  In the above-described conventional RFID label producing apparatus, a roll provided in an antenna medium supply apparatus (a roll in which a sheet provided with an antenna medium is wound) or a roll provided in a label attaching apparatus (a tape provided with an IC label) The roll around which the substrate is wound is a consumable item that is consumed with use and needs to be replaced. Therefore, in order to easily and easily replace these consumables, it is conceivable that these rolls are made into a cartridge in a lump, and when the roll is exhausted, the entire cartridge is replaced.

  However, in this case, when the RFID circuit element generated by sticking the IC circuit part and the antenna is transported in a narrow cartridge, the transport direction may have to be largely changed by, for example, a roller (= turning). ). Here, normally, a relatively small IC circuit unit is more rigid than a relatively large antenna, and when turning, for example, the antenna is located on the radially inner side and the IC circuit unit is located on the radially outer side. In this case, the antenna tends to follow and turn along the roller or the like relatively easily, whereas the IC circuit portion tends to hardly follow the roller or the like. As a result, a force that peels off the IC circuit portion from the antenna is generated during the turning, and the soundness and reliability of the completed tag label are lowered.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a cartridge for a tag label producing apparatus that can improve the soundness and reliability of a tag label of an IC circuit section, and a tag label producing apparatus using the same.

In order to achieve the above object, a first invention provides a tag tape having a plurality of RFID tag circuit elements each having an IC circuit portion for storing information and an antenna connected on one side of the IC circuit portion.

On the contrary, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a force that peels off the IC circuit unit from the antenna when turning, as in the case where the IC circuit unit is on the outer peripheral side and the connection part with the antenna is on the inner peripheral side. It is possible to improve the soundness and reliability of the completed tag label.
In addition, since the transport turning means is a pressure roller, the tag label tape with print can be produced by sticking to the tape to be printed after predetermined printing while turning the direction of the tag tape.

A first layer provided with an adhesive material to be attached to the object to be attached, and a second layer that covers the inner peripheral side of the first layer at the time of turning by the pressure roller and is peeled off at the time of attachment. It is characterized by being a laminated structure including.

  When a user affixes a tag label to an object to be attached, the first layer can be exposed by peeling off the second layer, and can be smoothly attached to the object by the adhesive material.

  According to a third invention, in any one of the first to second inventions, the tag tape of the tag tape roll is wound so that the IC circuit portion is on an inner peripheral side from a joint portion with the antenna. It is characterized by being.

  This suppresses the occurrence of a force that causes the IC circuit part to be peeled off from the antenna during winding, such as when the IC circuit part is on the outer peripheral side and the joint with the antenna is on the inner peripheral side. And the soundness and reliability of the completed tag label can be improved.

According to a fourth invention, in any one of the first to third inventions, the tag tape of the tag tape roll is located on an outer peripheral side of the RFID circuit element when the direction is changed by the pressure roller. It is a laminated structure further including a third layer provided with an adhesive for bonding to the printing tape.

  As a result, the tag label tape with print can be produced by sticking to the print-receiving tape via the third layer while turning the direction of the tag tape with the pressure roller.

According to a fifth invention, in any one of the first to fourth inventions, the tag tape is a connection end provided on a side of the IC circuit portion and the antenna that is connected to the IC circuit portion. And a protective film disposed so as to substantially cover a connection end portion of the IC circuit portion, the connection terminal, and the antenna, and the protective film. The IC circuit part and the connection terminal integrated via each other have rigidity higher than that of the antenna.

  Thereby, the IC circuit part and the connection terminal integrated with the protective film can be reliably protected and prevented from being destroyed.

In order to achieve the above object, a sixth invention provides a tag tape having a plurality of RFID circuit elements each having an IC circuit unit for storing information and an antenna connected to the IC circuit unit for transmitting and receiving information.

The tag tape roll and the transport turning means are arranged so that the antenna is on the outer peripheral side. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a force that causes the IC circuit portion to be peeled off from the antenna when turning, as in the case where the relatively small IC circuit portion is on the outer peripheral side and the relatively large antenna is on the inner peripheral side. Therefore, the soundness and reliability of the tag label tape and tag label with print can be improved.

As a result, on the contrary, the IC circuit portion 151 is on the outer peripheral side, and the antennas 152A and 152B are on the inner peripheral side (in other words, the connection portion P between the antennas 152A and 152B and the IC circuit portion 151 is on the inner peripheral side). When turning around, it is possible to suppress the force that causes the IC circuit unit 151 to be peeled off from the antennas 152A and 152B (conceptual diagram shown in FIG. 11), and the soundness and reliability of the completed RFID label T Can be improved. In addition, since the flexibility of the RFID circuit element To is improved as described above, it becomes easy to become familiar with the shape of the conveyance path when the pressure roller 107 is turned, and as a result, the running performance can be improved (running resistance can be reduced). There is also an effect.

  As shown in FIG. 3, also in the first roll 102, the IC circuit portion 151 having high rigidity is on the inner peripheral side, and the antennas 152A and 152B having low rigidity are on the outer peripheral side (in other words, the IC circuit portion 151 and the antennas 152A and 152B). The base tape 101 is wound so that the connecting portion P is on the outer peripheral side), whereby the RFID circuit element To tends to be substantially arcuate along the direction in which the base tape 101 is wound. As a result, the base tape 101 having a large number of RFID circuit elements To can be wound relatively easily, and if the number of turns is the same, the diameter of the first roll 102 is reduced and the cartridge 100 is reduced in size by saving space. In addition, the distance between the turns can be reduced, and if the diameter is the same, the number of turns to be wound can be increased and a large number of RFID circuit elements To can be arranged.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and technical idea of the present invention. Hereinafter, such modifications will be described.

(1) When bonding is not performed That is, as in the above-described embodiment, printing is performed on the cover film 103 different from the tag tape (base tape) 101 including the RFID circuit element To, and these are bonded together. Instead, this is a case where the present invention is applied to a cartridge for a tag label producing apparatus that prints on a cover film provided on a tag tape.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the detailed structure of the cartridge 100 ′ according to this modification, and corresponds to FIG. 3 described above. Components equivalent to those in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted as appropriate.

  In FIG. 12, a cartridge 100 'includes a first roll (thermal tape roll, tag tape roll) 102' around which a thermal tape 101 '(tag tape) is wound, and the thermal tape 101' toward the outside of the cartridge 100 '. It has a tape feed roller 107 'for feeding the tape and a transport turning roll 120 for transporting while greatly turning the transport direction of the thermal tape 101'.

  The first roll 102 'is wound around the reel member 102'a with the transparent heat-sensitive tape 101' in the form of a strip in which a plurality of the RFID tag circuit elements To are formed in the longitudinal direction.

  In this example, the heat-sensitive tape 101 'wound around the first roll 102' has a three-layer structure (see a partially enlarged view in FIG. 12), and the opposite side from the side wound outward (right side in FIG. 12). (Left side in FIG. 12) Cover film 101'a made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), adhesive layer (first layer) 101'b made of an appropriate adhesive, release paper (second Layer) 101′c in this order.

  The antennas 152A and 152B for transmitting and receiving information are integrally provided on the back side (the left side in FIG. 12) of the cover film 101′a, and information is connected via the connection terminals 159A and 159B so as to be connected thereto. The IC circuit portion 151 is stored, and the protective film 160 (IC protective film) is disposed so as to substantially cover the ends of the antennas 152A and 152B, the connection terminals 159A and 159B, and the IC circuit portion 151. Thus, the RFID circuit element To is configured.

  On the back side (the left side in FIG. 12) of the cover film 101'a, the release paper 101'c is adhered to the cover film 101'a by the adhesive layer 101'b provided so as to contain the RFID circuit element To. Has been. The release paper 101'c can be adhered to the product or the like by the adhesive layer 101'b when the RFID label T finally completed in a label shape is attached to a predetermined product or the like by peeling it off. It is what I did.

  When the cartridge 100 ′ is mounted on the cartridge holder portion of the tag label producing apparatus 2 and a roller holder (not shown) is moved from the separation position to the contact position, the thermal tape 101 ′ is moved between the print head 10 and the platen roller 108. In addition, it is held between the tape feed roller 107 ′ and the sub roller 109. As the tape feed roller drive shaft 12 is driven by the drive force of the cartridge motor 23 (see FIG. 2), the tape feed roller 107 ', the sub roller 109, and the platen roller 108 rotate in synchronization with each other, and the first roll 102 is rotated. The heat sensitive tape 101 ′ is fed out from ′ and is largely turned in the direction by the transport turning roll 120 and then supplied to the print head 10 side.

  In the print head 10, the plurality of heating elements are energized by the print drive circuit 25 (see FIG. 2), whereby the print is printed on the surface of the cover film 101a 'of the thermal tape 101', and the printed tag label tape 110 is printed. After being formed as ', it is carried out of the cartridge 100'. It goes without saying that printing using an ink ribbon as in the above-described embodiment may be used.

  After carrying out of the cartridge 100 ′, access (information reading / writing) to the RFID tag information via the antenna 14, conveyance by the sending roller 17, cutting by the cutter 15, etc. are the same as in the above embodiment. Description is omitted.

  In the above, the conveyance turning roll 120 turns the direction of the tag tape fed out from the tag tape roll, and guides it to the print head for performing predetermined printing on the outer peripheral surface of the tag tape when turning the direction. A 1st conveyance roll is comprised and a conveyance turning means is also comprised.

  Also in the cartridge 100 ′ of this modification, substantially the same effect as in the above embodiment is obtained.

  That is, when the thermal tape 101 ′ fed out from the first roll 102 ′ is turned by the transport turning roll 120, the IC circuit portion 151 is on the inner peripheral side, and the antennas 152 A and 152 B are on the outer peripheral side (in other words, with the IC circuit portion 151. Since the first roll 102 'and the transport turning roll 120 are arranged so that the connection portion P with the antennas 152A and 152B is on the outer peripheral side), the IC circuit portion 151 is peeled off from the antennas 152A and 152B during turning. Generation of such a force can be suppressed, the soundness and reliability of the completed RFID label T can be improved, and the traveling property during the direction turning of the transport diverting roll 120 can be improved (the traveling resistance can be reduced). ). Further, the diameter of the first roll 102 'can be reduced, and the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  In the above, printing is performed by contacting the cover film 101'a from the outside of the cartridge with the print head 10, but this is not restrictive, and printing is performed from the inside of the cartridge as in the above-described embodiment. (However, it is not a mirror character as will be described later.) FIG. 13 is an explanatory view for explaining the detailed structure of the cartridge 100 ″ in such a modification, and corresponds to FIG. 12 described above. The same reference numerals are used for the same parts as FIG. 3 and FIG. The description is omitted as appropriate.

  In FIG. 13, a cartridge 100 ″ includes a first roll (thermal tape roll, tag tape roll) 102 ″ around which a thermal tape 101 ″ (tag tape) is wound, and the thermal tape 101 ″ in the outward direction of the cartridge 100 ″. The tape feeding roller 107 ′ for feeding the tape and the conveyance turning roll 120 for conveying the thermal sensitive tape 101 ″ while largely changing the conveyance direction are provided.

  The first roll 102 ″ is wound around the reel member 102 ″ a with the transparent heat-sensitive tape 101 ″ having a strip shape in which a plurality of the RFID circuit elements To are sequentially formed in the longitudinal direction.

  In this example, the heat-sensitive tape 101 ″ wound around the first roll 102 ″ has a three-layer structure (see a partially enlarged view in FIG. 13), and is opposite to the side wound outward (right side in FIG. 13). (Left side in FIG. 13) From release paper (fifth layer) 101 ″ a, sticking adhesive layer (fourth layer) 101 ″ b made of an appropriate adhesive, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), etc. The cover films 101 ″ c are laminated in this order.

  The IC circuit portion 151 is integrally provided on the back side (the right side in FIG. 13) of the cover film 101 ″ c, and information is transmitted and received through the connection terminals 159A and 159B so as to be connected thereto. The antennas 152A and 152B are formed, and the protective film 160 (IC protective film) is disposed so as to substantially cover the ends of the antennas 152A and 152B, the connection terminals 159A and 159B, and the IC circuit unit 151. An element To is configured.

  On the back side (right side in FIG. 13) of the cover film 101 ″ c, the release paper 101 ″ a is adhered to the cover film 101 ″ c by the adhesive layer 101 ″ b provided so as to contain the RFID circuit element To. Has been. The release paper 101 ″ a can be adhered to the product or the like by the adhesive layer 101 ″ b by peeling off the RFID label T that is finally finished in a label shape when the product is attached to the product or the like. It is what I did.

  When the cartridge 100 ″ is mounted on the cartridge holder portion of the tag label producing apparatus 2 and a roller holder (not shown) is moved from the separation position to the contact position, the thermal tape 101 ″ is moved between the print head 10 and the platen roller 108. In addition, it is held between the tape feed roller 107 ′ and the sub roller 109. As the tape feed roller drive shaft 12 is driven by the drive force of the cartridge motor 23 (see FIG. 2), the tape feed roller 107 ', the sub roller 109, and the platen roller 108 rotate in synchronization with each other, and the first roll 102 is rotated. The thermal tape 101 "is fed out from" "and is largely turned in the direction by the transport turning roll 120 and then supplied to the print head 10 side.

  In the print head 10, a plurality of heat generating elements are energized by the print drive circuit 25 (see FIG. 2), whereby the print is printed on the surface of the cover film 101 ″ c of the thermal tape 101 ″, and the tag label tape with print is printed. After being formed as 110 ″, it is carried out of the cartridge 100 ″. It goes without saying that printing using an ink ribbon as in the above-described embodiment may be used.

  After being carried out of the cartridge 100 ″, access to the RFID tag information (information reading / writing) via the antenna 14 described above, conveyance by the sending roller 17, cutting by the cutter 15 and the like are the same as in the above embodiment. Description is omitted.

  In the above, while the conveyance turning roll 120 turns the direction of the tag tape fed out from the tag tape roll, to the print head for performing predetermined printing on the inner peripheral surface of the tag tape when turning the direction. The 2nd conveyance roll to guide is comprised and a conveyance turning means is also comprised.

  Also in the cartridge 100 ″ of the modified example shown in FIG. 13, the same effects as those of the above embodiment and the modified example shown in FIG. 12 are obtained.

  That is, when the heat-sensitive tape 101 ″ fed out from the first roll 102 ″ is turned by the transport turning roll 120, the IC circuit portion 151 is on the inner peripheral side, and the antennas 152A and 152B are on the outer peripheral side (in other words, with the IC circuit portion 151 Since the first roll 102 ″ and the transport turning roll 120 are arranged so that the connection portion P to the antennas 152A and 152B is on the outer peripheral side), the IC circuit portion 151 is peeled off from the antennas 152A and 152B during turning. Generation of such a force can be suppressed, the soundness and reliability of the completed RFID label T can be improved, and the traveling property during the direction turning of the transport diverting roll 120 can be improved (the traveling resistance can be reduced). Further, the diameter of the first roll 102 ″ can be reduced, and the same effect as described above can be obtained.

(2) When creating a variable-length label by inserting a tag In this modified example, the RFID circuit elements To are arranged at predetermined intervals on the base tape as in the above-described embodiment and the modified examples in FIGS. Instead of creating a fixed-length tag label T using this, the RFID circuit element To is inserted at a predetermined timing between the base tape to be bonded and the cover film, so that the printing character length can be determined. A variable-length RFID tag T is created. The same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those in the above embodiment and the modified example, and the description will be omitted as appropriate.

  FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the detailed structure of the cartridge 300 and its periphery according to this modification.

  In FIG. 14, a cartridge 300 includes a casing 300A and a strip-shaped base tape (tag tape) that is disposed in the casing 300A and is similar to the base tape (or heat-sensitive tape) 101, 101 ′, 101 ″. A first roll (tag tape roll) 302 wound with 301 and a transparent cover film (printed tape) 303 having the same width as the base tape 301 as in the case of the cover film 103 were wound. A second roll (printed tape roll) 304, a third roll 315 wound with an intermediate tape 312 made of, for example, a white material, and an ink ribbon 305 (thermal transfer ribbon similar to the ink ribbon 105, except that the cover film is heat sensitive) Ribbon winding for winding the ink ribbon 305 after printing and the ribbon supply side roll 311 for feeding out the tape) The label 306, the base tape 301 and the intermediate tape 312 with the RFID circuit element To interposed therebetween, and the cover film 303 are pressed and bonded together to form the printed tag label tape 310 with an arrow A. It has a pressure roller (conveyance turning means) 307 similar to the pressure roller 107 that feeds the tape in the direction shown.

  The first roll 302 has the base tape 301 wound around the reel member 302a, the second roll 304 has the cover film 303 wound around the reel member 304a, and the third roll 315 has the reel member 315a. The intermediate tape 312 is wound around.

  The base tape 301 has a four-layer structure in this example, and the intermediate tape 312 has a three-layer structure in this example across the RFID circuit element To (see a partially enlarged view in FIG. 14).

  That is, the base tape 301 is a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (third layer) made of an appropriate adhesive material from the side wound on the outer side (left side in FIG. 14) to the opposite side (right side in FIG. 14). 301a, a colored base film 301b made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), an adhesive layer (first layer) 301c to which an appropriate adhesive is added, and a release paper (second layer) 301d are laminated in this order. It is configured.

  The intermediate tape 312 has a three-layer structure in this example, and is an adhesive layer made of an appropriate adhesive material from the side wound inside (left side in FIG. 3) to the opposite side (right side in FIG. 3). 312a, a white film 312b made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or the like, and an adhesive layer 312c to which an appropriate adhesive material is added are laminated in this order.

  At this time, the adhesive layer 301a of the base tape 301 and the adhesive layer 312c of the intermediate tape 312 serve to hold the RFID circuit element To while interposing it. Note that the adhesive layer 312c may be omitted as appropriate as long as the insertion and retention of the RFID circuit element To can be secured. Further, the release paper 301d of the base tape 301 is adhered to the back side (right side in FIG. 3) of the base film 301b via the adhesive layer 301c, and the RFID label T finally completed in a label shape is a predetermined product or the like. When it is affixed to the product, it is peeled off so that it can be adhered to the product or the like by the adhesive layer 301c.

  As described above, the RFID circuit element To is composed of an antenna 152 that transmits and receives information and an IC circuit unit 151 that is connected to the antenna 152 and stores information. In this example, the tag cartridge 314 is pressed and urged toward the outlet side by a spring 316 and is stacked in a flat manner in this example. The insertion drive shaft 313 (or an appropriate roller means fixed thereto) may be Each one is taken out of the cartridge 314. Then, it is inserted and held sequentially between the adhesive layer 301 a of the base tape 301 and the adhesive layer 312 c of the intermediate tape 312.

  As a result, a laminated structure is formed between the base tape adhesive layer 301a and the intermediate tape adhesive layer 312c, in which a plurality of RFID circuit elements To are sequentially included and arranged at predetermined equal intervals in the tape longitudinal direction. It becomes.

  On the other hand, the cover film 303 fed out from the second roll 304 is ink driven by a ribbon supply side roll 311 and a ribbon take-up roller 306 arranged on the back side thereof (that is, the side to be bonded to the base tape 301). By pressing the ribbon 305 against the print head 10, the ink ribbon 305 is brought into contact with the back surface of the cover film 303. The ribbon take-up roller 306 and the pressure roller 307 are driven by the driving force of the cartridge motor 23 (see FIG. 2 described above), for example, a pulse motor provided outside the cartridge 300. By being transmitted to the roller drive shaft 12, it is rotationally driven.

  In the cartridge 300 having the above configuration, the RFID circuit element To discharged from the tag cartridge 314 is interposed between the base tape 301 fed out from the first roll 302 and the intermediate tape 312 fed out from the third roll 315. Are sequentially inserted and held, and are supplied to the pressure roller 307 in this state (hereinafter referred to as tag inclusion tape bodies 301 and 312 as appropriate). On the other hand, the cover film 303 fed out from the second roll 304 is brought into contact with the ink ribbon 305 on the back surface side by pressing the print head 10 as described above. When the cartridge 300 is mounted on the cartridge holder portion of the apparatus main body 8 and a roll holder (not shown) is moved from the separation position to the contact position, the cover film 303 and the ink ribbon 305 are moved to the print head 10 and the platen roller. The tag inclusion tape bodies 301 and 312 and the cover film 303 are sandwiched between the pressure roller 307 and the sub-roller 109. The ribbon take-up roller 306 and the pressure roller 307 are driven to rotate in synchronization with the directions indicated by the arrows B and D by the driving force of the cartridge motor 23. At this time, the pressure roller driving shaft 12 is connected to the sub roller 109 and the platen roller 108 by a gear (not shown). As the pressure roller driving shaft 12 is driven, the pressure roller 307, the sub roller 109, and the platen roller are driven. The roller 108 rotates, and the base tape 301 and the intermediate tape 312 are fed out from the first roll 302 and the third roll 315, and are supplied to the pressure roller 307 as the tag inclusion tape bodies 301 and 312 as described above. On the other hand, the cover film 303 is fed out from the second roll 304, and the plurality of heating elements of the print head 10 are energized by the print drive circuit 25. As a result, a predetermined print R is printed on the back surface of the cover film 303. Then, the tag-encapsulating tape bodies 301 and 312 and the cover film 303 after printing are bonded and integrated by the pressure roller 307 and the sub-roller 109 to form a tag label tape 310 with print, and to the outside of the cartridge 300. It is carried out. The ink ribbon 305 that has finished printing on the cover film 303 is taken up by the ribbon take-up roller 306 by driving the ribbon take-up roller drive shaft 11.

  Also in the cartridge 300 of the present modification, substantially the same effect as in the above embodiment is obtained.

  That is, the RFID circuit element To is inserted between the base tape 301 fed out from the first roll 302 and the intermediate tape 312 fed out from the intermediate roll 315, and is attached to the pressure roller 307 as tag inclusion tape bodies 301 and 312. When supplied and turned by the pressure roller 307, the IC circuit portion 151 is on the inner peripheral side and the antennas 152A and 152B are on the outer peripheral side (in other words, the connection portion P between the IC circuit portion 151 and the antennas 152A and 152B is A first roll 302, an intermediate roll 315, a tag cartridge 314, and a pressure roller 307 are arranged so as to be on the outer peripheral side. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a force that causes the IC circuit unit 151 to be peeled off from the antennas 152A and 152B at the time of turning, improve the soundness and reliability of the completed RFID label T, and press rollers It is possible to improve the running performance at the time of turning 307 (running resistance can be reduced). Further, the diameter of the first roll 302 can be reduced, and the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  In the above description, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 10 and the like, the case where the IC circuit unit 151 and the antennas 152A and 152B are arranged in a layered manner on the inner peripheral side and the outer peripheral side has been described as an example. Absent. That is, as shown in FIG. 15 corresponding to FIG. 10, the antennas 152A ′ and 152B ′ are located not only on the outer peripheral side of the IC circuit unit 151 but also on the outer side of the edge thereof so as to cover the IC circuit unit 151. It may be arranged. Also in this case, since the connection portion (joint portion) P between the IC circuit portion 151 and the antennas 152A ′ and 152B ′ is located on the outer peripheral side with respect to the IC circuit portion 151, the same effect as described above is obtained.

  Further, it is assumed that the “Scroll All ID” signal, “Erase” signal, “Verify” signal, and “Program” signal used in the above conform to the Auto-ID specification established by EPC global. EPC global is a non-profit corporation established jointly by the International EAN Association, which is an international organization of distribution codes, and the United Code Code Council (UCC), which is an American distribution code organization. Note that signals conforming to other standards may be used as long as they perform the same function.

  In addition, although not illustrated one by one, the present invention is implemented with various modifications within a range not departing from the gist thereof.
