[0057] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a cotton swab removal mechanism 100, which includes a conveying module 10, a positioning module 20, and a swab removal module 30. The conveying module 10 is used to convey a carrier 200 carrying an atomizer 300 along a first direction X. The carrier 200 has a swab removal position on the conveying module 10, and a cotton swab 400 is inserted into the atomizer 300 carried by the carrier 200. The positioning module 20 is used to position the carrier 200 at the swab removal position. The swab removal module 30 is used to remove the cotton swab 400 inserted into the atomizer 300 carried by the carrier 200 at the swab removal position.
[0058] Further, please refer to Figures 2-4 As shown, the positioning module 20 includes an interception unit 21 and a stop-return unit 22. The interception unit 21 is disposed in front of the stop-return unit 22 along the first direction X, so that the interception unit 21 and the stop-return unit 22 are spaced apart to form a space for intercepting the vehicle 200.
[0059] Further, the intercepting unit 21 is configured to intercept the carrier 200 moving along the first direction X, and the carrier 200 moving along the first direction X will be bounced and move in the direction opposite to the first direction X after colliding with the intercepting unit 21. Therefore, the check unit 22 is configured to limit the carrier 200 intercepted by the intercepting unit 21 to move along the direction opposite to the first direction X, so that the carrier 200 can be quickly limited between the intercepting unit 21 and the check unit 22, and continue to move along the first direction X by the conveying module 10, so that the carrier 200 abuts against the intercepting unit 21 and stops at the stick-out position, thereby achieving quick positioning of the carrier 200, and further improving the stick-out efficiency of the cotton stick 400 and the production efficiency of the atomizer 300 by shortening the positioning time of the carrier 200.
[0060] Further, the check unit 22 comprises a base 221 and a check piece 222, and the check piece 222 is arranged on the base 221 and can rotate relative to the base 221 to switch between a first position and a second position.
[0061] In this way, before the carrier 200 passes through the check unit 22, and after the carrier 200 passes through the check unit 22, the check piece 222 is in the first position, and the space between the intercepting unit 21 and the check unit 22 forms a space for intercepting the carrier 200, and the carrier 200 passing through the check unit 22 is limited by the check piece 222 in the first position to move along the direction opposite to the first direction X.
[0062] Further, during the process that the carrier 200 passes through the check unit 22, the check piece 222 is in the second position, and the check piece 222 avoids the carrier 200, so that the carrier 200 passes through the check piece 222 and moves along the first direction X to the intercepting unit 21.
[0063] Further, during the process that the carrier 200 passes through the check unit 22, the check piece 222 rotates and switches from the first position to the second position under the drive of the carrier 200, and switches from the second position to the first position after the carrier 200 passes through the check piece 222. That is, the carrier 200 moves along the first direction X and contacts the check piece 222 to make the check piece 222 rotate and switch from the first position to the second position, so that the carrier 200 can smoothly pass through the check piece 222.
[0064] In one embodiment, the check member 222 is kept in the first position based on gravity, that is, when the check member 222 is not pushed by the carrier 200, the check member 222 will be kept in the first position under the action of gravity, and when the check member 222 is pushed by the carrier 200, the check member 222 will rotate relative to the base 221 and switch from the first position to the second position.
[0065] In another embodiment, the check unit 22 further comprises an elastic member 223 arranged between the base 221 and the check member 222, for driving the check member 222 to keep in the first position.
[0066] Further, the elastic member 223 can be elastically abutted between the base 221 and the check member 222, so as to keep the check member 222 in the first position, wherein the elastic member 223 can be a silica gel pad, a metal spring, a spring, a plastic spring, or other elastic structural member that can be elastically abutted between the base 221 and the check member 222.
[0067] Alternatively, the elastic member 223 can also be elastically stretched between the base 221 and the check member 222, so as to keep the check member 222 in the first position, wherein the elastic member 223 can be a tension spring, an elastic rope, or other elastic structural member that can be elastically stretched between the base 221 and the check member 222.
[0068] Further, in other embodiments, the check member 222 can also be switched between the first position and the second position under the driving of a driving member. Wherein, before the carrier 200 passes the check unit 22, the check member 222 is rotated and switched from the first position to the second position under the driving of the driving member, and after the carrier 200 passes the check member 222, the check member 222 is switched from the second position to the first position.
[0069] Further, the check member 222 comprises a rotating part 2221 and a stop part 2222. The rotating part 2221 is rotatably connected with the base 221, and the stop part 2222 rotates synchronously with the rotating part 2221, so as to switch the check member 222 between the first position and the second position.
[0070] When the check member 222 is in the first position, the stop portion 2222 protrudes in the movement path of the carrier 200 to limit the movement of the carrier 200 in the direction opposite to the first direction X after being blocked by the blocking unit, and when the check member 222 is in the second position, the stop portion 2222 exits the movement path of the carrier 200 to allow the carrier 200 to smoothly pass through the check unit 22.
[0071] Further, the stop portion 2222 is located on the side of the rotating portion 2221 close to the blocking unit 21 along the first direction X, and the elastic member 223 is elastically abutted between the stop portion 2222 and the base 221.
[0072] During the process of the carrier 200 passing through the check member 222 along the first direction X, the carrier 200 will continuously press the check member 222 to make the check member 222 and the base 221 cooperatively compress the elastic member 223, so that the check member 222 is gradually switched from the first position to the second position.
[0073] Further, please refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, the conveying module 10 comprises a track unit 11 and a driving unit. The driving unit is used to drive the carrier 200 to move along the first direction X on the track unit 11, or stop driving the carrier 200 to move on the track unit 11.
[0074] The cotton swab pulling mechanism 100 further comprises a distance detection module 40 and a control module. The control module is electrically connected with the distance detection module 40 and the driving unit respectively, and the control module is used to control the driving unit to drive the carrier 200 to move along the first direction X on the track unit 11 or stop.
[0075] The distance detection module 40 is configured to detect the position of the carrier 200 on the track unit 11, and send a feedback signal to the control module when the carrier 200 approaches the check member 222 to reach a preset position, and the control module is used to control the driving unit to reduce the speed of driving the carrier 200 to move along the first direction X according to the feedback signal, so that the carrier 200 slows down when approaching the blocking unit 21, so that the carrier 200 is subjected to a smaller reaction force when being bounced back by the blocking unit 21, thereby making the carrier 200 have a smaller rebound stroke along the direction opposite to the first direction X, thereby shortening the number of times of reciprocating motion of the carrier 200 between the check unit 22 and the blocking unit 21, and under the continuous driving of the driving unit, finally making the carrier 200 be able to quickly abut against the blocking unit 21 and stop on the track unit 11.
[0076] Further, referring to Figure 5 In combination Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the conveying module 10 further comprises a limiting unit 13, which is arranged on the track unit 11. The limiting unit 13 comprises a pressing plate 131 arranged above the track unit 11, which is used to limit the vertical movement of the carrier 200 in the vertical direction.
[0077] Further, the positioning module 20 further comprises a mounting seat 23 and a jacking unit 24, the mounting seat 23 is located below the track unit 11, and the blocking unit, the non-return unit 22 and the jacking unit 24 are arranged on the mounting seat 23 respectively. The jacking unit 24 comprises a jacking driving device 241 and a top plate 242, the jacking driving device 241 is arranged on the mounting seat 23 and is used to drive the top plate 242 to move between a third position and a fourth position in the vertical direction, so that the top plate 242 drives the carrier 200 located between the non-return unit 22 and the blocking unit 21 to move synchronously in the vertical direction.
[0078] The third position is located below the fourth position in the vertical direction, when the top plate 242 is at the third position, the top plate 242 does not carry the carrier 200, at this time, the carrier 200 is located on the track unit 11.
[0079] When the top plate 242 is at the fourth position, the top plate 242 carries the carrier 200, so that the carrier 200 is separated from the track unit 11, and the pressing plate 131 is pressed on the carrier 200 and / or the top plate 242, so that the carrier 200 is positioned at the stick removal position, so as to facilitate the stick removal module 30 to remove the cotton stick 400 inserted in the atomizer 300 carried by the carrier 200.
[0080] Further, by arranging the jacking unit 24 to cooperate with the limiting unit 13 to limit and separate the carrier 200 from the track unit 11, when the stick removal module 30 removes the cotton stick 400, the structural precision of the track unit 11 is not affected, so that the precision of the track unit 11 conveying the carrier 200 in the first direction X is not affected.
[0081] Further, the top plate 242 is provided with positioning columns 2421 and / or positioning holes 201, and the carrier 200 is provided with corresponding positioning holes 201 and positioning columns 2421 corresponding to the positioning holes 201. During the movement of the top plate 242 from the third position to the fourth position driven by the jacking driving device 241, the positioning columns 2421 on the top plate 242 will gradually be inserted into the corresponding positioning holes 201 on the carrier 200, and the positioning columns 2421 on the carrier 200 will also gradually be inserted into the corresponding positioning holes 201 on the top plate 242, so that the carrier 200 can be supported by the top plate 242 and be limited in the horizontal direction on the top plate 242, to prevent the carrier 200 from being separated from the top plate 242, and also to position the atomizer 300 carried on the carrier 200 in the horizontal direction, so that the stick pulling module 30 can accurately pull out the cotton stick 400.
[0082] Further, the limiting unit 13 further comprises a limiting plate 132 and a limiting driving device 133, the limiting driving device 133 is arranged on the pressing plate 131 or the track unit 11 and is used to drive the limiting plate 132 to move in the vertical direction between a fifth position and a sixth position. Wherein, the fifth position and the sixth position are both above the fourth position in the vertical direction, and the fifth position is below the sixth position in the vertical direction.
[0083] When the top plate 242 is in the fourth position and the limiting plate 132 is in the fifth position, the atomizer 300 carried by the carrier 200 is limited in the corresponding limiting hole 1321 on the limiting plate 132, so that each atomizer 300 is limited between the carrier 200 and the limiting plate 132 in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, thereby accurately positioning the carrier 200 in the stick pulling position. Therefore, at the same time, the cotton stick 400 inserted on each atomizer 300 will be exposed from the limiting plate 132, so as to be pulled out by the stick pulling module 30.
[0084] Further, please refer to Figure 1As shown, the track unit 11 comprises a first track 111 and a second track 112 parallel to each other along the first direction X, and the first track 111 and the second track 112 are arranged in a spaced manner.
