[0002] In the electronic atomizer assembly line, in order to save space and maintain relative stability in the material preparation station, each assembly component needs to be flipped and its posture adjusted during the assembly process. This overcomes the physical limitations of multi-process and multi-directional assembly, so the flipping step is an indispensable and crucial link in the automated assembly line.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-station flipping mechanism applied to an electronic atomizer assembly line, which includes a support base 1. The support base 1 is provided with a plurality of flipping units 2. Each flipping unit 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 and a rotating motor 22. The rotating shaft 21 is connected to the support base 1 by a bearing. A clamping cylinder 23 is fixed on the rotating shaft 21. The clamping cylinder 23 drives two clamping plates 24 that can move closer together or open. The clamping plates 24 are provided with product openings 25 for placing and clamping assembly components. The rotating motor 22 is mounted on the support base 1 and is drivenly connected to the rotating shaft 21.

[0024] In application, the assembly components on the tray are placed into the product port 25 by the feeding mechanism on the electronic atomizer assembly line; then, the clamping cylinder 23 drives the two clamping plates 24 to come together to clamp and fix the assembly components; then, the rotary motor 22 drives the rotary shaft 21 to rotate the clamping plates 24, thereby adjusting the posture of the assembly components; finally, the clamping cylinder 23 drives the two clamping plates 24 to open up to release the clamping of the assembly components, so that the conveying mechanism, robot or assembly mechanism on the electronic atomizer assembly line can take out or assemble the assembly components.

[0025] Based on the above technical solution, this embodiment solves the complexity of multi-process and multi-directional operation in the assembly of electronic atomizers by adjusting the posture of the assembled components through mechanical structure, and realizes the key link of efficient and high-precision automated production. In addition, its value is not only reflected in the improvement of efficiency, but also in reducing human intervention and ensuring product consistency. It is especially suitable for the manufacturing of precision electronic products such as e-cigarettes that have high requirements for cleanliness and sealing. At the same time, it can also effectively reduce labor costs.

[0026] In this embodiment, the rotating unit further includes a crescent-shaped sensing plate 26 and a sensor 27. The crescent-shaped sensing plate 26 is mounted on the rotating shaft 21, and the sensor 27 is mounted on the support base 1 and is used to sense the shape of the crescent-shaped sensing plate 26. When the assembled component on the product port 25 is flipped to adjust its posture, the sensor 27 identifies the position of the crescent-shaped sensing plate 26, thereby enabling the assembled component to be precisely flipped 180 degrees.

[0027] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the rotating shaft 21 is provided with an air guide pipe for connecting to the clamp cylinder 23, and the outer end of the air guide pipe is provided with an air source interface 28. Therefore, when the rotating shaft 21 is driven by the motor to rotate the clamping plate 24, the pipes used to supply air to the clamp cylinder 23 can be prevented from getting tangled.

[0028] In this embodiment, a base 3 is also included, on which an upper slide rail 4 and a shifting cylinder 41 are mounted. An upper sliding block 42 slides on the upper slide rail 4, and a support base 1 is mounted on the upper sliding block 42. The shifting cylinder 41 is kinetically connected to the upper sliding block 42. Therefore, after the feeding mechanism places the assembled component on the tray into the product opening 25, the shifting cylinder 41 drives the upper sliding block 42 to move the support base 1 away from the corresponding position of the feeding mechanism, thereby facilitating the rear-end handling mechanism, robot, or assembly mechanism to remove or assemble the assembled component. After the assembled component on the product opening 25 is removed, the shifting cylinder 41 drives the upper sliding block 42 to reset the support base 1 and move it to the corresponding position of the feeding mechanism, so that the feeding mechanism can place another set of assembled components on the tray into the product opening 25.

[0029] In this embodiment, the base 3 is equipped with a lower slide rail 5, a lower slide block seat 51 slides on the lower slide rail 5, a lifting drive module 52 is installed on the lower slide block seat 51, the lifting drive module 52 drives a lifting frame 53, another support seat 1 is installed on the lifting frame 53, and the displacement cylinder 41 is connected to the lower slide block seat 51 in a transmission connection.

[0030] When the shifting cylinder 41 drives the upper slider seat 42 to move the support seat 1 away from the position corresponding to the feeding mechanism, the shifting cylinder 41 simultaneously drives the other support seat 1 of the lower slider seat 51 to move to the position corresponding to the feeding mechanism, so that the feeding mechanism can put the assembled parts on the tray into the product opening 25 on the other support seat 1 of the lower slider seat 51.

[0031] After the rear-end handling mechanism, robot, or assembly mechanism removes the assembled components from the support seat 1 of the upper slider seat 42, the shift cylinder 41 drives the upper slider seat 42 to reset the support seat 1, moving it to the position corresponding to the feeding mechanism, so that the feeding mechanism can place another set of assembled components on the tray into the product opening 25. At this time, the shift cylinder 41 also synchronously drives the other support seat 1 of the lower slider seat 51 to move away from the position corresponding to the feeding mechanism, so that the rear-end handling mechanism, robot, or assembly mechanism can remove the assembled components from the other support seat 1 of the lower slider seat 51. Therefore, the flipping efficiency and feeding efficiency can be effectively improved. Before the support seat 1 of the upper slider seat 42 moves to intersect with the other support seat 1 of the lower slider seat 51, the lifting drive module 52 drives the lifting frame 53 to lower the other support seat 1 on the lifting frame 53 to avoid the support seat 1 of the upper slider seat 42. After the support seat 1 of the upper slider seat 42 moves to intersect with the other support seat 1 of the lower slider seat 51, the lifting drive module 52 drives the lifting frame 53 to reset the other support seat 1 on the lifting frame 53.

[0032] In this embodiment, a transmission belt 31 is mounted on the base 3, and a shifting cylinder 41 drives the upper sliding block 42 to move. The upper sliding block 42 is equipped with an upper fixing plate 43 fixed to the upper layer of the transmission belt 31, and the lower sliding block 51 is equipped with a lower fixing plate 54 fixed to the lower layer of the transmission belt 31. When the shifting cylinder 41 drives the upper sliding block 42 to move, the upper sliding block 42 drives the lower sliding block 51 to move synchronously in the opposite direction by driving the transmission belt 31. Therefore, only one power module is needed to drive the upper sliding block 42 and the lower sliding block 51 to move in opposite directions, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the equipment and the space occupied.

[0033] In this embodiment, buffers 44 are installed at both ends of the upper slide rail 4 and the lower slide rail 5 to reduce the vibration caused when the upper slider seat 42 moves to both ends of the upper slide rail 4 and when the lower slider seat 51 moves to both ends of the lower slide rail 5.

[0034] Although the embodiments of this utility model are described with reference to actual solutions, they do not constitute a limitation on the meaning of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, modifications to the implementation schemes and combinations with other schemes based on this specification are obvious.
