Abstract
Description
[0001] Technical field.
[0002] This utility model relates to the field of electronic cigarette detection technology, and in particular to an electronic cigarette detection and positioning mechanism.
[0003] Background technology.
[0004] Electronic cigarettes are electronic products that mimic traditional cigarettes. They consist of a battery, airflow sensor, atomizer, device, and cartridges (containing nicotine, flavorings, and solvents such as propylene glycol). They use electronic heating to atomize e-liquid into various flavored aerosols, giving users a sensation similar to smoking and the pleasure of "blowing smoke."
[0005] During the production of e-cigarettes, testing is required. E-cigarette testing institutions play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and safety of e-cigarettes and related products. These institutions are responsible for conducting detailed inspections, tests, monitoring, and evaluations to ensure that each product strictly complies with relevant regulations and standards, providing consumers with safe and reliable e-cigarette products. However, when using e-cigarette testing institutions, various photoelectric sensors are required. These sensors need to maintain the stability of the e-cigarette during use. However, due to the diverse shapes and sizes of e-cigarettes, simple placement is insufficient to ensure stability. Therefore, we propose an e-cigarette testing and positioning mechanism to address these issues.
[0006] Utility model content.
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology by proposing an electronic cigarette detection and positioning mechanism.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an electronic cigarette detection and positioning mechanism is designed, comprising two symmetrically arranged bases, a support frame is vertically installed on the top of the side of the two bases that are relatively close to each other, and a U-shaped seat is provided on the top of the side of the two support frames that are relatively close to each other, wherein the opening of the U-shaped seat is a recessed arc surface.
[0009] One of the U-shaped seats has a drive shaft vertically mounted in the middle, and the other end of the drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the support frame and connected to the drive motor. The drive motor is fixed to the support frame. The other U-shaped seat is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat via a rotating shaft, and a pushing mechanism is mounted on the other end of the connecting seat. The pushing mechanism is mounted on the support frame.
[0010] The U-shaped base has multiple pressure blocks with arc-shaped cross sections inside. The inner side of the pressure blocks faces the opening of the U-shaped base. The multiple pressure blocks are arranged at intervals along the opening of the U-shaped base, and the ends of the pressure blocks are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped base through a connecting shaft. A torsion spring is sleeved on the connecting shaft. One end of the torsion spring is installed on the pressure block, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixed to the U-shaped base.
[0011] Preferably, at least one support tube is provided between the two support frames, a support rod is built into the other end of the support tube, the other end of the support rod is fixed to one of the support frames, and the end of the support tube away from the support rod is fixed to the other support frame.
[0012] Preferably, mounting holes are provided at the corners of the base.
[0013] Preferably, multiple spaced reinforcing plates are installed on the top of the base, with one side of the reinforcing plate fixed to the base and the other side of the reinforcing plate fixed to the support frame.
[0014] Preferably, an annular slide rail is coaxially provided on the drive shaft, and at least one slider is installed on the slide rail. The slider is fixed to the U-shaped seat by a connecting rod.
[0015] Preferably, at least one guide shaft is provided parallel to the side of the pushing mechanism, one end of the guide shaft is fixed to the connecting seat, and the other end of the guide shaft slides through the support frame.
[0016] Preferably, a cushioning sleeve is wrapped around the surface of the pressure block, and the cushioning sleeve is an elastic rubber sleeve.
[0017] The design scheme proposed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects in application:
[0018] 1. This electronic cigarette detection and positioning mechanism uses the deflection of the pressure block within the U-shaped seat to allow the pressure block to deflect against the outer shell of the electronic cigarette when it comes into contact with the electronic cigarette to be detected, thereby making the pressure block fit tightly against the surface of the electronic cigarette and thus improving the positioning effect of the electronic cigarette.
[0019] 2. The electronic cigarette detection and positioning mechanism uses the elastic action of the torsion spring on the pressure block to make the deflected pressure block subject to the elastic action of the torsion spring after twisting, and so that the force on it acts on the electronic cigarette to be detected along the pressure block, thereby further improving the positioning effect of the pressure block on the electronic cigarette.

[0026] Detailed implementation method.
[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 An electronic cigarette detection and positioning mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged bases 1, with mounting holes at the corners of the bases 1 for mounting the bases 1 on the electronic cigarette detection mechanism.
[0029] A support frame 2 is vertically installed on the top of the two bases 1 on their relatively close sides. A U-shaped seat 3 is provided on the top of the two support frames 2 on their relatively close sides. The opening of the U-shaped seat 3 is a recessed arc surface, making the opening end of the U-shaped seat 3 an arc concave surface. At least one support tube 14 is provided between the two support frames 2. A support rod 15 is built into the other end of the support tube 14. The other end of the support rod 15 is fixed to one of the support frames 2, and the end of the support tube 14 away from the support rod 15 is fixed to the other support frame 2, connecting the two bases 1. At the same time, the sliding of the support rod 15 in the support tube 14 provides guidance for adjusting the distance between the two support frames 2, making the adjustment more stable.
[0030] Furthermore, in order to improve the connection strength between the support frame 2 and the base 1, a number of spaced reinforcing plates 17 are installed on the top of the base 1. One side of the reinforcing plate 17 is fixed to the base 1, and the other side of the reinforcing plate 17 is fixed to the support frame 2.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a drive shaft 6 is vertically mounted in the middle of one of the U-shaped seats 3, and the other end of the drive shaft 6 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 2 and connected to a drive motor 7. The drive motor 7 is fixed to the support frame 2. The other U-shaped seat 3 is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat 8 via a rotating shaft, and a pushing mechanism 9 is mounted on the other end of the connecting seat 8. The pushing mechanism 9 is mounted on the support frame 2. In actual use, the pushing mechanism 9 is one of an electric push rod, a cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder. The pushing mechanism 9 pushes the U-shaped seat 3 closer to the other U-shaped seat 3, thereby clamping the electronic cigarette placed between the two U-shaped seats 3. The function of the drive motor 7 and the rotation of the U-shaped seats 3 on the connecting seat 8 allow the electronic cigarette placed between the U-shaped seats 3 to rotate and adjust freely, so as to adjust the positioning according to the shape of the electronic cigarette and improve the adaptability of the positioning mechanism to the positioning of the electronic cigarette.
[0032] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, a ring-shaped slide rail 11 is coaxially mounted on the drive shaft 6. At least one slider 12 is mounted on the slide rail 11. The slider 12 is fixed to the U-shaped seat 3 via a connecting rod 13, providing guidance for the U-shaped seat 3 driven by the drive motor 7 to rotate, making its rotation more stable; as Figure 1 As shown, at least one guide shaft 10 is provided parallel to the side of the pushing mechanism 9. One end of the guide shaft 10 is fixed to the connecting seat 8, and the other end of the guide shaft 10 slides through the support frame 2, so that the U-shaped seat 3, which is pushed by the pushing mechanism 9 to make linear motion, obtains a guiding effect when moving, ensuring the symmetrical stability of the two U-shaped seats 3.
[0033] When the U-shaped base 3 contacts the electronic cigarette, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple pressure blocks 5 with arc-shaped cross-sections are provided inside the U-shaped base 3. The inner side of the pressure block 5 faces the opening of the U-shaped base 3. The multiple pressure blocks 5 are arranged at intervals along the opening of the U-shaped base 3, and the ends of the pressure blocks 5 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped base 3 through the connecting shaft 4. After the U-shaped base 3 comes into contact with the electronic cigarette, the pressure block 5 will deflect due to the shape of the outer wall of the electronic cigarette, so that the pressure block 5 and the electronic cigarette can fit better. After the pressure block 5 deflects, a torsion spring 16 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 4. One end of the torsion spring 16 is installed on the pressure block 5, and the other end of the torsion spring 16 is fixed to the U-shaped base 3. The torsion spring 16 will twist and generate elastic force as the pressure block 5 deflects. The elastic force will act on the pressure block 5, thereby providing a better squeezing effect on the electronic cigarette to improve the fixing effect of the pressure block 5 on the electronic cigarette.
[0034] Furthermore, a buffer sleeve is wrapped around the surface of the pressure block 5. The buffer sleeve is an elastic rubber sleeve, which can buffer the squeezing force of the pressure block 5 on the electronic cigarette and also prevent the electronic cigarette from being worn when the pressure block 5 comes into contact with the electronic cigarette.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
