Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated processing technology, and in particular to a multi-station processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic cigarettes are handheld electronic devices that produce inhalable vapor. The casing requires adhesive during installation before being assembled with other components. Current technology typically involves manually moving carriers with the casings mounted on them between multiple workstations for sequential processing. However, manual handling limits processing to a single workstation, hindering simultaneous processing across multiple stations. This results in low efficiency, inconvenient carrier mounting and dismounting, poor clamping stability, and an inability to independently and flexibly position each workpiece, making them prone to displacement due to rotation. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0017] 1. The multi-station processing device of the present invention comprises several support bases equally spaced along the circumference of a rotating disk. The center of the lower surface of the rotating disk is connected to the output shaft of a drive mechanism, which drives the rotating disk to rotate at equal angles in the circumferential direction.

[0029] The present patent can be further understood through the specific embodiments given below, but they are not intended to limit the present patent.

[0030] Example 1: A multi-station machining apparatus for machining a workpiece 100. The carrier on which the workpiece 100 is mounted includes: a vertically arranged base plate 1 and several carrier blocks 2 mounted on one side surface of the base plate 1. The workpiece 100 is fitted onto the outside of the carrier blocks 2. The apparatus includes: a rotating disk 26 and at least three support seats 11 mounted on the edge of the upper surface of the rotating disk 26. The several support seats 11 are equally spaced along the circumference of the rotating disk 26. The center of the lower surface of the rotating disk 26 is connected to the output shaft of a drive mechanism 27. This drive mechanism 27 is used to drive the rotating disk 26 to rotate at equal angles in the circumferential direction. The base plate 111 of the support base 11 is mounted on the upper surface of the rotating disk 26. A horizontally arranged carrier plate 12 is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 111 and inside the vertical support plate 112 of the support base 11. At least two slide rails 131 parallel to the radial direction of the rotating disk 26 are mounted on the upper surface of the carrier plate 12. A clearance through hole 14 for the workpiece 100 to pass through is opened on the vertical support plate 112 of the support base 11. One end of the slide rail 131 passes through the clearance through hole 14 and a pad 151 is installed. A mounting groove 152 for the pad 151 to be embedded is opened on the lower surface of the base plate 1 of the carrier.

[0031] A horizontally extending strip support plate 18 is installed at the other end of the slide rail 131 and can move with the slide rail 131. Several mounting seats 19 corresponding to the carrier blocks 2 on the upper surface of the strip support plate 18 are installed. A receiving groove 22 is formed on the end face of each mounting seat 19 facing one end of the vertical support plate 112. One end of a movable block 23 is embedded in this receiving groove 22. A pressing head 20 that cooperates with the workpiece 100 is installed at the other end of the movable block 23. A first spring 24 in a pressing state is provided between one end of the movable block 23 and the bottom of the receiving groove 22. A second spring 21 is installed on each end face of the support plate 18. The other end of the second spring 21 is connected to the support plate 18 at one end and connected to the support base 11 at the other end. At least one spinning cylinder 16 is installed on the vertical support plate 112 of the support base 11. The rotating part 162 of the spinning cylinder 16, which is mounted on the inner surface of the vertical support plate 112, is located outside the vertical support plate 112. When the spinning cylinder 16 is in the pressing state, its rotating part 162 is in pressing contact with the base plate 1 of the carrier on the side opposite to the carrier block 2, and the extrusion head 20 is in extrusion contact with the workpiece 100 on the carrier.

[0032] When the spinning cylinder is in the non-pressing state, the carrier is mounted on the pad at the front end of the slide rail and the pad matches the mounting groove to achieve the initial positioning of the carrier as a whole. At the same time, the carrier is pushed to move along the length of the slide rail towards the strip support plate until the outer surface of each workpiece to be processed is in contact with the corresponding extrusion head. Then, the carrier is pushed to continue moving until the surface of the side with the workpiece to be processed is in contact with the vertical support plate of the support base. During this process, each extrusion head mounted on the strip support plate generates an elastic pressure on the workpiece to be processed in the opposite direction of the carrier's movement under the action of the second spring. At the same time, each extrusion head generates another pressing force on the workpiece to be processed under the action of the corresponding first spring.

[0033] When the spinning cylinder 16 is in a non-pressed state, the rotating part 162 of the spinning cylinder 16 is located parallel to the outside of the base plate 1 of the carrier.

[0034] A plurality of rotating blocks 3 corresponding one-to-one with the carrier block 2 are provided on the upper part of the substrate 1. The end of the rotating block 3 away from the carrier block 2 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the substrate 1. A protrusion 4 is provided on the upper surface of the other end of the rotating block 3. The inner side of the workpiece 100, which is vertically mounted on the outside of the carrier block 2, has a groove 101 into which the protrusion 4 can be inserted. The lower surface of the rotating block 3 and the upper surface of the substrate 1 are connected by at least one vertically arranged spring 5 in a compressed state.

[0035] Each carrier block can be fitted with an electronic cigarette shell on its outer side, and it can be positioned and fixed from the inside of the electronic cigarette shell, which facilitates the comprehensive processing of the outside of the electronic cigarette shell and will not cause damage to its surface due to clamping.

[0036] When installing the electronic cigarette case, first apply a downward pressure to the holding part on the rotating block, so that the protrusion on the rotating block rotates downward to the lowest position. Then move the vertically placed electronic cigarette case towards the carrier block and make the positioning pin match and fit into the positioning hole one by one, and make the outer contour surface of the carrier block fit against the inner wall of the electronic cigarette case.

[0037] Then the pressure acting on the holding part is released, and the rotating block rotates upward under the action of the spring until the protrusion is embedded in the groove on the electronic cigarette shell and applies an upward thrust to the electronic cigarette shell. At the same time, with the cooperation of the positioning post and the positioning hole, the electronic cigarette shell will not move upward, thus achieving stable clamping of the electronic cigarette shell.

[0038] A rotating shaft 6 is installed at the end of the rotating block 3 away from the carrier block 2. The two ends of the rotating shaft 6, which are rotatably engaged with the rotating block 3, extend outward from the two side surfaces of the rotating block 3 and are installed on the base plate 1.

[0039] The upper surface of the substrate 1 is provided with a protrusion 7, and the protrusion 7 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 71 for the rotating block 3 to be inserted at the end away from the carrier block 2. The protrusion 7 is provided with assembly grooves 72 on both sides of the mounting grooves 71 for the two ends of the rotating shaft 6 to be inserted.

[0040] The lower surface of the aforementioned rotating block 3 is an inclined plane, and the inclined plane gradually increases in height in the direction close to the carrier block 2.

[0041] The rotating block 3 has a horizontally outwardly extending pressing part 31 on the middle of one side surface. When installing or removing the electronic cigarette shell, the pressing part presses the rotating block downward, so that the protrusion on it rotates to a low position with the rotating block, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the electronic cigarette shell.

[0042] Two springs 5 ​​are provided at intervals between the lower surface of the rotating block 3 and the upper surface of the substrate 1.

[0043] Each of the lower surface of the rotating block 3 and the upper surface of the substrate 1 has a limiting groove 8 for one end of the spring 5 to be inserted.

[0044] A strip-shaped hole 251 extending back and forth is provided on the upper and lower side walls of the aforementioned receiving groove 22. The end of a limiting pin 252 that passes vertically through the movable block 23 is embedded in the strip-shaped hole 251 and slides in cooperation with the inner wall of the strip-shaped hole 251.

[0045] A reinforcing plate 113 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 111 and on both sides of the clearance hole 14. The reinforcing plates 113, which are set as right-angled triangles, are respectively connected to the rear surface of the base plate 111 and the vertical support plate 112.

[0046] The front end of the second spring 21 is connected to a first pin 211 mounted on a reinforcing plate 113, and the rear end of the second spring 21 is connected to a second pin 212 mounted on the end faces of both ends of the strip support plate 18. One end of each of the parallel first pin 211 and second pin 212 is connected to the second spring 21, and the other end of each is mounted on the strip support plate 18.

[0047] The extrusion head 20 mentioned above is a silicone extrusion head.

[0048] Each of the slide rails 131 is mounted on the upper surface of the carrier plate 12 by at least two sliders 132.

[0049] A stop block 133 is installed at the rear end of the slide rail 131, and the lower surface of the stop block 133 is lower than the upper surface of the carrier plate 12.

[0050] The two spaced-apart spinning cylinders 16 are respectively installed at the two corners on the upper part of the vertical support plate 112.

[0051] When in a non-pressed state, the rotating part 162 of the spinning cylinder 16 is located parallel to both sides above the base plate 1 of the carrier.

[0052] Example 2: A multi-station machining apparatus for machining a workpiece 100. The carrier on which the workpiece 100 is mounted includes: a vertically arranged base plate 1 and several carrier blocks 2 mounted on one side surface of the base plate 1. The workpiece 100 is fitted onto the outside of the carrier blocks 2. The apparatus includes: a rotating disk 26 and at least three support seats 11 mounted on the edge of the upper surface of the rotating disk 26. The several support seats 11 are equally spaced along the circumference of the rotating disk 26. The center of the lower surface of the rotating disk 26 is connected to the output shaft of a drive mechanism 27. This drive mechanism 27 is used to drive the rotating disk 26 to rotate at equal angles in the circumferential direction. The base plate 111 of the support base 11 is mounted on the upper surface of the rotating disk 26. A horizontally arranged carrier plate 12 is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 111 and inside the vertical support plate 112 of the support base 11. At least two slide rails 131 parallel to the radial direction of the rotating disk 26 are mounted on the upper surface of the carrier plate 12. A clearance through hole 14 for the workpiece 100 to pass through is opened on the vertical support plate 112 of the support base 11. One end of the slide rail 131 passes through the clearance through hole 14 and a pad 151 is installed. A mounting groove 152 for the pad 151 to be embedded is opened on the lower surface of the base plate 1 of the carrier.

[0053] Next, the drive motor drives the turntable to rotate the carrier on which the workpiece to be processed is mounted. The rotation passes through multiple stations to process the workpiece simultaneously, thus enabling synchronous processing of multiple stations by switching between different stations and improving processing efficiency.

[0054] A horizontally extending strip support plate 18 is installed at the other end of the slide rail 131 and can move with the slide rail 131. Several mounting seats 19 corresponding to the carrier blocks 2 on the upper surface of the strip support plate 18 are installed. A receiving groove 22 is formed on the end face of each mounting seat 19 facing one end of the vertical support plate 112. One end of a movable block 23 is embedded in this receiving groove 22. A pressing head 20 that cooperates with the workpiece 100 is installed at the other end of the movable block 23. A first spring 24 in a pressing state is provided between one end of the movable block 23 and the bottom of the receiving groove 22. A second spring 21 is installed on each end face of the support plate 18. The other end of the second spring 21 is connected to the support plate 18 at one end and connected to the support base 11 at the other end. At least one spinning cylinder 16 is installed on the vertical support plate 112 of the support base 11. The rotating part 162 of the spinning cylinder 16, which is mounted on the inner surface of the vertical support plate 112, is located outside the vertical support plate 112. When the spinning cylinder 16 is in the pressing state, its rotating part 162 is in pressing contact with the base plate 1 of the carrier on the side opposite to the carrier block 2, and the extrusion head 20 is in extrusion contact with the workpiece 100 on the carrier.

[0055] After the carrier is mounted on the pad, the spinning cylinder is switched to the holding state, causing its rotating part to rotate 90° while retracting towards its main body, thereby pressing the carrier's base plate from the other side. This achieves stable holding of the carrier, and each workpiece to be processed on the carrier is located inside the vertical support plate facing the support base on its base plate and is subjected to double elastic holding force from the corresponding extrusion head. This effectively avoids external interference and improves stability. An independent and adaptively adjustable elastic extrusion force can be applied to each workpiece to be processed on the carrier from the opposite direction, thereby achieving independent and stable elastic positioning of each workpiece to be processed. This further improves the positional accuracy and stability of each workpiece to be processed during the processing, thereby improving processing accuracy without damaging the surface of the workpiece to be processed.

[0056] When the spinning cylinder 16 is in a non-pressed state, the rotating part 162 of the spinning cylinder 16 is located parallel to the outside of the base plate 1 of the carrier.

[0057] When disassembly is required, simply switch the spinning cylinder to the non-pressing state. Its rotating part will rotate 90° and extend away from its main body to move away from the base plate of the carrier, making it easy to remove the carrier from the pad. This facilitates the mounting and dismounting of the carrier loaded with the workpiece to be processed, and also enables stable clamping of the fixture to ensure the stability of the position and clamping state of each workpiece during processing.

[0058] A strip-shaped hole 251 extending back and forth is provided on the lower side wall of the aforementioned receiving groove 22. The end of a limiting pin 252 that passes vertically through the movable block 23 is embedded in the strip-shaped hole 251 and slides in cooperation with the inner wall of the strip-shaped hole 251.

[0059] A reinforcing plate 113 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 111 and on both sides of the clearance hole 14. The reinforcing plates 113, which are set as right-angled triangles, are respectively connected to the rear surface of the base plate 111 and the vertical support plate 112.

[0060] The front end of the second spring 21 is connected to a first pin 211 mounted on a reinforcing plate 113, and the rear end of the second spring 21 is connected to a second pin 212 mounted on the end faces of both ends of the strip support plate 18. One end of each of the parallel first pin 211 and second pin 212 is connected to the second spring 21, and the other end of each is mounted on the reinforcing plate 113.

[0061] Each of the slide rails 131 is mounted on the upper surface of the carrier plate 12 by at least two sliders 132.

[0062] The aforementioned extrusion head 20 is a rubber extrusion head.

[0063] The two spaced-apart spinning cylinders 16 are respectively installed at the two corners on the upper part of the vertical support plate 112.

[0064] The base plate 1 of the aforementioned carrier and the vertical support plate 112 of the support base 11 are connected by at least two sets of guide posts 171 and guide grooves 172.

[0065] The two guide grooves 172 are respectively opened at opposite corners of the carrier base plate 1.

[0066] The aforementioned mounting slot 152 is located between adjacent carrier blocks 2.

[0067] The aforementioned mounting groove 152 is a triangular groove, and the upper part of the pad 151 is set as a triangle to match the triangular groove.

[0068] The aforementioned carrier block 2 is also connected to the inner side of the workpiece 100 by at least two sets of positioning pins 91 and positioning holes 92.

[0069] A handle 10 is installed on each end face of the substrate 1, which facilitates manual or automated equipment to pick up and place the clamp without interfering with the clamped electronic cigarette shell product during the picking and placing process.

[0070] The four support bases 11 mentioned above are evenly spaced along the circumference of the rotating disk 26.

[0071] The aforementioned drive mechanism 27 includes a motor 28 and a reducer 29 located below the rotating disk 26 and connected in sequence.

[0072] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0073] Each carrier block can be fitted with an electronic cigarette shell on its outer side, and it can be positioned and fixed from the inside of the electronic cigarette shell, which facilitates the comprehensive processing of the outside of the electronic cigarette shell and will not cause damage to its surface due to clamping.

[0074] When installing the electronic cigarette case, first apply a downward pressure to the holding part on the rotating block, so that the protrusion on the rotating block rotates downward to the lowest position. Then move the vertically placed electronic cigarette case towards the carrier block and make the positioning pin match and fit into the positioning hole one by one, and make the outer contour surface of the carrier block fit against the inner wall of the electronic cigarette case.

[0075] Then the pressure acting on the holding part is released, and the rotating block rotates upward under the action of the spring until the protrusion is embedded in the groove on the electronic cigarette shell and applies an upward thrust to the electronic cigarette shell. At the same time, the electronic cigarette shell will not move upward with the cooperation of the positioning post and the positioning hole, thus achieving stable clamping of the electronic cigarette shell.

[0076] Next, when the spinning cylinder is in the non-pressing state, the carrier is hung on the pad at the front end of the slide rail and the pad is matched with the mounting groove to achieve the initial positioning of the carrier as a whole. At the same time, the carrier is pushed to move along the length of the slide rail towards the strip support plate until the outer surface of each workpiece to be processed is in contact with the corresponding extrusion head. Then, the carrier is pushed to continue moving until the surface of the side with the workpiece to be processed is in contact with the vertical support plate of the support seat. During this process, each extrusion head installed on the strip support plate generates an elastic pressure on the workpiece to be processed in the opposite direction of the carrier's movement under the action of the second spring. At the same time, each extrusion head generates another pressing force on the workpiece to be processed under the action of the corresponding first spring.

[0077] Then, the spinning cylinder is switched to the holding state, so that its rotating part rotates 90° while retracting towards its main body, thereby pressing the base plate of the carrier from the other side of the carrier. This achieves stable holding of the carrier, and each workpiece to be processed on the carrier is located inside the vertical support plate facing the support base on its base plate and is subjected to double elastic holding force from the corresponding extrusion head. This can effectively avoid external interference and improve stability. An independent and adaptively adjustable elastic extrusion force can be applied to each workpiece to be processed on the carrier from the opposite direction, thereby achieving independent and stable elastic positioning of each workpiece to be processed. This further improves the positional accuracy and stability of each workpiece to be processed during the processing, thereby improving processing accuracy without damaging the surface of the workpiece to be processed.

[0078] Next, the drive motor drives the turntable to rotate the carrier on which the workpiece to be processed is mounted. The rotation passes through multiple stations to process the workpiece simultaneously, thus enabling synchronous processing of multiple stations by switching between different stations and improving processing efficiency.

[0079] When disassembly is required, simply switch the spinning cylinder to the non-pressing state. Its rotating part will rotate 90° and extend away from its main body to move away from the base plate of the carrier, making it easy to remove the carrier from the pad. This facilitates the mounting and dismounting of the carrier loaded with the workpiece to be processed, and also enables stable clamping of the fixture to ensure the stability of the position and clamping state of each workpiece during processing.

[0080] The multi-station processing device of this invention can achieve synchronous processing of multiple stations and improve processing efficiency by cyclically switching between different stations through rotation. It also facilitates the mounting and dismounting of the workpiece-loaded carrier at a certain station and achieves stable clamping of the fixture. Furthermore, it can apply an independent and adaptively adjustable elastic compressive force to the workpiece on each carrier from the opposite direction, achieving independent and stable elastic positioning of each workpiece, avoiding workpiece position displacement caused by rotation, improving the positional accuracy and stability of each workpiece during processing, thereby improving processing accuracy without damaging the surface of the workpiece to be processed. In addition, it can achieve stable clamping of the workpiece from the inside to ensure the accuracy and stability of subsequent workpiece processing, and facilitates the installation and unloading of the workpiece.

They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
