[0034] In this embodiment, a sliver feeding module 2, a heating core feeding module 3, an auxiliary rod feeding module 4, a support tube feeding module 5, a shaping module 6, and a tube inlet module 7 are provided.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the sliver feeding mechanism 21 includes a second slide rail 211, a tray assembly 212 slidably arranged on the second slide rail 211, a sliver tray loading rack assembly 213 and a sliver tray unloading rack assembly 214 arranged at both ends of the second slide rail 211, the sliver picking mechanism 22 includes a first bracket 221, a first sliver suction gripper 222 slidably arranged on the first bracket 221, the tray assembly 212 takes the fully loaded sliver tray 215 from the sliver tray loading rack assembly 213 and then slides to the picking area adjacent to the first bracket 221, and after the slivers in the sliver tray 215 are taken out, slides to the sliver tray unloading rack assembly 214 to unload the slivers, and the first sliver suction gripper 222 sucks the slivers from the sliver tray 215 and transfers them to the shaping module 6.

[0036] Specifically, the sliver tray upper rack assembly 213 is used to place the sliver tray 215 filled with slivers, and the sliver tray lower rack assembly 214 is used to place the emptied sliver tray 215. The second slide rail 211 is arranged between the sliver tray upper rack assembly 213 and the sliver tray lower rack assembly 214. The tray assembly 212 is slidably arranged on the second slide rail 211, so that the tray assembly 212 can take the fully loaded sliver tray 215 from the sliver tray upper rack assembly 213, and then slide on the second slide rail 211 to the position close to the sliver taking mechanism 22, so that the first sliver suction claw 222 can suck the slivers from the sliver tray 215. When the slivers on the sliver tray 215 are emptied, the tray assembly 212 slides to the sliver tray lower rack assembly 214, and the emptied sliver tray 215 is placed on the sliver tray lower rack assembly 214.

[0037] Furthermore, in order to accurately carry out the subsequent tampon shaping process, in some embodiments, the tampon picking mechanism 22 also includes a secondary positioning mechanism 223, a second bracket 224, and a second tampon suction claw 225 slidably arranged on the second bracket 224. The first tampon suction claw 222 sucks the tampon from the tampon material tray 215 and transfers it to the secondary positioning mechanism 223 for secondary positioning, and the second tampon suction claw 225 sucks the tampon from the secondary positioning mechanism 223 and transfers it to the shaping module 6.

[0038] Specifically, the first bracket 221 and the second bracket 224 are arranged in parallel, and the secondary positioning mechanism 223 is arranged between the first bracket 221 and the second bracket 224, so that the first sliver suction claw 222 sucks the sliver from the sliver material tray 215 and moves to the secondary positioning mechanism 223 for secondary positioning. Figure 4As shown, the secondary positioning mechanism 223 includes a secondary positioning area 2231, and the secondary positioning area 2231 includes a first shielding wall and a second shielding wall arranged vertically, and a first toggle area and a second toggle area arranged vertically, and the first toggle area is provided with a first toggle member 2232 for toggle the sliver toward the first shielding wall, and the second toggle area is provided with a second toggle member 2233 for toggle the sliver toward the second shielding wall. After the sliver is placed in the secondary positioning area 2231, the first toggle member 2232 and the second toggle member 2233 toggle the sliver, so that the two sides of the sliver abut against the first shielding wall and the second shielding wall, so that the sliver is in a specified position, and then the second sliver suction claw 225 sucks the repositioned sliver and transfers it to the shaping module 6.

[0039] Furthermore, the sliver material tray upper rack assembly 213 and the sliver material tray lower rack assembly 214 are both provided with a first detection optical fiber 216 .

[0040] Specifically, the first detection optical fiber 216 on the sliver tray upper rack assembly 213 is used to detect whether there is a sliver tray 215 in the sliver tray upper rack assembly 213, and when there is no sliver tray 215 in the sliver tray upper rack assembly 213, the fully automated electronic cigarette atomization core production device is controlled to stop production. The first detection optical fiber 216 of the sliver tray lower rack assembly 214 is used to detect whether the sliver tray 215 at the sliver tray lower rack assembly 214 is fully loaded, and when the sliver tray lower rack assembly 214 is fully loaded, the fully automated electronic cigarette atomization core production device is also controlled to stop production.

[0041] Furthermore, the sliver tray loading rack assembly 213 includes a sliver tray loading rack 2131 that matches the size of the sliver tray 215, a horizontal push cylinder 2132 disposed on both sides of the sliver tray loading rack 2131, and a pair of tray brackets 2133 disposed at the output end of the horizontal push cylinder 2132. The horizontal push cylinder 2132 drives the pair of tray brackets 2133 to move closer to or away from each other. The tray assembly 212 includes a tray 2121 and a lifting cylinder 2122. The sliver tray feeder rack assembly 214 includes a sliver tray feeder rack 2141 that matches the size of the sliver tray 215 and a movable support 2142 arranged on the sliver tray feeder rack 2141. The movable support 2142 opens when the emptied sliver tray 215 is lifted up, and falls down to support the emptied sliver tray 215 after the emptied sliver tray 215 passes through.

[0042] Specifically, when the stacked sliver trays 215 are placed on the sliver tray upper rack 2131 , the horizontal push cylinder 2132 pushes a pair of tray supports 2133 to move closer to each other until they just clamp the sliver trays 215 , so as to support the sliver trays 215 . When loading, the tray assembly 212 moves to the position directly below the sliver tray 215 in the sliver tray loading rack 2131, and the lifting cylinder 2122 lifts the tray 2121 until the tray 2121 abuts against the sliver tray 215. The horizontal pushing cylinder 2132 pushes a pair of tray supports 2133 away from each other, so that the sliver tray 215 falls completely on the tray 2121. The lifting cylinder 2122 drives the tray 2121 to move down a distance equivalent to the thickness of the sliver tray 215. The horizontal pushing cylinder 2132 pushes the pair of tray supports 2133 closer to each other again to support the remaining sliver tray 215. The tray assembly 212 drives the removed sliver tray 215 to be transferred to a position close to the sliver picking mechanism 22 for the sliver picking mechanism 22 to pick up the material.

[0043] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the heating core feeding mechanism 31 includes a feeding component 311, a cutting component 312, a material taking component 313, and a testing component 314. The feeding component 311 includes a feeding bracket component 3111 and a suction component 3112. The cutting component 312 includes a driving module 3121, a cutting bracket 3122 and a cutting component 3123 arranged on the driving module 3121. The suction component 3112 absorbs the heating core material strip from the feeding bracket component 3111 and transfers it to the cutting bracket 3122. The cutting component 3123 cuts off the heating cores on the heating core material strip one by one. The material taking component 313 includes a third slide rail 3131 arranged horizontally and a third slide rail 3131 arranged slidably The heating core clamping assembly 3132 on the third slide rail 3131 is adjacent to the cutting assembly 312, the heating core clamping assembly 3132 clamps the cut heating core from the cutting bracket 3122, the testing assembly 314 includes a testing bracket assembly 3141 and a testing arm assembly 3142 facing the testing bracket assembly 3141, the heating core clamping assembly 3132 transfers the clamped heating core to the testing bracket assembly 3141, the testing arm assembly 3142 performs a structural integrity test on the heating core on the testing bracket assembly 3141, the heating core taking mechanism 32 is arranged adjacent to the other end of the third slide rail 3131, and is used to receive the heating core and transfer the heating core to the shaping module 6.

[0044] It should be noted that the heating core material belt in this embodiment is as follows Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 (a) shows a heating core strip filled with heating cores. Figure 6 (b) shows the empty strip after all the heating cores have been cut off.

[0045] Specifically, when loading the heating core, the heating core material strips need to be manually stacked and placed on the loading bracket assembly 3111. Then, when the suction assembly 3112 sucks the heating core material strips from the loading bracket assembly 3111, the driving module 3121 drives the cutting bracket 3122 to move close to the suction assembly 3112. After the adsorption assembly sucks the heating core material strips, it is transferred to the cutting bracket 3122. The driving module 3121 drives the cutting bracket 3122 to move to the cutting assembly 3123 again. The clamping assembly moves along the third slide rail 3131 to the position close to the cutting assembly 3123 and clamps the heating core that has not been cut off on the heating core material strip. Then, the cutting assembly 3123 cuts off the heating core clamped by the clamping assembly, and the clamping assembly clamps the cut heating core and transfers it to the test bracket assembly 3141. The test arm assembly 3142 tests the heating core. The heating core that passes the test is clamped by the clamping assembly and transferred to the heating core picking mechanism 32, and then transferred to the next processing step by the heating core picking mechanism 32.

[0046] In this embodiment, a loading component 311, a cutting component 312, a picking component 313, a testing component 314 and a heating core picking mechanism 32 are provided. The loading component 311 is used to transfer the heating core material strip to the cutting component 312. The cutting component 312 cuts off the heating cores on the heating core material strip one by one. The picking component 313 then transfers the heating cores one by one to the testing component 314 to detect whether the structure of the heating core is complete and whether the conduction performance is normal. When the heating core passes the test, the picking component 313 transfers it to the heating core picking mechanism 32. The heating core picking mechanism 32 transports the tested heating core to the next processing step. The entire loading process of the heating core does not require manual participation. The heating core loading efficiency is high. The testing component 314 can be used to test the heating core to eliminate defective products in the heating core, thereby improving the yield rate of the final product.

[0047] Further, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the auxiliary rod loading mechanism 41 includes a silo 411, a discharging assembly 412 arranged at the bottom of the silo 411, a first driving assembly 413 for driving the discharging assembly 412 to move in translation, a pushing assembly 414 arranged at the end of the translation path of the discharging assembly 412, and an auxiliary rod support 415 facing the pushing assembly 414. A discharging port (not shown in the figure) matching the size of the auxiliary rod is provided at the bottom of the silo 411, a groove (not shown in the figure) matching the size of the auxiliary rod is provided on the discharging assembly 412, a pushing rod 4141 matching the groove is provided on the pushing assembly 414, and a receiving groove (not shown in the figure) matching the auxiliary rod is provided on the auxiliary rod support 415. The auxiliary rod picking mechanism 42 includes a third bracket 421 and an auxiliary rod clamping assembly 422 slidably arranged on the third bracket 421, and the auxiliary rod clamping assembly 422 clamps the auxiliary rod from the receiving groove and transfers it to the shaping module 6.

[0048] Specifically, the hopper 411 is arranged in an inverted triangle shape, so that the auxiliary rod in the hopper 411 can slide down more conveniently. After the auxiliary rod falls from the discharge port, it falls into the groove at the top of the discharge component 412, and then the first driving component 413 pushes the discharge component 412, so that the groove is just between the pushing rod 4141 of the pushing component 414 and the receiving groove of the auxiliary rod support 415, and then the pushing component 414 drives the pushing rod 4141, so that the pushing rod 4141 pushes the part of the auxiliary rod in the groove to be stuck in the receiving groove, and finally the auxiliary rod clamping component 422 clamps the auxiliary rod from the receiving groove and transfers it to the shaping module 6.

[0049] Furthermore, a third detection optical fiber (not shown in the figure) is arranged adjacent to the receiving groove to detect whether there is an auxiliary rod in the receiving groove, and when an auxiliary rod is present, the auxiliary rod clamping assembly 422 is controlled to remove the auxiliary rod.

[0050] Specifically, by setting a third detection optical fiber at the receiving groove, the third detection optical fiber is used to detect whether there is an auxiliary rod at the receiving groove. If there is an auxiliary rod, the auxiliary rod clamping assembly 422 is controlled to take away the auxiliary rod. The setting of the third detection optical fiber further makes the auxiliary rod taking process more accurate and avoids the situation of empty taking.

[0051] Furthermore, a block support 416 and a block 417 are provided near the discharge port. The block 417 is slidably provided in the block support 416, and a first elastic member (not shown in the figure) is provided between the block 417 and the block support 416. Under the action of the first elastic member, the block 417 pops out when the discharge assembly 412 moves away from directly below the discharge port to cover the discharge port.

[0052] Specifically, when the discharge assembly 412 moves away from under the discharge port, the stopper 417 pops out from the stopper support 416 under the action of the first elastic member, and the stopper 417 can block the discharge port, thereby preventing the auxiliary rod in the silo 411 from falling from the discharge port after the discharge assembly 412 is moved away.

[0054] Specifically, a placement area 61 for placing tampons and heating cores is provided on the carrier assembly 62. The placement area 61 matches the size of the tampons to ensure that the tampons placed in the placement area 61 will not move easily. The placement area 61 is provided with a slit 611. A shaping groove 631 for product molding is provided on the shaping assembly 63, and the shaping groove 631 is directly opposite to the slit 611. After the tampons and heating cores are stacked in the placement area 61, the auxiliary rod clamp 4221 clamps the auxiliary rod and presses it down toward the tampons and heating core. After the auxiliary rod abuts against the heating core, the tampons and heating core pass through the slit 611 to the shaping groove 631. Through the shaping effect of the shaping groove 631, the tampons are wrapped around the heating core, and the heating core is wrapped around the auxiliary rod to obtain a combined component.

[0055] In this embodiment, the tampon and the heating core are stacked and placed in the placement area 61. After the auxiliary rod clamp 4221 clamps the auxiliary rod, the tampon and the heating core are pressed down to pass through the slit 611 and into the shaping groove 631. The tampon and the heating core are shaped by the shaping groove 631. The slit 611 and the shaping groove 631 are used to bend the tampon and the heating core into shape to obtain a shaped assembly. The shaping process of the entire assembly does not require human participation, and the production efficiency and yield rate are higher.

[0056] Further, such as Fig.11As shown, the support tube picking mechanism 52 includes a fourth slide rail 521, a support tube picking assembly 522 slidably arranged on the fourth slide rail 521, and a second driving assembly 523 for driving the support tube picking assembly 522 to slide. The support tube loading mechanism 51 includes a support tube loading assembly 511, a second detection optical fiber 512 and a direction adjustment assembly 513 which are sequentially arranged along the fourth slide rail 521. When the support tube picking assembly 522 slides on the fourth slide rail 521, the support tube is clamped from the support tube loading assembly 511 to the direction adjustment assembly 513, or the support tube is clamped from the direction adjustment assembly 513 to the tube inlet module 7. The second detection optical fiber 512 detects the rotation angle of the support tube at the direction adjustment assembly 513 and controls the direction adjustment assembly 513 to adjust the rotation angle of the support tube to a preset angle.

[0057] Specifically, the support tube loading assembly 511, the second detection optical fiber 512, the adjustment assembly 513 and the tube inlet module 7 are arranged in sequence along the fourth slide rail 521. When loading the support tube, the support tube picking assembly 522 first slides to the position opposite to the support tube loading assembly 511, the support tube picking assembly 522 clamps the support tube from the support tube loading assembly 511, and then slides to the position opposite to the adjustment assembly 513 under the drive of the second driving assembly 523, the adjustment assembly 513 removes the support tube from the support tube picking assembly 522, and then the second detection optical fiber 512 detects the rotation angle of the support tube, and controls the adjustment assembly 513 to adjust the rotation angle of the support tube to a preset angle according to the detection result, and then the support tube picking assembly 522 clamps the adjusted support tube from the adjustment assembly 513, and transports the adjusted support tube to the position opposite to the tube inlet module 7, and the tube inlet module 7 removes the adjusted support tube from the support tube picking assembly 522.

[0058] The bracket tube feeding device of the electronic cigarette in this embodiment arranges the bracket tube feeding component 511, the second detection optical fiber 512, the adjustment component 513 and the tube inlet module 7 in sequence along the fourth slide rail 521, so that the bracket tube picking component 522 clamps the bracket tube from the bracket tube feeding component 511 and quickly transports it to the adjustment component 513, the second detection optical fiber 512 detects the current angle of the bracket tube, and then controls the adjustment component 513 to adjust the angle of the bracket tube to a preset angle, and then the bracket tube picking component 522 transports the adjusted bracket tube to the tube inlet module 7, and the tube inlet module 7 receives the material and transports the bracket tube to the next assembly process, which realizes automatic adjustment of the bracket tube without manual intervention, with fast adjustment speed and high precision, greatly increasing the production efficiency and yield rate of the electronic cigarette.

[0059] Further, such as Fig.12As shown, the tube inlet module 7 includes a base plate 72, a support tube clamping assembly 73, a third driving assembly 74 for driving the support tube clamping assembly 73, and a cutting assembly 75 for cutting excess cotton material on the assembly. The first slide rail 71 is arranged on the base plate 72, and the support tube clamping assembly 73 is slidably arranged on the first slide rail 71. After the support tube clamping assembly 73 clamps the support tube, the third driving assembly 74 drives the support tube clamping assembly 73 to slide toward the shaping module 6 so that the assembly is inserted into the support tube, and then the third driving assembly 74 drives the support tube clamping assembly 73 to move to the cutting assembly 75, and the cutting assembly 75 cuts excess cotton material on the assembly.

[0060] It should be noted that the structure of the assembly is as follows Fig.14 As shown, except for the portion of the cotton sliver wrapped around the heating core and the auxiliary rod, there is also a portion of the straight cotton sliver left. After the assembly is inserted into the bracket tube, this portion of the straight cotton sliver remains outside the bracket tube.

[0061] Specifically, the support tube clamping assembly 73 is slidably disposed on the base plate 72 and is directly opposite to the end of the shaping groove 631. Driven by the third driving assembly 74, the support tube clamping assembly 73 approaches the end of the shaping groove 631 until the assembly is inserted into the support tube on the support tube clamping assembly 73. Then, the third driving assembly 74 drives the support tube clamping assembly 73 to slide to the bottom of the cutting assembly 75. At this time, the cutting assembly 75 shears the cotton strips extending out of the support tube, thereby cutting off excess cotton strips.

[0062] Among them, Fig.13 As shown, the cutting assembly 75 includes a pair of scissors 751, a second elastic member 752 connected to two scissor arms of the scissors 751 and used to pull the two scissor arms to open, a fourth driving assembly 753 driving the two scissor arms to close, and a suction assembly 754 for sucking waste cotton, and the suction assembly 754 is arranged on the scissors 751. Specifically, by arranging the scissors 751 on the pipe inlet module 7, when the pipe inlet module 7 completes the assembly of the assembly and the support tube, it moves to the scissors 751, and the cotton material extending from the support tube is just at the mouth of the scissors 751, and then the fourth driving assembly 753 drives the scissors 751, so that the waste cotton is cut off, and then under the suction action of the suction assembly 754, the waste cotton is sucked into the waste cotton recovery pipeline for recycling. In addition, after the scissors 751 cut the waste cotton, the second elastic member 752 pulls the scissor arm, so that the blade of the scissors 751 is opened again.
