Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum tube drilling, in particular to an aluminum tube hole opening device for electronic cigarettes. Background Art
[0002] As an emerging alternative to traditional tobacco, electronic cigarettes have seen widespread adoption and development in recent years. The manufacturing process for electronic cigarettes involves several key components, such as the atomizer, battery, and temperature control circuit. The atomizer is a core component of electronic cigarettes. The manufacture of electronic cigarette atomizers typically requires drilling holes in the metal tube to create the inlet and outlet for the e-liquid. This drilling process is a crucial step in electronic cigarette production. Traditional drilling methods include the following: 1. Manual drilling: Holes are drilled in metal tubes using a manual drill press or electric drill. While simple, the process is inefficient and prone to problems such as uneven hole diameter and misaligned hole positions. 2. Laser drilling: Laser drilling technology precisely drills holes in metal tubes, achieving high precision and efficiency, but at the cost of high equipment investment. 3. Stamping: A stamping die is used to drill holes in the metal tube in a single operation. While efficient, it requires specialized die production and is costly. To address the challenges associated with these drilling methods, electronic cigarette manufacturers have been researching and exploring more efficient and cost-effective drilling devices and processes to meet the demands of electronic cigarette production. Therefore, developing a new type of aluminum tube hole-opening device for electronic cigarettes has important research value and application prospects.
[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with the prior art publication number "CN221109969U" discloses an aluminum tube hole-opening device for electronic cigarettes, the key points of its technical solution are: it includes an operating table, a movable hole is opened on the top surface of the operating table, a rotating hole is opened on one side of the operating table, a collecting hole is opened on the top surface of the operating table, an aluminum tube body is provided on the top surface of the operating table, a placement block is fixedly installed on the top surface of the operating table, a slag drop hole is opened on the top surface of the placement block, a recovery box is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the operating table, and two stabilizing plates are fixedly installed on the top surface of the operating table; a fixing component, the fixing component is arranged on the top surface of the operating table, and is used to fix the position of the aluminum tube body. The support of the two supporting plates in the fixing component inside the aluminum tube body can prevent the surface of the aluminum tube body from being concave due to the pressure of the drill rod during drilling, thereby better protecting the aluminum tube body during the production process, thereby improving the production yield.
[0004] In actual use, when the above utility model needs to be used to drill holes in different positions and angles of the aluminum tube, the support provided by only two supporting plates inside the aluminum tube body may still cause deformation of the aluminum tube during the drilling process. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an aluminum tube hole opening device for electronic cigarettes to address the above problems.
[0006] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions: An aluminum tube hole-opening device for electronic cigarettes includes a base, a conveying component, and an anti-deformation component. The base is provided with a groove 2 for fixedly connecting the conveying component. The anti-deformation component is detachably connected to the conveying component. The anti-deformation component includes an inner shell, an outer shell, a semicircular arc block 1, a semicircular arc block 2, and a protrusion. The semicircular arc block 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer shell. The semicircular arc block 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner shell. The protrusion is fixedly connected to the semicircular arc block 2. The semicircular arc block 1 is provided with a groove 1 for clamping the protrusion. The inner shell and the outer shell are detachably connected. The inner shell is provided with a plurality of circular hole grooves 1. The outer shell is provided with a circular hole groove 2 corresponding to the circular hole groove 1.
[0007] When drilling a hole in an aluminum tube, first insert the inner shell into the outer shell. The protrusion snaps into groove one, locking the inner and outer shells together. Semicircular arc blocks 1 and 2 also feature circular grooves on the sides facing the aluminum tube. When the aluminum tube is inserted into the gap between the inner and outer shells, it snaps into the circular grooves, securing it within the gap. The one-to-one correspondence between circular grooves 1 and 2 makes drilling more convenient and quick. This prevents deformation of the aluminum tube during drilling, better preserving its original shape and making drilling more labor-efficient.
[0008] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes a threaded rod, a slider, a baffle, and a first motor. The first motor is fixedly mounted on an outer wall of the base. One end of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the first motor, and the other end is rotatably connected to an inner wall of the base. The slider is threaded onto the threaded rod.

[0012] Further, it also includes "U" shaped block, connecting plate, base. The "U" shaped block is fixedly connected on the base. The connecting plate is fixedly connected on the "U" shaped block. The base is fixedly installed on the base. The base is provided with a semicircular groove for placing the shell.
[0013] Further, it also includes drill bit, air cylinder. The air cylinder is fixedly connected on the connecting plate. The drill bit is fixedly connected on the air cylinder.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effects that:
[0015] 1. When the aluminum pipe needs to be drilled, the inner shell is inserted into the outer shell, and the inner shell and the outer shell are clamped together through the clamping of the convex block in the groove. At the same time, the semicircular arc block one and the semicircular arc block two are provided with a circular groove on the side facing the aluminum pipe. When the aluminum pipe is inserted into the gap between the inner shell and the outer shell, it is clamped into the circular groove, so that the aluminum pipe is fixed in the gap. The connection between the inner shell and the outer shell is more simple and convenient to disassemble through the clamping mode. The corresponding circular hole groove one and the circular hole groove two make the drilling process more convenient and fast. Thus, the deformation of the aluminum pipe during drilling is avoided, the original shape of the aluminum pipe is better protected, and the drilling is more labor-saving.
[0016] 2. When the motor one is reversed, the threaded rod drives the sliding block connected thereon to move forward or backward, and drives the baffle fixedly connected thereon to move. Thus, the aluminum pipe is drilled at different length positions, and the applicability is wider. The motor two drives the transmission shaft to rotate, drives the clamped semicircular arc block one and semicircular arc block two to rotate, and thus the aluminum pipe is drilled at different angles, and the practicability is increased.
[0017] 3. When the aluminum pipe moves forward, in order to align the circular hole groove drilled by the drill bit, the pressing plate is pressed, the long plate is extruded to compress the multiple springs below, and the multiple blocks are lowered. When the aluminum pipe moves to another hole position, the pressing plate is released, the multiple springs are stretched, the multiple blocks on the long plate are driven to rise and clamp the baffle, and the position of the aluminum pipe is fixed, and thus the aluminum pipe is precisely drilled.
