[0002] Many electronic products involve arranging wires and making connections. Wires can also be called leads. Usually, different leads need to be connected to corresponding connection terminals with opposite polarities and electrical signals. A lead generally has a structure in which an insulating skin wraps a conductive metal wire and undergoes plastic deformation when subjected to an external force.

[0003] During the whole process of manual processing, manufacturing, and assembly, workers can use their eyes to identify at least two leads on the workpiece that are not neatly oriented or crossed. Before connecting the lead joints, they can use both hands to adjust the leads to make them straight and no longer crossed, so as not to affect the connection. However, in large-scale production, manually checking and operating one by one obviously has problems such as low efficiency, high manual labor intensity, and inconsistent manual operation levels.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6, this embodiment provides a lead rectifying device, including:

[0028] A workpiece clamping mechanism 1, which is used to clamp the outer wall of the workpiece to be processed, and fix the workpiece to be processed in alignment with the rectifying position;

[0029] A rectifying fixture 2, which includes a clamping drive device 210 and a pair of clamping members 220 installed at the power output end of the clamping drive device 210; the clamping drive device 210 is used to drive the two clamping members 220 to clamp or move away from each other; when the two clamping members 220 are clamped, a rectifying groove 221 corresponding to the outer diameter of a lead of a workpiece to be processed is enclosed;

[0030] A propulsion mechanism 3, which is used to drive the rectifying fixture 2 to move in the forward and reverse directions along the side wall of the lead of the workpiece to be processed to push against it.

[0031] In some embodiments, the workpiece to be processed is a component inside an electronic cigarette, and the component includes a support tube body, an auxiliary rod arranged inside the tube body, and at least two leads with one end extending out of the tube orifice of the tube body.

[0032] The component is clamped by the workpiece clamping mechanism 1 on the outer wall of the tube body, and is fixed in alignment with the rectifying position, waiting for subsequent processing.

[0033] In the initial state, the propulsion mechanism 3 is located at the initial position far from the side wall of the lead, and the clamping drive device 210 drives the two clamping members 220 to be in a relatively clamped state. After the rectifying starts, the propulsion mechanism 3 drives the rectifying fixture 2 to move as a whole to the first moving amount. The outer walls of the clamping members 220 pass through all the leads located at the rectifying position, and push and bend them to the interference position, and the propulsion mechanism 3 stops driving the movement.

[0034] At this time, the lead closest to the rectifying groove 221 is in the state of entering the rectifying groove 221. Since the size specification of the rectifying groove 221 corresponds to the outer diameter of a lead of a workpiece to be processed, when the propulsion mechanism 3 drives the rectifying fixture 2 to move as a whole to the second moving amount, only one lead is driven to swing and is bent and rectified. The moving direction of the second moving amount is opposite to the moving direction of the first moving amount.

[0035] After the rectifying of one lead is completed in this way, the clamping drive device 210 drives the two clamping members 220 to move away from each other relatively, and cancels the clamping of the lead. In this way, the separation of the leads from each other is completed.

[0036] If there is still another lead wire that needs to be regularized, the advancing mechanism 3 drives the regularization fixture 2 to move a return stroke amount, so that the lead wire corresponds to the regularization groove 221. The clamping drive device 210 drives the two clamping members 220 to be in a relatively clamped state. The advancing mechanism 3 drives the entire regularization fixture 2 to move to the third moving amount, and then only one lead wire is driven to swing for bending and regularization. The moving direction of the third moving amount is opposite to that of the first moving amount. The return stroke amount is in the same direction as the moving direction of the first moving amount. And so on for cyclic processing.

[0037] When there is no longer a need to regularize the lead wires, the clamping drive device 210 drives the two clamping members 220 to move relatively away from each other to cancel the clamping, and the advancing mechanism 3 drives the regularization fixture 2 back to the initial position.

[0038] In addition, according to the actual situation, such as the subsequent connection positions of each lead wire or the spacing requirements between multiple lead wires, appropriately adjust the values of the second moving amount, the third moving amount, the fourth moving amount, the fifth moving amount...

[0039] By designing the first moving amount to push and bend all the lead wires against each other to the interference position, it is ensured that the regularization groove 221 can accurately clamp the lead wires, and the lead wires are swung to achieve the purposes of pre-wiring and preventing the lead wires from crossing or being too close to each other.

[0040] With this device, manual labor can be replaced, and continuous and consistent action processing can be carried out, reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving production efficiency.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the workpiece clamping mechanism 1 includes a first clamping arm 110, a second clamping arm 120, and a clamping driver 130; the first clamping arm 110 and the second clamping arm 120 are installed at the power output end of the clamping driver 130; the clamping driver 130 is used to drive the first clamping arm 110 and the second clamping arm 120 to relatively clamp the outer wall of the workpiece tube to be processed or move away from each other.

[0042] It can receive the workpiece to be processed or cancel the clamping of the processed and regularized workpiece.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the clamping members 220 are all sheet-like plates, and at least one of the clamping members 220 is provided with a guiding bevel 222; when the two clamping members 220 are clamped, the guiding bevel 222 is smoothly connected to the regularization groove 221.

[0044] The guiding bevel edge 222 and the opposite edge of another clamping member 220 form an enclosing area, forming a guiding function. During the process of the advancing mechanism 3 driving the regularizing fixture 2 to move along the direction of abutting and pushing the lead side wall of the workpiece to be processed, it can ensure that all leads swing and regularize in a predetermined direction.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the advancing mechanism 3 includes a primary advancing device 310 and a secondary advancing device 320; the secondary advancing device 310 is installed at the power output end of the primary advancing device 320; the clamping driving device 210 is installed at the power output end of the secondary advancing device 320; the driving moving directions of the primary advancing device 310 and the secondary advancing device 320 are parallel.

[0046] In this embodiment, after the primary advancing device 310 drives the secondary advancing device 320 and the regularizing fixture 2 to move as a whole to the first moving amount, the primary advancing device 310 remains in place; the secondary advancing device 320 drives the regularizing fixture 2 to perform the second moving amount, or perform the second moving amount + return amount + third moving amount + return amount...

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , both the primary advancing device 310 and the secondary advancing device 320 include a pushing cylinder and a slider rail group.

[0048] The slider rail group guides the power output of the piston rod of the pushing cylinder, making the moving direction more accurate and stable, and the stroke of the pushing cylinder is accurate and easy to adjust and control.

[0049] In some embodiments, both the clamping driving device 210 and the clamping driver 130 are finger cylinders.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , including a lifting device 6 and a height regularizing plate 4; the workpiece clamping mechanism 1 is installed at the power output end of the lifting device 6; the upper edge of the height regularizing plate 4 is at least flush with the regularizing position.

[0051] Before the workpiece clamping mechanism 1 clamps the workpiece to be processed and fixes it in alignment with the regularizing position, the lifting device 6 carries the workpiece clamping mechanism 1 and the workpiece to be processed to move simultaneously until reaching the regularizing position, that is, the upper edge of the height regularizing plate 4 stops moving, so that the leads that were originally disordered in the up and down direction are regularized by the height regularizing plate 4. It can be that the leads will bend upward after being blocked by the upper edge of the height regularizing plate 4, ensuring the lower limit is flush, making multiple leads maintain the same relative height, and improving the regularity.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 2 - Figure 4, including a support frame 5; the height regulation plate 4 and the propulsion mechanism 3 are installed on the support frame 5.
