[0002] A side cover installation machine is a specialized installation device used to precisely install side covers into predetermined positions, ensuring a tight fit and secure connection between the side cover and the main structure.

[0003] In the prior art, the side cover on the feeding plate is first firmly adsorbed and fixed by the suction nozzle on the conveying device. Then, the conveying device is started to move the side cover to a predetermined position above the mouthpiece body. Then, by operating the conveying device, the suction nozzle is slowly moved downward to make the side cover engage with the mouthpiece body, thereby completing the installation of the mouthpiece side cover.

[0004] The existing side cover installation machine still has some shortcomings in actual use. During the feeding process, due to the small size of the side cover, it needs to be lowered slowly when it comes into contact with the feeding plate. This operation makes the side cover feeding process take a long time. At the same time, the side cover may shift slightly during the suction process of the mouthpiece, which causes the docking position between the side cover and the mouthpiece body to shift during the assembly process. Alignment is required before assembly can continue, which reduces the overall production efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a side cover mounting machine. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0008] The feeding assembly includes a support plate, on which a feeding plate is slidably disposed, thereby limiting and fixing the side cover;

[0009] The transport assembly includes a support frame, on which a transport bracket is slidably mounted. A suction nozzle is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transport bracket. The side cover is displaced by adsorbing the side cover through the suction nozzle and transported to the position of the mouthpiece body.

[0010] A guide block is fixedly connected to the top of the machine platform, and a conveyor belt is symmetrically arranged between the guide blocks. A stepper motor is fixedly connected to one end of the guide block, and a transport clamp is slidably connected to the middle of the guide block.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, each end of the guide block is provided with a rotating shaft, the conveyor belt is driven between the two guide blocks, the output shaft of the stepper motor is fixed to one of the rotating shafts on the guide block, and the transport clamp is fixedly installed on the top surface of the conveyor belt.

[0029] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, a side cover installation machine according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a machine base 1, on which a feeding component and a conveying component are provided;

[0032] The feeding assembly includes a support plate 21, and a feeding plate 24 is slidably disposed on the support plate 21 to limit and fix the side cover.

[0033] The transport assembly includes a support frame 31, on which a transport bracket 35 is slidably mounted. A suction nozzle 36 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transport bracket 35. The side cover is moved by the suction nozzle 36 after being adsorbed, and the side cover is transported to the position of the mouthpiece body.

[0034] A guide block 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the machine base 1. A conveyor belt 42 is symmetrically arranged between the guide blocks 41. A stepper motor 43 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide block 41. A transport clamp 44 is slidably connected to the middle of the guide block 41.

[0035] Specifically, the existing side cover installation machine still has some shortcomings in actual use. During the feeding process, due to the small size of the side cover, when the side cover comes into contact with the feeding plate 24, it needs to be lowered relatively slowly. This operation makes the side cover feeding process take a long time. At the same time, during the process of the mouthpiece 36 adsorbing the side cover, the side cover may shift slightly, causing the docking position between the side cover and the mouthpiece body to shift during the assembly process. Alignment is required before assembly can continue, which reduces the overall production efficiency.

[0036] Therefore, this utility model solves this problem by setting a corresponding structure. In the initial state, the feeding plate 24, positioning plate 25, suction nozzle 36 and transport clamp 44 are adjusted to be on the same straight line, and the cigarette nozzle body is placed on the transport clamp 44.

[0037] The side cover is placed on the loading plate 24 by a robotic arm, and then moved vertically downward by the transport bracket 35, causing the suction nozzle 36 to come into contact with and adhere to the side cover, thus fixing it in place. Then the transport bracket 35 is reset and moved horizontally to position the suction nozzle 36 above the transport fixture 44. The transport bracket 35 is then moved downward again to snap the side cover onto the mouthpiece body, thus completing the installation of the side cover.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, both ends of the guide block 41 are provided with rotating shafts, the conveyor belt 42 is driven between the two guide blocks 41, the output shaft of the stepper motor 43 is fixed to one of the rotating shafts on the guide block 41, and the transport clamp 44 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the conveyor belt 42.

[0039] Specifically, by starting the stepper motor 43, the conveyor belt 42 drives the transport fixture 44 to move during transmission, thereby adjusting the position of the transport fixture 44.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, compared with Embodiment 1, another embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment, as a further solution of the present utility model, the feeding assembly further includes an electric guide rail 22, which is fixed to one side of the support plate 21. A stepper motor 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate 21. The feeding plate 24 slides on the top of the feeding plate 24, and a positioning plate 25 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the machine base 1.

[0043] Specifically, by starting stepper motor 23, the feeding plate 24 is displaced on stepper motor 23, thereby adjusting the position of feeding plate 24.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding plate 24 in this embodiment is provided with a groove, the shape and size of which are adapted to the shape and size of the side cover. The top of the positioning plate 25 is provided with a positioning groove, the shape and size of which are adapted to the shape and size of the side cover.

[0045] Specifically, the groove on the feeding plate 24 allows the side cover to be positioned when placed on it, and also makes the feeding operation simpler; when the side cover is placed in the positioning groove on the positioning plate 25, it is positioned again by the shape of the positioning groove.

[0046] This invention uses the groove on the feeding plate 24 to limit the side cover when it is placed on the feeding plate 24, which simplifies the feeding operation and ensures that the adjacent side covers are in the same position after feeding. This avoids the problem that the existing feeding operation requires the side cover to be lowered slowly, which takes a long time. It achieves fast feeding and improves the efficiency of assembly.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conveying assembly in this embodiment also includes an electric guide rail 32, which is fixed to the top of the support frame 31. One end of the electric guide rail 32 is fixedly connected to a stepper motor 33. A conveying mechanism 34 is slidably arranged on the electric guide rail 32. The conveying brackets 35 are symmetrically arranged on the conveying mechanism 34. Multiple suction nozzles 36 are provided.

[0048] Specifically, in the initial state, no side cover is placed on the transport fixture 44 and the positioning plate 25. When the side cover is placed on the loading plate 24, the transport mechanism 34 causes the transport bracket 35 to move downward, so that the suction nozzle 36 near the loading plate 24 contacts the side cover on the loading plate 24. At this time, the suction nozzle 36 is activated, so that the side cover is attracted and fixed by the suction nozzle 36. The suction nozzle 36 away from the loading plate 24 is now above the positioning plate 25. Then the transport bracket 35 is reset, and the transport mechanism 34 drives the transport bracket 35 to move horizontally through the electric guide rail 32, so that the suction nozzle 36 with the side cover is above the transport bracket 35, and the suction nozzle 36 away from the loading plate 24 is above the transport fixture 44. Through the downward movement of the transport bracket 35, the side cover is placed on the positioning plate 25. Then the suction nozzle 36 is closed and reset, so that the side cover is placed on the positioning plate 25. Then the transport mechanism 34 is horizontally reset through the electric guide rail 32.

[0049] The above operation is then repeated to engage the side cover with the mouthpiece body on the transport clamp 44, thus completing the installation.

[0050] This invention uses the displacement of the suction nozzle 36 to move the side cover, and drives the conveying mechanism 34 to make the suction nozzle 36 move up and down to snap the side cover onto the mouthpiece body. During this process, the side cover is moved from the feeding plate 24 to the positioning plate 25, and then the side cover is repositioned, making the docking of the side cover and the mouthpiece body more precise.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the spacing between adjacent suction nozzles 36 is the same as the spacing between the feeding plate 24 and the positioning plate 25 and the spacing between the positioning plate 25 and the transport fixture 44.

[0052] Specifically, this ensures that while the nozzle 36 on one transport bracket 35 is installing the side cover, the nozzle 36 on another transport bracket 35 places the side cover onto the positioning plate 25.

[0053] Working principle:

[0054] The side cover is placed on the loading plate 24 by a robotic arm. The conveying mechanism 34 moves the conveying bracket 35 downward, so that the suction nozzle 36 close to the loading plate 24 contacts the side cover on the loading plate 24. At this time, the suction nozzle 36 is activated, so that the side cover is attracted and fixed by the suction nozzle 36. The suction nozzle 36 away from the loading plate 24 is now above the positioning plate 25. Then the conveying bracket 35 is reset, and the conveying mechanism 34 drives the conveying bracket 35 to move horizontally through the electric guide rail 32. Then the suction nozzle 36 with the side cover is placed above the conveying bracket 35, and the suction nozzle 36 away from the loading plate 24 is placed above the transport fixture 44. The downward movement of the conveying bracket 35 places the side cover on the positioning plate 25. Then the suction nozzle 36 is closed and reset, so that the side cover is placed on the positioning plate 25. Then the conveying mechanism 34 is reset horizontally through the electric guide rail 32.

[0055] The above operation is then repeated to engage the side cover with the mouthpiece body on the transport clamp 44, thus completing the installation.

[0056] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
