[0027] Example:
[0028] See also Figure 1-8 , an automatic marking device for stainless steel pipe fittings, including a coding support component and a cleaning component.
[0029] The inkjet coding support assembly includes a bracket 1, a protective box 2 and an inkjet printer 10. The protective box 2 is installed on the bracket 1. The protective box 2 is provided with clearance holes corresponding to the pipes to be coded. The inkjet printer 10 is installed on the protective box 2.
[0030] The cleaning component includes a rotary drive unit 3, a transmission shaft 4, a wiping brush 5, a sensor 11 and a sensor 2 12. The rotary drive unit 3 is installed on the protective box 2. The output shaft of the rotary drive unit 3 is connected to the transmission shaft 4. The wiping brush 5 is installed on the transmission shaft 4. The sensor 11 and the sensor 2 12 are both installed on the bracket 1. The sensor 11 and the sensor 2 12 are both electrically connected to the rotary drive unit 3. The inkjet printer 10 is preferably a laser inkjet printer 10. The sensor 11 and the sensor 2 12 are preferably one of a photoelectric sensor and a proximity sensor. The sensor 11 is installed on one side of the pipe feed. The wiping brush 5 is located between the sensor 11 and the sensor 2 12. The sensor 11 and the sensor 2 12 are both electrically connected to the controller that controls the rotary drive unit 3. The controller can be selected as a PLC. The rotary drive unit 3 is a motor, preferably an electric motor. The wiping brush 5 is a brush or rubber material, which is used to protect the transmission part of the pipe through the protection box 2. When the pipe to be coded moves to the position of the trigger sensor 11, the sensor 11 sends a signal to control the rotation drive unit 3 to start, and the rotation drive unit 3 drives the transmission shaft 4 and the wiping brush 5 to rotate. The wiping brush 5 cleans the outer wall of the pipe and removes some debris on the pipe. When the pipe moves to the trigger sensor 2 12, the sensor 2 12 sends a signal to control the rotation drive unit 3 to stop rotating, and then the pipe moves to the inkjet printer 10 for coding. The pipe is automatically cleaned by the cleaning component, and the debris on the outer wall of the pipe is effectively cleaned. The cleaning part of the pipe is conveniently controlled to automatically clean by the detection method of the sensor 11 and the sensor 2 12, thereby improving the automatic cleaning effect of the pipe, reducing the debris at the pipe marking, and improving the connection effect at the marking.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 and 3 This automatic marking device also includes a material blocking component for limiting the end of the pipe fitting, the material blocking component includes a telescopic drive unit 13, a baffle 14 and a support box 15, the support box 15 is connected to the protective box 2, and a plurality of telescopic drive units 13 are installed on the support box 15, and the output shaft of each telescopic drive unit 13 is connected to the baffle 14, the telescopic drive unit 13 is one of a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder and an electric cylinder, and the baffle 14 is driven to move by the telescopic drive unit 13. After the baffle 14 limits the end of the pipe, the pipe fitting to be processed can be effectively positioned. After the processing is completed, the output shaft of the telescopic drive unit 13 is retracted to make room for part of the pipe fitting to be disassembled after coding.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and 5This automatic identification device also includes a protection component, which includes a protection plate 6 and a baffle 8.

The protection plate 7 is used to further protect the area between the wiping brush 5 and the inkjet printer 10, thereby further reducing the impact of the cleaned debris on the inkjet printer 10.
[0035] Reference Figure 5 The inkjet coding support assembly also includes a guide tube 16, which is installed on the bracket 1. The guide tube 16 is provided with a through hole through which the pipe can pass. Through the setting of the guide tube 16, it is convenient to guide the processed pipe and improve the positioning effect of the pipe.
[0036] When in use, move the pipe to roller 1 9 and roller 2 17, the pipe moves at roller 2 17 and roller 1 9, and after triggering sensor 11, sensor 11 sends a signal to the controller controlling the rotation drive unit 3, controls the rotation drive unit 3 to start, and the rotation drive unit 3 drives the transmission shaft 4 and the wiping brush 5 to rotate, and the wiping brush 5 cleans the outer wall of the pipe, and continues to move the pipe to sensor 2 12.
