[0021] Referring to the attached drawings, a specific structure of the present invention is shown. The printing fixture of the atomizer core of the electronic cigarette comprises three parts: an atomizer core particle fixing mold frame 2 assembled on a reference frame 1, a spring support seat 3 and a clamping and fixing mechanism 4:

Two clamping grooves 211 are respectively provided on both sides of the atomizing core particle fixed mold frame 2.

[0024] The spring support seat 3 is located below the atomizer core particle fixed mold frame 2. The spring support seat 3 includes a compression spring 301 and a compression spring support plate 302, a top column 303 and a top column positioning seat 304. The compression spring support plate 302 is embedded in the bottom cavity of the top column positioning seat 304. The top column positioning seat 304 is provided with 4×10 top column positioning holes 305 corresponding to the transmission through hole 208. The compression spring support plate 302 is provided with 4×10 compression spring positioning blind holes 306 corresponding to the top column positioning holes 305. The top end of the compression spring 301 in the compression spring positioning blind hole 306 supports the bottom end of the top column 303. The top end of the top column 303 passes through the transmission through hole 305 to support the bottom end of the atomizer core particle 5.

[0025] The clamping and fixing mechanism 4 includes two clamping members 401 respectively located on both sides of the atomizing core particle fixing mold frame 2, and a clamping claw 402 is provided on the inner side of the clamping member 401, and the clamping claw 402 is arranged corresponding to the clamping groove 211. The central rotating shaft 403 of the clamping member 401 is installed on the lifting seat 404, and the lifting seat 404 is an L-shaped body composed of a vertical plate 4041 and a flat plate 4042. A through hole 406 of a cylinder gas joint 405 is provided in the middle of the vertical plate 4041. The central rotating shaft 403 of the clamping member 401 is installed at the upper center position of the vertical plate 4041, and the cylinder body of the vertical lifting drive cylinder 407 is fixed on the sliding seat 408, and the piston rod of the vertical lifting drive cylinder 407 acts on the flat plate 4042 of the lifting seat 404.

[0027] Balance pin holes 409 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central rotating shaft 403 of the clamping member 401 , and balance pins (not shown in the figure) are arranged at the top of the vertical plate 4041 corresponding to the two balance pin holes 409 .

[0028] The atomizer core particle fixed mold frame 2 is an independent component, and there are mold frames of various specifications corresponding to the atomizer core particles 5 of different specifications. The atomizer core particles 5 that need to be printed circuit are loaded into the fixed mold frame one by one, and the bottom plate 201 and the cover plate 202 are correspondingly buckled and assembled into a whole through the buckle 210, and then placed on the spring support seat 3, and the positioning pin hole 206 is inserted into the positioning pin column 101.

[0029] Then, under the action of the horizontal sliding drive cylinder 412, the clamping pieces 401 on both sides of the mold frame move inward with the sliding seat 408, and the clamping claws 402 are correspondingly embedded in the clamping groove 211; under the action of the vertical lifting drive cylinder 407, the clamping piece 401 descends with the lifting seat 404, and the atomization core particle fixed mold frame 2 is pulled down through the clamping claws 402. The elastic top column 303 supports the atomization core particles 5, so that it is in an independent floating state; at the same time, during the pull-down process, the two ends of the mold frame 2 can be automatically leveled along the central shaft 403 to ensure the level of the fixed mold frame and its atomization core particles 5, and to ensure the printing quality. The clamping and fixing mechanism 4 accurately and reliably clamps, positions, and lifts the atomization core particle fixed mold frame 2, so that each atomization core particle 5 is pressed on the corresponding top column 303; the cooperation prevents the atomization core particles 5 from shaking, and the particles will not affect each other. After printing is completed, the vertical lifting drive cylinder 407 rises and resets.

[0030] Then, the printing fixture of the atomizer core of the electronic cigarette enters the printing station of the printing equipment (not shown in the figure) as a whole, and the printing screen (not shown in the figure) is aligned with the printing surface of the atomizer core particles 5 in the atomizer core particle fixing mold frame 2, and printing can be carried out.

[0031] In order to ensure the precise matching between the printing screen of the thick film printer and the atomizing core particle fixed mold frame, in this example, the printing fixture also includes a special alignment plate 6, which is consistent in shape and size with the atomizing core particle fixed mold frame 2, and has 4×10 alignment through holes 601 corresponding to the top column 303 on the special alignment plate 6, and alignment pin holes 602 are provided at the front and rear ends of the special alignment plate 6 corresponding to the positioning pin 101, and a cross light-transmitting slit 604 is provided next to the alignment pin hole; LED lamp beads 102 are provided next to the positioning pin 101 of the reference frame 1; and a mark (not shown in the figure) is provided on the printing screen, and the mark and the LED lamp beads 102 are both provided corresponding to the cross light-transmitting slit 604. Two alignment clamping grooves 603 are provided on both sides of the special alignment plate 6.

[0032] During alignment, the printing fixture is not equipped with the atomizing core particle fixing mold frame 2, but with the dedicated alignment plate 6, and the alignment pin hole 602 is inserted into the positioning pin 101. The clamping member 401 moves inward with the sliding seat 408, and the clamping claw 402 is correspondingly embedded in the alignment clamping groove 603; the clamping member 401 descends with the lifting seat 404, and the dedicated alignment plate 6 is pulled down by the clamping claw 402. The printing fixture as a whole enters the printing station of the printing equipment.

[0033] The two cross-shaped light-transmitting gaps 604 on the special alignment plate 6 are used for light leakage from the LED lamp beads 102, so that the light leakage from the LED lamp beads 102 is irradiated onto the printing screen to form a cross cursor. The operator looks at the marking point of the printing screen and the cross cursor, and adjusts the position of the printing screen so that the two coincide. The alignment and debugging of the equipment is completed. The atomization core particle fixing mold frame 2 can be replaced, and printing can be performed according to the above steps, which effectively solves the printing problem caused by the height inconsistency of the atomization core particles and improves the three-dimensional accuracy of the printed circuit on the printing surface of the particles.

[0034] The above implementation is only for the purpose of clearly illustrating the technical solution of the present invention and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention in any way. The present invention has various known substitutions or modifications in the technical field, which fall within the protection scope of the present invention without departing from the essential meaning of the present invention.
