[0002] The electronic cigarette housing generally refers to the outer shell part of an electronic cigarette device, which is mainly used to accommodate components such as electronic elements and batteries of the electronic cigarette, and to protect these components from damage. The electronic cigarette housing is usually made of metal, plastic or other materials, and the design styles and materials of the electronic cigarette housings of different brands and models will also vary to meet the preferences and needs of different consumers. The electronic cigarette housing usually includes a mouthpiece, as well as components such as a battery and electronic elements.

[0003] The installation of the button on the electronic cigarette housing is usually completed during the design and manufacturing process. The button is usually used as a control element of the electronic cigarette device for functions such as turning on and off the power supply, adjusting the temperature or power, etc. When installing the button, the manufacturer usually embeds the button assembly into the housing and ensures that the position and operation of the button meet the design requirements.

[0004] Currently, during the process of installing a button on an electronic cigarette housing, it is necessary to place the housing on the surface of a conveyor track for conveyance. However, during the process of the operator placing the housing, the housing may be placed in different positions. In this case, when installing the button on the housing, it may cause the manipulator to fail to find the installation hole on the housing surface, resulting in a deviation in the installation position of the button during the process of installing the button on the housing surface, affecting the correctness of the operation.

A traction rope is installed between the winding disc and the connecting rod.

[0014] As an alternative embodiment of the button mounting device for an electronic cigarette housing according to the present invention, the following applies: A first airbag is installed at the end of the detection block. An air suction channel is formed inside the connecting rod. The air suction channel communicates with the moving hole and also communicates with the first airbag. A first piston block is installed on the surface of the connecting rod. The first piston block is inserted and slidably engaged with the moving hole.

[0015] As an alternative embodiment of the button mounting device for an electronic cigarette housing according to the present invention, the following applies: A clamping seat for fixing the housing is installed at the end of the manipulator. An arc-shaped plate for clamping on the surface of the housing is slidably installed inside the clamping seat. A fourth spring is installed between the arc-shaped plate and the clamping seat.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. For the button mounting device for the electronic cigarette housing, by placing the housing on the surface of the placement seat, during the movement of the placement seat, the housing is driven to reach the bottom side of the manipulator, enabling the manipulator to install buttons on the housing; during the movement of the placement plate, by the cooperation of the traction rod and the track of the track groove, the traction rod pushes the second stopper during movement, thereby adjusting the housing with the wrong placement direction by the movement of the second stopper, making the mounting hole of the housing located at the bottom side of the manipulator, facilitating the manipulator to install buttons on the housing;

[0018] In this way, there is no need for the operator to perform fine operations on the feeding position of the housing, nor to readjust when the placement position is incorrect, thus reducing the degree of manual participation and the difficulty of manual operation, and greatly improving the efficiency of installing buttons on the electronic cigarette housing.

[0019] 2. When the placement plate moves to the bottom side of the manipulator, the detection block is pushed by the first spring, causing the detection block to expand and contract towards the housing. When the detection block is inserted into the inner part of the smoking nozzle of the housing, the connecting rod loses the restriction on the inclined block, and thus the movable end of the manipulator descends to install the button on the housing; when the detection block cannot be inserted into the inner part of the smoking nozzle, it means that the placement direction of the housing is opposite. Through the cooperation of the inclined block and the movable block, the manipulator is displaced, so that the manipulator automatically moves to the side opposite to the housing to install the button on the housing; by judging the direction of the housing during the process of whether the detection block is inserted into the inner part of the smoking nozzle, and using the cooperation between the detection block and the inclined block, the manipulator adaptively adjusts its position to install the button on the housing. In this way, it is not necessary for the operator to unify the housing direction when feeding the housing, and only need to ensure that the housing is placed upwards, thereby further reducing the difficulty of manual operation. Even if the feeding direction of the housing does not correspond to the position of the manipulator, the position of the manipulator can be automatically adjusted to complete the button installation, further improving the efficiency of installing the button on the e-cigarette housing.

[0020] 3. When the manipulator installs the button on the housing with the opposite direction, during the descending process of the manipulator, the two ends of the engaging seat are engaged on both sides of the housing to limit the position of the housing. At the same time, using the cooperation of the fourth spring and the arc-shaped plate, the fourth spring pushes the arc-shaped plate to press the housing; when the placement position of the housing is correct, at this time, the engaging seat and the fixed block are both located at the end of the housing. During the process of installing the button on the housing, the housing will shift. Since the detection block is engaged in the inner part of the smoking nozzle and the first airbag automatically expands, the end of the housing is automatically fixed, realizing the support of three points at the front end of the housing, further strengthening the stability of the housing during the button installation; when the placement position of the housing is opposite, the end of the smoking nozzle is far from the detection block, so the detection block cannot extend into the inner part of the smoking nozzle, so the housing loses one fixation. However, since the engaging seat moves with the manipulator to the other end of the housing, and at this time, the positions of the engaging seat and the fixed block are respectively at both ends of the housing, so the pressing position of the engaging seat and the two points of the fixed block form a line, making the housing stable when installing the button; in this way, the housing can be fixed regardless of whether its position is positive or negative, reducing the movement or shaking of the housing during the button installation process and ensuring the stability of the button installation.

Detailed implementation manners

[0030] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] Embodiment 1. The purpose of this embodiment is to facilitate the solution of the problem that during the process of installing a button on the e-cigarette housing, the housing needs to be placed on the surface of the conveyor track for conveyance. However, during the process of the operator placing the housing, the placement position of the housing may be inconsistent. At this time, when installing the button on the housing, the manipulator may not be able to find the installation hole on the surface of the housing, resulting in a deviation in the installation position of the button during the process of installing the button on the surface of the housing, affecting the correctness of the operation. Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 8, an e-cigarette shell button installation device, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including a conveyor track 110 and a manipulator 111 for clamping and installing buttons. The manipulator 111 is installed on the upper side of the conveyor track 110. A placement seat 120 for placing the shell is installed on the surface of the conveyor track 110. There are several placement seats 120, and several placement seats 120 are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the conveyor track of the conveyor track 110. A detection block 140 for detecting the placement direction of the shell is installed on the upper side of the conveyor track 110 shell, and a fixing plate 150 for supporting the detection block 140 is installed on the upper side of the conveyor track 110 shell.

[0032] as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , specifically in implementation, the operator puts the shell into the interior of the placement seat 120, and the placement seat 120 moves along with the conveyor track 110. When the placement seat 120 moves to the bottom side of the manipulator 111, the manipulator 111 clamps the button and installs it on the shell below.

[0033] It should be noted that the manipulator 111 is a device commonly used in automated production lines. Manipulators are very common in industrial production and are common devices in this field.

[0034] as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , fixing blocks 131 for fixing the shell are symmetrically installed on the upper side of the placement seat 120. The fixing blocks 131 are used to fix and clamp both sides of the shell. A first stop block 132 and a second stop block 133 for adjusting the position of the shell are installed on the surface of the placement seat 120. The second stop block 133 is used to push the end of the shell and adjust the position of the shell. Specifically in implementation, when the operator puts the shell between the two fixing blocks 131, the two fixing blocks 131 play a role in clamping the shell and at the same time limit both sides of the shell. A docking groove 223 is opened on the surface of the second stop block 133, and the detection block 140 movably penetrates through the docking groove 223.

[0035] as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a first sliding groove 134 is opened on the surface of the placement seat 120. A sliding block 135 is installed on the bottom side of the second stop block 133. The sliding block 135 is slidably matched with the first sliding groove 134. A traction rod 136 is installed on the side of the sliding block 135. A track groove 112 for guiding the movement of the traction rod 136 is opened on the side of the conveyor track 110. Through the setting of the track groove 112, during the movement of the placement seat 120, the traction rod 136 cooperates with the track groove 112, so that the track groove 112 can move the traction rod 136, and thus the moving traction rod 136 can drive the second stop block 133 to move. Therefore, the moving second stop block 133 adjusts the shell.

[0036] During specific implementation, since it is difficult for the operator to ensure the accuracy of the placement position and direction of the housing when placing the housing, the specific position and direction of the housing are random when placing the housing. When the placement seat 120 moves along with the conveyor track 110, during the movement of the placement seat 120, by means of the cooperation between the traction rod 136 and the track of the track groove 112, the traction rod 136 drives the second stopper 133 to move during the movement, thereby correcting the position of the housing until the other end of the housing abuts against the first stopper 132, so that the mounting hole on the surface of the housing is located directly below the manipulator 111. Therefore, it is convenient to operate the mounting button on the housing, realizing the automatic adjustment of the position of the e-cigarette housing during the movement, so as to automate the mounting of the button.

[0037] In this embodiment: By placing the housing on the surface of the placement seat 120, the housing is driven to the bottom side of the manipulator 111 during the movement of the placement seat 120, so that the manipulator 111 mounts the button on the housing; during the movement of the placement plate, by means of the cooperation between the traction rod 136 and the track of the track groove 112, the traction rod 136 pushes the second stopper 133 during the movement, thereby adjusting the housing with the wrong placement direction by the movement of the second stopper 133, so that the mounting hole of the housing is located at the bottom side of the manipulator 111, facilitating the manipulator 111 to mount the button on the housing;

[0038] In this way, there is no need for the operator to perform fine operations on the feeding position of the housing, nor to readjust when the placement position is incorrect, thereby reducing the degree of manual participation and the difficulty of manual operation, and greatly improving the efficiency of mounting the button on the e-cigarette housing.

[0039] Embodiment 2. The purpose of this embodiment is to facilitate the solution of the problem that when the operator places the housing, the direction of the housing is reversed, resulting in the manipulator being unable to find the mounting hole for the mounting button on the surface of the housing, thus requiring manual adjustment of the housing direction, which is time-consuming and laborious. This embodiment is an improvement based on Embodiment 1. Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 8 and see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 . A first spring 151 is installed between the detection block 140 and the fixed plate 150. A connecting rod 154 is fixedly connected to the side of the detection block 140. A pressing groove 160 is formed inside the housing of the conveyor track 110. An inclined block 130 for adjusting the manipulator 111 is movably installed inside the pressing groove 160. A second spring 161 for resetting the inclined block 130 is installed between the inclined block 130 and the pressing groove 160. An activity hole 152 is formed on the surface of the fixed plate 150. An insertion groove 153 is formed on the surface of the inclined block 130. The connecting rod 154 is movably inserted through the activity hole 152 and the insertion groove 153.

[0040] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in specific implementation, when the first spring 151 is in a normal expanded state, the end of the connecting rod 154 is separated from the insertion slot 153. During the movement of the placement seat 120, the second stopper 133 is driven to move, so that the front side of the second stopper 133 presses the detection block 140. At the same time, the first spring 151 is abutted by the second stopper 133 and compressed. Therefore, the connecting rod 154 retracts into the insertion slot 153. When the docking slot 223 of the second stopper 133 corresponds to the detection block 140, the compressed first spring 151 loses its restriction and pushes the detection block 140, so that the detection block 140 passes through the docking slot 223 and reaches the inside of the housing cigarette holder. When the detection block 140 can extend into the housing cigarette holder, it means that the placement position of the housing is correct, that is, the installation hole is directly below the manipulator 111 at this time; during the process of the detection block 140 passing through the docking slot 223, when the detection block 140 cannot extend, it means that the placement position of the housing is opposite.

[0041] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , an L-shaped seat 180 for supporting the manipulator 111 is installed on the upper side of the conveyor track 110. A second sliding slot 181 is opened on the bottom side of the L-shaped seat 180. The manipulator 111 is slidably arranged inside the second sliding slot 181. A third spring 182 for resetting the manipulator 111 is installed between the second sliding slot 181 and the manipulator 111. A limiting block 184 and a movable block 185 are installed on the surface of the movable end of the manipulator 111. The movable block 185 is slidably arranged on the surface of the movable end of the manipulator 111. The limiting block 184 is used to limit the position of the movable block 185. A plurality of balls 190 are installed on the upper side of the inclined block 130, and the plurality of balls 190 are in contact with the movable block 185.

[0042] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in specific implementation, when the detection block 140 reaches the inside of the housing cigarette holder, the movable end of the manipulator 111 presses down, so that the movable block 185 installed on the movable end of the manipulator 111 presses the inclined block 130. When the inclined block 130 is pressed down, the second spring 161 is compressed. Therefore, the second spring 161 is in a compressed state. At the same time, the bottom side of the manipulator 111 reaches the position of the button hole installed on the surface of the housing, so as to install the button on the housing;

[0043] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6When the detection block 140 does not reach the inside of the shell mouthpiece, the movable end of the manipulator 111 presses down. Since the detection block 140 does not reach the inside of the shell mouthpiece, the connecting rod 154 on the side of the detection block 140 is engaged in the through-slot 153, so that the connecting rod 154 restricts the inclined block 130. Therefore, when the movable end of the manipulator 111 presses down, the inclined block 130 is restricted by the connecting rod 154 and does not move. Since the movable block 185 is installed at the movable end of the manipulator 111, During the downward pressing of the manipulator 111, the upper side of the inclined block 130 resists the movable block 185, so that during the movement of the movable block 185, the inclined block 130 pushes the movable block 185 by means of resistance, so that the movable block 185 drives the manipulator 111 to move, and the top of the manipulator 111 slides from one end of the second sliding groove 181 to the other end, so that the manipulator 111 reaches the position of the opposite shell mounting hole after movement, so that the button installation of the shell mounting hole can continue.

[0044] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A tooth segment 162 is installed on the side of the inclined block 130, a rotating rod 171 is rotatably installed between the inner walls of the pressing groove 160, a winding disk 172 is sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 171, a volute spring 173 is installed between the winding disk 172 and the rotating rod 171, a rotating rod 171 is coaxially installed on the driving gear 170, the driving gear 170 is meshed with the tooth segment 162, and a traction rope 174 is installed between the winding disk 172 and the connecting rod 154.

[0045] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a specific implementation, when the inclined block 130 is pressed down, the tooth segment 162 provided on the side of the inclined block 130 meshes with the driving gear 170, so that the driving gear 170 rotates and the rotating rod 171 is driven to rotate, so that the winding disk 172 will recycle the traction rope 174. Since a volute spring 173 is installed between the winding disk 172 and the rotating rod 171, the traction rope 174 will be pressed when the inclined block 130 is pressed down, and the traction rope 174 drives the volute spring 173 to expand, so that the connecting rod 154 will not be restricted;

[0046] When the movable end of the manipulator 111 is reset, the movable block 185 loses its resistance to the inclined block 130. At this time, the compressed second spring 161 is expanded to drive the inclined block 130 to reset. During the movement of the inclined block 130, the tooth segment 162 provided on the side of the inclined block 130 engages with the driving gear 170. While the driving gear 170 rotates, the winding disk 172 on the surface of the rotating rod 171 rotates, so that the winding disk 172 reels the traction rope 174. During the rewinding process, the traction rope 174 pulls the connecting rod 154, so that the connecting rod 154 drives the detection block 140 to move backward, so that the detection block 140 is separated from the smoking nozzle and the docking groove 223. At this time, the inclined block 130 is successfully reset, and the placement seat 120 loses the restriction of the detection block 140 and moves smoothly.

[0047] In this embodiment: when the placement plate is moved to the bottom side of the manipulator 111, the detection block 140 is pushed by the first spring 151 to extend and retract toward the shell. When the detection block 140 is inserted into the inside of the shell mouthpiece, the connecting rod 154 loses the restriction on the inclined block 130, so that the movable end of the manipulator 111 descends to install the button of the shell; when the detection block 140 is not inserted into the inside of the shell mouthpiece, it means that the direction of the shell is opposite, and the manipulator 111 is displaced by the cooperation of the inclined block 130 and the movable block 185, so that the manipulator 111 automatically moves to the shell side. The buttons are installed on the shell to the opposite side; the direction of the shell is judged by detecting whether the detection block 140 is inserted into the smoking mouthpiece, and the cooperation between the detection block 140 and the inclined block 130 is utilized to make the manipulator 111 adaptively adjust the position to install the buttons on the shell. In this way, there is no need for the operator to unify the direction of the shell when loading the shell, and it is only necessary to ensure that the shell is placed facing upward, thereby further reducing the difficulty of manual operation. Even if the loading direction of the shell does not correspond to the position of the manipulator, the position of the manipulator can be automatically adjusted to complete the installation of the button, thereby further improving the efficiency of installing the button on the electronic cigarette shell.

[0048] Embodiment 3: This embodiment is intended to promote the solution of the problem in Embodiment 1 that, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the shell, the relative position of the placement seat and the shell is close to the edge after adjustment, resulting in the shell being offset when subjected to force during installation, which is not conducive to installation and leads to inaccurate installation. This embodiment is an improvement made on the basis of Embodiment 2. For details, please refer to Figures 1 - 8 A snap-fit seat 220 for fixing the shell is installed on the side of the telescopic end of the manipulator 111, and an arc plate 221 for snapping on the shell surface is slidably installed inside the snap-fit seat 220, and a fourth spring 222 is installed between the arc plate 221 and the snap-fit seat 220.

[0049] During specific implementation, when the manipulator 111 installs buttons on the shells with opposite directions, during the descending process of the manipulator 111, both ends of the engaging seat 220 are engaged on both sides of the shell, thereby restricting the position of the shell. At the same time, with the cooperation of the fourth spring 222 and the arc plate 221, the fourth spring 222 pushes the arc plate 221 to press the shell. When the shell is placed in the opposite position, the end of the cigarette holder away from the detection block, so the detection block cannot extend into the cigarette holder, and thus the shell loses one fixation. However, since the engaging seat moves with the manipulator to the other end of the shell, and at this time the positions of the engaging seat and the fixing block are respectively at both ends of the shell, the downward pressing position of the engaging seat and the fixing block form a line, so that the shell can remain stable when installing the button.

[0050] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 And Figure 8 , a first airbag 210 is installed at the end of the detection block 140. An air suction channel 211 is opened inside the connecting rod 154. The air suction channel 211 communicates with the moving hole 152, and the air suction channel 211 communicates with the first airbag 210. A first piston block 212 is installed on the surface of the connecting rod 154, and the first piston block 212 is inserted and slidably matched with the moving hole 152.

[0051] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 And Figure 8 , during specific implementation, driven by the first spring 151, the detection block 140 drives the connecting rod 154 to displace. During the movement of the detection block 140, the first piston block 212 moves into the moving hole 152, so that the gas inside the moving hole 152 flows into the air suction channel 211. At the same time, it is beneficial for the air suction channel 211 to inflate the first airbag 210. At this time, the first airbag 210 on the surface of the detection block 140 inside the cigarette holder expands. During the expansion of the first airbag 210, the gap with the cigarette holder decreases, thereby fixing the end of the shell. When the shell is placed in the correct direction, at this time the engaging seat 220 and the fixing block 131 are both located at the end of the shell. During the process of installing the button on the shell, it will cause the shell to shift. Since the detection block 140 is engaged inside the cigarette holder and the first airbag 210 automatically expands, it automatically fixes the end of the shell, realizing the support of three points at the front end of the shell, and further strengthening the stability of the shell when installing the button.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the manipulator 111 installs buttons on the shells with opposite directions, during the descending process, the two ends of the engaging seat 220 are engaged on both sides of the shell, thereby restricting the position of the shell. At the same time, with the cooperation of the fourth spring 222 and the arc-shaped plate 221, the fourth spring 222 pushes the arc-shaped plate 221 to press the shell; when the shell is placed in the correct position, at this time, the engaging seat 220 and the fixed block 131 are both located at the end of the shell. During the process of installing buttons on the shell, it will cause the shell to shift. Since the detection block 140 is engaged inside the cigarette holder and the first airbag 210 automatically expands, it automatically fixes the end of the shell, realizing the support of three points at the front end of the shell, further strengthening the stability of the shell when installing buttons; when the shell is placed in the opposite position, the end of the cigarette holder is far from the detection block 140. Therefore, the detection block 140 cannot extend into the cigarette holder, so the shell loses one fixation. However, since the engaging seat 220 moves with the manipulator 111 to the other end of the shell, and at this time, the positions of the engaging seat 220 and the fixed block 131 are respectively at both ends of the shell, the pressing position of the engaging seat 220 and the two points of the fixed block 131 form a line, so that the shell can remain stable when installing buttons; in this way, the shell can be fixed regardless of whether its position is positive or negative, reducing the movement or shaking of the shell during the button installation process and ensuring the stability of button installation.
