Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electronic cigarette production, and in particular to a feeding device for assembling an electronic cigarette shell. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of electronic cigarettes, the assembly of the shell is a key link, and the performance of the feeding device directly affects the assembly efficiency and quality. Traditional electronic cigarette shell feeding devices are often simple in structure and single in function. For example, some vibrating feed trays only rely on simple vibration to convey the shell, which makes it difficult to ensure the neat arrangement and stable conveying of the shell during the conveying process.

[0003] During the conveying process, electronic cigarette shells are prone to accumulation and jamming, resulting in feeding interruptions and affecting production efficiency. Moreover, electronic cigarette shells will generate static electricity due to mutual friction during vibration and conveying.

[0016] Beneficial Effects

[0017] The present invention provides a feeding device for assembling an electronic cigarette shell. Compared with the prior art, the feeding device has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The feeding device for assembling electronic cigarette shells uses the energy storage component to drive the piston plate to move by the up and down vibration of the vibrating material tray, so as to inhale the air and transport it to the energy storage cylinder for storage. When the pressure in the energy storage cylinder reaches a certain level, the high-pressure gas is released. When the gas is released, the motor in the auxiliary component can drive the rotating rod and the lever to rotate, so as to stir the accumulated electronic cigarette shells and break up the shells that are interlocked with each other to ensure the conveying effect.

[0019] 2. The feeding device for assembling the electronic cigarette shell uses the energy storage component to send high-pressure gas into the external box to blow the impeller, providing auxiliary force for the motor to start, improving the stability and reliability of the equipment operation, and reducing the feeding interruption caused by the shell jamming.

[0020] 3. The feeding device for assembling electronic cigarette shells cooperates with the guiding bucket and the gathering plate. When the vibrating material tray conveys the shells to the guiding bucket, the electronic cigarette shells can be gathered to keep the shells entering the guiding bucket in a neat state, and at regular intervals, the gas released by the stored energy is used to push the piston plate in the processing cylinder, thereby driving the pushing plate to push the shells accumulated at the guiding bucket to the bottom of the vibrating material tray, reducing the probability of the shells accumulating and getting stuck here, and ensuring the accuracy and continuity of the feeding.

[0021] 4. In the feeding device for assembling the electronic cigarette shell, the electrode plate in the positioning component can be charged with an opposite charge to the static electricity of the electronic cigarette shell. When the shell moves to the platform, the displacement of the shell caused by inertia is eliminated by electrostatic adsorption, so as to achieve precise positioning. At the same time, the static electricity on the shell can be eliminated during the adsorption process, and part of the air is transported to the air outlet plate through the delivery pipe connected to the first connecting pipe, and the gas is blown out at a lower speed to blow away the dust remaining on the shell after the static electricity is eliminated, which not only ensures the positioning accuracy of the shell, but also improves the cleanliness of the product, avoids the adverse effects of static electricity and dust on subsequent assembly steps, and helps to improve product quality.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0033] The present application is further described in detail below through drawings and examples.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 8 The embodiment of the present application provides a feeding device for assembling an electronic cigarette shell, comprising a bottom plate 1 and a vibrating material tray 6, an energy storage component 2 is arranged between the vibrating material tray 6 and the bottom plate 1, an auxiliary component 5 is arranged at the bottom of the vibrating material tray 6, an arrangement component 3 is arranged at the top of the vibrating material tray 6, a positioning component 4 is arranged at the top of the bottom plate 1, the energy storage component 2 comprises a bottom plate 21, the bottom plate 21 is fixedly mounted on the top of the bottom plate 1, a first spring telescopic rod 22 is fixedly mounted between the bottom plate 21 and the bottom of the vibrating material tray 6, and the top of the bottom plate 21 A vacuum cylinder 23 and an energy storage cylinder 24 are fixedly installed, a vertical rod 29 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vibrating material tray 6, a first piston plate 28 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vertical rod 29, the first piston plate 28 is slidably connected inside the vacuum cylinder 23, a first connecting pipe 25 is fixedly installed between the energy storage cylinder 24 and the vacuum cylinder 23, a first one-way valve 26 and a second one-way valve 27 are fixedly installed at the connection between the first connecting pipe 25 and the vacuum cylinder 23 and the energy storage cylinder 24, respectively, and a third one-way valve 210 is fixedly installed inside the first piston plate 28.

[0035] The communication direction of the first one-way valve 26 is from the inside of the vacuum cylinder 23 to the inside of the first connecting pipe 25. The first one-way valve 26 is located below the first piston plate 28. The communication direction of the third one-way valve 210 is from the top to the bottom of the third one-way valve 210. The communication direction of the second one-way valve 27 is from the inside of the first connecting pipe 25 to the inside of the energy storage cylinder 24. A gas pressure sensor is fixedly installed inside the energy storage cylinder 24. The auxiliary component 5 includes an intake pipe 57, which is fixedly installed on the outside of the energy storage cylinder 24. An electronic pressure relief valve 56 is fixedly installed at the connection between the intake pipe 57 and the energy storage cylinder 24. The electronic pressure relief valve 56 is electrically connected to the gas pressure sensor through a controller.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the electronic cigarette shell is being loaded, the electronic cigarette shell is placed inside the vibrating tray 6, and the vibrating tray 6 is driven to vibrate by the vibration motor inside the vibrating tray 6, and the vibrating tray 6 is vibrated up and down under the action of the first spring telescopic rod 22. During the vibration, the electronic cigarette shell is gradually moved up and down along the spiral track inside the vibrating tray 6 by the vibration force to feed the material, and in the feeding process, the vertical rod 29 and the first piston plate 28 are driven to reciprocate up and down by the up and down movement of the vibrating tray 6. The first piston plate 28 moves upward and can absorb air from the outside through the third one-way valve 210, and when the first piston plate 28 moves downward, the air can be sucked from the outside through the third one-way valve 210. When the engine is moving, the inhaled air is transported to the interior of the energy storage cylinder 24 through the second one-way valve 27, the first one-way valve 26 and the first connecting pipe 25, and the second one-way valve 27 can ensure that the gas entering the energy storage cylinder 24 will not overflow in the opposite direction, so that the amount of gas entering the energy storage cylinder 24 can be gradually increased and the internal pressure can be increased. The internal pressure is detected by the pressure sensor inside the energy storage cylinder 24. When it is detected that the pressure reaches a certain level, the electronic pressure relief valve 56 will be opened by the controller, so that the high-pressure gas inside the energy storage cylinder 24 is discharged to the outside through the intake pipe 57, so that the stored gas is released once through the intake pipe 57 at regular intervals.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In one aspect of the present embodiment, the auxiliary component 5 also includes a rotating rod 51, which is rotatably connected to the inner bottom of the vibrating material tray 6, and a lever 52 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating rod 51, and the lever 52 is located at the inner bottom of the vibrating material tray 6. A connecting rod 55 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the vibrating material tray 6, and an external box 53 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting rod 55. A motor 54 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the external box 53, and the bottom of the rotating rod 51 movably passes through the interior of the external box 53 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 54.

[0038] An impeller 58 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the rotating rod 51 . The air inlet pipe 57 is fixedly connected to the outer box 53 . The air inlet pipe 57 is communicated with the inside of the outer box 53 .

[0039] In this embodiment, the controller is electrically connected to the motor 54. When the electronic pressure relief valve 56 releases pressure, the motor 54 is started synchronously. When the motor 54 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 51 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 51 can drive the lever 52 on the upper outer side to rotate. When the lever 52 initially rotates, since the electronic cigarette shells are piled up above the lever 52, when the lever 51 rotates, the gas discharged through the air inlet pipe 57 enters the interior of the external box 53 and blows to the impeller 58 inside. By applying a driving force to the impeller 58 and acting on the rotating rod 51, an auxiliary force is added when the motor 54 is started, so that the lever 52 located at the bottom of the electronic cigarette shell can be better rotated by the motor 54, and the effect of gas-assisted starting of the motor 54 is achieved. In addition, the lever 52 rotates once at a certain interval. The electronic cigarette shells piled up at the bottom are easily interlocked with each other under a period of up and down vibration. The interlocked electronic cigarette shells can be broken up by horizontal stirring once every period of time, thereby ensuring the conveying effect of the electronic cigarette shells through the vibrating material tray 6.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In one aspect of the present embodiment, the arrangement assembly 3 includes a guide bucket 34, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the vibrating material tray 6 and connected to the top of the spiral track inside the vibrating material tray 6. A gathering plate 31 is hinged on the side of the guide bucket 34, and a second spring telescopic rod 32 is hinged between the gathering plate 31 and the outer wall of the guide bucket 34. A support plate 35 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the vibrating material tray 6, and a processing cylinder 36 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support plate 35. The inside of the processing cylinder 36 is slidably connected to the second piston plate 310, and a push rod 37 is fixedly mounted on the side of the second piston plate 310. A push plate 33 is fixedly mounted on the end face of the push rod 37. The push plate 33 is located between the guide bucket 34 and the outer wall of the vibrating material tray 6 and located on the outer side of the gathering plate 31. A second connecting pipe 39 is fixedly installed between the processing cylinder 36 and the external box 53, and the second connecting pipe 39 connects the external box 53 and the inside of the processing cylinder 36. A return spring 311 is fixedly installed between the second piston plate 310 and the inner wall of the processing cylinder 36. A mechanical pressure relief valve 38 is fixedly installed on the top of the processing cylinder 36.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the electronic cigarette shell is transported to the guide bucket 34 through the vibrating material tray 6, the transported electronic cigarette shell is gathered by the gathering plate 31 to ensure that the electronic cigarette shell entering the guide bucket 34 through the gathering plate 31 is in a neat state. The width of the guide bucket 34 is slightly larger than the width of the electronic cigarette shell. Under the action of the vibration force, only the electronic cigarette shell facing the correct direction can enter the guide bucket 34. The moving speed of the electronic cigarette at this position is significantly lower than the moving speed of the rest of the parts. When the gas after energy storage is released at intervals, the gas enters the outer box 53 and blows the impeller 58 to rotate, and then is discharged through the second connecting pipe 39. The gas after being discharged enters the processing cylinder 36 through the second connecting pipe 39 and pushes the second piston plate 310 to move. The movement of the second piston plate 310 can push the push rod 37 and the push plate 33 to move. The push plate 33 pushes the electronic cigarette shells accumulated at the push plate 33 and the gathering plate 31 to the inside of the vibration tray 6. Under the action of squeezing, the gathering plate 31 swings, and the second spring telescopic rod 32 contracts. The accumulated electronic cigarette shells are pushed to the bottom of the vibration tray 6 through the push plate 33. In this way, the electronic cigarette shells at the guide bucket 34 can be cleaned once every period of time, thereby reducing the probability of the electronic cigarette shells being accumulated and stuck here;

[0042] The excess gas entering the processing cylinder 36 will increase the internal pressure. When the pressure is high, the excess gas will be discharged through the mechanical pressure relief valve 38. When the gas is completely discharged, the push plate 33 and the gathering plate 31 will be reset under the action of the reset spring 311 and the second spring telescopic rod 32, and the electronic cigarette shell can be re-positioned.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In one aspect of the present embodiment, a bracket 7 is fixedly mounted on the top of the bottom plate 1, a conveyor belt 8 is fixedly mounted on the top of the bracket 7, and limit plates 9 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the conveyor belt 8. The limit plates 9 are aligned with both sides of the guide bucket 34. The positioning assembly 4 includes a support rod 41, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the bottom plate 1. A platform 42 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support rod 41. The platform 42 is located outside the conveyor belt 8, and the top of the platform 42 is flush with the top of the conveyor belt 8. An electrode plate 43 is fixedly mounted inside the platform 42, a connecting frame 45 is fixedly mounted on the side of the platform 42, and an outlet plate 44 is fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting frame 45. The outlet plate 44 is located obliquely above the platform 42. A conveying pipe 46 is fixedly mounted between the outlet plate 44 and the first connecting pipe 25, and the conveying pipe 46 connects the outlet plate 44 and the inside of the first connecting pipe 25.

[0044] In this embodiment, the electronic cigarette shells are vibrated and conveyed by the guide bucket 34 and then moved one by one onto the conveyor belt 8. The electronic cigarette shells are further limited by the limit plate 9 on the conveyor belt 8. When the electronic cigarette shells vibrate and rub against each other, more static electricity will be generated on the surface. By passing static electricity opposite to the static electricity on the electrode plate 43, when the electronic cigarette shells are moved to the platform 42 via the conveyor belt 8, the electronic cigarette shells with static electricity are adsorbed by the electrode plate 43. The adsorption of the electronic cigarette shells by the electrode plate 43 can ensure that the inertia generated when the electronic cigarette shells leave the conveyor belt 8 can be quickly eliminated, thereby ensuring that the electronic cigarette shells are positioned on the electrode plate 43, and the adsorption and positioning of the electronic cigarette shells is achieved by the static electricity generated by the shells.

[0045] When static electricity is generated, the electronic cigarette shell will absorb dust in the air. When the electronic cigarette shell is absorbed by the electrode plate 43, the static electricity on the electronic cigarette shell will be eliminated. When the first piston plate 28 moves up and down to transport air to the inside of the first connecting tube 25, part of the air will enter the inside of the air outlet plate 44 through the smaller diameter delivery pipe 46. The part of the gas will be blown out at a lower speed through the air outlet plate 44. The gas can blow away the dust remaining on the electronic cigarette shell after the static electricity is eliminated, and will not blow the entire electronic cigarette shell. By cleaning the dust absorbed by static electricity, it is ensured that the electronic cigarette shell will not affect the quality of the product when it is assembled in the next step.

[0046] The electronic cigarette shells sent onto the platform 42 are picked up one by one by an external manipulator and processed in the next step.

[0047] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0048] Working principle: When the electronic cigarette shell is being loaded, the electronic cigarette shell is placed inside the vibrating tray 6, and the vibrating tray 6 is driven to vibrate by the vibration motor inside the vibrating tray 6, and the vibrating tray 6 is vibrated up and down under the action of the first spring telescopic rod 22. During the vibration, the electronic cigarette shell is gradually moved up and down along the spiral track inside the vibrating tray 6 by the vibration force to feed the material, and in the feeding process, the vertical rod 29 and the first piston plate 28 are driven to reciprocate up and down by the up and down movement of the vibrating tray 6. The first piston plate 28 moves upward to absorb air from the outside through the third one-way valve 210, and when the first piston plate 28 moves downward, the air is sucked in. When the cylinder 24 is in motion, the inhaled air is transported to the inside of the energy storage cylinder 24 through the second one-way valve 27, the first one-way valve 26 and the first connecting pipe 25, and the second one-way valve 27 can ensure that the gas entering the inside of the energy storage cylinder 24 will not overflow in the opposite direction, so that the amount of gas entering the inside of the energy storage cylinder 24 can be gradually increased and the internal pressure can be increased. The internal pressure is detected by the pressure sensor inside the energy storage cylinder 24. When it is detected that the pressure reaches a certain level, the electronic pressure relief valve 56 is opened by the controller, so that the high-pressure gas inside the energy storage cylinder 24 is discharged to the outside through the intake pipe 57, so that the stored gas is released once through the intake pipe 57 at regular intervals.

[0049] The controller is electrically connected to the motor 54. When the electronic pressure relief valve 56 releases pressure, the motor 54 is started synchronously. When the motor 54 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 51 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 51 can drive the lever 52 on the upper outer side to rotate. When the lever 52 initially rotates, since the electronic cigarette shells are piled up above the lever 52, when the lever 51 rotates, the gas discharged through the air inlet pipe 57 enters the interior of the external box 53 and blows to the impeller 58 inside. By applying a driving force to the impeller 58 and acting on the rotating rod 51, an auxiliary force is added when the motor 54 is started, so that the lever 52 located at the bottom of the electronic cigarette shell can be better rotated by the motor 54, and the effect of gas-assisted motor 54 starting is achieved. In addition, the lever 52 rotates once at a certain time. The electronic cigarette shells piled up at the bottom are easily interlocked with each other under a period of up and down vibration. The interlocked electronic cigarette shells can be broken up by horizontal stirring once every period of time, thereby ensuring the conveying effect of the electronic cigarette shells through the vibrating material tray 6.

[0050] When the electronic cigarette shell is transported to the guide bucket 34 through the vibrating material tray 6, the transported electronic cigarette shell is gathered by the gathering plate 31 to ensure that the electronic cigarette shells entering the guide bucket 34 through the gathering plate 31 are in a neat state. The width of the guide bucket 34 is slightly larger than the width of the electronic cigarette shell. Under the action of the vibration force, only the electronic cigarette shell facing the right direction can enter the guide bucket 34. The moving speed of the electronic cigarette at this position is significantly lower than the moving speed of the other parts. When the gas after energy storage is released at intervals, the gas enters the outer box 53 and blows the impeller 58 to rotate, and then is discharged through the second connecting pipe 39. The gas enters the processing cylinder 36 through the second connecting pipe 39 and pushes the second piston plate 310 to move. The movement of the second piston plate 310 can push the push rod 37 and the push plate 33 to move. The push plate 33 pushes the electronic cigarette shells accumulated at the push plate 33 and the gathering plate 31 to the inside of the vibrating material tray 6. Under the action of squeezing, the gathering plate 31 swings, and the second spring telescopic rod 32 contracts. The accumulated electronic cigarette shells are pushed to the bottom of the vibrating material tray 6 through the push plate 33. In this way, the electronic cigarette shells at the guide bucket 34 can be cleaned once every period of time, thereby reducing the probability of the electronic cigarette shells being accumulated and stuck here;

[0051] The excess gas entering the processing cylinder 36 will increase the internal pressure. When the pressure is high, the excess gas will be discharged through the mechanical pressure relief valve 38. When the gas is completely discharged, the push plate 33 and the gathering plate 31 will be reset under the action of the reset spring 311 and the second spring telescopic rod 32, and the electronic cigarette shell can be gathered and positioned again;

[0052] After the electronic cigarette shells are vibrated and conveyed by the guide bucket 34, they will be moved one by one onto the conveyor belt 8. The electronic cigarette shells will continue to be limited by the limit plate 9 on the conveyor belt 8. When the electronic cigarette shells vibrate and rub against each other, more static electricity will be generated on the surface. By passing static electricity opposite to the static electricity on the electrode plate 43, when the electronic cigarette shells are moved to the platform 42 through the conveyor belt 8, the electronic cigarette shells with static electricity are adsorbed by the electrode plate 43. The adsorption of the electronic cigarette shells by the electrode plate 43 can ensure that the inertia generated by the electronic cigarette shells when leaving the conveyor belt 8 can be quickly eliminated, thereby ensuring that the electronic cigarette shells are positioned on the electrode plate 43, and the adsorption and positioning of the electronic cigarette shells is achieved through the static electricity generated by the shells;

[0053] When static electricity is generated, the electronic cigarette shell will absorb dust in the air. When the electronic cigarette shell is absorbed by the electrode plate 43, the static electricity on the electronic cigarette shell will be eliminated. When the first piston plate 28 moves up and down to transport air to the inside of the first connecting tube 25, part of the air will enter the inside of the air outlet plate 44 through the smaller diameter delivery pipe 46. The part of the gas will be blown out at a lower speed through the air outlet plate 44. The gas can blow away the dust remaining on the electronic cigarette shell after the static electricity is eliminated, and will not blow the entire electronic cigarette shell. By cleaning the dust absorbed by static electricity, it is ensured that the electronic cigarette shell will not affect the quality of the product when it is assembled in the next step.

[0054] The electronic cigarette shells sent onto the platform 42 are picked up one by one by an external manipulator and processed in the next step.
