Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-11448

  By the way, in the conventional label sticking apparatus, the label L temporarily attached to the belt-like mount S in the sticking part 106 is peeled one by one by the peeling plate 108, and the peeled label L is removed by the sticking roller 110. Although the affixing roller 110 is affixed to the machine base 100 via the mounting member 109, the affixing roller 110 is fixed to the machine base 100 via the mounting member 109. There is a problem that adjustment work is complicated, such as adjusting the positional relationship of the apparatus with respect to the conveyor C or changing the mounting position of the mounting member 109 with respect to the machine base 100. Further, there is a problem that fine adjustment of the pressure contact force of the label L in accordance with the condition of the article or the size of the label and the adhesive state cannot be easily performed.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and can easily adjust the pressure-contact force of a label on an article, and can reliably apply a label by optimizing the application conditions according to the article or label. An object of the present invention is to provide a label affixing device.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the label sticking device of the present invention includes a sticking unit that transports a belt-like mount on which labels are temporarily attached at predetermined intervals, and peels the label from the belt-like mount in the middle of the transport and attaches it to an article. In the label affixing device, the affixing part is provided on the machine base, the strip-like mount on which the labels are temporarily attached at a predetermined interval is turned in the transport direction, and the labels temporarily attached to the strip-like mount are peeled one by one. And a peeling roller provided on the machine base and having an axis perpendicular to the conveying direction and affixed to the article by pressing the label peeled off by the peeling plate. The pressure contact force adjusting mechanism for adjusting the pressure contact force against the article is provided.

  According to this, before operating the apparatus, the press contact force of the sticking roller to the article is adjusted in advance by the press contact force adjusting mechanism. Therefore, it is possible to easily adjust the pressing force of the label against the article, and in a state where the apparatus is operated, it is possible to reliably apply the label by optimizing the application condition according to the article or label. it can.

  And, if necessary, the pressure contact force adjusting mechanism, the support member that is supported by the machine base so as to be movable so that the application roller can be rotated and the application roller can be moved close to and away from the article, A spring for urging the support member in the proximity of the sticking roller to the article and a stopper for positioning a lower limit position of the support member to the article side of the sticking roller on the support member are configured.

  Thereby, since the sticking roller does not move to the article side from the movement lower limit position when the protruding piece comes into contact with the stopper, an excessive force due to the urging force of the coil spring does not act on the label. Because it can move only above the lower limit movement position against the urging force, it can absorb a slight thickness error of the label and an error of the application position of the article, and the application conditions are optimal for the article and label. It is possible to make sure that the label can be securely attached.

Further, if necessary, the sticking roller is rotatably held at one end of the support member, and the other end of the support member can be rotated so that the sticking roller can be moved close to and away from the article. Supported by the machine base, a protruding piece is provided at the other end of the support member, the spring is constituted by a coil spring, the coil spring is installed between the protruding piece and the machine base, and the stopper is The projecting piece is constituted by an abutting member which abuts on the projecting piece so as to prevent the rotation of the projecting piece due to the urging force of the coil spring, and is provided on the machine base with the position of contact with the projecting piece being variable.
By simply changing the abutting position of the abutting member as a stopper and rotating the support member, the lower limit position of movement of the sticking roller to the article side can be positioned. Work can be easily performed.

In this case, the contact member is constituted by a bolt, and the bolt is inserted into the machine base to form a long hole that makes the contact position of the bolt with respect to the protruding piece variable, and is screwed into the bolt and tightened. Therefore, it is effective to have a configuration in which a nut for positioning the bolt with respect to the long hole is provided.
If the bolt as a stopper is loosened and the bolt is moved up and down with respect to the long hole, the point of action of the bolt with respect to the protruding piece changes, and the support member rotates accordingly. Then, the bolt is fixed to the nut at a required position. Thereby, the movement lower limit position to the article | item side of the sticking roller in a support member is positioned. In this case, since the position of the sticking roller relative to the article can be adjusted only by adjusting the position of the bolt, the adjustment work is easily performed.

According to the label applicator of the present invention, the press contact force of the applicator roller to the article can be easily adjusted by the press contact force adjustment mechanism. It is possible to ensure that the label can be reliably attached with the optimal value.
Further, the sticking roller is rotatably held by a support member that is movably supported by the machine base, the support member is urged by a spring, and the lower limit position of the sticking roller to the article side of the support member is positioned by the stopper. In such a case, the sticking roller does not move to the article side from the movement lower limit position because the protruding piece contacts the stopper, so that excessive force due to the urging force of the coil spring does not act on the label. Because it can move only above the lower limit movement position against the urging force of the coil spring, it can absorb some errors in the thickness of the label and errors in the attachment position of the article. It is possible to ensure that the label can be applied with optimum application conditions.

The pressing force adjusting mechanism 73 is configured such that the cam followers 72 of the first and second links 61 and 62 can be moved forward and backward with respect to the cam 71 and can be locked at appropriate forward and backward positions. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the cam follower 72 is formed in a plate shape and has a long hole 74 extending in the forward / backward direction. Each link is screwed with a screw 75 that is inserted into the long hole 74 and locks the cam follower 72 at an appropriate forward / backward position by tightening. Reference numeral 76 denotes an adjusting bolt screwed into the first and second links 61 and 62 so that the cam follower 72 can advance and retreat, and the tip of the cam follower 72 abuts against a base plate 77 fixed to the back surface of the cam follower 72 to advance the cam follower 72. The length is specified. Reference numeral 78 denotes a lock nut that locks the adjusting bolt 76.

Therefore, according to the label sticking apparatus T according to this embodiment, prior adjustment is performed in advance.
First, as shown in FIG. 5, in the sticking unit 40, the press contact force of the sticking roller 42 to the article W is adjusted by the press contact force adjusting mechanism 43. In this adjustment, the bolt 46 a which is the stopper 46 is loosened and the bolt 46 a is moved up and down with respect to the long hole 48. Thereby, the action point of the bolt 46a with respect to the protrusion piece 47 changes, and the support member 44 rotates according to this. Then, the bolt 46a is fastened and fixed to the nut 49 at a required position. Thereby, the movement lower limit position P to the goods W side of the sticking roller 42 in the support member 44 is positioned. The affixing roller 42 can move above the movement lower limit position P against the urging force of the coil spring 45, but the downward movement (the article W side) is prevented because the protruding piece 47 contacts the bolt 46a. Is done.
In this case, the support member 44 can be rotated and supported, and the support member 44 can be rotated simply by changing the contact position of the bolt 46a (contact member) as the stopper 46. The movement lower limit position P toward the article W can be easily positioned, the mechanism is simple, the operability is good, and the adjustment work can be easily performed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the pressing force adjusting mechanism 73 adjusts the pressing force of the first and second pressing rollers 51 and 52 against the conveying roller 50. FIG. 10 shows the state of adjustment in the first pressing roller 51, but the same applies to the second pressing roller 52.
In this adjustment, the screw 75 and the lock nut 78 are loosened, the cam follower 72 is moved forward (FIGS. 10 (a1) and (a2)) or moved backward (FIGS. 10 (b1) and (b2)), and the adjusting bolt 76 is moved. The cam follower 72 is positioned at a required position by moving back and forth. Then, the screw 75 and the lock nut 78 are tightened and locked. As a result, the pressing force of the cam follower 72 by the cam 71 is defined, and as a result, the pressing force of the pressing rollers 51 and 52 provided at one end of the links 61 and 62 against the conveying roller 50 is adjusted. Since the pressing force can be adjusted simply by moving and positioning the cam followers 72 with respect to the corresponding cams 71, the structure is simple and the adjustment work can be easily performed.

  By adjusting the pressing force of the pressing rollers 51 and 52 of the pressing force adjusting mechanism 73 with respect to the conveying roller 50, the belt-like mount S is smoothly conveyed. That is, the belt-like mount S on the first pressing roller 51 side is thick because the label L is temporarily attached, and the belt-like mount S on the second pressing roller 52 side is thin because there is no label L. Therefore, although the paper thickness of the upstream belt-like backing sheet S and the downstream belt-like backing paper S is different, the pressing force adjusting mechanism 73 can adjust the pressing force of the first and second pressing rollers 51 and 52 against the conveying roller 50. Thus, slipping with respect to the transport roller 50 can be suppressed to achieve an appropriate transport state.

Next, the case where this apparatus is operated is demonstrated. As shown in FIGS. 7A and 8A, the operation lever 32 of the tension roller switching mechanism 30 and the pressing roller switching mechanism 70 is set to the effective position A.
As a result, first, as shown in FIG. 4, in the tension adjusting mechanism 10, the wire 33 provided on the rotation shaft 31 is loosened, the tension of the swing shaft 11 by the rotation shaft 31 is released, and the swing shaft 11 is allowed to swing.
8A and 9A, in the moving mechanism 60, the cam 71 provided on the rotating shaft 31 presses the cam followers 72 of the first and second links 61 and 62, and the first The first and second links 61 and 62 are rotated against the urging force of the coil spring 64. Thus, the first and second pressing rollers 51 and 52 are positioned at the pressing position X.
In this case, the first and second pressing rollers 51 and 52 can be simultaneously positioned at the pressing position X only by rotating the operation lever 32, so that the operability is improved and the working efficiency is improved.
In addition, when the first and second pressing rollers 51 and 52 are positioned at the pressing position X, the first and second pressing rollers 51 and 52 with respect to the conveying roller 50 have some axial deflection due to the bending of the shaft 81 or the like. In addition, since the support member 80 rotates, the shaft runout is absorbed, and the surfaces of the first and second pressing rollers 51 and 52 are evenly pressed against the surface of the transport roller 50.

In this state, the apparatus is operated. As shown in FIG. 1, when the article W is conveyed by the conveyor C and the article W comes to the pasting position, the stepping motor 53 is driven, the conveying roller 50 and the take-up reel 6 are rotated, and the belt-like mount S is labeled. Convey one L sheet.
In the affixing unit 40, the belt-like mount S conveyed to the peeling plate 41 is turned and conveyed at the tip of the peeling plate 41, and the label L is peeled off from the belt-like mount S and fed straight out. The label L fed straight is pressed by the sticking roller 42 and stuck to the article W.
In this case, since the pressing force of the sticking roller 42 to the article W is adjusted by the pressing force adjusting mechanism 43, the label L is reliably stuck. In the affixing portion 40, the protruding piece 47 of the pressure contact force adjusting mechanism 43 abuts against the stopper 46, so that the affixing roller 42 does not move from the movement lower limit position P to the article W side. The force does not act on the label L, and it can move only above the movement lower limit position P against the urging force of the coil spring 45. An error in the vertical position of the surface can be absorbed, and the label L can be reliably affixed by optimizing the affixing conditions according to the article W and the label L.
The strip-shaped mount S from which the label L has been peeled off at the tip of the peeling plate 41 is taken up by the take-up reel 6.

  In the conveyance of the belt-like mount S, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the belt-like mount S is fed out from the supply reel 2. At this time, the arm 12 is coiled via the tension roller 13 of the tension adjusting mechanism 10. The spring 14 oscillates against the biasing force of the spring 14 or swings by the biasing force, whereby the tension of the belt-like mount S is adjusted, and the slack of the belt-like mount S is absorbed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7A, if the supply reel 2 rotates too much and the amount of feeding of the strip-shaped mount S increases, the tension of the strip-shaped mount S decreases, so that the arm 12 moves the coil spring 14. The brake member 17 provided as a brake means provided on the arm 12 abuts on the outer peripheral edge of the disk 4 of the supply reel 2 to brake the rotation of the supply reel 2. Therefore, since the rotation of the supply reel 2 is stopped or decelerated, excessive feeding of the belt-like mount S is suppressed, arm interference is prevented, and the function of the tension adjusting mechanism 10 is maintained, so The positional deviation of the label L of the belt-like mount S is surely prevented.

  Further, in this case, when the arm 12 swings by being pulled by the urging force of the coil spring 14 and the braking member 17 provided on the arm 12 tries to contact the outer peripheral edge of the disk 4 of the supply reel 2, the damper 20, the swing speed of the arm 12 is reduced. Therefore, a situation where the supply reel 2 is suddenly stopped is prevented, and a large tension is not suddenly applied to the strip-shaped mount S, so that a load on the transport motor of the strip-shaped mount S is reduced.

  Further, in the conveyance of the belt-like mount S, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the belt-like mount S on the first pressing roller 51 side is thick because the label L is temporarily attached, and the second pressing roller The band-side mount S on the 52 side is thin because there is no label L. Therefore, the thickness of the upstream band-like mount S is different from that of the downstream band-like mount S. Since the pressing force of the second pressing rollers 51 and 52 against the conveying roller 50 is adjusted, the sliding with respect to the conveying roller 50 is suppressed and smooth conveyance is performed. In this case, even if the first and second pressing rollers 51, 52 with respect to the conveying roller 50 have some axial deflection due to the bending of the shaft 81, the support member 80 rotates and the surface of the conveying roller 50 becomes the first surface. Since the surfaces of the first and second pressing rollers 51 and 52 are evenly pressed, smooth conveyance is also performed by this.

  Further, in the first pressing roller 51 and the second pressing roller 52, when the upstream belt-like sheet S is fed faster than the downstream belt-like board S, the upstream belt-like band is formed in front of the second pressing roller 52. Although bending due to excessive delivery of the mount S is likely to occur, each roller surface has a greater frictional resistance against the belt-like mount S on the roller surface of the second pressing roller 52 than on the belt-like mount S on the roller surface of the first pressing roller 51. Therefore, it is possible to strengthen the pulling of the strip-shaped backing sheet S on the downstream side. Therefore, the occurrence of bending due to excessive feeding of the strip-shaped backing sheet S in front of the second pressing roller 52 is suppressed. Smooth conveyance is performed.

Next, a case will be described in which the present apparatus is stopped and, for example, a new strip mount S is set on the supply reel 2 or the strip mount S is adjusted during maintenance. In this case, the operation lever 32 of the tension roller switching mechanism 30 and the pressure roller switching mechanism 70 is set to the invalid position B.
As a result, first, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7B, in the tension adjustment mechanism 10, the wire 33 is reversely rotated against the urging force of the coil spring 14 in the wire 33, thereby causing the wire 33 to rotate. It is pulled and held. Therefore, the swing of the arm 12 due to the urging force of the coil spring 14 is stopped and the braking member 17 is held away from the supply reel 2, so that the supply reel is not affected by the movement of the arm 12 or the braking member 17. 2 can be equipped with the belt-like mount S.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 6, 7B, 8B, and 9B, in the moving mechanism 60, the cam 71 provided on the rotating shaft 31 includes the first and second links 61, The first and second links 61 and 62 are rotated by the urging force of the coil spring 64 by retreating from the cam follower 72 of 62. Accordingly, the first and second pressing rollers 51 and 52 are positioned at the separation position Y. In this case, the first and second pressing rollers 51 and 52 can be positioned at the separation position Y only by the rotation of the operation lever 32, the operability is improved, and the working efficiency is improved. In addition, since the first pressing roller 51 and the second pressing roller 52 are moved simultaneously, the workability is better than the case where they are moved individually, and the work for removing the strip mount S and passing the paper is accurate. Can be carried out in a short time, and the working efficiency can be greatly improved.

  Then, when the apparatus is operated again after the paper is passed, the operation lever 32 of the tension roller switching mechanism 30 and the pressing roller switching mechanism 70 is again set to the effective position A in the same manner as described above.
