Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rubber hose production technology, specifically a numbering printer used in rubber hose production. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of rubber hoses, it is usually necessary to print identification numbers, batch numbers, and other markings on the surface of the rubber hoses to facilitate product identification, quality tracking, and management. Traditional printing methods often use manual or semi-automatic equipment, which suffers from problems such as inaccurate printing positions, uneven ink distribution, and easy smudging. Especially in continuous production, because the surface of the rubber hose is soft and easily deformed, conventional guiding and conveying mechanisms are prone to contact with the undried printing surface, resulting in blurred, contaminated, or damaged printed codes, seriously affecting product quality and production efficiency.
[0003] To address the above problems, an improved numbering printer for rubber hose production is now designed. Utility Model Content

A placement rod for placing the rubber tube roll is installed at the output end of the damper. A stepper motor is horizontally installed on the inner wall of the support frame on the side of the fixed plate away from the damper. A winding rod for winding the printed rubber tube is installed at the output end of the stepper motor.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: a connecting rod is vertically installed on the top of the bracket on the side of the cylinder away from the damper, and a dryer for drying the code on the rubber tube is installed at the lower end of the connecting rod.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the ink supply mechanism includes an ink tank, which is mounted on the upper end of a bracket. A water pump is installed at the lower end of the side wall of the ink tank. The output end of the water pump is located at the bottom of the ink tank. A delivery pipe is installed at the output end of the water pump. A delivery coil is installed at the end of the delivery pipe away from the water pump, passing through the side wall of the printing box. The shape of the delivery coil is the same as that of the numbering template. Nozzles for spraying ink onto the numbering template are evenly distributed at the lower end of the delivery coil.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: a triangular rib plate for supporting the fixed plate is installed on the inner wall of the support frame at the lower end of the fixed plate.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a numbering printer for rubber tube production includes a support frame 1. A fixing plate 3 is horizontally installed at the center of the upper end of the support frame 1. A bracket 8 is installed on the upper side wall of the support frame 1 near the fixing plate 3. A cylinder 10 is vertically installed on the top of the bracket 8. A printing box 2 is installed at the output end of the cylinder 10. A numbering template 16 for printing numbers onto the rubber tube is installed at the lower end of the printing box 2. Conveying mechanisms for conveying the rubber tube are provided on both sides of the fixing plate 3. An ink feeding mechanism for spraying ink from the numbering template 16 inside the printing box 2 is provided on the bracket 8.
[0022] The conveying mechanism includes two guide wheels 13, which are respectively installed on the inner walls of the support frames 1 at both ends of the fixed plate 3. A damper 14 is horizontally installed on the inner wall of the support frame 1 on one side of the fixed plate 3. A placement rod 15 for placing rubber tube rolls is installed at the output end of the damper 14. A stepper motor 6 is horizontally installed on the inner wall of the support frame 1 on the side of the fixed plate 3 away from the damper 14. A winding rod 5 for winding the printed rubber tubes is installed at the output end of the stepper motor 6.
[0023] A connecting rod 7 is vertically mounted on the top of the bracket 8 on the side of the cylinder 10 away from the damper 14, and a dryer 4 for drying the code on the rubber tube is mounted on the lower end of the connecting rod 7.
[0024] The ink supply mechanism includes an ink tank 9, which is mounted on the upper end of a bracket 8. A water pump 11 is installed on the lower end of the side wall of the ink tank 9. The output end of the water pump 11 is located at the bottom of the ink tank 9. A delivery pipe 12 is installed on the output end of the water pump 11. The end of the delivery pipe 12 away from the water pump 11 passes through the side wall of the printing box 2 and is fitted with a delivery coil 17. The shape of the delivery coil 17 is the same as that of the numbering template 16. Nozzles 18 for spraying ink onto the numbering template 16 are evenly distributed at the lower end of the delivery coil 17.
[0025] After the printing box 2 moves up and down once, the water pump 11 is started. The water pump 11 draws out the ink from the ink tank 9 and then delivers the ink through the delivery pipe 12 to the delivery coil 17 and the print head 18. The print head 18 sprays the ink onto the numbering template 16.
[0026] The working principle of a numbering printer used in rubber hose production:
[0027] In use, the rubber tube roll to be printed is installed on the placement rod 15, and then the rubber tube roll is passed through the upper ends of the two guide wheels 13 and fixed on the winding rod 5.
[0028] During printing, the stepper motor 6 is started, and the output end of the stepper motor 6 drives the winding rod 5 to rotate. The winding rod 5 winds up the rubber tube. Due to the resistance of the damper 14, the rubber tube will be tightened. Once the stepper motor 6 winds up the rubber tube, the cylinder 10 is activated to extend and retract once. The output end of the cylinder 10 drives the printing box 2 to move, and the printing box 2 drives the numbering template 16 to move, so that the numbering template 16 encodes and prints on the rubber tube.
[0029] After the printing box 2 moves up and down once, the water pump 11 is started. The water pump 11 draws out the ink from the ink tank 9 and then delivers the ink to the delivery coil 17 and the nozzle 18 through the delivery pipe 12. The nozzle 18 sprays the ink onto the numbering template 16.
[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
