[0039] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. When an element is described as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0041] In the field of electronic atomization devices, the leads of heating element A (heating wire) are mainly bent manually. However, manual operation makes it difficult to accurately control the bending position of the leads of heating element A, which affects the bending effect of the heating wire leads and thus affects the yield of electronic atomization devices that use this element.

[0042] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a bending device 100. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bending device 100 includes a drive mechanism 1 and an auxiliary mechanism 2, wherein the drive mechanism 1 is connected to the auxiliary mechanism 2. The drive mechanism 1 includes a drive assembly 11 and a clamping assembly 12. The clamping assembly 12 is configured to clamp a workpiece 200 (a semi-finished product for assembling an electronic atomizing device) with a heating element A and a mounting base B, and the heating element A of the workpiece 200 partially protrudes from the end of the mounting base B to ensure that the heating element A can be bent smoothly). The drive assembly 11 is configured to drive the clamping assembly 12 to move, that is, under the drive of the drive assembly 11, the clamping assembly 12 can move in three-dimensional space to cooperate with the auxiliary mechanism 2. The auxiliary mechanism 2 includes a mounting frame 21, a first auxiliary component 22, and a second auxiliary component 23. Both the first auxiliary component 22 and the second auxiliary component 23 are disposed on the mounting frame 21. The mounting frame 21 is used to lift the first auxiliary component 22 and the second auxiliary component 23 to the required height for processing. The first auxiliary component 22 is configured to cooperate with the drive mechanism 1 to bend the end of the pin of the heating element A of the workpiece 200. The second auxiliary component 23 is configured to cooperate with the drive mechanism 1 to bend the root of the pin of the heating element A of the workpiece 200 and make the pin of the heating element A of the workpiece 200 fit against the mounting base B. With the above structure, after being clamped by the clamping component 12, the workpiece 200 can cooperate with the first auxiliary component 222 and the second auxiliary component 223 on the auxiliary mechanism 2 under the drive of the drive component 11, thereby achieving the bending of the heating element A, thus obtaining a semi-finished product (i.e., the workpiece 200 after the pin of the heating element A is bent) that can be applied to the electronic atomization device, improving the processing efficiency of the semi-finished product, and improving the yield of the semi-finished product by means of the precise mechanical control of the drive mechanism 1 and the auxiliary mechanism 2.

[0043] For the first auxiliary component 22 mentioned above, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The first auxiliary component 22 includes a moving component 221, a first auxiliary member 222, and a second auxiliary member 223. The moving component 221 is configured to drive the first auxiliary member 222 and the second auxiliary member 223 to move in opposite directions. When the first auxiliary member 222 and the second auxiliary member 223 move in opposite directions, the first auxiliary member 222 and the second auxiliary member 223 form a first gap 224, which is used for the insertion of the end of the pin of the heating element A. When the first auxiliary member 222 and the second auxiliary member 223 move towards each other, the first auxiliary member 222 and the second auxiliary member 223 cooperate to bend the end of the pin of the heating element A.

[0044] Specifically, in order to achieve bending of the pin end of heating element A, the first auxiliary member 222 is provided with a first inclined wall 2221, and the second auxiliary member 223 is provided with a second inclined wall 2231. The first inclined wall 2221 is used to allow the second inclined wall 2231 to fit together when the first auxiliary member 222 and the second auxiliary member 223 move towards each other, so that after the first auxiliary member 222 and the second auxiliary member 223 fit together, they can clamp the pin of heating element A inserted into the first gap 224, thereby achieving bending of the pin of heating element A.

[0045] It is understandable that the tilting direction of the first inclined wall 2221 and the second inclined wall 2231 is selected according to the bending direction required for the pin of the actual heating element A, and will not be explained in detail here.

[0046] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The movable component 221 includes a first movable member 2211, a first movable plate 2212, and a second movable plate 2213. The first movable plate 2212 and the second movable plate 2213 are slidably disposed on the mounting frame 21 and are arranged in parallel. The first auxiliary member 222 of the first auxiliary component 22 is disposed on the first movable plate 2212, and the second auxiliary member 223 of the first auxiliary component 22 is disposed on the second movable plate 2213, so that when the first movable plate 2212 and the second movable plate 2213 move in opposite directions, the first auxiliary member 222 and the second auxiliary member 223 can cooperate with each other. The first movable member 2211 is disposed on the mounting frame 21 and is connected to the first movable plate 2212 and the second movable plate 2213 respectively. The first movable member 2211 is used to drive the first movable plate 2212 and the second movable plate 2213 to move in opposite directions. The movement of the first moving plate 2212 and the second moving plate 2213 drives the movement of the first auxiliary component 222 and the second auxiliary component 223.

[0047] It is understood that the structures that the first auxiliary component 222 and the second auxiliary component 223 can use include, but are not limited to, the cooperation between protrusions and protrusions, the cooperation between protrusions and grooves, etc. For example, in this embodiment, the first auxiliary component 222 and the second auxiliary component 223 are the cooperation between protrusions. Specifically, the first moving plate 2212 is provided with a first protrusion 2212a, which defines the first auxiliary component 222, that is, the first inclined wall 2221 is located on the side wall of the first protrusion 2212a. The second moving plate 2213 is provided with a second protrusion 2213a, which defines the second auxiliary component 223, that is, the second inclined wall 2231 is located on the side wall of the second protrusion 2213a.

[0048] It is understood that the structure that can be selected for the first moving part 2211 includes, but is not limited to, a motor, a cylinder, etc. For example, in this embodiment, the first moving part 2211 is a motor.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The second auxiliary component 23 includes a third auxiliary component 231, which includes a first base 2311 and a first protrusion 2312 disposed on the first base 2311. The first base 2311 is disposed on the mounting bracket 21. The first protrusion 2312 is configured such that when the drive mechanism 1 drives the workpiece 200 to move toward the first protrusion 2312, the end of the first protrusion 2312 away from the first base 2311 abuts against and pushes the root of the pin to bend once. Specifically, the mounting base B of the workpiece 200 is provided with a first groove B1 that is adapted to the first protrusion 2312. The drive component 11 drives the clamping component 12 to move so that the first protrusion 2312 is received in the first groove B1. The first protrusion 2312 and the wall of the first groove B1 jointly squeeze the root of the heating element A, thereby causing the root of the pin of the heating element A to bend as expected, thus obtaining the desired semi-finished product.

[0050] To reduce stress rebound at the root of heating element A after a single bend, in some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 9 and Figure 10 The second auxiliary component 23 includes a fourth auxiliary component 232, which includes a second base 2321 and a second protrusion 2322 disposed on the second base 2321. The second base 2321 is disposed on the mounting bracket 21. The second protrusion 2322 is configured such that when the drive mechanism 1 drives the workpiece 200 to move toward the second protrusion 2322, the end of the second protrusion 2322 away from the second base 2321 abuts against and pushes the root of the pin to bend twice, thereby reducing the degree of springback of the heating element A at the root and ensuring the bending effect of the root of the heating element A.

[0051] Furthermore, to reduce the foreign object sensation in the aforementioned groove after the heating element A is bent, in some embodiments, a V-groove 23221 is provided at the end of the second protrusion 2322 away from the second base 2321. The V-groove 23221 is used to accommodate the pin. This allows the heating element A to conform to the wall surface of the first groove B1 when it is jointly pressed by the second protrusion 2322 and the mounting base B.

[0052] Understandably, the bottom of the first groove B1 is provided with a second groove B11 that matches the V-shaped groove 23221 to ensure the fit between the pin of the heating element A and the first groove B1.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The second auxiliary component 23 also includes a pre-bending component 233, which includes a third base 2331 and a pre-bending strip 2332. The third base 2331 is disposed on the mounting bracket 21, and the pre-bending strip 2332 is disposed on the third base 2331. The pre-bending strip 2332 is provided with a third inclined surface 23321. The third inclined surface 23321 is configured to push the pin to pre-bend when the drive mechanism 1 drives the workpiece 200 to move toward the pre-bending strip 2332. Specifically, after the heating element A on the workpiece 200 is bent by the cooperation of the first auxiliary component 222 and the second auxiliary component 223, the drive mechanism 1 drives the workpiece 200 to move to the position of the pre-bending component 233. The drive mechanism 1 controls the heating element A of the workpiece 200 to move toward the third inclined surface 23321, thereby enabling the heating element A to be pre-bent, so that the drive mechanism 1 can drive the workpiece 200 to cooperate with the third auxiliary component 231 and the fourth auxiliary component 232 to complete the subsequent bending process.

[0054] Understandably, the direction in which the heating element A of the workpiece 200 moves toward the third inclined surface 23321 driven by the drive mechanism 1 is opposite to the pre-bending direction of the heating element A, so that when the drive mechanism 1 drives the workpiece 200 to move toward the pre-bending strip 2332, the third inclined surface 23321 can smoothly push the pin to pre-bend.

[0055] It should be noted that, in order to improve the heating efficiency of heating element A in the electronic atomization device, the number of heating elements A on the same workpiece 200 is usually two, so as to improve the heating efficiency of the electronic atomization device. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the pre-bending member 233 also includes a fourth inclined surface 23322. The fourth inclined surface 23322 and the third inclined surface 23321 are symmetrically arranged. The workpiece 200 is driven by the driving mechanism 1 to move in two opposite directions, thereby realizing the pre-bending of the two heating elements A.

[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14The second auxiliary component 23 includes a positioning element 234, which includes a fourth base 2341 and a positioning groove 2342 disposed on the fourth base 2341. The positioning groove 2342 is configured to guide the heating element A of the workpiece 200 to be placed in a preset direction. Specifically, the drive mechanism 1 moves the workpiece 200 above the positioning element 234. The drive mechanism 1 then places the workpiece 200 on the positioning element 234 and ensures that the portion of the heating element A on the workpiece 200 protruding from the end face of the mounting base B is smoothly received in the positioning groove 2342. Relying on the constraint of the positioning groove 2342 on the heating element A, the heating element A can be placed in a preset processing direction, thereby facilitating subsequent processing operations.

[0057] It should be noted that the process corresponding to the positioning component 234 mentioned above, which is used to arrange the placement order of the heating element A, is the first of all processing steps.

[0058] Regarding the aforementioned positioning groove 2342, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 14 The positioning groove 2342 includes a first groove segment 23421 and a second groove segment 23422. The second groove segment 23422 is located at the bottom of the first groove segment 23421. The first groove segment 23421 is configured as a mounting base B for receiving the workpiece 200, and the second groove segment 23422 is configured as a heating element A for receiving the workpiece 200.

[0059] Understandably, the shape of the first groove segment 23421 is adapted to the shape of the mounting base B, and together with the second groove segment 23422, the workpiece 200 is placed in a preset direction through the preset position of the positioning groove 2342.

[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first auxiliary component 22 includes a second moving member 225, a fifth auxiliary member 226, and a sixth auxiliary member 227. The second moving member 225 is configured to drive the fifth auxiliary member 226 and the sixth auxiliary member 227 to move in opposite directions. When the fifth auxiliary member 226 and the sixth auxiliary member 227 move in opposite directions, they form a second gap 228 for the insertion of the end of the pin of the heating element A. When the fifth auxiliary member 226 and the sixth auxiliary member 227 move towards each other, they cooperate to straighten the end of the pin of the heating element A.

[0061] Specifically, since the heating element A of the workpiece 200 is relatively soft and easily bent, the heating element A may be partially bent during transportation before the workpiece 200 is clamped by the clamping assembly 12. In this application, the workpiece 200 is moved by the drive mechanism 1, and the pins of the heating element A of the workpiece 200 are controlled to extend into the second gap 228. The pins of the heating element A are straightened by the joint clamping of the fifth auxiliary component 226 and the sixth auxiliary component 227, thereby improving the yield of the semi-finished product.

[0062] Specifically, the fifth auxiliary component 226 is provided with a first straight wall 2261, and the sixth auxiliary component 227 is provided with a second straight wall 2271. The first straight wall 2261 is used to allow the second straight wall 2271 to fit together when the fifth auxiliary component 226 and the sixth auxiliary component 227 move towards each other, so that after the fifth auxiliary component 226 and the sixth auxiliary component 227 fit together, the pin of the heating element A inserted into the second gap 228 can be clamped, thereby realizing the straightening of the pin of the heating element A.

[0063] Understandably, the surfaces of the first straight wall 2261 and the second straight wall 2271 are both flat, thus ensuring the straightening effect on the pins of the heating element A.

[0064] In some embodiments, the movable component 221 includes a third movable plate 2214 and a fourth movable plate 2215, which are slidably disposed on the mounting bracket 21 and arranged in parallel. A fifth auxiliary member 226 is defined by the third movable plate 2214, and a sixth auxiliary member 227 is disposed on the fourth movable plate 2215. The movement of the third movable plate 2214 and the fourth movable plate 2215 drives the movement of the fifth auxiliary member 226 and the sixth auxiliary member 227.

[0065] It is understood that the structures that the fifth auxiliary component 226 and the sixth auxiliary component 227 can use include, but are not limited to, the cooperation between protrusions and protrusions, the cooperation between protrusions and grooves, etc. For example, in this embodiment, the fifth auxiliary component 226 and the sixth auxiliary component 227 are the cooperation structure between protrusions and grooves. Specifically, the third moving plate 2214 is provided with a hole 22141, which defines the fifth auxiliary component 226. The first straight wall 2261 is the hole wall of the hole 22141. The fourth moving plate 2215 is provided with a third protrusion 22151, which defines the sixth auxiliary component 227. The second straight wall 2271 is the side wall of the third protrusion 22151.

[0066] The second moving part 225 is disposed on the mounting bracket 21. The second moving part 225 is connected to the third moving plate 2214 and the fourth moving plate 2215 respectively. The second moving part 225 is used to drive the third moving plate 2214 and the fourth moving plate 2215 to move in opposite directions.

[0067] The first moving member 2211 drives the first moving plate 2212 and the second moving plate 2213 to move in opposite directions, and the second moving member 225 drives the third moving plate 2214 and the fourth moving plate 2215 to move in opposite directions. Therefore, in this application, the first moving member 2211 and the second moving member 225 achieve the same direction of movement, and the first auxiliary member 222 and the second auxiliary member 223 driven by the first driving member achieve similar functions. In some embodiments, the first moving plate 2212 and the third moving plate 2214 are connected, and the second moving plate 2213 and the fourth moving plate 2215 are connected, thereby simplifying the structure of the moving assembly 221, that is, the first moving member 2211 or the second moving member 225 can be omitted, saving the manufacturing cost of the bending equipment 100.

[0068] For example, in this application, the second moving part 225 is omitted. The first moving part 2211 includes a first moving part and a second moving part. The first moving part drives the first moving plate 2212 and the third moving plate 2214 to move, and the second moving part drives the third moving plate 2214 and the fourth moving plate 2215 to move.

[0069] It should be noted that in order to improve the processing efficiency of workpiece 200, the clamping assembly usually clamps multiple workpieces 200 for processing. Therefore, there are multiple first auxiliary parts 222 and second auxiliary parts 223, multiple first protrusions 2312 and multiple second protrusions 2322, and multiple pre-bent parts 233 and positioning grooves 2342, so as to improve processing efficiency.

[0070] In this application, the first auxiliary component 222 and the second auxiliary component 223 in the first auxiliary component 22 are arranged adjacent to the fifth auxiliary component 226 and the sixth auxiliary component 227. The third auxiliary component 231, the fourth auxiliary component 232, the positioning component 234 and the pre-bending component 233 in the second auxiliary component 23 are combined according to the actual required arrangement, which will not be illustrated here.

[0071] To facilitate understanding of the working principle of the bending equipment 100, an example is provided below:

[0072] The clamping assembly 12 clamps the workpiece 200, and then the driving assembly 11 drives the clamping assembly 12 to move the workpiece 200 to the position of the positioning groove 2342 and place the workpiece 200 in the positioning groove 2342 so that the workpiece 200 is positioned in a preset direction. The clamping assembly 12 clamps the positioned workpiece 200. The driving assembly 11 drives the clamping assembly 12 to move the workpiece 200 into the second gap 228 between the fifth auxiliary component 226 and the sixth auxiliary component 227. The clamping of the pin by the fifth auxiliary component 226 and the sixth auxiliary component 227 achieves the straightening of the pin. Then, the driving assembly 11 drives the clamping assembly 12 to move the workpiece 200 into the first gap 224 between the first auxiliary component 222 and the second auxiliary component 223. The clamping of the pin by the first auxiliary component 222 and the second auxiliary component 223 achieves the straightening of the pin. The bending of the pin involves the drive assembly 11 driving the clamping assembly 12 to move the workpiece 200 to the pre-bending strip 2332 and driving the heating element A of the workpiece 200 to move along the first direction and its reverse direction. This causes the third inclined surface 23321 and the fourth inclined surface 23322 to push the root of the pin to bend. Then, the drive assembly 11 drives the clamping assembly 12 to move the workpiece 200 to the first protrusion 2312. This forces the pin of the heating element A into the first groove B1 by the combined pressure of the first protrusion 2312 and the first groove B1 of the mounting base B. Then, the drive assembly 11 drives the clamping assembly 12 to move the workpiece 200 to the second protrusion 2322. The pin is then attached to the wall of the first groove B1 by the combined pressure of the second protrusion 2322 and the first groove B1 of the mounting base B, thus obtaining the desired semi-finished product.

[0073] In this application, the bending device 100 includes a drive mechanism 1 and an auxiliary mechanism 2, wherein the drive mechanism 1 is connected to the auxiliary mechanism 2. The drive mechanism 1 includes a drive assembly 11 and a clamping assembly 12. The clamping assembly 12 is configured to clamp a workpiece 200 (a semi-finished product for assembling an electronic atomizing device) having a heating element A and a mounting base B, and the heating element A of the workpiece 200 partially protrudes from the end of the mounting base B to ensure that the heating element A can be bent smoothly) with the heating element A partially protruding from the end of the mounting base B. The drive assembly 11 is configured to drive the clamping assembly 12 to move, that is, the clamping assembly 12 can move in three-dimensional space under the drive of the drive assembly 11 so as to cooperate with the auxiliary mechanism 2. The auxiliary mechanism 2 includes a mounting frame 21, a first auxiliary component 22, and a second auxiliary component 23. Both the first auxiliary component 22 and the second auxiliary component 23 are disposed on the mounting frame 21. The mounting frame 21 is used to lift the first auxiliary component 22 and the second auxiliary component 23 to the required height for processing. The first auxiliary component 22 is configured to cooperate with the drive mechanism 1 to bend the end of the pin of the heating element A of the workpiece 200. The second auxiliary component 23 is configured to cooperate with the drive mechanism 1 to bend the root of the pin of the heating element A of the workpiece 200 and make the pin of the heating element A of the workpiece 200 fit against the mounting base B. With the above structure, after being clamped by the clamping component 12, the workpiece 200 can cooperate with the first auxiliary component 222 and the second auxiliary component 223 on the auxiliary mechanism 2 under the drive of the drive component 11, thereby achieving the bending of the heating element A, thus obtaining a semi-finished product (i.e., the workpiece 200 after the pin of the heating element A is bent) that can be applied to the electronic atomization device, improving the processing efficiency of the semi-finished product, and improving the yield of the semi-finished product by means of the precise mechanical control of the drive mechanism 1 and the auxiliary mechanism 2.
