[0002] A wire marking printer, also known as a wire marking machine or wire numbering machine, or simply a wire marking machine or cable marking printer, uses thermal transfer printing technology. It achieves a printing accuracy of 300 dots per inch (dpi) and can print characters on materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubing, heat shrink tubing, and self-adhesive labels. It is generally used for secondary wire marking in electrical control and distribution equipment. It is a dedicated device for marking wiring in electrical control and distribution equipment and integrated cabling projects, meeting the needs of power plants, electrical equipment factories, substations, and the power industry for distinguishing and marking wires.
[0003] However, when installing the pressure tube bracket module on existing line number printers, the access point for the shaft insertion inside the housing is small, and it is difficult to align the holes when inserting small shafts at both ends. It is even more inconvenient to insert the shaft after installing the flip cover torsion spring. In addition, the design of the shaft hole mold in the middle housing is complicated and the mold cost is high.
[0004] In summary, existing wire marking machines suffer from technical problems such as inconvenient installation and high mold costs. Utility Model Content

[0030] This application addresses the shortcomings of existing methods by proposing a pipe pressing device and wire marking machine to solve the technical problems of inconvenient installation and high mold costs in the prior art.
[0031] Firstly, embodiments of this application provide a pipe clamping device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a pipe clamping device in an embodiment of this application;Figure 2 This is a side view of a pipe clamping device according to an embodiment of this application.
[0032] The tube pressing device includes an upper tube pressing bracket 1, a connecting shaft 2, a flip-top torsion spring 3, and a base 4.
[0033] The upper pressure pipe support 1 includes a cover 11 and a connecting part 12 connected to each other, and the connecting part 12 has a through hole;
[0034] Connecting shaft 2, the connecting shaft 2 passing through the through hole;
[0035] A flip-top torsion spring 3 is connected to the cover body 11 and the connecting shaft 2 respectively;
[0036] The base 4 has a sliding groove, and the upper pressure tube bracket 1 is slidably connected to the sliding groove.
[0037] In this embodiment, a connecting shaft 2 is inserted into the upper pressure tube bracket 1, and a flip-cover torsion spring 3 is sleeved around the connecting shaft 2. The entire assembly is then slid into place on the base 4. This ensures the coaxiality of the upper pressure tube bracket 1 and the connecting shaft 2, and also allows for easy and convenient installation. Compared with the prior art, this embodiment integrates the upper pressure tube bracket 1, the connecting shaft 2, and the flip-cover torsion spring 3 into a single module, and then installs the entire module onto the base 4. This makes the operation simple and convenient. The middle shell mold is omitted, and the sliding groove structure mold is inserted vertically, resulting in a simple structure and controllable cost.
[0038] In some embodiments of this application, a limiting cover plate 5 is also included, wherein the groove of the base 4 has a mounting hole, and the limiting cover plate 5 is embedded in the mounting hole.
[0039] In some embodiments of this application, there is a gap between the limiting cover plate 5 and the base 4, the inner contour of the gap matches the outer contour of the connecting shaft 2, and the connecting shaft 2 is located in the gap between the limiting cover plate 5 and the base 4.
[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the sliding direction of the upper pressure tube bracket 1 is perpendicular to the embedding direction of the limiting cover plate 5.
[0041] In this embodiment, after the connecting shaft 2 is inserted into the upper pressure tube bracket 1, the upper pressure tube bracket 1 is then placed into the slide groove of the base 4. The slide groove of the base 4 has a bottom surface and two oppositely arranged side surfaces. The bottom surface constrains the Z-axis direction of the upper pressure tube bracket 1, and the two side surfaces constrain the Y-axis direction of the upper pressure tube bracket 1. The upper pressure tube bracket 1 can slide in the slide groove along the X-axis direction.
[0042] The limiting cover plate 5 is connected to the base 4. The limiting cover plate 5 has retaining walls at both ends. The retaining walls can limit the X-axis direction of the connecting shaft 2, thereby completing the fixation of the upper pressure pipe bracket 1 in the three-axis direction.
[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the cover 11 at least partially covers the base 4, and the connecting part 12 includes at least two connecting feet, which are respectively located at both ends of the cover 11.
[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting feet at both ends each have a through hole, the two through holes are coaxial, and the diameter of the through hole is equal to the diameter of the connecting shaft 2.
[0045] In this embodiment, the cover plate is connected with multiple connecting feet, each of which has a through hole, and the connecting shaft 2 passes through all the through holes to complete the connection.
[0046] In some embodiments of this application, one end of the connecting foot has the through hole, and the other end of the connecting foot is closed, wherein the diameter of the through hole is equal to the diameter of the connecting shaft 2.
[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the diameter of the connecting shaft 2 is equal at all positions.
[0048] Based on the above embodiments, in order to prevent relative movement between the upper pressure tube bracket 1 and the connecting shaft 2 after the upper pressure tube bracket 1 is limited, one of the outermost connecting feet among the multiple connecting feet is closed. The closed connecting foot plays the role of limiting the connecting shaft 2 and preventing the connecting shaft 2 from sliding or coming off.
[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the flip cover torsion spring 3 includes a main body and an extension end connected to each other, the cover 11 has a limiting groove on the side facing the base 4, the main body is spirally sleeved around the connecting shaft 2, and the extension end is embedded in the limiting groove.
[0050] In this embodiment, the flip-top torsion spring 3 is a mechanical spring used to store and release energy under torsional or rotational forces. It is made of an elastic metal, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, or a special alloy, which possesses good elasticity and durability. The flip-top torsion spring 3 is helical, with its main body fixed to the connecting shaft 2, and its other end hook-shaped and embedded in a limiting groove to withstand torsional forces.
[0051] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a wire marking machine, including a tube pressing device as described in any embodiment of the first aspect.
[0052] Compared with the prior art, the application of the embodiments of this application can achieve at least the following beneficial effects: The embodiments of this application insert a connecting shaft 2 into the upper pressure tube bracket 1, and a flip-cover torsion spring 3 is sleeved on the periphery of the connecting shaft 2. Then, the whole assembly slides into the base 4, which not only ensures the coaxiality of the upper pressure tube bracket 1 and the connecting shaft 2, but also makes the installation easy and convenient. Compared with the prior art, this embodiment integrates the upper pressure tube bracket 1, the connecting shaft 2 and the flip-cover torsion spring 3 into a module, and then installs the whole module on the base 4, which is simple and convenient to operate; the middle shell mold is omitted, and the sliding groove structure mold is inserted from the top and bottom, which makes the structure simple and the cost controllable.
