  Conventionally, there is a pasting device that peels off films, stickers, etc., which are placed side by side on a continuous sheet-like mount (release paper) from the mount, and continuously sticks them to a predetermined position of a workpiece such as a product to be pasted. Various developments have been made. Since these films and sheets are sufficiently thin in the thickness of the laminated base material and adhesive material layer, rolls are set in advance in the pasting device, and the product as a workpiece (adhered body) is predetermined. It is possible to affix continuously to the position.

  However, there are various types of molded parts such as synthetic rubber sheets and resin sponge members having a thickness of several millimeters. These molded parts are used, for example, as packings and cushion materials in small products such as mobile phones. In a normal pasting operation, as shown in FIG. 7, a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 51 as a mount is previously pasted on the back surface of the molded part 50, pressed into a predetermined shape, and a plurality of pieces are placed on the half-cut mount 52. A component sheet 53 with a mount 52 in which the molded components P are arranged vertically and horizontally is provided. In order to attach such a molded part P to a predetermined position of a workpiece as a product, an operator mounts the component sheet 53 using tweezers or the like as shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b).

  As shown in FIG. 1, the supply reel 3 of the main body 1 </ b> A is detachably attached to a rotation support shaft 3 a formed at the upper end of an arm 8 attached so as to project outward from the main body device. It has become. On the supply reel 3, a roll-shaped pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10 is mounted on the rotation support shaft 3a. On the other hand, a rotation support shaft 4a projects from the central side surface of the main body 1A, and the take-up reel 4 is detachably mounted on the rotation support shaft 4a. Each of the rotation support shafts 3a and 4a is controlled to be rotatable in synchronization by a drive motor (not shown) that can be adjusted to a rotation speed corresponding to the winding amount by an operation control unit (not shown). ing.

  The pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10 is thus laid over the movement path between the supply reel 3 and the take-up reel 4 and guided to the adhesive material transfer unit 20 via the plurality of rollers 30, and the adhesive material 12 is transferred. The mounted sheet 10 b after being wound is wound around the take-up reel 4 by the feed roller 31 and the guide roller 32.

  The configuration of the adhesive material transfer unit 20 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, the adhesive material transfer portion 20 includes a peeling edge 21 made of a stainless steel manifold having a sharp tip when viewed from the side in this embodiment. The peeling edge 21 has a side surface shape having an acute angle portion that forms an angle (for example, 30 °) with the horizontal upper surface being the tip side. At this time, the tip 21a is rounded. For this reason, even when the pressure-sensitive transfer pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 10 is bent at the tip end with a predetermined tension applied, it does not tear or break. In addition, as a material of the peeling edge 21 part, the material which can carry out smooth surface processing, such as special steel, aluminum, ceramics other than stainless steel, and the material excellent in abrasion resistance is preferable.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, round pores 22 penetrating the surface are drilled at predetermined intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions in the peeling edge 21, and all the round pores 22 communicate with each other. The holes are aggregated and communicated with the horizontal suction hole 23 and connected to a vacuum device (not shown).

  The sticking head 15 is a movable head having a suction surface 15a (FIG. 3 (a)) formed at the tip (lower surface). In this embodiment, the sticking head 15 is installed on the ceiling 16 in the main unit as shown in FIG. The servomotor is driven along a horizontal linear guide (not shown) that moves in the direction of the horizontal arrow with high accuracy, and can be extended and contracted in the direction of the vertical arrow by the suspension rod 17. It is possible to move between the adhesive material transfer unit 20 and the pasting stage 6 with high accuracy by a predetermined control routine.

  Here, the characteristics of the pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10 used in the present invention will be briefly described. In the pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10, it is preferable to use a resin sheet made of a material that can effectively obtain a peeling action of an adhesive material such as polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride for the base material 11. The tape width may be determined according to the dimensions of the molded part P, but it is preferable to make the tape width such that the adhesive material 12 can be uniformly transferred to the sticking surface of the molded part P and the loss after transfer is small. . As the adhesive material 12 applied to the substrate 11, a general acrylic adhesive material is preferable, and various known printing methods can be used to form a dot pattern on the substrate 11. The dot diameter and height of the dot pattern is set to several tens of μm to 1 mm, etc., and the planar shape can be selected from other shapes such as ◇ in addition to ○, and the dot spacing is also pressure sensitive transfer adhesive tape It is preferable to set appropriately from the relationship with the occupied area per unit area of 10 and the relationship with the dot diameter.

Here, with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 3 (a)-(d), the continuous sticking method of the molded component P using the pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10 is demonstrated.
The molded part P is cut and processed into a predetermined shape that can be pasted, supplied into a known part feeder 1B (see FIG. 1), passed through a predetermined alignment mechanism (not shown) in the part feeder 1B, and taken out. 5 are aligned in a state where their orientations are aligned. Then, the sticking head 15 moves to the take-out port 5, and the molded part P is held at a predetermined position on the lower surface of the sticking head 15 by a predetermined holding mechanism. In this embodiment, a vacuum suction surface 15 a is formed on the lower surface as a holding mechanism for the sticking head 15. As a holding mechanism for the sticking head 15, a mechanically known gripping mechanism such as a suction mechanism by vacuuming or various shapes of chucks can be appropriately employed as the holding mechanism. At this time, when the molded part P to be held is a soft part, it is preferable to employ a holding mechanism suitable for the material of the object so as not to damage the part.

  In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which the adhesive material 12 is transferred to the attachment surface 55a of the plate 55, which is the synthetic resin molded product shown in FIG. FIG. 3A shows that the sticking head 15 having the plate 55 adsorbed on the lower surface reaches the position immediately before the peeling edge 21 of the adhesive transfer portion 20 and presses against the adhesive material surface 12 (FIG. 1) of the pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10. The state is shown. At this time, the pressure-sensitive transfer pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 10 is fixed by suction negative pressure supplied from the supply reel 3 to the position of the peeling edge 21 where the new adhesive material 12 is applied to the peeling edge 21 ( FIG. 3 (b)). And the sticking head 15 descend | falls and the pressure sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10 of the peeling edge 21 position is pressed by the sticking surface 55a of the plate 55. FIG. By this pressing force, only the range of the sticking surface 50 of the plate 55 is transferred to the individual dot-like adhesive material 12 of the dot pattern on the pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10. Thereafter, the negative pressure is reduced and the pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10 is prevented from being lifted, and the backing sheet 10b is wound up on the peeling edge 21 side and synchronized with the winding speed on the peeling edge 21. As shown in FIGS. 3C and 3D, the sticking head 15 is moved horizontally in the direction of the arrow. As a result, the plate 55 having the dot pattern adhesive material 12 transferred to the sticking surface 55a moves to the sticking stage 6 (FIG. 1). In this pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10, the adhesive force between the adhesive material 12 forming the dot pattern and the mount tape 10b is greater than the adhesive force between the molded part P (the attachment surface 55a of the plate 55). It is set to be smaller.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the sticking head 15 advances along a conveyance path (such as a linear guide) to the sticking stage 6 on which the work 7 to be stuck is placed with the plate 55 held on the lower surface. To do. Then, the sticking head 15 reaches the position of the work 7 on the sticking stage 6, positioning of the plate 55 held on the lower surface of the head and the sticking position of the work 7 is completed, and the sticking surface 55 a of the plate 55 is pressed against the work 7. Thus, the plate 55 is attached to the target position of the workpiece 7. Thereafter, the pasting head 15 moves to a fixed position of the component take-out port 5 of the component feeder 1B through the conveyance path, and one cycle is completed.

  FIG. 4 shows the pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10 viewed in the direction of the white arrow in FIG. In this way, the pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10 has the dot pattern adhesive 12 corresponding to the area of the molded part P (plate 55) continuously transferred from the dot pattern adhesive surface formed on the entire surface, and after the transfer. It is wound up on a take-up reel 4 (FIG. 1). FIG. 5 shows the dot pattern surface of the pressure-sensitive transfer pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 10 after transfer when the molded part P or the like having a different shape is continuously attached to the work 7 (reference marks indicating the transfer of the adhesive material 12). It is explanatory drawing which showed typically. In this manner, the dot pattern of the pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10 can transfer the dot pattern adhesive 12 over the entire transfer surface range, regardless of the shape of the transfer surface (sticking surface) of the molded part P. Therefore, by supplying the molded part P having a different shape by the switching means (not shown) provided in the part feeder 1B, the sticking head 15 can have a round shape (13a) and a rectangular shape (13a) as shown in FIG. 13b) The molded parts P of the pressure sensitive transfer pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 10 are applied to the sticking surface of the molded part P by moving the molded parts P alternately and continuously and depending on the shape of each part at the peeling edge 21 position. Can be transferred.

  6A and 6B, as another embodiment, the adhesive base material 42 having a slightly smaller area than the sticking surface of the molded part P is left by laser cutting so that only the mount 41 side remains with respect to the double-sided tape 40. The double-sided tape 40 processed by a machine (not shown) is stretched over the transfer edge 21 and stopped so that the half-cut position comes to a predetermined transfer position. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the molded part P on the lower surface of the sticking head 15 is pressed (FIGS. 6A and 6B). Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 6C and 6D, the double-sided tape 40 is synchronously wound and the horizontal movement of the sticking head 15 in the direction of the arrow is performed in the same manner as described above. Forty adhesive material bases 42 are transferred to the sticking surface of the molded part P. In the case of the present embodiment, it is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the positioning mechanism in order to transfer the adhesive base material 42 half-cut to the double-sided tape 40 to the lower surface of the molded part P with high accuracy. On the other hand, when transferring the dot pattern adhesive material 12 of the pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10 described above, the transfer surface only needs to be positioned within the width of the pressure-sensitive transfer adhesive tape 10. There is an advantage that problems such as these hardly occur.
