Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of atomizer production equipment, in particular to a heating core shaping and positioning mechanism. Background Art

[0002] An electronic cigarette is an atomizer powered by a rechargeable lithium polymer battery. It produces "vapor" for users to inhale by heating the oil in the oil tank. It has a similar appearance, smoke, taste and feel to cigarettes. The electronic cigarette atomizer is an independent part of the electronic cigarette. It is a device for holding and heating the oil. The heating wire in the electronic cigarette atomizer generates heat energy when it is energized, heating the oil in the atomization tank to atomize it.

[0003] Electronic cigarettes generally include a tubular main body, a microphone, oil-absorbing cotton cloth, a heating wire, a fixing sleeve and a battery. The oil-absorbing cotton cloth needs to be rolled into a tubular structure, and the heating wire is wrapped in the oil-absorbing cotton cloth and then inserted into the fixing sleeve to fix the oil-absorbing cotton cloth and the heating wire.

[0004] The traditional production method is to roll the oil-absorbing cotton cloth into a tube, then wrap the electric heating wire mesh in the oil-absorbing cloth and put it into a fixed sleeve. It is mainly done manually and the workload is large. At present, the industry uses automated equipment for assembly. After the electric heating wire mesh and cotton cloth are rolled into a tube cone, the electric heating wire mesh is put into the cotton cloth, and then clamped and loaded into the fixed sleeve.

[0005] For example, a Chinese patent document with the announcement number CN216906868U discloses an automated device for feeding the cotton wrapping of the heating sheet of an electronic cigarette into a tube, which discloses a schematic diagram of the processing flow of a component contained in the electronic cigarette: take a cotton strip, then take a heating sheet, and stack the heating sheet on the cotton strip according to a predetermined position; then press the auxiliary rod, the heating sheet and the cotton strip into an assembly, push the assembly into an open tube, and cut off the excess cotton strip extending out of the open tube. At this point, these parts are assembled into a finished product. It includes: a sliver feeding component, a heating sheet feeding component, an auxiliary rod feeding and pressing component, a clamping mechanism, an open tube feeding component, a pushing tube component, and a shearing component; the sliver feeding component is used to convey the sliver to the clamping mechanism; the heating sheet feeding component is used to convey the heating sheet to the upper end surface of the sliver clamped and fixed by the clamping mechanism; the auxiliary rod feeding and pressing component is used to convey the auxiliary rod to the pressing station, and press the auxiliary rod, the heating sheet, and the sliver clamped and fixed by the clamping mechanism into a component; the open tube feeding component is used to convey the open tube to the clamping mechanism; the cotton pushing tube component is used to push the assembly into the open tube; and the shearing component is used to cut off the excess sliver extending out of the open tube.

[0006] Since the above-mentioned tampon is inserted into the open tube, and then the excess section of the tampon that does not cover the auxiliary rod is cut off, the above-mentioned open tube must be open so that the tampon can be inserted into the open tube and the excess section can leak out from the opening. However, in actual improvements, the so-called open tube is not necessarily open, but the excess section of the tampon is cut off before being inserted into the tube, so the original open tube is defined as a metal tube here.

[0007] For the assembly of tampons, heating sheets, auxiliary rods and metal tubes, the inventor has developed an assembly carrier, which has not yet been made public. The carrier includes multiple transfer seats and core stacking seats. During production, the tampons are first placed on the top of the core stacking groove of the core stacking seat, and then the heating sheet is placed on the tampons, and the auxiliary rod is pressed down on the heating sheet, so that the heating sheet and the tampons are deformed into a roughly U-shape and sink into the core stacking groove to wrap the auxiliary rod. A roughly semicircular positioning groove is provided at the bottom of the core stacking groove, and the segment of the tampons that wraps the auxiliary rod is embedded in the positioning groove. Such auxiliary rods, tampons and heating sheets are used as inner core components on the core stacking seat. Figure 5 In the form shown in the figure, the heating sheet body is wrapped between the cotton strip and the auxiliary rod and is not shown, and only the two guide wires of the heating sheet are exposed. The next step is to transfer the inner core assembly to the horizontal transfer hole of the transfer seat for the next step.

[0008] However, it was found during production that the two guide wires of the heating plate were easily deformed and easily spread apart in an "eight" shape, and could not be accurately and smoothly inserted into the transfer hole of the transfer seat, thus affecting the processing speed.

[0035] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0036] A heating core shaping and positioning mechanism of this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, it includes a positioning support 61, and a wire clamping module 63 and a wire drawing module 62 installed on the positioning support 61. The wire drawing module 62 includes a plurality of wire drawing tubes 621 arranged in parallel and a wire drawing driving member 622 for driving the plurality of wire drawing tubes 621 to move laterally. The wire drawing driving member 622 includes a wire drawing linear motor 6221 and a wire drawing seat 6222. The wire drawing linear motor 6221 is fixed to the positioning support 61, and the wire drawing seat 6222 is connected to the output shaft of the wire drawing linear motor 6221. The plurality of wire drawing tubes 621 are fixed to the wire drawing seat 6222 in parallel along a straight line. The wire drawing linear motor 6221 drives the plurality of wire drawing tubes 621 to move laterally synchronously. The positioning support 61 is provided with a wire drawing guide linear bearing 623 and a wire drawing guide rod 624 that can slide through the wire drawing guide linear bearing 623. The wire drawing guide rod 624 is arranged in parallel with the output shaft of the wire drawing linear motor 6221 and is fixedly connected to the wire drawing seat 6222, so as to make the lateral linear motion of the wire drawing seat 6222 and the wire drawing tube 621 thereon more stable. Specifically, the inner wall of the port of the wire drawing tube 621 is a trumpet mouth, which is in an expanded shape, so as to facilitate the insertion of the guide wire of the heating plate c.

[0037] A wire clamping transverse movement assembly 64 is arranged above the wire drawing module 62, which includes a wire clamping support 641 slidably mounted on the positioning support 61, and a wire clamping transverse movement drive cylinder 642 for driving the wire clamping support 641 to move. The movement direction of the wire clamping support 641 is the same as the movement direction of the wire drawing tube 621. A matching slide rail is arranged between the wire clamping support 641 and the positioning support 61. The wire clamping transverse movement drive cylinder 642 is a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder.

[0038] Specifically, the wire clamping module 63 includes a wire clamping lifting and lowering driving member 631 fixed to the wire clamping support 641, and the wire clamping lifting and lowering driving member 631 is a longitudinally placed lifting cylinder, and a wire clamping opening and closing driving member 632 is fixed to the piston rod of the lifting and lowering cylinder. The wire clamping module 63 also includes two wire clamping plates 633 arranged in parallel close to each other, and the bottoms of the two wire clamping plates 633 are respectively integrally formed with a plurality of wire clamping hooks 634 arranged in parallel horizontally, and the wire clamping hooks 634 of the two wire clamping plates 633 correspond to each other and are arranged opposite to each other as wire guides, and the wire clamping opening and closing driving member 632 is a bidirectional cylinder, and the two wire clamping plates 633 are respectively connected to the two output pistons of the bidirectional cylinder, so that the wire clamping opening and closing driving member 632 can drive the two wire clamping plates 633 to move in the opposite direction along their own length direction, so that the wire clamping hooks 634 of the two wire clamping plates 633 are opened and closed in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0039] Specifically, the wire hook 634 includes a wire groove 6341 with a transverse opening, a guide slope 6342 connected to the wire groove 6341, and an interlocking positioning portion 6343 located at the side of the wire hook 634. When the wire hooks 634 of the two wire plates 633 are in a closed state, the wire grooves 6341 are arranged facing each other with a spacing, and the interlocking positioning portions 6343 are arranged interlockingly. The guide slope 6342 helps to guide the guide wire of the heating plate to the wire groove 6341.

[0040] The use process of the shaping positioning mechanism of this embodiment is as follows: the inner core assembly is transferred to the alignment transit hole through the external mechanical clamp, first the wire clamping transverse movement assembly 64 and the wire clamping lifting drive 631 drive the wire clamping plate 633 to move to the front end of the guide wire close to the heating plate c, and then the wire clamping opening and closing drive 632 drives the two wire clamping plates 633 to move in the alignment direction, so that the wire clamping hooks 634 of the two wire clamping plates 633 gather and position the two guide wires of the heating plate c, and at this time the auxiliary rod d passes between the two wire clamping hooks 634. The wire drawing drive 622 drives the wire drawing tube 621 to pass through the transit hole, so that the two guide wires of the heating plate c and the front end of the auxiliary rod d pass into the wire drawing tube 621. The wire clamping hook 634 opens, and the wire clamping plate 633 moves up and away to avoid hindering the inner core assembly from moving transversely into the transit hole. Then the inner core assembly moves horizontally and continues to be inserted into the transfer hole, and then the wire drawing tube 621 moves together with the inner core assembly to avoid interference between the tampon b and the wire drawing tube 621, until the tampon b of the inner core assembly is inserted into the preset position of the transfer hole.

[0041] In this embodiment, the wire hook 634 gathers the two guide wires of the heating plate c to prevent them from being too far apart, and the wire drawing tube 621 allows the two guide wires of the heating plate and the auxiliary rod to be inserted so that they can be smoothly inserted into the transfer hole. Of course, the above is only one way of using the mechanism of this embodiment, and the process steps can actually be changed according to needs, which is also within the scope of the improved concept of this case.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the two guide wires of the heating plate c are arranged and guided by means of the wire clamping module 63 and the wire drawing module 62, so as to ensure that the guide wires of the heating plate c can be smoothly inserted into the horizontal transfer holes of the transfer seat, thereby improving the production speed.
