Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic cigarette detection technology, and in particular to a novel electronic cigarette detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, are primarily used for smoking cessation and as a substitute for traditional cigarettes. They offer advantages such as being tobacco-free, flameless, ash-free, and less expensive than traditional cigarettes. A wide variety of e-cigarettes cater to diverse consumer groups, resulting in a broad market.

[0003] During the production and assembly of e-cigarettes, it is necessary to test the airtightness of the e-cigarette's interior.

[0004] For example, the prior art Chinese patent announcement number "CN216206606U" provides an electronic cigarette detection device, including a frame, a connecting tube, an air inlet tube, and a telescopic hose. The top of the frame is equipped with a control box and a micro air pump. One end of the connecting tube is equipped with a first rotating joint. The top of the connecting tube near the first rotating joint is equipped with an air inlet. One end of the air inlet tube is equipped with a four-claw gripper, and the other end is equipped with a second rotating joint. The top of the end of the air inlet tube near the second rotating joint is equipped with an air outlet. The two ends of the telescopic hose are threaded to the air outlet and the air inlet, respectively.

[0005] This device has a simple structure, is easy to use, highly portable, and has low manufacturing and maintenance costs. It can accurately simulate the e-cigarette usage environment, facilitate the observation of e-cigarette operation, and test the feasibility of e-cigarette structure. It is a powerful tool for e-cigarette designers.

[0006] Existing e-cigarette testing devices fail to maintain the e-cigarette in a stable, upright position during the sealing test of the e-cigarette's internal compartment. This makes it difficult for the sealing test mechanism to be inserted into the e-cigarette's compartment for sealing testing. The swaying and shaking of the e-cigarette can cause air leakage during the sealing test, which is not conducive to the sealing connection of the e-cigarette's compartment and the intake of air. Moreover, it is not convenient to quickly remove and stably place the e-cigarette before and after the test.

[0007] Therefore, a novel electronic cigarette detection device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0034] An mounting cylinder 3 is provided on the base 1, and a support plate 18 is connected inside the mounting cylinder 3 by a first spring 22. The support plate 18 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 4 by limiting blocks 20 on both sides. Inside the mounting cylinder 3 and located on both sides of the support plate 18, a clamping plate 6 is elastically mounted by a connecting rod 5 and a second spring 23.

[0035] Therefore, before testing the e-cigarette, the e-cigarette is placed inside the mounting cylinder 3, supported by the support plate 18, and clamped and limited by the clamping plate 6 and the limiting plate 7 to keep the e-cigarette stably and vertically placed for subsequent sealing tests.

The sealing plug 16 is firmly bonded to the bottom of the mounting plate 15. The air suction pipe 17 passes upward through the sealing plug 16, and its top end is connected to an air guide pipe 14. A pressure gauge 13 is installed at the top end of the air guide pipe 14. An air suction pump 8 is installed at the other end of the air guide pipe 14.

After the e-cigarette test is completed, the clamping plate 6 is pulled outward by the connecting rod 5 to release the two sides of the e-cigarette. At the same time, the first spring 22 extends and bounces, and the e-cigarette is bounced upward by the support plate 18 and exposed at the top of the mounting cylinder 3, making it easier to remove the e-cigarette.

[0047] At the bottom of the top plate 9, a sealing plug 16 and an air intake pipe 17 are installed via the mounting plate 15. The air intake pipe 17 is connected to the air intake pump 8 via the air guide pipe 14. Thus, when the electronic cigarette is placed inside the mounting cylinder 3 and stably and vertically positioned, the electric push rod 12 extends downward and drives the mounting plate 15 downward, pressing down on the electronic cigarette and the support plate 18, and compressing the first spring 22, until the air intake pipe 17 is inserted into the air outlet of the electronic cigarette's chamber, and the sealing plug 16 seals it tightly. At the same time, the air intake pump 8 continuously draws air from inside the electronic cigarette's chamber through the air guide pipe 14 and the air intake pipe 17, and the pressure gauge 13 is observed. Once the pressure gauge 13 stabilizes and does not change, the electronic cigarette's sealing test is qualified. In this way, the sealing test of multiple electronic cigarettes can be performed simultaneously.
