Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated processing technology, and in particular to a highly efficient processing method for electronic cigarette casings. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic cigarettes are handheld electronic devices that produce inhalable vapor, typically similar to cigarettes, cigars, or pipes, and have a similar taste to traditional cigarettes. They are used as a substitute for traditional cigarettes. Electronic cigarette casings require adhesive to be applied during installation before being assembled with other components.
[0003] In existing technology, the processing of e-cigarette casings typically involves manually moving carriers with e-cigarette casings attached between multiple workstations. The e-cigarette casings are then processed sequentially at different workstations. However, manual handling can only move the casings to one workstation at a time, making simultaneous processing at multiple workstations impossible. Furthermore, it is inconvenient to mount and dismount the carriers, the clamping fixtures have poor stability, and the e-cigarette casings are prone to positional shifts during processing. This cannot guarantee the stability and consistency of the positional accuracy of each e-cigarette casing at each processing workstation, resulting in poor processing precision and easy damage to the surface of the e-cigarette casings. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an efficient processing method for electronic cigarette casings, which not only enables simultaneous processing of electronic cigarette casings at multiple workstations, improving processing efficiency, but also ensures the stability and consistency of positional accuracy of each electronic cigarette casing during processing at each workstation, improving processing precision without damaging the surface of the electronic cigarette casing.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an efficient processing method for electronic cigarette shells, based on a processing mechanism for processing electronic cigarette shells, wherein the carrier on which the electronic cigarette shell is mounted includes: a vertically arranged base plate and several carrier blocks mounted on one side surface of the base plate, the electronic cigarette shell being fitted onto the outside of the carrier blocks, the processing mechanism including: a rotating disk and at least 3 support seats mounted on the edge of the upper surface of the rotating disk, the several support seats being equally spaced along the circumference of the rotating disk, the center of the lower surface of the rotating disk being connected to the output shaft of a driving mechanism, the bottom base plate of the support seat being mounted on the upper surface of the rotating disk, a horizontally arranged carrier plate being mounted on the upper surface of the bottom base plate and located inside the vertical support plate of the support seat, at least 2 slide rails parallel to the radial direction of the rotating disk being mounted on the upper surface of the carrier plate, a clearance through hole being opened on the vertical support plate of the support seat, one end of the slide rail passing through the clearance through hole and a pad being mounted thereon; A horizontally extending strip support plate is installed at the other end of the slide rail and can move with the slide rail. Several mounting seats corresponding to the blocks on the carrier are installed on the upper surface of the strip support plate. An extrusion head that cooperates with the electronic cigarette shell is installed at the end of the mounting seat facing the vertical support plate. A telescopic spring is installed on the end face of each end of the strip support plate. The other end of the telescopic spring connected to the strip support plate is connected to the support seat. At least one spinning cylinder is installed on the vertical support plate. The rotating part of the spinning cylinder, whose main body is installed on the rear surface of the vertical support plate, is located on the front side of the vertical support plate. The processing method includes the following steps: Step 1: Install the electronic cigarette shell to be processed onto the carrier block of the carrier accordingly to obtain at least one carrier loaded with electronic cigarette shells; Step 2: Drive the rotating disk to rotate through the drive mechanism, and rotate one of the support seats on the upper surface of the rotating disk to the loading and unloading station. At this time, the remaining support seats are all located at the corresponding processing station. Step 3: At the loading and unloading station, first place the spinning cylinder in the non-pressing state, then hang the substrate of the carrier loaded with electronic cigarette shells onto the pad, so that the pad is embedded in the hanging groove opened on the lower surface of the substrate and the electronic cigarette shells face the corresponding extrusion head. At this time, the rotating part of the spinning cylinder is located parallel to the outside of the substrate of the carrier. Step 4: Push the substrate of the carrier until it is in contact with the vertical support plate of the support base. During this process, the electronic cigarette shell loaded on it passes through the clearance hole and each extrusion head makes extrusion contact with the corresponding electronic cigarette shell. Step 5: Switch the spinning cylinder to the holding state so that its rotating part is in pressing contact with the surface of the vertical support plate opposite to the base plate of the carrier. Step 6: Drive the turntable to rotate via the drive mechanism, rotate the support base with the carrier installed to the next processing station, and at the same time rotate the adjacent one to the loading and unloading station; Step 7: At the processing station, process the electronic cigarette shell on the carrier transferred to the support base, and at the same time, perform the carrier loading operation on the support base at the loading and unloading station as in Steps 3 to 5.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present patent can be further understood through the specific embodiments given below, but they are not intended to limit the present patent.
[0020] Example 1: A high-efficiency processing method for an electronic cigarette casing, based on a processing mechanism for processing an electronic cigarette casing 100. The carrier on which the electronic cigarette casing 100 is mounted includes: a vertically arranged base plate 1 and a plurality of carrier blocks 2 mounted on one side surface of the base plate 1. The electronic cigarette casing 100 is fitted onto the outside of the carrier blocks 2. The processing mechanism 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 plurality of support seats 11 are equally spaced along the circumference of the rotating disk 26. The middle of the lower surface of the rotating disk 26... The central part is connected to the output shaft of a drive mechanism 27. 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 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 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 block 2 on the upper surface of the strip support plate 18 are installed. An extrusion head 20 that cooperates with the electronic cigarette shell 100 is installed at one end of the mounting seat 19 facing the vertical support plate 112. A telescopic spring 21 is installed on the end face of each end of the strip support plate 18. The other end of the telescopic spring 21 connected to the strip support plate 18 is connected to the support seat 11. At least one spinning cylinder 16 is installed on the vertical support plate 112. The rotating part 162 of the spinning cylinder 16, which is mounted on the rear surface of the vertical support plate 112, is located on the front side of the vertical support plate 112. When the spinning cylinder is in the non-pressed 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, the extrusion head installed on the strip support plate applies an elastic pressure opposite to the direction of carrier movement to each corresponding workpiece under the action of the telescopic spring. Then switch the spinning cylinder 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, realizing stable holding of the carrier. Each workpiece to be processed on the carrier is located inside the vertical support plate facing the support base of its base plate and is subjected to elastic holding force from the corresponding extrusion head. This can effectively avoid external interference, improve stability, and ensure the stability and consistency of the positional accuracy of each workpiece to be processed during the processing, improving processing accuracy without damaging the surface of the workpiece to be processed. The processing method includes the following steps: Step 1: Install the electronic cigarette shell 100 to be processed onto the carrier block 2 of the carrier to obtain at least one carrier loaded with the electronic cigarette shell 100. Step 2: Drive the rotating disk 26 to rotate through the drive mechanism 27, and rotate one of the support seats 11 on the upper surface of the rotating disk 26 to the loading and unloading station. At this time, the remaining support seats 11 are all located at the corresponding processing station. Step 3: At the loading and unloading station, first place the spinning cylinder 16 in the non-pressing state, then hang the substrate 1 of the carrier loaded with electronic cigarette shells 100 onto the pad 151, so that the pad 151 is embedded in the hanging groove 152 opened on the lower surface of the substrate 1 and the electronic cigarette shells 100 face the corresponding extrusion head 20. At this time, the rotating part 162 of the spinning cylinder 16 is located parallel to the outside of the substrate 1 of the carrier. Step 4: Push the substrate 1 of the carrier until it is in contact with the vertical support plate 112 of the support base 11. During this process, the electronic cigarette shell 100 loaded on it passes through the clearance hole 14 and each extrusion head 20 makes extrusion contact with the corresponding electronic cigarette shell 100. Step 5: Switch the spinning cylinder 16 to the holding state, so that its rotating part 162 is in pressing contact with the surface of the vertical support plate 112 opposite to the base plate 1 of the carrier. Step 6: Drive the rotating disk 26 to rotate via the drive mechanism 27, rotate the support base 11 with the carrier installed to the next processing station, and at the same time rotate the adjacent one to the loading and unloading station; Step 7: At the processing station, the electronic cigarette shell 100 transferred on the carrier on the support base 11 is processed, and at the same time, the carrier loading operation is performed on the support base 11 at the loading and unloading station as in Steps 3 to 5.

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 electronic cigarette shell 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 is connected to the upper surface of the substrate 1 by at least one vertically arranged spring 5 in a compressed state. 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. 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. 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.
[0022] A rotating shaft 6 is installed at the end of the rotating block 3 away from the carrier block 2.

[0025] 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.
[0026] Two springs 5 are provided at intervals between the lower surface of the rotating block 3 and the upper surface of the substrate 1.
[0027] 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.
[0028] A strip-shaped hole 251 extending back and forth is provided on the upper 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.

[0033] 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.
[0034] The four support bases 11 mentioned above are evenly spaced along the circumference of the rotating disk 26.
[0035] The aforementioned drive mechanism 27 includes a motor 22 and a reducer 23 located below the rotating disk 26 and connected in sequence.
[0036] Example 2: A high-efficiency processing method for an electronic cigarette casing, based on a processing mechanism for processing an electronic cigarette casing 100. The carrier on which the electronic cigarette casing 100 is mounted includes: a vertically arranged base plate 1 and a plurality of carrier blocks 2 mounted on one side surface of the base plate 1. The electronic cigarette casing 100 is fitted onto the outside of the carrier blocks 2. The processing mechanism 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 plurality of support seats 11 are equally spaced along the circumference of the rotating disk 26. The middle of the lower surface of the rotating disk 26... The central part is connected to the output shaft of a drive mechanism 27. 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 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.

[0048] 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.
[0049] The working principle of this invention is as follows: 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. 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. 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. Next, when the spinning cylinder is in the non-pressed 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 base. During this process, the extrusion head installed on the strip support plate applies an elastic pressure opposite to the direction of carrier movement to each corresponding workpiece under the action of the telescopic spring. Then switch the spinning cylinder 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, realizing stable holding of the carrier. Each workpiece to be processed on the carrier is located inside the vertical support plate facing the support base of its base plate and is subjected to elastic holding force from the corresponding extrusion head. This can effectively avoid external interference, improve stability, and ensure the stability and consistency of the positional accuracy of each workpiece to be processed during the processing, improving processing accuracy without damaging the surface of the workpiece to be processed. 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. 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.
[0050] The efficient processing method for electronic cigarette casings using this invention allows for simultaneous processing of the casings at multiple stations through rotation, improving processing efficiency. It also facilitates the mounting and dismounting of workpiece-loaded carriers at loading and unloading stations, ensuring stable clamping. Furthermore, it provides elastic pressure on each carrier from the opposite direction, preventing positional shifts caused by rotation. This ensures stable and consistent positional accuracy for each casing at each processing station, improving processing precision without damaging the casing. The surface of the electronic cigarette casing; furthermore, several rotating blocks corresponding one-to-one with the carrier block are arranged above the substrate. The end of the rotating block away from the carrier block is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the substrate. A protrusion is provided on the upper surface of the other end of the rotating block. The inner side of the electronic cigarette casing, which is vertically mounted on the outside of the carrier block, has a groove into which the protrusion can be inserted. The lower surface of the rotating block and the upper surface of the substrate are connected by at least one vertically arranged and compressed spring. This can not only achieve stable clamping of the workpiece from the inside to ensure the accuracy and stability of subsequent workpiece processing, but also facilitate the installation and unloading of the electronic cigarette casing.
