The second linear driver 21 drives the vertical sliding seat 22 to move up and down, so that the lifting frame 10 can be driven to move up and down. Alternatively, the second linear driver 21 may be mounted on an external moving platform or a moving manipulator to drive the clamping mechanism 30 to clamp and transfer the material 200 at other stations onto the first guiding funnel 90a, that is, the material 200 is guided, pulled, and discharged onto the bearing positioning block 82 by the first guiding funnel 90a and the second guiding funnel 90b, which is not limited to this.

The working principle of the guiding and discharging device 100 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

first, the second linear driver 21 drives the lifting frame 10 and the gripping mechanism 30 to move to the previous material taking station by an external moving platform or moving manipulator, the first linear driver 41 drives the driving plate 42 to move upwards, and the first and second elongated driving grooves 421 and 422 drive the first and second linking rods 33 and 34 to drive the first and second clamping slides 31 and 32 to close together, respectively, so that the first and second clamping jaws 311 and 321 close together to grip the material 200.

At this time, the guiding and closing driving mechanism drives the first guiding clamping plate 50 and the second guiding clamping plate 60 to be at the closed position, and then the second linear driver 21 is driven by the external moving platform or the moving manipulator to drive the lifting frame 10 and the material 200 clamped by the clamping mechanism 30 to move to the position right above the first guiding funnel 90a (as shown in fig. 2 to 5). The second linear driver 21 drives the vertical sliding seat 22 to drive the lifting frame 10 to vertically move downwards.

When the lower end of the material 200 approaches the first guide funnel 90a, even if the material 200 clamped by the clamping mechanism 30 is skewed, under the guide action of the first half funnel-shaped groove 51 and the corresponding second half funnel-shaped groove 61, the skewed material 200 is guided and pulled, so that the material 200 can vertically pass through the first guide funnel 90a; then, the material 200 is further transferred downward to the second guiding funnel 90b, and the second guiding funnel 90b formed by closing the third half funnel-shaped groove 55 and the corresponding fourth half funnel-shaped groove 65 further assists the guiding material 200 to move vertically downward and be accurately and smoothly guided onto the bearing positioning block 82.

At this time, the first propping-open guide post 10a moves downward until the first inclined pushing surface 11 slides against the first inclined pushed surface 53, so as to push the first guiding clamping plate 50 to move leftward; the second opening guide post 10b moves downwards to the second inclined pushing surface 12 to slide against the second inclined pushed surface 63, so that the second guide clamping plate 60 can be pushed to move rightwards; the vertical movement of the first spreader guide post 10a and the second spreader guide post 10b is converted into the horizontal opening movement of the first guide clamping plate 50 and the second guide clamping plate 60. After the first half funnel-shaped groove 51 and the corresponding second half funnel-shaped groove 61 finish the accurate positioning and smooth guiding of the guide material 200 to the bearing positioning block 82 on the lower bearing station, the first guide clamping plate 50 and the second guide clamping plate 60 can be separated from each other to open (as shown in fig. 6 to 8) so as to avoid the clamping mechanism 30 to continuously transfer the material 200 downwards.

Then, when the first linear driver 41 drives the driving plate 42 to move downward, the first and second elongated driving grooves 421 and 422 drive the first and second linking rods 33 and 34 to drive the first and second clamping carriages 31 and 32 to open away from each other, so that the first and second clamping jaws 311 and 321 open away from each other to release the material 200. Meanwhile, the pushing piece 352 is driven to push the material 200 to move downwards under the elastic action of the elastic piece 354, so that the material 200 is prevented from being adhered to the first clamping jaw 311 or the second clamping jaw 321, and the material 200 can be smoothly removed and supported on the bearing positioning block 82, so that the material 200 is guided when discharging is completed.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the material 200 clamped by the clamping mechanism 30 is an elongated steel tube material 201 (as shown in fig. 1) inside the electronic cigarette, that is, the guiding and discharging device 100 of the invention can be widely applied to the electronic cigarette industry, and is not limited to the electronic cigarette industry, and the guiding and discharging device 100 of the invention can be applied to occasions where the material 200 is elongated, the clamping area is small, the material 200 is easy to skew, accurate positioning is required, and accurate loading into a hole is required. Therefore, those skilled in the art can flexibly select the selection, and the details are not repeated here.

Because the lifting frame 10 of the guide discharging device 100 is arranged on the lifting driving mechanism 20, the lifting driving mechanism 20 drives the lifting frame 10 to vertically move up and down; the clamping mechanism 30 and the clamping opening and closing driving mechanism 40 are both arranged on the lifting frame 10, the clamping mechanism 30 is in transmission connection with the clamping opening and closing driving mechanism 40, and the clamping opening and closing driving mechanism 40 drives the clamping mechanism 30 to clamp the material 200 or open and release the material 200; the first guide clamping plate 50 and the second guide clamping plate 60 can move in an opening and closing mode along the left-right direction, first half funnel-shaped grooves 51 which are in one-to-one correspondence with the materials 200 clamped by the clamping mechanism 30 are formed in the first guide clamping plate 50, and second half funnel-shaped grooves 61 which are in one-to-one correspondence with the first half funnel-shaped grooves 51 are formed in the second guide clamping plate 60; when the first guide clamping plate 50 and the second guide clamping plate 60 are closed, the first half funnel-shaped groove 51 and the corresponding second half funnel-shaped groove 61 are closed to form a first guide funnel 90a for the guide material 200 to vertically pass through downwards, and the first guide funnel 90a is positioned below the corresponding material 200 clamped by the clamping mechanism 30; the first propping-up guide post 10a is fixed on the left side of the lifting frame 10, and the first propping-up guide post 10a is detachably associated with the first guide clamping plate 50; the second spreader guide post 10b is fixed on the right side of the lifting frame 10, and the second spreader guide post 10b is detachably associated with the second guide clamping plate 60; after the lower end of the material 200 passes through the first guide funnel 90a, the first guide pillar 10a moving downwards pushes the first guide clamping plate 50 to move leftwards, and the second guide pillar 10b moving downwards pushes the second guide clamping plate 60 to move rightwards, so that the first guide clamping plate 50 and the second guide clamping plate 60 are mutually separated from each other to be spread out of the avoidance clamping mechanism 30 to continuously transfer the material 200 downwards; the first guiding clamping plate 50 and the second guiding clamping plate 60 are both connected to a guiding closing driving mechanism in a transmission way, and when the material 200 is located above the first guiding clamping plate 50, the guiding closing driving mechanism drives the first guiding clamping plate 50 and the second guiding clamping plate 60 to be closed. Then, when the clamping and opening/closing driving mechanism 40 drives the clamping and taking mechanism 30 to clamp the material 200, the lifting driving mechanism 20 drives the lifting frame 10 to move downwards, and at this time, the guiding and closing driving mechanism drives the first guiding clamping plate 50 and the second guiding clamping plate 60 to be at the closed position, when the lower end of the material 200 is close to the first guiding funnel 90a, even if the material 200 clamped by the clamping and taking mechanism 30 is askew, under the guiding action of the first half funnel-shaped groove 51 and the corresponding second half funnel-shaped groove 61, the askew material 200 is guided and pulled, so that the material 200 can be vertically and accurately positioned through the first guiding funnel 90a and smoothly discharged to a receiving station below, the situation that the material 200 cannot be accurately discharged due to the skew collision is prevented, abnormal shutdown is avoided, the damage condition of the tool is avoided, and the condition of the material 200 is prevented from being scrapped. Moreover, after the lower end of the material 200 passes through the first guiding funnel 90a, the material 200 can be guided and pulled forward, the first supporting guide post 10a moving downwards can push the first guiding clamping plate 50 to move leftwards, and the second supporting guide post 10b moving downwards can push the second guiding clamping plate 60 to move rightwards, so that after the first half funnel-shaped groove 51 and the corresponding second half funnel-shaped groove 61 finish the accurate positioning of the guiding material 200 and smoothly enter the receiving station below, the first guiding clamping plate 50 and the second guiding clamping plate 60 can be separated from each other to avoid the clamping mechanism 30 from moving downwards to transfer the material 200, so that the clamping mechanism 30 is prevented from colliding with the first guiding clamping plate 50 and the second guiding clamping plate 60, and abnormal shutdown and tool damage are further ensured to be avoided.
