Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic cigarette manufacturing, in particular to a conveying device of an electronic cigarette pressing machine. Background Art

[0002] Electronic cigarettes are electronic products that replace traditional cigarettes by heating substances such as e-liquid, tobacco, e-paste, or solid e-cigarette cartridges to form smoke.

[0003] During the manufacturing process of electronic cigarettes, different components need to be pressed and fixed, such as between the upper cover and the bottom shell, and between the mouthpiece and the outer shell. A certain amount of pressure needs to be applied to press the two together. Traditionally, pressing is done manually, but the disadvantage is that the pressing force is not controlled and the production efficiency is low. Later, a pressing machine appeared. For example, the Chinese patent document with the announcement number CN220000860U discloses a pressing mechanism and an electronic cigarette production device, wherein the pressing mechanism includes a mounting frame, a pressing power part arranged on the mounting frame, a mounting plate arranged at the power output end of the pressing power part, and a plurality of pressing heads arranged on the mounting plate; the pressing head is detachably connected to the mounting plate. The pressing head is detachably connected to the mounting plate so that the distance between the pressing heads can adapt to electronic cigarettes of different sizes, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0004] Another example is Chinese patent document CN220936781U, which discloses a device for pressing the bottom cover of an electronic cigarette. The device comprises a support base and a control mechanism. The support base is provided with a product fixture, which is detachably connected to the support base. The product fixture is provided with multiple product placement positions. A mounting frame is provided above the support base, and a pressing assembly is provided on the mounting frame. The pressing assembly is located directly above the product fixture and is connected to the control mechanism. The output end of the pressing assembly is provided with multiple pressing heads, which can drive the pressing heads to connect or separate with the products in the product placement positions. The device can press the bottom covers of multiple electronic cigarettes simultaneously, improving processing efficiency. Moreover, the downward pressure is the same each time, which improves product consistency and meets the processing requirements of high-quality products.

[0005] The existing technology places multiple e-cigarette parts to be pressed together under a pressing assembly, but this has the disadvantage of not being able to produce continuously, which significantly limits the production rate. Later, the applicant adopted a method in which a chain drives a carrier to circulate through the pressing assembly, requiring only a continuous flow of parts to be pressed onto the carrier. However, after pressing, the components are embedded in the carrier and difficult to remove, which limits the pressing efficiency to a certain extent. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above technical problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a conveying device for an electronic cigarette pressing machine.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

The conveying drive component 104 includes a conveying drive motor 1041 and a transmission pulley 1042. The output shaft of the conveying drive motor 1041 drives the rotating shaft to rotate via the transmission pulley 1042. The rotating shaft is provided with a sprocket, which is engaged with the conveying chain 102.

[0032] A plurality of connecting plates 105 are connected between the two conveyor chains 102. A plurality of carriers 103 are fixed on the connecting plates 105, and each connecting plate 105 corresponds to two carriers 103. The conveyor chains 102 drive the plurality of carriers 103 to pass through the peripheral pressing stations in sequence.

[0033] Each carrier 103 includes an upward-opening loading trough 1031 for placing the pressed products, and the side wall of the loading trough 1031 is provided with a kicking notch 1032; a kicking assembly 106 is provided next to the conveyor chain 102, and the kicking assembly 106 includes a kicking bar 1061. The kicking bar 1061 can be inserted into the kicking notch 1032 to push the pressed products out of the loading trough 1031.

[0034] Specifically, the conveyor chain 102 is arranged in an elliptical shape, and includes upper and lower chain segments arranged horizontally and vertically, as well as turning links at both ends. The kicking component 106 is arranged next to the turning link. When the turning link drives the corresponding carrier 103 to move downward, the kicking bar 1061 automatically passes through the kicking notch 1032. The kicking bar 1061 does not require additional power. When the carrier 103 turns downward and passes the kicking bar 1061, the kicking bar 1061 automatically inserts into the kicking notch 1032 to push out the pressed product.

[0035] Specifically, the depth of the kicking notch 1032 is greater than the depth of the material storage groove 1031 and runs through the entire carrier 103. The pressed product is placed in the material storage groove 1031, and the kicking bar 1061 applies force to the bottom of the product to kick it out.

[0036] Specifically, a positioning hole 1051 is formed on the connecting plate 105 at a position offset from the carrier 103 for inserting a positioning pin of the press-fit assembly to ensure accurate press-fitting position.

[0037] Specifically, the kicker assembly 106 also includes a mounting plate 1062 connected to the conveying bracket 101. The kicker bar 1061 is fixed to the mounting plate 1062. The inclination angle of the mounting plate 1062 is adjustable, and the distance between the kicker bar 1061 and the carrier 103 is also adjustable. The mounting plate 1062 includes a first elongated hole 10621 and a second elongated hole 10622. A first screw is passed through the first elongated hole 10621. After the mounting plate 1062 is adjusted to a preset inclination angle, the first screw is tightened to lock the mounting plate 1062. The kicker bar 1061 is installed in the second elongated hole 10622. A second screw is passed through the second elongated hole 10622. After the distance between the kicker bar 1061 and the carrier 103 is adjusted, the second screw is tightened to lock the kicker bar 1061. The tilt angle of the kick strip 1061 and the distance from the carrier 103 are adjusted to ensure that the kick strip 1061 is accurately inserted into the kick notch 1032 of the carrier 103 without interference.

[0038] In this embodiment, the conveyor support 101 is further provided with a material measuring mechanism 107 for detecting whether the carrier 103 contains a product to be pressed, and if so, the pressing operation proceeds. The detection principle can utilize an existing infrared transmitter and receiver. If the product blocks the radiation, it indicates that the carrier 103 contains a product; otherwise, it indicates that the carrier 103 does not contain a product.
