Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to the technical field of electronic cigarette production equipment, and particularly to a heating tube hot pressing and forming device. Background Art

[0002] The heating tube is one of the important components of an electronic cigarette. The production of the heating tube requires hot pressing and forming. The hot pressing and forming devices in the prior art generally apply pressure from one side through a heating plate or apply pressure from both sides to the middle through two opposite heating plates. These hot pressing methods can only apply pressure from one direction. However, the heating tube is a component with a cylindrical structure. Applying pressure from only one direction can only hot press one side or opposite sides of the product, and cannot hot press all aspects of the cylindrical structure component in all directions, thus affecting the hot pressing and forming effect and performance of the heating tube. For example, when the electric heating plate of the heat sublimation automatic double-sided flat press in the patent document "CN202010829262.4 - Heat sublimation automatic double-sided flat press and its working method" hot presses a cylindrical component, it can only apply pressure from one direction, and can only hot press the opposite sides of the cylindrical structure component, and cannot hot press all aspects of the cylindrical structure component in all directions, affecting the hot pressing and forming effect and performance of cylindrical components such as heating tubes.

[0026] Refer to Figures 1 to 6, A heating tube hot pressing and forming device is used for hot pressing and forming e-cigarette heating tubes. The heating tube hot pressing and forming device includes a hot pressing device 1, a handling device 2, and a chassis 3. The chassis 3 is used to install the hot pressing device 1 and the handling device 2. The hot pressing device 1 and the handling device 2 are arranged inside the chassis 3. The chassis 3 is a closed box structure with a loading door 33, a discharging door 34, and an observation window 35. Arranging the hot pressing device 1 and the handling device 2 inside the closed chassis 3 can ensure the safety of the operator and prevent the operator's hand from being clamped by the hot pressing device 1 when reaching into the hot pressing device 1. In addition, the chassis 3 is connected to a vacuum pump 4 to form a vacuum environment inside the closed chassis 3, optimizing the hot pressing and forming effect and performance of the heating tube. Inside the chassis 3, a loading table 31 and a discharging table 32 are provided. The loading table 31 and the discharging table 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the hot pressing device 1 and are respectively connected to the loading door 33 and the discharging door 34. Thus, the heating tube to be hot pressed can be loaded onto the loading table 31 through the loading door 33. Then, the handling device 2 transports the heating tube to be hot pressed from the loading table 31 to the hot pressing device 1 for hot pressing. After hot pressing, the handling device 2 transports the hot pressed heating tube from the hot pressing device 1 to the discharging table 32, and then the hot pressed heating tube is discharged from the discharging table 32 through the discharging door 34. The loading table 31 and the discharging table 32 are provided with storage fixtures matching the heating tubes, so that the heating tubes can be stably stored on the loading table 31 and the discharging table 32. The loading door 33 and the discharging door 34 are preferably lifting doors, which facilitates the opening and closing of the loading door 33 and the discharging door 34 in a vacuum environment.

[0027] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , The handling device 2 includes a support frame 21, a rotation driving mechanism 22, and a clamping mechanism 23. The clamping mechanism 23 is arranged on the support frame 21 through the rotation driving mechanism 22. The rotation driving mechanism 22 drives the clamping mechanism 23 to rotate and adjust the angle. Thus, when hot pressing and forming the heating tube, after the hot pressing device 1 applies pressure to the heating tube at one angle for hot pressing, the clamping mechanism 23 can clamp the heating tube and rotate it by a certain angle, and then the hot pressing device 1 applies pressure to the heating tube at different angles for hot pressing. Therefore, full-round hot pressing of the heating tube at all angles can be achieved, optimizing the hot pressing and forming effect and performance of the heating tube. For example, after the two opposite hot pressing mechanisms of the hot pressing device 1 apply pressure to the heating tube on the opposite sides of the heating tube for hot pressing and forming, the clamping mechanism 23 clamps the heating tube and rotates it by 90 degrees, and then the heating tube can be subjected to full-round pressure hot pressing of 360 degrees.

[0028] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6, the rotation driving mechanism 22 includes a mounting frame 221, a rotation driving member 222 and a transmission member. The clamping mechanism 23 includes a plurality of clamping jaws 231. Each clamping jaw 231 is rotatably arranged on the mounting frame 221. The rotation driving member 222 drives each clamping jaw 231 to rotate through the transmission member. Thus, when loading, unloading and rotating to adjust the position, each clamping jaw 231 can respectively clamp a heating tube, and the loading, unloading and rotating adjustment of multiple heating tubes can be completed simultaneously, which can improve the working efficiency of the heating tube hot pressing and forming equipment. The rotation driving member 222 can be a motor.

[0029] Refer to Figure 6 , the rotation driving mechanism 22 can adopt a belt, gears, etc. In this embodiment, a structure in which the rotation driving mechanism 22 adopts gears is shown, including a driving gear 223 and a plurality of driven gears 224. Each clamping jaw 231 is respectively provided with a driven gear 224. Each driven gear 224 is meshed and connected together. The driving gear 223 is arranged at the output end of the rotation driving member 222. The driving gear 223 is meshed and connected with one of the driven gears 224. Thus, when the rotation driving member 222 rotates, it can drive each driven gear 224 to rotate synchronously, so that the heating tubes clamped by each clamping jaw 231 rotate synchronously to adjust the angle.

[0030] Refer to Figure 6 , the mounting frame 221 adopts the following structure, including an upper mounting plate and a lower mounting plate. The upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate are arranged at intervals to form a frame-like structure. Each clamping jaw 231 is rotatably arranged on the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate through bearings. Each driven gear 224 is located between the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate. Thus, each clamping jaw 231 is more stably mounted on the mounting frame 221, and when the rotation driving member 222 rotates to drive each clamping jaw 231 to rotate, it is also more stable, making it more stable when each clamping jaw 231 rotates to adjust the angle of the heating tube, and improving the working reliability of the heating tube hot pressing and forming equipment.

[0031] Refer to Figure 3 , the support frame 21 includes a lifting mounting plate 211, a support column 212 and a lifting driving member 213. The lifting mounting plate 211 is slidably arranged on the support column 212 through a linear bearing. The lifting driving member 213 drives the lifting mounting plate 211 to slide up and down on the support column 212. The clamping mechanism 23 is arranged on the lifting mounting plate 211 and can move up and down with the lifting mounting plate 211, so that the handling device 2 can move the heating tube up and down.

[0032] Refer to Figure 3, the support frame 21 further includes an upper limit plate 214, a lower limit plate 215, an upper buffer member 216, and a lower buffer member 217. The upper limit plate 214 is disposed on the upper part of the support column 212, and the lower limit plate 215 is disposed on the lower part of the support column 212. The upper limit plate 214 and the lower limit plate 215 limit the lifting movement of the lifting mounting plate 211 above and below the lifting mounting plate 211 respectively. The upper buffer member 216 is disposed on the lower side of the upper limit plate 214, and the lower buffer member 217 is disposed on the upper side of the lower limit plate 215. The lifting mounting plate 211 is limit-mounted between the upper limit plate 214 and the lower limit plate 215. When the lifting mounting plate 211 moves to the upper and lower extreme positions, it can be buffered by the upper buffer member 216 and the lower buffer member 217 to prevent the lifting mounting plate 211 from hitting the upper limit plate 214 and the lower limit plate 215 hard, thereby further improving the operation stability of the heating tube hot pressing and forming equipment. The upper buffer member 216 and the lower buffer member 217 can adopt common buffer components such as springs and rubber blocks.

[0033] Refer to Figure 3 , the support frame 21 further includes a horizontal moving block 219 and a horizontal driving member 218. The horizontal moving block 219 is slidably disposed on the lifting mounting plate 211 through a slide rail structure. The horizontal driving member 218 drives the horizontal moving block 219 to slide horizontally on the lifting mounting plate 211. The clamping mechanism 23 is disposed on the horizontal moving block 219. By driving the clamping mechanism 23 to move horizontally by the horizontal driving member 218, the handling device 2 can horizontally move the heating tube.

[0034] Refer to Figures 3 to 5 , the hot pressing device 1 includes a first hot pressing mechanism 11, a second hot pressing mechanism 12, and an opening and closing driving member 13. The first hot pressing mechanism 11, the second hot pressing mechanism 12, and the opening and closing driving member 13 are all disposed in the chassis 3. The first hot pressing mechanism 11 and the second hot pressing mechanism 12 are slidably disposed on the inner bottom of the chassis 3 through slide rails. The opening and closing driving member 13 drives the first hot pressing mechanism 11 and the second hot pressing mechanism 12 to close relative to each other or separate from each other. The first hot pressing mechanism 11 and the second hot pressing mechanism 12 close relative to each other to hot press and form the heating tube. After the hot pressing and forming is completed, the first hot pressing mechanism 11 and the second hot pressing mechanism 12 separate from each other. The opening and closing driving member 13 can adopt common driving components such as cylinders and oil cylinders.

[0035] Refer to Figure 5, both the first hot pressing mechanism 11 and the second hot pressing mechanism 12 include a mounting substrate 111, a spring 112, a heat insulation plate 113, a forming die 114 and a heating element 115. The heat insulation plate 113 is arranged on the mounting substrate 111 through the spring 112, the forming die 114 is arranged on the heat insulation plate 113, and the heating element 115 is arranged on the forming die 114. Through the buffering of the spring 112, it is avoided that the first hot pressing mechanism 11 and the second hot pressing mechanism 12 hard squeeze the heating tube, resulting in damage to the heating tube. The heating element 115 heats the forming die 114 to realize the hot pressing function of the heating tube hot pressing forming equipment. The heating element 115 can adopt an electric heating rod, and the electric heating rod is inserted into the forming die 114. A semi-circular groove is arranged on the forming die 114. When the heating tube hot pressing forming equipment hot presses the heating tube, the handling device 2 transports the heating tube to between two opposite semi-circular grooves on the first hot pressing mechanism 11 and the second hot pressing mechanism 12.

[0036] Refer to Figure 5 , the hot pressing device 1 further includes a support rod 14. The support rod 14 is arranged at the position between the first hot pressing mechanism 11 and the second hot pressing mechanism 12. A plurality of support rods 14 are arranged, and one support rod 14 is arranged between every two opposite forming dies 114. The support rod 14 is used to support the heating tube. When the heating tube hot pressing forming equipment works, the handling device 2 transports the heating tube to the support rod 14, and then the first hot pressing mechanism 11 and the second hot pressing mechanism 12 close relatively to hot press the heating tube on the support rod 14.

[0037] Refer to Figures 1 to 6 , when the heating tube hot pressing forming equipment works, first, the heating tube to be hot pressed is loaded onto the loading table 31 through the loading door 33 by an external manipulator or the like. Then, the lifting driving member 213 and the horizontal driving member 218 of the handling device 2 drive the clamping mechanism 23 to move to the loading table 31 to clamp the heating tube to be hot pressed. Next, the handling device 2 transports the heating tube to be hot pressed to the support rod 14 of the hot pressing device 1. Then, the first hot pressing mechanism 11 and the second hot pressing mechanism 12 of the hot pressing device 1 close relatively to hot press and form the heating tube. After hot pressing, the first hot pressing mechanism 11 and the second hot pressing mechanism 12 separate in opposite directions. The rotation driving member 222 of the handling device 2 drives each clamping jaw 231 to rotate to rotate the heating tube on the support rod 14 by 90 degrees. The first hot pressing mechanism 11 and the second hot pressing mechanism 12 close relatively to continue hot pressing and forming the heating tube. After the hot pressing and forming is completed, the first hot pressing mechanism 11 and the second hot pressing mechanism 12 separate in opposite directions. The lifting driving member 213 and the horizontal driving member 218 of the handling device 2 drive the clamping mechanism 23 to move above the support rod 14 to clamp each hot pressed heating tube, unload the hot pressed heating tube to the unloading table 32, and finally, the hot pressed heating tube is unloaded from the unloading door 34 by an external manipulator or the like.
