Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable production and processing technology, specifically to a printing machine with rapid air drying function. Background Technology

[0002] A wire marking printer, also known as a cable marking machine, comes in many types: wire marking printers, label printers, sign printers, inkjet printers, etc. It is widely used in the marking fields of industries such as switches, locomotives, machine tools, power, telecommunications, and steel. Its full name is cable marking printer, also called a wire marking machine or marking machine. It uses thermal transfer printing technology, and the printing accuracy can reach 300dpi. It can print on PVC tubing, heat shrink tubing, PET labels, 4mm marking strips, signs, tags, terminal markings, and other materials. Marking is quick and convenient. The printer has a built-in keyboard and LED display screen, making it an essential piece of equipment for testing, production, repair, and maintenance. Compact and lightweight, it is available in various models and easily marks various cables, pipes, components, and cabinets.

[0003] The production and processing of cables typically involves multiple processes, including wire drawing, stranding, insulation extrusion, cabling, sheath extrusion, shielding and armoring, testing, packaging and warehousing. Among these processes, after the sheath extrusion is completed, a cable printing machine is used to print relevant product information, such as model number, specifications, brand trademark, etc., on the outer surface of the protective sheath extruded outside the wire core.

[0004] However, existing technologies lack a tension adjustment mechanism, making it difficult to adjust the cable tension. This causes the cable to easily loosen, wobble, slip, or shift during printing, potentially leading to misalignment and affecting printing quality and product yield. To address this deficiency in existing technologies, this application uses limiting wheels and positioning blocks to clamp both ends of the cable's printing area, ensuring the printing area is relatively taut and improving printing quality. Therefore, a new solution is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , 2 3, 4, 5, This utility model discloses a printing machine with rapid air drying capability, comprising a base plate 1, a base frame 2 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 1, a limiting wheel 3 rotatably connected to both ends of the base frame 2, a positioning block 4 slidably connected to both ends of the base frame 2, the two positioning blocks 4 being symmetrically installed, a first drive rod 5 rotatably connected inside the base frame 2, the outer surface of the first drive rod 5 having a bidirectional thread, a first gear 6 fixedly connected to the middle section of the first drive rod 5, the first gear 6 being a bevel gear, and a support fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. The frame 7 has two support wheels 8 rotatably mounted. Each positioning block 4 corresponds to a limiting wheel 3. The interior of each positioning block 4 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the first drive rod 5, so that the cable passes through the two sets of positioning blocks 4 and the limiting wheel 3 in sequence and is placed inside the grooves of the two support wheels 8. The first drive rod 5 is rotated, and the first drive rod 5 drives the two positioning blocks 4 to slide, so that the positioning blocks 4 and the limiting wheel 3 respectively clamp one end of the cable, so that the part of the cable between the two support wheels 8 is in a relatively tight state.

[0025] A support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the middle section of the base frame 2. A second gear 10 is rotatably connected to the back of the support plate 9. The second gear 10 is a bevel gear and meshes with the first gear 6. A rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the front of the support plate 9 and is fixedly connected to the second gear 10.

[0026] A support column 11 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 1. A printing device 12 is set above the support frame 7. The support column 11 supports the printing device 12. The printing device 12 is an existing printing equipment. The printing device 12 prints words on the outer surface of the cable through its own inkjet head.

[0027] The support column 11 is internally rotatably connected to a second drive rod 13, and the outer surface of the second drive rod 13 is threadedly connected to a drive block 14. A rotating wheel is fixedly installed at the top of the second drive rod 13. The drive block 14 is fixedly connected to the printing device 12 and slidably connected to the support column 11. The second drive rod 13 adjusts the height of the printing device 12 through the drive block 14, thereby adjusting the distance between the inkjet head and the outer surface of the cable.

[0028] A support shell 15 is provided above the support frame 7. A nozzle 16 is fixedly installed inside the support shell 15. A fan is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 1. The nozzle 16 is connected to the output end of the fan through a hose. When the fan is started, the output end of the fan blows air onto the printed area of ​​the cable through the nozzle 16, thereby accelerating the drying process.

[0029] A support plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the printing device 12. A motor is fixedly installed on the lower side of the support plate 17. A brush wheel 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The support plate 17 is fixedly connected to the support shell 15. The brush wheel 18 is rotatably connected to the inside of the support shell 15. The brush wheel 18 is used to scrape and clean the outer surface of the cable.

[0030] Two limiting rods 19 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. The two limiting rods 19 are installed symmetrically. The outer surface of each limiting rod 19 is slidably connected to both ends of the support plate 17. The limiting rods 19 play a supporting and limiting role for the support plate 17 and other components.

[0031] The implementation principle is as follows: the cable passes sequentially between two sets of positioning blocks 4 and limiting wheels 3, and is placed inside the grooves of two support wheels 8. The left end of the cable is fixed to the traction mechanism of the subsequent process. The second gear 10 is rotated by the rotating wheel, which drives the first gear 6 to rotate. The first gear 6 drives the first drive rod 5 to rotate, and the first drive rod 5 drives the positioning block 4 to slide, so that the positioning block 4 clamps the two ends of the cable through the limiting wheels 3. The second drive rod 13 is rotated, which drives the drive block 14 to move up and down. The drive block 14 drives the printing device 12 and other components to move up and down to the appropriate position. The motor is started, and the output end of the motor drives the brush wheel 18 to rotate, which scrapes the outer surface of the cable. The printing device 12 and the fan are started. The inkjet head of the printing device 12 prints on the outer surface of the cable, and the nozzle 16 blows air on the printed area to speed up the drying.

[0032] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art.
