[0050] The opening guide station 200 includes an opening guide support 201, a lifting block 203, and an opening guide probe 205 that cooperates with the opening of the guide column and the core tube. The lifting block 203 is arranged on the opening guide support 201. The opening guide support 201 is provided with a guide hole that cooperates with the guide column.

[0053] The open guiding support 201 is provided with a guide groove 207 for guiding the lifting and lowering of the lifting block 203.

[0054] The core tube fixture 800 includes a fixed portion fixed on the turntable 900 and a lifting portion movably matched with the fixed portion in the lifting direction.

[0060] The push rod 904 at the fifth station is connected to the rotating mechanism 501, and the push rod 904 at the fifth station 500 can be driven by the rotating mechanism 501, so as to realize the rotation reversal of the fifth station 500, and the rotation reversal can be performed after lifting.

[0061] The rotating mechanism 501 is preferably a rotating cylinder.

[0062] A method for selecting a compatible direction of an atomizer core tube is provided, and the following process is performed based on the compatible direction selection device for an atomizer core tube as described above:

[0063] S1, the lifting mechanism lifts the core tube fixture 800 on the turntable 900, so as to load the core tube 1 to the core tube fixture of the core tube loading station, and the lifting mechanism drives the core tube fixture to reset;

[0064] S2, the turntable 900 rotates to transport the core tube 1 to the opening correction station, and the lifting mechanism lifts the core tube fixture on the turntable to correct the opening of the high and low grooves of the core tube, and the lifting mechanism drives the core tube fixture to reset;

[0065] S3, the turntable 900 rotates to transport the core tube 1 to the material detection station, and the lifting mechanism lifts the core tube fixture on the turntable to detect whether there is a core tube, and the lifting mechanism drives the core tube fixture to reset;

[0066] S4, the turntable 900 rotates to transport the core tube 1 to the forward and reverse detection station, and the lifting mechanism lifts the core tube fixture on the turntable to identify the high and low grooves of the core tube, and the lifting mechanism drives the core tube fixture to reset;

[0067] S5, the turntable 900 rotates to transport the core tube 1 to the forward and reverse rotation station, the lifting mechanism lifts the core tube fixture on the turntable, and determines whether rotation reversal is required according to the detection structure of the forward and reverse detection station. If reversal is required, the core tube fixture is driven to rotate 180 degrees. If reversal is not required, it does not rotate, and the lifting mechanism drives the core tube fixture to reset;

[0068] S6, the turntable 900 rotates to transport the core tube 1 to the material taking station, the lifting mechanism lifts the core tube fixture on the turntable to take the core tube, and the lifting mechanism drives the core tube fixture to reset.

[0069] The present invention provides an atomizer core tube compatible direction selection device, and its specific working process is as follows:

[0070] 1: The front station loads a core tube onto the core tube fixture 800 on the first station 100.

[0071] 2: The turntable 900 rotates 45 degrees for the first time, and the core tube fixture 1 moves to the second station 200. The second station is for opening correction. The correction probe 205 is inserted into the opening of the high and low grooves 11 of the core tube 1, thereby correcting the grooving angle of the core tube to a uniform direction, providing a basis for the subsequent high and low groove detection.

[0072] 3: The turntable 900 rotates 45 degrees for the second time, and the core tube fixture 800 turns to the third station 300. The third station 300 is for material detection. When there is material, it continues to rotate, and records data when there is no material.

[0073] 4: Turntable 900 rotates 45 degrees for the third time, and the core tube fixture 800 turns to the fourth station 400. The fourth station 400 is a forward and reverse detection mechanism. The left and right groove depths of the core tube 1 are different, thus forming a high and low groove 11. The detection probe 401 touches the bottom of the groove. Because of the height difference, when the detection probe 401 touches the bottom of the groove (high groove), the detection probe 401 is lifted up, driving the other end of the detection photoelectric baffle 403 to lift up, so that the detection photoelectric 402 can detect the height of the groove bottom of the core tube 1, thereby identifying that it is a high groove, and recording the data to the next rotation station, and reversing is achieved by rotation. When the detection probe 401 touches the bottom of the groove (low groove), it is not lifted up, and the detection photoelectric 402 does not sense the signal, and records the data to the next rotation station. No rotation is required at this time.

[0074] 5: The turntable 900 rotates 45 degrees for the fourth time, and the core tube fixture 800 turns to the fifth station 500. The fifth station 500 is a rotation reversing station. After receiving the feedback signal from the detection photoelectric 402, it controls whether the core tube needs to be rotated this time, so as to ensure the consistency of the left and right directions of the core tube. The reversing judgment principle is that if it is in the same direction as the setting, it will not rotate. If it is in the opposite direction to the setting, it will rotate 180 degrees. For example, if the low groove is set on the inside, if the fourth station 400 detects that the high groove is on the inside, it is in the opposite direction and needs to be rotated 180 degrees. If the fourth station 400 detects that the low groove is on the inside, it is in the same direction and does not need to be rotated. Similarly, the high groove can also be set on the inside.

[0075] 6: The turntable 900 rotates 45 degrees for the fifth time, and the core tube fixture 800 turns to the sixth station 600. The sixth station 600 is a material taking station. At the material taking station, the core tube is taken away by the next material taking mechanism. The core tubes at this station have a unified orientation after being selected by the high and low grooves.

[0076] 7: The turntable 900 rotates 45 degrees for the sixth time, and the core tube fixture 800 moves to the seventh station 700. To prevent the core tube from being missed when the sixth station 600 takes the material, if the detection optical fiber detects that there is material, the machine will be stopped immediately to avoid accidents and improve safety.

[0077] 8: The turntable 900 rotates 45 degrees for the 7th time, and the core tube fixture 800 moves to the eighth station, which is a spare station. This process is repeated, and the turntable 900 rotates 45 degrees again and returns to the first station 100. Each time the disk rotates 45 degrees, it stops. The turntable 900 is driven by the intermittent divider 901 of the 8th station.

[0078] 9: There is a lifting mechanism under the turntable 900. The turntable 900 stops after each rotation of 45 degrees. Under the thrust of the cam connecting rod, the lifting plate 902 drives the seven push rods 903 to rise to a certain height. The push rods 903 lift the position of the rotating shaft core 805. At the same time, the rotating cylinder can rotate 180 degrees and drive the rotating shaft core 805 to rotate 180 degrees. After the lifting is completed, the lifting plate 902 and the push rods 903 descend to their original positions.

[0079] 10: There are 8 groups of core tube clamps 800 on the turntable 900. As the turntable rotates intermittently, the rotating shaft core 806 in the core tube clamp 800 rises under the lifting push of the push rod 903. When the push rod 903 drops back to its original position, the rotating shaft core 806 drops back to its original position under the pressure of the reset spring 805. The rotating shaft core 806 slides up and down in the rotating seat 804. The hollow part of the core tube 1 is sleeved on the core tube center pin 801, and the two clamp arms 803 are surrounded by the tension spring 802. Under the tension of the tension spring, the clamp arms 803 slightly press the core tube 1.

[0080] The present invention provides an atomizer core tube compatible direction selection device and method, wherein the front section has a core tube feeding mechanism for feeding one core tube evenly each time, and the rear section has a core tube taking mechanism for taking away the core tube. The device is responsible for identifying the subtle differences between the high and low grooves of the core tube, and rotating the core tube in the opposite direction through a rotating mechanism (if in the same direction, it will not rotate), thereby ensuring the uniformity of the core tubes assembled by the next mechanism.

[0081] The above contents are further detailed descriptions of the present invention in combination with specific preferred embodiments, and it cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which should be regarded as falling within the scope of protection of the present invention.
