[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of the present invention provides an atomizer core assembly device, including a machine platform 61, a turntable 62 arranged on the machine platform 61, and a plurality of jigs 63 distributed in a ring shape on the edge of the turntable 62. The jigs 63 are provided with positioning posts 64, which are used to position the outer steel tube.

[0032] An example of the present invention also provides an external steel pipe loading mechanism, which is arranged on a machine platform 61 and located on the outside of a turntable 62. The external steel pipe loading mechanism includes a vibrating loading tray 1, a discharge guide trough 2 connected to the discharge end of the vibrating loading tray 1, a flipping assembly 3 and a transplanting assembly 4 located at the end of the discharge guide trough 2 away from the vibrating loading tray 1. The flipping assembly 3 is used to receive the external steel pipe and flip the external steel pipe, and the transplanting assembly 4 is used to transplant the flipped external steel pipe to the positioning column 64 in the corresponding jig 63.

[0033] Structurally, the flip assembly 3 includes a first bracket 31, a first driving member 32 and a flip seat 33. The first driving member 32 is installed on the first bracket 31. The first driving member 32 is used to drive the flip seat 33 to rotate. The flip seat 33 is sequentially provided with a number of receiving columns 34 along the rotation direction. The receiving columns 34 are used to support and position the outer steel pipe. The transplanting assembly 4 includes a second bracket 41 and a transplanting robot 42 arranged on the second bracket 41.

[0034] During operation, the vibrating loading tray 1 arranges the disordered multiple outer steel pipes in an orderly and directional manner through vibration, so that the orderly and directional arranged multiple outer steel pipes are transported one by one from the discharge end of the vibrating loading tray 1 to the discharge guide groove 2, and the multiple outer steel pipes are placed horizontally and transported one by one to the receiving column 34 through the discharge guide groove 2. At this time, the outer steel pipe is sleeved on the receiving column 34, and then, the first driving member 32 drives the flip seat 33 to rotate, and the flip seat 33 drives the receiving column 34 to flip, so that the outer steel pipe sleeved on the receiving column 34 is flipped from horizontal placement to vertical placement, and then, the transplanting robot 42 transplants the vertically placed outer steel pipe from the receiving column 34 to the positioning column 64 in the jig 63, thereby realizing automatic loading of the outer steel pipe, reducing labor costs and improving work efficiency.

[0035] In some preferred embodiments, a guide conical surface 341 is provided at one end of the material receiving column 34. When the horizontally placed outer steel pipe enters the material receiving column 34 from one end of the discharge guide groove 2, one end of the outer steel pipe first enters along the guide conical surface 341 of the material receiving column 34. The guide conical surface 341 can guide the outer steel pipe so that the outer steel pipe is coaxial with the material receiving column 34, thereby facilitating the smooth insertion of the outer steel pipe onto the material receiving column 34.

[0036] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some preferred embodiments, the transplanting robot 42 includes a U-shaped transplanting module 421 and a clamping module 422. The U-shaped transplanting module 421 is used to drive the clamping module 422 to move along the U-shaped track, and the clamping module 422 is used to clamp or release the outer steel pipe.

[0037] Specifically, the U-shaped transplanting module 421 includes a mounting plate 4211, a guide plate 4212 arranged on the mounting plate 4211, a rocker arm 4213 rotatably connected to the guide plate 4212, a motor 4214 for driving the rocker arm 4213 to swing, and a follower 4215 connected to one end of the rocker arm 4213. The guide plate 4212 is provided with a U-shaped guide groove 42121. The motor 4214 drives the rocker arm 4213 to swing to drive the follower 4215 to move along the trajectory of the U-shaped guide groove 42121. The clamping module 422 is provided on the follower 4215.

[0038] It can be understood that when the outer steel pipe is turned over, the motor 4214 drives the rocker arm 4213 to swing to drive the follower 4215 to move to one end along the track of the U-shaped guide groove 42121, and the follower 4215 drives the clamping module 422 to move to the corresponding position of the material receiving column 34, and the clamping module 422 clamps the outer steel pipe connected to the material column. Then, the motor 4214 drives the rocker arm 4213 to swing in the opposite direction to drive the follower 4215 to move to the other end along the track of the U-shaped guide rail, and the follower 4215 Drive the clamping module 422 to move to the top of the jig 63, so that the outer steel pipe clamped by the clamping module 422 is placed on the jig 63. Then, the clamping module 422 releases the outer steel pipe, and the motor 4214 drives the rocker arm 4213 to swing to drive the follower 4215 to move to the highest point, waiting for the next transplanting action. In this way, the outer steel pipe can be accurately transplanted from the receiving column 34 to the jig 63, ensuring that the transplanting route of the clamping module 422 is constant, and improving the accuracy and stability of the outer steel pipe loading process.

[0039] Furthermore, the follower 4215 includes a transverse guide rail 42151, a first slider 42152 slidingly connected to the transverse guide rail 42151, a second slider 42153 arranged on the first slider 42152, a vertical guide rail 42154 slidingly connected to the second slider 42153, a follower shaft 42155 connected to the top of the vertical guide rail 42154, and a follower wheel 42156 rotatably connected to the follower shaft 42155. One end of the rocker arm 4213 is provided with a movable long groove 42131 for accommodating the follower shaft 42155 to pass through. The follower wheel 42156 is rollingly connected in the U-shaped guide groove 42121. The transverse guide rail 42151 is installed on the mounting plate 4211, and the clamping module 422 is arranged at the bottom end of the vertical guide rail 42154.

[0040] It can be understood that when the motor 4214 drives the rocker arm 4213 to swing, the rocker arm 4213 drives the follower shaft 42155 to move, so that the roller on the follower shaft 42155 rolls along the U-shaped guide groove 42121. At the same time, the vertical guide rail 42154 connected to the follower shaft 42155 is slidably connected to the second slider 42153, and the vertical guide rail 42154 always maintains a vertical state. The second slider 42153 drives the first slider 42152 to slide along the length direction of the transverse guide rail 42151, thereby making the vertical guide rail 42154 move along the U-shaped track of the U-shaped guide groove 42121, and the vertical guide rail 42154 drives the clamping module 422 at the bottom to move along the U-shaped track of the U-shaped guide groove 42121.

[0041] In some preferred embodiments, the clamping module 422 includes a finger cylinder 4221 and two clamping fingers 4222 respectively arranged at the two output ends of the finger cylinder 4221. The finger cylinder 4221 is installed at the bottom end of the vertical guide rail 42154 through the support 4223. The finger cylinder 4221 drives the two clamping fingers 4222 to move closer to or away from each other at the same time, which can realize the clamping or loosening of the outer steel pipe. The clamping force of the two clamping fingers 4222 is balanced, which can prevent the outer steel pipe from deformation. Moreover, it can ensure that the outer steel pipe is centered, thereby improving the transplanting accuracy.

[0042] In some preferred embodiments, a photoelectric sensor head 5 is provided on one side of the flip seat 33. The photoelectric sensor head 5 is used to sense whether the outer steel tube is sleeved on the receiving post 34. If it is sensed that there is no outer steel tube on the receiving post 34, the device will alarm, thereby facilitating troubleshooting for the operator and ensuring the assembly quality of the atomizer core.

[0043] Specifically, the photoelectric sensor head 5 is mounted on the machine platform 61 via a mounting bracket, which facilitates the fixation of the photoelectric sensor head 5 .

[0044] In some preferred embodiments, the discharge guide trough 2 is installed on the machine platform 61 through a support seat 21. The support seat 21 can support the discharge guide trough 2 to improve the stability of the discharge guide trough 2 and prevent the discharge guide trough 2 from deformation.

[0045] Furthermore, a cover plate 22 is provided on the top of the discharge guide trough 2 to prevent the outer steel pipe in the discharge guide trough 2 from flying out during transportation. At the same time, it can also prevent external foreign matter from entering the discharge guide trough 2, thereby ensuring the normal transportation of the outer steel pipe.

[0046] 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.
