Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cable line information marking input control device. Background Technology

[0003] The method used to indicate the system on distribution lines involves attaching markers near connectors. These markers are attached to connected devices, structures, customer products, etc. The markers are attached after the cables have been laid, and there is no additional system information identifiable on-site other than the markers.

[0004] Therefore, if markers are omitted or registered by mistake, further verification becomes impossible. Furthermore, if markers are not attached or if there is a discrepancy between the drawings and the markers, confusion arises in identifying the power system. Moreover, power supply may be delayed due to system interference during emergencies, such as power failures. Additionally, verifying the underground system incurs additional costs and work, such as circuit surveying. For these reasons, there is a need for the development of technology capable of marking line information corresponding to the cables simultaneously with cable pulling.

The mounting part (120) is provided at the bottom of the body part (110) to support the movement and marking of the cable (10). The mounting part (120) can be provided as an upper and lower separable structure as needed. That is, the mounting part (120) can be formed as a structure that separates and combines into two upper and lower parts. For example, the mounting portion (120) may include a first mounting portion (122) provided at the top and a second mounting portion (124) provided at the bottom and coupled to the first mounting portion (122) at the top by a fastening structure. The first mounting portion (122) is coupled to the body portion (110) and can partially implement the support function of the moving portion (300).

The upper part of the first mounting portion (122) can be connected to the lower part of the body portion (110) by a connecting screw (126). The moving portion (300) may be provided along the longitudinal direction of the first mounting portion (122). The first mounting portion (122) may have a storage groove on the inside to store an ink cartridge (210). The storage groove may be provided along the longitudinal direction of the first mounting portion (122). A transfer tube (240) connected to an ink cartridge (210) may be built into the first mounting portion (122). The transfer tube (240) may be connected to the spraying portion (220) through the body portion (110). The second mounting portion (124) is provided at the bottom of the first mounting portion (122) and has a portion in contact with the bottom surface, and can implement the function of supporting a cable line information marking input control device including the body portion (110).The first mounting part (122) and the second mounting part (124) can also be interconnected through a connecting screw (126). The lower part of the second mounting part (124) is formed for mounting and can stably support the main body part (100) during pulling by varying the weight and size according to the specifications of the cable (10). Since the main body part (100) according to the embodiment of the present invention is divided into a body part (110) and a mounting part (120), the body part (110) and the mounting part (120) can be easily installed on the ground at the site in an assembled state.

[0022] Meanwhile, the device may further include a display unit (130) provided on one side of the main body (100) to display a preset screen. The display unit (130) includes an LED window and may be provided on the outer side of the main body (100) in a flat or curved shape. The display unit (130) may also have the LED window applied as a touchscreen so that relevant content can be entered via a touch method on the display unit (130) screen. That is, content to be marked can be entered via a keyboard implemented on the LED window and transmitted to the control unit (410), and a corresponding marking control signal can be generated to the marking unit (200) through the control unit (410) to display relevant information on the outer sheath of the cable (10).

[0023] The moving part (300) is provided at the bottom of the main body (100) and functions to guide the movement of the cable (10). The moving part (300) includes a rotating shaft (310), a driving wheel (330), and a roller (320), and can safely maintain the movement of the cable (10) within the main body (100).

[0024] The rotation shaft (310) may be positioned at a preset interval along the longitudinal direction of the mounting part (120) and located below the cable (10). Multiple rotation shafts (310) may be provided. Multiple rotation shafts (310) may be connected by a connecting chain (350) and operated in conjunction. A rotation shaft (310) is provided on the inner wall of the main body part (100), and a pair of rollers (320) are coupled to one rotation shaft (310) to rotate, and the rotation shaft (310) and rollers (320) may be installed in one or more sets.

[0025] The drive wheel (330) is connected to one side of the rotation shaft (310) and can be directly connected to a power source.

[0026] A roller (320) that functions as a wire stranding device is provided at the bottom of the marking section (200) inside the main body (100) to facilitate the pulling of the cable (10). The roller (320) is rotatably coupled to a rotation axis (310) and functions to support the movement of the cable (10). Here, the roller (320) may be provided in a detachable manner. The roller (320) may be replaced with a shape corresponding to the shape of the cable (10). That is, since the roller (320) is provided in a detachable manner, it can be easily replaced with a roller (320) corresponding to the specifications of the cable (10).

[0027] The marking unit (200) is provided inside the main body (100) and is driven according to the input of a marking control signal to implement a marking corresponding to the surface of the cable (10) that has been moved to a preset marking position. The marking unit (200) may include a spraying unit (220) positioned on the upper side of the cable (10) on one side of the main body (100) to spray ink toward the cable (10) to print corresponding line information on the cable (10). The spraying unit (220) may be equipped with a spray nozzle (230) through which ink is sprayed. Multiple spray nozzles (230) may be provided. An ink cartridge (210) provided in the mounting unit (120) to supply ink to the spraying unit (220) may be further included. Oil-based ink is used, and the marking color can be changed according to the ink cartridge (210), for example, A-phase red, B-phase white, C-phase blue, etc. The ink cartridge (210) allows the remaining ink amount to be checked from the outside, and the ink amount can also be detected from the main body and displayed on the display unit (130). A transfer tube (240) may be further included to guide the movement of ink by connecting the spraying unit (220) and the ink cartridge (210). A transfer tube (240) connected to the spraying unit (220) may be embedded inside the wall of the main body (100). The transfer tube (240) may be connected to the inside of the mounting unit (120) which is assembled with the body unit (110). The transfer tube (240) provided in the body unit (110) and the mounting unit (120) may be formed to be separated and combined in sections as needed. The transfer tube (240) may be formed in a structure that prevents ink from spilling during the separation and combination process. As the injection unit (220) is provided for spraying ink from the upper part inside the main body (100), a desired text or pattern can be easily displayed on the outer sheath of the cable (10) passing through the main body (100).

[0028] The control unit (410) can generate a corresponding marking control signal to the marking unit (200) to simultaneously implement the movement and marking of the cable (10) by performing control operations related to the movement and marking of the cable (10) entering the main body (100). The control unit (410) may be provided on the upper side of the main body (100). A storage space for the control unit (410), a communication module (420), and a battery (430) may be provided inside the inner wall above the spraying unit (220) on the upper side of the main body (100). The battery (430) can be either rechargeable or dry cell type. A power button (440) is provided on one side of the battery (430) to turn the control unit (410) on / off.

[0029] The control unit (410) is a logical part of a program that performs specific functions in a computer, and is subject to calculations, processing, etc. by a processor of an information processing device. It can be implemented in software, hardware, etc. For example, the information processing device may include a control computer such as a control panel, a laptop, a personal computer, a handheld computer, a PDA (personal digital assistant), a mobile phone, a smart device, or a tablet. The control unit (410) can analyze information related to the movement and marking of the cable (10) based on information stored in memory and implement overall control operations related to the transmission of corresponding printing information. For example, the control unit (410) can analyze data received from the outside and perform control operations corresponding to cable line information marking control. The control unit (410) may have a built-in wireless communication device including Bluetooth. It may further include an input unit (412) that is electrically connected to the control unit (410) and inputs marking information to be printed on the cable (10). The input unit (412) may include an external electronic device, such as a laptop or a smartphone. The control unit (410) can edit the marking content information input through the input unit (412). The method of inputting text or patterns to be printed on the outer sheath of the cable (10) can be done by communicating with the control unit (410) and the mobile phone or laptop, respectively, so that the text or patterns can be input from the mobile phone or laptop. For example, the control unit (410) may have a built-in wireless communication device such as Bluetooth to communicate with the laptop or smartphone and easily edit the marking content in text. In addition, the control unit (410) can also exchange information with a digital puller that has a built-in communication function.

[0030] Meanwhile, a cable movement detection unit (414) for detecting the movement speed of the cable (10) may be further included. The cable movement detection unit (414) must be able to detect the movement speed of the cable (10). The method of detecting the movement speed of the cable (10) may include detecting the roller rotation speed, detecting the speed through communication with a digital tension meter, or a manual input method of the speed.

[0031] First, the cable movement detection unit (414) may include an encoder wheel (340) connected to the drive wheel (330) and transmitting speed information detected by the encoder to the control unit (410). In detecting the roller rotation speed, the drive wheel (330) connected to the rotation axis (310) and the encoder wheel (340) are connected, and the speed detected by the encoder wheel (340) is transmitted to the control unit (410), and a corresponding marking control signal is generated to control the ink ejection speed. In this case, the control unit (410) may generate a marking control signal corresponding to the marking speed control to the marking unit (200) according to the movement speed of the cable (10) detected by the cable movement detection unit (414).

[0032] In speed detection through communication with a digital tension meter, the cable pulling speed detected by communication with the digital tension meter used during cable (10) pulling is transmitted to the control unit (410), and the control unit (410) can control the ink ejection speed by generating a marking control signal corresponding to the received cable pulling speed. The digital tension meter may include a speed meter. The digital tension meter may be equipped with a wireless communication function.

[0033] In manual speed input, the speed can be entered through the display unit (130) or input unit (412) to match the cable pulling speed, and the speed can be increased or decreased according to the marking state. In addition, the spacing and font size of the sentences can be adjusted to match the cable (10), and the font can be implemented to be automatically adjusted when the cable (10) specifications are entered.

[0034] In this way, by driving the marking unit (200) in correspondence with the movement speed of the cable (10), line information corresponding to the outer sheath of the cable (10) can be easily marked simultaneously with the pulling of the cable (10).

[0035] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a field application example of a cable line information marking input control device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of cable line information marking using a cable line information marking input control device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] As illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, line information of the connection facility or customer address can be marked on the outer sheath of the cable (10). For example, in the ground transformer low-voltage system marking information, the transformer line number and the low-voltage junction box line number can be entered for the transformer, and the transformer-low-voltage junction box line number and the low-voltage junction box line number can be entered for the junction box. The low-voltage junction box line number and the riser point address can be entered for the riser point address.

[0037] As described above, the cable line information marking input control device according to the embodiment of the present invention can mark system information such as a connection facility number, customer name, and customer address on the outer sheath of the cable (10) by installing the marking control device near the cable reel when laying the cable (10) installed underground. That is, the control unit (410) receives the marking-related input content via communication, transmits a marking control signal to the marking unit (200), and can spray the marking-related input content using an inkjet through the spraying unit (220) of the marking unit (200).

[0038] In contrast, conventional portable marking devices are handheld types, and the object to be marked is fixed while the operator moves the marking device against the object to spray ink, which is inconvenient. In addition, the marking process is cumbersome, and incorrect information may be entered due to human error by the operator.

[0039] In contrast, the cable line information marking input control device according to an embodiment of the present invention can solve the aforementioned conventional problems by performing the marking operation when the cable pulling is completed. Furthermore, since the marking is performed simultaneously with the cable pulling, it increases the convenience of the operator and enables the display of accurate system information of the cable line.

[0040] A cable line information marking control method according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a cable movement step, a control step, and a marking step.

[0041] The cable movement step is a step of guiding the movement of the cable (10) into the interior of the main body (100), which is formed in a hollow shape with both ends open along the longitudinal direction.

[0042] The control step is a step of generating a corresponding marking control signal to the marking unit (200) to simultaneously implement the movement and marking of the cable (10) by performing control operations related to the movement and marking of the cable (10) that flows into the main body (100).

[0043] The marking step is a step of implementing a marking corresponding to the surface of a cable (10) that has been moved to a preset marking position using a marking unit (200) that is provided on the inner side of the main body and driven according to the input of a marking control signal.

[0044] Meanwhile, the cable line information marking control method according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a cable movement detection step. The cable movement detection step is a step of detecting the movement speed of a cable (10) moving into the main body (100) using a cable movement detection unit (414). In this case, a marking control signal corresponding to the marking speed adjustment can be generated to the marking unit (200) according to the movement speed of the cable (10) detected by the cable movement detection unit (414) in the control step.

[0045] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto and can be implemented with various modifications within the scope of the claims, the detailed description of the invention, and the attached drawings, and it is obvious that such modifications also fall within the scope of the present invention.
