Description

Number tube assembly and number tube manufacturing method

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a number tube assembly and a number tube, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a number tube assembly and a number tube for marking a surface of a number tube with an ink jet printer.

During the production and installation of electronic or communication equipment, there will be many signal lines or power lines connected to the relevant electronic components to complete the electrical connection of the entire system or equipment. The general practice is to distinguish and identify by the color of the line or pipeline, but in many cases, the color difference of the line or pipeline alone can obviously not meet the identification of many lines or pipelines, and the line or tube must be completed. The difference in surface color of the road will increase the difficulty and workload during the pre-wiring; therefore, a number tube is designed to mark the relevant identification characters on the surface of the number tube, and the number tube is set on the line or pipeline to be identified. In addition, the effect of differentiation and recognition is achieved.

At present, the commonly used number tube is formed by hot pressing on the surface of at least one package or disk mounted thermoplastic tube to form an identification text, and then the thermoplastic tube is cut to form a number tube. However, since the length of the linear thermoplastic tube of the package or the disk is too long, the problem of knotting, sliding, and rotating is likely to occur during the hot pressing process; and the marking text of each number tube is the heat of the ribbon. Pressed on its surface, which makes the writing easy to be erased and the clarity is not good The situation, as well as the production efficiency is not good; in addition, after the hot pressing of the thermoplastic tube is completed, the thermoplastic tube is not cut to form a number tube, but is cut again during use, thereby causing the user to cut The trouble of rearranging the numbered tubes is rearranged.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved method for manufacturing a number tube assembly and a number tube to overcome the disadvantages of conventional techniques for hot stamping the character on the surface of the number tube.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a number tube assembly, which can be improved by first cutting and separating the tube body and temporarily fixing it on the placement portion of the carrier member, and then performing the inkjet printing of the identification number of the number and the character. The quality and efficiency of the inkjet printing unit.

A secondary object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a number tube, which is formed by first cutting a thermoplastic tube to form a tube body, and then temporarily arranging and fixing it on the carrier to perform inkjet printing, thereby avoiding tube body generation. Displacement, sliding or turning.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a number tube assembly including a carrier member and a plurality of tube bodies; the carrier member includes a body and a plurality of placement portions, the placement portions are spaced apart on the body; The tube bodies are respectively fixed on the placement portions, wherein each tube body comprises an ink-jet portion and a fixing portion, and the ink-jet portion is used for spraying a pattern, and the fixing portion is used for placing the phase. On the corresponding placement section.

In an embodiment of the invention, the ink-jet portion of each tube body is a plane or a circular arc surface.

In an embodiment of the invention, the body of the carrier is a rigid plate.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the carrier further includes a plurality of adhesive layers respectively disposed on the placement portions for bonding the corresponding placement portions.

In an embodiment of the invention, the carrier is a disk.

In an embodiment of the invention, each of the placement portions forms a clamping groove.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a number tube, comprising a placing step and a spraying step, wherein the placing step is to arrange a plurality of tube bodies on a carrier, wherein each tube body A fixing portion is placed on a placement portion of the carrier; the spraying step is to eject the tubes to form a pattern on an ink-jet portion of each tube.

In an embodiment of the present invention, before the placing step, a pre-step is further included, wherein the at least one package or the disk-mounted thermoplastic tube is surface-treated and cut to separate and form. These tubes.

In an embodiment of the present invention, in the placing step, a body of the carrier is a hard plate, and the fixing portion of each tube is temporarily bonded to an adhesive layer on the corresponding placing portion.

In an embodiment of the present invention, in the placing step, the carrier is a disk, and the fixing portion of each tube is temporarily clamped to a clamping groove on the corresponding placing portion.

As described above, the present invention forms a plurality of separate tubes by first cutting, and temporarily bonds the tubes to the placement portions of the carrier by using the bonding layers, or uses the clips. The fixing body temporarily clamps and fixes the tubes on the carrier, so that the printer can conveniently synchronize a large number of rapid inkjet printing identification characters, and the inkjet portions of the tubes are not easily used during the inkjet period. The situation of displacement, sliding or rotation is generated, so that the quality and efficiency of the inkjet printing of the recognized characters of the printer can be improved; at the same time, since the tube systems are neatly arranged on the carrier, the user can easily carry the load from the carrier. The tubes are identified on the pieces, and the tubes are easily selected and taken, thereby shortening the working time.
