Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus, a method and a computer program for producing stickers.
  • a user can select a product such as a shower gel or sunscreen over the Internet and design a pattern that the product should be provided with to personalize the product.
  • the product selection, together with the designed pattern, is transmitted to a print shop, in which the pattern designed by the user is printed on an adhesive film.
  • An employee of the print shop takes the printed adhesive film from the printer and places it in a cutting device.
  • the operator also adjusts the printed adhesive sheet in the cutter before the cutter cuts along the outline of the printed pattern to create a sticker.
  • the employee then sticks the generated label on the selected product, after which the selected product is mailed to the user.
  • US6 408 132 B1 shows a device for producing stickers with a printer and a cutting device.
  • the stickers can have cutting errors, which are due in particular to the adjustment required by the employee, which can reduce the quality of the stickers.
  • the device accordingly comprises a printer, a transfer device and a cutting device, the printer printing on the adhesive film, after which the transfer device automatically guides the adhesive film to the cutting device in which the adhesive film is cut along the cutting pattern in order to produce the sticker. Since the orientation of the adhesive film within the cutting device is known from the automatic transfer of the printed adhesive film from the printer to the cutting device, manual adjustment of the adhesive film within the cutting device is not absolutely necessary, which leads to a reduced susceptibility to errors, that is to say a reduced likelihood of inaccurate cuts, which can lead to better quality stickers.
  • the input device, the pattern generating device, the printer, the transfer device and the cutting device are integrated in the same device for producing stickers.
  • the user can therefore make entries into the device directly, for example, in a self-service area (self-service area) of a drugstore, after which the pattern generation device generates the pattern based on the user inputs, the printer prints the generated pattern on the adhesive film, and the printed adhesive film automatically by means of the transfer device is guided to the cutting device and the cutting device cuts the adhesive film along the cutting pattern in order to produce the sticker directly in the self-service area.
  • the device can therefore produce a sticker personalized by user input in a relatively fast manufacturing process.
  • the printer and the cutting device are preferably units spaced apart from one another. They are preferably not integrated into one another.
  • the transfer device is preferably located between the printer and the cutting device, so that the transfer device can automatically transfer a printed adhesive film from the printer to the cutting device.
  • the transfer device is preferably neither integrated in the printer nor in the cutting device. In particular, the cutting device and the transfer device are preferably not integrated into the printer and are therefore not part of the printer.
  • the forward direction is the direction from the printer via the transfer device to the cutting device.
  • the printer, the transfer device and the cutting device are preferably arranged in such a way that the adhesive film can be moved linearly from the printer via the transfer device to the cutting device in the forward direction, the transfer device being adapted to translate the printed adhesive film only by means of a translation without rotating the adhesive film to move forward. Since the transfer device moves the printed adhesive film linearly only by means of a translation without rotating the adhesive film, the probability of incorrect adjustments of the printed adhesive film within the cutting device and thus of inaccurate cuts can be further reduced.
  • the pattern generating device is adapted to provide the pattern with an orientation mark so that the printed adhesive film has an orientation mark
  • the cutting device having and adjusting a detection unit for detecting the orientation mark on the printed adhesive film can be the orientation of the printed adhesive film within the cutting device before the cutting process to optimize based on the detected orientation mark.
  • a second movement unit of the cutting device for moving the printed adhesive film within the cutting device in the forward and backward direction and a cutting unit of the cutting device which can be moved laterally, in particular orthogonally thereto can be controlled such that the position of the cutting unit relative to the orientation marking is still before the cutting process better corresponds to a given position. This can further improve the cutting accuracy.
  • an automatic repositioning based on several orientation marks on the printed adhesive film generally does not bring any further accuracy advantage. In a preferred embodiment, this repositioning therefore only takes place on the basis of a single orientation marking. In other embodiments, however, a plurality of orientation markings could also be used or a repositioning could be omitted, in which case the printed adhesive film could have no orientation marking.
  • the orientation marking preferably comprises an L-shaped structure, which is preferably arranged in a corner region of the printed adhesive film.
  • the detection unit can have a light source, in particular a laser, for irradiating the printed adhesive film and a detector for detecting the light reflected by the printed adhesive film, wherein the detection unit can be adapted to detect the orientation mark based on the reflected light, and the control device can be adapted to activate the laser only when the second movement unit is activated. As a result, the energy consumption of the device can be reduced.
  • the control unit is preferably designed to control the second movement unit and the cutting unit in such a way that the printed adhesive film and the cutting unit are moved in such a way that the adhesive film is cut along the generated pattern.
  • the control device is preferably adapted to control the first and second movement units such that initially only the first movement unit is activated in order to move the printed adhesive film up to the second movement unit, with both movement units then being activated such that both movement units move the printed adhesive film further synchronously into the cutting device.
  • the printed adhesive film is moved until shortly before the second movement unit, only then both movement units being moved synchronously in order to guide the printed adhesive film into the cutting device.
  • the first movement unit first moves the printed adhesive film up to shortly before the second movement unit, only when this state is reached, in which the printed adhesive film is located shortly before the second movement unit, both movement units are moved synchronously around the printed adhesive film Leading into the cutting device can be prevented that the first movement unit presses the printed adhesive film against the second movement unit, thereby preventing the printed adhesive film from curling, kinking and / or twisting.
  • the second movement unit since the second movement unit is only activated when the above-described state is reached, in which the printed adhesive film is located directly in front of the second movement unit, the second movement unit is not activated unnecessarily, as a result of which the energy consumption can be reduced.
  • the transfer device also preferably has a measuring unit for measuring the distance that the printed adhesive film is moved in the direction of the cutting device by means of the first movement unit, the control device being adapted to control the first movement unit in such a way that the printed adhesive film is so long in the direction of the cutting device Cutter is moved forward until the measured distance indicates that the printed adhesive sheet has been moved to the second moving unit.
  • the measuring unit is preferably adapted to measure the distance over which the printer has guided the printed adhesive film into the transfer device, the control device being adapted to control the first movement unit in such a way that the printed adhesive film moves in the direction of the cutting device for so long until the total distance measured indicates that the printed adhesive film has been moved to the second movement unit.
  • the control device being adapted to control the first movement unit in such a way that the printed adhesive film moves in the direction of the cutting device for so long until the total distance measured indicates that the printed adhesive film has been moved to the second movement unit.
  • the first movement unit preferably has motor-driven rollers with a freewheel in the forward direction, the measuring unit being adapted to measure a passive rotation of the rollers in the freewheel when the printed adhesive film is moved by the printer into the transfer device in order to measure the distance the printer has moved the printed adhesive sheet into the transfer device. Since the first movement unit has motor-driven rollers with a freewheel in the forward direction, the printer can move the printed adhesive film into the first movement unit, that is to say to the motor-driven rollers of the first movement unit, without there being the risk that the printed adhesive film, for example, may curl and / or twisted. As a result, the probability of an inaccurate orientation of the printed adhesive film in the cutting device and thus an inaccurate cut can be further reduced.
  • the rotation-based distance measurement can also be used to measure the distance over which the first movement unit has moved the printed adhesive film in the direction of the cutting device. This enables a more compact construction of the device.
  • the second movement unit preferably comprises motor-driven rollers for moving the printed adhesive film in the cutting device, the motor-driven rollers not having a freewheel.
  • the transfer device preferably comprises a bypass unit which is adapted to guide the printed adhesive film past the first movement unit when the second movement unit moves the printed adhesive film backwards in the direction of the transfer device.
  • the bypass unit can be adapted to guide the printed adhesive film below the first movement unit when the second movement unit moves the printed adhesive film backwards in the direction of the transfer device.
  • the printed adhesive film By guiding the printed adhesive film past the first movement unit, it can be ensured that the printed adhesive film is not corrugated, kinked and / or rotated during the cutting in the cutting device, during which the printed adhesive film is generally moved backwards in the direction of the first movement unit . This can also ensure that the printed adhesive film remains precisely oriented within the cutting device even during the cutting process, as a result of which the cutting accuracy can be further improved.
  • the transfer device can have an adhesive film detection unit for detecting a feed of the printed adhesive film to the transfer device, wherein the control device can be adapted to control the first movement unit in such a way that the first movement unit only then moves the printed adhesive film into Direction of the cutting device moves if a predefined period of time has passed since the feed of the adhesive film was recognized.
  • the printer can be adapted to print the printing pattern on a printing area of an adhesive film web, to cut off this printing area and to feed the cut printing area to the transfer device as a printed adhesive film.
  • the predefined time period is preferably at least so long that the cutting process of the printer is completed when the first movement unit begins to move the printed adhesive film in the direction of the cutting device.
  • the printer and the transfer device are preferably adapted in such a way that the printed adhesive film fed to the transfer device by the printer rotates the rollers of the first movement unit in freewheeling, the adhesive film detection unit being adapted to detect the feed of the adhesive film by detecting the rotation of the rollers of the first movement unit .
  • this passive rotation of the rollers in the freewheel can additionally be used to measure the distance over which the printed adhesive film has been fed through the printer into the transfer device.
  • the roles of the first movement unit can therefore be used for different purposes, which enables a very compact design of the device.
  • the printer is preferably a thermal sublimation printer and the print pattern is preferably a color and / or black / white and / or grayscale pattern.
  • the input device preferably has a photo data receiving unit, the photo data receiving unit being adapted to receive photo data of the user as user inputs.
  • the input device is preferably also adapted to show the user different default patterns, that is to say templates, and to enable the user to select a default pattern as user input.

  • the products can be provided with a product identifier, wherein the input device can have a product identifier reading unit for reading a product identifier of a product selected by the user.
  • the product identifier can be, for example, a bar code and the product identifier reading unit can be a unit for reading a bar code.
  • the input device can also be adapted to enable the user to make inputs that change the selected default pattern, for example the user can enter a text and / or a color that should be added to the pattern.
  • the photo data can also be added to the template.
  • the above-mentioned object is further achieved by a computer program for producing stickers, the computer program using program code means which are adapted to control a device for producing stickers according to claim 1 such that the method for producing stickers according to Claim 13 is carried out when the computer program is executed on a control device which controls the device.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically and by way of example an embodiment of a device for producing stickers.
  • the device 1 is in a self-service area of a drugstore.
  • the device 1 comprises a touch-sensitive monitor 3, a photo data reception unit 5 and a product identification reading unit 6 in a housing 2.
