[0043] Example 1
[0044] In view of the aforementioned deficiencies in existing cotton-wrapped rod loading devices, the applicant, drawing upon years of extensive practical experience and expertise in the design and manufacture of such products, combined with the application of academic theory, has actively engaged in research and innovation, hoping to create a technology that can address the deficiencies in the existing technology and make cotton-wrapped rod loading devices more practical. After continuous research and design, as well as repeated trial production and improvements, the present utility model, which has proven to be of practical value, has been created.
[0045] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The present invention provides a cotton-wrapped stick feeding device, comprising:
[0046] The material bin 1 is formed with a storage trough 101, and the side wall of the storage trough 101 is set inclined; a plurality of cotton-wrapped sticks are placed in parallel in the discharge trough 101.
[0047] The discharge plate 2 passes through the silo 1 from the bottom and extends into the storage trough 101. The top of the discharge plate 2 is provided with a loading trough 201 for carrying a cotton-wrapped stick; the discharge lifting device 3 is used to drive the discharge plate 2 to rise and fall along the set direction.
[0048] When the discharge plate 2 is at a first height, the cotton-wrapped rods in the storage trough 101 can roll along the trough wall of the storage trough 101 into the loading trough 201 ; when the discharge plate 2 is at a second height, the top of the discharge plate 2 extends out of the hopper 1 .
[0049] In this embodiment, the discharge plate 2 is raised and lowered by the discharge lifting device 3, so that the discharge plate 2 is at a first height or a second height. When the discharge plate 2 is at the second height, the robot grasps the cotton-wrapped rod on the discharge plate 2, thereby avoiding the situation of multiple cotton-wrapped rods being grasped, and effectively improving the subsequent assembly yield.
[0050] It should be noted that the setting direction is generally a vertical direction, but can also be an inclined direction.
[0051] Optionally, the silo 1 includes a bottom plate 11, two first side plates 12, a second side plate 13, and a baffle 14; the storage trough 101 is formed on the bottom plate 11, the two first side plates 12 are arranged opposite each other, and the second side plate 13 and baffle 14 are arranged opposite each other; the first side plates 12, the second side plates 13, and the baffle 14 are all mounted on the bottom plate 11 to form the silo 1 with an upward opening. When the discharge plate 2 rises from the first height to the second height, the discharge plate 2 gradually passes through the opening of the silo 1.
[0052] Optionally, mounting slots 102 are spaced apart on the base plate 11 and parallel to the second side plates 13 , with the baffle 14 mounted in one of these slots 102 . A corresponding slot 103 for securing the baffle 14 is provided on the first side plate 12 , corresponding to the slots 102 . Specifically, if the cotton-wrapped sticks vary in length, the mounting position of the baffle 14 can be adjusted to accommodate the discharging needs of cotton-wrapped sticks of varying lengths. Typically, one end of the cotton-wrapped stick faces the second side plate 13 , and the other end faces the baffle 14 .
[0053] Optionally, two material storage troughs 101 are provided on the bottom plate 11, and two corresponding discharge plates 2 are provided; the two discharge plates 2 are mounted on the same discharge lifting device 3. In this way, two cotton-wrapped sticks can be discharged at a time, and the two cotton-wrapped sticks are arranged at intervals, which can further improve the discharge efficiency and is conducive to improving the production efficiency of the electronic atomizer.
[0054] Optionally, the cotton wrapped rod loading device also includes a clamping rod assembly 4 installed on one side of the top of the hopper 1 and a horizontal drive device 5 for driving the clamping rod assembly 4 to move horizontally; the clamping rod assembly 4 includes a first clamping arm 41 and a second clamping arm 42, and a clamping cylinder 43 for driving the first clamping arm 41 and the second clamping arm 42 toward each other to clamp the cotton wrapped rod; when the discharge plate 2 is at the second height, the cotton wrapped rod on the discharge plate 2 is located between the first clamping arm 41 and the second clamping arm 42.
[0055] Specifically, the clamping cylinder 43 drives the first clamping arm 41 and the second clamping arm 42 to clamp a cotton wrapping rod, and then the position of the cotton wrapping rod is transferred under the drive of the horizontal driving device 5 until the cotton wrapping rod is moved to a position more suitable for loading.
[0056] Optionally, the cotton-wrapped rod loading device further includes a support frame 6 that plays a supporting role, and the hopper 1, the discharge lifting device 3 and the horizontal driving device 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the support frame 6.
[0057] Optionally, a vertical cylinder 7 is further mounted on the driving end of the horizontal drive device 5, and the clamping rod assembly 4 is mounted on the telescopic shaft of the vertical cylinder 7. The vertical cylinder 7 can change the loading height of the cotton-wrapped rods, thereby making the cotton-wrapped rod loading device more adaptable, that is, it can meet the loading needs of assembly equipment at different heights.
[0058] Optionally, there is a gap between the discharge plate 2 and the second side plate 13, and a gap between the discharge plate 2 and the baffle 14. In this way, the end of the cotton-wrapped stick is exposed to the loading groove 201, so that the clamping rod assembly 4 can more conveniently clamp the cotton-wrapped stick.
[0059] Optionally, the loading trough 201 is an arc-shaped groove, and the storage trough 101 is a V-shaped groove, and the cotton-wrapped rod rolls down along the groove wall of the V-shaped groove under the action of gravity. The gap between the discharge plate 2 and the hopper 1 is smaller than the width of the cotton-wrapped rod to avoid leakage.

[0061] This embodiment discloses an electronic atomizer assembly device, including a cotton-wrapped rod loading device as described in any one of the above items.
[0062] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the specification and drawings of this application, this does not limit the scope of patent protection of this application.
