[0002] At present, the production line of electronic cigarettes has become more intelligent. Before assembling the cartridge and the cigarette rod, the cartridge needs to be filled with oil. In the existing production line, the cartridge to be filled with oil needs to be grabbed and placed on the filling position, and then grabbed and removed after the filling is completed. In order to improve the filling efficiency, the staggered feeding mechanism is a good choice.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments, and do not limit the scope of the present invention.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0023] The specific embodiments are as follows:

[0024] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-3 As shown, an automatic rotating clamping staggered feeding mechanism includes a staggered translation mechanism 1, a feeding table and a cigarette cartridge fixing mechanism 5. The feeding table includes a first feeding table 3 and a second feeding table 4. The first feeding table 3 and the second feeding table 4 are connected to the staggered translation mechanism 1 and can staggeredly move under the drive of the staggered translation mechanism 1.

[0025] A cigarette cartridge fixing mechanism 5 is provided on both the first feeding platform 3 and the second feeding platform 4. The cigarette cartridge fixing mechanism 5 includes a support seat 51, a linkage rotation mechanism, and a positioning clamping mechanism. Specifically, a plurality of support seats 51 are provided according to the use requirements and are arranged side by side; the support seat 51 has an inner cavity with an open upper end, and the shape of the inner cavity matches the shape of the cigarette cartridge; an opening is provided on one side of the inner cavity, and when the cigarette cartridge is placed on the support seat 51, one end thereof is exposed from the opening.

[0026] It should be noted that during the production process of filling the cigarette cartridge with oil, the robot grabs the cigarette cartridge and places it on the support seat 51, but the placement direction of the cigarette cartridge at this time is not consistent with the direction when the oil can be filled, and the cigarette cartridge needs to be twisted in a certain direction before filling the oil.

[0027] More specifically, the linkage rotation mechanism drives all the support seats 51 to rotate synchronously; the positioning clamping mechanism is arranged on one side of the support seat 51 and can move telescopically relative to the support seat 51. After the cigarette cartridge is placed on the support seat 51, the linkage rotation mechanism drives the support seat 51 to rotate synchronously to a set angle. At this time, the opening of the support seat 51 is facing the positioning clamping mechanism. The positioning clamping mechanism extends close to the support seat 51 and presses and fixes the cigarette cartridge. Under the drive of the staggered translation mechanism 1, the feed table drives the cigarette cartridge fixing mechanism 5 to move to the oil filling position for oil filling. After the oil filling is completed, the positioning clamping mechanism retracts to release the cigarette cartridge, and the cigarette cartridge can be moved away by the manipulator.

[0028] Furthermore, the linkage rotation mechanism includes a synchronous wheel 52, a driving wheel (not shown in the figure) and a synchronous belt 53. Specifically, the synchronous wheel 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support seat 51, the driving wheel is arranged on one side of the end support seat 51 and driven by a motor, and the same synchronous belt 53 bypasses the driving wheel and all the synchronous wheels 52 arranged side by side to form a linkage rotation mechanism. In this way, when one motor is turned on, all the support seats 51 are synchronously driven to rotate synchronously, ensuring the synchronization of the rotation angles of each cigarette cartridge.

[0029] Furthermore, the positioning and clamping mechanism includes a V-shaped pressing block 54 and a cylinder 55. Specifically, the number of the V-shaped pressing blocks 54 is consistent with the number of the support seats 51, and the V-shaped opening faces the direction of the support seat 51; the cylinder 55 is drivingly connected to the V-shaped pressing block 54, and the V-shaped pressing block 54 is synchronously extended and retracted under the drive of the cylinder 55 to ensure that the cigarette cartridge placed on the support seat 51 is synchronously fixed or released.

[0030] Furthermore, the staggered translation mechanism 1 includes a first guide rail 11, a first slider 12, a second guide rail (not shown in the figure) and a second slider (not shown in the figure). Specifically, the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail have the same structure, and the first slider 12 and the second slider have the same structure. More specifically, the first slider 12 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 11, and the first feeding platform 3 is directly connected to the first slider 12; the second slider is slidably connected to the second guide rail, and is connected between the second feeding platform 4 and the second slider through the heightening bracket 2, so that the second feeding platform 4 is directly above the first feeding platform 3. In this way, when the first feeding platform 3 and the second feeding platform 4 feed alternately, their docking positions are only different in height, which facilitates the robot to grab the cigarette cartridges.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first slider 12 and the second slider are both driven by a nut-screw mechanism, that is, the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail both use screws, and internal threaded holes matching the screws are arranged on the first slider 12 and the second slider, and a motor is connected to the end of the screw. The motor drives the screw to rotate, thereby driving the movement of the slider.

[0032] When the automatic rotating clamping staggered feeding mechanism of this embodiment is used, the first feeding table 3 is set to the initial state at the position where the cigarette cartridge is to be placed, and the positioning clamping mechanism is in a retracted state. The manipulator grabs the empty cigarette cartridge to be filled with oil and places it on the support seat 51. The rotation of the motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, and drives the rows of support seats 51 to rotate synchronously at a set angle under the linkage of the synchronous belt 53 and the synchronous wheel 52. At this time, the opening position of the support seat 51 is opposite to the positioning clamping mechanism, and the direction of the cigarette cartridge is convenient for oil filling. The cylinder 55 drives the V-shaped pressure block 54 to extend and press the cigarette cartridge to fix the cigarette cartridge. The staggered translation mechanism 1 drives the first feeding table 3 and the second feeding table 4 to move alternately, the first feeding table 3 moves to the oil filling position, and the second feeding table moves to the position where the cigarette cartridge is to be placed. After the oil filling of the cigarette cartridge on the first feeding table 3 is completed, the positioning clamping mechanism retracts and releases the cigarette cartridge, and the manipulator grabs the oil-filled cigarette cartridge and moves it away. During the oil filling process, the cigarette cartridges on the second feeding table 4 are placed, rotated, and clamped synchronously, and then the second feeding table 4 and the first feeding table 3 are moved alternately again, over and over again, to achieve staggered loading and improve processing efficiency.

[0033] The above is an exemplary description of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the technical solution of the utility model, or the concept and technical solution of the utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
