[0065] Reference to "embodiment" or "embodiment manner" in this context means that a specific feature, structure or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment or embodiment manner may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase at various positions in the description does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0066] An embodiment of this application provides a pressing assembly 100. Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of the pressing assembly provided by an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 is Figure 1 a three-dimensional exploded schematic diagram of the pressing assembly provided by the embodiment manner; Figure 3 is Figure 1 a schematic cross-sectional view of the pressing assembly provided by the embodiment manner along line A-A. In this embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 includes a carrier 110, an elastic member 120, and a pressing member 130. The carrier 110 has a receiving space 111. The elastic member 120 is received in the receiving space 111. The pressing member 130 can move relative to the carrier 110 in a direction away from the carrier 110 under the drive of the compressed elastic member 120.

[0067] In this embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 is applied to the gluing of the tube body in a heat-not-burn cigarette cartridge. In one embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 is applied to the gluing of the cooling tube in a heat-not-burn cigarette cartridge. The pressing assembly 100 is used to press the cooling tube into the binder so that the end of the cooling tube is coated with the binder. In another embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 is applied to the gluing of the outer tube body in a heat-not-burn cigarette cartridge. The pressing assembly 100 is used to press the outer tube body into the binder so that the end of the outer tube body is coated with the binder.

[0068] In this embodiment, the elastic member 120 has elasticity. In one embodiment, the elastic member 120 is made of an elastic material, which may be, but is not limited to, elastic materials such as silica gel or rubber. In another embodiment, the elastic member 120 has an elastic shape, which may be, but is not limited to, an elastic shape such as a "U" shape, an "X" shape, or a spiral shape.

[0069] In this embodiment, the pressing member 130 can move relative to the carrier member 110 in a direction away from the carrier member 110 under the drive of the compressed elastic member 120. When an external force in the direction of the pressing member 130 pointing to the elastic member 120 is applied to the pressing member 130, the pressing member 130 will retract relative to the carrier member 110 and abut against the elastic member 120. The pressing member 130 abuts against the elastic member 120 to cause the elastic member 120 to undergo elastic deformation, and the force generated by the elastic recovery of the elastic member 120 causes the pressing member 130 to move relative to the carrier member 110 in a direction away from the carrier member 110.

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 presses the tube body into the adhesive through the pressing member 130. During the process of pressing the tube body into the adhesive, due to the mutual force F1 between the pressing member 130 and the tube body, the pressing member 130 retracts relative to the carrier member 110 and abuts against the elastic member 120. The elastic member 120 deforms due to the abutment of the pressing member 130 against the elastic member 120, and a force F2 is generated due to the recovery of the elastic deformation and acts on the pressing member 130. When the force F2 generated by the recovery of the elastic deformation of the elastic member 120 is greater than the mutual force F1 between the pressing member 130 and the tube body, that is, when F2 > F1, the elastic member 120 causes the pressing member 130 to extend relative to the carrier member 110, and causes the pressing member 130 to further press the tube body into the adhesive until the end of the tube body abuts against the bottom wall of the glue storage member filled with the adhesive, so that the ends of each tube body are coated with the adhesive of the same height.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment, the force F2 generated by the elastic member 120 due to the recovery of elastic deformation is: 1N ≤ F2 ≤ 5N. If F2 is too small, when the pressing member 130 presses the pipe body into the adhesive, the elastic member 120 cannot push the pipe body further into the adhesive due to the force F2 generated by elastic recovery. If F2 is too large, the pressing member 130 may damage the pipe body when pushing the pipe body. Therefore, the force F2 generated by the elastic member 120 due to the recovery of elastic deformation is: 1N ≤ F2 ≤ 5N, which can ensure that the elastic member 120 can push the pipe body due to the force F2 generated by its own elastic deformation recovery without damaging the pipe body.

[0072] In this embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 includes one or more of the elastic members 120, and the pressing assembly 100 includes the same number of pressing members 130 as the elastic members 120. In one embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 includes one elastic member 120 and one pressing member 130. During the process of pressing one pipe body into the adhesive, after the pressing assembly 100 reaches the preset position, the elastic member 120 will generate a force F2 due to the recovery of elastic deformation, pushing the pressing member 130 to move in a direction away from the carrier 110 relative to the carrier 110, and causing the pressing member 130 to further press the pipe body into the adhesive until the end of the pipe body abuts against the bottom wall of the glue storage member filled with the adhesive, so that each pipe body is coated with adhesive of the same height under the condition of having a production length error, thereby ensuring the glue coating quality of the pipe body. In another embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 includes a plurality of elastic members 120 and a plurality of pressing members 130. During the process of pressing a plurality of pipe bodies into the adhesive simultaneously, after the pressing assembly 100 reaches the preset position, the plurality of elastic members 120 will generate a force F2 due to the recovery of elastic deformation, pushing the plurality of pressing members 130 to move in a direction away from the carrier 110 relative to the carrier 110, and causing the plurality of pressing members 130 to further press the plurality of pipe bodies into the adhesive until the ends of the plurality of pipe bodies abut against the bottom wall of the glue storage member filled with the adhesive, so as to simultaneously ensure that the ends of the plurality of pipe bodies are coated with adhesive of the same height under the condition of having a production length error, thereby ensuring the glue coating quality of the pipe body and improving the glue coating efficiency of the pipe body.

[0073] The present application provides a pressing assembly 100. The pressing assembly 100 includes a carrier 110, an elastic member 120, and a pressing member 130. The carrier 110 has a receiving space 111. The elastic member 120 is received in the receiving space 111. The pressing member 130 can move relative to the carrier 110 in a direction away from the carrier 110 driven by the compressed elastic member 120. During the process of the pressing assembly 100 pressing the tube body of the heat-not-burn cigarette cartridge into the adhesive, the elastic member 120 will undergo elastic deformation due to the pressing member 130 abutting against the elastic member 120. After the pressing assembly 100 reaches the preset station, the tube body will have different heights of adhesive coated on the end portion of the tube body due to the production length error. The elastic member 120 generates a force due to the recovery of the elastic deformation and pushes the pressing member 130 to move relative to the carrier 110 in a direction away from the carrier 110, so that the pressing member 130 further presses the tube body into the adhesive until the tube body abuts against the bottom wall of the glue storage member filled with the adhesive, so that each end portion of the tube body is coated with the adhesive of the same height. Therefore, the pressing assembly 100 provided by the present application can make the end portions of the tube bodies of the heat-not-burn cigarette cartridges be coated with the adhesive of the same height in the case of production length error, thereby improving the glue coating quality of the tube bodies.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 4 which is a schematic structural diagram of the pressing assembly provided by another embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 is Figure 4 a schematic cross-sectional view of the pressing assembly provided by the embodiment along the line B-B; Figure 6 is Figure 5 a partially enlarged schematic view of an embodiment at I in the pressing assembly provided by the embodiment. In this embodiment, the receiving space 111 includes a first sub-space 1111 and a second sub-space 1112. The second sub-space 1112 is communicated with the first sub-space 1111, and the aperture of the second sub-space 1112 is smaller than the aperture of the first sub-space 1111. The pressing member 130 includes a first pressing portion 131 and a second pressing portion 132. The first pressing portion 131 is received in the first sub-space 1111, and the first pressing portion 131 abuts against the elastic member 120. The rod diameter of the first pressing portion 131 is smaller than the aperture of the first sub-space 1111, and the rod diameter of the first pressing portion 131 is larger than the aperture of the second sub-space 1112. The second pressing portion 132 is connected to the first pressing portion 131, and the rod diameter of the second pressing portion 132 is smaller than the aperture of the second sub-space 1112.

[0075] In the present embodiment, the accommodation space 111 includes the first sub-space 1111 and the second sub-space 1112 that are in communication with each other. Among them, the first sub-space 1111 is closer to the elastic member 120 than the second sub-space 1112. The second sub-space 1112 penetrates through the surface of the carrier 110 on the side closer to the second sub-space 1112 relative to the first sub-space 1111, so that the pressing member 130 can protrude from the second sub-space 1112 relative to the carrier 110, or so that the tube body of the heat-not-burn cartridge can extend into the carrier 110 through the second sub-space 1112 to abut against the pressing member 130.

[0076] In the present embodiment, the aperture of the second sub-space 1112 is smaller than the aperture of the first sub-space 1111, so that the side wall at the intersection of the peripheral side wall of the carrier 110 forming the second sub-space 1112 and the peripheral side wall of the carrier 110 forming the first sub-space 1111 forms a limit on the pressing member 130, thereby preventing the pressing member 130 from falling off from the accommodation space 111.

[0077] In the present embodiment, the pressing member 130 includes the first pressing portion 131 and the second pressing portion 132 that are connected to each other. Among them, the first pressing portion 131 is accommodated in the first sub-space 1111. The rod diameter of the first pressing portion 131 is smaller than the aperture of the first sub-space 1111, and the rod diameter of the first pressing portion 131 is larger than the aperture of the second sub-space 1112, so that the first pressing portion 131 can only move within the first sub-space 1111. The rod diameter of the second pressing portion 132 is smaller than the aperture of the second sub-space 1112, so that the second pressing portion 132 can move within the second sub-space 1112 and the first sub-space 1111. In addition, the end face of the first pressing portion 131 at the connection between the first pressing portion 131 and the second pressing portion 132 cooperates with the side wall at the intersection of the peripheral side wall of the carrier 110 forming the second sub-space 1112 and the peripheral side wall of the carrier 110 forming the first sub-space 1111 to form a limit on the pressing member 130, thereby preventing the pressing member 130 from falling off from the accommodation space 111.

[0078] In this embodiment, the first pressing portion 131 abuts against the elastic member 120, so that the elastic member 120 is kept in a compressed state. Due to the force generated by the elastic recovery of the elastic member 120 acting on the first pressing portion 131, the end face at the connection between the first pressing portion 131 and the second pressing portion 132 abuts against the carrier 110 to form the side wall at the intersection of the peripheral side wall of the second sub-space 1112 and the peripheral side wall of the first sub-space 1111 formed by the carrier 110. Therefore, when no external force other than the elastic member 120 and the carrier 110 acts on the pressing member 130, the distance between the surface of the second pressing portion 132 facing away from the first pressing portion 131 and the surface of the carrier 110 close to the first pressing portion 131 relative to the second pressing portion 132 remains unchanged, making the cooperation between the pressing member 130, the carrier 110 and the elastic member 120 more stable. In one embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 includes one elastic member 120 and one pressing member 130. The first pressing portion 131 abuts against the elastic member 120, so that the position of the pressing member 130 relative to the carrier 110 remains unchanged each time before the pressing operation on the tube body, increasing the stability of each pressing operation on the tube body. In another embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 includes a plurality of elastic members 120 and a plurality of pressing members 130. The number of the pressing members 130 is the same as the number of the elastic members 120, and one pressing member 130 correspondingly abuts against one elastic member 120, so that the position of each pressing member 130 relative to the carrier 110 remains unchanged before the pressing assembly 100 performs a simultaneous pressing operation on a plurality of tube bodies, increasing the stability of the pressing operation of each pressing member 130 on the tube body when the pressing assembly 100 presses a plurality of tube bodies.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 7 which is a schematic structural diagram of a pressing assembly provided in another embodiment of the present application;

[0080] Figure 8 is Figure 7 a schematic cross-sectional view of the pressing assembly of the embodiment along line C-C; Figure 9 is Figure 8A partial enlarged schematic diagram of II in the pressing assembly provided in the embodiment. In the present embodiment, the receiving space 111 includes a first subspace 1111 and a second subspace 1112. The second subspace 1112 is connected to the first subspace 1111, and the aperture of the second subspace 1112 is smaller than the aperture of the first subspace 1111. The pressing member 130 includes a first pressing portion 131 and a second pressing portion 132. The first pressing portion 131 is accommodated in the first subspace 1111, and the first pressing portion 131 abuts against the elastic member 120. The rod diameter of the first pressing portion 131 is smaller than the aperture of the first subspace 1111, and the rod diameter of the first pressing portion 131 is larger than the aperture of the second subspace 1112. The second pressing portion 132 is connected to the first pressing portion 131, and the rod diameter of the second pressing portion 132 is smaller than the aperture of the second subspace 1112. In addition, in the present embodiment, the first pressing portion 131 has a receiving space 1311. The accommodating space 1311 is used to accommodate a portion of the elastic member 120 . The second pressing portion 132 protrudes from a surface of the carrier 110 that is opposite to the first pressing portion 131 and close to the second pressing portion 132 .

[0081] In this embodiment, the first pressing part 131 has an accommodating space 1311, specifically, the first pressing part 131 has an accommodating space 1311 at the end away from the second pressing part 132. The accommodating space 1311 is used to accommodate part of the elastic member 120, so that the peripheral side wall of the accommodating space 1311 formed by the first pressing part 131 forms a limit for the elastic member 120, thereby making the cooperation between the elastic member 120 and the first pressing part 131 more stable, and increasing the stability of the pressing member 130 during the pressing operation.

[0082] In this embodiment, the second pressing portion 132 protrudes from the surface of the carrier 110 close to the second pressing portion 132 relative to the first pressing portion 131, so that the pressing member 130 can extend into the hole or groove, thereby increasing the application range of the pressing assembly 100.

In this embodiment, the receiving space 111 includes a first sub-space 1111 and a second sub-space 1112. The second sub-space 1112 communicates with the first sub-space 1111, and the aperture of the second sub-space 1112 is smaller than the aperture of the first sub-space 1111. The pressing member 130 includes a first pressing portion 131 and a second pressing portion 132. The first pressing portion 131 is received in the first sub-space 1111, and the first pressing portion 131 abuts against the elastic member 120. The rod diameter of the first pressing portion 131 is smaller than the aperture of the first sub-space 1111, and the rod diameter of the first pressing portion 131 is larger than the aperture of the second sub-space 1112. The second pressing portion 132 is connected to the first pressing portion 131, and the rod diameter of the second pressing portion 132 is smaller than the aperture of the second sub-space 1112. In addition, in this embodiment, the carrier 110 further has a positioning portion 112 provided in the receiving space 111. One end of the elastic member 120 is cooperatively connected to the positioning portion 112 to elastically abut against the carrier 110, and the other end of the elastic member 120 elastically abuts against the first pressing portion 131.

[0084] In this embodiment, the carrier 110 further has a positioning portion 112 provided in the receiving space 111. Specifically, the positioning portion 112 is provided on the side wall of the carrier 110 forming the receiving space 111, which is closer to the elastic member 120 relative to the pressing member 130.

[0085] In this embodiment, one end of the elastic member 120 is cooperatively connected to the positioning portion 112 to elastically abut against the carrier 110, and the other end of the elastic member 120 elastically abuts against the first pressing portion 131. The positioning portion 112 and the first pressing portion 131 jointly abut against the elastic member 120 to improve the stability of the elastic member 120 during the pressing operation of the pressing component 100. In one embodiment (please refer to Figure 12 ), one end of the elastic member 120 close to the positioning portion 112 has a through hole 121. The positioning portion 112 protrudes from the side wall of the carrier 110 forming the receiving space 111, which is closer to the elastic member 120 relative to the pressing member 130, and the positioning portion 112 is received in the through hole 121 to limit the elastic member 120, thereby increasing the stability of the elastic member 120. In another embodiment (please refer to Figure 13), the positioning portion 112 is recessed in the peripheral side wall of the carrier 110 that forms the receiving space 111, on the side wall closer to the elastic member 120 relative to the pressing member 130, and one end of the elastic member 120 near the positioning portion 112 receives the engaging portion 122 to limit the elastic member 120, thereby increasing the stability of the elastic member 120.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 14 , Figure 14 For Figure 5 a partially enlarged schematic view of another embodiment at I in the pressing assembly provided by the embodiment. In this embodiment, the receiving space 111 includes a first sub-space 1111 and a second sub-space 1112. The second sub-space 1112 communicates with the first sub-space 1111, and the aperture of the second sub-space 1112 is smaller than the aperture of the first sub-space 1111. The pressing member 130 includes a first pressing portion 131 and a second pressing portion 132. The first pressing portion 131 is received in the first sub-space 1111, and the first pressing portion 131 abuts against the elastic member 120. The rod diameter of the first pressing portion 131 is smaller than the aperture of the first sub-space 1111, and the rod diameter of the first pressing portion 131 is larger than the aperture of the second sub-space 1112. The second pressing portion 132 is connected to the first pressing portion 131, and the rod diameter of the second pressing portion 132 is smaller than the aperture of the second sub-space 1112. In addition, in this embodiment, the rod diameter d of the second pressing portion 132 is: 6.2 mm ≤ d ≤ 7.3 mm.

[0087] In this embodiment, the second pressing portion 132 needs to abut against the tube body during the pressing operation of the pressing assembly 100 on the heat-not-burn tube body, and the rod diameter of the second pressing portion 132 needs to be larger than the outer diameter of the tube body to ensure that the second pressing portion 132 can push the tube body. In addition, the rod diameter of the second pressing portion 132 should not be too large. By controlling the smaller rod diameter size of the second pressing portion 132, more pressing members 130 can be provided on the pressing assembly 100 to improve the pressing efficiency of the pressing assembly 100. Therefore, the rod diameter d of the second pressing portion 132 is: 6.2 mm ≤ d ≤ 7.3 mm, which can ensure that the second pressing portion 132 can push the tube body and more pressing members 130 can be provided on the pressing assembly 100 to improve the pressing efficiency of the pressing assembly 100.

[0088] Specifically, in one embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 is used to press the cooling part of the heat-not-burn cigarette cartridge. The outer diameter d1 of the cooling part is: 6 mm ≤ d1 ≤ 6.6 mm. The rod diameter d of the second pressing part 132 is 0.2 mm larger than the outer diameter d1 of the cooling pipe, that is, the outer diameter d of the second pressing part 132 is: 6.2 mm ≤ d ≤ 6.8 mm. In another embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 is used to press the outer tube of the heat-not-burn cigarette cartridge. The outer diameter d2 of the outer tube is: 6.9 mm ≤ d2 ≤ 7.1 mm. The rod diameter d of the second pressing part 132 is 0.2 mm larger than the outer diameter of the outer tube, that is, the outer diameter d of the second pressing part 132 is: 7.1 mm ≤ d ≤ 7.3 mm. In other embodiments, the pressing assembly 100 is used to press other tubes of the heat-not-burn cigarette cartridge, and the rod diameter of the second pressing part 132 is 0.2 mm larger than the outer diameter of the other tube.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 3 and 15 , Figure 15 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of the pressing assembly provided in another embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 includes a carrier 110, an elastic member 120, and a pressing member 130. The carrier 110 has a receiving space 111. The elastic member 120 is received in the receiving space 111. The pressing member 130 can move relative to the carrier 110 in a direction away from the carrier 110 driven by the compressed elastic member 120. In addition, in this embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 further includes at least two guiding members 150. The at least two guiding members 150 are spaced apart and are disposed on the surface of the carrier 110 on the side closer to the pressing member 130 relative to the elastic member 120.

[0090] In this embodiment, the at least two guiding members 150 are used to align and cooperate the pressing member 130 with the center of the tube of the heat-not-burn cigarette cartridge so that the pressing member 130 can abut against and push the tube. The at least two guiding members 150 are spaced apart, which can prevent the pressing assembly 100 from displacing radially of the pressing member 130 or deflecting axially of the pressing member 130 after the pressing member 130 is aligned with the tube, resulting in the pressing member 130 deviating from the tube.

[0091] Specifically, the at least two guiding members 150 cooperate with at least two positioning members on the device that bears the tube body. In one embodiment, the guiding member 150 is a guide post, and the guiding member 150 protrudes from the surface of the bearing member 110 on the side closer to the pressing member 130 relative to the elastic member 120. The positioning member is a positioning hole, and the positioning member cooperates with the guiding member 150 to limit the pressing assembly 100, preventing the pressing assembly 100 from displacing radially with respect to the pressing member 130 or deflecting axially with respect to the pressing member 130, which may cause the pressing member 130 to deviate from the tube body. In another embodiment, the guiding member 150 is a guiding hole, and the positioning member is a positioning post. The positioning member cooperates with the guiding member 150 to limit the pressing assembly 100, preventing the pressing assembly 100 from displacing radially with respect to the pressing member 130 or deflecting axially with respect to the pressing member 130, which may cause the pressing member 130 to deviate from the tube body. In other embodiments, the guiding member 150 and the positioning member may be, but are not limited to, in guiding cooperation through clamping or bonding, etc., to prevent the pressing assembly 100 from displacing radially with respect to the pressing member 130 or deflecting axially with respect to the pressing member 130, which may cause the pressing member 130 to deviate from the tube body. It should be noted that in the figures of the present embodiment, the guiding member 150 is shown as a guide post for illustration purposes.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 16 , Figure 16 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of a pressing assembly provided by another embodiment of the present application. In the present embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 includes a bearing member 110, an elastic member 120, and a pressing member 130. The bearing member 110 has a receiving space 111. The elastic member 120 is received in the receiving space 111. The pressing member 130 can move relative to the bearing member 110 in a direction away from the bearing member 110 under the drive of the compressed elastic member 120. In addition, in the present embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 further includes a limiting member 140. The limiting member 140 protrudes from the surface of the bearing member 110 on the side where the pressing member 130 is exposed.

[0093] In the present embodiment, when the pressing assembly 100 presses the tube body of a heat-not-burn cigarette cartridge, the limiting member 140 is used to abut against the surface of the device that bears the tube body after the pressing assembly 100 reaches a preset position, so as to limit the pressing assembly 100 from further pressing the tube body and prevent the tube body from being damaged. In one embodiment, the number of the limiting members 140 is one. In another embodiment, the number of the limiting members 140 is multiple to increase the stability after the limiting members 140 abut against the surface of the device that bears the tube body.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 17 、 Figure 18 、 Figure 19 and Figure 20 , Figure 17 which is a schematic structural view of a pressing assembly provided for another embodiment of the present application; Figure 18 is Figure 17 a three-dimensional exploded view of the pressing assembly provided for the embodiment; Figure 19 is Figure 17 a schematic cross-sectional view of the pressing assembly provided for the embodiment along line E-E; Figure 20 is Figure 19 a partial enlarged view of the pressing assembly at IV provided for the embodiment. In this embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 includes a carrier 110, an elastic member 120, and a pressing member 130. The carrier 110 has a receiving space 111. The elastic member 120 is received in the receiving space 111. The pressing member 130 can move relative to the carrier 110 in a direction away from the carrier 110 driven by the compressed elastic member 120. In addition, in this embodiment, the carrier 110 further includes a first sub-carrier 113, a second sub-carrier 114, and a connecting member 115. The first sub-carrier 113 has a first receiving space 1131. The second sub-carrier 114 has a second receiving space 1141, and the second receiving space 1141 communicates with the first receiving space 1131. The receiving space 111 includes the first receiving space 1131 and the second receiving space 1141. The connecting member 115 is used to fixedly connect the first sub-carrier 113 and the second sub-carrier 114.

[0095] In this embodiment, the first sub-carrier 113 and the second sub-carrier 114 are connected by the connecting member 115 so that the carrier 110 is detachable, which is beneficial to the replacement of the elastic member 120 and the pressing member 130 received in the receiving space 111. For example, the connecting member 115 can be, but is not limited to, a detachable connecting component such as a bolt, a screw, or an adhesive, as long as it can facilitate the disassembly and installation of the carrier 110.

[0096] An embodiment of the present application provides an adhesive application assembly 10. Please refer to Figure 21 、 Figure 22 and Figure 23 , Figure 21 which is a schematic structural view of the adhesive application assembly provided for an embodiment of the present application; Figure 22 is Figure 21 a three-dimensional exploded view of the adhesive application assembly provided for the embodiment; Figure 23 is Figure 21Schematic diagram of the process of applying glue to the tube body by the glue application assembly provided in the embodiment. In this embodiment, the glue application assembly 10 includes a carrier assembly 200, a glue storage assembly 300, and a pressing assembly 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The carrier assembly 200 is used to carry the tube body, and the carrier assembly 200 is used to cooperate with the pressing assembly 100 so that the pressing assembly 100 abuts against the tube body. The glue storage assembly 300 is used to store and provide the adhesive for the tube body.

[0097] In this embodiment, the glue application assembly 10 is used to apply adhesive to one or both ends of the tube body of the heat-not-burn cartridge. The carrier assembly 200 is used to carry the tube body of the heat-not-burn cartridge. The glue storage assembly 300 is used to store the adhesive. The pressing assembly 100 is used to cooperate with the carrier assembly 200 so that the pressing member 130 abuts against the tube body, and the end of the tube body is pressed into the glue storage assembly 300 through the pressing member 130, so that the end of the tube body is coated with the adhesive.

[0098] Specifically, in one embodiment, the pressing assembly 100 includes a limiting member 140 and at least two guiding members 150. The carrier assembly 200 includes at least two positioning members 210, and the carrier assembly 200 is used to carry the tube body. In this embodiment, the steps of applying adhesive to the tube body include: S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, and S7. S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, and S7 will be described in detail below.

[0099] S1, Place the tube body in the carrier assembly 200.

[0100] S2, Cooperate the guiding member 150 with the positioning member 210 so that the center of the pressing member 130 is aligned with the tube body.

[0101] In this embodiment, the at least two guiding members 150 are used to align the center of the pressing member 130 with the tube body of the heat-not-burn cartridge so that the pressing member 130 can abut against and push the tube body. The at least two guiding members 150 are spaced apart, which can prevent the pressing assembly 100 from displacing radially of the pressing member 130 or deflecting axially of the pressing member 130 after the pressing member 130 is aligned with the tube body, resulting in the pressing member 130 deviating from the tube body.

[0102] S3, The pressing assembly 100 moves towards the tube body so that the pressing member 130 abuts against the tube body.

[0103] S4, the pressing assembly 100 continues to move towards the tube body, so that the pressing member 130 pushes the tube body until the limiting member 140 abuts against the surface of the bearing assembly 200 facing the pressing assembly 100.

[0104] In this embodiment, when the pressing member 130 pushes the tube body, the pressing member 130 will retract relative to the bearing member 110 due to the mutual force between the pressing member 130 and the tube body, and abut against and compress the elastic member 120. The elastic force generated by the elastic recovery of the elastic member 120 further pushes the tube body until the elastic member 120 returns to its initial state.

[0105] S5, the relative positions among the pressing assembly 100, the tube body and the bearing assembly 200 remain unchanged, and the pressing assembly 100, the tube body and the bearing assembly 200 are moved above the glue storage assembly 300.

[0106] S6, the relative positions among the pressing assembly 100, the tube body and the bearing assembly 200 remain unchanged, and the pressing assembly 100, the tube body and the bearing assembly 200 move towards the glue storage assembly 300 until the surface of the bearing assembly 200 facing away from the pressing assembly 100 abuts against the surface of the glue storage assembly 300 facing the bearing assembly 200, so that the end portion of the tube body pre-coated with the adhesive enters the glue storage assembly 300.

[0107] In this embodiment, the length of the tube body exposed on the surface of the bearing assembly 200 close to the glue storage assembly 300 is greater than the height from the surface where the glue storage assembly 300 abuts against the bearing assembly 200 to the bottom wall of the glue storage assembly 300. Therefore, after the surface of the bearing assembly 200 facing away from the pressing assembly 100 abuts against the surface of the glue storage assembly 300 facing the bearing assembly 200, the tube body will abut against the bottom wall of the glue storage assembly 300, and due to the mutual force between the tube body and the bottom wall of the glue storage assembly 300, it will move towards the pressing member 130 and push the pressing member 130 towards the elastic member 120. Since the pressing member 130 can move towards the elastic member 120 by abutting against the elastic member 120, when there is a production length error in the tube body, the tube body can also be coated with the adhesive of the same height at the end, ensuring the glue coating quality of the tube body.

[0108] S7, remove the pressing assembly 100, the tube body and the bearing assembly 200.

[0109] In this embodiment, after removing the pressing component 100, the tube body, and the carrying component 200, glue can be applied to the tube body of the next batch after discharging the tube body.

[0110] It should be noted that this embodiment only schematically illustrates the glue application process of the glue application component 10 provided in the present application to the heat-not-burn cigarette cartridge, and should not be construed as a limitation on the glue application process of the glue application component 10 provided in the present application to the heat-not-burn cigarette cartridge.

The feeding component 20 is used to place the tube body into the carrying component 200 in the glue application component 10. The glue application component 10 is used to apply an adhesive to one or both ends of the tube body. The sealing component 30 is used to attach the breathable sealing member to the end of the tube body coated with the adhesive. The heating and pressing component 40 is used to heat and press the area where the tube body is attached to the breathable sealing member. The cutting component 50 is used to cut the breathable sealing member attached to the end of the tube body coated with the adhesive to form a breathable sealing portion provided at the preset end of the tube body.

[0112] In this embodiment, the assembly device 1 is used to assemble the tube body of the heat-not-burn cigarette cartridge. The feeding component 20 is used to place the tube body into the carrying component 200 in the glue application component 10 so that the glue application component 10 applies an adhesive to the end of the tube body. The sealing component 30 is used to attach the breathable sealing member to the end of the tube body coated with the adhesive. The heating and pressing component 40 is used to heat and press the area where the tube body is attached to the breathable sealing member to make the attachment between the breathable sealing member and the end of the tube body coated with the adhesive more firm. The cutting component 50 is used to cut the breathable sealing member along the contour of the tube body to form a breathable sealing portion provided at the end of the tube body.
