Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power equipment, specifically relating to a secondary cable conduit label and its matching printing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the context of highly integrated and automated power grids, secondary wiring constitutes a significant portion of the cabling in substations. To clarify the function and routing of each wiring within the vast and complex electrical connection network, a common practice is to use wire marking machines to print wire numbers on PVC conduits or heat-shrink tubing, and then thread the conduits through the 0.5 to 6 square millimeter wires (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown). Commonly used wire marking machines mainly employ thermal transfer technology to print wire numbers onto the surface of the sleeve, with a printable width of approximately 2 / 3 of the sleeve diameter. Besides the common wire marking machine printing secondary wiring identification sleeves, cable and other wiring identification is primarily achieved by attaching separately printed tags with cable routing instructions to cotton ropes or plastic cable ties. However, this method suffers from problems such as plastic aging and breakage, cotton rope aging and breakage, and tangling.
[0003] Currently, due to the limited area available for printing wire number markings on traditional bushings, the bushing length must be increased when dealing with long cable numbers. Sometimes, this necessitates sacrificing some spacing or font size for the printed wire number markings, making it inconvenient for workers to check the wire numbers. Furthermore, with the miniaturization of equipment cabinets in substations, especially in GIS switch cabinets, terminal blocks and secondary cables are arranged very closely. To accommodate the narrow terminal block spacing, longer bushings are forced to bend along with the cables, making it very inconvenient for on-site workers to check wire numbers and increasing the risk of electric shock. Moreover, the spacing between cable marking bushings has become very narrow with the miniaturization of cabinet equipment, making it very difficult for workers to rotate the bushings to check the wire numbers. This process can easily lead to loosening of the secondary wiring itself or adjacent secondary wiring, increasing the risk of malfunctions.
[0004] Furthermore, staff often have to lean in to check the cable numbers arranged vertically in narrow cabinets, which also increases the risk of electric shock. The cable identification tags, secured with cotton thread or plastic ties, also suffer from aging, breakage, tangling, and difficulty in identification. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a secondary cable conduit label and matching printing equipment, which can effectively address the problems encountered during the inspection of secondary wiring in narrow cabinets, reduce personnel work risks, improve work efficiency, and reduce the probability of hidden dangers.

[0011] Preferably, the mechanical conveying module is located at the bottom of the supporting printing equipment and includes: a track, one end of which is located at the cable inlet of the supporting printing equipment housing, and the other end is connected to the motor chamber wall located inside the housing, for conveying cable sheath tape; the cable sheath tape is composed of multiple hollow sheaths of cable sheath labels connected end to end; a first gear set, located on one side of the track, including: a cable inlet motor, on which a first gear is connected; two second gears meshing with each other, wherein the upper second gear meshes with the first gear, and the rotation of the cable inlet motor drives the rotation of the first gear, which in turn drives the rotation of the second gear; two rollers, each connected to a corresponding second gear, and the rotation of the second gear drives the rotation of the rollers; a connecting shaft is provided at the center of the shafts of the two rollers, and an adjusting bolt is provided on the connecting shaft to adjust the gap between the two rollers.
[0012] Preferably, the cutting module includes scissors disposed at one end of the track near the motor chamber wall for cutting cable sheath tape to form individual cable sheath labels; the printing module is disposed above the side of the track connected to the motor chamber wall, and includes a print head, with a support platform disposed below the print head for holding individual cable sheath labels.
[0013] Preferably, the mechanical conveying module further includes: a first conveying motor, which is disposed on the outside of the motor chamber wall; a lever device, which is disposed at the end of the track connected to the motor chamber wall and connected to the first conveying motor, for fixing a single cable sleeve label to the support platform of the printing module; a second conveying motor, connected to a drive wheel, the second conveying motor driving the drive wheel to rotate; a first roller group, connected through the lever device; a second roller group, meshing with the drive wheel; the second roller group includes a tape winding roller, a third connecting shaft, and a fourth connecting shaft meshing with each other, the fourth connecting shaft being connected to the drive wheel.
[0014] Preferably, the lever device includes a horizontal connecting rod and a vertical connecting rod; the first roller assembly includes a first tube roller and a second tube roller with their axes at the same horizontal height; a first connecting shaft is provided between the first tube roller and the second tube roller; a second connecting shaft is provided on the side of the second tube roller symmetrical to the first tube roller, and the axis of the second connecting shaft is at the same height as the axis of the second tube roller; the horizontal connecting rod connects the axes of the first tube roller, the second tube roller, and the second connecting shaft.

[0016] In summary, compared with the prior art, the secondary cable sleeve label and matching printing equipment provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
[0017] (1) Secondary cable conduit labels not only improve on-site work efficiency, but also reduce on-site work risks: Compared with traditional conduits, the conduit labels have added an integrated sheet label, which can be arranged vertically, effectively utilizing the narrow area under the cable and not affecting the aesthetics of the cable arrangement in the cabinet; Traditional conduits are limited by the cable arrangement and are easy to bend with the cable, while secondary cable conduit labels are more flexible than traditional conduits, which will reduce the difficulty for operators to rotate and check the cable number on the conduit and reduce the hidden dangers caused by pulling the cable; The wire number printing direction on the sheet label is suitable for conventional reading habits, reducing the risk of electric shock caused by operators leaning into the cabinet to check the wire number;
[0018] (2) The sheet label structure reduces equipment operation and maintenance risks: The limited printable area on traditional sleeves makes it difficult to balance the sleeve length and print size when marking long wire numbers. The integrated sheet label on the secondary cable sleeve increases the printable area for wire numbers, which is conducive to the standardization of sleeve labels, while taking into account the sleeve length and print size. The increased marking range on the sheet label is conducive to the modification of wire numbers and the marking of cable functions during subsequent operation and maintenance, reducing the risks caused by operators disassembling and assembling sleeves to modify wire numbers, and reducing the number of devices that operators carry on site.
[0019] (3) The accompanying printing equipment enhances ease of operation: Traditional wire marking machines mainly rely on keyboard input for wire marking and sleeve size modification. This accompanying printing equipment adds a Bluetooth module, allowing the printing module to be controlled via a mobile app, thus improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following will be combined with the appendix in the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 1 ~Attached Figure 11 The technical solutions, structural features, objectives and effects achieved in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
[0032] It should be noted that the accompanying drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions. They are only used to facilitate and clarify the purpose of illustrating the embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation conditions of the present invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportional relationship, or adjustments to the size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention, provided that they do not affect the effects and objectives that the present invention can produce.
[0033] It should be noted that, in this invention, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only the expressly listed elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0034] Because substation cabling includes a large number of secondary cables, existing technology involves using a wire marking machine to print wire numbers on PVC conduits or heat-shrink tubing to indicate the cable type and function in order to identify the function and route of each cable in a complex electrical connection network. The conduit is then threaded over the cable. Figure 1 As shown. Because the area that can be printed on the traditional sleeve is limited, only 0.5 to 6 square millimeters, if the cable number is long, the sleeve length must be increased accordingly, or the spacing or font size of the wire number markings must be reduced, which makes it inconvenient for operators to check the wire numbers.
[0035] Therefore, this invention provides a secondary cable conduit label, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the secondary cable sheath label includes: a hollow sheath 100, which is worn over the cable during use; and a sheet label 200, one side of which is connected to the outer wall of the hollow sheath 100 to provide a printing position for printing cable-related information onto the sheet label 200. The sheet label 200 and the hollow sheath 100 are integrally formed and smoothly connected by an arc-shaped connecting portion 201.
[0036] In this embodiment, the sheet label 200 has a length of 25-30 mm, a width of 15 mm, and a thickness of 1-1.5 mm; the compatibility between the specifications of the hollow sleeve 100 and the cable cross-sectional dimensions is shown in Table 1.
[0037] Table 1 shows the compatibility between hollow sleeve specifications and cable outer diameter.
[0038]
[0039] Based on the secondary cable sleeve label proposed in this invention, traditional wire marking machine printing methods are no longer applicable. Therefore, this invention provides a matching printing device adapted to this secondary cable sleeve label, used to print cable information on the sheet label 200 of the secondary cable sleeve label, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, the supporting printing equipment includes: a housing 101, which contains: a power module 1A for supplying power to the supporting printing equipment; a human-machine interface module 2B, whose input terminal is connected to a control module 3C for transmitting printing commands to the control module 3C; the control module 3C is connected to a cutting module 4D, a printing module 5E, and a mechanical conveying module 6F, respectively, and generates corresponding control commands from the printing commands to control the operation of the cutting module 4D, the printing module 5E, and the mechanical conveying module 6F.
[0040] The power module 1A is connected to the human-machine interaction module 2B, control module 3C, cutting module 4D, printing module 5E, and mechanical conveying module 6F, respectively, to supply power to each module. Figure 5As shown, the power module 1A can be powered by battery 5; or it can be connected to the city power grid via an external connector 25 equipped with a rectifier module (e.g., Figure 3 As shown in the figure, it supplies power to the various modules in the supporting printing equipment.
[0041] The human-computer interaction module 2B includes a first mode and a second mode; the first mode is to use a mobile app to send the printing command to the control module 3C in the printing device via Bluetooth; or as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the top of the housing of the supporting printing equipment is equipped with a human-computer interaction module 2B consisting of a backlit display screen 1 and a keypad 2 connected for communication; the second mode is based on the backlit display screen 1 and the keypad 2, providing printing instructions for on-site work in special circumstances (i.e. when the first mode cannot send printing instructions).
[0042] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, two movable support plates 3 are provided below the backlit display screen 1 and the keypad 2. The support plates 3 are arranged parallel to each other to form a placement space, within which the control module 3C is placed. Figure 11 As shown, the control module 3C includes a relay unit, a communication unit, a storage unit, a sensor unit, and a drive motor unit. The human-machine interface module 2B transmits user printing commands to the communication unit of the control module 3C via a keypad 2 or a mobile app combined with a Bluetooth module. The communication unit then transmits the printing commands to the drive motor unit, controlling the mechanical conveying module 6F and the cutting module 4D to convey and cut the cable sheath tape (the cable sheath tape is composed of multiple hollow sheaths 100 with cable sheath labels connected end-to-end, such as...). Figure 4 As shown, the cable sleeve tape is cut by the 4D cutting module to form a single cable sleeve label; the control module 3C controls the printing module 5E to print the corresponding printing parameters at the preset printing position of the cable sleeve label according to the printing instructions.
[0043] Among them, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the battery module 1A (i.e., battery 5) is located below the supporting clamp 3; the mechanical transmission module 6F is located at the bottom of the matching printing equipment, and includes: a track 11, one end of which is located at the inlet 111 of the housing 101 of the matching printing equipment, and the other end is connected to the motor chamber wall 26 located inside the housing 101, so that the track 11 is placed horizontally for transmitting the cable sheath; the cable sheath enters from the inlet 111 and moves along the direction defined by the track 11; a first gear set is located on one side of the track 11, including: an inlet motor 6, on which a first gear 24 is connected; two second gears 20 meshing with each other, wherein the upper second gear 20 meshes with the first gear 24 (e.g., Figure 6As shown, the rotation of the feed motor 6 drives the rotation of the first gear 24, which in turn drives the rotation of the second gear 20; the two rollers 9 are respectively connected to the corresponding second gear 20, and the rotation of the second gear 20 drives the rotation of the rollers 9.
[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, a connecting shaft 32 is provided at the center of the two rollers 9, and an adjusting bolt 33 is provided on the connecting shaft 32 to adjust the gap between the two rollers 9. When the cable sleeve enters the printing equipment, the sheet label 200 is clamped between the two rollers 9. The feed motor 6 rotates, driving the first gear 24 and the second gear 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the rollers 9 to rotate, so that the sheet label 200 is conveyed through the rollers 9. The movement of the cable sleeve label in the printing equipment is as follows. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The left side shows the cable conduit tape, and the right side shows the label of a single cable conduit after 4D cutting by the cutting module.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the cutting module 4D includes scissors 12, which are positioned at one end of the track 11 near the motor chamber wall 26. When the top of the cable sheath is conveyed to the designated position (i.e., the top of the cable sheath contacts the motor chamber wall 26), a sensor located on the motor chamber wall 26 transmits a detection signal to the control module 3C and generates a control command. This control command is transmitted to the relay unit to control the scissors 12 to cut the cable sheath, forming a single cable sheath tag.
[0046] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the printing module 5E is positioned above the side where the track 11 connects to the motor chamber wall 26. It includes a print head 10, and a support platform 14 is provided below the print head 10 to support a single cable sleeve label. When the printing module 5E receives a printing command sent by the control module 3C, it extracts the printing content from the storage unit and controls the print head 10 to print the label content on the sheet label 200 in the single cable sleeve label.
[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, the mechanical transmission module 6F also includes a first transmission motor 8, which is disposed on the outside of the motor chamber wall 26; a lever device 23, which is disposed at the end of the track 11 connected to the motor chamber wall 26 and connected to the first transmission motor 8, for fixing a single cable sleeve label to the support platform 14 of the printing module 5E; a second transmission motor 31, connected to a drive wheel 15, which drives the drive wheel 15 to rotate; and a first roller group 22, connected via the lever device 23; specifically, the lever device 23 includes a horizontal connecting rod. The first roller assembly 22 includes a first tube roller 17 and a second tube roller 16 with their axes at the same horizontal height; a first connecting shaft 19 is provided between the first tube roller 17 and the second tube roller 16; a second connecting shaft 18 is provided on the side of the second tube roller 16 that is symmetrical to the first tube roller 17, and the axis of the second connecting shaft 18 is at the same height as the axis of the second tube roller 16; the horizontal connecting rod 35 connects the axes of the first tube roller 17, the second tube roller 16 and the second connecting shaft 18.
[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, the horizontal connecting rod 35 has a groove, within which an embedded roller 36 is installed, allowing the roller to rotate within the groove. The top of the vertical connecting rod 34 is connected to a rotating shaft 231, which is connected to the first transmission motor 8. The bottom of the vertical connecting rod 34 is connected to the embedded roller 36, enabling the vertical connecting rod 34 to move horizontally. Specifically, Figure 9 The dashed box a shows the positional changes of the rotating shaft 231 and the vertical connecting rod 34 when the first conveyor motor 8 is working. The rotation of the first conveyor motor 8 causes the rotating shaft 231, which is initially horizontal, to rotate 45° clockwise. The vertical connecting rod 34 then moves a certain distance to the upper right, pulling the first roller group 22 to a designated position. That is, the first tube roller 17 and the second tube roller 16 in the first roller group 22 press the sheet label 200 onto the print head 10 and the support platform 14, respectively. At the same time, the second connecting shaft 18 is engaged with the drive wheel 15, so that when the drive wheel 15 rotates, it drives the first roller group 22 to rotate, and the print head 10 prints the sheet label 200.
[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, the mechanical conveying module 6F further includes: a second roller group 30, which meshes with the drive wheel 15; the second roller group 30 includes a tape winding roller 29, a third connecting shaft 28, and a fourth connecting shaft 27 that mesh with each other, and the fourth connecting shaft 27 is connected to the drive wheel 15. In use, the drive wheel 15 rotates, driving the first roller group 22 and the second roller group 30 to rotate, causing the first tube roller 17, the second tube roller 16, and the tape winding roller 29 to rotate at the same linear speed. This prints the cable content onto a designated position on the sheet label 200 via the print head 10, and the printed cable label is conveyed out through the guide hole. At this time, the first conveying motor 8 rotates in the opposite direction, restoring the first roller group 22 to its original position, awaiting the next label entry. Wherein, as... Figure 8 As shown, between the printhead 10 and the sheet label 200 is a ribbon 7, which moves with the rotation of the ribbon roller 29 and is used to print the content of the cable label.
[0050] It should be noted that, in combination Figures 3-10 As shown, when using the matching printing equipment for the secondary cable sleeve label provided by the present invention, the user needs to first open the printing equipment, fix the hollow sleeve 100 of the cable sleeve in the track 11 with limiting and guiding properties, and pass the sheet label 200 of the cable sleeve through the roller 9 so that the two rollers 9 clamp the sheet label 200, and tighten the adjusting bolt 33 on the connecting shaft 32 between the central shafts of the two rollers.
[0051] according to Figure 10 and Figure 11 In the first mode, the user connects to the printing device via Bluetooth, enters the print content in a mobile app, and selects the print format. Additionally, the app can import Excel files of a specified format for batch printing. In the second mode, the user enters the print content using the keypad 2 and selects parameters such as character spacing, character size, character direction, spacing between characters and label edges, and line breaks, then confirms the print content on the backlit display screen 1. The user then transmits the print content to the control module 3C via the human-machine interface module 2B.
[0052] according to Figure 10 and Figure 11 After receiving the printing command, the control module 3C stores the printing content in the storage unit and generates the line feed command 01. The line feed command 01 is transmitted to the line feed motor 6 by the communication unit. The line feed motor 6 rotates, driving the second gear 20 and the first gear 24 to rotate. Since the first gear 24 is connected to the rotating shaft of the line feed motor 6, and the second gear 20 is connected to the corresponding roller 9, the roller 9 rotates, driving the cable sleeve and the sheet label 200 to move.
[0053] When the label 200 moves to the motor chamber wall 26, the sensor located on the motor chamber wall 26 sends a detection signal 02 to the control module 3C, and the control module 3C generates a control command 03. This control command 03 is sent to the relay unit of the control module 3C to control the scissors 12 to cut the cable sheath tape. In addition, the control command 03 will also be sent sequentially to the drive units of the first conveyor motor 8, the second conveyor motor 31, and the print head 10 after a delay, so that the cable sheath tape can enter the next printing stage after cutting.
[0054] In the printing process, after receiving control command 03, the first conveyor motor 8 starts to rotate. Through the rotating shaft connected by the vertical connecting rod 34, it pulls the first roller assembly 22 towards the print head 10 and the support platform 14. The rotation of the first conveyor motor 8 causes the initially horizontal rotating shaft 231 to rotate 45° clockwise, and the vertical connecting rod 34 to shift a certain distance to the upper right, pulling the first roller assembly 22 to the designated position. The first tube roller 17 and the second tube roller 16 in the first roller assembly 22 respectively press the sheet label 200 onto the print head 10 and the support platform 14. Further, control command 03 controls the second conveyor motor 31 to start, driving the drive wheel 15 connected to the motor shaft to rotate. This drive wheel 15 will drive the first roller assembly 22 and the second roller assembly 30 to rotate. The first tube roller 17 and the second tube roller 16 in the first roller assembly 22, and the ribbon winding roller 29 in the second roller assembly 30 will rotate at the same linear speed, moving the sheet label 200 forward.
[0055] When control command 03 controls the first conveyor motor 8 and the second conveyor motor 31 to convey the label, control command 03 is also simultaneously sent to the drive unit of print head 10. Control module 3C will retrieve the printing content from the storage unit and drive print head 10 to print the content at the specified position on the sheet label 200 according to the printing command. After printing is completed, the first roller group 22 outputs the cut and printed standard-sized single cable sleeve labels from the label outlet 112 on the side of the housing 101.
[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the label outlet 112 is designed as a square guide rail with a flared limiting baffle (not shown in the figure). The part connecting the sheet label 200 and the hollow sleeve 100 passes through the narrow flared opening. This design can effectively control the vertical movement of the hollow sleeve 100, ensuring that the first tube roller 17 and the second tube roller 16 can horizontally and reliably fix the sheet label during printing, and print stably. In addition, it can ensure that the movement and printing process can remain stable when printing sleeves of different specifications.
[0057] In summary, fault alarms caused by loose cables constitute the majority of fault troubleshooting challenges faced by power industry personnel, accounting for approximately 50%. The large number and dense arrangement of secondary cables, coupled with the limited space in substations, make it difficult and time-consuming for workers to check wire numbers using traditional conduits. The secondary cable conduit label provided by this invention will significantly reduce the time power industry workers spend checking wire numbers on-site. In existing technologies, it takes approximately 5-7 minutes for workers to rotate and check the wire number of a secondary wiring conduit that has bent due to wiring bends, and approximately 3-5 minutes to check the wire number of a normal, unbent secondary wiring conduit (affected by the tightness of the secondary wiring spacing and the tightness of the conduit-wire spacing). However, checking a secondary cable conduit label only requires finding the label and pulling it up from the secondary wire gap, taking approximately 1 minute. This improves overall work efficiency by approximately 66-80%.
[0058] Secondly, this invention effectively reduces the risk of faults caused by loose secondary wiring during cable inspection. Traditional cable inspection methods require manipulating the sleeves on secondary cables, inevitably involving forceful manipulation, rotation, and pulling of the cable and adjacent cables. This easily leads to cable loosening, which maintenance personnel may not be able to detect in time, resulting in potential hazards. This invention provides a more convenient cable inspection method, reducing cable loosening at its source. This will also reduce the workload of frontline power workers and has broad application prospects.
[0059] Although the present invention has been described in detail through the preferred embodiments above, it should be understood that the above description should not be considered as a limitation of the present invention. Various modifications and substitutions to the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art after reading the above description. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the appended claims.
