Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic cigarette manufacturing, and in particular to an automatic battery cell mounting device for electronic cigarettes. Background Technology

[0002] The battery cell for e-cigarettes is the core component that provides energy to e-cigarettes. It is usually a lithium-ion battery. The battery cell can be mounted on the substrate of the e-cigarette module using a mounting device to meet the requirements of assembly accuracy and production efficiency.

[0003] However, existing electronic cigarette battery cell mounting devices have shortcomings. First, existing mounting devices lack efficient positioning structures for positioning the battery cell and substrate, resulting in low mounting efficiency. Second, after the electronic cigarette battery cell is mounted, there is a lack of structures to accelerate the curing of the adhesive layer, making the battery cell susceptible to displacement due to external forces. Therefore, an automatic battery cell mounting device for electronic cigarettes is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic battery cell mounting device for electronic cigarettes, which aims to improve the existing mounting devices by addressing the lack of an efficient positioning structure for positioning the battery cell and substrate, the low mounting efficiency, and the lack of a structure to accelerate the curing of the adhesive layer after the electronic cigarette battery cell is mounted, which makes the battery cell susceptible to displacement due to external forces.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic battery cell mounting device for electronic cigarettes, comprising a base, a support frame fixedly connected to the middle of the rear side of the base, a cylinder fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame, a connector fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder, a vacuum suction cup fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connector, a lead screw rotatably connected to the middle of the inner wall of the base via a bearing, stroke blocks threadedly connected to both sides of the surface of the lead screw, crossbars fixedly connected to both sides of the stroke blocks, a support block fixedly connected to the top of the stroke blocks, a clamping plate fixedly connected to the top of the support blocks, positioning components installed on both sides inside the base, and a wind-cooling component installed at the bottom of the support frame;

[0006] The positioning assembly includes a side frame, two positioning rods, and two inclined grooves. The side frame is located inside the base on one side, the two positioning rods are fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the side frame, and the two inclined grooves are respectively opened on both sides of the inner wall of the side frame.

[0008] The air-cooling assembly includes a fan and an air outlet. The fan is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rear side of the stand, and the air outlet is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front side of the stand. The output end of the fan is connected to the interior of the air outlet.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The top surface of the side frame contacts the crossbar. Both ends of the bottom of the inner wall of the base are provided with through holes one, and the two sides of the bottom of the side frame are respectively connected to two of the through holes one. The middle of the top of the base is provided with four through holes two, and the positioning rod is inserted into the through holes two.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The base has displacement openings on both sides of its top end, and the support block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the displacement opening.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] In this invention, by starting the geared motor, the clamping plates on both sides are moved to both ends, which will correspondingly cause the positioning rod to extend and position the battery cell. After the battery cell is gripped, the geared motor is started again to move the clamping plates on both sides closer together. At this time, the positioning rod will be lowered accordingly, and the substrate can be placed on the base to clamp and position it. After the mounting is completed, the clamping plates on both sides are moved to the ends again to release the clamping of the substrate. At the same time, the positioning rod can be used to lift it up for easy removal, and the positioning and mounting of the next battery cell can be carried out. The mounting process is highly efficient.

[0023] In this invention, after the battery cell is mounted, a fan is started to introduce external air.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic battery cell mounting device for electronic cigarettes, comprising a base 1, a support frame 2 fixedly connected to the middle of the rear side of the base 1, a cylinder 3 fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame 2, a connector 4 fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 3, the cylinder 3 driving the connector 4 to move up and down through telescopic movement, a vacuum suction cup 5 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connector 4, which picks up the electronic cigarette battery cell through vacuum adsorption principle, achieving gripping; a lead screw 9 rotatably connected to the middle of the inner wall of the base 1 via a bearing, and stroke blocks 10 threadedly connected to both sides of the surface of the lead screw 9, the lead screw 9 rotating, using threaded transmission to drive the stroke blocks 10 on both sides. Block 10 moves along the axis of lead screw 9. Crossbars 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the travel block 10. Crossbars 15 can move with the travel block 10. Support block 11 is fixedly connected to the top of travel block 10. Clamping plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of support block 11. By the mutual approach of the clamping plates 12 on both sides, the substrate placed on the base 1 is clamped and positioned to ensure the mounting accuracy. Positioning components are installed on both sides inside the base 1 to position the battery cell when it is placed to ensure that the battery cell is placed in the designated position. Air cooling components are installed at the bottom of the stand 2. After mounting, air cooling is used to accelerate the curing of the adhesive layer, improve production efficiency and prevent the battery cell from shifting.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 The positioning assembly includes a side frame 16, two positioning rods 17, and two inclined grooves 18. The side frame 16 is located inside the base 1 on one side. The two positioning rods 17 are fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the side frame 16. When the side frame 16 rises, the positioning rods 17 can extend out of the top surface of the base 1 to position the placed battery cell and lift the substrate after mounting for easy removal. The two inclined grooves 18 are respectively opened on both sides of the inner wall of the side frame 16. The inclined grooves guide the side frame 16 to generate vertical displacement when the crossbar 15 moves.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The air-cooled assembly includes a fan 19 and an air outlet 21. The fan 19 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rear side of the stand 2 and uses the input end to introduce external air to provide a source of air cooling. The air outlet 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front side of the stand 2, and the output end of the fan 19 is connected to the interior of the air outlet 21 to blow the airflow generated by the fan 19 to the mounting station to accelerate the curing of the adhesive layer.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-3 The side frame 16 contacts the top surface of the crossbar 15, which can provide support and prevent the side frame 16 from moving downward. Both ends of the bottom of the inner wall of the base 1 are provided with through holes 22, and the two sides of the bottom of the side frame 16 are respectively connected to two of the through holes 22. The through holes 22 provide a guide channel for the lifting and lowering of the side frame 16 to ensure the stability of the movement. Four through holes 23 are provided in the middle of the top of the base 1, and the positioning rod 17 is inserted into the through holes 23. The through holes 23 provide a path for the extension and retraction of the positioning rod 17.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base 1 has displacement openings 14 on both sides of the top, and the support block 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the displacement opening 14. The displacement opening 14 provides space for the movement of the support block 11 and guides it to ensure that the clamping plate 12 moves in a straight line and avoids deviation that affects the clamping accuracy.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 A geared motor 8 is fixedly installed in the middle of one side of the base 1, and the output end of the geared motor 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw 9. The geared motor 8 provides rotational power to the lead screw 9. The threads on both sides of the surface of the lead screw 9 are in opposite directions, so that the travel blocks 10 on both sides move in opposite directions when the lead screw 9 rotates.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 A guide rail 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the front side of the stand 2. A guide member 6 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rail 7, and the guide member 6 is fixedly connected to the connector 4. The guide rail 7 and the guide member 6 cooperate to provide guidance for the vertical movement of the connector 4, ensuring that the vacuum suction cup 5 rises and falls vertically and improving the gripping accuracy.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 The input end of the fan 19 is fitted with a filter 20, which filters dust and impurities in the air to prevent contamination of the mounting station and adhesive layer.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 A rubber strip 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the clamping plate 12. The rubber strip 13 increases the friction between the clamping plate 12 and the substrate, preventing the substrate from sliding during clamping, and also acts as a buffer to prevent the clamping plate 12 from damaging the substrate surface.

[0040] Working principle: The reduction motor 8 drives the lead screw 9 to rotate. Because the lead screw 9 has opposite thread directions and is guided by the displacement port 14, the stroke blocks 10 on both sides can move in opposite directions, thereby causing the clamping plates 12 on both sides to move closer or further apart. When placing the electronic cigarette cell, the reduction motor 8 moves the clamping plates 12 to both ends. At this time, the stroke blocks 10 drive the crossbar 15 to move, and together with the inclined groove 18, press the side frame 16 upwards, thereby causing the positioning rod 17 to extend and position the cell. Then, the cylinder 3 drives the vacuum suction cup 5 below the connector 4 to move downwards until it adheres to the cell. Vacuum adsorption is used to grip the cell and move it upwards. Then, the reduction motor 8 is activated to... When the two clamping plates 12 approach each other, the positioning rod 17 will descend accordingly, allowing the substrate to be placed on the base 1 for clamping and positioning. After applying an adhesive layer to the mounting area, the cylinder 3 is activated to move the gripped battery cell downwards and attach it to the substrate, completing the mounting process. After mounting the battery cell, the fan 19 is activated to introduce external air. After the dust is filtered by the filter screen 20, the air is blown from the exhaust head 21 to the mounting station. The air cooling accelerates the curing of the adhesive layer between the battery cell and the substrate, preventing the battery cell from shifting due to external forces. After mounting is completed, the two clamping plates 12 are moved to the end again to release the clamping of the substrate. At the same time, the positioning rod 17 can lift the substrate for easy removal, and the next battery cell can be positioned and mounted. The mounting process is highly efficient.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
