[0002] A wire marking tube printer is a device that prints markings and other designs onto wire marking tubes. In related technologies, the main unit of the wire marking tube printer is equipped with a tube guide groove. When printing on the wire marking tube, the tube is placed in the tube guide groove of the main unit, and the printing is performed as the tube travels along the groove.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0035] This application provides a wire marking tube printer to solve the problem in related technologies where wire marking tubes may become blocked during the tube feeding process, causing the wire marking tubes to stop moving forward along the tube feeding groove. This results in the wire marking tube printer not printing different parts of the wire marking tube as designed, and if measures are not taken in time, it will cause a large amount of waste of wire marking tubes.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the wire marking tube printer includes a main unit 10, a tube feeding assembly 20, and a printing assembly 30. The main unit 10 has a tube feeding groove 11 for the wire marking tube 80 to pass through. The wire marking tube 80 can pass through the tube feeding groove 11 in the direction of extension from the inlet end 111 to the outlet end 112 of the tube feeding groove 11. The tube feeding assembly 20 is disposed on the main unit 10 and is used to drive the wire marking tube 80 to move along the tube feeding groove 11 to realize the passage of the wire marking tube 80. The printing assembly 30 is disposed on the main unit 10 and is used to print labels on the wire marking tube 80 to classify the different uses of the wire marking tube 80.

[0037] More specifically, the wire marking tube printer also includes a first tube blockage detection element 40 and a control component; the first tube blockage detection element 40 is disposed on the host 10 and is used to detect the movement of the wire marking tube 80; the control component is disposed on the host 10 and is communicatively connected to the tube feeding component 20 and the first tube blockage detection element 40. The control component is used to control the tube feeding component 20 to stop operating when the first tube blockage detection element 40 detects that the wire marking tube 80 in the tube feeding groove 11 is blocked. The control component can be a control circuit board.

[0038] Understandably, in this application, the first tube blockage detection component 40 can detect the movement of the wire marking tube 80. When the first tube blockage detection component 40 detects that the wire marking tube 80 in the tube delivery groove 11 is blocked, it can send a blockage signal to the control component in a timely manner. The control component controls the tube delivery component 20 to stop running, thereby allowing the wire marking tube 80 to stop moving in a timely manner. This can prevent the wire marking tube printer from printing different parts of the wire marking tube 80 as required by the design, resulting in a large waste of the wire marking tube 80, and can also prevent the wire marking tube printer from being damaged due to tube blockage.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the printing assembly 30 includes a printing roller 31 and a print head 32; the printing roller 31 is located in the tube passage 11 and is rotatably connected to the host 10; the print head 32 is disposed opposite to the printing roller 31, and a first tube passage 33 for the wire marking tube 80 to pass through is formed between the print head 32 and the printing roller 31. It is understood that when printing the wire marking tube 80, the wire marking tube 80 passes through the first tube passage 33, and the wire marking tube 80 is sandwiched between the print head 32 and the printing roller 31. When the wire marking tube 80 travels along the tube passage direction of the tube passage 11, the printing roller 31 rotates relative to the host 10 (to...). Figure 2 Taking the perspective shown as an example, the printing roller 31 rotates clockwise to feed the tube, while the print head 32 prints the printing layer in the ribbon onto the number tube 80, thus achieving label printing on the number tube 80.

[0040] The printing roller 31 is spaced apart from the side of the first tube channel 33 and the side wall of the tube groove 11. The side wall of the tube groove 11 includes a first side wall 113 facing the printing roller 31. The printing roller 31 and the first side wall 113 are arranged sequentially along the tube direction of the tube groove 11 (i.e., the first side wall 113 is located on the side of the printing roller 31 away from the inlet end 111). A first gap space 51 is formed between the first side wall 113 and the printing roller 31. It should be noted that by spaced apart between the printing roller 31 and the side wall of the tube groove 11, a rotational gap is provided between the printing roller 31 and the side wall of the tube groove 11 to allow the printing roller 31 to rotate smoothly. This prevents friction between the printing roller 31 and the side wall of the tube groove 11 from affecting the rotation of the printing roller 31.

[0041] In some embodiments, the distance between the printing roller 31 and the sidewall of the tube tray 11 is L1, where 0.1 mm ≤ L1 ≤ 1 mm. When L1 is less than 0.1 mm, the gap between the printing roller 31 and the sidewall of the tube tray 11 is too small, and the printing roller 31 is prone to friction with the sidewall of the tube tray 11, affecting the rotation of the printing roller 31. When L1 is greater than 1 mm, the gap between the printing roller 31 and the sidewall of the tube tray 11 is too large, and the printing roller 31 is prone to bringing the wire tube 80 into the first gap space 51 when rotating, causing tube blockage. L1 can be 0.1 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, 1 mm, or other values.

[0042] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first tube blockage detection element 40 is disposed in the first gap space 51. The first tube blockage detection element 40 is used to detect the movement of the wire marking tube 80 within the first gap space 51. When the first tube blockage detection element 40 detects that the wire marking tube 80 is blocked in the first gap space 51, the control component controls the tube feeding component 20 to stop operating. It is understood that during the tube feeding process, the probability of the tube being carried into the first gap space 51 by the printing roller 31, resulting in tube blockage, is relatively high. By using the first tube blockage detection element 40 to directly detect the movement of the wire marking tube 80 within the first gap space 51, it is possible to better determine whether the wire marking tube 80 is blocked in the first gap space 51, thereby improving detection accuracy and reducing the probability of not stopping tube feeding in time when blockage occurs.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first pipe blockage detection element 40 can be a first microswitch sensor. When the wire tube 80 touches the actuating part of the first microswitch sensor, the first microswitch sensor sends a pipe blockage signal to the control component, and the control component controls the pipe delivery component 20 to stop operating. The specific working principle of the microswitch sensor has been disclosed in related technologies and will not be described in detail here. In other embodiments, the first pipe blockage detection element 40 can also be an infrared detection sensor, a pressure sensor, or other sensors that can detect the movement of the wire tube 80.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first micro switch sensor includes a first actuation part 41 and a first detection part 42; the first actuation part 41 is rotatably connected to the host 10; it is used to detect the position of the first actuation part 41 in order to detect the movement of the wire tube 80 in the first gap space 51, and the control component is communicatively connected to the first detection part 42.

[0045] The first actuating part 41 has a first actuating surface 411 located in the first gap space 51 and facing the printing roller 31. The first actuating surface 411 is used to contact the wire tube 80 when it enters the first gap space 51. When the wire tube 80 contacts the first actuating surface 411 and drives the first actuating part 41 to rotate, the first detection part 42 detects that the wire tube 80 is blocked in the first gap space 51, and the control component controls the tube feeding assembly 20 to stop operating. Understandably, when the wire tube 80 moves to the first gap space 51 and contacts the first contact surface 411, as the wire tube 80 continues to move, the first contact part 41 will be pushed by the wire tube 80, causing the position of the first contact part 41 to change. The first detection unit 42 can detect the position of the first contact part 41. When the first detection unit 42 detects that the position of the first contact part 41 has changed, the first detection unit 42 detects that the wire tube 80 is blocked in the first gap space 51 and sends a blockage signal to the control component. The control component controls the tube delivery component 20 to stop operating.

[0046] It should also be noted that the host 10 may be provided with a first mounting hole 12 for mounting the printing roller 31. The shaft of the printing roller 31 is mounted in the first mounting hole 12. The rotation axis of the first actuating part 41 may be parallel to the rotation axis of the printing roller 31, and the first actuating part 41 may rotate around its rotation axis. The first detection part 42 may be a light sensor. When the position of the first actuating part 41 changes, the detection light detected by the light sensor changes, thereby detecting the change in the position of the first actuating part 41. The host 10 may be formed with a first mounting hole 12 located at the first actuating part 41. The first receiving space 13 is located on the side of the wall 113 away from the first gap space 51. The first detection part 42 is located in the first receiving space 13 to prevent dust and other dirt from causing false detection by the first detection part 42. The first side wall 113 is provided with a first connecting hole 14 connecting the first receiving space 13 and the first gap space 51. The part of the first actuating part 41 that cooperates with the first detection part 42 is located in the first receiving space 13, and the part of the first actuating part 41 with the first actuating surface 411 extends from the first connecting hole 14 to the first gap space 51.

[0047] In some embodiments, the distance between the portion of the first actuating surface 411 furthest from the first sidewall 113 and the first sidewall 113 along the tube-running direction of the tube groove 11 is L2, where 1 mm ≤ L1 ≤ 20 mm. It is understood that when L2 is less than 1 mm, the length of the portion of the first actuating part 41 extending from the first connecting hole 14 into the first gap space 51 is relatively short. When the wire tube 80 enters the first gap space 51, it is difficult for it to contact the first actuating surface 411, which results in low detection sensitivity of the first tube blockage detection element 40. When L2 is greater than 20 mm, the first actuating surface 411 easily contacts the printing roller 31, thereby causing friction with the printing tube and affecting its rotation. It may also be triggered by the printing tube, leading to false detections. L2 can be 1 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, or other values.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first actuating surface 411 includes a first abutting surface 411a and a second abutting surface 411b. The second abutting surface 411b is located in the first gap space 51 and connected to the first abutting surface 411a. The second abutting surface 411b extends obliquely away from the first abutting surface 411a and away from the print head 32, so that when the wire tube 80 enters the first gap space 51 and abuts against the second abutting surface 411b, it is easier to push the second abutting surface 411b to rotate away from the print head 32, thereby making it easier for the first actuating part 41 to rotate away from the print head 32, thereby enabling the first tube blockage detection element 40 to have higher detection sensitivity.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the tube feeding assembly 20 and the printing assembly 30 are arranged along the tube feeding direction. The tube feeding assembly 20 includes a conveying roller 21, a floating roller 22, and a driving component. The conveying roller 21 is located in the tube feeding groove 11 and is rotatably connected to the host 10. The floating roller 22 is arranged opposite to the conveying roller 21, and a second tube feeding channel 23 for the wire number tube 80 to pass through is formed between the floating roller 22 and the conveying roller 21. The driving component is driven by the conveying roller 21 and is used to drive the conveying roller 21 to rotate. The driving component is communicatively connected to the control component, which is used to control the driving component to stop running when the first tube blockage detection component 40 detects that the wire number tube 80 in the tube feeding groove 11 is blocked. It can be understood that when printing the wire number tube 80, the wire number tube 80 passes through the inlet end 111, the second tube feeding channel 23, the first tube feeding channel 33, and the outlet end 112 in sequence. The control component controls the driving component to drive the conveying roller 21 to rotate relative to the host 10 (towards...). Figure 6Taking the perspective shown as an example, the conveyor roller 21 will rotate clockwise to deliver the tube. The rotation axis of the conveyor roller 21 can be parallel to the rotation axis of the printing roller 31. The conveyor roller 21 can rotate around its rotation axis. The driving component can be an electric motor or other electric component.

[0050] The conveyor roller 21 is spaced apart from the side of the tube passage 23 and the side wall of the tube groove 11. The side wall of the tube groove 11 includes a second side wall 114 facing the conveyor roller 21. The second side wall 114 and the conveyor roller 21 are arranged sequentially along the tube direction of the tube groove 11 (i.e., the second side wall 114 is located on the side of the conveyor roller 21 near the inlet end 111). A second gap space 52 is formed between the second side wall 114 and the conveyor roller 21. It should be noted that by spaced apart between the conveyor roller 21 and the side wall of the tube groove 11, a rotational gap is provided between the conveyor roller 21 and the side wall of the tube groove 11 to allow the conveyor roller 21 to rotate smoothly. This prevents friction between the conveyor roller 21 and the side wall of the tube groove 11 from affecting the rotation of the printing roller 31.

[0051] In some embodiments, the distance between the conveying roller 21 and the side wall of the tube trough 11 is L3, where 0.1 mm ≤ L3 ≤ 1 mm. When L3 is less than 0.1 mm, the gap between the conveying roller 21 and the side wall of the tube trough 11 is too small, and the conveying roller 21 is prone to friction with the side wall of the tube trough 11, affecting the rotation of the conveying roller 21. When L3 is greater than 1 mm, the gap between the conveying roller 21 and the side wall of the tube trough 11 is too large, and the wire tube 80 is prone to enter the second gap space 52, causing blockage. L2 can be 0.1 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, 1 mm, or other values.

[0052] In some embodiments, the wire marking tube printer further includes a second tube blockage detection element, at least partially disposed in the second gap space 52. The second tube blockage detection element is used to detect the movement of the wire marking tube 80 within the second gap space 52. When the second tube blockage detection element detects that the wire marking tube 80 is blocked in the second gap space 52, the control component controls the tube feeding assembly 20 to stop operating. It is understood that during the tube feeding process, the probability of the tube entering the second gap space 52 and causing blockage is relatively high. Using the second tube blockage detection element to directly detect the movement of the wire marking tube 80 within the second gap space 52 can better determine whether the wire marking tube 80 is blocked in the second gap space 52, thereby improving detection accuracy and reducing the probability of not stopping tube feeding in time when blockage occurs.

[0053] In some embodiments, the second pipe blockage detection element can be a second microswitch sensor. When the wire tube 80 touches the actuating part of the second microswitch sensor, the second microswitch sensor sends a pipe blockage signal to the control component, and the control component controls the pipe feeding assembly 20 to stop operating. In other embodiments, the second pipe blockage detection element can also be an infrared detection sensor, a pressure sensor, or other sensors that can detect the movement of the wire tube 80.

[0054] Specifically, the second micro switch sensor includes a second actuating part and a second detection part; the second actuating part is rotatably connected to the host 10; the second detection part is used to detect the position of the second actuating part in order to detect the movement of the wire tube 80 in the second gap space 52, and the control component is communicatively connected to the second detection part.

[0055] The second actuating part has a second actuating surface located in the second gap space 52 and facing the conveyor roller 21. The second actuating surface is used to contact the wire tube 80 when it enters the second gap space 52. When the wire tube 80 contacts the second actuating surface and drives the second actuating part to rotate, the second detection part detects that the wire tube 80 is blocked in the second gap space 52, and the control component controls the tube feeding assembly 20 to stop operating. It can be understood that when the wire tube 80 moves into the second gap space 52 and contacts the second actuating surface, as the wire tube 80 continues to move, the second actuating part is pushed by the wire tube 80, causing a change in the position of the second actuating part. The second detection part can detect the position of the second actuating part. When the second detection part detects a change in the position of the second actuating part, the second detection part detects that the wire tube 80 is blocked in the second gap space 52 and sends a blockage signal to the control component, which then controls the tube feeding assembly 20 to stop operating.

[0056] It should also be noted that, such as Figure 7 As shown, the host 10 may be provided with a second mounting hole 15 for mounting the conveyor roller 21, and the shaft of the conveyor roller 21 is mounted in the second mounting hole 15; the second detection part may be a light sensor. When the position of the second touch part changes, the detection light detected by the light sensor changes, thereby detecting the change in the position of the second touch part. The host 10 may be provided with a second receiving space 16 located on the side of the second side wall 114 away from the second gap space 52. The second detection part is located in the second receiving space 16 to prevent dust and other dirt from causing false detection by the second detection part. The second side wall 114 is provided with a second connecting hole 17 connecting the second receiving space 16 and the second gap space 52. The part of the second touch part that cooperates with the second detection part is located in the second receiving space 16, and the part of the second touch part with the second touch surface extends from the second connecting hole 17 to the second gap space 52.

[0057] In some embodiments, the distance between the portion of the second contact surface furthest from the second sidewall 114 and the second sidewall 114 along the pipe-running direction of the pipe-running groove 11 is L4, where 1 mm ≤ L4 ≤ 20 mm. It is understood that when L4 is less than 1 mm, the length of the portion of the second contact part extending from the second connecting hole 17 into the second gap space 52 is relatively short. When the wire tube 80 enters the second gap space 52, it is difficult for it to contact the second contact surface, which leads to low detection sensitivity of the second pipe blockage detection element. When L4 is greater than 20 mm, the second contact surface easily contacts the conveyor roller 21, thereby causing friction with the conveyor roller 21 and affecting its rotation. It may also be touched by the conveyor roller 21, leading to false detection. L4 can be 1 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, or other values.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second actuating surface includes a third abutting surface and a fourth abutting surface. The fourth abutting surface is located in the second gap space 52 and connected to the third abutting surface. The fourth abutting surface extends obliquely away from the third abutting surface and away from the floating roller 22, so that when the wire tube 80 enters the second gap space 52 and abuts against the fourth abutting surface, it is easier to push the fourth abutting surface to rotate away from the floating roller 22. This makes it easier for the second actuating part to rotate away from the floating roller 22, thereby enabling the second tube blockage detection element to have higher detection sensitivity.

[0059] like Figure 8 As shown in some embodiments of this application, the bottom of the tube tray 11 includes a first base plate 18 and a second base plate 19. The wire marking tube printer also includes a tube cutting assembly 60 and a camera detection component 70. The tube cutting assembly 60 is used to cut the wire marking tube 80. The first base plate 18, the tube cutting assembly 60, and the second base plate 19 are arranged sequentially along the tube routing direction of the tube tray 11. The camera detection component 70 is disposed on the host 10. The camera detection component 70 is used to detect the movement of the wire marking tube 80 at the second base plate 19. The camera detection component 70 is communicatively connected to the control component. The control component is also used to control the tube feeding assembly 20 to stop operating when the camera detection component 70 detects that the wire marking tube 80 is blocked at the second base plate 19.

[0060] It is understandable that the second base plate 19 is located near the outlet end 112, and the pipe cutting assembly 60 is located between the second base plate 19 and the first base plate 18. When the wire tube 80 passes through the first base plate 18, the pipe cutting assembly 60 and the second base plate 19 in sequence along the pipe running direction, in order to raise the wire tube 80 so that the pipe cutting assembly 60 can cut the wire tube 80, a stepped structure will be formed at the second base plate 19, which makes the wire tube 80 easy to get blocked at the second base plate 19, resulting in pipe blockage. In this embodiment, a camera detection device 70 is set to detect the movement of the wire tube 80 at the second base plate 19. When the camera detection device 70 detects that the wire tube 80 is blocked at the second base plate 19, it can send a blockage signal to the control component in time. The control component controls the pipe feeding assembly 20 to stop running, so that the wire tube 80 can stop running in time.

[0061] Specifically, the tube cutting device may include an anvil 61 and a cutter 62, which are arranged opposite to each other. A tube cutting channel is formed between the anvil 61 and the cutter 62 for the wire tube 80 to pass through. The cutter 62 can cut the wire tube 80 that passes through the tube cutting channel.

[0062] Specifically, the camera detection component 70 is disposed on the side wall of the pipe channel 11 and located to the side of the second base plate 19, thereby shortening the distance between the camera detection component 70 and the second base plate 19. This facilitates the camera detection component 70 in detecting the movement of the wire gauge tube 80 at the second base plate 19, improving the detection accuracy of the camera detection component 70. It should be noted that... Figure 8 Taking the shown perspective as an example, the camera detection element 70 can be set only on the groove side wall of the upper side of the second base plate 19 or on the groove side wall of the lower side of the second base plate 19, or the camera detection element 70 can be set on both the groove side wall of the upper side of the second base plate 19 and the groove side wall of the lower side of the second base plate 19.

[0063] Furthermore, the distance between the camera detection component 70 and the top opening of the pipe channel 11 is less than the distance between the camera detection component 70 and the second base plate 19, so that the camera detection component 70 is set closer to the top opening of the pipe channel 11, thereby giving the camera detection component 70 a wider imaging range and thus improving the detection accuracy of the camera detection component 70.

[0064] In one embodiment, the camera detection element 70 is a rotatable camera, which allows the camera portion of the camera detection element 70 to rotate at multiple angles, thereby enabling multi-angle detection and giving the camera detection element 70 a wider field of view.

[0065] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
