Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic cigarette processing, and specifically to a tooling for processing electronic cigarette casings. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic cigarettes are a type of non-combustible electronic cigarette. Their effects are similar to regular cigarettes, providing a stimulant effect, satisfying nicotine cravings, and producing feelings of pleasure and relaxation, but they are not conducive to quitting smoking. They consist of a casing, mouthpiece, filter, and flavor cartridge. Common electronic cigarette casings include... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it mainly includes a housing 01, and an annular groove 02 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 01. When processing it, a three-jaw chuck or other clamping fixture is usually used for positioning. However, since the housing is curved and has a thin-walled structure, it is prone to deformation during clamping, which affects the size of the housing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tooling for processing electronic cigarette casings, which can stably fix the electronic cigarette casings and avoid clamping deformation.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An electronic cigarette casing processing fixture includes a mounting plate, a power component on the mounting plate, a pressing rod on the power component, and a spreading sleeve on the mounting plate located outside the pressing rod. The outer diameter of the pressing rod increases from the side closer to the power component to the side farther away from the power component. The spreading sleeve is used by the pressing rod to press and spread the pressing rod to contact the inner wall of the electronic cigarette casing.

[0006] During processing, the e-cigarette shell is first placed on the expansion sleeve. The power component drives the extrusion rod to move, and the extrusion rod expands the expansion sleeve. The expansion sleeve is then pressed against the inner wall of the e-cigarette shell, thus fixing the e-cigarette shell onto the expansion sleeve. By providing internal support to the shell, instead of clamping it from the outside, problems such as clamping deformation are avoided.

[0007] In one specific implementation scheme, a positioning sleeve is provided between the mounting plate and the expansion sleeve, and a stepped surface is formed between the positioning sleeve and the expansion sleeve, with the stepped surface of the positioning sleeve fitting against the groove wall of the annular groove.

[0008] During installation, when the outer shell is placed on the expansion sleeve, the annular groove is simultaneously placed on the positioning sleeve. This facilitates the positioning and installation of the outer shell and improves the accuracy of the installation.

[0009] In one specific implementation, the power assembly includes a drive member and a drive rod connected to the drive member. The drive rod is provided with a push ring, and the inner sidewall of the positioning sleeve is provided with an annular cavity for the push ring to move.

[0010] The driving component moves the driving rod downward, pushing the ring to move in the ring cavity. The ring cavity can limit the movement of the pushing ring to prevent deviation from the target.

[0011] In one specific implementation, the drive rod is threadedly connected to the extrusion rod. This threaded connection facilitates the disassembly and installation of the extrusion rod and drive rod, allowing for adaptation to housings of different shapes.

[0012] In one specific implementation, the spreading sleeve includes a ring body disposed on the top wall of the positioning sleeve, the ring body being provided with a plurality of spreading pieces, the inner sidewall of the spreading pieces being fitted with the outer sidewall of the extrusion rod, and a gap being left between adjacent spreading pieces.

[0013] When the drive rod moves the extrusion rod downward, the extrusion rod drives the unfolding piece to unfold, so that the unfolding piece can be attached to the inner wall of the shell, thereby stably fixing the shell.

[0014] In one specific implementation, a connecting plate is provided between the positioning sleeve and the mounting plate, and the connecting plate is detachably connected to the mounting plate.

[0015] The connecting plate and the mounting plate are detachably connected, which makes it easy to disassemble and install structures such as positioning sleeves. It also allows for the replacement of positioning sleeves, expansion sleeves and compression rods of different shapes, which is beneficial for adapting to shells of different shapes.

[0016] In one specific implementation, the angle between any axial tangential plane of the extrusion rod and the axial movement trajectory direction of the extrusion rod is 0.5°-1.5°.

[0017] The extrusion rod, with its larger upper section and smaller lower section, allows for better fit to the inner wall of the outer casing.

[0018] This invention employs an internal support fixing method, using a power component to drive an increasing outer diameter extrusion rod to open the opening sleeve and make it contact the inner wall of the electronic cigarette shell, replacing the traditional external clamping. This effectively avoids the deformation problem caused by uneven external clamping force, and significantly improves the product processing yield. Attached Figure Description
