[0002] A wire marking machine (also known as a wire marking typewriter or wire marking printer) is a device specifically designed to print identification numbers on wires, cables, optical fibers, and other conductors. It can print characters on materials such as PVC tubing, heat shrink tubing, and self-adhesive labels. It is generally used for secondary wiring identification in electrical control and distribution equipment, and is a dedicated device for wiring identification in electrical control, distribution, and integrated cabling projects. It can meet the needs of power plants, electrical equipment factories, substations, and the power industry for distinguishing and marking wires.

[0003] Publication number CN108466488A discloses a novel wire marking printer, which includes a body with a keyboard, display screen, full cut button, protective cover, wire guide channel, and wire outlet. Under the protective cover are a ribbon cassette, print head, and sleeve. A clamping knob is located on one side of the ribbon cassette, and an adjuster is installed on the sleeve. An automatic wire feeding and take-up device is installed at the wire guide channel of the body. The automatic wire feeding and take-up device includes a fixing frame and a take-up frame. The fixing frame is located at the wire outlet and includes a fixing rod and a fixing ring. The take-up frame is located at the wire guide channel and includes a motor, a wire spool, and a support frame. By setting up the fixing frame and the take-up frame, when the wire marking printer prints wire, the printed end passes through the fixing ring and is fixed to the wire spool. The take-up frame simultaneously feeds and takes up the wire.

[0004] However, existing line marking printers lack a cleaning mechanism for the line tube. Dust, oil stains, and other impurities accumulated on the line tube can affect the positioning accuracy of the line tube during the printing process, resulting in the printed markings being misaligned, blurry, or even out of place. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose a cleaning structure for the wire tube of a wire marking machine. This solves the technical problem that the existing wire marking printers lack a cleaning structure for the wire tube, and the dust, oil stains and other impurities accumulated on the wire tube will affect the positioning accuracy of the wire tube during the printing process, resulting in the printed markings being offset, blurry, or even misaligned.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a cleaning structure for wire conduits of a wire marking machine, including: a middle shell, a placement rack, and cleaning components.

[0008] The middle shell has an open conduit routing channel;

[0009] The placement rack includes an elastic outer snap-fit ​​part and a retainer. The elastic outer snap-fit ​​part is used to connect to the cable tray groove and includes at least one outwardly expanding outer snap-fit ​​plate. When the outer snap-fit ​​plate is inserted into the cable tray groove, the outer snap-fit ​​plate is squeezed inward and snaps into the middle shell. The retainer is located inside the elastic outer snap-fit ​​part and is used to maintain the overall shape of the placement rack. The retainer is connected to the elastic outer snap-fit ​​part, and the elastic outer snap-fit ​​part can deform relative to the retainer.

[0010] The cleaning component is disposed within the retainer and has an opening aligned with the opening direction of the conduit routing groove, allowing the conduit to enter the interior of the cleaning component from the opening.

[0011] In some embodiments, the elastic outer buckle includes two symmetrically arranged outer buckle plates, one end of each of the two outer buckle plates extending from both sides of the conduit routing groove, and is provided with a bracket handle.

[0012] In some embodiments, the two bracket handles are respectively bent into the two outer buckle plates, and the angle formed between the outer side of the bracket handle and the outer side of the outer buckle plate is greater than 90° and less than 180°.

[0013] In some embodiments, a fixing block is provided on the outer side of the outer buckle plate, and a groove is provided in the conduit routing groove. When the outer buckle plate is inserted into the conduit routing groove, the fixing block engages with the groove to fix the position of the outer buckle plate in the conduit routing groove.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cage has a cleaning part placement area inside, and a placement inlet is provided on one side of the cleaning part placement area for the cleaning part to be placed into the cleaning part placement area through the placement inlet. A limit plate is provided on the other side of the cleaning part placement area to prevent the cleaning part from leaving the cleaning part placement area due to the movement of the conduit.

[0015] In some embodiments, the limiting plate is located inside the conduit routing groove, and a through hole with the same opening direction as the conduit routing groove is opened at the position corresponding to the opening of the cleaning component.

[0016] In some embodiments, the retainer includes two symmetrically arranged inner snap plates, each of which has a limiting block at one end near the opening of the conduit routing groove. The limiting block extends from one end of the inner snap plate toward the cleaning component placement area, and a gap is reserved between the two limiting blocks.

[0017] In some embodiments, the limiting plate is provided with limiting ribs on the side opposite to the placement frame.

[0018] In some embodiments, the cleaning component includes a cleaning cotton pad, which is fixedly connected between the two inner snap plates.

[0019] In some embodiments, the opening includes a first cut and a plurality of second cuts. The first cut is aligned with the opening direction of the conduit routing groove. An open guide groove is provided at the opening end of the first cut to guide the conduit to be placed in the first cut. The plurality of second cuts are radially distributed with the other end of the first cut as a reference.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the wire marking machine cleaning structure provided by this utility model, through the setting of a middle shell, a placement rack, and a cleaning component, has a placement rack on the wire routing groove of the middle shell for placing the cleaning component. The cleaning component has an opening in the same direction as the wire routing groove, allowing the wire to enter the interior of the cleaning component from the opening. The cleaning component can then tightly wrap around the wire, ensuring that the wire body can contact the cleaning component and be cleaned during the printing process, preventing dirt on the wire body from affecting the printing effect. Through the setting of the elastic outer buckle and the retainer, when the outer buckle is inserted into the wire routing groove, it is squeezed, causing the outer buckle to retract inward, thereby tightly engaging with the inner wall of the wire routing groove, ensuring the stability of the placement rack connection. The retainer, located inside the elastic outer buckle, can maintain and keep the overall structural shape of the placement rack stable. It also allows the elastic outer buckle to deform and move relative to the retainer within a certain range, providing the necessary flexibility and adaptability, so that the cleaning component can be stably fixed in the appropriate position, ensuring the smoothness and efficiency of the entire printing process.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0030] To address the technical problem of the lack of a cleaning structure for the wire tube in wire marking printers, which causes dust, oil stains, and other impurities to accumulate on the wire tube and affect its positioning accuracy during the printing process, resulting in misaligned or blurry printed markings, this utility model provides a wire tube cleaning structure for wire marking printers. By cleaning the surface of the wire tube in advance through the cleaning structure, better printing results can be ensured.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The wire marking machine conduit cleaning structure includes: a middle shell 1, a placement rack 2, and a cleaning component 3. The middle shell 1 has an open conduit routing groove 11. The placement rack 2 includes an elastic outer buckle and a retainer. The elastic outer buckle is used to connect to the conduit routing groove 11 and includes at least one outwardly expanding outer buckle plate 21. When the outer buckle plate 21 is inserted into the conduit routing groove 11, the outer buckle plate 21 is squeezed inward and engages with the middle shell 1. The retainer is located inside the elastic outer buckle and is used to maintain the overall shape of the placement rack 2. The retainer is connected to the elastic outer buckle and the elastic outer buckle can deform relative to the retainer. The cleaning component 3 is disposed inside the retainer and has an opening that is aligned with the opening direction of the conduit routing groove 11, allowing the conduit to enter the interior of the cleaning component 3 from the opening.

[0032] In this device, the middle shell 1 includes an open conduit routing groove 11 for the printing conduit to pass through. The placement frame 2 includes an elastic outer snap-fit ​​part and a retainer. The elastic outer snap-fit ​​part includes at least one outer snap-fit ​​plate 21 with outward expansion elasticity. When the outer snap-fit ​​plate 21 is inserted into the conduit routing groove 11, due to space constraints, the outer snap-fit ​​plate 21 will be squeezed and thus contract inward, so that it can be snapped and fixed with the inner wall of the conduit routing groove 11, ensuring the stability of the connection of the placement frame 2. The retainer is located inside the elastic outer snap-fit ​​part and can maintain and keep the overall structural shape of the placement frame 2 stable. It also allows the elastic outer snap-fit ​​part to deform and move relative to the retainer within a certain range, providing the necessary flexibility and adaptability, so that the cleaning part 3 can be stably fixed in the appropriate position. The cleaning component 3 is located inside the retainer, and its opening direction is consistent with the opening direction of the cable tray 11, so that the cable can easily enter the interior of the cleaning component 3 from the opening for cleaning and maintenance, ensuring that the cable body can contact the cleaning component 3 and be cleaned during the printing process.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the elastic outer buckle part includes two symmetrically arranged outer buckle plates 21, which achieve a stable connection with the cable tray 11. One end of each of the two outer buckle plates 21 extends from both sides of the cable tray and is provided with a bracket handle 211 so that the user can easily perform installation and disassembly operations.

[0034] Furthermore, the two bracket handles 211 are respectively bent into the two outer buckle plates 21, and the angle formed between the outer side of the bracket handle 211 and the outer side of the outer buckle plate 21 is greater than 90° and less than 180°. This makes the bracket handle 211 form an easy-to-grip protrusion, and the outward bending design significantly improves the convenience of the user when picking up and operating it, reduces the difficulty of applying force, and provides a better operating feel.

[0035] To improve the stability of the placement rack 2 after installation, in this embodiment, a fixing block 212 is provided on the outer side of the outer buckle plate 21, and a groove is provided in the conduit routing groove 11. When the outer buckle plate 21 is inserted into the conduit routing groove 11, the fixing block 212 engages with the groove to fix the position of the outer buckle plate 21 in the conduit routing groove 11, thereby fixing the position of the outer buckle plate 21 and enabling the placement rack 2 to be stably installed in the conduit routing groove 11.

[0036] Furthermore, in some possible embodiments, the fixing block 212 is configured as an inverted triangular structure with an inclined surface extending outward from bottom to top. The bottom end of the inclined surface is connected to the side of the outer buckle plate 21. When the placement rack 2 is installed, the fixing block 212 will not affect the placement rack 2 from sliding into the conduit routing groove 11. When the placement rack 2 slides in, the fixing block 212 and the conduit routing groove 11 press against the outer buckle plate 21 until the fixing block 212 moves to the position corresponding to the groove. At this time, the outer buckle plate 21 provides an outwardly expanding elastic restoring force, so that the fixing block 212 can smoothly enter the groove. At the same time, the outer side of the outer buckle plate 21 abuts against the groove wall of the conduit routing groove 11 to fix the placement rack 2.

[0037] When using the cleaning component 3 to clean the conduit, to prevent the cleaning component 3 from shifting due to the movement of the conduit, in this embodiment, a cleaning component 3 placement area is formed inside the retainer for specifically placing the cleaning component 3. To facilitate the placement of the cleaning component 3, an inlet is provided on one side of the placement area. Through this inlet, the operator can easily place the cleaning component 3 into the placement area. A limiting plate 4 is also provided on the other side of the placement area. The function of the limiting plate 4 is to restrict the position of the cleaning component 3, ensuring that it remains stable during the cleaning process and will not shift due to the movement of the conduit. The limiting plate 4 is located inside the conduit routing groove 11, and a through hole 41 with the same opening direction as the opening of the conduit routing groove 11 is opened at the position corresponding to the opening of the cleaning component 3 to facilitate the insertion of the conduit.

[0038] To secure the cleaning component 3, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some possible embodiments, the retainer includes two symmetrically arranged inner snap plates 22. Each of the two inner snap plates 22 is provided with a limiting block 221 at one end near the slot of the conduit routing groove 11. The limiting block 221 extends from one end of the inner snap plate 22 toward the cleaning component 3 placement area, and a gap is reserved between the two limiting blocks 221. The inner snap-fit ​​plate 22 can be configured to have an inward elastic force, which can stably clamp the cleaning part 3 when it is inserted into the cleaning part 3 placement area. Through the design of the outer snap-fit ​​plate 21 and the inner snap-fit ​​plate 22, it is easy to install and disassemble the placement rack 2 and the cleaning part 3. Its installation is simple and quick. When maintenance or replacement of the cleaning device is required, the operation can be completed quickly, which greatly reduces the downtime caused by maintenance and helps to improve efficiency. Specifically, the bottom of the two outer snap-fit ​​plates 21 and the bottom of the two inner snap-fit ​​plates 22 are connected by a base plate. The base plate, the outer snap-fit ​​plates 21 and the inner snap-fit ​​plates 22 are integrally formed. The two inner snap-fit ​​plates 22 are located between the two outer snap-fit ​​plates 21. Its structure is compact and enhances the overall performance of the wire marking machine.

[0039] Preferably, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the cleaning component 3 includes a cleaning cotton 31, which is snapped between two inner snap plates 22. The cleaning cotton 31 is fixed by clamping it between the two inner snap plates 22.

[0040] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the opening includes a first cut 311 and several second cuts 312. The direction of the first cut 311 is consistent with the opening direction of the cable routing groove 11. It is formed by cutting the top of the cleaning cotton 31 downwards along the vertical direction and is also located in the gap between the limiting blocks 221 to facilitate the smooth access of the cable. An open guide groove 313 is provided at the open end of the first cut 311 to guide the cable to be placed in the first cut 311. Several second cuts 312 are radially distributed with the other end of the first cut 311 as a reference, so that the second cuts 312 have a large accommodating space and can accommodate the insertion and cleaning of cables of different diameters, thereby improving its applicability and flexibility in various application scenarios.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the conduit routing groove 11 is located on the inlet side of the middle shell 1, and is used to clean the conduit using the cleaning component 3 when the conduit enters. A limiting plate 4 is provided on one side of the placement rack 2. The limiting plate 4 is located inside the conduit routing groove 11, so that the limiting plate 4 can abut against one side of the cleaning component 3. The conduit routing groove 11 is located on the inlet side of the middle shell 1. In use, the movement of the conduit will pull the cleaning component 3 into the middle shell 1. The setting of the limiting plate 4 can prevent the cleaning component 3 from disengaging from the inner snap-fit ​​plate 22. In addition, the limiting plate 4 has an upward-opening wire passage hole 41 at the position corresponding to the opening. The wire passage hole 41 allows the conduit to pass through without affecting the printing or cleaning of the conduit.

[0042] Further, please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the limiting plate 4 is provided with a limiting rib 42 on the side opposite to the placement rack 2. The limiting rib 42 is made of a soft material such as rubber, which can prevent the placement rack 2 from shaking after installation and affecting the cleaning effect. At the same time, the limiting rib 42 has a small surface contact with the middle shell 1 to prevent the appearance of the placement rack 2 from being scratched due to repeated handling.

[0043] Working principle: During implementation, the cleaning cotton 31 is placed between the two inner snap-fit ​​plates 22, and the inner snap-fit ​​plates 22 clamp the cleaning cotton 31. Then, the placement frame 2 is placed directly into the conduit routing groove 11, so that the fixing block 212 is snapped into the corresponding groove. At the same time, the outward expansion elasticity of the outer snap-fit ​​plate 21 makes the outer side of the outer snap-fit ​​plate 21 press against the groove wall of the conduit routing groove 11, thereby fixing the placement frame 2. The conduit can be inserted from the opening at the top of the placement frame 2 and the cleaning component 3. When it is necessary to replace the cleaning cotton 31, press the two bracket handles 211 inward respectively, so that the outer snap-fit ​​plate 21 is compressed inward, and the placement frame 2 can be directly removed. Then, the cleaning cotton 31 can be replaced directly.

[0044] This utility model comprises a middle shell 1, a placement rack 2, and a cleaning component 3. The placement rack 2 is mounted on the cable routing groove 11 of the middle shell 1 to hold the cleaning component 3. The cleaning component 3 has an opening aligned with the opening direction of the cable routing groove 11, allowing the cable to enter the cleaning component 3 through the opening. The cleaning component 3 tightly wraps around the cable, ensuring that the cable body can contact the cleaning component 3 and be cleaned during printing, preventing dirt from affecting the printing effect. The outer snap plate 21 is secured by an elastic outer snap-fit ​​part and a retainer. When inserted into the cable tray 11, it is squeezed, causing the outer snap plate 21 to retract inward, thereby tightly engaging with the inner wall of the cable tray 11, ensuring the stability of the connection. It is mounted on the inner side of the elastic outer snap part, which can maintain and keep the overall structural shape of the placement frame 2 stable. It also allows the elastic outer snap part to deform and move relative to the retainer within a certain range, providing the necessary flexibility and adaptability, so that the cleaning part 3 can be stably fixed in the appropriate position, ensuring the smoothness and efficiency of the entire printing process.
