COUPLING UNIT AND METHOD FOR INSERTING A SUPPORT FITTED WITH A HYGROSCOPIC PAD IN A BASE DURING THE MANUFACTURE OF A DISPOSABLE CARTRIDGE

摘要

A coupling unit and method for inserting a support fitted with a hygroscopic pad in a base during the manufacture of a disposable cartridge for an electronic cigarette; are provided: a first seat that accepts the support fitted with the hygroscopic pad; a second seat that accepts the base and can be axially aligned with the first seat; a transfer device that inserts the support fitted with the hygroscopic pad in the base by applying a relative axial movement between the support fitted with the hygroscopic pad and the base; and a suction device, which is coupled to a first end of the base opposite to a second end of the base through which the support fitted with the hygroscopic pad enters, and causes suction that acts inside the base.

主权项

1) A coupling unit (25) for inserting a support (4) fitted with a hygroscopic pad (14) in a base (5) during the manufacture of a disposable cartridge (3) for an electronic cigarette (1); the coupling unit (25) comprising:
a first seat (19) that accepts the support (4) fitted with the hygroscopic pad (14); a second seat (22) that accepts the base (5) and can be axially aligned with the first seat (19); and a transfer device that inserts the support (4) fitted with the hygroscopic pad (14) in the base (5) by applying a relative axial movement between the support (4) fitted with the hygroscopic pad (14) and the base (5); the coupling unit (25) being characterized in that it comprises a suction device (28), which is coupled to a first end (29) of the base (5) opposite to a second end (30) of the base (5) through which the support (4) fitted with the hygroscopic pad (14) enters, and causes suction that acts inside the base (5).
