Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention belongs to the technical field of forming a character pattern on a sheet-like work to be processed into a plastic card or the like by transfer. In particular, the present invention relates to a transfer paper temporary sticking apparatus that positions and fixes a sheet-like work and transfer paper before performing transfer by a transfer device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A character pattern is formed on a surface of a sheet-like work to be processed into a plastic card or the like by transfer. The character pattern is printed on transfer paper, and the transfer paper is transferred from the transfer paper side to the surface of the sheet-like work by superimposing the transfer paper on the sheet-like work and performing hot pressing. Although referred to as transfer paper, the base material of the transfer paper on which the character pattern is printed is not limited to paper here. Rather transfer by heat press (thermal transfer)
In the case of, excellent heat resistance such as polyester film,
Moreover, a plastic film having excellent flatness is often suitable as a substrate. The transfer is performed by the fact that the adhesiveness of the character pattern after the hot pressing is higher on the surface of the sheet-like work than on the surface of the base material of the transfer paper.

In many transfers, it is necessary to perform high-precision alignment between the transfer sheet and the sheet-like work before performing this transfer. Also, it is necessary to fix the adjusted position so that the position does not change even when heat pressure is applied by a hot press. Here, a manufacturing process of a plastic card requiring such alignment and fixing will be described as an example. In the process of manufacturing a plastic card, a sheet-like work is a material for manufacturing a plastic card in multiple faces. For example, from a sheet-like work processed by 12 impositions, 12 plastic cards are obtained by die cutting. This sheet-like work has a configuration in which a transparent, white, white, and transparent vinyl chloride sheet is superposed and temporarily pasted in four layers in this order, and a stripe-shaped magnetic recording layer is further temporarily pasted. Therefore, it is necessary to transfer the character / pattern so as to be at an accurate position with respect to the stripe-shaped magnetic recording layer. The thermal transfer of the picture is performed by heat pressing, and the four-layer vinyl chloride sheet and the stripe-shaped magnetic recording layer are also adhered and integrated.

[0004]

The alignment and fixing before the transfer are performed manually. First, a transfer sheet is superimposed on a sheet-like work and positioned by visual observation. Then, the sheet-shaped work and the transfer paper are fixed with an adhesive. In this operation, there are problems such as dust adhering to the sheet-like work and the transfer paper, and individual differences in the accuracy of the alignment. In addition, since an organic solvent (cyclohexane) is used as the adhesive, it takes time to dry and complete the bonding, resulting in poor productivity. If ultrasonic fusion is used for this bonding, fusion can be completed in a short time. However, when peeling the transfer paper from the sheet work in post-processing,
In some cases, the transfer paper tears from the fused portion, making it difficult to completely remove the transfer paper.

As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 shows a transfer paper temporary sticking apparatus as a schematic arrangement diagram of each component.

The sheet-like work supply means 1 supplies the sheet-like work to the overlapping section 3. In the configuration shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the sheet-like work supply means 1 supplies the sheet-like work to the overlapping section 3 via the sheet-like work dust removing means 2. As described above, in the manufacturing process of the plastic card, the sheet-like work is a material for manufacturing the plastic card in multiple faces. For example, from a sheet-like work processed by 12 impositions, 12 plastic cards are obtained by die cutting. This sheet-like work is a transparent, white, white, transparent vinyl chloride sheet that is superimposed on four layers in this order and temporarily attached,
Further, it has a configuration in which a stripe-shaped magnetic recording layer is temporarily attached (see FIG. 7). The sheet-like work supply means 1 has a stacking section of sheet-like works, and performs an operation of taking out and sending out sheet-like works one by one from the stacking section.

The sheet-like work dust removing means 2 removes dust adhering to the sheet-like work. In the configuration shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the sheet-like work dust removing means 2 is provided between the sheet-like work supply means 1 and the overlapping section 3. FIG. 3 shows an example of the sheet-like work dust removing means. In FIG.
31a and 31b are a pair of dust removal rollers, 32 and 33 are belt conveyors, and 111 is a sheet-like work. The sheet-like work 111 is conveyed to the belt conveyor 32 and proceeds to the pair of dust removal rollers 31a and 31b. Dust removal rollers 31a, 3
1b is rotationally driven, and pinches and transports a sheet-like work. The sheet-like work 111 is a belt conveyor 33.
Passed to. At least one of the pair of dust removal rollers 31a and 31b has adhesiveness, and the adhesive removes dust from the sheet-like work 111. Dust removal roller 3
The dust transferred to the sheet-like work 111 is returned to the sheet-like workpiece 111 again.
Never go back to

In FIG. 1, a superposition section 3 is a stage for superimposing a sheet-like work and a transfer paper on each other to position and fix them. Belt conveyor 33, position inspection means 9
Are provided, for example, image pickup means 8a and 8b, which are detection units, and sticking means for temporarily sticking and fixing the sheet-like work and the transfer paper (details will be described later). Further, the overlapping portion 3 is provided with a contact member that stops the sheet-like work at a predetermined position of the overlapping portion 3 when the end of the sheet-like work hits the overlapping portion. The contact member is displaced between the operating position and the retracted position, and is in the operating position when stopping the sheet-like work, and is in the retracting position when discharging the sheet-like work from the overlapping unit 3.

The transfer paper supply means 4 supplies the transfer paper to the overlapping section 3. In the configuration shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the transfer paper supply unit 4 supplies the transfer paper to the polymerization unit 3 via the transfer paper dust removing unit 5, the placing unit 6, and the polymerization positioning unit 7. The transfer paper is basically formed by printing a character pattern on a polyester film. However, in actuality, the transfer paper has a multilayer structure in order to achieve its purpose. The layer configuration includes, for example, a base layer of a polyester film, a release layer that facilitates separation by transfer, a surface layer that becomes a surface after transfer and has abrasion resistance, a printed layer on which a character pattern is printed, and easy adhesion by transfer. An adhesive layer or the like is included in the configuration. The transfer paper supply means 4 has a transfer paper stacking section, and performs an operation of taking out and transferring the transfer papers one by one from the stacking section.

The transfer paper dust removing means 5 removes dust adhering to the transfer paper. The transfer paper dust removing means 5 is provided between the transfer paper supply means 4 and the placing section 6. The transfer paper dust removing means 5 has the same configuration as the sheet-like work dust removing means 2. The placing section 6 is a stage where the transfer paper from which dust has been removed is temporarily placed before being supplied to the overlapping section 3. The placing section 6 has a mechanism for stopping the transfer paper at a predetermined position on the placing section 6. Since the transfer paper is an extremely thin film as compared with the sheet-like work, a stop mechanism using an electronic detection mechanism such as a non-contact sensor is used instead of a mechanical stop mechanism similar to the overlapping section.

The overlapping positioning means 7 positions the sheet work and the transfer paper superposed in the overlapping section 3. In the configuration shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the overlapping positioning means 7 is a robot. First, the stacking positioning means 7 sucks the transfer paper placed on the mounting section 6 by a vacuum suction mechanism provided in the robot hand, rises, rotates, and moves above the stacking section 3. Then, the robot hand is lowered and overlapped on a sheet-like work placed on the overlapping section 3. Next, the overlapping positioning means 7 positions the sheet-like work and the transfer paper based on the positional deviation detected by the position inspecting means 7 (the overlapping position inspecting means). The overlap positioning means 7 is x
This positioning is performed by a position moving operation of (left and right), y (front and rear), z (up and down), and θ (rotation).

The image pickup means 8a and 8b are detection units of the position inspection means 9. The sheet-shaped work and the transfer paper each have alignment marks having a corresponding relationship. FIG. 4 shows an example of an alignment mark between the sheet-shaped work and the transfer sheet. 4, reference numerals 41a and 41b denote alignment marks of a sheet-like work, reference numerals 42a, 42b and 43c denote stripe-shaped magnetic recording layers, reference numerals 43a and 43b denote alignment marks of transfer paper, 111 denotes a sheet-like work, and 222 denotes a transfer paper. It is.
As shown in FIG. 4A, the sheet-like work 111 is a multi-layered base material, and the sheet-like work 111 is provided with alignment marks 41a and 41b and stripe-like magnetic recording layers 42a, 42b and 43c. ing. FIG. 4 (B)
As shown in the enlarged view, the alignment mark 41a is a cross mark (commonly called "register mark").

As shown in FIG. 4C, the transfer paper 222 is provided with alignment marks 43a and 43b.
The transfer paper 222 is a thin (usually several μm to several tens μm) polyester film, and has a light transmission property. That is, when the transfer paper 222 is superimposed on the sheet-like work 111, the light transmitted through the transfer paper 222 causes the alignment marks 41 provided on the sheet-like work 111 to be aligned.
a and 41b can be imaged by the imaging means 8a and 8b. FIG. 4E shows the registration marks of the sheet-shaped work and the transfer sheet included in the same area (imaging area). That is, this indicates that the alignment is almost correct.

In order to detect the alignment marks, the imaging means 8a and 8b are two-dimensional CCDs as photoelectric conversion elements.
An area sensor camera having a (charge coupled device) sensor is used. The imaging signals output by the imaging units 8 a and 8 b are input by the main body of the position inspection unit 9. The main body is a processing device for image data, which performs A / D conversion (analog-to-digital converter) on an image pickup signal to obtain image data, and performs data processing for deriving a displacement amount from the image data. That is, based on the image data, the distance between X1 and Y1 shown in FIG. 4E is calculated, and data processing for comparing the values of X1 and Y1 with a reference value is performed.

The position inspection means 9 performs the inspection by detecting the alignment marks on the sheet-like work and the alignment marks on the transfer sheet. In the configuration shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the position inspection means 9 has the role of both the overlapping position inspection means and the sticking position inspection means. First, the position inspection means 9 as the overlapping position inspection means will be described, and then the position inspection means 9 as the sticking position inspection means will be described. The position inspecting means 9 inspects whether the positioning is good or bad as the overlapping position inspecting means, outputs an instruction for re-positioning if it is defective, and outputs an instruction to proceed to the processing of the attaching means if it is good.

The attaching means temporarily attaches and fixes the sheet-like work and the transfer paper. The sticking means temporarily fixes the sheet-like work and the transfer paper by ultrasonic bonding. FIG. 5 shows an example of the configuration of the attaching means provided in the overlapping section 3. In FIG. 5, reference numerals 51a and 51b denote surface plates;
Reference numerals a, 52b, 52c, 52d, and 52e denote ultrasonic fusion heads, 53 denotes a support, 57 denotes a conveyor belt, 58 and 59 denote rollers, 111 denotes a sheet-like work, and 222 denotes a transfer sheet. As shown in FIG. 5A in which the polymerization unit 3 is viewed from above,
The conveyor belt 57 is made up of the sheet-like work 111 and the transfer paper 222.
Is supported only in the central part. The rollers 58 and 59 are rollers of the transport belt 57. Rollers 58, 59
Work 11 that is sandwiched between and comes off the conveyor belt 57
Attachment means is provided on the sides of the transfer paper 1 and the transfer paper 222.

The sticking means comprises platens 51a and 51b, ultrasonic fusion heads 52 to 52e, a support 53 and the like.
The platens 51a and 51b support the pressing force of the ultrasonic fusion heads 52 to 52e. In FIG. 5, the platen 5
Only the ultrasonic fusion heads 52 to 52e paired with 1b are drawn, and the ultrasonic fusion heads paired with the surface plate 51a are omitted. As shown in FIG. B (A) when the overlapping portion 3 is viewed from the side, the surface plate 51a is configured to be displaced between an ascending position and a descending position. The ascending position is the conveyor belt 5
7 is a position for performing fusion in which the lower surface of the sheet-like work 111 placed on the conveyor belt 57 and the surface of the surface plate 51a coincide with each other. The lowering position is the position of the conveyor belt 57.
This is a position that does not hinder the conveyance of the sheet-like work 111 due to the above.

Similarly, the ultrasonic fusion heads 52 to 52e are displaced to a predetermined fusion position when performing fusion, and are displaced to a standby position otherwise. This displacement is performed by the support 53. The support 53 includes ultrasonic fusion heads 52 to 52e.
Of the sheet-like work 111 and the transfer paper 222 further outward. This displacement is caused by the ultrasonic fusion heads 52-5.
When 2e is at the standby position, the sheet-like work 111
This is to prevent interference (operation) with the operation of the overlapping positioning means 7 and the image pickup means 8a and 8b for overlapping and positioning the transfer paper 222. That is, the attaching means for the overlapping positioning means 7 and the imaging means 8a and 8b
When one is in the operating position, the other is in the standby position.

FIG. 6A shows an example of a position where ultrasonic welding is performed.
Shown in In FIG. 6 (A), the portion marked with “x” is the portion where ultrasonic fusion is performed. That is, ultrasonic welding is performed on the side of the sheet-like work 111 and the transfer paper 222 that have been aligned. The number of places where ultrasonic fusion is performed is 10 in the example shown in FIG.
However, the present invention is not limited to this number. It is sufficient that the purpose of fixing the positions of the sheet-like work 111 and the transfer paper 222 can be achieved. FIG. 6B shows an example of the tip shape of the ultrasonic fusion head. FIG.
In (B), the upper figure is a front view, and the lower figure is a side view seen from below. As shown in FIG. 6B, a projection is formed at the tip of the ultrasonic fusion head. The diameter and length of the projection are, for example, 0.5 to 3 mmφ × 1 to 5 mm. As described above, the ultrasonic welding is performed at a plurality of locations by the welding end where the convex portion is formed.

FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional shape of a portion of the sheet-like work 111 and the transfer paper 222 where ultrasonic fusion is performed. In FIG. 7, the sheet-like work 111 has a four-layer structure of an oversheet and a core. Transparent vinyl chloride is used for the material of the over sheet, and white vinyl chloride is used for the material of the core. The transfer paper 22
The second material is polyester. Ultrasonic fusion is performed with such a strength that vinyl chloride is softened but polyester is not softened. The vinyl chloride is softened by the ultrasonic welding and deformed by the pressing force of the ultrasonic welding head. The tip of the ultrasonic fusion head is embedded in the sheet-like work 111.
At this time, the transfer paper 222 is partially torn. Softened PVC enters the area. Thereby, the adhesion based on the physical properties of the material surface and the mechanical adhesion are used together. As a result, the adhesive portion is not easily peeled off by an external force in normal handling. Further, when a peeling force is applied in a subsequent peeling step, the sheet-like work 11
1, the transfer paper 222 can be completely peeled off.

Returning to FIG. 1, the description will be continued. As described above, the position inspection means 9 has the role of both the overlapping position inspection means and the sticking position inspection means. The position inspecting means 9 inspects whether the pasting is good or bad as the sticking position inspecting means, and outputs an instruction to remove a defective product if it is defective, and outputs an instruction to discharge a non-defective product if it is good. The sheet-shaped work and the transfer paper each have alignment marks having a corresponding relationship. The position inspecting means 9 performs an inspection by detecting an alignment mark of a sheet-like work and an alignment mark of a transfer sheet as an adhesion position inspecting means. Although there is a difference between before and after attaching the sheet-like work 111 and the transfer paper 222, the inspection method by the position inspection means 9 is not greatly different as the overlapping position inspection means and the adhesion position inspection means, and the same method is used. Done in

The control means 10 performs control so that each component of the transfer paper temporary attaching apparatus does not interfere and performs a consistent operation. The operation panel 11 displays the operation state of the transfer paper temporary attaching device and receives an instruction input by the operator. The non-defective / defective product classification unit 12 removes defective products and discharges non-defective products based on the instruction output of the position inspection unit 9 (sticking position inspection unit). The accumulation unit 13 has a good product accumulation unit and a defective product accumulation unit.

In the configuration shown in FIG. 1 described above, the operation of the transfer paper temporary bonding apparatus of the present invention will be summarized and described next. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a process of the operation in the transfer paper temporary bonding apparatus of the present invention. First, in step S <b> 1 of FIG. 2, the sheet-like work supply unit 1 supplies the sheet-like work toward the overlapping unit 3. Next, step S2
, The sheet-like work dust removing means 2 removes the sheet-like work and supplies the sheet-like work to the overlapping section 3.
On the other hand, in step S <b> 3, the transfer paper supply unit 4 supplies the transfer paper to the overlapping unit 3. Next, in step S4, the transfer paper dust removing means 5 removes the transfer paper and supplies the transfer paper to the receiver 6 first.

Next, in step S5, the overlapping positioning means 7 moves the transfer paper on the placing section 6 to the overlapping section 3 and superposes it on the sheet-like work. Next, in step S6, the position inspection means 9 images the alignment mark,
The positional deviation between the sheet-like work and the transfer paper is derived. Then, the overlapping positioning means 7 determines
Positioning of the sheet work and the transfer sheet superimposed by the position movement operation of x (left and right), y (front and rear), z (up and down), and θ (rotation) is performed. Next, in step S7, the position inspection means 9 takes an image of the alignment mark and derives the amount of positional deviation between the sheet-like work and the transfer sheet. If the displacement is within the allowable range, the process proceeds to step S8, and if not, the process returns to step S6 and repeats the subsequent processes.

Next, in step S8, the attaching means temporarily attaches and fixes the sheet-like work and the transfer paper. Next, in step S9, the position inspection means 9 captures an image of the alignment mark and derives a positional shift amount between the fixed sheet-like work and the transfer sheet. Next, in step S10, the position inspection means 9 determines whether the positional deviation amount is a good product within the allowable range or a defective product outside the allowable range. If it is a non-defective product, the process proceeds to step S11. If it is a defective product, the process proceeds to step S12.

In step S11, the non-defective / defective product classification means 12 stores the fixed sheet-like work and the transfer paper in the stacking unit 1.
3 is sent to the good product accumulation section. In step S12,
The non-defective / defective product sorting means 12 feeds the fixed sheet-like work transfer paper to the defective product accumulating section of the accumulating section 13. Next, in step S13, it is determined whether or not to continue the operation of the transfer paper temporary bonding apparatus. If the operation is to be continued, the process returns to step S1 and step S3, and the subsequent steps are repeated. If not continued, the process ends.
