Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electronic cigarette assembly technology, specifically relating to an electronic cigarette atomizer sealing silicone puncture assembly equipment and process. Background Technology
[0002] The part of an electronic cigarette that stores e-liquid is usually called the atomizer. The top of the atomizer needs to be sealed with silicone sealant. However, since the top of the atomizer typically also has two heating wires, piercing the silicone sealant is necessary to expose the heating wires when sealing the atomizer with silicone.
[0003] During manual assembly, workers can only assemble one atomizer at a time, resulting in low efficiency. The manual assembly process is as follows: the worker first grabs one heating lead and pierces the sealing silicone, then grabs the other heating lead and pierces the sealing silicone, finally installing the sealing silicone on top of the atomizer. However, during this process, piercing the sealing silicone is prone to misalignment, causing short circuits and producing defective products; furthermore, manually piercing the sealing silicone requires leaving approximately 50mm of heating lead exposed, wasting raw materials and increasing costs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems in existing technologies, this invention proposes a device and process for puncturing and assembling the sealing silicone of an electronic cigarette atomizer. This method improves efficiency and product yield through automated assembly, while requiring only about 15mm of heating lead wire to be left when puncturing the sealing silicone, thus saving raw materials and reducing costs.
[0005] This invention is implemented as follows:
[0006] An electronic cigarette atomizer sealing silicone puncture assembly device includes a frame and a transport mechanism mounted on the frame. A jig assembly is conveyed on the transport mechanism. The jig assembly has multiple atomizers arranged side-by-side. The transport mechanism stops transporting the jig assembly once it reaches its designated position.
[0007] One side of the transport mechanism is equipped with a positioning mechanism and a heating lead shaping mechanism. The positioning mechanism includes positioning grippers of a number corresponding to the number of atomizers; the positioning mechanism is used to position the atomizers on the fixture assembly to ensure the accuracy of the sealing silicone assembly. The shaping mechanism includes left and right heating lead shaping mechanisms and front and rear heating lead shaping mechanisms; the left and right heating lead shaping mechanisms include left and right shaping grippers of a number corresponding to the number of atomizers; the front and rear heating lead shaping mechanisms include front and rear shaping grippers of a number equal to half the number of atomizers. The shaping mechanism is used to adjust the posture of the heating lead to meet the puncture standards, such as the orientation of the heating lead ends and the spacing between heating leads. The positioning mechanism, the left and right heating lead shaping mechanisms, and the front and rear heating lead shaping mechanisms are arranged sequentially from bottom to top.
[0008] On the other side of the transport mechanism is a heating lead support mechanism, which includes a number of support claws corresponding to the number of atomizers. The heating lead support mechanism is used to prevent the heating lead from deforming during the process of piercing the sealing silicone, resulting in defective products, wasting raw materials, and increasing costs.
[0009] A material-picking platform is also provided on the side of the heating lead support mechanism away from the transport mechanism. The material-picking platform can move along the transport direction of the transport mechanism. A transfer robot is also provided above the material-picking platform. The transfer robot moves back and forth between the material-picking platform and the fixture assembly and installs the sealing silicone on the atomizer.
[0010] The material handling platform is provided with a feeding mechanism on the side away from the transport mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder, a linear vibrator, and a feeding robot. The vibratory feeder and linear vibrator transport the sealing silicone to the feeding position of the feeding robot, and the feeding robot then transports the sealing silicone to the material handling platform.
[0011] Since the fixture assembly has multiple atomizers, the material handling platform needs multiple sealing silicone corresponding to the atomizers. At the same time, since the movement trajectory of the loading robot is fixed, it is adapted by the moving material handling platform.
[0012] Preferably, the heating lead left and right shaping mechanism further includes a first driving unit for driving the heating lead left and right shaping mechanism to move back and forth, and a first guiding device arranged parallel to the first driving unit; it also includes a first connecting plate, and the first driving unit and the first guiding device are connected through the first connecting plate. The first driving unit drives the heating lead left and right shaping mechanism to move back and forth. Since the left and right shaping and the front and back shaping of the heating lead are performed sequentially, when the heating lead is shaped left and right, the first driving unit moves the left and right shaping jaws to a set position, and the left and right shaping jaws clamp the heating lead for shaping.
[0013] Specifically, the left and right shaping grippers are both fixedly mounted on the front end of the first connecting plate. The front end of the first connecting plate is also provided with multiple first spacing partitions corresponding to the left and right shaping grippers, and these first spacing partitions are fixed in the middle of the left and right shaping grippers. The first spacing partitions are used to ensure the spacing between the heating leads when the left and right shaping grippers shape the heating leads, ensuring that the spacing between the heating leads meets the set standard and reducing the generation of defective products.
[0014] Preferably, the heating lead front and rear shaping mechanism further includes a second driving unit for driving the heating lead front and rear shaping mechanism to move back and forth, and a second guiding device arranged parallel to the second driving unit; it also includes a second connecting plate, the second driving unit and the second guiding device being connected through the second connecting plate; the front and rear shaping jaws are both mounted and fixed to the front end of the second connecting plate. The second driving unit drives the heating lead front and rear shaping mechanism to move back and forth. Since the left and right shaping and front and rear shaping of the heating lead are performed sequentially, when the heating lead is being shaped front and rear, the first driving unit moves the left and right shaping jaws to a set position, and the front and rear shaping jaws clamp the heating lead for shaping.
[0015] Specifically, a first lifting mechanism is provided below the second driving unit, which drives the front and rear shaping mechanism of the heating lead to move up and down. Since the front and rear shaping mechanism of the heating lead shapes the heating lead, it is not possible to place the heating lead into the front and rear shaping jaws by moving it back and forth alone. The first lifting mechanism places the heating lead into the front and rear shaping jaws by driving the front and rear shaping mechanism of the heating lead to move up and down.
[0016] Preferably, a second lifting mechanism is provided below the left and right heating lead shaping mechanism. This second lifting mechanism drives the left and right heating lead shaping mechanism and the front and rear heating lead shaping mechanism to move up and down simultaneously. The second lifting mechanism can adjust the overall height of the heating lead shaping mechanism to accommodate different atomizer models, thus improving the compatibility of the heating lead shaping mechanism.
[0017] Preferably, the lower end of the heating lead support mechanism is provided with a third lifting mechanism, which drives a third driving unit above it to move up and down. Above the third driving unit is a third connecting plate, which is driven by the third driving unit to move back and forth. This is to avoid the atomizer when the fixture assembly moves, preventing the heating lead support mechanism from damaging the atomizer. The third lifting mechanism can adjust the overall height of the heating lead support mechanism to accommodate different models of atomizers, improving the compatibility of the heating lead support mechanism.
[0018] Specifically, the supporting gripper is fixedly mounted on the front end of the third connecting plate. The front end of the third connecting plate is also provided with multiple second spacing partitions corresponding to the supporting gripper. These second spacing partitions are fixedly mounted in the middle of the supporting gripper. The second spacing partitions are used to ensure the spacing between the heating leads when the supporting gripper supports them, ensuring that the spacing between the heating leads meets the set standard and reducing the generation of defective products.
[0019] Preferably, the transfer robot includes an X-axis module that moves in the front-to-back direction, a Y-axis module that moves in the left-to-right direction, and a Z-axis module that moves in the up-down direction. The Z-axis module is equipped with a vacuum adsorption component, and the bottom of the vacuum adsorption component has multiple vacuum nozzles corresponding to the atomizer. The transfer robot's movement in three directions improves its flexibility and compatibility. By handling the sealing silicone through the vacuum nozzles, the vacuum level of the nozzles can be monitored to determine whether there is sealing silicone on them, thus improving the reliability of the transfer robot.
[0020] Specifically, the shape of the vacuum nozzle is adapted to the sealing silicone. Since the sealing silicone has a vent tube and is a flexible material, the vent tube is prone to deformation during assembly, leading to poor ventilation. When the shape of the vacuum nozzle is adapted to the sealing silicone, the vacuum nozzle has a guide pin that extends into the vent tube. During assembly, the guide pin effectively prevents deformation of the vent tube, thus improving production yield.
[0021] Preferably, the loading robot is a pure cam-structure transfer robot, which moves along a predetermined trajectory under the drive of a servo or stepper motor. The pure cam-structure transfer robot has a fixed motion trajectory, making it suitable for high-speed environments where the motion trajectory does not need to be changed, achieving rapid material handling and thus improving efficiency.
[0022] A puncture assembly process for sealing silicone in an electronic cigarette atomizer, applied to the aforementioned puncture assembly equipment, comprising the following steps:
[0023] S1: Vibratory feeder and direct vibration feeding transport the sealing silicone to the material handling position of the feeding robot;
[0024] S2: The loading robot moves the sealing silicone to the material handling platform;
[0025] S3: The transport mechanism transports the fixture components to the designated location;
[0026] S4: The positioning mechanism positions the fixture components;
[0027] S5: The heating lead support organization provides support for heating leads;
[0028] S6: The heating lead shaping mechanism adjusts the posture of the heating lead. The left and right shaping mechanisms of the heating lead extend to adjust the spacing of the heating lead in the left and right directions and then retract. The front and rear shaping mechanisms of the heating lead extend to adjust the posture of the heating lead in the front and rear directions and then retract, so that the posture of the heating lead extends and is set in the vertical direction.
[0029] S7: The transfer robot moves the sealing silicone to above the heating lead and punctures the sealing silicone through the heating lead. After puncture, the heating lead support mechanism returns.
[0030] S8: The transfer robot attaches the punctured sealing silicone to the atomizer.
[0031] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0032] (1) Improve product yield: On the one hand, the heating lead is adjusted in posture by the heating lead shaping mechanism and the heating lead support mechanism, which reduces the defective products generated during puncture; on the other hand, the assembly is assisted by the vacuum nozzle that is compatible with the sealing silicone, which reduces the deformation of the air tube and reduces the defective products caused by the air tube.
[0033] (2) Save raw materials: The heating lead is adjusted in posture by the heating lead shaping mechanism and the heating lead support mechanism, which reduces the length of heating lead that needs to be reserved in the previous process and reduces the waste of raw materials.
[0034] (3) Improve efficiency: Assembly efficiency is improved by replacing manual labor with automated equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0046] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0047] Example 1
[0048] like Figures 1-7 As shown, an electronic cigarette atomizer sealing silicone puncture assembly device includes a frame 1 and a transport mechanism 2 mounted on the frame 1. The transport mechanism 2 conveys a jig assembly (not shown in the figure), which has multiple atomizers 8 arranged side-by-side. The transport mechanism 2 stops transporting the jig assembly once it reaches its designated position.
[0049] The transport mechanism 2 is provided with a positioning mechanism (not shown in the figure) and a heating lead shaping mechanism 3 on one side. The positioning mechanism includes positioning claws in number corresponding to the atomizers 8. The positioning mechanism is used to position the atomizers 8 on the fixture assembly to ensure the accuracy of the sealing silicone 82 during assembly.
[0050] The shaping mechanism includes a left-right shaping mechanism 31 for the heating lead and a front-back shaping mechanism 32 for the heating lead. The left-right shaping mechanism 31 includes left and right shaping grippers 314 in number corresponding to the number of atomizers 8. The front-back shaping mechanism 32 includes front and back shaping grippers 324 in number half that of the atomizers 8. The shaping mechanism is used to adjust the posture of the heating lead 81 to meet the puncture standards, such as the orientation of the end of the heating lead 81 and the spacing between the heating leads 81. The positioning mechanism, the left-right shaping mechanism 31, and the front-back shaping mechanism 32 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top.
[0051] In this embodiment, the heating lead left and right shaping mechanism 31 further includes a first driving unit 312 that drives the heating lead left and right shaping mechanism 31 to move back and forth, and a first guiding device 313 arranged parallel to the first driving unit 312; it also includes a first connecting plate 311, and the first driving unit 312 and the first guiding device 313 are connected through the first connecting plate 311. The first driving unit 312 drives the heating lead left and right shaping mechanism 31 to move back and forth. Since the left and right shaping and the front and back shaping of the heating lead 81 are performed sequentially, when the heating lead 81 is shaped left and right, the first driving unit 312 moves the left and right shaping jaws 314 to a set position, and the left and right shaping jaws 314 clamp the heating lead 81 for shaping.
[0052] Specifically, the left and right shaping grippers 314 are both fixedly mounted on the front end of the first connecting plate 311. The front end of the first connecting plate 311 is also provided with multiple first spacing partitions 315 corresponding to the left and right shaping grippers 314. The first spacing partitions 315 are fixed in the middle of the left and right shaping grippers 314. The first spacing partitions 315 are used to ensure the spacing between the heating leads 81 when the left and right shaping grippers 314 are shaping the heating leads 81, so that the spacing between the heating leads 81 meets the set standard, reducing the generation of defective products.
[0053] In this embodiment, the heating lead front and rear shaping mechanism 32 further includes a second driving unit 322 for driving the heating lead front and rear shaping mechanism 32 to move back and forth, and a second guiding device 323 arranged parallel to the second driving unit 322; it also includes a second connecting plate 321, through which the second driving unit 322 and the second guiding device 323 are connected; the front and rear shaping jaws 324 are both mounted and fixed to the front end of the second connecting plate 321. The second driving unit 322 drives the heating lead front and rear shaping mechanism 32 to move back and forth. Since the left and right shaping and front and rear shaping of the heating lead 81 are performed sequentially, when the heating lead 81 is being shaped back and forth, the first driving unit 312 moves the left and right shaping jaws 314 to a set position, and the front and rear shaping jaws 324 clamp the heating lead 81 for shaping.
[0054] Specifically, a first lifting mechanism 325 is provided below the second driving unit 322. The first lifting mechanism 325 drives the front and rear shaping mechanism 32 of the heating lead to move up and down. Since the front and rear shaping mechanism 32 of the heating lead shapes the heating lead 81, the heating lead 81 cannot be placed in the front and rear shaping jaws 324 by moving it back and forth alone. The first lifting mechanism 325 places the heating lead 81 in the front and rear shaping jaws 324 by driving the front and rear shaping mechanism 32 of the heating lead to move up and down.
[0055] In this embodiment, a second lifting mechanism 33 is further provided below the left and right heating lead shaping mechanism 31. The second lifting mechanism 33 drives the left and right heating lead shaping mechanism 31 and the front and rear heating lead shaping mechanism 32 to move up and down simultaneously. The second lifting mechanism 33 can adjust the overall height of the heating lead shaping mechanism 3 to accommodate different models of atomizers 8, thus improving the compatibility of the heating lead shaping mechanism 3.
[0056] On the other side of the transport mechanism 2, there is a heating lead wire support mechanism 4. The heating lead wire support mechanism 4 includes a number of support claws 43 corresponding to the number of atomizers 8. The heating lead wire support mechanism 4 is used to prevent the heating lead wire 81 from deforming during the process of piercing the sealing silicone 82, resulting in defective products, wasting raw materials, and increasing costs.
[0057] In this embodiment, a third lifting mechanism 45 is provided at the lower end of the heating lead support mechanism 4. The third lifting mechanism 45 drives a third driving unit 42 located above it, and the third lifting mechanism 45 drives the third driving unit 42 to move up and down. A third connecting plate 41 is provided above the third driving unit 42, and the third driving unit 42 drives the third connecting plate 41 to move back and forth. This is used to avoid the atomizer 8 when the fixture assembly moves, preventing the heating lead support mechanism 4 from damaging the atomizer 8. The third lifting mechanism 45 can adjust the overall height of the heating lead support mechanism 4 to accommodate different models of atomizers 8, thus improving the compatibility of the heating lead support mechanism 4.
[0058] Specifically, the supporting gripper 43 is fixedly mounted on the front end of the third connecting plate 41. The front end of the third connecting plate 41 is also provided with multiple second spacing partitions 44 corresponding to the supporting gripper 43. These second spacing partitions 44 are fixedly mounted in the middle of the supporting gripper 43. The second spacing partitions 44 are used to ensure the spacing between the heating leads 81 when the supporting gripper 43 supports them, ensuring that the spacing between the heating leads 81 meets the set standard and reducing the generation of defective products.
[0059] A material-picking platform 6 is also provided on the side of the heating lead support mechanism 4 away from the transport mechanism 2. The material-picking platform 6 can move along the transport direction of the transport mechanism 2. A transfer robot 5 is also provided above the material-picking platform 6. The transfer robot 5 reciprocates between the material-picking platform 6 and the fixture assembly and installs the sealing silicone 82 on the atomizer 8.
[0060] In this embodiment, the loading robot is a pure cam-structure transfer robot. Driven by a servo motor or stepper motor, the robot moves along a predetermined trajectory. The fixed motion trajectory of the pure cam-structure transfer robot allows it to operate in high-speed environments without requiring changes to the trajectory, achieving rapid material handling and thus improving efficiency.
[0061] In this embodiment, the transfer robot 5 includes an X-axis module 51 that moves in the front-to-back direction, a Y-axis module 52 that moves in the left-to-right direction, and a Z-axis module 53 that moves in the up-down direction. The Z-axis module 53 is equipped with a vacuum adsorption assembly 54, and the bottom of the vacuum adsorption assembly 54 has multiple vacuum nozzles 55 corresponding to the atomizer 8. The transfer robot 5's movement in three directions improves its flexibility and compatibility. By using the vacuum nozzles 55 to transport the sealing silicone 82, the vacuum level of the vacuum nozzles 55 can be monitored to determine whether there is sealing silicone 82 on the nozzles, thus improving the reliability of the transfer robot 5.
[0062] Specifically, the shape of the vacuum nozzle 55 is adapted to the sealing silicone 82. Since the sealing silicone 82 has a vent tube and is a flexible material, the vent tube is prone to deformation during assembly, leading to poor ventilation. When the shape of the vacuum nozzle 55 is adapted to the sealing silicone 82, the vacuum nozzle 55 is equipped with a guide pin 551 that extends into the vent tube. During assembly, the guide pin 551 effectively prevents deformation of the vent tube, thus improving production yield.
[0063] The material handling platform 6 is provided with a feeding mechanism 7 on the side away from the transport mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 7 includes a vibratory feeder 71, a linear vibrator 72, and a feeding robot 73. The vibratory feeder 71 and the linear vibrator 72 transport the sealing silicone 82 to the material handling position of the feeding robot 73, and the feeding robot 73 then transports the sealing silicone 82 to the material handling platform 6.
[0064] In this embodiment, the loading robot 73 is a pure cam-structure transfer robot. Driven by a servo motor or stepper motor, the robot moves along a predetermined trajectory. The fixed motion trajectory of the pure cam-structure transfer robot allows it to operate in high-speed environments without requiring changes to the trajectory, achieving rapid material handling and thus improving efficiency.

[0067] S1: Vibratory feeder and direct vibration feeding transport the sealing silicone to the material handling position of the feeding robot;
[0068] S2: The loading robot moves the sealing silicone to the material handling platform;
[0069] S3: The transport mechanism transports the fixture components to the designated location;

The front and rear shaping mechanisms of the heating lead extend to adjust the posture of the heating lead in the front and rear directions and then retract, so that the posture of the heating lead extends and is set in the vertical direction.
[0073] S7: The transfer robot moves the sealing silicone to above the heating lead and punctures the sealing silicone through the heating lead. After puncture, the heating lead support mechanism returns.
[0074] S8: The transfer robot attaches the punctured sealing silicone to the atomizer.
