[0045] The electronic cigarette rod assembly device provided in this embodiment is applied to the PCB assembly scenario of the electronic cigarette rod, and can automatically bond the PCB to the electronic cigarette rod. By improving the structure of the device, its efficiency is improved.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the electronic cigarette rod assembly equipment of this embodiment includes a rod loading device 10 , an assembly device 20 for mounting a PCB on the electronic cigarette rod, a unloading device 30 and a plurality of rod carrier units 60 .

[0047] A first loading conveyor 41 is provided on one side of the cigarette rod loading device 10, a second loading conveyor 42 is provided on one side of the assembly device 20 and the unloading device 30, a plurality of third loading conveyors 43 are provided between the first loading conveyor 41 and the second loading conveyor 42, a movable first docking device 44 is provided between the third loading conveyor 43 and the first loading conveyor 41, and a movable second docking device 45 is provided between the third loading conveyor 43 and the second loading conveyor 42. The above-mentioned loading conveyor device includes a motor and a conveyor belt assembly. The loading conveyor device can drive the conveyor belt assembly to move by the motor, thereby realizing the movement of the cigarette rod carrier unit 60.

[0048] A return conveyor 50 is provided on one side of the first loading conveyor 41 and the second loading conveyor 42; the cigarette rod carrier unit 60 can circulate sequentially among the first loading conveyor 41, the third loading conveyor 43, the second loading conveyor 42, and the return conveyor 50. The return conveyor 50 includes a motor and a conveyor belt assembly. The return conveyor 50 can drive the conveyor belt assembly through the motor, thereby realizing the movement of the cigarette rod carrier unit 60 from the second loading conveyor 42 to the first loading conveyor 41.

[0049] Specifically, when the electronic cigarette rod assembly equipment is performing the assembly process, the electronic cigarette rod is placed on the rod carrier unit 60 of the first loading and conveying device 41 through the rod loading device 10; then, the first loading and conveying device 41 transfers the rod carrier unit 60 to one of the third loading and conveying devices 43 through the first docking device 44, and the third loading and conveying device 43 then transfers the rod carrier unit 60 to the second loading and conveying device 42 through the second docking device 45. At this time, the assembly device 20 can assemble the PCB on the electronic cigarette rod on the rod carrier unit 60, and then the unloading device 30 unloads the assembled electronic cigarette rod; then, the reflux conveying device 50 transfers the empty rod carrier unit 60 back to the first loading and conveying device 41.

[0050] In the above process, when the assembly device 20 is performing PCB assembly, the cigarette rod loading device 10 continues to place the electronic cigarette rods on other cigarette rod carrier units 60, and places them on the third loading conveyor device 43 through the first loading conveyor device 41 and the first docking device 44 (when the first third loading conveyor device 43 is fully loaded, other third loading conveyor devices 43 can be used to expand the overall capacity of the equipment); after the assembly device 20 assembles all the electronic cigarette rods on the first third loading conveyor device 43, the second docking device 45 connects the other third loading conveyor devices 43 with the second loading conveyor device 42, allowing the assembly device 20 to complete the assembly of the electronic cigarette rods on the subsequent third loading conveyor device 43, and the return conveyor device 50 can promptly transfer the empty cigarette rod carrier unit 60 back to the first loading conveyor device 41, so that the ratio of the operating time of the first loading conveyor device 41 to the total production time is improved, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the electronic cigarette rods.

[0051] For example, for a cigarette rod carrier unit 60, it stays in the cigarette rod loading device 10 for T1 to complete loading, and takes T2 to move to the third loading conveyor device 43 for caching, and then stays in the assembly device 20 for T3 to complete assembly, and then takes T4 to complete unloading in the unloading device 30, and finally, takes T5 to return to the cigarette rod loading device 10 through the reflux conveyor device 50; in the above process, T3 is the longest time. When the second cigarette rod carrier unit 60 is assembled, the first cigarette rod carrier unit 60 can perform unloading, reflux, reassembly, buffering and other actions in sequence, thereby increasing the working time of the first loading conveyor device 41, thereby reducing the waiting time of other components caused by assembly, and greatly improving the overall working efficiency of the equipment.

[0052] Further, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the cigarette holder unit 60 includes a holder body 601, which is provided with a cigarette holder slot 6011 and a pressing block slot 6012. The cigarette holder slot 6011 is used to accommodate the electronic cigarette holder. The cigarette holder slot 6011 is vertically oriented, facilitating the vertical insertion of the electronic cigarette holder into the holder body 601, thus improving stability during subsequent assembly.

[0053] A slidably connected to the carrier body 601 is a pick-up push plate 603 on the side of the briquetting groove 6012 near the cigarette rod groove 6011. This push plate 603 is connected to a pick-up push rod 604. This push rod 604 is movable within the briquetting groove 6012 and fixedly connected to a positioning block 602 that protrudes from the briquetting groove 6012 and partially covers the cigarette rod groove 6011. A guide shaft 605 is connected to the pick-up push rod 604 on the side away from the cigarette rod groove 6011. A carrier spring 606 is sleeved on the guide shaft 605, which abuts against the wall of the briquetting groove 6012 and the pick-up push rod 604, respectively.

[0054] For example, when an electronic cigarette rod needs to be placed, the material extraction push plate 603 is pressed by an external force. The action of the material extraction push rod 604 causes the carrier spring 606 to be compressed and deformed, so that the positioning block 602 no longer covers the rod groove 6011, facilitating the insertion of the electronic cigarette rod into the rod groove 6011. Then, the external force is removed, and the positioning block 602 is reset under the action of the carrier spring 606, applying a fixing force to the electronic cigarette rod, thereby improving the stability of the electronic cigarette rod in the carrier body 601. The material extraction push plate 603 and the rod groove 6011 are staggered. For example, the material extraction push plate 603 is provided with three protrusions for connecting with the material extraction push rod 604, and the rod groove 6011 is provided with four protrusions. A protrusion passes between two rod grooves 6011, thereby improving the stability and compactness of the overall structure.

[0055] It should also be added that the bottom of the carrier body 601 is connected to a carrier base plate 607, and a buffer pad 608 is installed on the carrier base plate 607. The above arrangement improves the stability of the cigarette rod carrier unit 60 when it moves, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the electronic cigarette cigarette rod, improving the stability of the assembly, and thus improving the yield of the product. The top of the carrier body 601 is connected to a carrier cover 609, and the carrier cover 609 is provided with a limiting groove corresponding to the position of the positioning block 602, which plays a role in limiting the movement of the positioning block 602, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the cigarette rod carrier unit 60 when clamping the electronic cigarette cigarette rod; the side wall of the carrier body 601 is also installed with a barcode carrier plate 610, and the barcode carrier plate 610 is provided with a barcode to facilitate the equipment to identify the cigarette rod carrier unit 60.

[0056] Further, if Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cigarette rod loading device 10 includes a tray storage assembly 11, a cigarette rod loading assembly 12, an auxiliary loading assembly 13, and a carrier unlocking assembly 14. The tray storage assembly 11 includes an initial tray bin, a downstream tray bin, and a tray moving module. For example, the tray moving module moves the trays in the initial tray bin to a position where the cigarette rod loading assembly 12 can clamp them. After the electronic cigarette rods on the tray are clamped, the tray moving module moves them to the downstream tray bin.

[0057] The rod loading assembly 12 is used to move the electronic cigarette rods on the tray in the tray storage assembly 11 to the auxiliary loading assembly 13. The auxiliary loading assembly 13 is used to vertically insert the electronic cigarette rods into the rod slot 6011. The carrier unlocking assembly 14 is used to press the material removal push plate 603 so that the positioning block 602 no longer covers the rod slot 6011. The horizontal placement of the electronic cigarette rods on the tray helps reduce the thickness of the tray and facilitates transportation. The vertical placement of the electronic cigarette rods in the rod slot 6011 facilitates PCB installation and can reduce the footprint of the rod carrier unit 60, improving its compactness.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, the cigarette rod loading assembly 12 includes a cigarette rod loading moving module 121, the mobile end of which is equipped with a rotating motor 122 and a suction cup unit 123, a first synchronous belt assembly 124 is installed between the rotating motor 122 and the suction cup unit 123, and the rotating motor 122 drives the suction cup unit 123 to rotate through the first synchronous belt assembly 124. Optionally, the cigarette rod loading moving module 121 includes a first linear motor module, the mobile end of the first linear motor module is equipped with a second linear motor module, the mobile end of the second linear motor module is equipped with a ball screw module driven by a motor, the slider of the ball screw module is the mobile end of the cigarette rod loading moving module 121, and can drive the rotating motor 122 and the suction cup unit 123 to rise and fall, thereby realizing the transfer of the electronic cigarette rod, wherein, through the setting of the first synchronous belt assembly 124, the suction cup unit 123 can drive the electronic cigarette rod to rotate 90 degrees.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the auxiliary loading assembly 13 includes an auxiliary loading cylinder 131, and an auxiliary cigarette rod clamp unit 132 is installed at the telescopic end of the auxiliary loading cylinder 131; wherein, the telescopic direction of the auxiliary loading cylinder 131 is perpendicular to the notch direction of the cigarette rod slot 6011.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the carrier unlocking assembly 14 includes an unlocking cylinder 141 , and an unlocking block 142 is installed at the telescopic end of the unlocking cylinder 141 , and the unlocking block 142 is used to abut against the material taking push plate 603 .

[0061] Furthermore, the assembly device 20 includes a dispensing module 21, a discharge module 22, and a pressure-maintaining module 23, which are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the second loading and conveying device 42. The dispensing module 21 is used to dispense glue on the electronic cigarette rod, the discharge module 22 is used to place the PCB on the dispensing area of ​​the electronic cigarette rod, and the pressure-maintaining module 23 is used to strengthen the connection between the PCB and the electronic cigarette rod.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, Figure 9 As shown, the discharge module 22 includes a discharge base 221 , on which a discharge motor 222 , a second synchronous belt assembly 223 and a synchronous shaft 224 are mounted. The discharge motor 222 is connected to the synchronous shaft 224 via the second synchronous belt assembly 223 .

[0063] A plurality of cams 225 are mounted on the synchronous shaft 224, each cam 225 being staggered. A jaw moving unit 226 is provided at the bottom of the cam 225, on which a jaw assembly is mounted. An abutment block is provided on the side of the jaw moving unit 226 near the cam 225, which abuts the cam 225. An elastic unit is provided on the discharge base 221 for pressing the abutment block against the cam 225. The jaw assembly comprises a jaw motor, a synchronous belt assembly, and a pneumatic jaw unit. The jaw motor drives the pneumatic jaw unit to rotate via the synchronous belt assembly, and the pneumatic jaw unit is used to clamp the PCB. This arrangement enables the jaw assemblies to move in an interlaced manner, preventing two adjacent jaw assemblies from simultaneously assembling PCBs on two e-cigarette rods. This avoids the risk of interference caused by close spacing, reducing the overall size of the discharge module 22 and improving its safety.

[0064] Further, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a third docking device 46 is provided between the second loading conveyor device 42 and the return conveyor device 50 , and a fourth docking device 47 is provided between the return conveyor device 50 and the first loading conveyor device 41 .

[0065] Based on the above embodiment, the first docking device 44, the second docking device 45, the third docking device 46 and the fourth docking device 47 all include a docking mobile module. The mobile end of the docking mobile module is equipped with a docking base. The docking base is equipped with a docking motor, a docking transmission assembly and a synchronous belt. The docking motor drives the synchronous belt to move via the docking transmission assembly. When the cigarette rod carrier unit 60 needs to be transferred, the previous conveyor moves the cigarette rod carrier unit 60 to the synchronous belt on the docking device via the conveyor belt. After that, the docking mobile module drives the docking base to the next position. The docking motor drives the synchronous belt to move via the docking transmission assembly, allowing the cigarette rod carrier unit 60 to enter the next conveyor.

[0066] In summary, the electronic cigarette rod assembly equipment provided in this embodiment improves the ratio of the operating time of the first loading and conveying device 41 to the total production time, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the electronic cigarette rods, and also has the advantages of compact structure, high precision, and high stability.
