollow space 10 above the inclined plate 30 fall down on the inclined plate 30, the second winding means 38 is activated by the controller 44 such that the main part 36 of the receiving bag 10 is wound by a length corresponding to a single pitch of the hollow spaces 12.
After the tab terminals 22 are placed on the conveying means 28, they are conveyed toward a straight feeder or the like means (not shown) at the next step by driving the conveying means 28. When the sensors 42 detect that the tab terminals 22 have been displaced away from the predetermined positions on the conveying means 28 toward the next step, the controller 44 activates the first winding means 34 and the second winding means 38 again so that the conveying means 28 is supplemented with another tab terminals 22.
According to the shown embodiment of the present invention, a belt conveyor is employed for the conveying means 28 to receive and convey the tab terminals 22 in the receiving bag 10. Alternatively, a part bowl which has been heretofore used as conveying means may be employed for the conveying means 28 so that tab terminals are conveyed to the position in the vicinity of an outlet port of the part bowl.
In this case, vibrations induced by the part bowl are transmitted to the tab terminals to some extent. However, since the tab terminals are conveyed immediately from the part bowl to the straight feeder (not shown) at the next step, there is no possibility that a chemically deposited film on each of the tab terminals is damaged or injured by the undesirable influence of vibrations. In this case, it is preferable that the sensors are arranged at suitable positions in the vicinity of the outlet of the part bowl.
According to the shown embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus is provided with the inclined plate 30. Alternatively, the tab terminals 22 may fall down on the conveying means 28 directly from the receiving bag 10 with the inclined plate 30 removed from the apparatus.
As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the receiving bag for receiving a number of tab terminals for small-sized aluminum electrolyte capacitors is constructed such that a plurality of tab terminals are received in each hollow space on a band-shaped sheet material while assuming a predetermined attitude and a cutting portion in the form of a cutting line or a bandshaped piece is formed along one edge of the band-shaped sheet material so as to allow it to be torn from the bandshaped sheet material. With this construction, while the tab terminals are arranged in each hollow space with the predetermined attitude maintained relative to the direction of extension of the band-shaped sheet material, they can be conveyed to the next step with the predetermined attitude maintained unchangeably.
In addition, since the apparatus is provided with the sensors for detecting presence or absence of the tab terminals on the conveying means as well as means for successively opening each hollow space on the receiving bag one by one, the apparatus assures that a predetermined number of tab terminals can automatically be supplied to the conveying means without fail. Consequently, the apparatus can eliminate a necessity for an operator who has ~been hitherto required for placing tab terminals in a container on a part bowl or the like means, resulting in improvement of productivity and reduction of a production cost being accomplished reliably.
