Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable production technology, specifically a cable identification automatic printing and labeling integrated machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the optical cable manufacturing process, in order to more easily distinguish different types of optical cables, labels are often affixed to the optical cables for identification. Optical cable labels are usually printed by a printer and then affixed to the optical cable. To improve labeling efficiency, some manufacturers use integrated automatic printing and labeling equipment for optical cable labels.

[0003] In the existing technology, some integrated printing and labeling equipment places the optical cable in a fixed support fixture during operation, and then uses movable mechanical grippers to transport the printed label to one side of the optical cable, and then uses the mechanical grippers to stick the label on the optical cable.

[0004] However, while most integrated fiber optic cable labeling and printing equipment can achieve fully automated operation of the printing and labeling processes, the process of placing the fiber optic cable onto the support clamp generally requires manual operation. In large-scale production, workers need to continuously place the fiber optic cable onto the clamp, then remove it and replace it with another set of fiber optic cables. This long-term operation can easily lead to worker fatigue. Since the mechanical grippers are electrically controlled and their operating speed does not decrease, workers are prone to operational errors due to fatigue, resulting in problems such as inaccurate label application or label detachment. Therefore, an automatic integrated fiber optic cable labeling and printing machine is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model provides an integrated automatic cable label printing and labeling machine, including a printing and labeling body 1; a support clamp 3 is provided on the top of the printing and labeling body 1; a labeling claw 2 is provided on the top of the printing and labeling body 1; a support frame 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the printing and labeling body 1 located at the support clamp 3; a material feeding box 4 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the top of the support frame 5; a cylindrical shell 6 is rotatably connected to the middle of the bottom end of the material feeding box 4; a guide plate 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the material feeding box 4; the bottom end of the guide plate 8 contacts the outer wall of the cylindrical shell 6; a cylinder 64 is fixedly connected to the middle of the cylindrical shell 6; the cylinder 64... 4. Adjusting blocks 65 are slidably connected to the outer wall, and there are multiple sets of them; a cylindrical tube 63 is fixedly connected to the end of the cylinder 64; the outer wall of the end of the cylindrical tube 63 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the end of the cylindrical shell 6; an arc groove 68 is opened on the inner wall of the cylindrical tube 63; a fixing plate 61 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the feeding box 4; an electric telescopic rod 62 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the fixing plate 61; a sliding column 67 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the end of the electric telescopic rod 62; and the sliding column 67 is driven by the electric telescopic rod 62; the top of the sliding column 67 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc groove 68; during operation, a certain number of cables can be placed... Placed inside the feeding box 4, when the cable is placed into the inner wall of the feeding box 4, one cable will fall along the slope of the guide plate 8 into the inner wall of the cylindrical shell 6 and be positioned between multiple sets of adjusting blocks 65. After placement, the electric telescopic rod 62 is activated to move the sliding column 67. The sliding column 67 will slide on the inner wall of the arc groove 68 and drive the cylindrical cylinder 63 to rotate along the arc of the arc groove 68. The cylindrical cylinder 63 will drive the cylindrical shell 6, the cylinder 64 and the adjusting blocks 65 to rotate synchronously. When the sliding column 67 slides from one end of the inner wall of the arc groove 68 to the other end, it can cause the cylindrical shell 6 to rotate half a turn, allowing the cylindrical shell 6 containing the cable to open. With one opening facing downwards, another opening enters the inner wall of the feeding box 4 and takes out a set of cables. The sliding column 67 is driven by the electric telescopic rod 62 to move back and forth on the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 68, which can realize intermittent feeding. The speed of the electric telescopic rod 62 driving the sliding column 67 can be adjusted as needed. This adjustment method is existing technology and is well known to those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail here. The discharged cables will fall to the top of the bracket clamp 3. At this time, the printed labels can be pasted on the outer wall of the cables by the labeling claw 2. The worker only needs to take out the labeled cables, without having to repeatedly replace the processed cables, which greatly improves the convenience of operation.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-6As shown, the cylindrical shell 6 has an arc-shaped through groove 66 on its side wall; the adjusting block 65 has a round rod 651 on its side wall; the round rod 651 is fixed to the side wall of the adjusting block 65 through the arc-shaped through groove 66; a connecting frame 653 is slidably connected to the side wall of the cylindrical shell 6; the outer wall of the round rod 651 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the end of the connecting frame 653; a rectangular groove 69 is formed on the side wall of the cylindrical shell 6; a slider 655 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove 69; a connecting plate 652 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the slider 655; the other end of the connecting plate 652 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting frame 653. During operation, when it is necessary to adjust the spacing of multiple sets of adjusting blocks 65 according to the diameter of the cable, the slider 655 can be pushed, at which time the angle of the connecting plate 652 will... The angle of the connecting plate 652 changes, and one end of the connecting plate 652 rotates with the slider 655, while the other end rotates with the connecting frame 653. At the same time, the connecting frame 653 moves with the angle change of the connecting plate 652, which drives the round rod 651 to move. The round rod 651 slides on the inner wall of the arc-shaped through groove 66 and on the inner wall of the end of the connecting frame 653 to adjust its position. Since the center of the arc-shaped through groove 66 and the cylinder 64 are the same point, the round rod 651 slides on the inner wall of the arc-shaped through groove 66 while driving the adjusting block 65 to slide on the outer wall of the cylinder 64. This allows the distance between multiple sets of adjusting blocks 65 to be adjusted, ensuring that cables of different diameters can be processed, thus improving practicality.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, a baffle 72 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feeding box 4; a connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the baffle 72; a bidirectional threaded rod 71 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the end of the connecting plate 7; a fixing block 73 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the top of the feeding box 4; the bidirectional threaded rod 71 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixing block 73. During operation, some cables may be relatively short. When they are placed inside the feeding box 4, the bidirectional threaded rod 71 can be rotated. At this time, the connecting plate 7 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 71 will drive the baffle 72 to slide on the inner wall of the feeding box 4, and the connecting plate 7 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the other end of the bidirectional threaded rod 71 will also move relative to it. This can limit the two ends of the cable, ensure the centering of the cable when it is discharged, and improve its practicality.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, a rod 654 is slidably connected to the middle of the slider 655; a groove 610 is formed on the inner wall of the rectangular groove 69; the rod 654 is inserted into the inner wall of the groove 610. During operation, by inserting the rod 654 into the inner wall of the groove 610, the stability of the slider 655 when not in use can be ensured. When it is necessary to push the slider 655, the rod 654 can be pulled directly to disengage it from the inner wall of the groove 610, which is quick and convenient.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, a spring 656 is sleeved on the outer wall of the insertion rod 654; one end of the spring 656 is fixed to the side wall of the slider 655; the other end of the spring 656 is fixed to the side wall of the insertion rod 654. During operation, the slider 655, through its own elasticity, can improve the stability of the insertion rod 654 inserted into the groove 610. When the insertion rod 654 is pulled, it will cause the spring 656 to stretch and deform. When the insertion rod 654 is released, the spring 656 will cause the insertion rod 654 to quickly return to its original position through its own elasticity, thus improving practicality.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the top of the bracket clamp 3 is symmetrically fixed with inclined plates 31. During operation, the inclined plates 31 ensure that if the cable deviates during the process of falling to the top of the bracket clamp 3, it will be caught by the inclined plates 31 and roll down to the center position of the top of the bracket clamp 3 along the slope of the inclined plates 31, which improves practicality.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figures 5-6 As shown, multiple sets of connecting plates 652 and connecting frames 653 are provided, and the multiple sets of connecting plates 652 and connecting frames 653 are symmetrically arranged with the center line of slider 655 as the axis of symmetry. During operation, the size of the two sets of openings of cylindrical shell 6 can be adjusted simultaneously through the multiple sets of connecting plates 652 and connecting frames 653, and the consistency of the size is ensured, which improves practicality.

[0034] Working principle: A certain number of cables can be placed inside the feeding box 4. When the cables are placed inside the feeding box 4, one cable will fall along the slope of the guide plate 8 into the inner wall of the cylindrical shell 6 and be positioned between multiple sets of adjusting blocks 65. After placement, the electric telescopic rod 62 is activated to move the sliding column 67. The sliding column 67 will slide on the inner wall of the arc groove 68 and drive the cylindrical cylinder 63 to rotate along the arc of the arc groove 68. The cylindrical cylinder 63 will drive the cylindrical shell 6, the cylinder 64 and the adjusting blocks 65 to rotate synchronously, while the sliding column 67 slides from one end of the inner wall of the arc groove 68 to the other end. When one end is open, the cylindrical shell 6 can be rotated half a turn so that the opening of the cylindrical shell 6 containing the cable faces downwards, and the other opening enters the inner wall of the feeding box 4 to take out a set of cables. The sliding column 67 is driven by the electric telescopic rod 62 to move back and forth on the inner wall of the arc groove 68, so as to realize intermittent feeding. The speed of the electric telescopic rod 62 driving the sliding column 67 can be adjusted as needed. This adjustment method is existing technology and is well known to those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail here. The discharged cables will fall to the top of the bracket clamp 3. At this time, the printed labels can be pasted on the outer wall of the cables by the labeling claw 2.

[0035] When the spacing of multiple adjusting blocks 65 needs to be adjusted according to the diameter of the cable, the slider 655 can be pushed. At this time, the angle of the connecting plate 652 will change, and one end of the connecting plate 652 will rotate with the slider 655, while the other end will rotate with the connecting frame 653. At the same time, the connecting frame 653 will move with the change in the angle of the connecting plate 652. The connecting frame 653 will drive the round rod 651 to move. The round rod 651 will slide on the inner wall of the arc-shaped through groove 66 and simultaneously slide on the inner wall of the end of the connecting frame 653 to adjust its position. Since the center of the arc-shaped through groove 66 and the cylinder 64 are the same point, the round rod 651 will drive the adjusting blocks 65 to slide on the outer wall of the cylinder 64 while sliding on the inner wall of the arc-shaped through groove 66. In this way, the distance between multiple adjusting blocks 65 can be adjusted, ensuring that cables of different diameters can be processed, thus improving practicality.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
