FIG. 1 is a front view showing the overall configuration of the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of a main part thereof. In these drawings, the label sticking device 10 includes a container 12 for containing a label base material 11 having a label L attached to one surface of a strip-like release material S, and a label base material 11 drawn out from the release material S. A peel plate 15 as a peeling means for peeling the label L, a sticking means 17 for sticking the peeled label L to the adherend 16, a collecting means 19 for collecting the release material S, the collecting means 19 and the housing Drive means 20 provided between the means 12 and feeding and feeding out the label base material 11 is provided.

  The label substrate 11 is of a type that does not have a winding core (paper tube), and is accommodated in the accommodating means 12 in a state of being wound in a roll shape so that it can freely rotate. The accommodating means 12 is attached to the front side of a case 22 that accommodates a control circuit of an operation switch (not shown). The accommodating means 12 is located on the front side of the panel 23 fixed to the front of the case 22 and is recessed upward in a semicircular arc shape, and is directed upward from the right end side in FIG. The curved cover part 25 is comprised. Further, an inclined surface 26 that is inclined downward to the left is provided on the left end side of the housing recess 24.

  The tip of the peel plate 15 is formed at an acute angle, and the label L can be peeled from the release material S by suddenly turning the direction of the label substrate 11 at the tip of the peel plate 15. The peel plate 15 is fixed to one end side (left end side in FIG. 1) of a support arm 28 extending in an axial shape, and an articulated link bar 29 is connected to the other end of the support arm 28. An operation lever 30 is fixed to the right end side of the link bar 29 in FIG. 1, and the support arm 28 is displaced along the axial direction (arrow direction) by rotating the operation lever 30 in the arrow A direction. As a result, the peel plate 15 can be moved to the retreat position B (see FIG. 4) away from the sticking means 17. Here, guide rollers 31 and 32 are provided on the upper surface side and the lower surface side of the support arm 28, and the support arm 28 can be smoothly displaced by these guide rollers 31 and 32.

  In this embodiment, the sticking means 17 is constituted by a vacuum grit 35 having a label holding surface 34 on the lower surface side. The sticking means 17 is provided so as to be movable up and down via a cylinder device 18 or the like (not shown), and is conveyed to a lower position of the label sticking device 10 when the vacuum grit 35 is lowered while adsorbing the label L. A label L is affixed to the coming adherend 16, in this embodiment a tire.

  The collecting means 19 is located below the driving means 20 and has a guide part 37 that is an inclined surface that descends to the right in FIG. 1 and an arc that rises upward to the right of the guide part 37. The recovery bottom portion 38 is a surface, and the guide portion 37 and a winding guide 39 that is located above the recovery bottom portion 38 and forms a fixed recovery space C are formed. The winding guide 39 is provided so as to guide the recovered release material S in the winding direction and gradually wind the release material S in a spiral shape.

  The driving means 20 includes a driving roller 40 located in the upper part of the guide portion 37 and a pinch roller 41 in contact with the upper outer peripheral surface of the driving roller 40. The driving roller 40 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 21. When the driving roller 40 rotates, the label base material 11 is fed out from the storage means 12, and the release material S after the label L is peeled is removed. It can be sent out toward the collecting means 19.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a label detection body 43 for detecting the presence or absence of the label L is disposed on the peel plate 15 (peeling means). The label detector 43 includes a base 45 positioned around the rotation center axis 44, an arm 46 that extends above the peel plate 15 from the base 45 and contacts the label L, and an upright 48 that extends upward from the base 45. And is configured. As shown in FIG. 1, an extension part 50 is provided on the upper part of the standing part 48, and the presence or absence of the label L can be detected when the sensor 51 detects the shake of the extension part 50. Here, a substantially L-shaped pressing member 52 that sandwiches the label base material 11 between the arm plate 46 and the peel plate 15 and imparts a certain feeding resistance to the label base material 11 is disposed on the distal end side of the arm portion 46. Yes.

  A blowing means 55 is disposed on the pinch roller 41. The blowing means 55 is provided in a cylindrical shape, and a plurality of small holes (not shown) are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the blowing means 55 so that air can be blown from the small holes to the label holding surface 34 when the label L is fed. The label L adsorbed and held on the vacuum grit 35 can be adsorbed stably.

  Next, operation | movement of the label sticking apparatus 10 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated, referring also to FIG.

  In the initial setting operation, as shown in FIG. 4, the peel plate 15 is retreated to the retreat position B away from the sticking means 17 by rotating the outer end of the operation lever 30 upward. Then, the label base material 11 wound in a roll shape is put in the accommodating means 12, and the lead end thereof is led out to the guide portion 37 of the collecting means 19 through the drive roller 40 and the pinch roller 41, The operation lever 30 is rotated clockwise to move the peel plate 15 to the label peeling position A closest to the sticking means 17. Thereby, the label base material 11 is hung in a state where a predetermined tension is applied to the label base material 11, and the initial setting operation is completed.

  Next, when a power switch (not shown) is turned on, the drive roller 40 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 1 and feeds and feeds the label substrate 11. The label base material 11 is peeled by a direction change due to a sudden turn at the tip position of the peel plate 15 as a result of being given a constant tension by being sandwiched between the upper surface of the peel plate 15 and the pressing member 52. The labels L are peeled from the material S one by one. At this time, the presence or absence of the label L immediately before the application is detected by the label detector 43. Then, the peeled label L is sucked and held on the label holding surface 34 of the sticking means 17 while receiving the air pressure from the blowing means 55, and the sticking means 17 is lowered by the cylinder device 18 at a preset timing. The label L is affixed to the body 16.

  After the label L has been peeled off, the release material S passes through the guide portion 37 and is gradually wound along the inner shape of the recovery bottom portion 38 and the winding guide 39, but the recovery amount increases.

  In this way, when the label L is applied, the remaining amount of the label base material 11 in the storage unit 12 gradually decreases, and when the supply of the release material S to the recovery unit 19 is completed, the release material S is taken out from the recovery unit 19. Then, a new label base 11 may be set in the storage means 12.

  Therefore, according to such an embodiment, there is an effect that the setting of the label base material 11 and the recovery of the recovered release material S can be performed very easily and quickly. Further, the storage means is provided so as to be able to be accommodated in a state where the label base material is wound without using a winding core on the label base material, while the collecting means is a state where the release material is wound without using a winding core. Therefore, the label base material can be simply stored in the storage means, and the convenience of eliminating the conventional work of mounting on the rotating shaft can be obtained. Further, the label base material can be sequentially fed out by one driving means, and the release material can be accommodated in a state of being wound in the accommodating means. Therefore, the work for loading a new label base material can be easily performed, and the apparatus configuration can be simplified by not providing a rotating shaft for feeding and winding, resulting in a reduction in manufacturing cost. Furthermore, it becomes unnecessary to discard the winding core, and the problem of disposal processing can be solved.

  Further, the collecting means forms an arcuate collecting bottom part that rises continuously from a lower part of the driving means and that gradually rises from the lower part of the driving means, and forms a fixed collecting space at the upper part of the guide part and the collecting bottom part. Since it is constituted by the winding guide, it can be recovered in a state where the release material is naturally guided without difficulty. In addition, the release material can be spirally wound along the collection bottom and the inner surface of the winding guide, and the collection in a small collection space can be realized without irregular collection.

  In addition, since the peel plate that constitutes the peeling means is provided so as to be movable between the label peeling position and the position retracted from this position, a working space around the label base material can be secured, and the lead end of the label base material can be secured. The initial setting work to be drawn out to the collecting means side can be performed very easily and quickly. Therefore, even when the apparatus is downsized, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the initial setting of the label base material is difficult.

  Moreover, according to the structure provided with the spraying means which blows air toward the sticking means, the label can be reliably held by the sticking means.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various design changes can be made. For example, according to the correlation with the adherend 16, the moving direction of the sticking means 17 can be changed to an inclined direction or a lateral direction.
