Description

  The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for attaching a non-contact type data carrier member such as an interposer to another non-contact type data carrier member such as an antenna or a product such as a card.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless tag includes an interposer 2 that is a non-contact type data carrier member on an antenna 1 that is a non-contact type data carrier member. The end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 are electrically connected by an interposer 2, and the antenna 1 to which the interposer 2 is attached is entirely covered with a protective layer (not shown) such as a resin film.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the antenna 1 is formed by attaching a conductive layer having a desired pattern to the surface of a sheet-like base material 3 made of, for example, paper or resin. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the interposer 2 is formed by electrically connecting strip-like conductive sheets 5 and 5 to electrodes (not shown) on both sides of the IC chip 4, respectively, as shown in FIG. Further, the conductive sheets 5 and 5 on both sides are joined to the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 so as to be conductive. The conductive sheets 5 and 5 have the same layer structure as that of the antenna 1 and are formed by laminating a conductive layer on a substrate that is relatively thinner than the substrate 3 of the antenna 1.

  Conventionally, the interposer 2 and the antenna 1 before being assembled as a wireless tag are formed on separate continuous base materials at a pitch corresponding to each size. In order to join the interposer 2 to the antenna 1, the base material of the interposer 2 and the base material of the antenna 1 are arranged in parallel, and each of them is intermittently conveyed by one pitch, and is punched when one base material is temporarily stopped. One interposer 2 is punched out by the machine. The punched interposer 2 is attracted by the transport robot by the suction head, transported onto one antenna 1, and placed on the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1. The interposer 2 placed on the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 is bonded to the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 by ultrasonic vibration or the like. The base material of the antenna 1 to which the interposer 2 is bonded is wound up, and then divided for each pitch of the antenna 1 and subjected to a desired process to form a wireless tag.

  Conventionally, a system in which the punched interposer 2 is sent to the antenna 1 via two rotating bodies has been proposed instead of the method of transferring the punched interposer 2 onto the antenna 1 by a transfer robot. This is because one punched interposer 2 is received by the holder of the first rotating body and transferred to the holder of the second rotating body, and the interposer 2 received by the second rotating body is placed on the antenna 1. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

Adhesion between the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 and the conductive sheets 5 and 5 of the interposer 2 is performed by the conductive adhesive applied by the gluing roller 14, so that the interposer 2 is attached to the antenna 1 at the same time. The space is electrically connected.

  The winding roll 11b of the superposed body of the continuous base materials 13 and 11 thus wound is divided for each antenna 1 thereafter. The antenna 1 and the interposer 2 thereon are protected while being sandwiched by the base materials 13 and 11 from both sides.

<Embodiment 4>
As shown in FIG. 9, the fourth embodiment is different from the third embodiment in that the gluing roller 14 is omitted, and instead of the nip roller 15, the caulking roller 10a and the pressure roller 10b are the same as those in the first embodiment. Is provided.

  When the two continuous base materials 13 and 11 and the insulating base material 16 pass while being pressed between the caulking roller 10 a and the pressure roller 10 b, the conductive sheets 5 and 5 of the interposer 2 are connected to the antenna 1. Embossed together with the end portions 1a and 1b, and the base materials 13 and 11 are fitted and connected. At the same time, the conductive layers of the conductive sheets 5 and 5 are in contact with the conductive layers as the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1. The interposer 2 is electrically connected to the antenna 1.

  In the first to fourth embodiments, the interposer and the antenna are described as being supplied in a single row. However, the interposer can be supplied to a plurality of antennas at the same time by supplying a plurality of rows. The mounted body can also be a non-contact data carrier member other than an antenna, or a product such as a card. It is also possible to transport the mounted body at a constant pitch by a transport device such as a belt conveyor instead of the continuous base material.

  In the first embodiment, the surface of the continuous base material opposite to the surface on which the IC chip is attached faces the antenna. However, the surface on which the IC chip is attached faces the antenna. In the second embodiment, the surface on which the IC chip is attached to the continuous base material faces the antenna, but the surface opposite to the surface on which the IC chip is attached is used as the antenna. It is also possible to face each other. In that case, for example, a non-conductive paint or the like is applied in advance to a predetermined portion so that portions other than the end portion of the antenna do not contact the conductive layer of the conductive sheet in the interposer.
