Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of aerosol product processing, and specifically relates to an aerosol product gluing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, the use of aerosol-generating products is increasing. In the production of aerosol-generating products, paper tubes are typically made first, and then sealing paper is placed at the opening of the paper tube to facilitate the aerosol generation process. In related technologies, adhesive is usually applied manually to the opening of the paper tube. However, manual application results in low efficiency for applying adhesive to the paper tube opening and also increases the labor intensity for workers. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an aerosol-generating product gluing device, which at least solves the problems of low efficiency in gluing paper tube openings and high labor intensity for workers.

[0004] This application provides an aerosol product gluing device, which includes: a gluing component, a driving component, a mounting frame, and a material loading mechanism;

[0005] The material-carrying mechanism is located below the mounting frame and is used to support the product to be coated with adhesive.

[0006] The glue application assembly is mounted below the mounting bracket, and the glue application assembly faces the material loading mechanism;

[0007] The drive assembly connects the mounting bracket and the glue application assembly. The drive assembly is used to drive the glue application assembly closer to or further away from the product to be glued, so as to control the distance between the glue application assembly and the product to be glued.

[0008] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket extends along a first direction, and the drive assembly is used to drive the adhesive application assembly to slide on the mounting bracket, and / or to drive the adhesive application assembly to rise and fall relative to the mounting bracket.

[0009] In one embodiment, the driving component includes a first driving element;

[0010] The first driving component is connected to the glue application assembly, and the first driving component is used to drive the glue application assembly to move up and down relative to the mounting bracket.

[0011] In one embodiment, the aerosol-generated product gluing device further includes a glue supply component, and the driving component further includes a second driving element;

[0012] The glue supply assembly is located below the mounting frame, and the glue supply assembly and the material loading mechanism are spaced apart. The second driving member is connected to the glue application assembly, and the second driving member is used to drive the glue application assembly to move relative to the mounting frame between the positions corresponding to the material loading mechanism and the glue supply assembly.

[0013] In one embodiment, the adhesive supply assembly includes an adhesive dispensing assembly and an adhesive storage component;

[0014] The adhesive reservoir is located below the mounting bracket and contains adhesive. At least a portion of the adhesive dispensing assembly is immersed in the adhesive and is used to transfer the adhesive to the dispensing assembly.

[0015] When the drive assembly moves the adhesive brushing assembly to the adhesive dispensing assembly, the adhesive brushing assembly collects the adhesive from the adhesive dispensing assembly.

[0016] In one embodiment, the adhesive dispensing assembly includes an adhesive dispensing roller and an adhesive dispensing drive component;

[0017] The adhesive dispensing drive is connected to the adhesive dispensing roller, at least a portion of the adhesive dispensing roller is immersed in the adhesive, and the adhesive dispensing drive is used to drive the adhesive dispensing roller to rotate so that the adhesive is adhered to the adhesive dispensing roller.

[0018] In one embodiment, the aerosol generating device further includes a scraper.

[0019] The scraper is located upstream of the adhesive dispensing assembly in the rotation direction of the adhesive dispensing roller. The scraper has an end face facing the adhesive dispensing roller and is located in the radial direction of the adhesive dispensing roller. There is a gap between the end face of the scraper and the outer surface of the adhesive dispensing roller, and the gap extends in the axial direction of the adhesive dispensing roller. The scraper is used to control the thickness of the adhesive bonded to the outer surface of the adhesive dispensing roller.

[0020] In one embodiment, the aerosol generating product gluing device further includes a controller first detection element with communication connection, and the material loading mechanism is used to transport the product to be glued along a transport path that intersects the extension direction of the mounting frame.

[0021] The first detection element is disposed on one side of the material loading mechanism's transmission path. The first detection element is used to detect whether the product to be coated with glue has moved to directly below the mounting frame, so that the controller controls the movement of the glue application assembly to apply glue to the product to be coated with glue directly below the mounting frame.

[0022] In one embodiment, the aerosol-generating product coating device further includes a second detection element communicatively connected to the controller;

[0023] The second detection element is disposed on one side of the material loading mechanism's transport path and along the transport direction of the material loading mechanism. The second detection element is distributed at intervals with the first detection element and is located upstream of the first detection element. The second detection element is used to detect whether the product to be coated with glue has passed a preset position so that the controller controls the glue application assembly to take glue from the glue supply assembly. The preset position is adjacent to the mounting frame and is located upstream of the mounting frame.

[0024] In one embodiment, the aerosol generating product adhesive application device further includes a limiting component, which is disposed on the material loading mechanism, and at least a portion of the limiting component is located between the first detection element and the second detection element. The limiting component is used to limit the product to be coated with adhesive in a first direction.

[0025] In this embodiment, since the material-carrying mechanism is located below the mounting frame, and the glue-applying component is also mounted below the mounting frame with the glue-applying component facing the material-carrying mechanism, and the drive component connects the mounting frame and the glue-applying component, once the drive component operates, it can drive the glue-applying component to move, allowing it to approach or move away from the product to be glued. Specifically, when it is necessary to apply glue to the product, the drive component can drive the glue-applying component to approach the product until it reaches the product, allowing it to apply glue. After applying glue, the drive component can drive the glue-applying component away from the product. In other words, in this embodiment, by configuring the glue-applying component, drive component, mounting frame, and material-carrying mechanism, the drive component can drive the glue-applying component to approach or move away from the product, enabling the glue-applying component to apply glue to the product on the material-carrying mechanism. This effectively avoids the problems of low glue-applying efficiency and high labor intensity associated with manual glue application. In this embodiment of the application, manual application of glue can be avoided, thereby improving the glue application efficiency of the product to be glued. Attached Figure Description

[0032] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the aerosol generating product gluing device includes: a gluing component 10, a drive component 20, a mounting frame 30, and a material loading mechanism 40.

[0034] The material loading mechanism 40 is located below the mounting frame 30 and is used to carry the product 001 to be coated with glue. The glue application assembly 10 is installed below the mounting frame 30 and faces the material loading mechanism 40. The drive assembly 20 connects the mounting frame 30 and the glue application assembly 10 and is used to drive the glue application assembly 10 to move closer to or further away from the product 001 to control the distance between the glue application assembly 10 and the product 001.

[0035] In this embodiment, since the material loading mechanism 40 is located below the mounting frame 30, the glue application assembly 10 is mounted below the mounting frame 30 and faces the material loading mechanism 40. The drive assembly 20 connects the mounting frame 30 and the glue application assembly 10. Therefore, once the drive assembly 20 is activated, it can drive the glue application assembly 10 to move, causing the glue application assembly 10 to approach or move away from the product 001 to be glued. Specifically, when it is necessary to apply glue to the product 001, the drive assembly 20 can drive the glue application assembly 10 to approach the product 001 until the glue application assembly 10 moves to the product 001, allowing the glue application assembly 10 to apply glue to the product 001. After the glue application to the product 001 is completed, the drive assembly 20 can drive the glue application assembly 10 away from the product 001. In other words, in this embodiment, by setting up the glue application component 10, the drive component 20, the mounting bracket 30, and the material loading mechanism 40, the drive component 20 can drive the glue application component 10 to move closer to or further away from the product 001 to be glued. This allows the glue application component 10 to apply glue to the product 001 on the material loading mechanism 40, effectively avoiding the problem of low glue application efficiency and high labor intensity for workers caused by manual glue application to the product 001. In other words, this embodiment avoids manual glue application and improves the glue application efficiency of the product 001.

[0036] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the aerosol generating product gluing device may also include a mounting base, and the mounting frame 30 and the glue storage component 60 may be mounted on the mounting base.

[0037] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 30 extends along a first direction X, and the drive assembly 20 is used to drive the adhesive application assembly 10 to slide on the mounting bracket 30, and / or to drive the adhesive application assembly 10 to rise and fall relative to the mounting bracket 30.

[0038] By setting the drive component 20, the glue application component 10 can slide on the mounting frame 30, and / or be driven to rise and fall, causing the position of the glue application component 10 relative to the mounting frame 30 to change. This allows the position of the glue application component 10 to be adjusted when applying glue to the product 001, facilitating glue application. Specifically, the glue application component 10 can first move on the mounting frame 30 to above the product 001, and then the drive component 20 can drive the glue application component 10 to descend relative to the mounting frame 30, moving the glue application component 10 to the product 001, where it applies glue.

[0039] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 20 includes a first drive member 21; the first drive member 21 is connected to the glue application assembly 10 and is used to drive the glue application assembly 10 to move up and down relative to the mounting bracket 30.

[0040] Since the first driving component 21 is connected to the glue application assembly 10, the glue application assembly 10 can be driven to rise and fall relative to the mounting bracket 30 via the first driving component 21. This facilitates the movement of the glue application assembly 10 to the product 001 to be glued. Furthermore, the distance between the glue application assembly 10 and the product 001 to be glued can be controlled via the first driving component 21, thereby controlling the glue thickness applied to the product 001 and ensuring the consistency of the glue thickness applied to the product 001. In other words, by setting the first driving component 21, not only can the glue application assembly 10 be moved to the product 001 to be glued, but the glue thickness applied to the product 001 can also be controlled via the first driving component 21, ensuring a consistent glue thickness on the product 001.

[0041] In related technologies, adhesive is usually applied to the opening of the paper tube manually, i.e., on the product to be glued (001). However, when applying adhesive manually, uneven force by the worker can result in the adhesive not being applied evenly to the opening of the paper tube. If there is too much adhesive, it will overflow. Once the adhesive overflows onto the outer wall of the paper tube, it may cause the sealing component for sealing the opening of the paper tube to stick to the outer wall of the paper tube, resulting in poor appearance of the aerosol product. If too much adhesive overflows onto the inner wall of the paper tube, after the aerosol product is processed, when the user heats and draws the aerosol product, the adhesive adhering to the inner wall of the paper tube will also be heated, producing a large amount of unpleasant odor and adversely affecting the taste of the aerosol product. If there is too little adhesive, the adhesion between the sealing component and the opening of the paper tube will be poor, and the sealing component will easily fall off the opening of the paper tube, causing particles inside the paper tube to spill out, thus causing quality problems in the aerosol product. In this embodiment, by setting a first driving component 21, the first driving component 21 can drive the glue application component 10 to move a relatively precise distance, which is equivalent to accurately controlling the distance between the glue application component 10 and the product 001 to be glued. This ensures that when the glue application component 10 applies glue to the product 001, the glue thickness on the product 001 remains consistent, avoiding the problem of excessive or insufficient glue thickness on the product 001, and improving the quality of the aerosol-generated product.

[0042] In addition, in some embodiments, the aerosol generating product gluing device further includes a glue supply component 500, and the driving component further includes a second driving member; the glue supply component 500 is disposed below the mounting frame 30, and the glue supply component 500 and the material loading mechanism 40 are spaced apart, the second driving member is connected to the glue application component 10, and the second driving member is used to drive the glue application component 10 to move relative to the mounting frame 30 between the positions corresponding to the material loading mechanism 40 and the glue supply component 500.

[0043] Since the glue supply assembly 500 is located below the mounting frame 30, and the second drive component is connected to the glue application assembly 10, once the material loading mechanism 40 transports the product 001 to be glued to the target position, the first drive component 21 can drive the glue application assembly 10 to descend to the glue supply assembly 500, allowing the glue application assembly 10 to collect adhesive from the glue supply assembly 500. Then, the first drive component 21 drives the glue application assembly 10 to rise, followed by the second drive component driving the glue application assembly 10 to move relative to the mounting frame 30, moving the glue application assembly 10 to the material loading mechanism 40. Finally, the first drive component 21 drives the glue application assembly 10 to descend, moving the glue application assembly 10 to the product 001 to be glued, thus allowing the glue application assembly 10 to apply adhesive to the product 001. In other words, by providing the glue supply assembly 500, the glue application assembly 10 can easily collect adhesive for applying glue to the product 001.

[0044] Additionally, in some embodiments, the adhesive dispensing assembly 500 includes an adhesive dispensing assembly 50 and an adhesive storage unit 60; the adhesive storage unit 60 is located below the mounting bracket 30 and contains adhesive, at least a portion of the adhesive dispensing assembly 50 is immersed in the adhesive, and the adhesive dispensing assembly 50 is used to transfer adhesive to the adhesive dispensing assembly 50; when the driving assembly 20 drives the adhesive brushing assembly 10 to move to the adhesive dispensing assembly 50, the adhesive brushing assembly 10 collects adhesive from the adhesive dispensing assembly 50.

[0045] Since the adhesive storage unit 60 is located below the mounting frame 30 and contains adhesive, and at least part of the adhesive dispensing component 50 is immersed in the adhesive, the adhesive dispensing component 50 can adhere the adhesive in the adhesive storage unit 60 to the adhesive dispensing component 50. Thus, once the material loading mechanism 40 transports the product 001 to be coated with adhesive to the target position, the first drive member 21 can drive the adhesive brushing component 10 to descend to the adhesive dispensing component 50, so that the adhesive brushing component 10 can collect the adhesive from the adhesive dispensing component 50. Then, the first drive member 21 drives the adhesive brushing component 10 to rise, and then the second drive member drives the adhesive brushing component 10 to move relative to the mounting frame 30, so that the adhesive brushing component 10 moves to the material loading mechanism 40. Then, the first drive member 21 drives the adhesive brushing component 10 to descend, so that the adhesive brushing component 10 moves to the product 001 to be coated with adhesive, so that the adhesive brushing component 10 can apply adhesive to the product 001. By setting up the glue-collecting component 50 and the glue-storing component 60, the glue-applying component 10 can easily collect the adhesive for applying glue to the product 001 to be glued.

[0046] Additionally, the glue application assembly 10 can have an initial state. When the glue application assembly 10 is in the initial state, it is located directly above the glue taking assembly 50. Once the material loading mechanism 40 transports the product 001 to be glued to the target position, the drive assembly 20 drives the glue application assembly 10 to descend to the glue taking assembly 50, and the glue application assembly 10 collects the adhesive from the glue taking assembly 50. After that, the drive assembly 20 drives the glue application assembly 10 to rise, and causes the glue application assembly 10 to move along the mounting frame 30 to the product 001 to be glued and apply glue to the product 001.

[0047] Of course, when the glue application assembly 10 is in the initial state, the glue application assembly 10 can also be misaligned with the glue taking assembly 50. In this case, once the material loading mechanism 40 transports the product to be glued 001 to the target position, the drive assembly 20 still drives the glue application assembly 10 to descend. Then, the drive assembly 20 drives the glue application assembly 10 to move along the mounting frame 30, and moves the glue application assembly 10 to the glue taking assembly 50, so that the glue application assembly 10 collects the adhesive from the glue taking assembly 50. Then, the drive assembly 20 drives the glue application assembly 10 to rise, and moves the glue application assembly 10 along the mounting frame 30 to the product to be glued 001 to apply glue to the product to be glued 001.

[0048] In addition, the adhesive storage component 60 may have an open receiving cavity that contains adhesive. The size of the receiving cavity may be larger than the size of the adhesive dispensing component 50 to avoid the problem of the receiving cavity obstructing the adhesive dispensing component 50 when it is in operation.

[0049] In addition, both the first driving component 21 and the second driving component can be motors, including but not limited to servo motors and stepper motors. Of course, the first driving component 21 and the second driving component can also be other devices with driving functions, such as cylinders or hydraulic cylinders. The specific types of the first driving component 21 and the second driving component are not limited in this embodiment. When the second driving component is a motor, it can be connected to a lead screw, which in turn connects to a slider. The slider is connected to the glue application assembly 10. When the motor is running, the lead screw rotates, causing the slider to move along its axial direction, thus raising and lowering the glue application assembly 10. This is equivalent to using the principle of the lead screw and nut to convert the rotational motion of the lead screw into the linear motion of the slider, thereby causing the slider to drive the glue application assembly 10 to rise and fall.

[0050] In some embodiments, the adhesive dispensing assembly 50 may include an adhesive dispensing roller 51 and an adhesive dispensing drive 52; the adhesive dispensing drive 52 is connected to the adhesive dispensing roller 51, at least part of the adhesive dispensing roller 51 is immersed in the adhesive, and the adhesive dispensing drive 52 is used to drive the adhesive dispensing roller 51 to rotate so that the adhesive is bonded to the adhesive dispensing roller 51.

[0051] Since the adhesive dispensing drive 52 is connected to the adhesive dispensing roller 51, and at least part of the adhesive dispensing roller 51 is immersed in the adhesive, the adhesive dispensing drive 52 can drive the adhesive dispensing roller 51 to rotate. This allows the adhesive dispensing roller 51 to rotate relative to the adhesive in the adhesive storage unit 60. During the rotation of the adhesive dispensing roller 51, the outer surface of the adhesive dispensing roller 51 can adhere to the adhesive. In other words, by providing the adhesive dispensing drive 52 and the adhesive dispensing roller 51, it is easier for the adhesive to adhere to the adhesive dispensing roller 51, thus facilitating the adhesive application assembly 10 to collect the adhesive from the adhesive dispensing roller 51.

[0052] It should be noted that when the material loading mechanism 40 transports the product 001 to be coated with adhesive to the target position, the drive component 20 drives the adhesive application component 10 to descend to the adhesive collection component 50, and the adhesive application component 10 can be made tangent to the outer surface of the adhesive collection roller 51, thereby causing the adhesive collection drive component 52 to drive the adhesive collection roller 51 to rotate, and the adhesive bonded to the adhesive collection roller 51 can be transferred to the adhesive application component 10, so that the adhesive application component 10 can collect the adhesive from the adhesive collection component 50.

[0053] In addition, the adhesive dispensing drive 52 can be a motor, and the type of motor includes, but is not limited to, stepper motors, servo motors, etc.

[0054] Furthermore, when the glue storage component 60 includes a receiving cavity, the size of the receiving cavity can be larger than the size of the glue dispensing roller 51, thereby creating a gap between the glue dispensing roller 51 and the cavity wall, preventing the receiving cavity from affecting the rotation of the glue dispensing roller 51. The size of this gap can range from 0.1mm to 20mm, and can also range from 1mm to 5mm. This embodiment of the application does not limit the specific dimensions of this gap.

[0055] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device may also include a scraper 70; the scraper 70 is located upstream of the adhesive dispensing assembly 10 in the rotation direction of the adhesive dispensing roller 51, the scraper 70 has an end face facing the adhesive dispensing roller 51, and along the radial direction of the adhesive dispensing roller 51, there is a gap between the end face of the scraper 70 and the outer surface of the adhesive dispensing roller 51, and the gap extends along the axial direction of the adhesive dispensing roller 51, the scraper 70 is used to control the thickness of the adhesive bonded to the outer surface of the adhesive dispensing roller 51.

[0056] Because the scraper 70 is located upstream of the adhesive dispensing assembly 10 in the rotation direction of the adhesive dispensing roller 51, and there is a gap between the end face of the scraper 70 and the outer surface of the adhesive dispensing roller 51, extending along the axial direction of the adhesive dispensing roller 51, once the adhesive dispensing drive 52 drives the adhesive dispensing roller 51 to rotate, adhesive will adhere to the adhesive dispensing roller 51. As the adhesive dispensing roller 51 rotates, the adhesive adhered to the adhesive dispensing roller 51 will pass through the gap. Since the size of the gap is fixed, if the thickness of the adhesive adhered to the adhesive dispensing roller 51 is greater than the size of the gap, the adhesive exceeding the gap will be blocked by the scraper 70, causing this portion of the adhesive to detach from the adhesive dispensing roller 51 and return to the adhesive storage unit 60, thus controlling the thickness of the adhesive on the adhesive dispensing roller 51. In other words, by setting the scraper 70, the thickness of the adhesive on the adhesive dispensing roller 51 can be effectively controlled.

[0057] In addition, in some embodiments, the gap size ranges from 0.1mm to 5mm. This setting can prevent the adhesive thickness on the dispensing roller 51 from being too thin, which would make it difficult for the adhesive application assembly 10 to collect the adhesive from the dispensing roller 51. It can also prevent the adhesive thickness on the dispensing roller 51 from being too thick, which would cause the adhesive application assembly 10 to collect too much adhesive, potentially leading to uneven adhesive application.

[0058] It should be noted that the gap size can be any value between 0.1mm and 5mm. For example, the gap size is 0.1mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.3mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm.

[0059] In some embodiments, the adhesive application assembly 10 may include an adhesive application roller 11, an adhesive application drive 12, and a connecting frame 13; the adhesive application drive 12 is connected to the adhesive application roller 11 and is also connected to the connecting frame 13, the connecting frame 13 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 30, the drive assembly 20 is connected to the connecting frame 13, and the drive assembly 20 is used to drive the connecting frame 13 to slide on the mounting frame 30, so that the connecting frame 13 drives the adhesive application roller 11 to move relative to the mounting frame 30, and / or drives the connecting frame 13 to move, so that the adhesive application roller 11 rises and falls relative to the mounting frame 30.

[0060] Since the glue application drive 12 is connected to the glue application roller 11, the glue application assembly 10 can drive the glue application roller 11 to rotate. Since the glue application drive 12 is connected to the connecting frame 13, and the connecting frame 13 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 30, and the drive assembly 20 is connected to the connecting frame 13, the drive assembly 20 can drive the connecting frame 13 to slide on the mounting frame 30, so that the connecting frame 13 drives the glue application roller 11 to move relative to the mounting frame 30, and / or drives the connecting frame 13 to move, so that the glue application roller 11 rises and falls relative to the mounting frame 30. Specifically, once the material carrier 40 transports the product 001 to be glued to the target position, the drive assembly 20 drives the connecting frame 13 to descend to the glue-collecting assembly 50. Then, the glue-brushing drive 12 drives the glue-brushing roller 11 to rotate, so that the glue-brushing roller 11 can collect the adhesive from the glue-collecting assembly 50 and adhere the adhesive to the glue-brushing roller 11. After that, the drive assembly 20 drives the connecting frame 13 to rise, so that the connecting frame 13 drives the glue-brushing drive 12 and the glue-brushing roller 11 to rise to the mounting frame 30. The drive assembly 20 can then drive the connecting frame 13 to move along the mounting frame 30 to the product 001 to be glued, that is, move the glue-brushing roller 11 to the product 001 to be glued. Thus, the drive assembly 20 can continue to drive the connecting frame 13 to move, while the glue-brushing drive 12 drives the glue-brushing roller 11 to rotate, so that the glue-brushing roller 11 contacts the product 001 to be glued and applies glue to the product 001. By setting up the glue-applying roller 11, the glue-applying drive component 12, and the connecting frame 13, the glue-applying assembly 10 can easily collect the adhesive from the glue-taking assembly 50 and apply the adhesive to the product 001 to be glued.

[0061] It should be noted that when the drive assembly 20 includes a first drive member 21 and a second drive member, both the first drive member 21 and the second drive member are connected to the connecting frame 13. Additionally, a sliding block can be provided on the connecting frame 13, and a sliding groove is provided on the mounting frame 30. The sliding block can be embedded in the sliding groove, and it can also disengage from the sliding groove. That is, when the second drive member drives the connecting frame 13 to rise or fall, once the second drive member drives the connecting frame 13 to fall, the slider on the connecting frame 13 can disengage from the sliding groove. When the second drive member drives the connecting frame 13 to rise, the connecting frame 13 can rise and the slider can re-embed in the sliding groove. Thus, when the first connecting frame 13 moves, the slider on the connecting frame 13 can slide relative to the sliding groove, thereby moving the connecting frame 13 relative to the mounting frame 30, causing the connecting frame 13 to drive the glue-applying roller 11 to move relative to the mounting frame 30.

[0062] In addition, when the adhesive dispensing assembly 50 includes an adhesive dispensing roller 51 and an adhesive dispensing drive 52, and the adhesive application assembly 10 includes an adhesive application roller 11, an adhesive application drive 12, and a connecting frame 13, once the drive assembly 20 drives the connecting frame 13 to descend, causing the connecting frame 13 to drive the adhesive application roller 11 and the adhesive application drive 12 to descend to the adhesive dispensing roller 51, the adhesive application roller 11 can be made tangent to the adhesive dispensing roller 51. Then, the adhesive dispensing drive 52 can drive the adhesive dispensing roller 51 to rotate, and the adhesive application drive 12 can drive the adhesive application roller 11 to rotate. The rotation direction of the adhesive application roller 11 is opposite to the rotation direction of the adhesive dispensing roller 51, so that the adhesive bonded on the adhesive dispensing roller 51 can be transferred to the adhesive application roller 11. The number of rotations of the glue-dispensing roller 51 and the glue-applying roller 11 during rotation can be set according to actual needs. For example, the glue-dispensing roller 51 can rotate 5 times and the glue-applying roller 11 can rotate 5 times; another example is that the glue-dispensing roller 51 can rotate 7 times and the glue-applying roller 11 can rotate 7 times; yet another example is that the glue-dispensing roller 51 can rotate 3 times and the glue-applying roller 11 can rotate 3 times. This embodiment of the application does not limit the specific rotations.

[0063] In addition, the adhesive application drive 12 can be a motor, and the type of motor includes, but is not limited to, a stepper motor and a servo motor.

[0064] In some embodiments, the aerosol-generating product gluing device may also include a controller and a first detection element 80 connected in communication. The material loading mechanism 40 is used to transport the product 001 to be glued along a transmission path that intersects the extension direction of the mounting frame 30. The first detection element 80 is disposed on one side of the transmission path of the material loading mechanism 40. The first detection element 80 is used to detect whether the product 001 to be glued has moved to the direct underside of the mounting frame 30, so that the controller controls the movement of the gluing assembly 10 to apply glue to the product 001 to be glued directly under the mounting frame 30.

[0065] By placing the first detection element 80 on one side of the conveying path of the material-carrying mechanism 40, when the material-carrying mechanism 40 transports the product 001 to be glued, once the product 001 moves directly under the mounting frame 30, it can be detected by the first detection element 80. The first detection element 80 can then send a detection signal to the controller. After receiving the detection signal, the controller can send a drive signal to the drive assembly 20, causing the drive assembly 20 to move the glue-applying assembly 10 relative to the mounting frame 30. In other words, by setting the first detection element 80, it is easy to determine when the drive assembly 20 moves the glue-applying assembly 10, thus facilitating the application of glue to the product 001 by the glue-applying assembly 10.

[0066] It should be noted that the first detection element 80 can be a sensor, and the type of sensor can include, but is not limited to, infrared sensors, photoelectric sensors, etc.

[0067] In addition, when the glue dispensing assembly 50 includes a glue dispensing drive 52, the glue dispensing drive 52 is electrically connected to the controller; when the glue application assembly 10 includes a glue application drive 12, the glue application drive 12 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0068] In addition, in some embodiments, the aerosol generating product gluing device may further include a second detection element 90 that is communicatively connected to the controller; the second detection element 90 is disposed on one side of the conveying path of the material loading mechanism 40 and along the conveying direction of the material loading mechanism 40, the second detection element 90 is distributed at intervals with the first detection element 80 and is located upstream of the first detection element 80, the second detection element 90 is used to detect whether the product 001 to be glued has passed through a preset position, so that the controller controls the gluing component 10 to take glue from the glue supply component 500, the preset position is close to the mounting frame 30 and is located upstream of the mounting frame 30; when the second detection element 90 detects that the product 001 to be glued has passed through the preset position, the controller controls the gluing component 10 to take glue from the glue supply component 500.

[0069] Since the second detection element 90 is located on one side of the conveying path of the material loading mechanism 40, and along the conveying direction of the material loading mechanism 40, the second detection element 90 is distributed at intervals with the first detection element 80 and is located upstream of the first detection element 80. Therefore, both the first detection element 80 and the second detection element 90 can detect the product 001 to be glued. Once the second detection element 90 detects that the product 001 to be glued has passed the preset position, the second detection element 90 can send a detection signal to the controller. After receiving the detection signal, the controller can control the drive assembly 20 to drive the glue application assembly 10 to move, so that the glue application assembly 10 moves above the glue supply assembly 500, and then controls... The glue application assembly 10 descends to the glue application assembly 500, where it picks up glue from the glue supply assembly 500. After picking up the glue, the drive assembly 20 is controlled to raise the glue application assembly 10 to the mounting bracket 30. Once the first detection element 80 detects the product 001 to be glued, it sends a detection signal to the controller. Upon receiving the detection signal, the controller sends a drive signal to the drive assembly 20, causing it to move the glue application assembly 10 relative to the mounting bracket 30. This moves the glue application assembly 10 directly above the product 001, and then lowers it to the product 001 to apply glue. Alternatively, by providing a second detection element 90, which works in conjunction with the first detection element 80, the glue application assembly 10 can easily apply glue to the product 001.

[0070] In addition, in this embodiment, the material loading mechanism 40 can also be connected to the controller, so that when the first detection element 80 detects the product 001 to be coated with glue, the material loading mechanism 40 can be stopped by the controller, so as to avoid the problem that when the glue application component 10 is applying glue to the product 001, both the product 001 to be coated with glue and the glue application component 10 move, which makes it inconvenient for the glue application component 10 to apply glue to the product 001.

[0071] It should be noted that the second detection element 90 can be a sensor, and the type of sensor can include, but is not limited to, infrared sensors, photoelectric sensors, etc.

[0072] In addition, the product 001 to be coated with glue can be placed in the box 002 and the box 002 is placed on the material carrier 40 for transportation. Thus, the length of the box 002 can be greater than or equal to the distance between the first detection element 80 and the second detection element 90, so that the first detection element 80 and the second detection element 90 can detect the box 002 at the same time, thereby determining that the product 001 to be coated with glue has moved to a suitable position.

[0073] In some embodiments, the material loading mechanism 40 may include a transport frame, a transport drive, and a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is mounted on the transport frame, and the transport drive is connected to the conveyor belt. The transport drive drives the conveyor belt to move, thereby transporting the product 001 to be coated with adhesive via the conveyor belt. The first detection element 80 and the second detection element 90 may be mounted on the transport frame, meaning that the first detection element 80 and the second detection element 90 will not move with the movement of the conveyor belt, ensuring that the first detection element 80 and the second detection element 90 can accurately detect the product 001 to be coated with adhesive.

[0074] The transport drive can be electrically connected to the controller, and the second detection element 90 is also electrically connected to the controller. Thus, once both the first detection element 80 and the second detection element 90 detect the product 001 to be glued, both the first detection element 80 and the second detection element 90 send detection signals to the controller. The controller can then control the transport drive to stop running based on the detection signals, so that the product 001 to be glued stops at the glue application position.

[0075] In addition, in some embodiments, the aerosol generating product gluing device may also include a limiting component 100, which is disposed on the material loading mechanism 40, and at least part of the limiting component 100 is located between the first detection element 80 and the second detection element 90. The limiting component 100 is used to limit the product 001 to be glued in the first direction X.

[0076] By setting the limiting component 100 on the material loading mechanism 40, and with at least a portion of the limiting component 100 located between the first detection element 80 and the second detection element 90, once both the first detection element 80 and the second detection element 90 detect the product 001 to be glued, the material loading mechanism 40 stops operating, and the product 001 to be glued can be located at the limiting component 100. Thus, the limiting component 100 limits the product 001 to be glued in the first direction X, preventing it from moving in the first direction X. The driving component 20 drives the glue-applying component 10 to move along the extension direction of the mounting bracket 30 to apply glue to the product 001, i.e., the glue-applying component 10 moves along the first direction X. Therefore, setting the limiting component 100 effectively prevents the product 001 from moving with the glue-applying component 10 while it is applying glue, thus avoiding the problem of the glue-applying component 10 being unable to apply glue easily. That is, by setting the limiting component 100, the product 001 to be glued can be limited in the first direction X, so that the glue application component 10 can apply glue to the product 001.

[0077] In some embodiments, the limiting component 100 may include a limiting plate and a limiting drive member. The limiting plate is connected to the limiting drive member and is disposed on the material loading mechanism 40. The limiting drive member can drive the limiting plate to move, so that the limiting plate switches between a first state and a second state. When the limiting plate is in the first state, the limiting plate is retracted into the material loading mechanism 40. When the limiting plate is in the second state, the limiting plate extends outward from the material loading mechanism 40. With this configuration, once the product 001 to be glued is detected simultaneously by the first detection member 80 and the second detection member 90, the limiting drive member can drive the limiting plate to extend outward from the material loading mechanism 40, so that the limiting plate is in the second state, thereby limiting the product 001 to be glued. After the glue application component 10 finishes applying glue to the product 001, the limiting plate can be retracted into the material loading mechanism 40, so that the limiting plate releases the limitation on the product 001 to be glued, thus limiting the limiting plate to the first state. That is, by setting a limit drive component and a limit plate, the limit drive component can drive the limit plate to move, thereby facilitating the limit plate to limit the product 001 to be coated with glue, and facilitating the limit plate to release the limit on the product 001 to be coated with glue.

[0078] In addition, the types of limit drive components can include, but are not limited to, cylinders and motors. Among them, the types of motors include, but are not limited to, stepper motors and servo motors.

[0079] In some embodiments, the limiting component 100 may also include only a limiting plate, in which case the limiting plate is fixed to the loading mechanism 40. When the loading mechanism 40 includes a transport frame, the limiting plate may be fixed to the transport frame.
