[0002] A cable is an electrical product used to transmit and distribute electrical energy. It consists of at least two conductors (usually copper or aluminum), insulation material, a sheath, and other auxiliary materials. After the cable is manufactured, for ease of sale and identification, laser marking machines are typically used to print the model number, specifications, and other markings on the outer sheath of the cable.

[0003] When laser printers print text on the outer sheath of cables, they generate a significant amount of smoke and dust, which disperses throughout the workshop, reducing air quality and impacting workers' work. Furthermore, the laser printer produces glaring light, which can adversely affect workers' eyes and hinder nearby workers. Therefore, to address these issues, we have designed a laser printer structure that protects against light and smoke. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-6A light-proof and smoke-proof structure for a printing machine includes a fixed plate 1. A light shield 2 is fixed to the side of the fixed plate 1. An opening 7 is opened on the top of the light shield 2. Through openings 8 are opened on both side walls of the light shield 2. A laser printing machine 4 is also installed on the top of the fixed plate 1 via a fixing block. The emitting end of the laser printing machine 4 extends into the light shield 2 through the opening 7. An opening 11 is opened on the front of the fixed plate 1 and inside the light shield 2. A smoke hood 12 is fixed on the back of the fixed plate 1 and at the position corresponding to the opening 11. A guide pipe 13 is connected to one side of the smoke hood 12. A smoke extraction machine 14 is connected to the end of the guide pipe 13 away from the smoke hood 12. The bottom of the fixed plate 1 is fixed. A support plate 3 is provided, and a smoke extraction machine 14 is installed on top of the support plate 3. The smoke extraction machine 14 can be a fan or an air purifier. When the smoke extraction machine 14 is a fan, a pipe can be connected to the air outlet of the smoke extraction machine 14 to transport the smoke and dust. This allows for the unified treatment of smoke and dust extracted by multiple smoke extraction machines 14. When the smoke extraction machine 14 is an air purifier, the purified smoke and dust can be directly discharged into the workshop. The specific type of smoke extraction machine 14 used can be selected according to the specific situation. Adjustment grooves 5 are provided on the front of the fixed plate 1 and on both sides of the light shield 2. Each adjustment groove 5 is equipped with a guide wheel assembly 6.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, a door panel 9 is hinged to the front opening of the light shield 2, and a handle 10 is fixed on the door panel 9. The opening 7 at the top of the light shield 2 is rectangular. Both the light shield 2 and the door panel 9 are made of black plastic.

[0027] Specifically, by setting a door panel 9 at the front opening of the light shield 2, the door panel 9 can be easily opened using the handle 10, making it convenient to arrange the cables that need to be printed. The position of the opening 7 is directly opposite the cable inside the light shield 2, so that the emitter of the laser printer 4 can easily pass through the opening 7 and print on the cable. Both the light shield 2 and the door panel 9 are made of black plastic, which can ensure the light-blocking effect and avoid affecting the eyes of nearby workers.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, both the second opening 11 and the smoking hood 12 are designed as rectangular structures. The second opening 11 is close to the inner top wall of the light shield 2 and is positioned higher than the through opening 8. The through opening 8 is designed as a circular structure.

[0029] Specifically, both the second opening 11 and the fume hood 12 are designed as rectangular structures, which can enlarge the aperture for extracting smoke and dust, thus facilitating the rapid extraction of smoke and dust from inside the hood 2 and preventing smoke and dust from directly spreading inside the workshop and affecting the environment. The position of the second opening 11 is higher than that of the through opening 8, which allows the second opening 11 to be higher than the passing cable, thus achieving a better smoke and dust extraction effect.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the guide wheel assembly 6 includes a fixed rod 601, a guide wheel 602, and a threaded rod 603. The guide wheel 602 is rotatably connected to the fixed rod 601 via a bearing. The threaded rod 603 is fixed to one end of the fixed rod 601, and the end of the threaded rod 603 away from the fixed rod 601 extends into the adjustment groove 5. A fastening nut 604 is threaded onto the threaded rod 603, and the guide wheel assembly 6 is fixed to the fixed plate 1 by the fastening nut 604.

[0031] Specifically, when the cable passes between the two guide wheels 602 in the same adjustment groove 5, the two guide wheels 602 can clamp the cable to a certain extent, serving both a guiding purpose and a supporting purpose. The rotation of the guide wheels 602 on the fixed rod 601 facilitates the movement of the cable and ensures stability. Through the designed fastening nut 604 and threaded rod 603, the distance between the two guide wheel assemblies 6 can be adjusted in the adjustment groove 5, thereby facilitating the support and stability of cables of different specifications and improving applicability.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, a rectangular rubber damping ring 901 is fixed to the inner side of the door panel 9, and the rubber damping ring 901 is attached to the inner wall of the front opening of the light shield 2. A magnet 2 16 is fixed to the bottom of the inner side of the door panel 9, and a magnet 15 is fixed to the bottom of the front of the light shield 2. When the door panel 9 covers the opening on the front of the light shield 2, the magnet 15 and the magnet 2 16 are attracted together.

[0033] Specifically, the door panel 9 is connected to the sunshade 2 via a rubber damping ring 901, which can improve the damping of the door panel 9 when it covers the front of the sunshade 2. With the design of magnet 15 and magnet 26, the attraction between the two can be used to improve the stability of the door panel 9 when it covers the front of the sunshade 2.

[0034] When in use: The cable that needs to be printed is inserted into the interior of the light shield 2 through the through hole 8 on one side of the light shield 2 and exits through the observation hole on the other side of the light shield 2. The cable is supported and stabilized by two sets of guide roller assemblies 6 on both sides of the inlet and outlet of the light shield 2 to ensure the straightness and stability of the cable when passing through the interior of the light shield 2.

[0035] When the laser printer 4 prints text on the cable passing through the inside of the light shield 2, it will generate some smoke and dust. By starting the smoke and dust extraction machine 14, the smoke and dust inside the light shield 2 can be quickly extracted using the guide pipe 13, the smoke hood 12 and the second opening 11, thereby preventing the smoke and dust from directly drifting into the workshop and affecting the workshop environment.

[0036] Since the light shield 2 is entirely black, it can block the light generated during printing, thereby preventing nearby staff from accidentally seeing it and causing eye discomfort, and can provide a certain degree of eye protection for nearby staff.

[0037] In summary, the light shield 2 can collect smoke and dust during cable printing, preventing direct diffusion of smoke and dust. In conjunction with the smoke and dust extraction machine 14, it can quickly extract the smoke and dust inside the light shield 2. It can also block bright light during cable printing. As the cable passes through the light shield 2, it is guided and supported by the guide wheel assembly 6, ensuring the straightness and stability of the cable inside the light shield 2, and ensuring the stability of the printing on the cable surface.

[0038] It should be noted that the laser printing machine 4 is common knowledge in this field, and its working principle is already a well-known technology in cable printing. The specific model and specifications can be selected and determined according to the device and actual conditions, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0039] 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. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
