Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic cigarettes, specifically to an auxiliary assembly mechanism for sealing silicone plugs in electronic cigarettes. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic cigarettes are electronic products that mimic traditional cigarettes, possessing the same appearance, smoke, taste, and feel, and even offering a wider variety of flavors than regular cigarettes. They work by atomizing nicotine and other substances into vapor for users to inhale. Generally, an electronic cigarette consists of three main parts: a cartridge containing the nicotine solution, an vaporizer, and a battery. The atomizer, powered by the battery, transforms the liquid nicotine in the cartridge into vapor, giving the user a similar sensation to smoking, allowing them to "exhale clouds of smoke," while avoiding many of the harmful substances found in traditional cigarettes.

[0003] As a crucial component of e-cigarettes, the sealing silicone plug has an inner hole and primarily serves a sealing function. Currently, the main assembly method for sealing silicone plugs involves workers checking the e-cigarette cartridge for issues after assembly and filling. Once confirmed correct, the silicone plug is manually assembled. This process lacks auxiliary components and requires manual assembly of each plug individually, resulting in long lead times, high labor intensity, and low production efficiency. Furthermore, because the sealing silicone plug is made of elastic material, it is prone to deformation during manual handling, potentially making it difficult to press into the designated position on the e-cigarette. This leads to inconsistent product quality and a less than ideal user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides an auxiliary assembly mechanism for sealing silicone plugs in electronic cigarettes.

The drive motor drives the mounting bracket to slide up and down within a vertical slide rail, thereby moving the vacuum suction component to suction the silicone plug and complete the assembly. This automated assembly significantly improves production efficiency and product assembly quality stability, while also enhancing the user experience. It solves the problems of low production efficiency, high labor intensity, and inconsistent product quality associated with manual assembly of silicone plugs for electronic cigarettes in the existing technology.

[0016] like Figures 1-2As shown, the present invention provides an auxiliary assembly mechanism for sealing silicone plugs in electronic cigarettes, including a drive module 1 and a silicone plug suction module 2. The drive module 1 is provided with a vertical slide rail and a drive motor. The drive motor is driven and connected to the silicone plug suction module 2. The silicone plug suction module 2 includes a mounting bracket 21, a vacuum suction component 22, and a guide clamp component 23. The vacuum suction component 22 is fixedly connected to the front of the mounting bracket 21. The guide clamp component 23 is movably connected to the front of the mounting bracket 21 and is adapted to the vacuum suction component 22. The back of the mounting bracket 21 is slidably connected to the vertical slide rail. The vacuum suction assembly includes a suction manifold and a vacuum generator. The suction manifold is hollow and has multiple suction holes on its surface, all of which communicate with the internal space of the suction manifold. The vacuum generator is also connected to the internal space of the suction manifold, and it can extract air from the internal space of the suction manifold to reduce the air pressure at the suction holes. The vacuum suction assembly also includes a negative pressure gauge with an air pressure sensor located inside the suction manifold. In this embodiment, the drive motor drives the mounting bracket to slide up and down within a vertical slide rail, thereby moving the vacuum suction assembly to suck up the sealing silicone plug and complete the assembly operation. The auxiliary assembly mechanism automates the assembly of the electronic cigarette sealing silicone plug, significantly improving production efficiency and product assembly quality stability, while also enhancing the user experience.

[0017] like Figures 1-2As shown, the mounting bracket 21 includes a fixedly connected mounting main board and a mounting side plate.

The drive cylinder is driven by the guide clamp. In this embodiment, the auxiliary assembly mechanism for the sealing silicone plug of the electronic cigarette adopts a gantry-type hinge design in its power structure design, which can meet the movement in three axes. The drive module can control the silicone plug suction module to move in the vertical direction. The reinforcing rib between the mounting main board and the mounting side plate can ensure the structural stability between the mounting main board and the mounting side plate and prevent loosening. The guide clamp is slidably connected within the guide horizontal slide rail. The drive cylinder is connected to the guide clamp, which can move within a small range along three axes. In operation: the drive module controls the silicone plug suction module to move directly above the sealing silicone plug on the tray. The silicone plug suction module descends, the suction manifold picks up the sealing silicone plug material, the drive cylinder pushes out the guide clamp, and the guide clamp retracts to align the sealing silicone plug, ensuring no deformation or positional shift occurs during assembly. The drive module controls the silicone plug suction module to move directly above the assembled e-liquid cup, then controls the silicone plug suction module to descend and assemble the material onto the cup. During assembly, the front end of the sealing silicone plug is inserted into the cup, the guide clamp releases and retracts, and then continues to descend to insert the two ends of the sealing silicone plug into the cup for a tight fit, completing the sealing silicone plug assembly process.
