[0033] Figure 1 A schematic top view of a cable marker ring provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 Show Figure 1 A side view of a cable marker ring is shown. Figure 3 Show Figure 2Cross-sectional view of line AA. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cable marker ring includes a bracket 100 , a first roller 200 and an ink absorbing member 500 .
[0034] In some embodiments, the bracket 100 can be sleeved around the outer circumference of the cable. It should be noted that the shape of the bracket 100 can be annular. The annular shape here can be a closed annular shape, such as a circular ring, or an annular shape with a gap, which is not disclosed in this disclosure. Optionally, the material of the bracket 100 is selected from metal, ceramic, or plastic. For example, the metal can be copper, aluminum, etc., and the plastic can be ABS plastic, polyamide, etc. These materials have certain strength and good wear resistance.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 100 is internally provided with an ink tank 104. The bracket includes an ink injection port 105 connected to the ink tank 104, facilitating the user's injection of ink into the ink tank 104. An ink absorber 500 is disposed within the ink tank 104 to absorb the ink. The material of the ink absorber 500 is selected from an ink-absorbing resin or sponge, which is not limited herein.
[0036] Furthermore, a first roller 200 is disposed on a side of the bracket 100 proximal to the cable (not shown). The first roller 200 is capable of rolling relative to the bracket 100. It should be noted that the bracket 100 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the cable, so that the inner side of the bracket 100 is closer to the cable and the outer side is farther away from the cable. A portion of the first roller 200 contacts the ink absorbing member 500, while a portion of the first roller 200 is exposed outside the bracket 100. Based on this structure, as the bracket 100 moves along the cable, the first roller 200 can apply ink from the ink absorbing member 500 to the cable, thereby marking the cable.
[0037] Figure 5 The present invention provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a first roller. Figure 5 An example description is as follows:
[0038] The first roller 200 includes a bristle layer 203 , a cylindrical body 202 and a connecting portion 201 coaxially arranged with the cylindrical body 202 ; the bristle layer 203 wraps the outer circumference of the cylindrical body 202 . Figure 4 Show Figure 3 The enlarged view of the dotted box B in the middle, refer to Figure 4The bracket 100 includes a connecting groove 109. The connecting portion 201 is located within the connecting groove 109 and is rotatable relative to the connecting groove 109. When the bracket moves along the cable axis, the bristle layer 203 contacts the cable, applying ink to the cable surface. Furthermore, because the first roller 200 rolls relative to the bracket 100, the bristle layer 203 cycles between contacting the ink absorber 500 to absorb ink and contacting the cable to apply ink. It should be noted that the bristle layer 203 can be made of either artificial or natural hair, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0039] In some embodiments, the cable marker ring further includes a second roller 300. The second roller 300 differs from the first roller 200 in that the second roller 300 can only rotate relative to the bracket 100 and does not apply ink. Optionally, the second roller 300 lacks the bristle layer 203 compared to the first roller 200.
[0040] The second roller 300 is disposed on a side of the bracket 100 close to the cable. Here, the connection method between the second roller 300 and the bracket 100 can be the same as the connection method between the first roller 300 and the bracket 100, and no further details are given.
[0041] The second roller 300 and the first roller 200 are symmetrical with respect to the center of the bracket 100. The symmetrical arrangement of the second roller 300 and the first roller 200 helps the cable marker ring maintain balance during movement, and the second roller 300 helps reduce friction between the cable marker ring and the cable, facilitating operation.
[0042] Exemplarily, the number of the second roller 300 is one, the number of the first roller 200 is one, and a connecting line between the two passes through the center of the bracket 100 .
[0043] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the number of the second rollers 300 is three, the number of the first roller 200 is one, and the three second rollers 300 and the one first roller 200 are located at the four vertices of a square.
[0044] In some embodiments, ink tank 104 includes a central tank 103 and an outer tank 102 communicating with central tank 103; ink absorber 500 is located within central tank 103. The outer tank 102 can expand the volume of ink tank 104, allowing for greater storage of ink and reducing the need for frequent refills during use, thus increasing convenience. Optionally, the inner diameter of central tank 103 is larger than that of outer tank 102, and the length of central tank 103 is shorter than that of outer tank 102.
[0045] In some embodiments, the cable marker ring further includes a first airbag 402 and a first air supply tube 401. The first airbag 402 is disposed in the central groove 103, and the first air supply tube 401 is exposed to the bracket 100. By changing the air volume in the first airbag 402 through the first air supply tube 402, the amount of ink in the ink absorber 500 can be adjusted. Here, the first airbag 402 is naturally closed, and the air volume in the first airbag 402 can be adjusted, for example, by filling or absorbing air, through the first air supply tube 401. Optionally, a valve is provided on the first air supply tube 401 to facilitate control and maintenance of the air volume in the first airbag 402.
[0046] Here, at the initial stage of ink filling, increasing the amount of air in the first airbag 402 can squeeze the ink absorbing member 500, thereby expelling air from the ink absorbing member 500 and facilitating the inflow of ink. Conversely, when the ink absorbing member 500 is filled with ink, increasing the amount of air in the first airbag 402 can squeeze the ink absorbing member 500, thereby expelling ink from the ink absorbing member 500. Thus, the first airbag 402 can be used to conveniently adjust the amount of ink in the ink absorbing member 500.
[0047] It should be understood that the gap between at least one of the first air delivery pipe 401 and the bracket 100 is in a sealed state to prevent ink from overflowing.
[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, at least one pair of notches ( Figure 3 Only one of a pair of notches is shown in the figure), each pair of notches is arranged on both sides of the central groove 103; the notch is covered by the elastic membrane layer 106; the bracket 100 includes at least one pair of grooves, each of the grooves corresponds to one notch; at least part of the elastic membrane layer 106 is exposed in the groove, and a slide groove 107 and a slider 108 are arranged in the groove, and the slider 108 can move along the slide groove 107, so that the elastic membrane layer 106 undergoes elastic deformation under the action of the slider 108 to cut off the extension groove 102. Figure 3 The direction of the double arrow is the moving direction of the elastic membrane layer 106 .
[0049] By changing the position of the elastic membrane layer 106 in at least one pair of notches, the outer grooves 102 can be cut off. When the central groove 103 is located at the top of the cable, ink flows out of the central groove 103 under the action of gravity and flows toward the outer grooves 102. When the amount of ink is small, this can affect the ink absorbing member 500's ability to obtain ink. By using the elastic membrane layer 106 to cut off the outer grooves 102 and concentrate the ink in the central groove 103, it can prevent ink from flowing out of the central groove 103, thereby ensuring that the ink absorbing member 500 can properly obtain ink.
[0050] In addition, when the cable marking ring is in the retracted state, the first airbag 402 is used to squeeze the ink in the ink absorbing member 500 into the epitaxial groove 102, and the elastic membrane layer 106 is used to cut off the epitaxial groove 102 to concentrate the ink in the epitaxial groove 102, which can prevent the ink absorbing member 500 from being immersed in ink for a long time and avoid ink waste.
[0051] It should be noted that the number of the notches can be one pair, two pairs, three pairs, etc., so as to facilitate truncation at different positions of the epitaxial groove 102 .
[0052] In some embodiments, the slide groove 107 is tilted relative to the elastic mold layer 106 to facilitate the operation of the slider 108 .
[0053] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 100 further includes a pull ring 101, which is arranged on a side of the bracket 100 away from the cable. The user can set a traction rope on the pull ring 101 to facilitate the user to operate the bracket 100 to move.
