Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of optical cable electronic labels, and in particular to an electronic label pasting device and an optical cable electronic label pasting method. Background Art

[0002] As the demand for optical networks continues to increase, the management of optical cable resources faces more and more challenges. Therefore, it is necessary to improve management efficiency by sticking labels on the surface of optical cables. Among them, optical cables mainly include overhead optical cables and underground optical cables. The height of overhead optical cables is about 5.5 meters to 6.5 meters, and the depth of underground optical cables is about 2 meters.

[0003] At present, optical cable electronic labels are often pasted on optical cables manually, which has low pasting efficiency and the construction workers' skills have a great impact on the pasting quality. For the pasting of overhead optical cables and underground optical cables, it is necessary to use climbing tools or go down the well for close-range pasting, which has low installation efficiency and high safety risks. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present disclosure is proposed in view of the above problems. The present disclosure provides an electronic label sticking device and an optical cable electronic label sticking method.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an electronic label pasting device, comprising: a mechanical gripper and a label wheel mechanism; the mechanical gripper comprises a control handle and a mechanical hand arranged on the control handle, the control handle is electrically connected to the mechanical hand, and is used to send a control signal to the mechanical hand to tighten in a direction close to an object to be pasted or to expand in a direction away from the object to be pasted; the label wheel mechanism is embedded in a part of the control handle close to the mechanical hand, the label wheel mechanism comprises an electronic label base tape, the electronic label base tape is coiled on the mechanical hand, and is used to paste the electronic label on the object to be pasted when the mechanical hand is in contact with the object to be pasted and tightened in a direction close to the object to be pasted.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the electronic label pasting device in the present application includes a mechanical gripper, a label wheel mechanism and a telescopic mechanism. The mechanical gripper includes a control handle and a manipulator disposed on the control handle, wherein the control handle is electrically connected to the manipulator and is used to send a control signal to the manipulator to tighten in a direction close to the object to be pasted or to expand in a direction away from the object to be pasted. The label wheel mechanism in the present application is embedded in a portion of the control handle close to the manipulator, and the label wheel mechanism includes an electronic label baseband, which is wound on the manipulator and is used to paste the electronic label on the object to be pasted when the manipulator is in contact with the object to be pasted and tightened in a direction close to the object to be pasted. Based on this, when an electronic label is to be pasted on the surface of an object to be pasted, the control handle can control the manipulator to fit with the object to be pasted, and tighten in the direction close to the object to be pasted, so that the electronic label baseband wound on the manipulator can fit tightly with the object to be pasted, and then, under the control of the control handle, the manipulator unfolds in the direction away from the object to be pasted, at which time, the electronic label that is tightly fitted with the object to be pasted is detached from the electronic label baseband, and the pasting is completed. It can be seen that during the operation of the electronic label pasting device provided by the present application, the pasting operation of the electronic label can be completed by only relying on the cooperation between the mechanical parts, which improves the construction efficiency, reduces the errors generated during the manual pasting operation, and improves the consistency and quality of the label pasting.

[0008] Step 1, fix the optical cable using the protrusion, and control the manipulator to fit on the optical cable;

[0009] Step 2: Control the multiple transmission parts connected to the electronic label baseband to be in a stopped state, and control the left hand of the manipulator to tighten in the direction close to the optical cable to stick the electronic label on the left side of the optical cable, then control the multiple transmission parts to loosen the electronic label baseband, and expand the left hand of the manipulator in the direction away from the optical cable.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the optical cable electronic label sticking method in the present application are the same as the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned electronic label sticking device, which will not be described in detail here.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious, the exemplary embodiments according to the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described here.

[0025] In view of the problems in the prior art of manually sticking optical cable electronic labels on optical cables, the sticking efficiency is low and the quality cannot be guaranteed, and the installation efficiency is low and the safety hazards are high when the electronic labels are stuck on overhead optical cables and underground optical cables. This application provides an electronic label sticking device that can ensure construction quality, improve construction efficiency and reduce safety hazards in a variety of installation environments. Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic label sticking device according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the electronic label pasting device includes a mechanical gripper 1, a label wheel mechanism 2 and a telescopic mechanism 3; the mechanical gripper 1 includes a control handle 101 and a mechanical hand 102 arranged on the control handle 101, the control handle 101 is electrically connected to the mechanical hand 102, and is used to send a control signal to the mechanical hand 102 to tighten in a direction close to the object to be pasted or to expand in a direction away from the object to be pasted; the label wheel mechanism 2 is embedded in a part of the control handle 101 close to the mechanical hand 102, and the label wheel mechanism 2 includes an electronic label baseband 201, and the electronic label baseband 201 is coiled On the manipulator 102, it is used to stick the electronic label on the object to be stuck when the manipulator 102 is in contact with the object to be stuck and tightened in the direction close to the object to be stuck; the telescopic mechanism 3 is arranged at the position where the control handle 101 is away from the label wheel mechanism 2, and the telescopic mechanism 3 is electrically connected to the manipulator 102 through the control handle 101. It is used to control the control handle 101 when the distance between the control handle 101 and the object to be stuck is greater than a preset distance, so that it sends a control signal to the manipulator 102 to tighten in the direction close to the object to be stuck or a control signal to expand in the direction away from the object to be stuck.

[0026] In specific implementation, when the distance between the control handle 101 and the object to be pasted is less than or equal to the preset distance, when the electronic label is pasted on the surface of the object to be pasted, the control handle 101 can control the manipulator 102 to fit the object to be pasted and tighten in the direction close to the object to be pasted, so that the electronic label base band 201 wound on the manipulator 102 can fit tightly with the object to be pasted. Then, under the control of the control handle 101, the manipulator 102 unfolds in the direction away from the object to be pasted. At this time, the electronic label that is tightly attached to the object to be pasted is detached from the electronic label base band 201, and the pasting is completed.

[0027] In an alternative approach, Figure 1 As shown, the electronic label pasting device in the present application also includes a telescopic mechanism 3, which is arranged at the position of the control handle 101 away from the label wheel mechanism 2. The telescopic mechanism 3 is electrically connected to the control handle 101, and is used to shorten the distance between the manipulator 102 and the object to be pasted, and to control the control handle 101 so that it sends a control signal to the manipulator 102 to tighten in the direction of approaching the object to be pasted or a control signal to expand in the direction away from the object to be pasted.

[0028] During specific implementation, when the distance between the control handle 101 and the object to be pasted is greater than the preset distance, the distance between the mechanical gripper 1 and the object to be pasted can be shortened by extending the length of the telescopic mechanism 3. Then, the telescopic mechanism 3 can control the control handle 101 so that it sends a control signal to the mechanical arm 102, so that the mechanical arm 102 is fitted with the object to be pasted and tightened in the direction close to the object to be pasted, so as to closely fit the electronic label base band 201 with the object to be pasted. Then, the telescopic mechanism 3 controls the control handle 101 so that it sends a control signal to the mechanical arm 102 to expand in the direction away from the object to be pasted, so that the electronic label that is closely fitted with the object to be pasted is detached from the electronic label base band 201, and the pasting is completed.

[0029] It can be seen that the electronic label pasting device provided in the present application can adapt to various installation environments through the cooperation of the mechanical gripper 1, the label wheel mechanism 2 and the telescopic mechanism 3, and can accurately and stably paste the electronic label on the object to be pasted at a relatively safe distance. There is no need to use climbing tools or go down the well for close-range pasting, and it can improve construction efficiency and reduce safety hazards.

[0030] It should be understood that the object to be pasted in the present application can be a cylinder, a cone, or a rectangle, and can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and is not limited here.

[0031] In an alternative approach, Figure 1As shown, the number of manipulators 102 in the present application is not less than 2, and the lengths of each manipulator 102 are not equal, which can simulate the "left hand" or "right hand" of a human hand, overlap the electronic labels during the pasting process, and enhance the installation stability of the electronic labels.

[0032] For example, in the process of pasting the electronic label on the surface of the object to be pasted, the control handle 101 can control the manipulator 102 to fit with the object to be pasted, and make the left hand of the manipulator 102 tighten in the direction close to the object to be pasted, after the electronic label baseband 201 is tightly fitted with the left side of the object to be pasted, then, under the control of the control handle 101, the left hand of the manipulator 102 is unfolded in the direction away from the object to be pasted, at this time, the electronic label tightly fitted with the object to be pasted is detached from the electronic label baseband 201, and the left side of the object to be pasted is pasted. Similarly, the present application uses the right hand of the manipulator 102 to paste the right side of the object to be pasted. Since the length of the left hand of the manipulator 102 is not equal to the right hand of the manipulator 102, when the labeling operation is performed on the right side of the object to be pasted, the pasted part of the left side of the object to be pasted can be repeatedly pasted, so that the firmness of the pasting of the electronic label can be enhanced, and the probability of the electronic label falling off from the surface of the object to be pasted due to loose pasting is reduced.

[0033] It should be understood that when the object to be pasted is an optical cable, the mechanical gripper provided in this application can be used for pasting on an optical cable with 6 to 288 cores, wherein the radial dimension range of an optical cable with 96 to 288 cores is: 13.6mm to 20mm; the radial dimension range of an optical cable with 48 to 96 cores is: 10.4mm to 13.6mm; the radial dimension range of an optical cable with 6 to 48 cores is: 9.2mm to 10.4mm. The length of the manipulator in this application is positively correlated with the radial dimension of the object to be pasted, and the length of the manipulator can be adjusted according to the radial dimension of the object to be pasted (e.g., optical cable) in actual situations, and is not limited here.

[0034] For example, Figure 1 As shown, two adjacent knuckles of the manipulator 102 in the present application are hinged to form a bamboo structure, which is used to improve the wrapping of the electronic tag on the surface of the object to be pasted. In other words, the hinged connection method can make the two adjacent knuckles rotate relative to each other, so that the manipulator 102 can achieve a higher bending angle. Therefore, when the manipulator 102 is tightened in the direction close to the object to be pasted, it has a higher bending angle, which is conducive to making the electronic tag baseband 201 wound on the manipulator 102 better fit with the object to be pasted, thereby improving the consistency and quality of label pasting. The hinge method in the present application can be a pin connection or other connection methods, as long as the relative rotation between each knuckle can be achieved.

[0035] It should be understood that the size of the knuckles of the manipulator in the present application is positively correlated with the radial size of the object to be pasted, and the length of the manipulator can be adjusted according to the radial size of the object to be pasted in actual conditions, which is not limited here.

[0036] In an alternative approach, Figure 1 As shown, the control handle 101 in the present application is provided with a control unit 1011, and the control unit 1011 is electrically connected to the manipulator 102. The control unit 1011 includes a controller 10111, a first power module 10112, and a first start module 10113, and the first power module 10112 and the first start module 10113 are electrically connected to the controller 10111, and the controller 10111 is electrically connected to the manipulator 102.

[0037] In actual application, if the first power module 10112 is in the on state and the first start module 10113 is in the off state, the controller 10111 electrically connected thereto will control the manipulator 102 to expand in a direction away from the object to be pasted. If the first start module 10113 is in the on state, the controller 10111 electrically connected thereto will control the manipulator 102 to tighten in a direction close to the object to be pasted.

[0038] For example, the control handle 101 in the present application is also provided with a first charging port 1012. When the control handle 101 is out of power, the control handle 101 can be provided with power through the first charging port 1012. It should be understood that the model of the first charging port 1012 in the present application can be adjusted according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0039] In an alternative approach, Figure 1 As shown, the control handle 101 in the present application is provided with a protrusion 1014 at the end near the manipulator 102, and the curvature of the protrusion 1014 matches the object to be pasted, and is used to fix the object to be pasted, so that when the electronic label is pasted on the object to be pasted, the stability of the pasting operation can be ensured by pressing the protrusion 1014 of the control handle 101 against the object to be pasted.

[0040] In an alternative approach, Figure 1As shown, the control handle 101 in the present application is provided with an opening 1015 and a cover body detachably connected to the opening 1015 at the position close to the manipulator 102. The label wheel mechanism 2 in the present application also includes a transmission assembly 202, which is embedded in the opening 1015. The initial end of the electronic label baseband 201 is coiled along the finger direction of the manipulator 102 and connected to the transmission assembly 202, and is used to drive the transmission assembly 202 to rotate when the electronic label baseband 201 moves. Therefore, after the electronic label pasting device is used to perform a labeling operation, as the state of the fingers of the manipulator 102 changes (for example, the fingers of the manipulator are spread toward the direction close to the object to be pasted), the electronic label baseband 201 will also move, thereby driving the transmission assembly 202 to rotate, so as to transfer the electronic label baseband 201 to be pasted to a preset position. If the electronic label in the electronic label baseband 201 is consumed, the electronic label baseband 201 can be replaced by opening the cover body, which is more convenient and quick, and improves the upgrade and replacement capability of the device. It should be understood that in order to Figure 1 In order to more clearly show the connection relationship between the various components, the present application omits the cover in the control handle 101. In actual applications, the cover can be a transparent cover or other types of covers, as long as it can be detachably arranged on the opening 1015, and no limitation is made here.

[0041] In practical applications, such as Figure 1 As shown, the transmission assembly 202 in the present application includes a tape-out wheel 2021 and a tape-receiving wheel 2022 meshed with the tape-out wheel 2021, the electronic tag base tape 201 is connected to the tape-out wheel 2021, and the used electronic tag base tape 201 is connected to the tape-receiving wheel 2022, wherein the initial end of the electronic tag base tape 201 extends from one side of the tape-out wheel 2021 and is wound on the manipulator 102; the tail end of the used electronic tag base tape 201 is recovered along the manipulator 102 to the other side of the tape-receiving wheel 2022. In addition, a guide member 1016 is provided at a portion of the opening 1015 close to the manipulator 102, and the number of the guide members 1016 is multiple, and is used to guide the extension direction of the electronic tag base tape 201 and the recovery direction of the used electronic tag base tape 201. It should be understood that the extension direction of the electronic tag base tape 201 in the present application is opposite to the recovery direction of the used electronic tag base tape 201. Correspondingly, the initial end of the electronic tag base tape 201 is located at the position of the outgoing pulley 2021, which is opposite to the position of the tail end of the used electronic tag base tape 201 at the take-up pulley 2022. The specific position can be adjusted according to actual conditions and is not limited here. In addition, two columns 1017 are also provided in the opening 1015 of the control handle 101 in the present application. The outgoing pulley 2021 and the take-up pulley 2022 have mounting through holes that match the corresponding columns 1017, which are used to embed the transmission assembly 202 into the opening 1015.

[0042] For example, the electronic tag base tape 201 is connected to the outgoing reel 2021, and the used electronic tag base tape 201 is connected to the take-up reel 2022. The initial end of the electronic tag base tape 201 extends from the left side of the outgoing reel 2021, and is wound around the corresponding part of the manipulator 102 under the guidance of the corresponding guide 1016. The tail end of the used electronic tag base tape 201 extends from the corresponding part of the manipulator 102, and is recovered to the right side of the take-up reel 2022 under the guidance of the corresponding guide 1016.

[0043] For another example, the electronic tag base tape 201 is connected to the outgoing reel 2021, and the used electronic tag base tape 201 is connected to the take-up reel 2022. The initial end of the electronic tag base tape 201 extends from the right side of the outgoing reel 2021, and is wound around the corresponding part of the manipulator 102 under the guidance of the corresponding guide 1016. The tail end of the used electronic tag base tape 201 extends from the corresponding part of the manipulator 102, and is recovered to the left side of the take-up reel 2022 under the guidance of the corresponding guide 1016.

[0044] Based on this, when the motion state of the manipulator 102 changes, the electronic tag base tape 201 wound on the manipulator 102 will also move accordingly, thereby driving the transmission component 202 to rotate. For example: on the basis of the electronic tag base tape 201 remaining stationary on the manipulator 102, when the manipulator 102 is controlled to unfold in a direction away from the object to be attached, the electronic tag base tape 201 will also move accordingly, driving the outgoing pulley 2021 to rotate along a first rotation direction, and the take-up pulley 2022 meshed with it rotates in a second rotation direction opposite to the rotation direction. At this time, the electronic tag base tape 201 is in a tightened state on the manipulator 102.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the control handle 101 in the present application is also provided with a first signal transmission unit 1013, and the first signal transmission unit 1013 is electrically connected to the control unit 1011. The telescopic mechanism 3 in the present application is provided with a second signal transmission unit 301, and the second signal transmission unit 301 is electrically connected to the manipulator 102 through the first signal transmission unit 1013 and the control unit 1011 in turn.

[0046] It can be understood that the telescopic mechanism is a telescopic rod, which can include a plurality of flat tubes, wherein the upper flat tube of each two adjacent flat tubes can be retracted into the middle hole of the lower flat tube, and a limiting structure is provided on the tube wall of the lower flat tube of each two adjacent flat tubes, which is used to limit the upper flat tube to prevent the upper flat tube from detaching after extending from the lower flat tube.

[0047] In specific implementation, when the distance between the manipulator 102 and the object to be pasted is greater than the preset distance, the length of the telescopic mechanism 3 is extended by extending the flat tube located above to shorten the distance between the manipulator 1 and the object to be pasted, and then the telescopic mechanism 3 uses the second signal transmission unit 301 to transmit signals with the first signal transmission unit 1013, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the manipulator 102 by transmitting instructions to the control unit 1011. It should be understood that the first signal transmission unit 1013 and the second signal transmission unit 301 in the present application can be Bluetooth or other components that can achieve the signal transmission function, which can be adjusted according to actual conditions and are not limited here.

[0048] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the end of the manipulator 102 in the present application away from the control handle 101 is provided with a plurality of transmission members 1018, the transmission member 1018 and the label wheel mechanism 2 are located in the same plane, and the electronic label baseband 201 of the label wheel mechanism 2 is wound on the manipulator 102 through the plurality of transmission members 1018; when the transmission member 1018 rotates along a first direction, the electronic label baseband 201 is in a tightened state on the surface of the transmission member 1018, and when the transmission member 1018 rotates along a second direction, the electronic label baseband 201 is in a loosened state on the surface of the transmission member 1018. The transmission member 1018 is electrically connected to the control handle 101. The transmission member 1018 can be a pulley or a roller, and can be adjusted according to actual conditions, which is not limited here.

[0049] It is understandable that the first direction and the second direction are opposite in rotation direction. When the first direction is clockwise, the second direction is counterclockwise; when the first direction is counterclockwise, the second direction is clockwise. It can be adjusted according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0050] In an alternative approach, Figure 1 As shown, the telescopic mechanism 3 in the present application also includes a second power supply module 302 and a second starting module 303, and the second power supply module 302 and the second starting module 303 are electrically connected to the second signal transmission unit 301. Therefore, when the states of the second power supply module 302 and the second starting module 303 change, the above modules can transmit signals to the second signal transmission unit 301, and the signal is transmitted to the first signal transmission unit 1013 through the second signal transmission unit 301, so that the manipulator 102 can be controlled by the control unit 1011.

[0051] Specifically, if the second power module 302 is in the on state and the second start-up module 303 is in the off state, the second signal transmission unit 301 electrically connected thereto will transmit the signal to the first signal transmission unit 1013, and then, after the control unit 1011 receives the signal, it can control the manipulator 102 to expand in a direction away from the object to be pasted. If the second start-up module 303 is in the on state, the second signal transmission unit 301 electrically connected thereto will transmit the signal to the first signal transmission unit 1013, and then, after the control unit 1011 receives the signal, it can control the manipulator 102 to tighten in a direction close to the object to be pasted.

[0052] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the telescopic mechanism 3 in the present application is also provided with a second charging port 304. When the telescopic mechanism 3 is out of power, the second charging port 304 can provide power to the telescopic mechanism 3. It should be understood that the model of the second charging port 304 in the present application can be adjusted according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0053] The present invention also provides a method for sticking optical cable electronic labels, so as to improve sticking efficiency, reduce human errors, and improve the consistency and quality of label sticking. Figure 2 It is a flow chart illustrating a method for attaching an electronic label to an optical cable according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 Detailed description of the invention is another flowchart of the method for attaching an electronic label to an optical cable according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 4 to 9 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the method for attaching an electronic label to an optical cable according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2-Figure 3 as well as Figures 4 to 9 As shown, the optical cable electronic label pasting method includes:

[0054] Step 1: Use the protrusion to fix the optical cable and control the robot to fit on the optical cable.

[0055] Exemplarily, the first power module 10112 of the control handle 101 or the second power module 302 of the telescopic mechanism 3 is clicked to spread the left and right hands of the manipulator 102 away from the optical cable 4 until both hands are flat, and the protrusion of the control handle 101 is pressed against the optical cable 4. Next, the first start module 10113 of the control handle 101 or the second start module 303 of the telescopic mechanism 3 is clicked to control the manipulator 102 to tighten in the direction close to the optical cable 4, so that the manipulator 102 and the optical cable 4 remain bonded.

[0056] Step 2: Control multiple transmission parts connected to the electronic label baseband to be in a stopped state, and control the left hand of the manipulator to tighten in the direction close to the optical cable to stick the electronic label on the left side of the optical cable, then control multiple transmission parts to loosen the electronic label baseband, and expand the left hand of the manipulator in the direction away from the optical cable.

[0057] For example, the present application can provide a booster electrically connected to the control handle 101 on the manipulator 102 to more accurately control the force of the left hand of the manipulator 102 tightening in the direction of approaching the optical cable 4, thereby avoiding the possibility of damage to the electronic label and the optical cable 4 due to excessive gripping force of the manipulator 102, and ensuring the quality and consistency of labeling. It is understandable that the figure is only a schematic diagram, and the manipulator is actually in a state of close contact with the optical cable.

[0058] In an optional manner, the optical cable electronic label affixing method in the embodiment of the present application also includes: step three, controlling the right hand of the manipulator to tighten in the direction close to the optical cable to affix the electronic label to the right side of the optical cable, and overlapping and covering the portion of the electronic label that has been affixed to the left side of the optical cable.

[0059] For example, the present application can more accurately control the force of the right hand of the manipulator 102 tightening in the direction close to the optical cable 4 through the booster, thereby avoiding the possibility of damage to the electronic label and the optical cable 4 due to excessive grip of the manipulator 102, and ensuring the quality and consistency of labeling. It can be understood that this figure is only a schematic diagram, and the manipulator is actually in a state of close contact with the optical cable.

[0060] Step 4: Control multiple transmission parts to be in a stopped state, expand the right hand of the robot arm away from the optical cable, move the electronic label baseband in the direction away from the control handle, drive the transmission assembly to rotate, and transfer the electronic label to be pasted to the preset position, and then control the robot gripper to separate from the optical cable.

[0061] Exemplarily, the electronic tag used in this application is equipped with a radio frequency identification card (RFID) inside, and its principle is to perform non-contact two-way data communication through wireless radio frequency, and use wireless radio frequency to read and write the recording medium (for example: electronic tag or radio frequency card), so as to achieve the purpose of identifying the target and exchanging data. The number of RFID cards can be one, two or three, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation and is not limited here. Among them, the electronic tag can distinguish the optical cable level by color for easy management, for example: a main optical cable: red; a provincial main optical cable: yellow; an important dedicated optical cable: orange; a general dedicated optical cable: blue. Therefore, when labeling the target optical cable, the corresponding label can be affixed according to the type of optical cable, which improves the identifiability of the label and facilitates management and maintenance. In addition, the electronic tag in this application can also be customized with a logo to significantly increase the identifiability, which can be selected according to the actual situation and is not limited here.
