Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of conductive slip ring processing technology, specifically a marking device for conductive slip rings. Background Technology

[0002] Conductive slip rings are rotary joint devices used to transmit electricity or signals, and are widely used in rotating machinery. To improve the identifiability and traceability of conductive slip rings, and to reduce manual intervention in production, conductive slip ring marking devices have been developed as a modern production technology. The marking of conductive slip rings is usually done manually. Operators need to wind up, tie, and label the cables, which has the following problems: reliance on manual operation leads to low production efficiency and is prone to errors. The accuracy and consistency of marking are difficult to guarantee, hindering quality control. It increases the intensity of manual labor, potentially leading to operator fatigue and errors. It is difficult to adapt to large-scale production, resulting in high labor costs. To address the shortcomings of manual operation, some manufacturers have introduced automated marking equipment, such as automatic cable ties and labeling machines. These devices can improve production efficiency, but still have some limitations: some devices can only perform a single operation, requiring multiple devices to work together, occupying more production line space. Some devices have limited flexibility in marking and are not suitable for conductive slip rings of different specifications. Labeling machines are typically used for external labeling but cannot handle the internal cable tying.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a marking device for conductive slip rings to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a marking device for a conductive slip ring, comprising a base, a conveyor belt on the base, a support spanning the conveyor belt, winding assemblies symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support, a labeling assembly in front of each winding assembly, a cable tie roll on each side of the support capable of feeding the labeling assembly, a sticker roll on one side of the conveyor belt, and a labeling roller below the sticker roll.

[0005] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the winding assembly includes a guide rail, which is inverted and fixed in a bracket. A slider is slidably provided in the guide rail, and a turntable is provided in the slider. Multiple horizontal winding shafts are circumferentially fixed in the turntable.

[0006] Furthermore, preferably, each of the take-up shafts is slidably inserted into a pusher plate, which is concentric with the turntable.

[0007] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a wedge is fixed to the center of the guide rail near the turntable, and the wedge can be inserted into the gap between the turntable and the push plate.

[0008] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a spring is provided between the turntable and the push plate, the spring providing an elastic force to bring the turntable and the push plate closer together.

[0009] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the pusher has a notch in the gap of the take-up shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, preferably, the slider is threadedly connected to a screw, which can be driven to rotate by a servo motor, and the screws in the two winding assemblies are fixed together and rotate in opposite directions.

[0011] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a rack parallel to the guide rail is fixed in the bracket under the guide rail, and a gear is fixed on the back of the turntable, the gear meshing with the rack.

[0012] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the tie-up assembly includes a connecting plate with a rotating hook at its lower end. The rotating hook has a hot-melt cutting blade at its end, and a telescopic cylinder is hinged between the rotating hook and the connecting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the connecting plate above the rotating hook is provided with a pair of rotatable guide rollers.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] In this invention, when the assembled conductive slip ring is conveyed from the conveyor belt to the support below, the winding components on both sides can wind up the cables at both ends of the conductive slip ring, and the labeling component can tie a strip label to the cables at both ends to identify the cable specifications, inlet and outlet information, etc.; when the conductive slip ring passes under the labeling roller, the sticker in the sticker roll can be rolled onto the side wall of the conductive slip ring shell to identify the conductive slip ring model, trademark, and other information.

[0016] In this invention, when the slider slides to the wedge position, the wedge is inserted into the gap between the turntable and the push plate, causing the wedge to push the push plate away from the turntable. In other words, when the slider slides close to the center of the guide rail, the cable can automatically fall off the take-up shaft.

[0017] In this invention, a telescopic cylinder drives a rotating hook to rotate, allowing the hook to hook the strip label into the notch of the pusher plate to bundle the cable. Furthermore, when the thermoplastic cutting disc adheres to the base of the rotating hook, it adheres to the strip label above and performs a thermoplastic cut. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment of the invention, a marking device for a conductive slip ring includes a base 1, a conveyor belt 2 mounted on the base 1, a support 3 spanning the conveyor belt 2, and symmetrically arranged winding components 4 on both sides of the support 3. Each winding component 4 has a labeling component 5 in front of it. Each side of the support 3 has a cable tie roll 6 capable of feeding the labeling component 5. A sticker roll 7 is also provided on one side of the conveyor belt 2, and a labeling roller 8 is located below the sticker roll 7. When the assembled conductive slip ring is conveyed from the conveyor belt 2 to the support 3, the winding components 4 on both sides can wind up the cables at both ends of the conductive slip ring, and the labeling components 5 bind a strip-shaped label to the cables at both ends to identify the cable specifications, inlet and outlet information, etc. When the conductive slip ring passes under the labeling roller 8, the sticker in the sticker roll 7 can be rolled onto the side wall of the conductive slip ring shell to identify the model, trademark, and other information of the conductive slip ring.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the winding assembly 4 includes a guide rail 41, which is inverted and fixed in the bracket 3. A slider 42 is slidably provided in the guide rail 41, and a turntable 43 is provided in the slider 42. Multiple horizontal winding shafts 44 are fixed in a circular arrangement in the turntable 43. By sliding the slider 42 to allow the cable of the conductive slip ring to pass through the winding shaft 44, rotating the turntable 43 and moving the slider 42 towards the center allows the cable to be wound around the outside of the winding shaft 44.

[0025] In this embodiment, each of the take-up spools 44 is slidably inserted into a pusher plate 45, which is concentric with the turntable 43. By pushing the pusher plate 45, the cable wound around the take-up spool 44 can be dislodged.

[0026] In this embodiment, a wedge 47 is fixed to the center of the guide rail 41 near the turntable 43. The wedge 47 can be inserted into the gap between the turntable 43 and the push plate 45. When the slider 42 slides to the position of the wedge 47, the wedge 47 is inserted into the gap between the turntable 43 and the push plate 45, causing the wedge 47 to push the push plate 45 away from the turntable 43. That is, when the slider 42 slides to a position close to the center of the guide rail 41, the cable can automatically fall off the take-up shaft 44.

[0027] In this embodiment, a spring 46 is provided between the turntable 43 and the push plate 45. The spring 46 provides an elastic force that brings the turntable 43 and the push plate 45 closer together. That is, when the wedge moves away from the push plate 45, the push plate 45 will move closer to the turntable 43 under the action of the spring 46, so that the take-up shaft 44 is exposed again.

[0028] In this embodiment, the pusher plate 45 has a notch 48 in the gap of the take-up shaft 44. When the cable is wound around the take-up shaft 44, the tying assembly 5 can use a bundling tape label to attach the cable through the notch 48.

[0029] In this embodiment, a screw 411 is threadedly connected to the center of the slider 42. The screw 411 can be driven to rotate by a servo motor. The screws 411 in the two winding assemblies 4 are fixed together and rotate in opposite directions. That is, by driving the screw 411 to rotate by the servo motor, the two sliders 42 can be driven to slide synchronously in opposite directions, so that the cables at both ends of the conductive slip ring are wound up synchronously.

[0030] In this embodiment, a rack 410 parallel to the guide rail 41 is fixed in the bracket 3 under the guide rail 41, and a gear 49 is fixed on the back of the turntable 43, the gear 49 meshing with the rack 410. That is, when the slider 42 slides, it will drive the turntable 43 to rotate.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the tag-tying assembly 5 includes a connecting plate 51 with a rotating hook 53 at its lower end. A thermoplastic cutting blade 54 is located at the end of the rotating hook 53. A telescopic cylinder 55 is hinged between the rotating hook 53 and the connecting plate 51. The telescopic cylinder 55 drives the rotating hook 53 to rotate, allowing it to hook the strip tag into the notch 48 of the push plate 45 to bundle the cable. When the thermoplastic cutting blade 54 is attached to the root of the rotating hook 53, it adheres to the strip tag above and is thermoplastic cut.

[0032] In this embodiment, a pair of rotatable guide rollers 52 are provided in the connecting plate 51 above the rotating hook 53. The strip label in the cable tie roll 6 passes through the guide rollers 52 and is attached to the rotating hook 53. By rotating the guide rollers 52, the strip label can be pushed forward and attached to the rotating hook 53.

[0033] During implementation, ensure that the conductive slip ring marking device is correctly installed on the workbench and connected to the power supply. Check and confirm that the required consumables, such as cable ties reels, sticker reels, and strip labels, are prepared and correctly installed on the device.

[0034] The conductive slip ring to be marked is placed on the conveyor belt 2, ensuring that the conductive slip ring is in the center of the conveyor belt to ensure the accuracy of marking. When the cable winding conductive slip ring is conveyed to the support 3 via the conveyor belt 2, the screw 411 is driven to rotate by the servo motor. The two sliders 42 slide the cable towards each other, so that the cable of the conductive slip ring passes through the winding shaft 44. As the sliders 42 slide towards the center, the turntable 43 also rotates synchronously, winding the cable around the winding shaft 44.

[0035] When the slider 42 slides to the position of the tag assembly 5, the rotating hook 53, controlled by the telescopic cylinder 55, will hook the strip tag into the notch 48 of the push plate 45. The strip tag and the cable enter the notch 48 together, and the rotating hook 53 will bundle the strip tag and the cable together. The hot melt cutting disc 54 will adhere to the strip tag and cut it with hot melt, ensuring that the strip tag is fixed to the cable.

[0036] When slider 42 slides to the center of guide rail 41, the cable will automatically fall off the take-up shaft 44 under the push of push plate 45. The conductive slip ring continues to be conveyed to the bottom of sticker roll 7. The sticker in the sticker roll will be rolled onto the side wall of the conductive slip ring housing. The sticker contains information such as the model and trademark of the conductive slip ring to ensure the accuracy of the marking.

[0037] The conductive slip ring continues to be conveyed, completing the cable winding, labeling, and sticker application. The labeled conductive slip ring can then be removed from the conveyor belt for further packaging or use.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
