As shown in FIG. 1, the electric wire coloring apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes two ink cartridges 10a and 10b and two ink adhering members 20a and 20b.

  The ink cartridges 10a and 10b hold ink. The ink adhering members 20a and 20b are made of, for example, felt capable of receiving and holding ink, or permeable rubber, and hold the ink supplied from the ink cartridges 10a and 10b in an absorbed state. The ink adhering members 20a and 20b are elastically deformed with respect to the contact object, and adhere the ink held by the elastic deformation to the contact object.

  Such ink adhering members 20a and 20b include ellipsoidal portions 21a and 21b having an elliptical cross section, and ink introduction portions 22a and 22b that connect the ellipsoidal portions 21a and 21b and the ink cartridges 10a and 10b. . The ink reaches the elliptical portions 21a and 21b through the ink introducing portions 22a and 22b. In such ink adhering members 20a and 20b, the ellipsoidal portions 21a and 21b are in contact with each other in a state where the electric wire 100 is not colored.

  Further, the ink adhering members 20a and 20b are configured to move. Specifically, the ink adhering members 20a and 20b are configured to move in the direction of separating from each other (see arrow A). Thus, the ink adhering members 20a and 20b can adjust the distance between them. Further, the ink adhering members 20a and 20b can be rotated by a predetermined angle with the ink introducing portions 22a and 22b as rotation centers (see arrow B). In addition, the ink adhering members 20a and 20b can move up and down together with the ink cartridges 10a and 10b (see arrows C1 and C2).

  Next, an electric wire coloring method by the coloring apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the state of the colored electric wire 100, where (a) shows the entire circumference colored state, (b) shows the single-sided colored state, and (c) shows the double-sided colored state. Yes. In the coloring device 1, the entire circumference, one side, and both sides of the electric wire 100 can be colored.

  First, the case where it colors with respect to the perimeter of the electric wire 100 is demonstrated. The two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are in contact in the initial state. When the entire circumference of the electric wire 100 is colored, the contact portion d of the two ink adhering members 20 a and 20 b is reciprocated with respect to the electric wire 100.

  More specifically, first, the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are moved in the going direction C1. Then, the ink adhering members 20 a and 20 b are brought into contact with the electric wire 100. Further, the ink adhering members 20 a and 20 b are urged against the electric wire 100 even after the contact. As a result, the two ink coloring members 20a and 20b rotate around the ink introduction portions 22a and 22b. And the contact location of the ink adhering members 20 a and 20 b passes through the electric wire 100. Thereby, the single side | surface of the electric wire 100 is colored.

  Thereafter, the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are moved in the return direction C2. In the case of moving in the return direction C2, the remaining one side is colored in the same manner as in the going direction C1. By the above, as shown to Fig.2 (a), it can color on the perimeter of the electric wire 100 (refer code | symbol 101).

  Next, the case where it colors with respect to the single side | surface of the electric wire 100 is demonstrated. When coloring one side of the electric wire 100, the two ink adhering members 20 a and 20 b are brought into contact with the electric wire 100 without reciprocating the contact portion d with respect to the electric wire 100. As described above, when the ink adhering members 20a and 20b are brought into contact with the electric wire 100 without passing through the contact point d, the one side of the electric wire 100 is colored, the remaining one side is not colored, and the one-side coloring is realized. Will be. As described above, it is possible to enable single-sided coloring as shown in FIG. 2B while reducing the amount of ink used (see reference numeral 103).

  Next, the case where it colors with respect to both surfaces of the electric wire 100 is demonstrated. When coloring both surfaces of the electric wire 100, the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are separated from each other, and the interval between the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b is adjusted to the same extent as the electric wire diameter. Then, an interval similar to the wire diameter is reciprocated with respect to the wire 100. Here, since the interval is about the same as the wire diameter, the ink is colored only at both ends of the wire 100. Thereby, double-sided coloring is realized. As described above, it is possible to perform double-sided coloring as shown in FIG. 2C while reducing the amount of ink used (see reference numeral 102).

  In the above description, the interval is reciprocated with respect to the electric wire 100. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b may be merely brought into contact with the electric wire 100. This is also because it is possible to color both ends of the electric wire 100.

The portions of the adhering members 20a and 20b that come into contact with the outside air are reduced, and drying of the ink is suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the ink from being dried and reduce the amount of ink used.

  In addition, the electric wire 100 is colored by reciprocating the electric wire 100 while pushing and expanding the contact portion d where the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b contact. For this reason, when the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are first moved in the going direction C1, one side of the electric wire 100 is colored, and when the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are moved in the returning direction C2, the remaining one side is colored. Thereby, when coloring to the perimeter of the electric wire 100, ink can be made to adhere effectively and the amount of ink used can be reduced.

  Further, the electric wire 100 is colored by bringing the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b into contact with the electric wire 100 without passing through the contact portion d of the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b with respect to the electric wire 100. For this reason, one side of the electric wire 100 is colored at the stage where the ink adhering members 20a and 20b are brought into contact without passing through the contact portion d. Thereby, it is possible to perform single-sided coloring while reducing the amount of ink used.

  Further, the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are separated from each other so that the distance between the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b is approximately the same as the electric wire diameter, and the interval is reciprocated with respect to the electric wire 100. By doing so, the electric wire 100 is colored. As described above, when the distance is about the same as the diameter of the electric wire, when the distance is reciprocated with respect to the electric wire 100, or when the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are brought into contact with the electric wire 100, the ink is absorbed at both ends of the electric wire 100. It is possible to realize double-sided coloring. Therefore, it is possible to perform double-sided coloring while reducing the amount of ink used.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is a schematic configuration diagram illustrating the coloring device 3 of the electric wire 100 according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, the coloring device 3 for the electric wire 100 according to the third embodiment includes two ink adhering members 80a and 80b and two accommodating cases 90a and 90b.

  The two ink adhering members 80a and 80b are the same as those in the first and second embodiments. The two storage cases 90a and 90b are concave cases that store the ink adhering members 80a and 80b, respectively, and the ink adhering members 80a and 80b are fitted in the recesses.

  The accommodation cases 90a and 90b are movable. These storage cases 20a and 20b are configured to match the open portions 21a and 21b with each other at the standby position E. This prevents the ink from drying from the ink adhering members 10a and 10b during standby.

Furthermore, the storage cases 90a and 90b move downward through the intermediate position F while approaching each other. Accordingly, the housing cases 90a and 90b can move to the final position G.

  Next, the coloring method of the electric wire 100 by the coloring device 3 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the coloring device 3 according to the third embodiment, the entire circumference, one side, and both sides of the electric wire 100 can be colored.

  First, the case where it colors with respect to the perimeter of the electric wire 100 is demonstrated. When coloring the entire circumference of the electric wire 100, the electric wire 100 is colored by sandwiching the electric wire 100 with two ink adhering members 80a and 80b. More specifically, the two housing cases 90a and 90b are moved in a state where the electric wire 100 is disposed at a predetermined position. At this time, the two storage cases 90a and 90b are moved to the final position G through the intermediate position F. At the final position G, the two ink adhering members 80a and 80b are in contact with each other, so that the entire circumference of the electric wire 100 can be colored as shown in FIG.

  Note that, at the final position G, the two ink adhering members 80a and 80b may sandwich the electric wire 100 so as to be separated by a distance shorter than the electric wire diameter. That is, when coloring the entire circumference, the distance between the two ink adhering members 80a and 80b only needs to be shorter than the wire diameter at the final position G.

  Next, the case where it colors with respect to the single side | surface of the electric wire 100 is demonstrated. When coloring one side of the electric wire 100, the electric wire 100 is colored by bringing only one of the two ink adhering members 80 a and 80 b into contact with the electric wire 100. More specifically, only one of the two housing cases 90a and 90b is moved, and the other is stopped at the standby position E. The one housing case 90a, 90b is moved to the final position G through the intermediate position F. Thereby, as shown in FIG.2 (b), single-sided coloring can be made possible.

  Next, the case where it colors with respect to both surfaces of the electric wire 100 is demonstrated. When coloring the both sides of the electric wire 100, the electric wire 100 is colored by pinching the electric wire 100 between the two ink adhering members 80a and 80b at the same interval as the electric wire diameter. More specifically, the two storage cases 90a and 90b are moved to the vicinity of the final position G (that is, the positions where the two ink adhering members 80a and 80b do not match and are slightly spaced). At this time, the distance between the two ink adhering members 80a and 80b is approximately the same as the wire diameter. Thereby, as shown in FIG.2 (c), double-sided coloring can be made possible.

  Thus, according to the coloring method of the electric wire 100 which concerns on 3rd Embodiment, the drying of ink can be prevented and the amount of ink used can be reduced similarly to 1st Embodiment.

  Furthermore, according to 3rd Embodiment, the electric wire 100 is colored by pinching the electric wire 100 with the two ink adhesion members 80a and 80b. For this reason, by being sandwiched between the two ink adhering members 80a and 80b, coloring is performed simultaneously from both ends of the electric wire 100, and coloring is performed over the entire circumference. Thereby, when coloring to the perimeter of the electric wire 100, ink can be made to adhere effectively and the amount of ink used can be reduced.

  In addition, the electric wire 100 is colored by sandwiching the electric wire 100 with the two ink adhering members 80a and 80b spaced apart from each other by the same distance as the electric wire diameter. For this reason, ink is colored only at both ends of the electric wire 100, and double-sided coloring can be realized. Therefore, it is possible to perform double-sided coloring while reducing the amount of ink used.

  Further, the electric wire 100 is colored by bringing only one of the two ink adhering members 80 a and 80 b into contact with the electric wire 100. For this reason, ink is colored only on one side of the electric wire 100, and single-sided coloring can be realized. Therefore, it is possible to enable single-sided coloring while reducing the amount of ink used.

  Next, a first reference example will be described. FIG. 8 is a schematic configuration diagram illustrating the coloring device 4 of the electric wire 100 according to the first reference example. The coloring device 4 shown in FIG. 8 is similar to that of the first embodiment, but is partially different. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure same as FIG. 1, and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the coloring device 4 shown in FIG. 8, the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are not in contact with each other in the initial state, and are arranged with an interval h therebetween. Then, the electric wire 100 is colored from both sides of the electric wire 100 by these two ink adhering members 20a and 20b.

  Next, an electric wire coloring method by the coloring device 4 according to the first reference example will be described with reference to FIGS. In the coloring device 4, the entire circumference, one side, and both sides of the electric wire 100 can be colored.

  First, the case where it colors with respect to the perimeter of the electric wire 100 is demonstrated. When coloring the entire circumference of the electric wire 100, the distance h between the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b is adjusted. At this time, the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are adjusted so as to be separated by a distance h that is a distance shorter than the diameter of the electric wire. The distance h at this time may be zero. Then, the distance h between the two ink adhering members 20 a and 20 b is reciprocated with respect to the electric wire 100.

  More specifically, first, the two ink adhering members 20 a and 20 b are moved in the going direction C <b> 1, and the distance h is passed through the electric wire 100. Thereby, one side of the electric wire 100 is colored. That is, when the distance h is passed through the electric wire 100, the two ink coloring members 20a and 20b rotate around the ink introducing portions 22a and 22b after contacting the electric wire 100. Thereby, the space | interval h spreads, the electric wire 100 passes the space | interval h, and coloring will be performed to the single side | surface of the electric wire 100. FIG.

  Thereafter, when the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are moved in the return direction C2, the remaining one surface is also colored. Also at this time, similarly to the movement in the going direction C1, the remaining one side is colored. By the above, as shown to Fig.2 (a), it can color on the perimeter of the electric wire 100 (refer code | symbol 101).

  In the above, since the ink adhering members 20a and 20b are colored, it is possible to use only an amount of ink corresponding to the amount of contact with the ink adhering members 20a and 20b without spraying with an ejection nozzle or the like. In particular, since the ink adhering members 20a and 20b color the electric wire from both sides of the electric wire 100, when the entire circumference of the electric wire 100 is colored, there is no need for a nozzle swing or the like, and the ink is effectively attached to the electric wire 100. Can do.

  That is, conventionally, various methods for coloring an electric wire by spraying ink from an ejection nozzle or the like to color the electric wire have been proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 6-190341, 2008-93617, and Japanese Translation of PCT International Publication No. 2004-15721). However, if ink is sprayed as in the conventional wire coloring method, some ink does not adhere to the wire during the spraying process, and the amount of ink used becomes large. In particular, when coloring the entire circumference of the electric wire, it is necessary to swing the ejection nozzle while ejecting ink from the ejection nozzle. For this reason, many of the inks ejected from the ejection nozzles during the swing do not hit the electric wires, and the amount of ink used is further increased.

  However, according to the coloring method of the electric wire 100 according to the first reference example, the ink adhering members 20a and 20b are used, and since there is no need for the nozzle swing, the ink can be effectively attached to the electric wire 100, The amount of ink used can be reduced.

  Next, the case where it colors with respect to the single side | surface of the electric wire 100 is demonstrated. When coloring one side of the electric wire 100, the distance h between the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b is adjusted. At this time, the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are adjusted so as to be separated by a distance h that is a distance shorter than the diameter of the electric wire. The distance h at this time may be zero.

  Then, the two ink adhering members 20 a and 20 b are brought into contact with each other without reciprocating the interval h with respect to the electric wire 100. As described above, when the ink adhering members 20a and 20b are brought into contact with the electric wire 100 without passing through the interval h, the one surface of the electric wire 100 is colored, the remaining one surface is not colored, and the one-side coloring is realized. The Rukoto. As described above, it is possible to enable single-sided coloring as shown in FIG. 2B while reducing the amount of ink used (see reference numeral 103).

  Next, the case where it colors with respect to both surfaces of the electric wire 100 is demonstrated. When coloring both surfaces of the electric wire 100, the distance h between the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b is adjusted to the same extent as the electric wire diameter. Then, an interval h that is approximately the same as the wire diameter is reciprocated with respect to the wire 100. Here, since the interval h is approximately the same as the wire diameter, the ink is colored only at both ends of the wire 100. Thereby, double-sided coloring is realized. As described above, it is possible to perform double-sided coloring as shown in FIG. 2C while reducing the amount of ink used (see reference numeral 102).

  Although the interval h is reciprocated with respect to the electric wire 100 in the above, the present invention is not limited to this, and the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b may be merely brought into contact with the electric wire 100. This is also because it is possible to color both ends of the electric wire 100.

  In this way, according to the coloring method of the electric wire 100 according to the first reference example, the ink is held in an absorbed state, elastically deformed with respect to the contact object, and the ink held by this elastic deformation is retained. The ink adhering members 20a and 20b adhering to the contact object color the electric wire from both sides of the electric wire 100. For this reason, it is possible to use only the amount of ink corresponding to the amount of contact with the ink adhering members 20a and 20b without spraying with an ejection nozzle or the like. In particular, since the ink adhering members 20a and 20b color the electric wire 100 from both sides of the electric wire 100, there is no need for a nozzle swing or the like when coloring the entire circumference of the electric wire 100, and the ink can be effectively adhered to the electric wire. it can. Therefore, the amount of ink used can be reduced.

  Further, the two ink adhering members 20 a and 20 b are arranged with a distance h that is shorter than the diameter of the electric wire, and the electric wire is colored by reciprocating the distance h with respect to the electric wire 100. Therefore, first, when the distance d between the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b is moved in the going direction C1, one side of the electric wire 100 is colored, and when the distance d is moved in the returning direction C2, the remaining one side is colored. It becomes. Thereby, when coloring to the perimeter of the electric wire 100, ink can be made to adhere effectively and the amount of ink used can be reduced.

  Further, the electric wire 100 is colored by bringing the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b into contact with the electric wire 100 without allowing the electric wire 100 to pass through the interval d between the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b. For this reason, one side of the electric wire 100 is colored at the stage where the ink adhering members 20a and 20b are brought into contact without passing through the interval d. Thereby, it is possible to perform single-sided coloring while reducing the amount of ink used.

  Further, by setting the distance d between the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b to be approximately the same as the electric wire diameter, the distance d is reciprocated with respect to the electric wire 100, or the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are brought into contact with the electric wire 100. The electric wire 100 is colored. As described above, when the distance d is approximately the same as the wire diameter, when the distance d is reciprocated with respect to the electric wire 100 or when the two ink adhering members 20a and 20b are brought into contact with the electric wire 100, the ink is transferred to the electric wire 100. It can be colored only at both ends of the film, and double-sided coloring can be realized. Therefore, it is possible to perform double-sided coloring while reducing the amount of ink used.

  Next, a second reference example will be described.
