Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable processing technology, specifically a continuous inkjet printer for cable production. Background Technology

[0002] After cable production is completed, an inkjet printer is needed to mark the insulation layer on the cable surface to indicate the manufacturer and cable model. For example, Chinese patent application CN218414103U discloses an inkjet printer for cables. This device places the cable between two push wheels, which clamp and transport it. During transport, the inkjet printer sprays the cable. However, the push wheels are difficult to adjust. Because different cables have different thicknesses, thicker cables may have difficulty passing between the two push wheels, making it difficult to transport the cable forward for spraying. This results in poor practicality. Therefore, this case arose from in-depth research into these problems. Utility Model Content

[0018] 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.

[0019] Example: Refer to the appendix of the instruction manual Figure 1-6As can be seen, this application specifically designs a continuous inkjet printer 2 for cable production, including a machine base 1 and an inkjet printer 2 disposed on one side of the machine base 1. A stand 3 is disposed on the machine base 1, and a traction mechanism 4 is disposed on one side of the machine base 1. A vertical adjustment component is disposed on the stand 3, and a mounting base 5 is disposed on the moving end of the vertical adjustment component. The mounting base 5 is assembled and connected to the printhead 6 of the inkjet printer 2 body. A fixed frame 7 is disposed on the machine base 1, and horizontal guide components are disposed at both ends of the fixed frame 7. A vertical guide component is disposed between the horizontal guide components. The horizontal guide component includes an assembly groove 8 disposed at the end of the fixed frame 7, and a pull rod is disposed in the assembly groove 8. The lead screw 9 has two symmetrically arranged lead screw nuts 10, which are fixedly fitted to the movable slide table 11. Guide support components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the assembly groove 8. The movable slide table 11 is connected to the sliding end of the guide support components. A horizontal limit roller 12 is rotatably mounted on the movable slide table 11. A handwheel 13 is installed on the exposed end of the lead screw 9. The guide support components include a guide rail 14 and a slider 15. The guide rail 14 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lead screw 9, and the slider 15 is slidably fitted onto the guide rail 14 and connected to the movable slide. This continuous inkjet printer 2 for cable production is based on the existing inkjet printer 2 body. The guide support mechanism of the cable marking operation area is improved to enable continuous marking operations during cable production and processing in conjunction with the marking machine 2. The formed cable enters through the horizontal guide assembly on one side of the fixed frame 7, passes through the vertical guide assembly, and exits through the horizontal guide assembly on the other side, connecting with the traction mechanism 4. The operating handwheel 13 controls the rotation of the pull screw 9, which, in turn, drives the two movable slides 11 to slide towards each other along the guide rail 14 under the action of the screw nut 10. This pushes the horizontal limit rollers 12 to limit and clamp the cable from both sides, maintaining the horizontal limiting effect. After adjustment, the vertical guide assembly is controlled. The mechanism operates to vertically limit the cable, allowing it to pass smoothly through position 1 of the machine. The cable is then pulled by the traction mechanism 4 on one side of the machine, ensuring continuous and stable passage through position 1, in conjunction with the inkjet printer 2 for spraying operations. Both the horizontal and vertical guide components feature an open design, meeting the limiting requirements of cables with different diameters. This effectively ensures the stability of the cable as it passes through position 6 of the printhead, improving the reliability of the inkjet printing operation. The structure is compact and versatile, suitable for different types of cylindrical or irregularly shaped cables (such as flat cables).

[0020] In the specific implementation process, the above-mentioned vertical guide assembly includes a vertical plate 16 and a vertical limiting roller 17. The vertical plate 16 is symmetrically arranged on the fixed frame 7, and arc-shaped guide grooves 18 are symmetrically opened on the vertical plate 16. The two ends of the vertical limiting roller 17 are respectively slidably inserted into the arc-shaped guide grooves 18. A spacing adjustment component is provided on the outer side of the vertical plate 16. One end of the spacing adjustment component is assembled and connected to the vertical limiting roller 17. The spacing adjustment component includes a threaded seat 19 provided on the outer wall of the vertical plate 16. An adjusting screw 20 is screwed into the threaded seat 19. One end of the adjusting screw 20 is rotatably connected to a connecting seat 21. Two connecting plates 22 are hinged on the connecting seat 21. One end of the connecting plate 22 is rotatably connected to the exposed end of the vertical limiting roller 17. The vertical limiting roller 17 includes a support shaft 1701 and a polyurethane wear-resistant roller 1702 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the support shaft 1701. Guide grooved wheels 1703 are respectively sleeved at both ends of the support shaft 1701. The guide grooved wheels 1703 are slidably engaged with the arc-shaped guide groove 18. In use, the adjusting screw 20 is rotated according to the actual size of the cable to be processed. The adjusting screw 20 moves horizontally along the threaded seat 19. During the movement of the adjusting screw 20, it drives the connecting seat 21 at one end to move. The movement of the connecting seat 21 drives the connecting plate 22 and the vertical limiting roller 17 to slide along the arc-shaped guide groove 18, thereby realizing the precise adjustment of the distance between the upper and lower vertical limiting guide rollers and ensuring that a stable and reliable limiting support is provided for the cable.

[0021] In the specific implementation process, the above-mentioned vertical adjustment component includes a screw module 23 installed in the frame 3. Guide columns 24 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the screw module 23. An L-shaped support 25 is provided on the moving end of the screw module 23. The two sides of the L-shaped support 25 are slidably engaged with the guide columns 24 respectively. The screw module 23 is used to precisely adjust the height of the L-shaped support 25 in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the rapid adjustment of the height position of the nozzle 6 and meeting the needs of continuous spraying operations for cables of different sizes.

[0022] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
