Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of e-cigarette cartridge assembly technology, and in particular to a positioning device and assembly equipment for assembling e-cigarette cartridge magnets and electrodes. Background Technology

[0002] To promote environmental protection and enable reusability of e-cigarettes, refillable cartridge e-cigarettes have emerged. E-cigarette cartridges generally consist of an e-liquid reservoir, a mouthpiece, and an atomizer coil. The e-liquid reservoir stores e-liquid, while the atomizer coil typically contains a heating wire and wicking material such as cotton or ceramic, responsible for heating and atomizing the e-liquid. When the user uses the e-cigarette, the battery powers the heating wire in the atomizer coil. The heating wire generates heat, which heats the e-liquid in the reservoir, atomizing it into vapor. The user inhales this vapor through the mouthpiece, achieving a smoking-like experience. The cartridge uses magnets to ensure accurate docking and fixation to the e-cigarette's battery. This magnetic attraction allows the cartridge to quickly and securely attach to the battery during installation, preventing accidental loosening or detachment during use and ensuring the overall stability of the e-cigarette structure.

[0003] The electrode pins in the e-cigarette cartridge are key conductive components connecting the cartridge to the battery. Electrical energy from the battery is transferred through the electrode pins to the atomizer coil in the cartridge, heating the coil and atomizing the e-liquid into vapor for the user to inhale. Good conductivity of the electrode pins is crucial for the proper functioning of the e-cigarette; poor contact or conductivity can lead to poor atomization and cartridge malfunction.

[0004] The assembly of magnets and electrode pins in existing e-cigarette cartridges generally involves two processes, both of which are manually positioned and nailed one by one, resulting in extremely low efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Utility Model Content
