Embodiment 4 This embodiment describes in detail how the assembly device automatically assembles the structure of the atomizer electrode connector and the battery rod electrode connector.

The assembly equipment shown in this embodiment has three structures:

The first type is shown in conjunction with FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a top view of another preferred embodiment of the assembly apparatus provided in the embodiment;

In this mode, the insulating ring assembly unit, the outer electrode assembly unit, and the inner electrode assembly unit are sequentially disposed along the rotation direction of the turntable 201.

That is, the insulating ring material vibrating plate 221, the outer electrode material vibrating plate 222 and the inner electrode material vibrating plate 223 are sequentially disposed along the rotating direction of the turntable 201;

And the insulating ring picking arm 211, the first grabbing arm 212 and the second grabbing arm

213 are sequentially disposed along the rotation direction of the turntable 201. See the third embodiment, which is not mentioned in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, in order to realize the atomizer electrode connector or the battery rod electrode connector The first sub-seat 2021, the second sub-seat 2022, and the first sub-seat 2021 and the second sub-seat 2022 are disposed coaxially fixedly away from the turntable 201 in the same manner as shown in FIG. Third seat 2023;

The first sub-seat 2021, the second sub-seat 2022, and the third sub-seat 2023 are cylindrical, and the first sub-seat 2021, the second sub-seat 2022, and the third sub-seat The diameter of 2023 decreases in turn.

As shown in Figure 10, the second sub-mount 2022 is matched with the hollow portion of the insulating ring 302, such that the insulating ring picking arm 211 sets the insulating ring 302 on the second sub-mount 2022; The first sub-mount 2021 is matched with the hollow portion of the outer electrode 301, such that the first grabbing arm 212 sleeves the outer electrode 301 on the first sub-mount 2021;

The third sub-mount 2023 is matched with the hollow portion of the inner electrode 303 such that the second gripping arm 213 sleeves the inner electrode 303 on the third sub-mount 2023.

In this embodiment, the manner of setting the material fixing base 202 is specifically described. Without limitation, the material fixing base 202 can also adopt other setting methods, as long as the material can be placed.

For example, the material holder 202 can also include:

a positioning groove is disposed at the top end of the base for receiving and positioning the insulating ring, and an inner circumferential surface of the positioning groove is matched with an outer circumferential surface of the insulating ring;

A positioning post is fixedly disposed on the base, and one end of the positioning post passes through the positioning slot to pass through the base, and the positioning slot is coaxially disposed with the positioning post, and the positioning post is away from the base The end surface of the one end end is higher than the horizontal plane where the positioning groove is located; the diameter of the positioning post 'J, the diameter of the hollow portion of the insulating ring, so that the insulating ring sleeved on the positioning post Interspersed with the positioning post and received in the positioning groove.

The inner circumferential surface of the positioning groove is matched with the outer circumferential surface of the insulating ring to place the insulating ring in the positioning groove. The insulating ring located in the positioning groove cannot be displaced when the electronic cigarette electrode connector is automatically assembled. Otherwise, the automatic assembly cannot be accurately and efficiently performed. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the insulation ring from occurring. The position is offset, and the positioning post is fixedly disposed inside the base. And one end of the positioning post passes through the positioning slot to pass through the base.

In order to make the insulating ring disposed inside the positioning groove more stable, no sway occurs. The positioning slot is disposed coaxially with the positioning post.

Further, in order to facilitate the detachment of the insulating ring from the material fixing seat, so as to take out the insulating ring, the horizontal plane of the positioning column away from the end surface of the base is higher than the horizontal plane where the positioning groove is located, and the positioning is performed. The diameter of the column is smaller than the diameter of the hollow portion of the insulating ring.

The diameter of the positioning post is smaller than the diameter of the hollow portion of the insulating ring, that is, the gap between the positioning post and the hollow portion of the insulating ring is matched, thereby effectively preventing the hollow portion of the insulating ring from being too tightly coupled with the positioning post. When the insulating ring is taken out, it cannot be taken out due to the assembly being too tight.

The material fixing seat provided by the embodiment enables the insulating ring to be sleeved on the positioning post and received in the positioning groove to prevent the insulation ring from being displaced, thereby affecting the assembly of the electronic device. The precision of the cigarette electrode connector, and the hollow portion of the insulating ring is gap-fitted with the positioning post, so that the insulating ring can be detached from the material fixing seat efficiently and conveniently, thereby improving assembly efficiency and avoiding assembling the insulation.
