Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a roll paper manufacturing method, a roll paper manufacturing apparatus, and a roll paper.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a raw material holding portion for holding a wide continuous paper as a raw material, a vertical slitter for slitting the raw material to a predetermined width, and a slit continuous paper having a predetermined width from one end in the length direction. Equipped with a take-up unit that rolls up a roll, a cutter mechanism that cuts the continuous paper that has been rolled up to a predetermined length, etc., and cuts a long continuous paper that has been rolled up into a roll at the winding unit. There is a roll paper manufacturing apparatus that manufactures roll paper according to the following.

[0003] In such a roll paper manufacturing apparatus, for example, in the case of manufacturing roll paper with a small production amount, an operator manually cuts continuous paper wound up by a winding section. There is something.

The roll paper manufactured by the above-described roll paper manufacturing apparatus is used for, for example, a ticket printer. A ticket printer is a printer that issues a ticket exclusively, performs a printing operation on roll paper conveyed in a conveyance path, and cuts the printed roll paper at a position where all the roll paper becomes a fixed length.

A roll paper used in a ticket printer is required to have a precise positional relationship between a printing position and a cutting position with respect to a ticket to be issued. Some ticket printers use a roll of paper, such as the ones that have been marked.The reflective optical sensor detects the position of the black mark and cuts the print position based on the detected position of the black mark. By setting the position, the accuracy of the printing position and the cutting position is ensured.

In addition, as a ticket printer using roll paper, there is a ticket printer adopting a throw-in type in which the roll paper is set with its leading end partially pulled out. Conventionally, such a ticket printer performs an initial feed when setting roll paper.

Here, the initial feed means that the continuous paper is conveyed without performing a printing operation until the first black mark is detected after the roll paper is set, and the cutter mechanism is driven when the black mark is detected. This is the operation of cutting the continuous paper.

By performing the initial feed, the positional relationship between the printing position and the cutting position can be favorably maintained when the next ticket is issued.

Some roll papers used in ticket printers are provided with perforations in advance so that they can be easily separated at the time of use in consideration of the usage pattern after issuance. This makes it easier to handle issued tickets.

[0010]

However, in the above-described roll paper manufacturing apparatus, there is a concern that the cutting position may vary depending on the accuracy of the cutter mechanism. As a result, the length of the roll paper becomes uneven.

As a countermeasure, it is conceivable to use a high-precision cutter mechanism. However, if a high-precision cutter mechanism is used, the maintenance of the apparatus must be performed frequently, resulting in poor workability.

[0012] In addition, when the operator manually cuts the end of the roll paper using a cutter or the like, the operation becomes complicated. In addition, when the operator manually cuts the end of the roll paper using a cutter or the like, the operator randomly cuts the end of the roll paper, resulting in variation in the cut position of the manufactured roll paper. .

[0013] In the ticket printer adopting the throw-in method, the portion pulled out when setting the roll paper is discarded at the time of the initial feed for the structural reason as described above. For this reason, when the length of the roll paper varies, it is conceivable that the portion to be discarded becomes unnecessarily large, and the roll paper cannot be used effectively. This is more conspicuous when, in a ticket printer adopting the throw-in method, when roll paper having perforations whose printing positions are strictly defined is set.

Further, in the roll paper manufacturing apparatus as described above, the starting position of the roll paper is also uneven because the cut positions of the roll paper are uneven, so that the roll paper manufacturing device is effectively used when used in a ticket printer. Cannot be performed, and roll paper that remains without being printed occurs.

An object of the present invention is to provide a roll paper manufacturing method, a roll paper manufacturing apparatus, and a roll paper with high accuracy in the length dimension.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a roll paper manufacturing method, a roll paper manufacturing apparatus, and a roll paper with high accuracy in the length dimension without having to precisely adjust the cutting position.

According to the present invention, there is provided a roll paper manufacturing method, a roll paper manufacturing apparatus, and a roll paper which can be used effectively in a ticket printer by minimizing a portion which is left unprinted and making the most effective use. The purpose is to:

A cutting mechanism 15 for cutting a is provided.

The cutting mechanism 15 is provided with a cutting member 16 which moves above the guide path 11 in FIG.

In addition, although not particularly shown, the roll paper manufacturing apparatus 7 has a control unit for driving and controlling each part in the roll paper manufacturing apparatus 7 such as the winding shaft 12, the vertical slitter 14, and the cutting member 16. ing. The control unit is configured by connecting a CPU for centrally controlling and driving each unit, a ROM for storing fixed data such as a control program in advance, and a RAM for storing variable data in a rewritable manner. R
The AM stores, for example, data relating to the number of revolutions of the winding shaft 12 when winding the continuous paper.
The number of rotations of the winding shaft 12 is the same as that of the heat-sensitive paper 1 of the target length.
At the time when a is wound up, the perforation 6 which is a position for dividing the extra note portion 2 and the main note portion 3 is located between the two pairs of rollers 13c, 1c.
It is set to be located at 3d.

The operation of each section when manufacturing the ticket roll paper 1 in such a configuration will be described. In manufacturing the ticket roll paper 1, first, the leading end in the length direction of the raw web 1 b is pulled out, and the extra bill portion 2 is wound via the vertical slitter 14 so that the printing surface faces the outer peripheral side. It is fixed to a roll core 12 a attached to the shaft 12.

The adhesive force of an adhesive tape, glue, adhesive, or the like for fixing the extra note portion 2 to the roll core 12a is, for example, used in a later-described ticket printer 17 (see FIG. 4).
It is set to such a degree that it can be easily peeled off by the transfer force of the transfer mechanism such as the platen 23.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the cored ticket roll paper 1 is used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the cored ticket roll paper 1 may be used.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the heat-sensitive paper 1b is cut from the point in time when the material web 1b is slit to the target width of the ticket roll paper through the vertical slitter 14.
a.

Next, the winding shaft 12 is rotated while the surplus portion 2 which is the leading end of the thermal paper 1a continuous from the material holding unit 9 is fixed to the winding shaft 12.

As a result, the raw web 1b becomes the vertical slitter 1

At the time when the rotation of No. 2 is stopped, the perforation 6 for dividing the extra note portion 2 and the main note portion 3 is adjusted so as to be located between the two pairs of rollers. When moving downward across the guide route 11, 2
The thermal paper 1a is cut from the perforations 6 by a downward pressing force acting on the thermal paper 1a between the pair of rollers.

Thus, the precision of the cutting position of the cutting mechanism 15 does not need to be particularly strictly adjusted, and only the perforation 6 to be cut is positioned between the two pairs of rollers.
By keeping the cutting position constant at all times, it is possible to manufacture the ticket roll paper 1 with good length dimension accuracy. In addition, since a high-precision cutter is not required, maintenance such as maintenance can be easily performed, thereby improving work efficiency.

Next, a ticket printer 17 that issues a ticket exclusively using the above-described ticket roll paper 1 will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the ticket printer of the present embodiment is used by being connected to a host device such as a POS terminal, and issues a printed ticket in accordance with print data from the host device.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view schematically showing the ticket printer 17. The ticket printer 17 includes a printer main body 18 and a head cover 20 supported on the printer main body 18 so as to be openable and closable about a support shaft 19.

The head cover 20 is provided with a thermal head 21 for printing predetermined items on the thermal paper 1a in contact with a platen 23 described later. The thermal head 21 has a structure in which a plurality of heating resistors (not shown) are arranged in a line. The head cover 20 is formed with an arc-shaped cover portion 22 that is continuous with an arc shape of a continuous paper storage portion 24 described later.

The printer body 18 is provided with a platen 23 having a roller structure and an arc-shaped continuous paper storage portion 24. The platen 23 also functions as a transport mechanism that transports the thermal paper 1a in a predetermined direction by being rotationally driven by a transport motor (not shown). The continuous paper storage unit 24 stores and holds the above-described ticket roll paper 1.

When the print surface (not shown) of the ticket roll paper 1 stored and held in the continuous paper storage portion 24 is formed on only one side, the print surface is located on the outer circumferential side in the winding direction. There are an outer winding and an inner winding having a printing surface on the inner peripheral side. In the present embodiment, an outer winding thermal paper 1a having a printing surface on the outer peripheral side is used.

When the ticket roll paper 1 is to be replaced, for example, when the ticket roll paper 1 is exchanged, the head cover 20 is released, and the ticket roll paper 1 is pulled out so as to pass over the platen 23 with the surface to be printed facing upward. It is set in the paper storage unit 24.

With the head cover 20 closed,
A guide path 31 is formed from the continuous paper storage unit 24 to the ticket issuing port 25 via the thermal head 21 and a cutter mechanism 29 described later. When the head cover 20 is closed, the thermal head 21 is brought into contact with the platen 23 via the guide path 31 at a predetermined pressure. Thus, the thermal head 21 and the platen 23
Thus, the printing section 26 is formed.

When the head cover 20 is closed, the thermal head 21 is brought into contact with the platen 23 with a predetermined pressing force.
Thus, the thermal paper 1a can be conveyed while being held therebetween.

The lower side of the guide path 31 is
And is supported by a lower guide plate 27 integrally formed continuously with the continuous paper storage portion 24. A detection sensor 28 is provided on the lower guide plate 27. The detection sensor 28 is a reflective optical sensor including a light emitting element (not shown) that emits light and a light receiving element (not shown) that receives reflected light of light emitted by the light emitting element. The output changes according to the amount of received light.

On the ticket issuing port 25 side of the printing section 26 of the guide route 31, a cutter mechanism 29 is provided. The cutter mechanism 29 includes a fixed blade 29a having a long flat plate shape.
And the movable blade 29b are combined, and the thermal paper 1a conveyed on the guide path 31 is cut by sliding the movable blade 29b by the cutter motor 30 with respect to the fixed blade 29a.

Although not shown, the ticket printer 17
Has a built-in control unit that drives and controls each unit in the ticket printer 17. The control unit drives and controls the thermal head 21, a transport motor (not shown), a cutter motor 30, and the like. Further, the control unit determines the presence or absence of a black mark based on a change in the output of the detection sensor 28. In the present embodiment, since the surplus portion 2, main portion 3, and semi-note portion 4 are marked with a black mark for each continuous single repeating unit 5, the ticket printer 17 The form of a single repeating unit 5 in which the main ticket section 3 and the stub section 4 are continuous is issued as one ticket.

In addition, the ticket printer 17 has a POS
A communication interface (not shown) for receiving print data output from a host device (not shown) such as a terminal is provided.

In such a configuration, when the ticket printer 17 detects that the opened head cover 20 has been closed when exchanging or refilling the ticket roll paper 1, the initial feed is performed.

At the time of initial feed, first, after the ticket roll paper 1 is set in the continuous paper storage unit 24 and until the first black mark is detected, the printing unit 26 is not driven and only the transport motor is driven. Thus, the thermal paper 1a is transported by the platen 23.

Further, it is determined whether or not there is a change in the output of the detection sensor 28 due to the thermal paper 1a being conveyed by the platen 23 and the black mark passing above the detection sensor 28.

When the passage of the black mark is determined based on the output change of the detection sensor 28, the cutter motor 30 is driven when the thermal paper 1a is conveyed by a predetermined amount after the passage of the black mark, and the movable blade is moved. 29b is slid to cut the thermal paper 1a, and the initial feed is completed.
In the present embodiment, the cutter motor 30 is driven when the thermal paper 1a is conveyed by a predetermined amount after the passage of the black mark is determined, so that the thin line c in FIG. 1B or FIG. It is cut at the position where the remaining stub portion 2 and the stub portion 4 are divided.

By performing the initial feed, even when a new ticket roll paper 1 is set, printing can be started from the correct printing position when a ticket is issued thereafter.

Incidentally, in a printer such as the ticket printer 17 of the present embodiment which employs the above-described throwing-in method for setting the ticket roll paper 1, the platen 23 is pulled out only when the stub 3 is pulled out. When the head cover 20 is closed, the platen 23 is closed when the head cover 20 is closed because the length in the length direction of the stub 3 is shorter than the length of the interval between the abutting portion of the sheet and the thermal head 21 and the continuous paper storage portion 24. The thermal paper 1 a cannot be held between the thermal head 21 and the thermal head 21, and the thermal paper 1 a cannot be transported by the platen 23. On the other hand, when the thermal paper 1 a having a sufficient length is drawn out to hold the thermal paper 1 a between the platen 23 and the thermal head 21, the ticket roll paper 1 is set in the continuous paper storage unit 24. At that point,
Since the first black mark passes over the detection sensor, unnecessarily many heat-sensitive papers are wasted and discarded before the first black mark is detected in the initial feeding.

The ticket roll paper 1 according to the present embodiment has the main end 3 of the winding end. Therefore, when the necessary amount for performing the initial feed is pulled out and set as described above, Only the first main ticket section 3 and the stub section 4 are conveyed and discarded before the black mark is detected. Thereby, the ticket roll paper 1
Waste of the thermal paper 1a discarded at the time of replenishment can be minimized.

Next, the operation of each unit which is driven and controlled by the control unit when a ticket is issued will be described. In the ticket printer 17, when print data transmitted from a host machine such as a POS terminal is received by a communication interface, each of the resistance heating elements (not shown) of the thermal head 21 is driven based on the received print data, so A predetermined printing energy is applied to the paper 1a. When a predetermined printing energy is applied, the thermal paper 1a develops a color in dot units according to the applied energy. Thereby, predetermined items are printed on the thermal paper 1a.

At the time of printing, printing is performed for each line of print data based on the received print data, and each time one line of print data is printed, a transport motor (not shown) is driven to rotate the platen 23. The thermal paper 1a is transported by a length corresponding to a print area for one line.

The platen 23 rotated by the transport motor
When the black mark attached to the thermal paper 1a conveyed by the sensor passes over the detection sensor 28, the output of the detection sensor 28 changes.

When the controller detects a change in the output of the detection sensor 28 as a black mark, the control unit 30
Is driven to slide the movable blade 29b. As a result, a ticket in which the thermal paper 1a is cut at the position shown by the thin line c in FIG. 1B or FIG. 2B is issued.

In this embodiment, the extra bill portion 2 is a roll core 1
Although the cored ticket roll paper 1 fixed to 2a is used, when the use of the ticket roll paper 1 progresses and the end position of use approaches, the thermal paper 1 is conveyed by the transport force of the platen 23.
a is easily peeled off from the roll core 12a. The starting portion of the peeled thermal paper 1a is a roll core 12a.
Transported away from

When the coreless ticket roll paper 1 is used, as the use of the ticket roll paper 1 progresses and the end position of the use approaches, the winding start portion of the thermal paper 1a becomes:
It is transported away from the roll core 12a.

In the ticket printer 17 which issues tickets in the form of a single repetitive unit 5 in which the surplus portion 2, the main portion 3 and the semi-note portion 4 are continuous, the start of winding is the surplus portion 2. By using the ticket roll paper 1, the remaining portion can be made only the surplus portion 2. As a result, the roll paper can be used effectively with the discarded portion being the minimum necessary.

[0073]

According to the roll paper manufacturing method of the first aspect of the present invention, the repeating unit, which is one unit in the extra bill portion, the main bill portion, and the semi-note portion, is continuous along the length direction, and at least In the roll paper manufacturing method for manufacturing a roll-shaped roll paper in which the extra-note portion and the main-note portion are rolled up from the one end side in the length direction of a continuous continuous paper divided by perforations,
The continuation of the repeating unit is such that the start of winding is the surplus part, the surplus part, the stub part, and the main part are wound in this order, and the end of the main part is the main part. Since it becomes possible to cut the end of the winding at the perforation position, it is possible to always keep the cutting position constant without having to strictly adjust the precision at the time of cutting the end of the winding, for example, by a cutting mechanism. It is possible to obtain roll paper having good dimensional accuracy with respect to the height dimension. This facilitates the operation of adjusting the accuracy of the cutting position of the cutting mechanism or the like in maintenance, and improves the working efficiency. In addition, when setting the roll paper manufactured by this roll paper manufacturing apparatus, for example, in a ticket printer that adopts a throw-in method in which the leading end must be pulled out when setting the roll paper for structural reasons, Before the black mark serving as a reference for cutting is first detected, the continuous paper can reach a transport mechanism such as a platen, so that waste in initial feed can be minimized. In addition, by setting the start of winding as a surplus portion, the remaining portion is left unprinted when used in a ticket printer that issues a ticket in which the surplus portion, main ticket portion, and stub portion are a single repetition unit. The continuous paper can be used as effectively as possible, with only the remaining portion as the portion.

According to the roll paper manufacturing method of the second aspect of the present invention, in a roll paper manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a roll paper in which a long continuous paper is rolled up by a predetermined amount, an extra bill portion, a main bill portion,
The repetition unit, which is one unit in the stub, is continuous along the length direction, and the extra continuation paper is divided into at least the extra stub part and the main stub part by perforations. A part, the stub part, and a raw sheet holding part that holds the main part so as to be able to be pulled out in this order; a winding unit that winds the continuous paper in a roll shape along the length direction from the surplus part; A cutting mechanism that cuts the continuous paper at the perforation that divides the surplus sheet portion and the main ticket portion when the continuous sheet is wound up by the predetermined amount by a winding unit; The continuous paper held by the copy unit is wound up in a roll form from the surplus portion by the take-up unit, and when the predetermined amount is wound up, the continuous paper is cut by the perforation for dividing the surplus portion and the main portion by the cutting mechanism. The accuracy of the cutting position cut by the cutter mechanism Strictly no need to adjust, since always possible to maintain a constant cutting position, it is possible to maintain good dimensional accuracy with respect to the length dimension.
This facilitates the operation of adjusting the accuracy of the cutting position of the cutting mechanism or the like in maintenance, and improves the working efficiency. Further, since there is no need to provide a cutter mechanism in which the accuracy of the cutting position is strictly adjusted, roll paper can be manufactured by a practically inexpensive apparatus. In addition, when setting the roll paper manufactured by this roll paper manufacturing apparatus, for example, in a ticket printer that adopts a throw-in method in which the leading end must be pulled out when setting the roll paper for structural reasons,
Before the black mark serving as a reference for cutting is first detected, the continuous paper can reach a transport mechanism such as a platen, so that waste in initial feed can be minimized. In addition, by setting the start of winding as a surplus portion, the remaining portion is left unprinted when used in a ticket printer that issues a ticket in which the surplus portion, main ticket portion, and stub portion are a single repetition unit. The part is only a spare part,
Continuous paper can be used most effectively.

According to the roll paper according to the third aspect of the present invention,
A repetition unit which is one unit in the surplus portion, the main portion, and the stub portion is continuous along the length direction, and at least the long portion where the surplus portion and the main portion are divided by perforations. In a roll-shaped roll paper obtained by winding up the continuous paper from the one end portion in the length direction in the order of the stub part, the main part, and the extra part, the winding start is the extra part and the winding end is the By using this ticket section, the roll paper whose winding end is cut at the perforation position is provided,
Since it is possible to obtain a roll paper with good accuracy, for example, when setting the roll paper in a ticket printer that adopts a throw-in method that requires pulling out the leading edge when setting the roll paper for structural reasons, Before detecting a reference black mark for the first time, the continuous paper can be made to reach a transport mechanism such as a platen, so that waste of initial feed can be minimized. In addition, by setting the start of winding as a surplus portion, the remaining portion is left unprinted when used in a ticket printer that issues a ticket in which the surplus portion, main ticket portion, and stub portion are a single repetition unit. The continuous paper can be used as effectively as possible, with only the remaining portion as the portion.
