Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic product assembly technology, and more specifically to an automated heating wire assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, electronic cigarettes consist of three main parts: an e-liquid reservoir, an atomizing assembly, and a battery module. The atomizing assembly, also known as the heating wire assembly, is composed of three parts: the heating wire, the wicking cotton, and the heating wire support. The heating wire is an important component of electronic cigarettes for heating e-liquid.

[0003] Currently, heating wire assemblies on the market are usually assembled manually. First, the oil-guiding cotton and the mesh heating wire are wrapped around the outer surface of the auxiliary rod. The auxiliary rod helps to assemble and shape the oil-guiding cotton and the mesh heating wire. After the assembly is completed, the auxiliary rod is removed, and then the open end of the oil-guiding cotton wrapped around the auxiliary rod is clamped with a clamp to fix the auxiliary rod and the mesh heating wire relatively in the oil-guiding cotton, completing the semi-finished product of the heating wire assembly. Then, the heating wire bracket is picked up with one hand, and the semi-finished product is put into the heating wire bracket with both hands to complete the assembly of the heating wire assembly. The manual assembly method makes it difficult to control whether the installation is qualified and the installation standard. When there are many products to be assembled, it requires a lot of manpower, and the efficiency of manual assembly is low, which cannot meet the market demand. Summary of the Invention

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the present invention discloses an automated heating wire assembly machine, including a workbench 1 and a controller 2. The workbench 1 is provided with an auxiliary rod feeding structure, an auxiliary rod assembly structure, a semi-finished product assembly seat 6, a semi-finished product displacement structure, a support feeding structure, and a support assembly structure.

[0032] The automated heating wire assembly machine also includes a mounting support frame 3, which comprises a mounting support plate and four sets of mounting support columns fixedly mounted on the lower end face of the mounting support plate. An auxiliary rod feeding structure is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting support plate. The auxiliary rod feeding structure includes a storage hopper 41 and a pushing assembly. The storage hopper 41 has multiple sets of material troughs 42, and the side wall of the storage hopper 41 has discharge holes and pushing holes that respectively cooperate with the two ends of the material troughs 42. The material troughs 42 are matched with the dimensions of the auxiliary rod. The pushing assembly includes a pushing drive device 43 and a pushing plate assembly. The pushing plate assembly is fixedly connected to the moving end of the pushing drive device 43. A push rod 44 matching the pushing hole is fixedly mounted on the pushing plate assembly, and the direction of the push rod 44 is consistent with the direction of movement of the pushing plate assembly.

[0033] The pusher drive device 43 pushes the pusher plate assembly, and the pusher rod 44 is linked with the pusher assembly. The pusher rod 44 can pass through the pusher hole and push the auxiliary rod that falls into the material trough 42 out of the discharge hole, so that the auxiliary rod assembly structure can cooperate to discharge the material.

[0034] There are five sets of material troughs 42. Each set of material troughs 42 is equipped with a triangular protrusion 45, and the inner walls of the storage hopper 41 are provided with inclined surfaces 46 that slope towards the material trough 42. The combination of the triangular protrusion 45 and the inclined surfaces 46 makes it easier for the auxiliary rod placed in the storage hopper 41 to fall into the material trough 42.

[0035] There are also five sets of push rods 44, and five sets of discharge holes and push holes. The push plate assembly drives the five sets of push rods 44 to push the auxiliary rods in the five sets of material troughs 42 out of the corresponding five sets of discharge holes at the same time, thereby improving the discharge efficiency of the auxiliary rods.

[0037] The pusher drive device 43 is a cylinder. Obviously, it can also be driven by a lead screw motor to drive the sliding block to drive the pusher assembly to make linear motion, or by the cooperation between a servo motor, a transmission pulley assembly and a belt linkage block. The servo motor drives the transmission pulley assembly, and the belt linkage block is engaged on the transmission belt and moves linearly with the belt. The belt linkage block drives the pusher assembly to make linear motion.

[0038] The auxiliary rod assembly structure includes an auxiliary rod assembly support frame 5, which includes an assembly support plate and four sets of assembly support columns fixedly installed on the lower end face of the assembly support plate. The auxiliary rod assembly support frame 5 is located on the side of the mounting support frame 3.

[0039] The auxiliary rod assembly support frame 5 is equipped with a lifting drive device 51 and an auxiliary rod feeding assembly. The auxiliary rod feeding assembly includes a feeding support frame, which includes an upper feeding support plate 52, a lower feeding support plate 53, a left feeding support plate 54, and a right feeding support plate 55. The upper feeding support plate 52 and the lower feeding support plate 53 are fixedly connected through the left feeding support plate 54 and the right feeding support plate 55. The upper feeding support plate 52 is fixedly connected to the moving end of the lifting drive device 51. The lower feeding support plate 53 is equipped with a first rotary drive device 56 and a front and rear drive device 57. The moving end of the front and rear drive device 57 is fixedly connected to the first rotary drive device 56. The moving end of the first rotary drive device 56 is fixedly equipped with an auxiliary rod clamping module. The lower feeding support plate 53 is U-shaped. The recessed part of the lower feeding support plate 53 is used to cooperate with the first rotary drive device 56 to drive the auxiliary rod clamping module to flip downward.

[0040] The lifting drive device 51 is a cylinder. Obviously, it can also be driven by a lead screw motor to drive the sliding block to drive the auxiliary rod feeding component to make linear motion, or by the cooperation between a servo motor, a transmission pulley assembly and a belt linkage block. The servo motor drives the transmission pulley assembly, and the belt linkage block is engaged on the transmission belt and moves linearly with the belt. The belt linkage block drives the auxiliary rod feeding component to make linear motion.

[0041] There are two sets of lifting drive devices 51, which are symmetrically arranged. The moving ends of the two sets of lifting drive devices 51 are fixedly connected to the upper connecting plate 52 of the feeding support. The arrangement of the two sets of lifting drive devices 51 makes the lifting of the auxiliary rod feeding assembly more stable and less prone to shaking, which could lead to damage to the components.

[0042] The auxiliary rod clamping module includes an auxiliary rod clamping support frame 58 and five sets of auxiliary rod clamping claws 59 disposed on the auxiliary rod clamping support frame 58. The auxiliary rod clamping claws 59 are pneumatic claws.

[0043] Both the upper connecting plate 52 and the lower connecting plate 53 of the feeding support are provided with guide holes that cooperate with the four sets of assembly support columns. One end of the four sets of assembly support columns is fixedly connected to the assembly support plate, and the other end of the four sets of assembly support columns passes through the guide holes on the upper connecting plate 52 and the lower connecting plate 53 of the feeding support and is fixedly mounted on the workbench 1.

[0044] The guide hole design makes the lifting drive device 51 more stable when driving the auxiliary rod to load the component, preventing shaking and damage to the parts.

[0045] There are two sets of front and rear drive devices 57 and two sets of first rotary drive devices 56. The two sets of front and rear drive devices 57 and the two sets of first rotary drive devices 56 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower connecting plate 53 of the feeding support, and the moving ends of the two sets of first rotary drive devices 56 are respectively connected to the two ends of the auxiliary rod clamping module.

[0046] By setting two sets of first rotary drive devices 56, which are respectively connected to both ends of the auxiliary rod clamping module, the two sets of first rotary drive devices 56 simultaneously drive the auxiliary rod clamping module to flip downward more stably, making it less likely to shake and cause damage to the components.

[0047] The front and rear drive devices 57 are cylinders. Obviously, the first rotary drive device 56 can also be driven by a lead screw motor to drive a sliding block to make linear motion, or by the cooperation between a servo motor, a transmission pulley assembly and a belt linkage block. The servo motor drives the transmission pulley assembly, and the belt linkage block is engaged on the transmission belt and moves linearly with the belt. The belt linkage block drives the first rotary drive device 56 to make linear motion.

[0048] The first rotary drive device 56 is a rotary cylinder. Obviously, a belt drive method consisting of a servo motor, a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a transmission belt can also be used to drive the auxiliary rod clamping module to flip.

[0049] The semi-finished product assembly base 6 is located below the auxiliary rod clamping module. The semi-finished product assembly base 6 is provided with an auxiliary rod assembly channel 61, a heating wire placement groove 62, and an oil-guiding cotton placement groove 63. The auxiliary rod assembly channel 61 passes vertically through the center of the heating wire placement groove 62 and the oil-guiding cotton placement groove 63.

[0050] A mesh heating wire is placed in the heating wire placement groove 62, and a long strip of oil-guiding cotton is placed in the oil-guiding cotton placement groove 63.

[0051] The auxiliary rod assembly channel 61 has an auxiliary rod inlet 64 at one end near the heating wire placement slot 62, and a semi-finished product outlet 65 at the other end.

[0052] There are five sets of semi-finished product assembly bases 6. The five sets of semi-finished product assembly bases 6 cooperate with the five sets of auxiliary rod clamping claws 59 to complete the assembly of the semi-finished products.

[0053] During the process of the auxiliary rod clamping module clamping the auxiliary rod from the auxiliary rod inlet 64 to the semi-finished product outlet 65, the mesh heating wire in the heating wire placement groove 62 and the long strip of oil-guiding cotton in the oil-guiding cotton placement groove 63 can be folded and placed on the outer surface of the auxiliary rod to complete the discharge of the semi-finished product.

[0054] The semi-finished product displacement structure is set between the semi-finished product assembly base 6 and the support feeding structure. The semi-finished product displacement structure includes a semi-finished product clamping module and a second rotary drive device 71. The moving end of the second rotary drive device 71 is fixedly connected to the semi-finished product clamping module.

[0055] The semi-finished product clamping module includes a semi-finished product clamping support frame 72 and five sets of semi-finished product clamping claws 73 disposed on the semi-finished product clamping support frame 72. The semi-finished product clamping claws 73 are pneumatic claws, and the semi-finished product clamping claws 73 are provided with hook claws 74. The ends of the hook claws 74 are provided with anti-slip teeth 75. The hook claws 74 provide assembly space for the next process of assembling the bracket onto the semi-finished product. The anti-slip teeth 75 at the ends of the hook claws 74 make the long strip of oil-guiding cotton on the semi-finished product more secure, so that the semi-finished product is not easy to fall off the semi-finished product clamping claws 73 during movement.

[0056] The second rotary drive device 71 can drive the semi-finished product clamping module to rotate upwards, cooperating with the semi-finished product assembly base 6 and the support feeding structure.

[0057] The second rotary drive device 71 is a rotary cylinder. Obviously, a belt drive method consisting of a servo motor, a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a transmission belt can also be used to drive the semi-finished product clamping module to flip.

[0058] The support feeding structure includes a support vibratory plate 81 device, a support placement seat assembly, and a support feeding assembly. The support vibratory plate 81 device includes a vibratory plate 81 and a guide rail assembly 82. The vibratory plate 81 is provided with a support discharge port. One end of the guide rail assembly 82 cooperates with the support discharge port to transport the support. The other end of the guide rail assembly 82 is fixedly provided with a support sensor 83, which is used to sense whether there is a support at the end of the guide rail assembly 82.

[0059] If the bracket sensor 83 detects a bracket, the bracket feeding assembly will operate, and the bracket feeding assembly will move the bracket at the end of the guide rail assembly 82 onto the bracket placement seat assembly.

[0060] The bracket placement assembly includes a bracket placement plate 84, a bracket placement guide rail 85, a bracket placement drive device 86, and five sets of bracket placement seats 87. The five sets of bracket placement seats 87 are fixedly arranged at equal intervals on the bracket placement plate 84. The lower surface of the bracket placement plate 84 is provided with a bracket placement slider that cooperates with the bracket placement guide rail 85. The bracket placement plate 84 and the bracket placement guide rail 85 are slidably connected. The bracket placement drive device 86 and the bracket placement guide rail 85 are fixedly arranged on the worktable 1. The moving end of the bracket placement drive device 86 is fixedly connected to the bracket placement plate 84.

[0061] The bracket placement drive device 86 can push the bracket placement plate 84 under the bracket assembly structure, so that the bracket assembly structure can clamp the bracket and assemble the bracket with the semi-finished product on the semi-finished product clamping jaw 73.

[0062] The bracket placement drive device 86 is a cylinder. Obviously, it can also be driven by a lead screw motor to drive the sliding block to drive the bracket placement plate 84 to make linear motion, or by the cooperation between a servo motor, a transmission pulley assembly and a belt linkage block. The servo motor drives the transmission pulley assembly, and the belt linkage block is engaged on the transmission belt and moves linearly with the belt. The belt linkage block drives the bracket placement plate 84 to make linear motion.

[0063] The support feeding assembly includes a left and right drive device 88, a support feeding lifting device 89, and a support feeding clamping device 90. The moving end of the left and right drive device 88 is fixedly connected to the support feeding lifting device 89, and the moving end of the support feeding lifting device 89 is fixedly connected to the support feeding clamping device 90. The left and right drive device 88 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the mounting support frame 3.

[0064] The left and right drive device 88 includes a lead screw motor and a moving block. By rotating the lead screw motor in both directions, the moving block is driven to move left and right. Obviously, a linear motor can also be used to drive the support feeding and lifting device 89.

[0065] The support feeding and lifting device 89 is a cylinder. Obviously, it can also be driven by a lead screw motor to drive the sliding block to drive the support feeding clamping device 90 to make linear motion, or by the cooperation between a servo motor, a transmission pulley assembly and a belt linkage block. The servo motor drives the transmission pulley assembly, and the belt linkage block is engaged with the transmission belt and moves linearly with the belt. The belt linkage block drives the support feeding clamping device 90 to make linear motion.

[0066] The support feeding and clamping device 90 is a pneumatic gripper.

[0067] The bracket assembly structure includes a bracket assembly lifting device 91 and a bracket assembly clamping module. The bracket assembly lifting device 91 is fixedly mounted on the mounting support frame 3, and the moving end of the bracket assembly lifting device 91 is fixedly connected to the bracket assembly clamping module.

[0068] The bracket assembly lifting device 91 is a cylinder. Obviously, it can also be driven by a lead screw motor to drive the sliding block to drive the bracket assembly clamping module to make linear motion, or by the cooperation between a servo motor, a transmission pulley assembly and a belt linkage block. The servo motor drives the transmission pulley assembly, and the belt linkage block is engaged with the transmission belt and moves linearly with the belt. The belt linkage block drives the bracket assembly clamping module to make linear motion.

[0069] There are two sets of bracket assembly lifting devices 91, which are symmetrically arranged. The moving ends of the two sets of bracket assembly lifting devices 91 are fixedly connected to the bracket assembly clamping module. The arrangement of the two sets of bracket assembly lifting devices 91 makes the bracket assembly clamping module more stable in lifting and lowering, and less prone to shaking, which could lead to damage to the components.

[0070] The bracket assembly clamping module includes a bracket assembly clamping support frame 92 and five sets of bracket clamping jaws 93 disposed on the bracket assembly clamping support frame 92. The bracket clamping jaws 93 are pneumatic jaws.

[0071] The bracket assembly clamping support frame 92 has mounting guide through holes at both ends that cooperate with two mounting support columns. The mounting guide through holes make the bracket assembly lifting device 91 more stable when driving the bracket assembly clamping module, and it is less likely to shake and cause damage to the components.

[0072] The workflow of the automated heating wire assembly machine provided in this embodiment is as follows: This embodiment of the invention provides the advantages of efficient assembly and standardized assembly compared to the existing manual assembly of heating wire components.

[0073] First, an auxiliary rod is placed in the storage hopper 41, and the auxiliary rod falls into the material trough 42 along the triangular protrusion 45 or the inclined plane 46.

[0074] When the pusher drive device 43 is working, it drives the pusher plate assembly to move. The push rods 44 on the pusher assembly are linked together. The five sets of push rods 44 pass through the corresponding pusher holes at the same time, push the auxiliary rods out of the material groove 42 and protrude out of the material discharge hole, and complete the discharge of the five sets of auxiliary rods at the same time.

[0075] The auxiliary rod clamping module of the auxiliary rod feeding assembly is initially positioned near the discharge hole to cooperate with the pusher drive device 43 to clamp the auxiliary rod pushed out from the discharge hole.

[0076] After the auxiliary rod clamping module clamps the auxiliary rod, the first rotary drive device 56 is driven to retract a certain distance by the front and rear drive device 57, thereby causing the auxiliary rod clamping module to also retract a certain distance.

[0077] After the retraction is completed, the lifting drive device 51 drives the auxiliary rod feeding assembly to move downward a certain distance.

[0078] When the descent is complete, the first rotary drive device 56 drives the auxiliary rod to flip the clamping module downward by 90 degrees.

[0079] After the auxiliary rod clamping module is flipped, the auxiliary rod is located at the auxiliary rod inlet 64 of the semi-finished product assembly seat 6. The heating wire placement groove 62 and the oil-guiding cotton placement groove 63 on the semi-finished product assembly seat 6 are respectively filled with mesh heating wire and long strip oil-guiding cotton.

[0080] The front and rear drive device 57 drives the first rotary start device to move forward, thereby driving the auxiliary rod clamping module to move forward as well. The auxiliary rod on the auxiliary rod clamping claw 59 also moves forward. The auxiliary rod moves in the auxiliary rod assembly channel 61. During the process of moving from the auxiliary rod inlet to the semi-finished product outlet 65, the mesh heating wire in the heating wire placement groove 62 and the long strip of oil-guiding cotton in the oil-guiding cotton placement groove 63 can be folded and set on the outer surface of the auxiliary rod.

[0081] The initial position of the semi-finished product clamping module of the semi-finished product displacement structure is set at the semi-finished product outlet 65 of the semi-finished product assembly base 6. When the auxiliary rod clamping claw 59 moves the semi-finished product from the semi-finished product outlet 65 a set distance, the semi-finished product clamping claw 73 works to clamp the open end of the long strip of oil-guiding cotton surrounding the auxiliary rod, completes the assembly of the heating wire, and obtains the semi-finished product of the heating wire assembly.

[0082] After the semi-finished product gripper 73 has finished gripping, the auxiliary rod assembly structure returns to its initial position. At the same time, the second rotary drive device 71 works, driving the semi-finished product gripping module to flip upward, so that the semi-finished product gripper 73 faces the support feeding structure.

[0083] After the flipping is completed, the bracket clamping claw 93 in the bracket assembly structure has automatically clamped the bracket in advance. The bracket assembly lifting device 91 moves downward, driving the bracket on the bracket clamping claw 93 to move downward. During the downward movement, the bracket gradually fits onto the semi-finished product held by the semi-finished product clamping claw 73. After fitting into the designated position, the bracket assembly lifting device 91 stops moving, and the heating wire assembly is completed. The semi-finished product displacement structure and auxiliary rod assembly structure return to their initial positions.

[0084] After the heating wire assembly is assembled, the bracket clamping claw 93 and the semi-finished product clamping claw 73 release the claws in sequence, and the heating wire assembly falls into the finished product collection box, completing the assembly process.

[0085] The automated feeding process for the support frame is as follows: First, the support frame vibratory feeder 81 feeds the support frame. The support frame vibratory feeder 81 is equipped with a foolproof structure, which is used to adjust the upright and reverse and upside down position of the support frame.

[0086] The bracket is transported out from the bracket outlet of the vibratory feeder 81 and then onto the guide rail assembly 82. The bracket feeding clamping device 90 is initially positioned directly above the end of the guide rail assembly 82.

[0087] When the support is transported to the end, the support sensor 83 senses the support, the support unloading lifting device 89 moves downward, and drives the support unloading clamping device 90 to move downward.

[0088] After the support is lowered into position, the support feeding clamping device 90 clamps the support. After clamping into position, the support feeding lifting device 89 moves upward. After the lifting is completed, the left and right drive device 88 moves to the right above the first set of support placement seats 87.

[0089] The support material lifting device 89 moves downward, driving the support material clamping device 90 to move downward. The support material clamping device 90 releases the support, and the support is placed in the first set of support placement seats 87. In sequence, the five sets of support placement seats 87 are filled with supports.

[0090] After the five sets of bracket placement seats 87 are filled in sequence, the bracket placement drive device 86 moves towards the semi-finished product displacement structure, pushing the five sets of bracket placement seats 87 directly above the bracket assembly clamping module. The bracket assembly lifting device 91 moves downward, driving the bracket assembly clamping module to move downward. After it descends to the position, the five sets of bracket clamping jaws 93 clamp the brackets on the five sets of bracket placement seats 87 respectively.

[0091] After clamping is completed, the bracket assembly lifting device 91 moves upward, driving the bracket assembly clamping module to move upward. After rising to the position, the bracket assembly structure waits for the semi-finished product displacement structure to flip over, completing the automated feeding and loading of the bracket.

[0092] As can be seen from the above, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: by adopting its mechanism, it can effectively solve the problems of low efficiency, inconsistent assembly standards and high labor costs in the prior art of manually assembling heating wire components. By using this product structure, through the cooperation between the auxiliary rod feeding structure, the auxiliary rod assembly structure, the semi-finished product assembly seat 6, the semi-finished product displacement structure, the bracket feeding structure and the bracket assembly structure, it can effectively improve assembly efficiency, reduce labor costs, and unify assembly standards, thus meeting the production and assembly needs of the market.

[0093] In the above embodiments, the bracket placement assembly includes a bracket placement plate 84, a bracket placement guide rail 85, a bracket placement drive device 86, and five sets of bracket placement seats 87. The bracket placement drive device 86 can push the bracket placement plate 84 under the bracket assembly structure, allowing the bracket assembly structure to clamp the bracket for assembly with the semi-finished products on the semi-finished product clamping jaws 73. Obviously, with this structure, the bracket placement drive device 86 can be used to clamp the bracket for the bracket assembly structure. Alternatively, the bracket placement drive device 86 can be omitted from the bracket placement assembly. The bracket feeding clamping device 90 also includes a bracket front and rear drive device 57. The bracket feeding lifting device 89 is a cylinder whose moving end is fixedly connected to the bracket front and rear drive device 57. The moving end of the bracket front and rear drive device 57 is fixedly connected to the bracket feeding clamping device 90. The bracket front and rear drive device 57 drives the bracket feeding clamping device 90 to clamp the bracket on the bracket placement seat 87, which can also achieve the technical effect of the above solution.

[0094] In the above embodiment, there are five sets of material trough 42, auxiliary rod clamping claw 59, semi-finished product assembly seat 6, and semi-finished product clamping claw 73. Obviously, this structure can improve assembly efficiency. Alternatively, the number of material trough 42, auxiliary rod clamping claw 59, semi-finished product assembly seat 6, and semi-finished product clamping claw 73 can be set to six, seven, eight, or nine sets, etc., which can achieve the same technical effect as the above solution.

[0095] The specific embodiments described above are preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the specific scope of the present invention. The scope of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, these specific embodiments. All equivalent changes made in accordance with the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
