Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product assembly technology, specifically to a device for transferring and assembling fiberglass tubes. Background Technology
[0002] In the assembly process of electronic e-liquid cups, the fiberglass tubes are usually assembled manually by workers using corresponding molds to match the heating wire. After the assembly is completed, the subsequent assembly of the oil cotton and other components begins, resulting in the finished e-liquid cup.
[0003] During the fiberglass tube assembly process, a mold is used to guide the fiberglass tube onto the bottom heating wire. Manual touching of the fiberglass tube by hand for extended periods may cause some broken fiberglass tube fragments to adhere to the skin, posing a health hazard. Additionally, there may be issues with improper assembly of the fiberglass tube, resulting in defective products being carried over to the next process, impacting the entire process. This leads to a higher number of defective products during processing, increasing the number of rework and repairs, failing to meet the demands for high-quality processing, and affecting efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address some or all of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a device for transferring and assembling fiberglass tubes, including a fiberglass tube flattening assembly, a clamping and transferring fiberglass tube assembly, and a central fiberglass rod flattening assembly. The fiberglass tube flattening assembly includes a cylinder fixing plate, a cylinder, a cylinder connecting plate, a T-shaped plate, and a pressure plate. The clamping and transferring fiberglass tube assembly has a base plate, on which an electric cylinder, a bushing, and an electric cylinder reinforcing plate are provided. The electric cylinder has a floating joint connecting block, the bushing has a guide shaft, and the guide shaft has a semi-square block connecting two guide shafts and a guide shaft base plate. The block connects to the guide shaft base plate, and the guide shaft base plate has a finger cylinder fixing block, a fiberglass tube guide plate, and a slide rail. The slide rail has a clamping assembly. The central fiberglass rod flattening assembly includes a repeating cylinder, a repeating cylinder fixing plate, a repeating cylinder reinforcing plate, and a rake-shaped mechanism.
[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the telescopic movable part of the cylinder is connected to the cylinder connecting plate, the cylinder connecting plate is connected to the T-shaped plate, and the T-shaped plate is directly connected to the pressure plate.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the electric cylinder is connected to the base plate, the electric cylinder reinforcing plate can reinforce the electric cylinder, and the two ends of the base plate are respectively connected to the fiberglass tube flattening assembly and the central fiberglass rod flattening assembly.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the finger cylinder fixing block is fixedly connected to the finger cylinder, and the finger cylinder is directly connected to the clamping assembly.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the clamping assembly also includes a pin arrangement mechanism, which is mounted on the guide shaft base plate. The clamping mechanism assembly is provided with a clamping head, and the clamping head is provided with a contoured surface.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the rake-shaped mechanism consists of an upper connecting plate, a lower connecting plate and a pressure head, wherein a spring is provided on the pressure head, and the spring provides cushioning during the pressing process.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] This invention, through the cooperation of a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a slider, a clamping assembly, and a rake-shaped mechanism, enables partial assembly of the oil cup, assembling the fiberglass tube and heating wire. This facilitates subsequent assembly of the oil cotton and empty oil cup. Using a machine to replace manual operation significantly improves processing efficiency and reduces labor costs. In operation, the production line carries the tray to the position of the blocking cylinder. The sensor detects the arrival of the tray and lifts it, indicating that the fiberglass tube preparation is complete. The entire device then begins to move, moving until the pressure plate of the fiberglass tube flattening assembly is positioned directly above the fiberglass tube. The cylinder receives the signal and extends, pressing the fiberglass tube to the same level before retracting. Simultaneously with the downward pressure of the fiberglass tube flattening assembly, the position of the clamping and transferring fiberglass tube assembly aligns with the position of the production line tray, and it begins to move downward, assembling the previously flattened fiberglass tube onto the heating wire in the tray. After the fiberglass tube flattening assembly retracts its cylinder, the fiberglass tube clamping and transfer assembly moves above the fiberglass tube, replacing the flattening assembly. The electric cylinder receives a signal and moves the clamping assembly downwards. Guided by the pin header, the fiberglass tube is inserted into the pin header, and the clamping assembly, under the action of the finger cylinder, firmly secures the fiberglass tube. Simultaneously with the clamping and transfer assembly, the central fiberglass rod flattening assembly's composite cylinder extends. The rake mechanism, driven by the composite cylinder, moves downwards and presses onto the heating wire tray on the production line where the central fiberglass rod is not pressed down. Springs and buffers simultaneously cushion the pressure, pressing the central fiberglass rod down to the same height as the heating wire. Finally, the clamping and transfer assembly returns to a safe position and moves onto the tray on the production line. Upon reaching the designated position, the electric cylinder descends and releases the clamp, assembling the fiberglass tube onto the heating wire. Through the simultaneous downward pressing movement of the three components in pairs, they work together to complete the transfer and assembly of the fiberglass tube. Attached Figure Description

It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this invention can be combined with other embodiments.
[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the fiberglass tube flattening assembly is connected to the cylinder fixing bracket 5. Figure 3The clamping and transporting fiberglass tube assembly is directly connected. The cylinder 4 is fixed on the cylinder fixing frame 5. The cylinder 4 has a cylinder connecting plate 3 on its telescopic movable part. The cylinder connecting plate 3 has a T-shaped plate 2. The T-shaped plate 2 has a pressure plate 1 that directly acts on the fiberglass tube. Figure 3 The fiberglass tube clamping and transfer assembly includes a base plate 6. The base plate 6 serves as a component connecting the fiberglass tube flattening assembly and the central fiberglass rod flattening assembly. It is provided with an auxiliary connecting block 11, a bushing 7, and an electric cylinder 10. A guide shaft 8 is installed on the bushing 7. One end of the guide shaft 8 is connected to a semi-square block 9, and the other end is connected to a guide shaft base plate 14. The electric cylinder 10 is connected to the guide shaft base plate 14 through a floating joint 12 and a square block 13. The guide shaft base plate 14 is provided with a finger cylinder fixing block 18, a slide rail 16, and a needle arrangement mechanism as shown in Figure 5 (right). A finger cylinder 17 is connected and installed on the finger cylinder fixing block 18. A clamping assembly 15 is provided on the slide rail 16. The extendable finger of the finger cylinder 17 is connected to the clamping assembly 15. Figure 4 It is a central fiberglass rod flattening assembly. The slider connecting plate 19 connects to the clamping and transferring fiberglass tube assembly. It is equipped with a slider 21, a double-acting cylinder fixing plate 24, a double-acting cylinder reinforcing plate 25, and a buffer 20. The double-acting cylinder fixing plate 24 is equipped with a buffer 23 and a composite cylinder 26. The composite cylinder 26 is connected to the floating joint connecting plate 28 through a floating joint 27. The floating joint connecting plate 28 is equipped with a slider connecting plate 22, a reinforcing plate 29, and a rake mechanism 30. As shown in Figure 5 (left), the rake mechanism 30 is equipped with an upper connecting plate 31, a lower connecting plate 32, a spring 34, and a pressure head 33.
[0023] The central fiberglass rod flattening assembly consists of a reciprocating cylinder, a reciprocating cylinder fixing plate, and a reciprocating cylinder reinforcing plate forming the power structure; a slider, a slider connecting plate, a floating joint connecting plate, and two reinforcing plates forming the driven structure; and a rake-shaped mechanism as the functional structure. This device realizes the transfer and assembly process of fiberglass tubes.
[0024] The fiberglass tubes cut by the external device are flattened by the extension and retraction of cylinder 4, which controls the up and down movement of the pressure plate, keeping the fiberglass tubes at a constant horizontal height. The output end of the finger cylinder is connected to the clamping assembly, which, with the cooperation of the slide rail, drives the clamping assembly to open and close the fiberglass tube.
[0025] A pair of auxiliary connecting blocks 11 installed before and after the electric cylinder are respectively connected to the fiberglass tube flattening assembly and the central fiberglass rod flattening assembly, and at the same time play an auxiliary role in fixing the electric cylinder to ensure the stability of the operation.
[0026] While the fiberglass tube flattening assembly presses down the fiberglass tube, the fiberglass tube clamping and transfer assembly also moves downward to assemble the fiberglass tube that was previously flattened by the fiberglass tube flattening assembly onto the heating wire. After flattening the fiberglass tube, the fiberglass tube clamping and transfer assembly moves to the flattened fiberglass tube position and clamps and transfers the fiberglass tube. At the same time as this assembly moves downward, the central fiberglass rod flattening assembly flattens the central fiberglass rod of the heating wire assembled by the upper clamping and transfer assembly below the heating wire.
[0027] A specific implementation example is as follows: Palletized products flow into this section of the assembly line. A blocking cylinder blocks the pallet, a sensor detects the incoming material signal, and a pallet-lifting cylinder lifts and fixes the pallet. At this time, the fiberglass tube flattening assembly begins to operate. The telescopic movement of cylinder 4 drives the cylinder connecting plate 3 downwards, and the T-shaped plate 2 and pressure plate 1 also flatten the fiberglass tube downwards. Simultaneously, the fiberglass tube clamping and transfer assembly, under the action of electric cylinder 10, drives the bottom clamping assembly 15 downwards. The electric cylinder 10 and the guide shaft base plate 14 are connected and moved together via the floating joint 12 and the square block 13. The guide shaft 8, acting as a guide support, moves to a set position under the action of electric cylinder 10. The slider 16 moves, and the finger cylinder 17 opens, driving the clamping assembly 15 to assemble the clamped fiberglass tube onto the heating wire of the next cycle on the assembly line. After assembly, the fiberglass tube flattening assembly and the fiberglass tube clamping and transporting assembly rise to a safe position. During the rise, the clamping component 15 in the fiberglass tube clamping and transporting assembly closes, and the cylinder 4 in the fiberglass tube flattening assembly retracts. After flattening the fiberglass tube, the fiberglass tube clamping and transporting assembly moves to directly above the flattened fiberglass tube and descends under the action of the electric cylinder 10. The clamping component 15 moves to the position of the fiberglass tube, and the pin arrangement mechanism guides the fiberglass tube to be aligned and inserted. The clamping component 15 clamps the fiberglass tube. During this process, the central fiberglass rod flattening assembly also works. The composite cylinder 26 extends, and the connecting plate 28, slider connecting plate 22, and rake mechanism 30, which are connected to it through the composite cylinder floating joint 27, begin to descend under the guidance of the slider 21. The pressure head 33 on the rake mechanism 30 directly presses against the fiberglass rod at the center of the heating wire. Figure 6 The fiberglass rod is pressed down to below the metal shell at the top of the heating wire. Spring 34 buffers the impact force of the electric cylinder descending and finally returns to the safe position to complete one cycle.
[0028] This device for transferring and assembling fiberglass tubes, through the cooperation of a fiberglass tube flattening component, a clamping and transferring fiberglass tube component, and a central fiberglass rod flattening component, can achieve precise assembly of fiberglass tubes, facilitating subsequent oil cup assembly. By using machines to replace manual operation, it can significantly improve processing efficiency and yield, and reduce labor costs.

The scope of this utility model includes but is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. All equivalent changes made in accordance with this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
