Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of printer technology, and more particularly to a wire marking tube printer. Background Technology

[0002] The wire marking printer can print characters on materials such as PVC tubing, heat shrink tubing, and self-adhesive labels, meeting the needs of power plants, electrical equipment factories, substations, and the power industry for distinguishing and marking wires.

[0003] In related technologies, the wire marking tube moves and prints within the printer. Due to the relatively long length of the wire marking tube, blockages or loosening may occur during printing, resulting in poor contact between the wire marking tube and the print head. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a wire marking tube printer that can keep the wire marking tube taut in the tube path, thus improving the problem of the wire marking tube becoming loose during printing.

[0005] This application provides a wire marking tube printer, including:

[0006] The main unit has an inlet and an outlet, both of which are used for the wire tube to pass through.

[0007] A conveying component is installed on the host and located between the inlet and outlet of the pipe. The conveying component has a first channel through which the wire tube passes.

[0008] The printing component is located on the host and between the conveying component and the outlet tube. The printing component has a second channel through which the wire tube passes.

[0009] The inlet, first channel, second channel, and outlet are arranged in sequence to form a conduit path for the supply line pipe, and the conduit path is set in a curved shape.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the conveying assembly includes a conveying roller and a floating roller, the conveying roller being rotatably connected to the host, the conveying roller and the floating roller being disposed opposite to each other, and a first channel being formed between the conveying roller and the floating roller; the printing assembly includes a printing roller and a printed part, the printing roller being rotatably connected to the host, the printing roller and the printed part being disposed opposite to each other, and a second channel being formed between the printing roller and the printed part.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the floating roller is movably connected to the host machine so that the floating roller can move relative to the host machine and change the size of the first channel, so that the conveying assembly can clamp and feed the wire tube.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the wire marking printer further includes a ribbon cassette, which is disposed on the host unit and located on the side of the printed workpiece away from the printing roller. The ribbon cassette includes a ribbon sleeve, which is fitted onto the printed workpiece, thereby enabling the ribbon sleeve on the ribbon cassette to better connect with the printed workpiece and preventing the printing roller from interfering with the connection between the ribbon sleeve and the printed workpiece.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the distance between the first channel and the printing roller is less than the distance between the first channel and the printed part. The wire tube will turn around the circumference of the printing roller, and the printed part will contact the wire tube along the tangential direction of the printing roller, thereby reducing the friction between the wire tube and the ribbon sleeve.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the outer diameter of the conveyor roller is smaller than the outer diameter of the printing roller; the distance between the axis of the conveyor roller and the ribbon cartridge is greater than the distance between the axis of the printing roller and the ribbon cartridge; after the wire tube passes through the first channel of the conveyor assembly, the wire tube enters the second channel of the printing assembly at an angle relative to the ribbon cartridge, which is beneficial to forming a curved tube path.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the distance between the axis of the conveyor roller and the ribbon cartridge is d1, and the distance between the axis of the printing roller and the ribbon cartridge is d2. The difference between d1 and d2 is in the range of 1cm to 5cm. This not only prevents the bending of the wire tube's path from being too large, but also prevents the wire tube from having too large a contact area with the ribbon sleeve at the printing assembly, which would cause the wire tube to wipe away most of the toner on the ribbon sleeve.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the shortest line connecting the axis of the conveyor roller and the axis of the printing roller is the first line, and the line connecting the axis of the conveyor roller and the outlet is the second line. The first line and the second line are set at an angle, which is beneficial to controlling the relative positional relationship between the conveyor roller, the printing roller and the outlet.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the included angle between the first line and the second line ranges from 10° to 70°.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the printer has a printing section facing the second channel, the printing section being used to contact the wire tube, and the printing section being set at an angle to the first connecting line, so that the wire tube enters the second channel of the printing assembly at an angle relative to the ribbon cartridge, which is beneficial to forming a curved tube path.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the printout has a printing portion facing the second channel, the printing portion being used to contact the wire tube, the printing portion being located on the side of the printing roller's axis near the outlet, such that the wire tube bends at the printing roller, and the wire tube can extend obliquely upward from the left side of the printing roller.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the minimum distance between the centerline of the outlet and the axis of the printing roller is less than the distance between the printing section and the axis of the printing roller.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the outlet wall includes a first sidewall away from the printout, and the first sidewall is spaced apart from the printing part. This space can provide displacement space for the wire tube and prevent the wire tube from blocking the first sidewall of the outlet after it comes out of the second channel.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the distance between the first sidewall and the printing part is d3, and d3 is not less than 1cm.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the wire marking tube printer further includes a cutting assembly disposed on the host and located at the tube outlet. The cutting assembly has a third channel communicating with the tube outlet. The cutting assembly includes a cutting element and a support element disposed opposite to each other. The third channel is located between the cutting element and the support element. The cutting element is movable relative to the host to cut the wire marking tube located in the third channel.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the distance from the position of the second channel to the cutting member is less than the distance from the position of the second channel to the support member, so that when the wire tube extends from the second channel to the outlet, the wire tube moves toward the support member.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the periphery of the support is arc-shaped to facilitate the movement of the wire tube.

[0026] Based on the wire marking tube printer in this application embodiment, this application embodiment sets a curved tube path, causing the wire marking tube to bend and extend at the first channel and / or the second channel. The wire marking tube at the bend abuts against the conveying component and / or the printing component, so there is a force between the wire marking tube and the conveying component and / or the printing component. That is to say, compared with the straight path, in the curved path, the wire marking tube needs to bear the force at the conveying component and / or the printing component. This keeps the wire marking tube part in the wire marking tube printer in a taut state, which can reduce the possibility of the wire marking tube loosening during the movement of the wire marking tube printer, thereby reducing the problem of poor contact of the wire marking tube inside the wire marking tube printer.

[0041] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or related technologies, a clear and complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] In related technologies, the wire marking tube moves and prints within the printer. Due to the relatively long length of the wire marking tube, blockages or loosening may occur during printing, resulting in poor contact between the wire marking tube and the print head, leading to poor printing quality.

[0043] For the above situation, please refer to Figures 1-3 This application discloses a wire marking tube printer 1 for printing on wire marking tubes 2. The wire marking tube printer 1 includes a main unit 10, a conveying assembly 20, and a printing assembly 30. The main unit 10 has a receiving cavity, and the conveying assembly 20 and the printing assembly 30 are both disposed in the receiving cavity of the main unit 10. The inlet 11 and the outlet 12 are both connected to the receiving cavity. The wire marking tube 2 extends into the receiving cavity from the inlet 11, passes through the conveying assembly 20 and the printing assembly 30, and extends out from the outlet 12. The receiving cavity of the main unit 10 provides installation space and a base for the conveying assembly 20 and the printing assembly 30. The conveying assembly 20 is used to convey the wire marking tube 2, allowing the wire marking tube 2 to move and be printed in the wire marking tube printer 1. The printing assembly 30 is used to print characters on the outer wall of the wire marking tube 2.

[0044] The host 10 has an inlet 11 and an outlet 12, both of which are used for the wire number tube 2 to pass through. The conveying component 20 is located between the inlet 11 and the outlet 12. The conveying component 20 has a first channel 21 for the wire number tube 2 to pass through. The printing component 30 is located between the conveying component 20 and the outlet 12. The printing component 30 has a second channel 31 for the wire number tube 2 to pass through. The inlet 11, the first channel 21, the second channel 31 and the outlet 12 are arranged in sequence to form a tube path 13 for the wire number tube 2 to pass through. The tube path 13 for the wire number tube 2 is arranged in a curved shape.

[0045] It should be noted that the wire tube 2 enters the main body from the inlet 11, passes through the first channel 21 and the second channel 31 in sequence, and finally extends out from the outlet 12. The wire tube 2 moves and prints in the wire tube printer 1. At this time, the wire tube 2 extends in a curved shape in the tube path 13. Specifically, the wire tube 2 bends and extends at the first channel 21 and / or the second channel 31. The wire tube 2 at the bend abuts against the conveying component 20 and / or the printing component 30. Therefore, there is a force between the wire tube 2 and the conveying component 20 and / or the printing component 30. That is to say, compared with the straight path, in the curved path, the wire tube 2 needs to bear the force at the conveying component 20 and / or the printing component 30. This keeps the part of the wire tube 2 in the wire tube printer 1 in a taut state, which can reduce the possibility of the wire tube 2 loosening during the movement of the wire tube printer 1, thereby reducing the problem of poor contact of the wire tube 2 inside the wire tube printer 1.

[0046] Please see Figures 2-3In some embodiments of this application, the conveying assembly 20 includes a conveying roller 22 and a floating roller 23. The conveying roller 22 is rotatably connected to the host 10. The conveying roller 22 and the floating roller 23 are arranged opposite to each other, and a first channel 21 is formed between the conveying roller 22 and the floating roller 23.

[0047] It is easy to understand that the first channel 21 is located between the conveyor roller 22 and the floating roller 23. The wire marking tube 2 passes through the first channel 21. Both the conveyor roller 22 and the floating roller 23 can provide a limiting function for the wire marking tube 2. When the wire marking tube 2 passes through the first channel 21, it comes into contact with the conveyor roller 22. During the rotation of the conveyor roller 22, due to the friction between the conveyor roller 22 and the wire marking tube 2, the friction can drive the wire marking tube 2 to move along the tube path 13.

[0048] Furthermore, the floating roller 23 is movably connected to the main unit 10, allowing the floating roller 23 to move relative to the main unit 10 and change the size of the first channel 21. That is, when the wire tube 2 passes through the first channel 21, the floating roller 23 can move closer to the conveyor roller 22, thus reducing the size of the first channel 21. This means the wire tube 2 is clamped within the first channel 21, increasing the friction between the conveyor roller 22 and the wire tube 2, allowing the conveyor roller 22 to move the wire tube 2 more smoothly. Since the wire tube 2 is clamped by both the conveyor roller 22 and the floating roller 23 when passing through the first channel 21, there is also friction between the wire tube 2 and the floating roller 23. In some embodiments, the floating roller 23 can also be rotatably connected to the main unit 10, so that the friction between the floating roller 23 and the wire tube 2 can also drive the wire tube 2 to move along the tube path 13.

[0049] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the printing assembly 30 includes a printing roller 32 and a printable part 33. The printing roller 32 is rotatably connected to the host 10. The printing roller 32 and the printable part 33 are arranged opposite to each other, and a second channel 31 is formed between the printing roller 32 and the printable part 33.

[0050] As is easily understood, the second channel 31 is located between the printing roller 32 and the printed part 33. The marking tube 2 passes through the second channel 31, and both the printing roller 32 and the printed part 33 can provide a limiting function for the marking tube 2. When the marking tube 2 passes through the second channel 31, it comes into contact with the printing roller 32. During the rotation of the printing roller 32, due to the friction between the printing roller 32 and the marking tube 2, the friction can drive the marking tube 2 to move along the tube path 13. At the same time, the printed part 33 prints characters on the marking tube 2.

[0051] Furthermore, the printout 33 can also be movably connected to the host 10 so that the printout 33 can move relative to the host 10 and change the size of the second channel 31. That is, when the wire tube 2 passes through the second channel 31, the printout 33 can move towards the printing roller 32 so that the range of the second channel 31 is reduced, that is, the wire tube 2 is clamped in the second channel 31, so that the printout 33 can print characters on the wire tube 2 more smoothly.

[0052] For example, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the axis of the conveyor roller 22, the floating roller 23, and the printing roller 32 can all extend vertically. This ensures that when the marking tube 2 passes through the first channel 21, the periphery of the conveyor roller 22 and the floating roller 23 does not need to bear the weight of the marking tube 2, and the frictional force between the conveyor roller 22, the floating roller 23, and the marking tube 2 is the same. Similarly, when the marking tube 2 passes through the second channel 31, the periphery of the printing roller 32 and the printed part 33 does not need to bear the weight of the marking tube 2, thus avoiding the influence of the marking tube 2's own gravity. Since the conveyor roller 22 and the printing roller 32 are rotatably mounted on the host 10, they can be located on the same side of the tube path 13. Similarly, the floating roller 23 and the printed part 33 are movably mounted on the host 10, so they can also be located on the same side of the tube path 13. This reduces motion interference between the conveyor assembly 20 and the printing assembly 30.

[0053] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the wire marking printer 1 further includes a ribbon cartridge 40 disposed on the host 10. The ribbon cartridge 40 is located on the side of the printable part 33 away from the print roller 32. The ribbon cartridge 40 includes a ribbon sleeve (not shown in the figure) which is fitted onto the printable part 33.

[0054] Specifically, the distance from the ribbon cartridge 40 to the print head 33 is less than the distance from the ribbon cartridge 40 to the printing roller 32, thus allowing the ribbon sleeve on the ribbon cartridge 40 to connect better with the print head 33, preventing the printing roller 32 from interfering with the connection between the ribbon sleeve and the print head 33. The print head 33 can be a thermal print head, with the ribbon sleeve fitted onto it. The thermal print head has a row of heating resistors. During printing, these heating resistors contact the marking tube 2. When a certain current passes through these heating resistors, they quickly generate high temperatures. Under certain pressure, when the toner on the ribbon sleeve contacts these heating resistors, the temperature rises in a very short time, and the toner prints characters on the marking tube 2.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the distance between the first channel 21 and the printing roller 32 is less than the distance between the first channel 21 and the printed part 33. That is to say, after the wire tube 2 passes through the first channel 21, the wire tube 2 will first contact the printing roller 32, and then contact the printed part 33 when passing through the second channel 31. It can be understood that the wire tube 2 extends from the first channel 21 to the second channel 31, and the wire tube 2 bends at the second channel 31. At this time, the printing roller 32 is located inside the bending path, and the printed part 33 is located outside the bending path. That is to say, the wire tube 2 will turn around the circumference of the printing roller 32, and the printed part 33 contacts the wire tube 2 along the tangent direction of the printing roller 32, thereby reducing the contact area between the wire tube 2 and the ribbon sleeve on the printed part 33, so as to reduce the friction between the wire tube 2 and the ribbon sleeve, thereby greatly reducing the situation where the wire tube 2 wipes off the toner on the ribbon sleeve.

[0056] Please see Figures 3-4 In some embodiments of this application, the shortest distance from the side of the conveyor roller 22 to the ribbon cartridge 40 is L1, and the shortest distance from the side of the printing roller 32 to the ribbon cartridge 40 is L2. The perpendicular distance between the side of the conveyor roller 22 near the ribbon cartridge 40 and the side of the ribbon cartridge 40 near the wiring path is the shortest distance from the side of the conveyor roller 22 to the ribbon cartridge 40, and the perpendicular distance between the side of the printing roller 32 near the ribbon cartridge 40 and the side of the ribbon cartridge 40 near the wiring path is the shortest distance from the side of the printing roller 32 to the ribbon cartridge 40. Since the outer diameter of the conveyor roller 22 is smaller than the outer diameter of the printing roller 32, and the distance between the axis of the conveyor roller 22 and the ribbon cartridge 40 is greater than the distance between the axis of the printing roller 32 and the ribbon cartridge 40, L1 is greater than L2. That is to say, after the wire tube 2 passes through the first channel 21 of the conveyor assembly 20, the wire tube 2 enters the second channel 31 of the printing assembly 30 at an angle relative to the ribbon cartridge 40, which is conducive to forming a curved tube path 13.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, the distance between the axis of the conveyor roller 22 and the ribbon cartridge 40 is d1, and the distance between the axis of the printing roller 32 and the ribbon cartridge 40 is d2. The difference between d1 and d2 is 1cm to 5cm. Since d1 is greater than d2, the value range of d1-d2 is 1cm≤(d1-d2)≤5cm, which can ensure the relative position of the conveyor roller 22 and the printing roller 32. If the distance difference between the conveyor roller 22 and the printing roller 32 to the ribbon cartridge 40 is too large, such as a difference greater than 5cm, the bending angle of the wire tube 2 will be too large during its journey from the conveyor assembly 20 to the printing assembly 30 and then to the outlet 12, resulting in an unsmooth flow of the wire tube 2. If the distance difference between the conveyor roller 22 and the printing roller 32 to the ribbon cartridge 40 is too small, such as a difference less than 1cm, the contact area between the wire tube 2 and the ribbon sleeve on the printable part 33 will be too large when the wire tube 2 reaches the printing assembly 30, thereby rubbing off the toner on the ribbon sleeve and resulting in poor printing effect of the wire tube 2 by the printable part 33.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the shortest connection between the axis of the conveyor roller 22 and the axis of the printing roller 32 is the first connection (not shown in the figure), and the connection between the axis of the conveyor roller 22 and the outlet 12 is the second connection (not shown in the figure). The first connection and the second connection are set at an angle.

[0059] Specifically, the axis of the conveyor roller 22 is parallel to the axis of the printing roller 32. The shortest connecting line between the axis of the conveyor roller 22 and the axis of the printing roller 32 is perpendicular to both the axis of the conveyor roller 22 and the axis of the printing roller 32. That is, the first connecting line is perpendicular to both the axis of the conveyor roller 22 and the axis of the printing roller 32. The first connecting line and the second connecting line are not parallel. This allows the wire tube 2 to enter the second channel 31 of the printing assembly 30 at an angle relative to the ribbon cartridge 40, which is beneficial for forming a curved tube path 13. During the process of the wire tube 2 from the conveyor assembly 20 to the printing assembly 30 and then to the outlet 12, the wire tube 2 extends in a bent shape, so that the part of the wire tube 2 in the wire tube printer 1 is in a taut state, which can reduce the possibility of the wire tube 2 loosening during the movement in the wire tube printer 1.

[0060] Furthermore, the included angle between the first and second connecting lines is in the range of 10° to 70°, which is beneficial for controlling the relative positional relationship of the conveyor roller 22, the printing roller 32 and the outlet 12. This not only prevents the bending degree of the tube path 13 of the wire tube 2 from being too large, but also prevents the contact area between the wire tube 2 and the ribbon sleeve at the printing assembly 30 from being too large, which would cause the wire tube 2 to wipe away most of the toner on the ribbon sleeve.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3As shown, the printer 33 has a printing section 331 facing the second channel 31. The printing section 331 is used to contact the wire tube 2. The printing section 331 is set at an angle to the first connecting line. That is, the first connecting line is not parallel to the printing section 331. When the wire tube 2 extends from the conveying assembly 20 to the printing assembly 30 until the printing section 331 contacts the wire tube 2, the contact surface between the wire tube 2 and the printing section 331 is also set at an angle to the first connecting line. This makes the wire tube 2 enter the second channel 31 of the printing assembly 30 at an angle relative to the ribbon cartridge 40, which is beneficial to forming a curved tube path 13.

[0062] The printing section 331 on the printing part 33 can be a heating resistor on the thermal print head. The multiple heating resistors on the thermal print head are arranged in a straight line, so the printing section 331 extends in a straight line on the printing part 33.

[0063] Please see Figures 3-4 In some embodiments of this application, the printing section 331 is located on the side of the printing roller 32 near the outlet 12. For example, the conveying component 20 is located on the right side of the printing component 30, and the outlet 12 is located on the left side of the printing component 30. The positions of the conveying component 20, the printing component 30, and the outlet 12 are staggered to form a bent tube path 13. The printing section 331 is located on the left side of the printing roller 32, which causes the wire tube 2 to bend at the printing roller 32. After the wire tube 2 extends around the circumference of the printing roller 32 and passes through the printing section 331, the wire tube 2 separates from the printing section 331. The wire tube 2 continues to extend from the left side of the printing roller 32 along the tangential direction of the printing roller 32 to the outlet 12. That is, the wire tube 2 extends obliquely upward from the left side of the printing roller 32.

[0064] Specifically, the minimum distance between the centerline of the outlet 12 and the axis of the printing roller 32 is less than the distance between the printing section 331 and the axis of the printing roller 32. The perpendicular distance between the centerline of the outlet 12 and the axis of the printing roller 32 is the minimum distance between the centerline of the outlet 12 and the axis of the printing roller 32. Therefore, in the perpendicular direction from the centerline of the outlet 12 to the axis of the printing roller 32, the centerline of the outlet 12 is located between the axis of the printing roller 32 and the printing section 331. As a result, when the wire tube 2 extends from the second channel 31 to the outlet 12, the wire tube 2 needs to extend around the circumference of the printing roller 32 in a direction away from the printing section 331, so that the wire tube 2 can separate from the printed part 33 as soon as possible after contact, thereby reducing the contact area between the wire tube 2 and the printed part 33 and reducing the amount of toner wiped off the ribbon sleeve by the wire tube 2.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the outlet 12 has a first sidewall 121 away from the printout 33. After the wire tube 2 separates from the printout 33, it extends toward the outlet 12. Since the outlet 12 is not on the same straight line as the second channel 31, when the wire tube 2 reaches the outlet 12, it will contact the first sidewall 121 of the outlet 12 and turn to continue extending in the direction of the centerline of the outlet 12. The first sidewall 121 and the printout 331 are spaced apart. This space provides displacement space for the wire tube 2 and prevents the wire tube 2 from blocking the first sidewall 121 of the outlet 12 after it comes out of the second channel 31.

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the distance between the first sidewall 121 and the printing part 331 is d3, and d3 is not less than 1cm. If d3 is too small, the displacement space provided for the wire tube 2 will be too small, and it will also be easy for the wire tube 2 to be blocked at the first sidewall 121 of the outlet 12 after it comes out of the second channel 31.

[0067] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the wire marking tube printer 1 further includes a cutting assembly 50. The cutting assembly 50 is disposed on the host 10 and located at the tube outlet 12. The cutting assembly 50 has a third channel 51 communicating with the tube outlet 12. The cutting assembly 50 includes a cutting element 52 and a support element 53 disposed opposite to each other. The third channel 51 is located between the cutting element 52 and the support element 53. After the wire marking tube 2 passes through the second channel 31, it can enter the third channel 51 of the cutting assembly 50. The cutting element 52 can move relative to the host 10 to cut the wire marking tube 2 located in the third channel 51. The cutting element 52 can be a cutter, and the support element 53 can provide support for the wire marking tube 2.

[0068] Specifically, the cutting assembly 50 may also include an elastic element, which is telescopically disposed in the third channel 51, and the elastic element and the cutting element 52 are disposed on the same side of the third channel 51. When the wire tube 2 is cut in the third channel 51, the elastic element extends and clamps the wire tube 2 between the elastic element and the support member 53. Then the cutting element 52 extends and cuts the wire tube 2.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the distance from the position of the second channel 31 to the cutting member 52 is less than the distance from the position of the second channel 31 to the support member 53. It is easy to understand that the support member 53 is located on the side of the third channel 51 away from the second channel 31, and the cutting member 52 is located on the side of the third channel 51 close to the second channel 31. As a result, when the wire tube 2 extends from the second channel 31 to the outlet 12, the wire tube 2 moves towards the support member 53.

[0070] Specifically, the periphery of the support member 53 is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped surface on the support member 53 can provide guidance for the movement of the wire tube 2, so that the wire tube 2 extends into the third channel 51, thereby preventing the wire tube 2 from being blocked at the cutting member 52.
