Stazione e metodo di controllo del circuito elettrico di sigarette elettroniche

The present invention relates to a station (1) for controlling the electric circuit (C) of cartridges (E) of electronic cigarettes, the cartridges (E) having a longitudinal axis (L) with a first end (L1) and a second end (L2). The electric circuit (C) of each cartridge (E) is arranged at the first end (L1) of the relative longitudinal axis (L). The check station (1) comprises: a conveying device (2) for conveying the cartridges (E) of electronic cigarettes along an advancement direction (A); the conveying device (2) comprises a plurality of holding elements (20) for retaining the cartridges (E) in a horizontal arrangement during their conveying. Moreover, the station (1) comprises a control assembly (3, 4, 5) at a checking area (Z) and, in turn, comprises: - a head (3) provided with an electrical contact (30); the head (3) positioned with a horizontal arrangement along the advancement path (P); the head (3) and the conveying device (2) being reciprocally arranged in such a way that the electrical contact (30) and the electric circuit (C) are facing and aligned with each other when a cartridge (E) is conveyed into the checking area (Z); - movement means (4, 5) arranged for bringing the electric circuit (C) of the cartridge (E) into contact with the electrical contact (30) of the head (3) when the cartridge (E) is conveyed into the checking area (Z).
