Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for marking a conductor.
- both ends of a conductor for example a cable
- a conductor for example a cable
- information such as location symbols in order to be able to clearly identify where the respective end in the control cabinet is to be connected in the facility or should be connected after a retrofit.
- marking solutions for this, which usually include manual application of the marking.
- plastic tags are widespread, which are printed and manually locked onto the cable by means of a transparent cover.
- Other known labeling techniques print directly on the conductor.
- Patent specification DE 19738485 C2 also describes a method for producing an identification plate from a strip-shaped plastic material, i.e. a film strip, which is also referred to in technical jargon as wire-mark film.
- the top of the film can be labeled using thermal transfer printing.
- the underside has an adhesive layer.
- the foil is placed around a cable and then heat is introduced by heating elements, which liquefies the adhesive of the foil at the contact point. The contact point must then remain pressed together for a short time until the adhesive has hardened again.
- a disadvantage of the existing labeling techniques is the high personnel expenditure for a repetitive activity, since the conductor must first be assembled and then individually fed to and removed from the device for labeling.
- Fully automatic devices are available for assembling the cables, ie cutting them to the correct length and, if necessary, processing the cable ends.
- marking modules that directly mark the cable ends with the help of inkjet printers or marking lasers.
- the document US 5444466 describes a combined labeling and cutting, in which printing is carried out directly on the insulation of the conductor.
- a conventional marking device which prints, folds over and welds the film strip, requires more installation space than is provided for a marking module in such assembly devices.
- the labeling technologies that exist for devices for assembling a conductor have various disadvantages. For example, with direct printing on the conductor, legibility is heavily dependent on the color of the conductor. Furthermore, due to the surface curvature of the conductor, the typeface is often unclean, for example in inkjet printing. Other printing techniques, such as laser marking, cannot be used on every conductor. Direct labeling of the conductor also has the disadvantage that the printed information is lost when the conductor is shortened. The orientation of the print cannot be changed either, and the ability to write on it depends on the jacket material of the conductor.
- the aforementioned wiremark technology is superior to direct printing on the conductor with regard to the labeling result.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a technology for marking the conductor that can be integrated into a device for assembling a conductor.
- An alternative or more specific task is to provide a technique for wrinkle-free and tight-fitting identification of a conductor.
- a device for identifying a conductor comprises a gripper which is designed to grip (for example hold) the conductor extending in a longitudinal direction.

- the device comprises a transport mechanism for outputting a film strip extending on a first side of the heating jaw arrangement along the first transverse direction.
- a film side of the film strip facing away from the heating jaw arrangement can be heat-welded.
- a foil side of the foil strip facing the heating jaw arrangement has the identification of the conductor.
- the device comprises a gripper mechanism which is designed to move the gripper in the open position of the heating jaw arrangement along a second transverse direction transverse to the longitudinal direction and transversely to the first transverse direction, the gripper holding the gripped conductor from the first side of the heating jaw arrangement between the two jaws moved therethrough while the foil tape resting against the conductor is carried along to a second side of the heating jaw arrangement opposite the first side.
- the two jaws are designed to exert pressure on one another in the first transverse direction and to give off heat, with sections of the weldable film side of the Foil strips are or can be brought into contact with one another under the pressure of the jaws and the heat of the jaws is able to weld or weld the sections for the circumferentially closed arrangement of the foil strip having the identification around the conductor.
- embodiments of the device can wrap the foil tape around the conductor by means of the heating jaws itself, so that the subsequent closing of the Heating jaw arrangement the foil tape folded over on the conductor is welded wrinkle-free and tightly fitting to the conductor.
- the same or further exemplary embodiments of the device can be integrated into a device for assembling the conductor, for example without an additional mechanism for turning over the foil strip and / or due to its compact design.
- the “conductor” can be an electrical and / or an electromagnetic, for example optical, conductor.
- the conductor can be designed to conduct electrical charge, an electrical current, an electrical voltage, and / or light.
- the conductor can comprise one or more insulations.
- the conductor can comprise one core or several cores isolated from one another, each of which is designed for electrical and / or electromagnetic, for example optical, conduction.

- the device 100 further comprises a transport mechanism 114 for outputting 114.2 a film strip 118 extending on a first side 116 of the heating jaw arrangement 108 along the first transverse direction 112.
- the transport mechanism 114 comprises a first actuator 114.1, shown in FIG. 2, which drives the movement of the film strip 118, and a deflection unit 114.3 arranged in the transport direction between the actuator 114.1 and the output 114.2.
- a second actuator 114.4 for moving the film strip 118 is also arranged on the deflection unit 114.3.
- a film side 120 of the film strip 118 facing away from the heating jaw arrangement 108 can be heat-welded.
- a film side 122 of the film strip 118 facing the heating jaw arrangement 108 has the identification of the conductor 102.
- the device 100 comprises a printer 150, preferably a thermal transfer printer.
- the printer 150 is arranged along the transport mechanism 114 between an unwinder 152 of the film tape 118 and the deflection unit 114.3 to print the label for the conductor 102 on the film side 122 of the film tape 118 facing the heating jaw arrangement 108.
- the device 100 further comprises a gripper mechanism 124 which is designed to move the gripper 104 in the open position of the heating jaw arrangement 108 along a second transverse direction 126 transverse to the longitudinal direction 106 and transversely to the first transverse direction 112.
- the gripper 104 moves the gripped conductor 102 from the first side 116 of the heating jaw arrangement 108 between the two jaws 110 while carrying the film strip 118 adjacent to the conductor 102 onto a second opposite side 116 Page 128 of heating jaw assembly 108.
- the two jaws 110 are longitudinally movable between the oven position and a closed position.
- the jaws 110 are designed to exert pressure on one another in the first transverse direction 112 and to give off heat, as a result of which the sections of the weldable film side 120 of the film strip turned over on the conductor 102, which are arranged between the jaws 110, are in contact with one another under the pressure of the jaws 110 and the heat of the jaws 110 welds the sections together.
- a circumferentially closed arrangement of the film strip having the identification is produced around the conductor 102.
- Embodiments of the device 100 can be integrated into a device for assembling the conductor 102 (for example a machine for automatic cable assembly).
- a further gripper 174 can be provided for integration, which in the first transverse direction 112 between an output point of the device for packaging and a The receiving point of the device 100 for receiving the assembled conductor 102 is linearly movable.
- the printer 150 does not block the path between the output point of the assembly device and the receiving point of the device 100 or lengthen it by the length of the printer 150 and the unwinder 152.
- One exemplary embodiment (for example the exemplary embodiment shown) of the device 100 uses an existing wiremark film as the film strip 118.
- the exemplary embodiment of the device 100 comprises the unwinder 152 as a holder for the film 118, a thermal transfer printer 150, the transport mechanism 114 for guiding and deflecting the film 118, the gripper 164 and the heating jaw arrangement 108 as a welding unit, which also provides the contact surfaces to turn the film 118 over.
- the device 100 preferably further comprises a separating knife 148 and an associated actuator 148.1, which pivots the separating knife about a pivot axis parallel to the second transverse direction 126.
- Embodiments of the device 100 can keep the width of the installation space of the device 100 in the first transverse direction 112 particularly small.
- the small width is important so that the device 100 can be used on or in a large number of different devices for assembly and thus takes up as little space as possible. Because of this, the printer 150 cannot be placed directly next to the heating jaw assembly 108 as a welding unit. The film 118 must therefore be deflected by 90 °.
- the deflection unit 114.3 is designed for this.
- the conductor 102 to be labeled (for example the cable to be labeled) is held by the gripper 104 at two gripping points 130 and 132 and is pressed through the film 118, which is thereby placed around the conductor 102.
- the distance 134 shown in FIG. 4 between the first gripping points 130 and the second Gripping points 132 of the gripper 104 is greater than the width 136 of the heating jaw arrangement 108 in the longitudinal direction 106, so that the gripper 104 does not block the movement of the jaws 110 from the open position into the closed position. Rather, in the closed position, the conductor 102 is gripped at the first gripping point 130 and the second gripping point 132 outside the heating jaw arrangement 108.
- a support spring 138 is located below the conductor 102, for example on the aforementioned second side of the heating jaw arrangement 108.
- the support spring 138 is a spring element which is designed to place the film 118 tightly around the conductor 102.
- Embodiments of the device 100 can advantageously offer the possibility, compared with existing table-top devices of wiremark technology, to be able to determine a tight fit of the film 118, i.e. the marking, on the conductor 102 by specifying a parameter.
- the parameter can be transmitted to the controller or entered, for example, via a data interface or a keypad of the device 100.
- the film is folded around the conductor before it is folded in order to obtain a flat writing surface, whereby the film does not lie tightly or all around the conductor.
- Embodiments of the device 100 for marking place the film 118 around the conductor 102, for example in contrast to the double-folded marking according to patent specification DE 19738485 C2.
- the welding jaws 110 close and weld the film 118.
- the jaws 110 each comprise a welding ceramic.
- the welding ceramic can be mounted in an oscillating manner, so that the surfaces of the jaws 110 align themselves parallel to one another.
- the controller leaves the welding jaws 110 together (ie in the closed position) to hold the film 118 together during the cooling process of the adhesive.
- the controller leaves the welding jaws 110 permanently at temperature (for example a temperature above the melting point of the adhesive).
- the jaws 110 only close briefly in order to liquefy the adhesive of the weldable film side 120.
- the jaws 110 then open again immediately.
- a spring element is arranged on each fleece jaw 110, which element presses the sections of the film 118 against one another in the middle, even if the welding jaws 110 are already slightly opened.
- the second variant can reduce a cycle time compared to the first variant.
- the first variant can achieve a comparable cycle time with less constructive effort.
- the cutting knife 148 is then extended to cut through the film. This is pushed through the foil at an angle to ensure that the blade is worn evenly.
- FIG. 5 and 6 show a gate 140 which defines the path of the sequence of movements of the gripper 104 in one plane.
- the link 140 comprises a guide groove 142 and a roller 144, which transfers the path of the guide groove to the gripper mechanism 124.
- An actuator 124.1 of the gripper mechanism 124 drives the sequence of movements via a pivot drive 146 of the link 140.

- the first gripping point 130 of the gripper 104 deflects and increases the distance to the first gripping point 132 compared to the original distance 134.
- the gripped conductor 102 remains tensioned during the third movement, for example against a transverse force of the Foil 118 wrapped around conductor 102.
- the first run-on bevel 154 is preferably a free end of a leaf spring 158 which has a kink 158.1 at or in the vicinity of the pivot axis of the pivotably mounted first gripping point 130. Due to the interaction of the bevels 154 and 156 during the third movement, the first gripping point 130 is deflected against a tensioning force (or a torque) of the leaf spring 158.
