Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of profile steel processing equipment, specifically to a profile steel marking device. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern steel profile manufacturing industry, clear and accurate marking of steel profiles is a key step in the production process. The marked specifications, models, production batches, and other information are crucial for subsequent quality traceability, warehousing management, and usage.

[0003] Currently, most steel section marking devices on the market are portable. Due to the weight and inconvenience of moving steel sections, workers must carry these portable devices back and forth between numerous steel sections to be marked during actual production. This method has significant drawbacks. When faced with large-volume steel section marking tasks, workers must repeatedly carry the marking device for extended periods, easily leading to exhaustion and a significant decrease in work efficiency. Furthermore, fatigue can cause marking errors. Simultaneously, portable marking devices are limited by worker physical strength, making efficient continuous operation difficult and failing to meet the demands of modern large-scale production. Therefore, existing steel section marking technology faces pressing technical problems, necessitating the development of a new steel section marking device that overcomes these shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is how to solve the problem that workers cannot move the marking device flexibly when marking steel profiles.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a steel section marking device, including a frame, the frame including a support plate and columns arranged at the four corners of the support plate, the support plate having two layers, respectively located at the top and bottom of the columns, universal wheels are provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the support plate at the bottom of the columns, and two stop bars are provided on the support plate at the top of the columns, the stop bars being arranged at both ends of the top support plate, an air compressor, a cylinder and an ink tank are arranged on the support plate at the bottom of the columns, and a portable computer and a combined marking mechanism are arranged on the support plate at the top of the columns, the components being connected by pipes and cables, the combined marking device including a coding machine and an inkjet printer.

[0006] The above structure has the following beneficial effects:

[0007] By arranging upper and lower support plates and installing columns at the four corners of the support plates, the entire device structure is stable and has a strong load-bearing capacity, facilitating the orderly arrangement of various components. The support plates at the bottom of the columns are equipped with casters at the four corners, making the entire device flexible and convenient to move. This allows workers to easily move the marking device between various steel sections, greatly improving on-site work efficiency and effectively reducing the labor intensity of workers. Two stop bars are installed on the support plate at the top of the columns, located at both ends of the support plate. These not only effectively prevent components placed on the support plate from slipping but also serve as handholds for workers to push or pull the device, improving the ease of movement and human-machine interface. The air compressor, cylinder, and ink tank are arranged on the bottom support plate, while the portable computer and combined marking mechanism are arranged on the top support plate. This layout facilitates later maintenance and repair of components, clarifies the connection methods between components, ensures the reliability of power transmission and signal transmission, and provides a fundamental guarantee for the overall operation of the equipment.

[0008] Preferably, the support plate is provided with a fence. The fence on the support plate at the top of the column is located between the two stops, and only one side of the fence is provided. The fence on the support plate at the bottom of the column is provided around the three sides of the support plate to form a three-sided enclosure structure. The side of the two support plates where the fence is not provided is used for the opening for taking and placing the component.

[0009] By installing railings on the two support plates and adopting a design without railings on one side, the items placed on the support plates can be blocked by the railings, while also providing staff with an unobstructed passage for picking up and putting down items, effectively improving the work efficiency of the staff.

[0010] Preferably, the frame is provided with shelves on both sides, and the shelves include multiple fixing rods.

[0011] By setting up storage racks on both sides of the frame and installing multiple fixing rods on the racks, excess pipes and cables during the operation of the marking device can be neatly wrapped and stored, avoiding safety hazards caused by messy cables, and also facilitating the movement and storage of the marking device.

[0012] Preferably, a baffle is provided at the end of the fixing rod away from the frame.

[0013] By installing baffles at the ends of the fixing rods, tangled pipes and cables can be effectively prevented from slipping off accidentally, ensuring the stability and reliability of storage.

[0014] Preferably, the surface of the fixing rod is provided with anti-slip threads.

[0015] By adding anti-slip threads to the surface of the fixing rod, the friction between the fixing rod surface and the pipes and cables can be effectively increased, further preventing the pipes and cables from loosening, and especially maintaining the stability of the stored state during the movement of the device.

[0016] Preferably, a connecting mechanism is provided between the coding machine and the inkjet printer. The connecting mechanism includes a fixed frame, a first sliding rod, a first slider, a second sliding rod, and a second slider. The fixed frame is connected to the coding machine. The fixed frame is provided with a sliding groove. The sliding groove is slidably connected to the first sliding rod. There are two first sliding rods, located at both ends of the sliding groove. The first sliding rod is connected to the first slider. Both ends of the first slider are connected to the two first sliding rods. The first slider is connected to the second sliding rod. The second sliding rod is connected to the second slider. The second slider is connected to the inkjet printer.

[0017] The combination of the marking machine and the inkjet printer is achieved through a connecting mechanism, which allows for flexible switching or simultaneous use of both marking methods according to different marking needs, such as depth marking or surface marking, thus expanding the equipment's functionality. Through the multi-stage sliding connection between the fixed frame slide groove and the first sliding rod, the first slider and the second sliding rod, and the second slider and the inkjet printer, the inkjet printer can be adjusted in multiple directions in the vertical and horizontal directions to adapt to marking needs of different sizes and positions.

[0018] Preferably, the first sliding rod has a groove, and the second sliding rod has a boss, the boss cooperating with the groove.

[0019] The rotating connection between the groove and the boss allows the second sliding rod to rotate around the axis to a horizontal position, facilitating the storage of the inkjet printer and preventing the second sliding rod from being too high and affecting the storage of the device.

[0020] Preferably, a limiting post is provided on the side of the second sliding rod near the second slider.

[0021] By setting a limiting post on the second sliding rod, a physical stop point is formed on the rotation path of the second sliding rod, thus preventing excessive rotation of the second sliding rod.

[0022] Preferably, the second sliding rod has through holes on both sides, and a locking knob that passes through the through hole and is connected to the second slider.

[0023] The design of the through hole and locking knob allows the second slider to be locked at any position of the second sliding rod, ensuring the stability of the inkjet printer's position during marking and improving marking accuracy and consistency. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Example

[0035] The following description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides further details. Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment is a steel marking device, including a frame 1. The frame 1 includes a support plate 101, columns 102, stop bars 103, and railings 104. The support plate is configured as a two-layer structure, and columns 102 are vertically fixedly connected to the four corners of the support plate 101. In order to prevent items placed on the support plate 101 from falling accidentally, railings 104 are provided at the edge of the support plate 101. At the same time, a stop bar 103 is also provided on the support plate 101 at the top of the column 102. The stop bar 103 can not only limit the items placed on the support plate 101 at the top of the column 102, but also serve as a handle for the operator when moving the frame 1, making it convenient to move and operate. Furthermore, there are no railings 104 on one side of the two support plates 101, which makes it convenient for the operator to pick up and put down items.

[0036] An air compressor 3, a cylinder 4, and an ink tank 5 are arranged on the bottom support plate 101, while a portable computer 6 and a combined marking mechanism 7 are arranged on the top support plate 101. The air compressor 3, cylinder 4, ink tank 5, combined marking mechanism 7, and portable computer are connected by pipes and cables to realize power transmission and signal transmission between the components. The air outlet of the air compressor 3 is connected to the air inlet of the cylinder 4 through a pressure-resistant hose. The pipe is equipped with a pressure regulating valve and a solenoid valve for precise control of the operating pressure and start / stop of the cylinder 4. The ink tank 5 is connected to the inkjet printer 702 through a corrosion-resistant infusion pipe. The infusion pipe is equipped with a miniature peristaltic pump and a filter to ensure stable and impurity-free inkjet printing liquid delivery.

[0037] By inputting the required marking information, such as letters and numbers, into a portable computer, the signal is transmitted to the combined marking mechanism 7, thereby realizing the marking operation on the steel profile. In order to achieve orderly storage of excess pipes and cables, shelves 2 are set on both sides of the frame 1, and multiple fixing rods 201 are provided on the shelves 2. A baffle 202 is provided at the end of the fixing rod 201 away from the shelf 2. The baffle 202 can effectively prevent the pipes and cables wrapped on the fixing rod 201 from falling off, ensuring that the cables and pipes are neatly stored.

[0038] To facilitate the movement of the marking device, casters 9 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the support plate 101. The casters 9 are heavy-duty casters with a braking mechanism. The braking mechanism adopts a foot-operated locking structure, which locks the device by friction between the brake pad and the wheel surface, ensuring that the device is reliably fixed in position during operation.

[0039] The combined marking mechanism 7 includes a marking machine 701 and a coding machine 702. A connecting mechanism 8 is provided between the marking machine 701 and the coding machine 702. The connecting mechanism 8 includes a fixed frame 801, a first sliding rod 802, a first slider 803, a second sliding rod 804, a second slider 805, and a locking knob 806. The fixed frame 801 is fixedly connected to the top of the coding machine by bolts. A groove is provided on the fixed frame 801, and two first sliding rods 802 are slidably connected in the groove. The two first sliding rods 802 are respectively located on both sides of the groove. A first slider 803 is slidably connected to the first sliding rods 802, and both ends of the first slider 803 are slidably connected to the two first sliding rods 802 respectively. A second sliding rod 804 is connected to the side of the first slider 803 away from the first sliding rod 802. In order to enable the second sliding rod 804 to rotate to a horizontal position, a groove 8031 ​​is provided on the first sliding rod 802. The second sliding rod 804 is provided with a boss 8041. By connecting the boss 8041 with the groove 8031, the second sliding rod 804 can rotate around the groove 8031 ​​as the rotation center. In order to prevent the second sliding rod 804 from rotating further after reaching the horizontal position, a limiting post 8042 is also provided on the side of the second sliding rod 804 with the boss 8041, respectively located at the edge of the side of the second sliding rod 804. A second slider 805 is slidably connected to the second sliding rod 804, and an inkjet printer 702 is fixedly connected to the second slider 805. In order to lock the second slider 805 after it slides to a designated position, through holes 8042 are provided on both sides of the second sliding rod 804, and locking knobs 806 are provided. By tightening the locking knobs 806, the second slider 805 can be locked, thereby fixing the position of the inkjet printer 702 and meeting the adjustment requirements of the position of the inkjet printer 702 for different marking needs.

[0040] The surface of the fixing rod 201 of the shelf 2 is provided with anti-slip threads to increase friction when pipes and cables are wrapped, and to prevent loosening.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] When marking is required on steel profiles, the operator can move the steel profile marking device to a suitable working position, then step on the brake of the universal wheel 9 to fix the position of the steel profile marking device. Next, connect the power supply to the equipment that requires power, and then turn on the portable computer to input the alphanumeric marking information to be marked. This information is then transmitted to the combined marking mechanism 7. At this time, the air compressor 3 starts, and the generated compressed air is delivered to the cylinder 4 through the pipeline. The pressure regulating valve and solenoid valve on the pipeline play their role, precisely controlling the operating pressure and start and stop of the cylinder 4, providing power support for the marking machine 701. At the same time, the inkjet ink in the ink tank 5 is delivered to the inkjet printer 702 through the pipeline under the action of the micro peristaltic pump.

[0043] Move the combined marking mechanism 7 to the desired marking position on the steel profile, adjust the position of the inkjet printer 702 so that it moves vertically along the second sliding rod 804, and then move the first slider 803 connected to the second sliding rod 804 along the first sliding rod 802. After adjusting to the appropriate position, lock the second slider 805 by the locking knob 806, thereby fixing the position of the inkjet printer 702. Then mark and print on the steel profile. If the required printing position is not the same as the marking position, the inkjet printer 702 can be moved upward along the second sliding rod 804 until the inkjet printer 702 is removed from the second sliding rod 804. Then move the inkjet printer 702 to the desired printing position for printing.

[0044] Excess pipes and cables can be wrapped around the fixing rods 201 of the shelves 2 on both sides of the rack 1. The anti-slip threads on the surface of the fixing rods 201 increase friction to prevent loosening, and the baffles 202 at the ends of the fixing rods 201 prevent pipes and cables from falling off, thus achieving orderly storage of cables and pipes.
