Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
However, as described above, when the communication tag is fixed to a product by an adhesive, the adhesive is attached to the communication tag. Therefore, particularly in the case where the communication tag is firmly fixed to the product by the adhesive, the communication tag and the adhesive may become inseparable. Therefore, the communication tag cannot be reused.
In addition, as described above, in the case where the communication tag having the adhesive is fixed to the release layer, the communication tag cannot be firmly fixed to the release layer. Therefore, the communication tag is easily peeled off from the product. Further, if the communication tag cannot be firmly fixed to the release layer, the position of the communication tag relative to the wireless communication unit that performs wireless communication with the communication tag is likely to vary, and therefore, it is difficult to apply the communication tag to a communication tag that requires positional accuracy.
An object of the present invention is to provide a labeled product and a method of fixing a communication tag, which can reuse a communication tag that is firmly fixed.
Means for solving the problems
In one aspect, a labeled product includes: a communication tag; an adhesive for fixing the communication tag to a fixed portion; and a release agent located between the communication tag and the adhesive.
In another mode, a method for fixing a communication tag includes the steps of: configuring a communication tag at a fixed part of a product; applying a release agent on the communication label; and fixing the communication tag to the fixed portion by supplying the adhesive so that the release agent is interposed between the adhesive and the communication tag.
Effects of the invention
According to this aspect, the communication tag that is firmly fixed can be reused.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, an example of a tagged product having a communication tag 20 and a method of fixing a communication tag according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, using the ink cartridge 1 as an example.
Fig. 1 is a sectional view showing a communication tag 20 fixed to a recess 11 of an ink cartridge 1.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the ink cartridge 1.
The ink cartridge 1 shown in fig. 2 includes a case 10 and an ink tank, not shown, housed in the case 10. As shown in fig. 1, the ink cartridge 1 further includes a communication tag 20, a release agent 30, and an adhesive 40.
Here, the ink cartridge 1 is an example of a labeled product provided with the communication tag 20. The labeled product may be a consumable for a printing apparatus other than the ink cartridge 1, such as a toner cartridge for storing toner, and a stencil sheet (master) for stencil printing. The product with a label may be a consumable product other than a consumable product for a printing apparatus or a product other than a consumable product.
As shown in fig. 1, a recess 11 (shown by a dotted line as a hidden line in fig. 2) for accommodating the communication tag 20 is provided on the inner surface of the housing 10. The recess 11 is preferably provided in the vicinity of a wireless communication unit disposed in a device such as a printing apparatus described later for communication between the wireless communication unit and the communication tag 20. An example of the shape of the concave portion 11 is a circular hole having a circular cross-sectional shape parallel to the surface on which the concave portion 11 is formed. The case 10 is an example of an adherend to which the communication tag 20 is fixed.
The recess 11 is an example of a fixed portion to which the communication tag 20 is fixed. The fixed portion may be a flat portion or the like where the recess 11 is not provided, but is preferably the recess 11 that accommodates the communication tag 20.
Further, the communication tag 20 is fixed inside the ink cartridge 1 (the casing 10) as described above, but may be fixed so as to be exposed to the outside of the ink cartridge 1 (the casing 10).
The housing 10 is provided with an ink supply port 12. The ink in the ink tank is supplied from the ink supply port 12 to the printing apparatus.
The communication tag 20 shown in fig. 1 is, for example, an RFID tag, and communicates with a wireless communication unit of a device such as a printing apparatus in a non-contact manner. For example, the wireless communication unit disposed in the printing apparatus reads and writes information of the ink cartridge 1, and the information of the ink cartridge 1 is stored in a storage unit (for example, a nonvolatile memory), not shown, of the communication tag 20. The communication method between the communication tag 20 and the wireless communication unit is, for example, a passive method, but may be an active method or a semi-active method.
The information on the ink cartridge 1 preferably includes at least one of compatibility information (information for specifying the type of a suitable printing apparatus), ink color information (color information of ink filled in the ink tank), expiration date information (information indicating the expiration date of product guarantee estimated from the date and year of manufacture of the ink cartridge 1), remaining ink amount information (information indicating the remaining amount of ink estimated by subtracting the amount of ink used from the total amount of ink filled in the ink tank), empty information (information indicating that the ink tank is empty when the amount of ink in the ink tank becomes a predetermined amount or less), protection information (information for distinguishing between a suitable item and a non-suitable item and preventing a failure of the printing apparatus due to the use of the non-suitable item), reuse information (information indicating the number of times of reuse of each member constituting the ink cartridge 1 such as the ink tank), and the like, Traceable information (information of a manufacturer's factory, a sales outlet (business place)), and the like.
The communication tag 20 has a substrate 21 and a protective layer 22. The communication tag 20 has a square thin plate shape with a thickness of 1mm, a length of 10mm, and a width of 10mm or less, as an example.
A circuit including an antenna is provided on the surface of the substrate 21 opposite to the protective layer 22 (the bottom surface side of the recess 11).
The protective layer 22 is a layer for protecting the substrate 21, and is made of, for example, resin.
The communication tag 20 may have any configuration, and the communication tag 20 is not limited to having the substrate 21 and the protective layer 22.
The release agent 30 is located between the communication tag 20 and the adhesive 40. The release agent 30 is used to facilitate the release of the communication tag 20 and the adhesive 40, and is, for example, a silicone resin.
The adhesive 40 is used to fix the communication tag 20 to the recess 11, and is supplied in an amount such that the adhesive does not overflow from the recess 11, for example. Note that, if the surface of the adhesive 40 is locally raised, the adhesive 40 can be easily taken out from the recessed portion 11 by, for example, a human jig or by hand.
The adhesive 40 is preferably a hot melt adhesive, for example, an EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer) hot melt adhesive, a PO (polyolefin) hot melt adhesive, a PA (polyamide) hot melt adhesive, an SR (synthetic rubber) hot melt adhesive, an ACR (acrylic) hot melt adhesive, a PUR (polyurethane) hot melt adhesive, or the like. However, the adhesive 40 may be other adhesives such as a light-curable resin and a moisture-curable resin. The adhesive 40 may be a tacky part used as a part of a label sticker or the like, but cost reduction can also be achieved by using the adhesive 40 alone.
Next, a method of fixing the communication tag 20 will be described.
Fig. 3 is a process diagram for explaining a method of fixing the communication tag 20.
Fig. 4A to 4C are sectional views for explaining a method of fixing the communication tag 20.
The respective steps (steps S1 to S3) shown in fig. 3 may be performed by a single apparatus (fixing apparatus), or may be performed by different apparatuses for each step.
As shown in fig. 3, first, the communication tag 20 is disposed in the recess 11 of the case 10 (step S1).
For example, as shown in fig. 4A, the communication tag 20 is disposed in the center of the recess 11 such that the substrate 21 is located on the bottom surface side of the recess 11.
Next, the release agent 30 is applied on the communication label 20 (step S2).
For example, as shown in fig. 4B, when the surface tension of the release agent 30 is low, the release agent 30 is applied to a surface (upper surface) of the communication tag 20 exposed to the outside of the recess 11, and may drip on the side surface of the communication tag 20. This can completely prevent the adhesive 40 from adhering to the communication tag 20.
The step of applying the release agent 30 (step S2) may be performed before the step of disposing the communication tag 20 (step S1).
Next, the adhesive 40 is supplied so that the release agent 30 is interposed between the adhesive 40 and the communication tag 20, whereby the communication tag 20 is fixed to the recess 11 (step S3).
For example, as shown in fig. 4C, the adhesive 40 is supplied so as to cover the communication tag 20 and the release agent 30 and adhere to the recess 11 (e.g., the bottom surface, the side surface, etc. of the recess 11). The adhesive 40 preferably does not overflow from the concave portion 11, but as described above, in the case where the surface of the adhesive 40 is locally raised, the raised portion may also overflow from the concave portion 11.
Fig. 5A and 5B are cross-sectional views for explaining a method of peeling off the communication tag 20.
As shown in fig. 5A, when the adhesive 40 is taken out of the recess 11 by, for example, a jig or bare hand, the communication tag 20 is taken out of the recess 11 together with the release agent 30 and the adhesive 40.
Thereafter, as shown in fig. 5B, the communication tag 20 is peeled off from the peeling agent 30, for example, by a human jig or by bare hands. This allows the communication tag 20 to be taken out without the release agent 30 and the adhesive 40 being attached. Therefore, the communication tag 20 can be reused.
As shown in fig. 5A, when the adhesive 40 is taken out of the recess 11, only the communication tag 20 or both the communication tag 20 and the release agent 30 may remain in the recess 1. In this case, by taking out the communication tag 20 from the recess 11 or peeling the communication tag 20 from the release agent 30, the communication tag 20 can be taken out without the release agent 30 and the adhesive 40 being attached.
In the present embodiment described above, the ink cartridge 1, which is an example of a product with a label, includes: a communication tag 20; an adhesive 40 for fixing the communication tag 20 to the recess 11 as an example of a fixed portion; and a release agent 30 located between the communication tag 20 and the adhesive 40.
In another aspect, the method for fixing the communication tag 20 includes the steps of: disposing a communication tag 20 in a recess 11 of an ink cartridge 1 (step S1 shown in fig. 3), wherein the ink cartridge 1 is an example of a product, and the recess 11 is an example of a fixed portion of the ink cartridge 1; applying a release agent 30 on the communication label 20 (step S2); and fixing the communication tag 20 to the recess 11 by supplying the adhesive 40 so that the release agent 30 is interposed between the adhesive 40 and the communication tag 20 (step S3).
Since the release agent 30 is located between the communication tag 20 and the adhesive 40 in this way, the adhesive 40 is easily released when the communication tag 20 is removed from the ink cartridge 1. Therefore, even if the adhesive 40 that firmly fixes the communication tag 20 is used, the communication tag 20 can be peeled off from the adhesive 40. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the communication tag 20 that is firmly fixed can be reused. Further, by supplying the adhesive 40 so that the adhesive 40 covers the communication tag 20, the communication tag 20 can be protected. This can prevent the communication tag 20 from being damaged or caught by a human hand.
In the present embodiment, the fixed portion to which the communication tag 20 is fixed is the recess 11, and the communication tag 20 is housed in the recess 11.
This enables the fixing position of the communication tag 20 to be positioned in the recess 11. Therefore, the positional accuracy after the communication tag 20 is fixed can be improved, and the communication accuracy between the communication tag 20 and the wireless communication unit can be improved. Further, since the communication tag 20, the release agent 30, and the adhesive 40 are held in the recess 11, the communication tag 20 can be firmly fixed.
The present invention is not limited to the original form of the above-described embodiment, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements in the implementation stage within the scope not departing from the gist thereof. In addition, various inventions can be formed by appropriate combinations of a plurality of constituent elements disclosed in the above embodiments. For example, all the constituent elements shown in the embodiments may be appropriately combined. As described above, it is needless to say that various modifications and applications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Hereinafter, the invention described in the technical means at the time of filing the present application will be noted.
