[0031] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by technical personnel in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships involved in the patent do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the fact that a better connection structure can be formed by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the creation of the present invention can be combined interactively without conflicting with each other.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 6 An embodiment of the present invention provides an atomizer core assembly device, including a machine platform 71, a turntable 72 arranged on the machine platform 71, a plurality of jigs 73 distributed in a ring shape on the edge of the turntable 72, and a transfer mechanism 74 arranged on the machine platform 71. The jig 73 is provided with a first station 731 and a second station 732. The first station 731 is located inside the turntable 72, and the second station 732 is located outside the turntable 72. The first station 731 is placed on the outer steel pipe and the upper ring assembly. The transfer mechanism 74 is used to transfer the assembly on the first station 731 to the second station 732.

[0033] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a cotton tube feeding mechanism, which is disposed on the machine platform 71 and is used to transfer the cotton tubes into the outer steel tube on the second station 732 .

[0034] Specifically, the cotton tube feeding mechanism includes a vibrating feeding tray 1, a flipping assembly 3, a pushing assembly 4 and a lifting assembly 5. The output end of the vibrating feeding tray 1 is connected to the discharge guide groove 2. The vibrating feeding tray 1 arranges the disordered multiple cotton tubes in an orderly and directional manner through vibration, so that the multiple cotton tubes are arranged horizontally in the discharge guide groove 2 in sequence. The flipping assembly 3 is used to receive and flip the cotton tubes. The pushing assembly 4 is used to drive the flipping assembly 3 to move horizontally so that the cotton tubes on the flipping assembly 3 are moved to directly below the second workstation 732. The lifting assembly 5 is used to lift the cotton tubes on the flipping assembly 3 into the outer steel pipe on the second workstation 732.

[0035] Structurally, the flip assembly 3 is located at one end of the discharge guide trough 2, and includes a flip seat 31, a material receiving block 32 arranged on the flip seat 31, and a first driving member 33 for driving the flip seat 31 to rotate. The material receiving block 32 is provided with a stepped hole 321, and the stepped hole 321 passes through both sides of the material receiving block 32. The large hole of the stepped hole 321 is used to receive the cotton tube conveyed by the discharge guide trough 2.

[0036] Furthermore, the lifting assembly 5 includes a first support plate 51, a second driving member 52 and a thimble 53. The second driving member 52 is arranged on the first support plate 51, and the thimble 53 is arranged vertically. The stepped hole 321 in the flip seat 31 after translation corresponds to the thimble 53. The second driving member 52 is used to drive the thimble 53 to rise to pass through the stepped hole 321 and lift the cotton tube.

[0037] During operation, the vibration loading tray 1 arranges the disordered multiple cotton tubes in an orderly and directional manner through vibration, so that the multiple horizontally placed cotton tubes are transported one by one from the output end of the vibration loading tray 1 to the discharge guide groove 2, and the cotton tubes are transported one by one to the stepped holes 321 on the receiving block 32 through the discharge guide groove 2. Then, the first driving member 33 drives the turning seat 31 to rotate, and the turning seat 31 drives the receiving block 32 to turn over, so that the stepped hole 321 in the receiving block 32 is vertically arranged. At this time, the cotton tubes accommodated in the stepped hole 321 are The cotton tube is in a vertical state, and then the pushing assembly 4 drives the flipping assembly 3 to move horizontally, so that the stepped hole 321 in the receiving block 32 moves to directly below the second station 732 of the jig 73, so that the outer steel tube on the second station 732 is coaxial with the cotton tube in the stepped hole 321. Then, the second driving member 52 drives the ejector pin 53 to rise, so that the ejector pin 53 passes through the stepped hole 321 and lifts the cotton tube into the outer steel tube, thereby realizing automatic loading and assembly of the cotton tube, reducing labor costs and improving work efficiency.

[0038] In some preferred embodiments, the pushing assembly 4 includes a second support plate 41 , a first cylinder 42 disposed on the second support plate 41 , a slider 43 disposed at the telescopic end of the first cylinder 42 , and the flipping assembly 3 is disposed on the slider 43 .

[0039] It can be understood that the first cylinder 42 drives the slider 43 to translate, and the slider 43 drives the flip assembly 3 to translate as a whole. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0040] Furthermore, a slide groove is provided on the second support plate 41, and the slide groove is arranged horizontally. The slider 43 is slidably connected to the slide groove. When the first cylinder 42 drives the slider 43 to move, the slider 43 slides along the length direction of the slide groove, thereby improving the stability of the flip assembly 3 during the movement.

[0041] In some preferred embodiments, the first driving member 33 includes a rotating cylinder, the flip seat 31 is arranged on the main shaft of the rotating cylinder, and the rotating cylinder is installed on the slider 43. The rotating cylinder has a compact structure and occupies a small space. Moreover, the positioning accuracy of the rotating cylinder is high, and it is easy to control the flip angle of the flip seat 31.

[0042] Furthermore, a limiting block 34 is arranged between the rotating cylinder and the flip seat 31. The limiting block 34 is fixed to the cylinder body of the rotating cylinder. The limiting block 34 is provided with a through hole, and the through hole accommodates the main shaft of the rotating cylinder to pass through. A cavity for accommodating the movement of the flip seat 31 is provided on the limiting block 34. The cavity has an arc segment 341 and two straight segments 342 respectively connected to the two ends of the arc segment 341. The two straight segments 342 are perpendicular to each other. The flip seat 31 is a U-shaped structure. The arc segment 341 corresponds to the arc surface of the U-shaped structure. The two straight segments 342 limit the two sides of the U-shaped structure respectively.

[0043] It can be understood that when the flip seat 31 is driven to rotate by the rotating cylinder, one side of the flip seat 31 abuts against one of the straight sections 342, which can limit the flip seat 31 and prevent the flip angle of the flip seat 31 from being too large. Therefore, the flip angle of the flip seat 31 can be accurately limited, and then, it can be ensured that the cotton tube is in a vertical state after flipping, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the cotton tube and the outer steel tube.

[0044] In some preferred embodiments, the second driving member 52 is a second cylinder, and a mounting block 54 is provided at the telescopic end of the second cylinder. A T-slot 541 is provided on the mounting block 54, and a boss 531 is provided at the bottom end of the ejector pin 53. The boss 531 is embedded in the T-slot 541, thereby enabling the ejector pin 53 to be quickly installed and disassembled, making it easier to replace the ejector pin 53.

[0045] Furthermore, a guide block 55 is provided on the first support plate 51, and the guide block 55 is provided with a guide hole 551. The guide hole 551 is vertically arranged, and the ejector pin 53 is slidably connected in the guide hole 551. When the second cylinder drives the ejector pin 53 to rise and fall, the ejector pin 53 can slide along the length direction of the guide hole 551, thereby improving the stability of the ejector pin 53 when rising and falling, and ensuring that the cotton tube can accurately enter the inner cavity of the outer steel tube.

[0046] In some preferred embodiments, a sensing component 6 is provided at one end of the discharge guide trough 2. The sensing component 6 is used to sense whether the cotton tube on the discharge guide trough 2 is transferred to the stepped hole 321. If the sensing component 6 senses that there is no cotton tube in the stepped hole 321, the equipment will alarm, thereby facilitating troubleshooting for the operator and ensuring the assembly quality of the atomizer core.

[0047] Furthermore, the sensing component 6 includes a bracket 61 and a photoelectric sensing head 62 arranged on the bracket 61. The flip seat 31 is provided with a sensing hole 322, which is connected to the large hole of the stepped hole 321. The photoelectric sensing head 62 senses whether there is a cotton tube in the stepped hole 321 through the sensing hole 322, thereby facilitating the photoelectric sensing head 62 to irradiate the inside of the stepped hole 321.

[0048] The above is a specific description of the preferred implementation of the present invention, but the invention of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
