DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, and obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0020] A cable production outer sheath printing equipment, as shown in Figures 1-4 The processing platform 1 is internally provided with a left-right transversely penetrating processing cavity, which provides a processing space for the cable to pass through. An upper portion of the processing platform 1 is fixedly provided with a base 2, which is provided with a slot for accommodating a supporting mechanism. In addition, the base 2 is vertically provided with a lifting piece 3 and a sliding block 4 arranged on the lifting piece 3. The sliding block 4 is driven by the lifting piece 3 to reciprocate up and down. In addition, the sliding block 4 is internally provided with a rotary cylinder 5, and a rotating clamping block of the rotary cylinder 5 penetrates out of the sliding block 4. An end portion of the penetrating-out portion is fixedly connected with a mounting plate 6. The mounting plate 6 rotates with the rotation of the rotary cylinder 5, and a nozzle 61 is symmetrically mounted on the mounting plate 6, which is used for printing on the cable outer sheath.
[0021] As shown in Figure 4 The supporting mechanism is composed of a sliding block one 7 and a sliding block two 71, which are respectively slidingly arranged at front and rear sides of the slot of the base 2. An upper portion of the sliding block one 7 is provided with an inclined surface, and a lower portion of the sliding block one 7 is provided with a sawtooth-shaped convex portion. An upper portion of the sliding block two 71 is provided with an inclined surface opposite to the inclined surface of the sliding block one 7, and a lower portion of the sliding block two 71 is provided with a plurality of notches matching the sawtooth-shaped convex portion of the sliding block one 7. The two slidingly contact each other and can stably cooperate with each other. An end of the base 2 is provided with a motor 72, and an output shaft of the motor 72 is directed to the slot side. A gear 74 is fixedly arranged on the output shaft of the motor 72 for power transmission. Two opposite gear racks 73 are respectively arranged at one end of the sliding block one 7 and the sliding block two 71, and the two gear racks 73 are engaged with the gear 74. When the gear 74 is driven by the motor 72 to rotate counterclockwise, the two gear racks 73 will move oppositely, thereby driving the sliding block one 7 and the sliding block two 71 to move oppositely and outwardly in the slot.
[0022] Specifically, when the convex part of the sliding seat one 7 is fully inserted into the gap in the sliding seat two 71, the inclined surfaces on the upper parts of the two will combine to form a horizontal transverse "V"-shaped groove, which is opposite to one side of the nozzle 61 below on the mounting plate 6, and the implementation process of the function of the utility model is as follows: first, the cable is introduced from the left side of the processing platform 1 and is placed on the top of the wire holder 8 from left to right, at this time, the cable will be arranged horizontally on the processing platform, and the cable segment below the nozzle 61 needs to be placed in the groove between the sliding seat one 7 and the sliding seat two 71 to make the cable at the jet printing station be in a relatively flat state through the groove, so as to ensure the effectiveness of jet printing processing, and before the cable is placed, if the inclined surfaces on the sliding seat one 7 and the sliding seat two 71 can support cables of different diameters, the position of the sliding seat one 7 and the sliding seat two 71 can be adjusted by the motor 72 and the gear 74 to drive the rack 73 to push the position of the sliding seat one 7 and the sliding seat two 71, the convex part arranged on the sliding seat one 7 can still support the cable in the sliding seat one 7 and the sliding seat two 71 when it slides forward, and the purposes of arranging the rotary cylinder 5 and the two nozzles 61 facing opposite directions are as follows: when the main nozzle 61 fails, the standby jet printing nozzle 61 is rotated downward by the rotary cylinder 5 to replace the failed nozzle 61 to perform jet printing work, so that the uninterrupted jet printing work is ensured, the production interruption time caused by the failure of the nozzle 61 is reduced, the overall production efficiency is ensured, the economic loss caused by shutdown is effectively avoided, the reliability and stability of the equipment are enhanced.
[0023] wherein, as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the device also includes a cover 9 fixedly arranged on the upper portion of the processing platform 1, which completely covers the upper region of the processing cavity. The cover 9 not only provides additional protection, but also ensures safety and neatness during operation. In addition, a gap is ingeniously provided on the cover 9, which is designed in size and position to ensure that the mounting plate 6 can smoothly pass through during lifting movement without any obstruction. The bombardment head 101 is carefully arranged in the upper left space of the processing cavity. The position and height of the bombardment head 101 are adjusted to ensure that the height is higher than the top height of the wire support 8 and covers the moving path of the cable during processing, avoiding any unnecessary interference between the cable and the bombardment head 101 during passing, and ensuring that the plasma can accurately act on the surface of the cable. Specifically, the plasma part 10 is tightly connected with the bombardment head 101 through a special pipeline, which not only ensures the stable transmission of the plasma, but also ensures the effective use of the plasma during transmission, avoiding energy loss and waste. When the plasma part 10 is started, it will generate a high-energy plasma flow, which will be quickly transmitted to the bombardment head 101 along the pipeline. The bombardment head 101, as the outlet of the plasma, is designed to enable the plasma to be sprayed onto the surface of the cable at a certain speed and angle. When the high-speed and high-energy plasma hits the surface of the cable, it will produce strong physical and chemical effects, thereby roughening the surface of the cable. This roughening process not only improves the adhesion of the cable outer sheath, but also enhances its wear resistance and corrosion resistance, laying a solid foundation for subsequent spray printing process.
[0024] In addition, as Figure 3 As shown, a more stable and flexible connection method is adopted between the mounting plate 6 and the sliding block 4. Specifically, two support blocks 51 are symmetrically arranged on the front portion of the sliding block 4, and a rotating ring 511 is fixedly connected to the rear portion of the mounting plate 6. The rotating ring 511 is in concentric position with the rotating cylinder 5, and the rotating ring 511 is in rotating contact with the two support blocks 51. This connection method not only ensures the stability of the mounting plate 6 during rotation, but also improves the flexibility and smoothness of the rotation of the mounting plate 6.
