Detailed Embodiments

[0040] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: A rotatable cable printing device, including a base 1, a pad printer 2 fixed on the top surface of the base 1, a feeding mechanism 3 fixed on the pad printer 2, an ink tray 5, and an etching plate 6 fixed in the ink tray 5.

And a printing positioning hole 41 is machined on the rotating disk 4 near the ink tray 5. The driving mechanism 8 is drivably connected to the rotating disk 4 and is used to drive the rotating disk 4 to rotate. After adopting the above solution, during use, the etching plate 6 and the ink tray 5 with corresponding patterns are located at the inking station. The cable is payed out by a pay-off device and passes through the feeding mechanism 3. During this period, the pad printer 2 prints the cable. When necessary, the driving mechanism 8 is started to drive the rotating disk 4 to rotate, so as to switch different ink trays 5, so that the ink trays 5 with different etching plates 6 reach the inking station, which is applicable to processing scenarios that require printing different patterns or information, without disassembling and replacing the etching plate 6, making the processing more convenient and conducive to improving the processing efficiency.

[0043] It should be noted that the present utility model is an optimized improvement based on the existing pad printer 2, and the layout orientation of the ink tray 5 is improved. The printing operation principle of the pad printer 2 is prior art that has been fully disclosed, and will not be elaborated too much in this article.

[0044] Optionally, as shown by Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the driving mechanism 8 includes: a hollow frustum 81, a rotating cylinder 82, a fixed disk 83, a fixed column 84, a worm gear 85, a second perforated mounting ear 86, a worm 87, and a driving motor 88.

[0045] It should be noted that the above scheme is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not used to limit the present invention. The worm gear 85 and the worm 87 have the characteristic of reverse self-locking. Therefore, in the case where the driving motor 88 is not started, the rotating disk 4 will not rotate by itself and has high stability. During specific use, if the requirement for stability is not high, the driving motor 88 can also be directly used to drive the rotating disk 4 to rotate.

[0052] It should be noted that the drive motor 88 is a commercially available conventional device with a built-in power switch. Those skilled in the art can make a conventional selection according to the usage needs. Its working principle is common knowledge well-known to those skilled in the art and has been fully disclosed by the prior art, so it will not be elaborated here too much.
