Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighter manufacturing technology, specifically to a fuel adding device for lighter manufacturing. Background Technology
[0002] A lighter is a small fire-starting device, primarily used for starting a fire, smoking, and also for cooking and other fire-starting scenarios. The main components of a lighter include the ignition mechanism and the gas tank. When the ignition mechanism activates, it emits a spark that ignites the gas. Based on the characteristics of the ignition mechanism, lighters can be divided into various types, such as flint and steel wheel lighters, piezoelectric ceramic lighters, magnetic induction lighters, battery lighters, solar-powered lighters, and microcomputer lighters. Lighters come in a wide variety; for example, refillable lighters require regular refilling, have a longer lifespan, and are suitable for occasions where fire is needed for extended periods, such as camping and barbecues. According to application number CN222527704U, a lighter fuel filling device features a squeezing lever that oscillates around a pin inside a connecting block. When the positioning frame at the top of the lever is fitted onto the surface of the lighter body, it achieves the effect of squeezing and positioning the lighter body. A lifting component lowers the gas canister and performs the filling operation when the gas canister is connected to the lighter body. This invention uses two structures with fixed moving distances to squeeze and fix the lighter body, preventing slight displacement of the lighter body when subjected to vibration. This ensures that the lighter is aligned with the exhaust end of the narrower gas canister during filling, guaranteeing a good filling effect. After filling, the lighter needs to be placed vertically to ensure gas stability and full dissolution. Vertical placement allows the butane gas to be evenly distributed within the lighter and fully dissolved in the fuel solvent, avoiding unstable combustion due to gas stratification. Butane gas needs to settle naturally under gravity in its liquid state to maintain gas-liquid balance. Therefore, after using the device to add lighter fuel, it needs to be removed manually and placed vertically, which affects the efficiency of adding lighter fuel. Utility Model Content

[0010] This utility model provides a fuel adding device for lighter manufacturing, which has the following advantages:
[0011] 1. This lighter-processing fuel-adding device, equipped with a first rack, a drive gear, and a second rack, closes the connecting valve. Then, the extension end of the electric telescopic rod moves the connecting valve and hose upwards. The conveying roller then moves the mounting block, mounting base, and lighter. This causes the first rack to drive the drive gear, which in turn drives the worm gear, worm wheel, rotating shaft, and mounting base to rotate. This causes the mounting base to rotate the filling hole on the lighter downwards, allowing it to be placed vertically for a certain period. Then, when the drive gear passes the second rack, the second rack drives the drive gear to reset the worm gear and worm wheel. This causes the worm wheel to reset the rotating shaft, mounting base, rubber pad, and lighter, causing the opening of the mounting base to rotate upwards. This automatically keeps the filled lighter vertically for a certain period, then rotates the lighter to the retrieval position and removes it.
[0012] 2. The lighter fuel filling device is equipped with a screw, a threaded hole and a pusher. The lighter is placed into the mounting base so that the gas filling hole on the lighter is at the top. Then, the threaded hole is rotated so that the pusher and the rubber pad are moved by the threaded hole through the bearing, thereby installing the lighter into the mounting base.

[0021] On the other side of each mounting block 10, a drive box 17 is fixedly connected. One end of each rotating shaft 11 extends into the drive box 17 and is fixedly fitted with a worm gear 19. Inside the drive box 17 and on one side of the worm gear 19, a worm 18 is rotatably connected. The worm 18 is connected to the worm gear 19 for transmission. Through the worm 18, the worm gear 19, the drive gear 20, the mounting base 12, the rubber pad 13, and the lighter inside the mounting base 12 rotate.
[0022] The top of each worm 18 extends above the drive box 17 and is fixedly connected to a drive gear 20. The drive gear 20 drives the worm 18 to rotate.
[0023] A fixing frame 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 and to one side of a side plate 2. A hose 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame 6. The bottom end of the hose 7 extends to the bottom of the fixing frame 6 and is fixedly connected to several connecting valves 9. An electric telescopic rod 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame 6 and to both sides of the hose 7. The telescopic ends of the electric telescopic rod 8 extend to the bottom of the fixing frame 6 and are fixedly connected to the outside of the hose 7. The telescopic ends of the electric telescopic rod 8 drive the hose 7 and the two connecting valves 9 to move.
[0024] A first rack 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame 6, and the drive gear 20 and worm gear 18 are driven to rotate through the first rack 21 and the second rack 23.
[0025] Example 2
[0026] Please see Figure 1The present invention provides a technical solution: a mounting bracket 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 and to one side of the side plate 2, and a second rack 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket 22.

[0027] In summary, the fuel adding device for lighter processing, when in use, involves placing the lighter into the mounting base 12 with the gas filling port on the lighter facing upwards. Then, rotating the threaded hole 15 causes the threaded hole 15 to move via the bearing-driven push block 16 and rubber pad 13, installing the lighter inside the mounting base 12. The output of the first servo motor 5 then drives one conveyor roller 3 to rotate, which in turn drives another conveyor roller 3 via the conveyor belt 4. The conveyor belt 4 moves the mounting block 10, the mounting base 12, and the lighter to below the connecting valve 9. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 8 then pushes the connecting valve 9 downwards, inserting its bottom end into the gas filling port on the lighter. The connecting valve 9 is then opened, allowing the hose 7 to carry gas from the gas storage mechanism into the two connecting valves 9, and then into the gas filling port on the lighter, thus entering the lighter's interior. The connecting valve 9 is then closed. Finally, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 8 moves the connecting valve 9 and the hose 7 upwards, and then... The feeding roller 3 drives the mounting block 10, mounting base 12, and lighter to move, causing the first rack 21 to drive the drive gear 20 to drive the worm 18, worm wheel 19, rotating shaft 11, and mounting base 12 to rotate. This causes the mounting base 12 to rotate the gas filling hole on the lighter to the downward position, allowing it to be placed vertically for a certain period of time. Then, when the drive gear 20 passes the second rack 23, the second rack 23 drives the drive gear 20 to drive the worm 18 and worm wheel 19 to reset and rotate. This causes the worm wheel 19 to drive the rotating shaft 11, mounting base 12, and rubber pad. 13 and the lighter reset rotation, so that the opening of the mounting base 12 rotates to the top. Then the operator turns the screw 14 to reset rotation, so that the screw 14 drives the push block 16 and the rubber pad 13 to reset and move. Then the lighter that has been fully charged inside the mounting base 12 is taken out, and then the lighter is put into the mounting base 12. The lighter is then installed inside the mounting base 12. The lighter continues to be moved and charged through the mounting block 10, the rotating shaft 11, the mounting base 12, and the uncharged lighter inside the mounting base 12.
