Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an electronic cigarette, and more particularly to an assembly method for ensuring that the e-liquid cup and the base face the same direction. Background Art

[0002] Existing processing methods generally consist of many parts. Multiple parts are combined into components, or components of multiple parts are combined into products.

[0003] Please refer to Figure 11 . In the figure is an existing e-liquid cup of an electronic cigarette. The e-liquid cup is composed of an e-liquid cup 3' and a base 4'. The e-liquid cup 3' and the base 4' are assembled together through a screw thread and a screw hole. The position of a through hole 32' of the e-liquid cup 3' needs to correspond to the position of an assembly part 42' of the base 4' to maintain the assembly accuracy of the e-liquid cup. However, during the existing processing, the starting position of the thread cannot be positioned when using a tapping machine and a threading machine. When assembling the e-liquid cup 3' and the base 4', the relative positions of the through hole 32' and the assembly part 42' are random, thereby affecting the yield rate of the e-liquid cup.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an assembly method for ensuring that the e-liquid cup and the base face the same direction. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an assembly method for the e-liquid cup and the base of an electronic cigarette to address the defects and deficiencies existing in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention discloses an assembly method for the e-liquid cup and the base of an electronic cigarette, including the following steps: S101: Assemble a first threaded post of a first jig and a first threaded hole of a second jig, and lock the first threaded post and the first threaded hole; S102: Machine a reference plane on the surface of the first jig and the surface of the second jig; S103: Assemble a base and the first jig, lock a second threaded hole of the base and the first threaded post of the first jig; assemble an e-liquid cup and the second jig, lock a second threaded post of the e-liquid cup and the first threaded hole of the second jig; S104: Machine a through hole on the surface of the e-liquid cup through the reference plane of the second jig, so that the through hole corresponds to the reference plane of the second jig, and machine a screw base on the surface of the base through the reference plane of the first jig, so that the screw base corresponds to the reference plane of the first jig; and S105: Disassemble the second jig and the e-liquid cup, disassemble the first jig and the base, assemble the e-liquid cup and the base, and lock the second threaded post of the e-liquid cup and the second threaded hole of the base.

[0007] As a further improvement, step S102 includes the following steps: S201: Machine the reference plane on the surface of the first fixture, and assemble the first fixture to the second fixture that does not have the reference plane; machine the reference plane on the surface of the second fixture, and assemble the second fixture to the first fixture that does not have the reference plane; and S202: Machine the reference plane on the surface of the second fixture that does not have the reference plane, so that the reference plane of the first fixture and the reference plane of the second fixture are coplanar; machine the reference plane on the surface of the first fixture that does not have the reference plane, so that the reference plane of the first fixture and the reference plane of the second fixture are coplanar.

[0008] As described above, the assembly method of the e-liquid cup and the base of the electronic cigarette of the present invention indirectly makes the position of the through hole correspond to the screw base by the position of the through hole of the e-liquid cup relative to the reference plane of the first fixture and the screw base of the base relative to the reference plane of the second fixture. When the e-liquid cup and the base are combined, the through hole and the screw base face the same direction. Description of the Drawings

[0022] To illustrate in detail the technical content, structural features, achieved objectives and effects of the assembly method of the e-cigarette oil cup and the base of the present invention, the following examples are cited and described in detail with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , the present invention is an assembly method for an e-cigarette oil cup and a base, which can ensure that the e-cigarette oil cup and the base are kept in the same direction. In this embodiment, an assembly method for an e-cigarette oil cup and a base of the present invention is executed by two jigs respectively cooperating with an e-cigarette oil cup 3 and a base 4. The two jigs are a first jig 1 and a second jig 2 respectively. One end of the first jig 1 is provided with a first threaded post 11 extending outward. One end of the second jig 2 is provided with a first threaded hole 21 recessed inward. The e-cigarette oil cup 3 is provided with a second threaded post 31 extending outward, and the base 4 is provided with a second threaded hole 41 recessed inward. The e-cigarette oil cup 3 is assembled through the second jig 2, and the base 4 is assembled through the first jig 1. In this embodiment, the thread diameters, pitches and thread lengths of the first threaded post 11, the first threaded hole 21, the second threaded post 31 and the second threaded hole 41 are the same.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a flowchart of the assembly method for the e-cigarette oil cup 3 and the base 4, including the following steps: Step S101: Assemble the first threaded post 11 of the first jig 1 and the first threaded hole 21 of the second jig 2, and lock the first jig 1 and the second jig 2.

[0025] Step S102: Machine a reference plane 101 on the surface of the first jig 1 and the surface of the second jig 2.

[0026] Step S103: Assemble the base 4 and the first fixture 1. More specifically, lock the second threaded hole 41 of the base 4 and the first threaded post 11 of the first fixture 1. Assemble the e-liquid cup 3 and the second fixture 2. More specifically, lock the second threaded post 31 of the e-liquid cup 3 and the first threaded hole 21 of the second fixture 2.

[0027] Step S104: Process a through hole 32 on the surface of the e-liquid cup 3 through the reference plane 101 of the second fixture 2, such that the through hole 32 corresponds to the reference plane 101 of the second fixture 2. Process a screw base 42 on the surface of the base 4 through the reference plane 101 of the first fixture 1, such that the screw base 42 corresponds to the reference plane 101 of the first fixture 1.

[0028] Step S105: Disassemble the second fixture 2 and the e-liquid cup 3, disassemble the first fixture 1 and the base 4, and then assemble the e-liquid cup 3 and the base 4. More specifically, lock the second threaded post 31 of the e-liquid cup 3 and the second threaded hole 41 of the base 4, such that the screw base 42 and the through hole 32 face the same direction.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 10 , and the following steps are further included in step S102: Step S201: Process the reference plane 101 on the surface of the first fixture 1, and assemble the first fixture 1 to a second fixture 2 that does not have the reference plane 101. Process the reference plane 101 on the surface of the second fixture 2, and assemble the second fixture 2 to a first fixture 1 that does not have the reference plane 101.

[0030] Step S202: Process the reference plane 101 on the surface of the second fixture 2 that does not have the reference plane 101, such that the reference plane 101 of the first fixture 1 and the reference plane 101 of the second fixture 2 are coplanar. Process the reference plane 101 on the surface of the first fixture 1 that does not have the reference plane 101, such that the reference plane 101 of the first fixture 1 and the reference plane 101 of the second fixture 2 are coplanar.

[0031] Repeatedly perform step S201 and step S202 in this way, and several first fixtures 1 and several second fixtures 2 can be manufactured. The fixtures can be replaced when damaged and the consistency of the fixtures can be ensured during mass production.

[0032] The positions of the through holes 32 of the e-liquid cup 3 and the screw bases 42 of the base 4 both correspond to the reference plane 101. Therefore, after locking the e-liquid cup 3 and the base 4, the through holes 32 can correspond to the screw bases 42, so as to improve the assembly accuracy.

[0033] In specific implementation, the shapes of the through holes 32 and the screw bases 42 can also be changed to other shapes. Any structure with a shape that needs to ensure the direction consistency in screw thread connection can replace the through holes 32 and the screw bases 42.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the base 4 is arranged on the upper surface of the e-liquid cup 3. In this embodiment, the e-liquid cup 3 is further provided with a first main body portion 30. The top surface of the first main body portion 30 extends upward to form the second threaded post 31. The first main body portion 30 is provided with the through hole 32 that penetrates the inner and outer surfaces of the first main body portion 30.

[0035] The base 4 is further provided with a second main body portion 40 and two locking heads 43. The bottom of the second main body portion 40 is recessed inward to form the second threaded hole 41. The top of the second main body portion 40 extends outward to form two locking heads 43, and the two locking heads 43 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the screw base 42. The locking heads 43 make it easy to lock the base 4 to the e-liquid cup 3.

[0036] As described above, the assembly method of the e-liquid cup and the base of the present invention indirectly makes the position of the through hole 32 correspond to the screw base 42 by the position of the through hole 32 of the e-liquid cup 3 relative to the reference plane 101 of the first jig 1 and the screw base 42 of the base 4 relative to the reference plane 101 of the second jig 2. When the e-liquid cup 3 and the base 4 are combined, the through hole 32 and the screw base 42 face the same direction.
