Description

    CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
  • This application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/CN2014/088031, titled “APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING LIQUID STORAGE COTTON”, filed on Sep. 30, 2014, the entire disclose of which is incorporated herein by this reference.
  • TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present application relates to the field of manufacturing electronic cigarette parts, and in particular to an apparatus for manufacturing liquid storage cotton.
  • BACKGROUND
  • An electronic cigarette includes a liquid storage assembly for storing cigarette liquid and an atomizing assembly for atomizing cigarette liquid in structure. Specifically, the atomizing assembly further includes an electric heating wire assembly for atomizing cigarette liquid. When the electronic cigarette operates, cigarette liquid flows into an atomizing chamber of the atomizing assembly from the liquid storage assembly, and the electric heating wire is powered by a battery rod to generate heat so as to atomize the cigarette liquid into smoke. In order to improve the efficiency of atomization of the electric heating wire, cigarette liquid is generally required to be stored around the electric heating wire uniformly, and in an existing electronic cigarette, the cotton used as a part by which cigarette liquid is stored around the electric heating wire uniformly is of columnar.
  • In conventional art, an apparatus for manufacturing the columnar cotton includes a melt-blown machine and a receiving device. As shown in FIG. 1, a base 101 is provided on the receiving device, and a first fixing seat 102, a second fixing seat 103, a first electrical motor 104, a second motor 105 and a rolling device 106 are provided at two ends of the base 101. A threaded guiding rod 107 is in an interference fit with the first fixing seat 102 and the second fixing seat 103, and a roller 108 is further provided on the second fixing seat 103. Both of the first electrical machine 104 and the second electrical machine 105 are connected to the threaded guiding rod 107 on the first fixing seat 103 through conveyor belts, and the melt-blown machine is located at a side of the threaded guiding rod 107 between the first fixing seat 102 and the second fixing seat 103. When the apparatus operates, the melt-blown machine blows cotton onto the threaded guiding rod 107. The threaded guiding rod 107 can be rotated by the first electrical machine 104, and the threaded guiding rod 107 can be rotated and moved by the second electrical machine 105, which may lead a different rotation speed with that rotated by the first electrical machine 104, such that the columnar cotton on the threaded guiding rod 107 is rotated and moved to another side of the second fixing seat 103 by the rolling device 106 on the second fixing seat 103. This process repeats and many pieces of columnar cotton are manufactured.
  • As the processing for electronic cigarette is getting fine, the diameter of the columnar cotton of the electronic cigarette is required to be small. In conventional art, however, when the columnar cotton to be manufactured is relatively small, the threaded guiding rod is required to have a very small diameter. If the diameter of the threaded guiding rod is too small, the frictional force between the threaded guiding rod and the cotton affixed on the threaded guiding rod is relatively small. Thus, when the columnar cotton is delivered outward by the threaded guiding rod through the second fixing seat, the columnar cotton may be stayed inbetween the first fixing seat and the second fixing seat when being blocked due to the relatively small frictional force between the columnar cotton and the threaded guiding rod. Thus the columnar cotton is unable to be delivered outward. Moreover, the columnar cotton manufactured by the threaded guiding rod forms a groove with an internal thread pattern due to the action of threads. Thus, the amount of cigarette can be stored is limited, and the flow of smoke is also blocked.

  • The melt-blown device is located at a side of the receiving section and blows melted threads to the receiving section continuously. The receiving section is rotated by the first power device to form the columnar cotton.
  • The apparatus for manufacturing liquid storage cotton further includes a detaching assembly 205, which is configured to detach the columnar cotton from the melted thread receiving rod 203 when the melted thread receiving rod 203 is rotated by the first power device 204 to form the columnar cotton.
  • The detaching assembly 205 includes a threaded sleeve 206 provided with inner threads, and the melted thread receiving rod 203 is arranged in a direct line with the threaded sleeve 206.
  • When columnar cotton is formed on the melted thread receiving rod 203, the inner threads of the threaded sleeve 206 closely fit the columnar cotton and allow the columnar cotton to be detached from the melted thread receiving rod 203.
  • When the inner threads of the threaded sleeve 206 closely fit the columnar cotton, the frictional force between the threaded sleeve and the columnar cotton is larger than the frictional force between the columnar cotton and the melted thread receiving rod. Therefore, the columnar cotton can be detached from the melted thread receiving rod and moved as the melted thread receiving rod rotates.
  • In the present embodiment, the threaded sleeve are provided with the inner threads to fit the columnar cotton, in this way, the diameter of the threaded sleeve is larger than the diameter of the melted thread receiving rod, thus the area of the inner threads of the threaded sleeve contacting with the columnar cotton is increased, thereby the frictional force is increased and transmission efficiency is improved.
  • In the embodiment described above, the melted thread receiving rod is rotated by the first power device, allowing a frictional force to be generated between the columnar cotton on the melted thread receiving rod and an inner side of the threaded sleeve and further allowing the columnar cotton to be detached from the melted thread receiving rod. In practical use, the detaching assembly further includes a second power device which is configured to rotate the threaded sleeve so as to detach the columnar cotton from the melted thread receiving rod. The second power device of the detaching assembly will be described below in conjunction with
  • FIG. 3. Another embodiment of the apparatus for manufacturing liquid storage cotton includes:
      • a melt-blown device 201 and a melt-blown cotton receiving device 202 configured to receive melted threads blown from the melt-blown device to manufacture columnar liquid storage cotton.
