Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of manufacturing riveting equipment for electronic atomizers, and more particularly to a riveting fixture specifically for electrodes and cartridge holders. Background Technology

[0002] As a modern consumer electronics product, the design and manufacturing of the internal components of an electronic atomizer are crucial to its overall performance. Among these components, the cartridge holder is a key element that supports and secures the core atomizing mechanism. The cartridge holder not only provides physical support for the cartridge but also transfers electrical energy from the main body of the device to the atomizer coil, enabling the heating of the liquid and the generation of vapor. The cartridge holder is designed with specific positions for mounting the electrodes, ensuring accurate connection between the electrodes and the battery and other circuit components, guaranteeing stable current transmission. To ensure efficient operation of the electronic atomizer, the electrodes must be precisely riveted to their designated positions on the cartridge holder during the manufacturing process.

[0003] Currently, in the production of e-cigarettes, the method of riveting the electrodes to the cartridge holder primarily relies on manual operation. Workers first manually place the electrodes in pre-set positions on the cartridge holder, then use specialized tools to complete the riveting process. While this method is direct and flexible, allowing for fine-tuning based on actual conditions, it also means that the entire process is highly dependent on the operator's skill and experience. In addition, semi-automated processes are also used, where some steps are assisted by mechanical equipment, but manual intervention is still required to adjust or confirm certain key operations. Both fully manual and semi-automated processes, to some extent, combine human flexibility to address different manufacturing needs.

[0004] However, these existing methods have significant limitations. Due to inevitable variations in work techniques during manual assembly, it's difficult to guarantee the concentricity of the electrode and cartridge holder, and the riveting depth also varies, posing a challenge to product quality control. This inconsistency can lead to poor contact, short circuits, and other problems, affecting user experience and even creating safety hazards. Furthermore, this labor-intensive work model is not only inefficient but, with rising labor costs, will significantly increase manufacturing costs in the long run. Utility Model Content

[0053] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this application, a riveting fixture for electrodes and cartridge holders is proposed. This riveting fixture may include: an operating table 1; a first adjusting mechanism 3 disposed on the operating table 1; a fixing mechanism 2 movably disposed on the first adjusting mechanism 3 along a first direction, the first adjusting mechanism 3 driving the fixing mechanism 2 to move along the first direction, the fixing mechanism 2 being used to place a fixture for holding the cartridge holder; a second adjusting mechanism 4 disposed on the operating table 1, located above the first adjusting mechanism 3; a riveting device movably disposed on the second adjusting mechanism 4 along a second direction, the second adjusting mechanism 4 driving the riveting device to move along the second direction, the riveting device being used to rivet the electrode into the cartridge holder on the fixture, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction; and a feeding mechanism 8 disposed on the operating table 1, arranged along the second direction on one side of the fixing mechanism 2, for supplying electrodes to the operating table 1.

[0055] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, a display screen and a start button can be set on one side of the operating table 1. The display screen can switch riveting modes. For example, two fixed seats 22 are provided on the operating table 1 along the second direction, so that the second adjustment mechanism 4 can be selected through the display screen to drive the riveting equipment to move above one of the fixed seats 22 for riveting. The start button is used to control the opening and closing of the riveting fixture. Since several cartridge holders can be placed on the fixture, the fixing mechanism 2 can be moved along the first direction through the first adjustment mechanism 3, so that the riveting equipment can be aligned with each cartridge holder arranged along the first direction on the fixture. The second adjustment mechanism 4 can drive the riveting equipment to move along the second direction, so that the riveting equipment can be aligned with each cartridge holder arranged along the second direction on the fixture. In use, after the riveting device picks up the electrode from the feeding mechanism 8, it moves to above the fixed seat 22 via the second adjusting mechanism 4. The first adjusting mechanism 3 adjusts the position of the fixed seat 22 in the first direction, and the second adjusting mechanism 4 adjusts the position of the riveting device in the second direction so that the riveting device is aligned with the target cartridge holder on the fixture. The riveting device runs to rivet the electrode into the target cartridge holder. After riveting is completed, the riveting device moves to the initial position. The second adjusting mechanism 4 drives the riveting device to move above the feeding mechanism 8 to pick up the electrode again, and repeats the above actions. After all the cartridge holders in the fixture are riveted to the motor, a new fixture is replaced on the fixed mechanism 2. The new fixture holds the cartridge holders that have not been installed with the motor. By adopting the dedicated riveting fixture for electrodes and cartridge holders of this application, the automation level of the electronic atomizer production process is effectively improved. The precise adjustment of the first adjustment mechanism 3 and the second adjustment mechanism 4, as well as the riveting function of the riveting equipment, can ensure the concentricity and depth of the electrodes riveted into the cartridge holder, avoiding the problem of poor electrode contact caused by riveting angle deviation or mismatch in depth.

[0056] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first adjustment mechanism 3 includes: a first slide 31 extending along a first direction; a first slider 32 slidably mounted on the first slide 31 and capable of sliding on the first slide 31 along the first direction; a fixing mechanism 2 mounted on the first slider 32 and moving synchronously with the first slider 32; and a first drive assembly mounted on the first slide 31 and connected to the first slider 32, the first drive assembly driving the first slider 32 to slide on the first slide 31.

[0057] The first drive assembly includes: a first motor 33 mounted on a first slide 31; a first drive wheel 34 disposed on the output shaft of the first motor 33 and rotating synchronously with the output shaft of the first motor 33; a first driven wheel 35 rotatably disposed on the first slide 31, the first driven wheel 35 being spaced apart along a first direction on one side of the first drive wheel 34; and a first timing belt 36 meshing with the first drive wheel 34 and the first driven wheel 35, and the first timing belt 36 being connected to the first slider 32.

[0058] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the first motor 33 can be a servo motor. The housing of the first motor 33 is fixedly installed on the side of the first slide 31 opposite to the first slider 32 by fasteners, while the output shaft of the first motor 33 extends through the first slide 31 to the other side with the first slider 32. The rotation of the output shaft of the first motor 33 can drive the first driving wheel 34 to rotate. The first driving wheel 34 drives the first driven wheel 35 to rotate through the first synchronous belt 36. Since the first driving wheel 34 and the first driven wheel 35 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, the first synchronous belt 36 is tensioned on the first slide 31 along the first direction through the first driving wheel 34 and the first synchronous wheel. The first synchronous belt 36 is connected to the first slider 32, so that the first synchronous belt 36 can drive the first slider 32 to slide on the first slide 31 along the first direction. The fixing mechanism 2 is installed on the first slider 32 and moves synchronously with the first slider 32, realizing the control of the fixing mechanism 2 to move in the first direction by the first motor 33. In use, the moving distance of the fixing mechanism 2 can be determined by controlling the number of rotations of the first motor 33.

[0059] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the second adjustment mechanism 4 includes: a slide bracket 40 disposed on the operating table 1; a second slide 41 mounted on the slide bracket 40 and located above the fixing mechanism 2, the second slide 41 extending along a second direction; a second slider 42 slidably mounted on the second slide 41 and capable of sliding on the second slide 41 along the second direction, a riveting device mounted on the second slider 42 and the riveting device being in the same position as the second slider 42; and a second drive assembly mounted on the second slide 41 and connected to the second slider 42, the second drive assembly driving the second slider 42 to slide on the second slide 41.

[0060] The second drive assembly includes: a second motor 43 mounted on a second slide 41; a second drive wheel 44 disposed on the output shaft of the second motor 43 and rotating synchronously with the output shaft of the second motor 43; a second driven wheel 45 rotatably disposed on the second slide 41 and spaced apart on one side of the second drive wheel 44 along a second direction; and a second timing belt 46 meshing with the second drive wheel 44 and the second driven wheel 45, and the second timing belt 46 being connected to the second slider 42.

[0061] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the operating table 1 is provided with a slide support 40, and the riveting equipment is installed on the slide support 40 through the second adjustment mechanism 4, so as to realize the setting of the riveting equipment above the fixing mechanism 2 and the feeding mechanism 8. The second motor 43 can be a servo motor. The housing of the second motor 43 is fixedly mounted on the side of the second slide 41 opposite to the second slider 42 using fasteners. The output shaft of the second motor 43 extends through the second slide 41 to the other side where the second slider 42 is located. Rotation of the output shaft of the second motor 43 drives the second driving wheel 44 to rotate. The second driving wheel 44, through the second synchronous belt 46, causes the second driven wheel 45 to rotate. Since the second driving wheel 44 and the second driven wheel 45 are spaced apart along a second direction, the second synchronous belt 46 is tensioned on the second slide 41 along the second direction via the second driving wheel 44 and the second synchronous wheel. The second synchronous belt 46 is connected to the second slider 42, allowing it to drive the second slider 42 to slide along the second direction on the second slide 41. The riveting device is mounted on the second slider 42 and moves synchronously with it, thus realizing the control of the riveting device's movement in the second direction via the second motor 43. In use, the moving distance of the riveting device can be determined by controlling the number of rotations of the second motor 43.

[0062] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing mechanism 2 includes: a base 21, slidably disposed on the first adjusting mechanism 3; a fixing seat 22, mounted above the base 21, the fixing seat 22 having a mounting position for placing the fixture; and a first cylinder 23, mounted on the fixing seat 22, located on one side of the mounting position, the piston rod of the first cylinder 23 extending and retracting toward the mounting position so that the fixture can be clamped and fixed by the first cylinder 23 and the side wall of the mounting position.

[0063] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the base 21 is mounted on the first slider 32 by fasteners, so that the base 21 can drive the fixed seat 22 to move synchronously with the first slider 32. The mounting position on the fixed seat 22 can be formed by limiting posts 24 erected on the fixed seat 22, so that a mounting position for placing the fixture can be formed by multiple limiting posts 24. The mounting position has a notch on one side, and the notch faces the first cylinder 23 mounted on the fixed seat 22. The piston rod of the first cylinder 23 extends and retracts in the direction of the mounting position. When the piston rod of the first cylinder 23 extends, it can enter the mounting position through the notch, so that the fixture placed in the mounting position is fixed by clamping through the cooperation of the piston rod of the first cylinder 23 and the limiting post 24.

[0064] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the riveting device includes: a third adjusting mechanism 5 connected to a second adjusting mechanism 4, the second adjusting mechanism 4 driving the third adjusting mechanism 5 to move along a second direction, the third adjusting mechanism 5 extending along a third direction perpendicular to the operating table 1; a buffer mechanism 6 disposed on the third adjusting mechanism 5, the third adjusting mechanism 5 driving the buffer mechanism 6 to move along a third direction, the buffer mechanism 6 being used to counteract the force applied in the third direction; and a riveting mechanism 7 disposed on the buffer mechanism 6, the third adjusting mechanism 5 driving the riveting mechanism 7 to move along a third direction, the riveting mechanism 7 being able to correspond to the fixing mechanism 2 or the feeding mechanism 8 along the third direction.

[0065] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the riveting mechanism 7 can move along a third direction via the third adjusting mechanism 5, thereby allowing the riveting mechanism 7 to approach or move away from the fixing mechanism 2 and the feeding mechanism 8 on the operating table 1. When the riveting mechanism 7 approaches the feeding mechanism 8, it can complete the operation of picking up the electrode, while when the riveting mechanism 7 approaches the fixing mechanism 2, it can complete the riveting operation of the electrode to the cartridge holder in the fixture. In this embodiment, the riveting mechanism 7 is mounted on the third adjusting mechanism 5 via a buffer mechanism 6. The buffer mechanism 6 can provide flexible buffering when the riveting mechanism 7 contacts the electrode or drives the motor to contact the cartridge holder, thereby realizing that when the riveting mechanism 7 moves to the picking position or the riveting position, it can not only fit tightly against the target product, but also avoid damage to the target product due to rigid contact through the buffering of the buffer mechanism 6. It should be explained that the target product is the electrode or the cartridge holder.

[0066] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the third adjustment mechanism 5 includes: a connecting plate 50 disposed on the second adjustment mechanism 4, the second adjustment mechanism 4 being capable of driving the connecting plate 50 to slide along a second direction; a third slide 51 mounted on the side of the connecting plate 50 opposite to the second adjustment mechanism 4, the third slide 51 extending along a third direction; a third slider 52 slidably mounted on the third slide 51, capable of sliding along the third direction on the third slide 51; and a third drive assembly mounted on the third slide 51 and connected to the third slider 52, the third drive assembly driving the third slider 52 to slide on the third slide 51.

[0067] The third drive assembly includes: a third motor 53 mounted on a third slide 51; a third drive wheel 54 disposed on the output shaft of the third motor 53 and rotating synchronously with the output shaft of the third motor 53; a third driven wheel 55 rotatably disposed on the third slide 51 and spaced apart along a third direction on one side of the third drive wheel 54; and a third synchronous belt 56 meshing with the third drive wheel 54 and the third driven wheel 55, and the third synchronous belt 56 being connected to the third slider 52.

[0068] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the third slide 51 is mounted on the second adjustment mechanism 4 via a connecting plate 50, so that the connecting plate 50 can be mounted on the second slider 42 via fasteners, thereby enabling the connecting plate 50 and the second slider 42 to move synchronously. The third motor 53 can also be a servo motor. The housing of the third motor 53 is fixedly mounted on the side of the third slide 51 opposite to the third slider 52 by fasteners, while the output shaft of the third motor 53 extends through the third slide 51 to the other side with the third slider 52. The rotation of the output shaft of the third motor 53 can drive the third driving wheel 54 to rotate. The third driving wheel 54 drives the third driven wheel 55 to rotate through the third synchronous belt 56. Since the third driving wheel 54 and the third driven wheel 55 are arranged at intervals along the third direction, the third synchronous belt 56 is tensioned on the third slide 51 along the third direction through the third driving wheel 54 and the third synchronous wheel. The third synchronous belt 56 is connected to the third slider 52, so that the third synchronous belt 56 can drive the third slider 52 to slide along the third direction on the third slide 51. The buffer mechanism 6 is mounted on the third slider 52 and moves synchronously with the third slider 52, realizing the control of the buffer mechanism 6 to move in the third direction by the third motor 53. In use, the moving distance of the buffer mechanism 6 can be determined by controlling the number of rotations of the third motor 53.

[0069] Furthermore, refer to Figures 6 to 8As shown, in some embodiments, the buffer mechanism 6 includes: a fourth slide 61, disposed on a third adjusting mechanism 5, the third adjusting mechanism 5 being able to drive the fourth slide 61 to slide along a third direction, the fourth slide 61 having a first mounting seat 611 on its side wall away from the third adjusting mechanism 5; a fourth slider 62, slidably mounted on the fourth slide 61, and capable of sliding along a third direction on the fourth slide 61; a fifth slide 63, mounted on the fourth slider 62, moving synchronously with the fourth slider 62, the fifth slide 63 having a second mounting seat 631 on its side wall away from the fifth slide 63; a first elastic member 67, elastically supported between the first mounting seat 611 and the fifth slide 63, the fifth slide 63 compressing the first elastic member 67 when it approaches the first mounting seat 611 along a third direction; and a first mounting plate 65, mounted on the fifth slide 63. Mounting plate 65 has a first mounting hole 651 and a clearance through hole 652; a fifth slider 64 is slidably mounted on a fifth slide table 63 and can slide on the fifth slide table 63 in a third direction; a second mounting plate 66 has an L-shaped structure, with a connecting part 661 and a mounting part 662. The connecting part 661 is mounted on the fifth slider 64 and extends in the clearance through hole 652 in the third direction. The mounting part 662 is located on the side of the first mounting plate 65 away from the first mounting seat 611, and the mounting part 662 has a second mounting hole 663, which corresponds to the first mounting hole 651 in the third direction; a second elastic member 68 is elastically supported between the second mounting seat 631 and the second mounting plate 66. When the second mounting plate 66 approaches the second mounting seat 631 in the third direction, the second mounting plate 66 compresses the second elastic member 68.

[0070] Furthermore, refer to Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the riveting mechanism 7 includes: a second cylinder 71, mounted on a first mounting plate 65, the piston rod of the second cylinder 71 being located in a first mounting hole 651, the piston rod of the second cylinder 71 extending and retracting in a third direction toward a second mounting hole 663 to provide riveting force; and an adsorption component 72, having a force-receiving part 721 and a suction nozzle part 722, the force-receiving part 721 overlapping the second mounting plate 66, the piston rod of the second cylinder 71 abutting against the force-receiving part 721, and the suction nozzle part 722 being located in the second mounting hole 663 for adsorbing electrodes.

[0071] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the adsorption component 72 is connected to a negative pressure device so that the mouthpiece 722 can pick up the electrode by adsorption. The piston rod of the second cylinder 71 extends and abuts against the force-receiving part 721, which can drive the adsorption component 72 to move downward in a third direction to complete the riveting action, thereby riveting the electrode on the mouthpiece 722 into the cartridge holder.

[0072] When the adsorption component 72 contacts the electrode or the electrode on the adsorption component 72 contacts the cartridge holder, the second mounting plate 66 drives the fifth slider 64 to move along the third direction on the fifth slide table 63 towards the second mounting base 631, so that the second mounting plate 66 squeezes the second elastic component 68 with elastic compression, thereby effectively avoiding damage caused by the adsorption component 72 rigidly contacting the electrode or the electrode on the adsorption component 72 rigidly contacting the cartridge holder.

[0073] When the piston rod of the second cylinder 71 contacts the electrode due to the adsorption component 72 or the electrode on the adsorption component 72 contacts the cartridge holder, the first mounting plate 65 drives the fourth slider 62 to move closer to the first mounting seat 611 along the third direction on the fourth slide table 61. This causes the first mounting plate 65 to compress the first elastic component 67, thereby buffering the second cylinder 71 when it receives the force on the force-bearing part 721 through the first elastic component 67 along the third direction. This prevents damage caused by the second cylinder 71 pressing against the force-bearing part 721, which would otherwise result in the adsorption component 72 rigidly contacting the electrode or the electrode on the adsorption component 72 rigidly contacting the cartridge holder.

[0074] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: two sensing components 9, which are arranged at intervals along a third direction on the third adjustment mechanism 5, and the two sensing components 9 are signal connected to the third adjustment mechanism 5; and a triggering component 10, which is disposed on the buffer mechanism 6 and is located between the two sensing components 9.

[0075] When the triggering component 10 contacts the corresponding sensing component 9, the sensing component 9 sends a braking signal to the third adjustment mechanism 5 to limit the movement distance of the buffer mechanism 6 on the third adjustment mechanism 5.

[0076] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the two sensing components 9 can be photoelectric switches. When the triggering component 10 moves to the corresponding sensing component 9 through the buffer mechanism 6, it triggers the sensing component 9. The sensing component 9 can send a braking signal to the second motor 43, and the second motor 43 stops running after receiving the braking signal. Thus, the maximum movement distance of the buffer mechanism 6 on the third adjustment mechanism 5 can be limited by the interval distance between the two sensing components 9. This achieves movement control of the buffer mechanism 6 on the third adjustment mechanism 5, preventing the buffer mechanism 6 from sliding out of the third slide table 51, and also limiting the excessive compression of the electrode or cartridge holder by the riveting mechanism 7.

[0077] Furthermore, refer to Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 8 includes: a storage bin 81, which has a built-in storage space for placing electrodes, and a discharge port 810 on the storage bin 81; a conveying track 82, which is disposed in the discharge port 810 and extends along a first direction for conveying electrodes in the storage bin 81; and a distribution plate 83, which is rotatably disposed at the end of the conveying track 82, and has a plurality of loading positions on the distribution plate 83. The distribution plate 83 can be rotated to allow the loading positions to engage with the conveying track 82, and the loading positions are used to receive electrodes transported by the conveying track 82.

[0078] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the conveying track 82 can transport the electrodes stored in the storage space of the storage bin 81 to the distribution plate 83 through the discharge port 810. Rotating the distribution plate 83 can connect the bearing position 831 with the end of the conveying track 82, so that the electrodes transported on the conveying track 82 can enter the bearing position 831. In this embodiment, a bearing position 831 can be set on the distribution plate 83. In use, the distribution plate 83 rotates to connect the empty bearing position 831 with the end of the conveying track 82. The conveying track 82 transports the electrodes to the bearing position 831. The distribution plate 83 is rotated again to rotate the bearing position 831 to a position that is in a straight line with the adsorption component 72 along the second direction. After the adsorption component 72 removes the electrodes from the bearing position 831, the distribution plate 83 is rotated to connect the empty bearing position 831 with the end of the conveying track 82 again for feeding, thus realizing the feeding of materials to the riveting equipment.

[0079] In some embodiments, multiple bearing positions 831 can be provided on the distributing plate 83. In use, the distributing plate 83 rotates to connect an empty bearing position to the end of the conveying track 82. The conveying track 82 transports the motor to the bearing position 831. The distributing plate 83 is rotated again to move the bearing position 831 to a position that is in a straight line with the adsorption component 72 along the second direction. At the same time, the next empty bearing position 831 connects to the end of the conveying mechanism, and so on. This allows the distributing plate 83 to continuously feed materials on the conveying track 82 by rotating, thereby avoiding the technical problem of untimely material supply. This method can also be used when multiple riveting devices are configured on the second adjusting mechanism 4.
