[0027] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 , describing the specific implementation of this embodiment.

[0028] The embodiment of the present application provides an electronic cigarette disassembly tool, including a shell 1, a hot air gun 2, a protective cover 4, a clamping mechanism 7 and an inner core ejection mechanism 8. A mounting plate 5 is fixed in the middle position inside the shell 1, and the bottoms of the clamping mechanism 7 and the inner core ejection mechanism 8 are fixed on the mounting plate 5; a first movable groove 1-1 and a second movable groove 1-2 for the clamping mechanism 7 and the inner core ejection mechanism 8 to move are also provided on the top surface of the shell 1; wherein, the first movable groove 1-1 is two symmetrical ones, located on one side of the top surface of the shell 1; the second movable groove 1-2 is a long strip-shaped slide groove, located on the other side of the top surface of the shell 1. The clamping mechanism 7 includes two symmetrically arranged clamping claw arms 7-1, and the clamping claw arms 7-1 pass through the first movable groove 1-1 on the upper surface of the shell 1. The bottom of the clamping arm 7-1 is connected to the first driving device 7-3, wherein the first driving device 7-3 includes a first screw (not marked in the figure) and a first rotating wheel 7-3-1 connected to the first screw, and the first rotating wheel 7-3-1 is located on the side of the front surface of the shell 1. In this embodiment, the side of the shell 1 shown in the main view is the front surface. By rotating the first rotating wheel 7-3-1, the first screw is driven to move and then the two clamping arms 7-1 are driven to approach each other, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the electronic cigarette rod. At the same time, a baffle 7-2 is also provided between the two first movable grooves 1-1 on the top surface of the shell 1. The baffle 7-2 is a detachable stainless steel round rod, which is fixed between the two first movable grooves 1-1 through a plurality of mounting holes. The baffle 7-2 can limit the displacement and sliding of the electronic cigarette rod after clamping. At the same time, the plurality of mounting holes are arranged in a straight line. During the disassembly process, the position of the baffle can be adjusted according to the different lengths of the electronic cigarette rod.

[0029] The inner core ejection mechanism 8 includes a push rod 8-1, an up-and-down displacement platform 8-3, a first fixed plate 8-4, a screw slide 8-5, and a second drive device 8-6. The push rod 8-1 is connected to the up-and-down displacement platform 8-3 through a base 8-2. An adjustment knob 8-3-1 is also provided on the up-and-down displacement platform 8-3. The adjustment knob 8-3-1 can drive the base 8-2 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the push rod 8-1 to ensure that the position of the push rod 8-1 can be aligned with the position of the electronic cigarette rod. Specifically, the up-and-down movement of the displacement platform can be achieved by using the cooperation between the adjustment knob 8-3-1 and the screw or the gear set. The above-mentioned adjustment means are conventional technical means in this field and will not be described in detail here. The upper and lower displacement platforms 8-3 are also connected to the first fixed plate 8-4, the bottom of which is fixed to the screw slide 8-5 by bolts. One end of the screw slide 8-5 passes through the second movable groove 1-2, and the other end is connected to the second driving device 8-6. The second driving device 2-6 includes a second screw (not marked in the figure) and a second rotating wheel 8-6-1. The second rotating wheel 8-6-1 is located on the side of the housing 1, and the second rotating wheel 8-6-1 is connected to the second screw. By rotating the second rotating wheel 8-6-1, the second screw is driven to move, and then the screw slide 8-5 is driven to move along the second movable groove 1-2, so that the ejector rod 8-1 on the screw slide 8-5 gradually approaches the electronic cigarette rod clamped by the clamping arm 7-1, and the inner core of the electronic cigarette rod is ejected. By using the second rotating wheel 8-6-1 to apply the force to eject the inner core, the control accuracy can be improved, and the problem of using too little force to eject the inner core of the electronic cigarette rod and causing damage to the rod or the inner core due to excessive force can be effectively avoided.

[0030] It should be clarified that in this embodiment, the method of using a rotating wheel and a screw to move the clamping arm or the screw slide is a conventional technical means. Those skilled in the art may also adopt other methods, such as using a motor to drive a gear set or using a screw drive to achieve the above process, which does not constitute a limitation of the present application.

[0031] A protective cover 4 and a connecting rod 3 connected to the hot air gun 2 are also fixed to the top surface of the shell 1, wherein the area of ​​the protective cover 4 is slightly smaller than the area of ​​the top surface of the shell 1, which can provide effective installation space for the connecting rod 3 of the hot air gun 2. In this embodiment, the protective cover 4 is a transparent protective cover, and a rectangular opening is provided on the upper surface of the protective cover 4, which facilitates the hot air gun 2 to extend into the protective cover 4 to heat the electronic cigarette rod. By adding the protective cover 4, it is possible to effectively prevent the battery explosion from causing harm to the operator when disassembling the electronic cigarette. The hot air gun 2 is fixed to one side of the top surface of the shell 1 by the connecting rod 3. The connecting rod 3 is made of magnesium-aluminum alloy, which not only fixes the hot air gun 2, but also can be bent to different angles according to different usage conditions. In addition, a handle is provided at the top of the side of the shell 1 to facilitate the operator to grab the disassembly tool and move it as a whole.

[0032] Due to the large friction between the pipe and the inner core of some electronic cigarettes, it is not easy to pull out the inner core after it is pushed out of the pipe. Therefore, in this embodiment, an auxiliary disassembly mechanism 9 is also provided. The auxiliary disassembly mechanism 9 is fixed on the other side of the front surface of the shell 1 and includes a slide bar 9-1, a second fixing plate 9-2, a third rotating wheel 9-3, a third screw rod 9-4 and a clamp. The slide bars 9-1 are provided in parallel with each other, and the slide bars 9-1 are provided with a clamp and a second fixing plate 9-2 from left to right. The clamp includes a left clamp 9-5 and a right clamp 9-6. The left clamp 9-5 is fixed to the shell 1, and one end of each of the two slide bars 9-1 is fixed to the left clamp 9-5. One end of the third screw rod 9-4 passes through the second fixing plate 9-2 and is fixedly connected to the right clamp 9-6. The third rotating wheel 9-3 is also provided on the third screw rod 9-4. By rotating the third wheel 9-3, the right clamping claw 9-6 is driven to move toward the left clamping claw 9-5. The distance between the left clamping claw 9-5 and the right clamping claw 9-6 is adjusted by the third wheel 9-3 according to the size of the electronic cigarette inner core, and the clamping claw is used to clamp the ejected inner core. At this time, the operator only needs to grab the electronic cigarette rod with force and pull it out to achieve the separation of the electronic cigarette rod and the inner core.

[0033] Furthermore, a temperature controller 6 is provided on the shell below the mounting plate, wherein the temperature controller 6 is communicatively connected to the hot air gun 2, and the temperature controller 6 is used to set the hot air heating temperature and heating time of the hot air gun 2. At the same time, a thermocouple is also provided on the clamping arm 7-1 of the clamping mechanism 7, and the thermocouple and the temperature controller 6 are also communicatively connected. The hot air temperature on the surface of the electronic cigarette rod is collected in real time through the thermocouple on the clamping arm 7-1 and transmitted to the temperature controller 6. When the temperature is too high, the temperature controller 6 will automatically cut off the power supply of the hot air gun 2 to prevent the battery temperature inside the electronic cigarette rod from being too high and causing danger.

[0034] The working principle of the device provided in this embodiment is:

[0035] First, remove the protective cover 4 and place the e-cigarette rod between the clamping arms 7-1. Turn the first rotating wheel 7-3-1 to clamp the e-cigarette rod. Simultaneously, install the blocking rod 7-2 in the appropriate position based on the length of the e-cigarette rod. Adjust the adjustment knob 8-3-1 on the upper and lower translation stages 8-3 to ensure that the top rod 8-1 and the e-cigarette rod are on the same horizontal line.

[0036] Next, install the protective cover 4. Use the temperature controller 6 to set the hot air heating temperature and heating time of the heat gun 2. Turn on the heat gun 2, and heat the e-cigarette rod through the rectangular slot above the protective cover 4, melting the adhesive securing the rod shell and inner core. Slowly rotate the second rotating wheel 8-6-1 to eject the inner core from the rod. During the heating process, the thermocouple on the clamping arm 7-1 collects the hot air temperature of the e-cigarette surface in real time and transmits it to the temperature controller 6. If the temperature is too high, the temperature controller 6 automatically disconnects the power supply to the heat gun 2 to prevent the e-cigarette battery from overheating and causing danger.

[0037] When the friction between the electronic cigarette rod and the inner core is large, and it is not easy to pull out the inner core after it is pushed out, the distance between the left clamping claw 9-5 and the right clamping claw 9-6 of the auxiliary disassembly mechanism 9 is adjusted by the third rotating wheel 9-3 to clamp the inner core. The operator only needs to pull out the rod with force to separate the electronic cigarette rod and the inner core, and complete the disassembly of the electronic cigarette.

[0038] Although the above description of the specific implementation methods of the present invention is combined with the accompanying drawings, it does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Technical personnel in the relevant field should understand that on the basis of the technical solution of the present invention, various modifications or deformations that can be made by technical personnel in this field without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
