Rather, these embodiments are provided to make this application more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of this application to those skilled in the art.

[0018] It should be understood that although the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., may be used in this application to describe various information, this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0020] Currently, most products requiring screw-on caps are tightened manually. This method is not only inefficient, but also prone to inconsistent tightness, leading to a high defect rate.

[0021] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an automatic cap-tightening machine that can replace manual labor in tightening caps on products, improving product uniformity and thus increasing product yield.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] See Figure 1 An automatic hat-tightening machine includes: a loading device 100 and a tightening device 200. The tightening device 100 is located above the loading device 200. The tightening device 200 includes a pressing component 210 and a tightening component 220. The pressing component 210 includes a first driving member 211 and a mounting plate 212. The first driving member 211 is disposed on the mounting plate 212. The tightening component 220 includes a second driving member 221 and a locking block 222. The locking block 222 is disposed on the second driving member 221. The second driving member 221 is disposed on the mounting plate 212. The second driving member 221 is used to drive the locking block 222 to rotate. The first driving member 211 is used to drive the mounting plate 212 to move towards the loading device 100.

[0024] It should be noted that the loading device 100 is used to place products that need to be tightened. The first driving component 211 drives the mounting plate 212 to press down, thereby driving the locking block 222 to approach the product. The second driving component 221 then drives the locking block 222 to tighten the product. This process is an automated tightening process, replacing manual labor and improving efficiency. Furthermore, using the second driving component 221 to drive the locking block 222 to tighten the product ensures uniform tightness for each product, thereby improving the yield rate. The product can be an electronic cigarette.

[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Preferably, the second driving component 221 includes a rotating shaft 2211, a first pulley 2212, a belt, a second pulley 2213, and a motor 2214. The first pulley 2212 is mounted on the rotating shaft 2211, which is mounted on the mounting plate 212. The first pulley 2212 is connected to the second pulley 2213 via the belt. The second pulley 2213 is mounted on the motor 2214, which is mounted on the mounting plate 212. The motor 2214 drives the second pulley 2213 to rotate, thereby driving the first pulley 2212, the rotating shaft 2211, and the locking block 222 to rotate.

[0026] Preferably, the first driving component 211 is a cylinder.

[0027] It should be noted that motor 2214 is a torque motor, and rotating shaft 2211 is the rotating shaft sleeve of the torque motor.

[0028] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​block 222 has a snap-fit ​​slot 2221.

[0029] It should be noted that the slot 2221 is used to fit with the top of the product, so that the part of the product that needs to be tightened can be inserted into the slot 2221, thereby facilitating the second drive component 221 to drive the locking block 222 to tighten the product.

[0030] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the screwing assembly 220 further includes a clamping block 223, a support post 224, and a rubber ring 225. The clamping block 223 is located on one side of the snap-fit ​​block 222, the support post 224 is disposed on the clamping block 223, and the rubber ring 225 is sleeved on the support post 224.

[0031] It should be noted that the support column 224 and the rubber ring 225 are used to clamp the parts of the product that need to be tightened, and the rubber ring 225 can provide a certain amount of friction. At the same time, the rubber ring 225 can also prevent scratching the parts of the product that need to be tightened.

[0032] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the loading device 100 includes a horizontal moving component 110, which includes a third driving member 111, a moving plate 112, and a guide rail 113. The third driving member 111 is connected to the moving plate 112, and the moving plate 112 is disposed on the guide rail 113.

[0033] See Figure 5 Specifically, the loading device 100 also includes a limiting component 120, which includes a base 121, a push block 122, a guide rod 123 and a locking clamp 124. The base 121 is mounted on the movable plate 112 and has a clearance opening 1211. The push block 122 faces the clearance opening 1211. The guide rod 123 is connected to the push block 122 and the locking clamp 124 is mounted on the guide rod 123.

[0034] Preferably, the third driving component 111 is a cylinder.

[0035] It should be noted that the third driving component 111 drives the moving plate 112 to move on the guide rail 113. The base 121 is used to place the product. When the third driving component 111 moves the base 121 directly below the snap block 222, the first driving component 211 drives the mounting plate 212 to press down, thereby driving the snap block 222 to approach the product. Then the second driving component 221 drives the snap block 222 to tighten the product.

[0036] It should also be noted that, in order to prevent the product from rotating during the tightening process, when the product is placed into the base 121, the locking clip 124 can be pressed, and the guide rod 123 can be used to push the push block 122 against the side wall of the product, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the product.

[0037] See Figure 5 In one embodiment, the base 121 has a slot 1212, which communicates with the recess 1211. It can be understood that the slot 1212 is used to place the product.

[0038] See Figure 3 In one embodiment, an automatic cap tightening machine further includes a baffle 300 located on one side of the mounting plate 212.

[0039] It's understandable that the baffle 300 can block dust when the capping machine is not in use.

[0040] See Figure 4In one embodiment, an automatic cap tightening machine further includes an exhaust fan 400, which is disposed on a baffle 300.

[0041] It is understandable that by setting up the exhaust fan 400, airflow can be increased to prevent heat buildup in the motor 2211 and the reducer 2214 during long-term operation.
