DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0027] Embodiments of a capacitor detection system and a passive-type pin-diverging module thereof according to the instant disclosure are described herein. Other advantages and objectives of the instant disclosure can be easily understood by one skilled in the art from the disclosure. The instant disclosure can be applied in different embodiments. Various modifications and variations can be made to various details in the description for different applications without departing from the scope of the instant disclosure. The drawings of the instant disclosure are provided only for simple illustrations, but are not drawn to scale and do not reflect the actual relative dimensions. The following embodiments are provided to describe in detail the concept of the instant disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope thereof in any way.

First Embodiment

[0028] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 8, the first embodiment of the instant disclosure provides a capacitor detection system S, comprising: a pin-flattening module 1, a passive-type pin-diverging module 2, a pin-positioning module 3, and an electrical performance testing module 5. The term passive-type means that the passive-type pin-diverging module 2 can passively contact two conductive pins P of a capacitor C so as to diverge, separate, or split the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C as shown in FIG. 7.

[0029] First, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, two cylindrical conductive pins P′ of the capacitor C can be flattened by the pin-flattening module 1 to form two flat-shaped conductive pins P. For example, the capacitor C may be a winding solid electrolytic capacitor, FIG. 2 shows a lateral, schematic view before flattening of the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C according to the instant disclosure, and FIG. 3 shows a lateral, schematic view after flattening of the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C according to the instant disclosure. In other words, the two cylindrical conductive pins P′ of the capacitor C can be flattened by the pin-flattening module 1, so that the shape of the conductive pin can be changed from cylindrical to flat. As shown in FIG. 3, after the cylindrical conductive pin P′ of the capacitor C is flattened by the pin-flattening module 1 to form the flat-shaped conductive pin P, a flattened lateral contact surface P10 is formed on an inner side of the flat-shaped conductive pin P.

[0030] Moreover, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the passive-type pin-diverging module 2 is adjacent to the pin-flattening module 1 for diverging the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C, and the passive-type pin-diverging module 2 includes a base structure 20 and a rotatable structure 21. In addition, the rotatable structure 21 is rotatably disposed on the base structure 20, and the rotatable structure 21 has a curved surface 2100. For example, the curved surface 2100 may be a regular curved surface or an irregular curved surface.

[0031] Therefore, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C can respectively pass through two through holes B10 of a seat board B, and each conductive pin P has a lateral contact surface P10. The two lateral contact surfaces P10 of the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C can concurrently slidably contact the curved surface 2100 of the rotatable structure 21 so as to diverge the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C, so that the seat board B can be held by the two diverged conductive pins P so as to prevent the seat board B from being separated from the capacitor C. Please note, the friction resistance between the conductive pin P and the rotatable structure 21 can be decreased due to the sliding contact between the lateral contact surface P10 of the conductive pin P and the curved surface 2100 of the rotatable structure 21. More precisely, the friction resistance between the conductive pin P and the rotatable structure 21 is decreased, so that the reaction force applied to the two conductive pins P and the capacitor C due to the sliding contact between the lateral contact surface P10 and the curved surface 2100 can be decreased (or the structural variation of a junction between the conductive pin P and the capacitor C can be decreased, and an outer force applied to an inner structure of the capacitor C can be decreased). Therefore, the capacitor C provided by the instant disclosure can avoid increasing leakage current (LC) and causing a short circuit.

[0032] For example, referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the base structure 20 includes a first base body 201 and a second base body 202 detachably connected to the first base body 201. In addition, the first base body 201 has a first base seat 2011 and a first pivot seat 2012 vertically disposed on the first base seat 2011, the second base body 202 has a second base seat 2021 detachably connected to the first base seat 2011 and a second pivot seat 2022 vertically disposed on the second base seat 2021, and the rotatable structure 21 is pivotably disposed between the first pivot seat 2012 and the second pivot seat 2022.

[0033] Following the above description, the rotatable structure 21 includes a pivot axle 211 (such as a fixed axle or a ball-bearing axle) detachably connected between the first pivot seat 2012 and the second pivot seat 2022 and a pivot roller 212 (such as a general roller or a ball bearing) disposed between the first pivot seat 2012 and the second pivot seat 2022 and pivotably disposed around the pivot axle 211. In addition, the curved surface 2100 may be a circular surface 2120 of the pivot roller 212, and the two lateral contact surfaces P10 of the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C can concurrently slidably contact the circular surface 2120 of the pivot roller 212 for diverging the two conductive pins P so as to make the two conductive pins P incline toward a bottom side of the seat board B by a predetermined angle θ, so that the seat board B can be held by the two diverged conductive pins P so as to prevent the seat board B from being separated from the capacitor C. Please note, the friction resistance between the conductive pin P and the pivot roller 212 can be decreased due to the sliding contact between the lateral contact surface P10 of the conductive pin P and the circular surface 2120 of the pivot roller 212. More precisely, the friction resistance between the conductive pin P and the pivot roller 212 is decreased, so that the reaction force applied to the two conductive pins P and the capacitor C due to the sliding contact between the lateral contact surface P10 and the circular surface 2120 can be decreased (or the structural variation of a junction between the conductive pin P and the capacitor C can be decreased, and an outer force applied to an inner structure of the capacitor C can be decreased). Therefore, the capacitor C provided by the instant disclosure can avoid increasing leakage current (LC) and causing a short circuit.

[0034] Furthermore, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 7, and FIG. 8, the pin-positioning module 3 is adjacent to the passive-type pin-diverging module 2 for bending the two conductive pins P and positioning the two conductive pins P on the seat board B. For example, the two conductive pins P can be positioned on two positioning grooves B11 of the seat board B. In addition, the electrical performance testing module 5 is adjacent to the pin-positioning module 3 for testing the electrical performance of the capacitor C. For example, the electrical performance testing module 5 can provide two testing pins (not shown) to electrically contact the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C so as to test the electrical performance of the capacitor C.

Second Embodiment

[0035] Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the second embodiment of the instant disclosure provides a passive-type pin-diverging module 2 for diverging the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C, and the passive-type pin-diverging module 2 includes a base structure 20 and a rotatable structure 21. In addition, the rotatable structure 21 is rotatably disposed on the base structure 20, and the rotatable structure 21 has a curved surface 2100.

[0036] More particularly, the rotatable structure 21 includes a pivot axle 211 detachably connected between the first pivot seat 2012 and the second pivot seat 2022 and a pivot ball 213 disposed between the first pivot seat 2012 and the second pivot seat 2022 and pivotably disposed around the pivot axle 211. In addition, the curved surface 2100 may be a spherical surface 2130 of the pivot ball 213, and the two lateral contact surfaces P10 of the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C can concurrently slidably contact the spherical surface 2130 of the pivot ball 213 for diverging the two conductive pins P so as to make the two conductive pins P incline toward a bottom side of the seat board B by a predetermined angle θ, so that the seat board B can be held by the two diverged conductive pins P so as to prevent the seat board B from being separated from the capacitor C. Please note, the friction resistance between the conductive pin P and the pivot ball 213 can be decreased due to the sliding contact between the lateral contact surface P10 of the conductive pin P and the spherical surface 2130 of the pivot ball 213. More precisely, the friction resistance between the conductive pin P and the pivot ball 213 is decreased, so that the reaction force applied to the two conductive pins P and the capacitor C due to the sliding contact between the lateral contact surface P10 and the spherical surface 2130 can be decreased (or the structural variation of a junction between the conductive pin P and the capacitor C can be decreased, and an outer force applied to an inner structure of the capacitor C can be decreased). Therefore, the capacitor C provided by the instant disclosure can avoid increasing leakage current (LC) and causing a short circuit.

Third Embodiment

[0037] Referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the third embodiment of the instant disclosure provides a passive-type pin-diverging module 2 for diverging the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C, and the passive-type pin-diverging module 2 includes a base structure 20 and a rotatable structure 21. In addition, the rotatable structure 21 is rotatably disposed on the base structure 20, and the rotatable structure 21 has a curved surface 2100.

[0038] More particularly, the rotatable structure 21 includes a rotatable ball 214. In addition, the curved surface 2100 may be a spherical surface 2140 of the rotatable ball 214, and the two lateral contact surfaces P10 of the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C can concurrently slidably contact the spherical surface 2140 of the rotatable ball 214 for diverging the two conductive pins P so as to make the two conductive pins P incline toward a bottom side of the seat board B by a predetermined angle θ, so that the seat board B can be held by the two diverged conductive pins P so as to prevent the seat board B from being separated from the capacitor C. Please note, the friction resistance between the conductive pin P and the rotatable ball 214 can be decreased due to the sliding contact between the lateral contact surface P10 of the conductive pin P and the spherical surface 2140 of the rotatable ball 214. More precisely, the friction resistance between the conductive pin P and the rotatable ball 214 is decreased, so that the reaction force applied to the two conductive pins P and the capacitor C due to the sliding contact between the lateral contact surface P10 and the spherical surface 2140 can be decreased (or the structural variation of a junction between the conductive pin P and the capacitor C can be decreased, and an outer force applied to an inner structure of the capacitor C can be decreased). Therefore, the capacitor C provided by the instant disclosure can avoid increasing leakage current (LC) and causing a short circuit.

Fourth Embodiment

[0039] Referring to FIG. 13, the fourth embodiment of the instant disclosure provides a capacitor detection system S, comprising: a pin-flattening module 1, a passive-type pin-diverging module 2, a pin-positioning module 3, and an electrical performance testing module 5. Comparing FIG. 13 and FIG. 1, the difference between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment is as follows: the fourth embodiment of the capacitor detection system S further comprises a heat-generating module 4 disposed between the pin-positioning module 3 and the electrical performance testing module 5, and the heat-generating module 4 can provide a predetermined heat source to the capacitor C so as to release stresses in the capacitor C. The stresses in the capacitor C are generated by the reaction force that is applied to the two conductive pins P and the capacitor C due to the sliding contact between the lateral contact surface P10 and the curved surface 2100. For example, the heat-generating module 4 may be a hot air generator, an infrared generator, or an ultraviolet generator for generating the predetermined heat source.

[0040] In conclusion, the two lateral contact surfaces P10 of the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C can concurrently slidably contact the curved surface 2100 of the rotatable structure 21 so as to diverge the two conductive pins P of the capacitor C, so that the seat board B can be held by the two diverged conductive pins P so as to prevent the seat board B from being separated from the capacitor C. Please note, the friction resistance between the conductive pin P and the rotatable structure 21 can be decreased due to the sliding contact between the lateral contact surface P10 of the conductive pin P and the curved surface 2100 of the rotatable structure 21. More precisely, the friction resistance between the conductive pin P and the rotatable structure 21 is decreased, so that the reaction force applied to the two conductive pins P and the capacitor C due to the sliding contact between the lateral contact surface P10 and the curved surface 2100 can be decreased (or the structural variation of a junction between the conductive pin P and the capacitor C can be decreased, and an outer force applied to an inner structure of the capacitor C can be decreased). Therefore, the capacitor C provided by the instant disclosure can avoid increasing leakage current (LC) and causing a short circuit.
