Description

  The present invention relates to a laminating apparatus for laminating a strip-shaped laminate film to a strip-shaped label original and a label printing machine including the laminating apparatus.

  Conventionally, in a label printing machine that performs predetermined printing on a strip-shaped label original, in order to protect the printing surface of the label, a strip-shaped laminate film can be bonded to the label original after printing in the manufacturing process. Has been done. At the time of this bonding, if the laminate film is applied to the label original with a strong tension (tension) applied, the laminate film shrinks in an attempt to return to its original state. Warp occurs (see, for example, paragraph 0005 of Patent Document 1). For this reason, conventionally, in order to prevent such warping of the label, adjustment is made so that the tension of the strip-shaped laminate film and the strip-shaped label original is equal. However, it is difficult to adjust and it is difficult to eliminate the warp of the label. Predicting the direction of the label warp in advance, and controlling the direction of the warp I can't. Further, the warping of the label is not intentionally formed, but is caused accidentally due to the inadequate tension adjustment as described above.

  By the way, this type of label is finally used by being affixed to an adherend such as a product, but the warping of the label may act effectively depending on the label affixing method.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the label product 10 is warped with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 5 side of the label product 10 facing inward, the label product 10 having a so-called inward warping is attached to the label product 10 by a machine (machine It is convenient for pasting.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the label product 10 is generally warped in the direction opposite to the inward warping, and the so-called outward warped label product 10 is a work of manually attaching the label product 10 (manual pasting work). Convenient to.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of an example of mechanical pasting, where (a) is an explanatory diagram of a state when the inner warped label product 10 is mechanically pasted, and (b) is a state when the outer warped label product 10 is mechanically pasted. It is explanatory drawing of a state. As shown in the figure, in the case of machine bonding, the label product 10 is peeled off from the release paper 6 by sharp bending at the peel plate 40, and then sucked by the suction grid 41 from the surface thereof to adhere (not shown) ) For this reason, a so-called outwardly warped label product (see FIG. 6) is shown in FIG. 7 (b) due to the transfer of glue to the end and surface of the label product 10 that occurs when die-cutting into a predetermined label shape. As described above, a suction error in which the label product 10 sticks to the suction grid 41 is likely to occur. For this reason, in the case of mechanical bonding, a label product 10 having an inner curvature as shown in FIG. 5 is preferable.

  8A and 8B are explanatory diagrams of an example of a manual pasting operation, where FIG. 8A is a diagram illustrating a state in which the outwardly warped label product 10 is manually pasted, and FIG. It is explanatory drawing of the state of. In the case of manual attachment, as shown in FIG. 8A, it is easier to apply the label product 10 by attaching it to the adherend 42 from its end. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8B, both ends of the label product 10 that warps are attached to the adherend first, and the center portion of the label product 10 is attached to the adherend last. Air bubbles and wrinkles are likely to occur. For this reason, in the case of hand-pasting, a label product 10 having an outward curvature as shown in FIG. 6 is preferable.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to be able to positively control the direction of warping of the label product, depending on whether the label product is mechanically attached or manually attached. It is another object of the present invention to provide a laminating apparatus and a label printing machine capable of intentionally producing a label product having a suitable warp.

  In order to achieve the above object, the laminating apparatus of the present invention sandwiches and bonds a strip-shaped label original and a strip-shaped laminate film transported along the transport direction between a laminating roller and an impression roller. In the laminating apparatus having the structure, a label obtained from a bonded product of the label original and the laminate film by relatively displacing the respective axis cores of the laminate roller and the impression cylinder roller in the conveyance direction of the label original A warp control means for controlling the direction of warping of the product is provided.

  Further, the laminating apparatus of the present invention provides the above-mentioned impression cylinder when sandwiching and bonding the belt-like label original and the belt-like laminate film conveyed along the conveyance direction between the lamination roller and the impression cylinder roller. In a laminating apparatus having a structure in which the label original fabric is in contact with the roller side, and the laminate film is in contact with the laminating roller side so that the laminate film is in contact and bonded, The axis of the laminating roller is moved to the upstream side in the conveyance direction of the label original with respect to the axis of the impression cylinder roller as a line segment connecting the axis of the roller and the axis of the impression cylinder roller. In the case of shifting along the outer periphery of the drum roller, while the warpage of the label is outward warpage, the line segment connecting the two shaft cores is the shaft core of the pressure drum roller. As inclined in the conveying direction downstream side of the label raw as a reference, the axis of the laminating roller, wherein the shifted along the circumference of the impression cylinder roller.

  The laminating apparatus of the present invention may comprise tension adjusting means for adjusting the belt-like laminate film to a tension equivalent to that of the belt-like label original.

  In order to achieve the above object, the label printing machine of the present invention has a printing stage and a laminating stage in order from the upstream side to the downstream side in the conveying direction of the belt-shaped label original fabric, The laminating apparatus is provided with printing means for performing printing on the surface of the label original, and the laminating stage has a laminating apparatus for bonding the belt-like laminating film to the printing surface of the belt-like label original after printing fed from the printing stage. In the label printing machine provided, the laminating apparatus has a structure in which the strip-shaped label original and the strip-shaped laminate film are sandwiched and bonded between a laminating roller and an impression cylinder roller, and the laminating roller The labels of the impression cylinder rollers are shifted by relatively shifting the axis of the impression cylinder roller in the conveying direction of the label original fabric. Characterized by including a warp control means for controlling the direction of warpage of labeled products resulting from the bonding products of the reaction and the laminate film.

  The label printing machine of the present invention has a printing stage and a lamination stage in order from the upstream side to the downstream side in the transport direction of the strip-shaped label original fabric, and the printing stage has a surface on the surface of the strip-shaped label original fabric. In a label printing machine provided with printing means for performing printing, wherein the laminating stage is provided with a laminating device for laminating the laminating laminate film on the printing surface of the belt-like label original film after printing fed from the printing stage In the laminating apparatus, when the strip-shaped label original and the strip-shaped laminate film are sandwiched and bonded between the laminate roller and the impression cylinder roller, the label original is in contact with the impression cylinder roller side. The laminate film is sandwiched and bonded so that the laminate film is in contact with the laminate roller side. In the manufacturing laminating apparatus, when the warping of the label product is an inward warping, the line segment connecting the axis of the laminating roller and the axis of the impression cylinder roller is based on the axis of the impression cylinder roller. When the axis of the laminating roller is shifted along the outer periphery of the impression cylinder roller so as to incline toward the upstream side in the conveying direction of the original fabric, on the other hand, The axis of the laminating roller is shifted along the outer periphery of the impression cylinder roller so that a line segment connecting the two is inclined to the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the label original with respect to the axis of the impression cylinder roller. To do.

  The label printing machine of the present invention may comprise tension adjusting means for adjusting the belt-like laminate film to a tension equivalent to that of the belt-like label original.

  In the laminating apparatus and the label printing machine of the present invention, as a basic idea for controlling the direction of warping of the label product, first, in order to prepare the control system, the tension of the strip-shaped laminate film and the strip-shaped label source are controlled. The opposite tension should be adjusted equally. Since this adjustment is merely to establish a system for controlling the direction of the warp of the label, it is sufficient if it is performed to the extent that it does not hinder the control of the direction of the warp, and a strict adjustment is not necessary. Then, under the control system maintained as described above, the label is actively warped. This intentionally provided label warpage is formed by relatively shifting the axis of each of the laminating roller and the impression cylinder roller. For example, when it is desired to obtain an inward-warped label product, a line segment connecting the axis of the laminating roller and the shaft of the impression cylinder is inclined to the upstream side in the conveying direction with respect to the axis of the impression roller. Shift both shaft cores relatively. On the other hand, when it is desired to obtain a label product with outward warpage, the axis of the laminating roller is pressed so that the line connecting the two axes is inclined to the downstream side in the transport direction with respect to the axis of the impression cylinder roller. What is necessary is just to shift to the outer peripheral direction of a trunk | drum roller.

  According to the present invention, by adopting a configuration in which the direction of the warp of the label product obtained from the bonded product of the label original and the laminate film is controlled by relatively shifting the axis of each of the laminate roller and the impression cylinder roller. Therefore, it is possible to positively control the direction of warping of the label product, and it is possible to intentionally manufacture a label product with a suitable warp according to the mechanical sticking or manual sticking operation of the label product.

  The label printing machine 1 of FIG. 1 is configured to convey a belt-like label original H from the feeding roller unit 2 to the winding roller unit 3 by the feeding roller unit 2 and the winding roller unit 3. Yes. Therefore, in the label printing machine 1 in the figure, the direction from the feed roller unit 2 side to the take-up roller unit 3 side is the transport direction L of the belt-shaped label original fabric H.

  In the strip-shaped label original fabric H, the label base material 4 is temporarily attached to the release paper 6 via the adhesive layer 5 (see FIG. 3A), and in this state is wound into a roll. In this embodiment, the roll of the label original fabric H (hereinafter referred to as “label original fabric roll 7”) is set in front of the feeding roller section 2, and the label original fabric H is pulled out from the set label original fabric roll 7. The feeding roller unit 2 is supplied.

  The feeding roller unit 2 is composed of a driving roller 2-2 driven by a motor (not shown) and a nip roller 2-1 that sandwiches the label original fabric H between the driving rollers 2-2. , A driving roller 3-2 driven by a motor (not shown) and a nip roller 3-1 that sandwiches the label original fabric H between the driving rollers 3-2, and the belt-like label original fabric H is taken up from the feeding roller unit 2. In the range up to the roller portion 3, the roller portions 2 and 3 are adjusted so that a predetermined tension is applied.

  The label printing machine 1 of the present embodiment is provided with a printing stage S1, a laminating stage S2, a die cutting stage S3, and a residue raising stage S4 in order from the upstream side to the downstream side in the transport direction L of the strip-shaped label original fabric H. .

  The outline of these stages S1 to S4 will be described. In the printing stage S1, a strip-shaped label original fabric H is fed out from the feeding roller section 2, and printing is performed on the upper surface of the strip-shaped label original fabric H (FIG. 3B). )reference). As the printing means, a printing machine such as a relief printing machine, a flexographic printing machine, an offset printing machine, or a known printer such as an ink jet printer, a thermal printer, or a laser printer can be used.

  In the laminating stage S2, the belt-shaped laminated film original fabric I is a state in which the laminated film base material J and the laminated adhesive film 17 composed of the adhesive layer 17 and the release film 18 are temporarily attached to the adhesive layer 17 side ( 3) and is set on a roller R as a laminate film original roll 19 (see FIG. 1). Then, in the laminate stage S2, the laminate film 8 is bonded to the printing surface of the strip-shaped label original fabric H that has been fed out from the printing stage S1 (see FIGS. 3C and 3D).

  In the die-cut stage S3, the flat-pressure die-cutting device 9 performs half-cutting on the bonded product obtained by bonding the strip-shaped label original fabric H and the strip-shaped laminate film 8 on the laminate stage S2 (see FIG. 3 (e)). . That is, in the die-cut stage S3, a predetermined shape is cut from the laminate film 8 side by the cutter blade (not shown) until the release paper 6 is reached, thereby forming the final label product contour C (see FIG. 2).

  In the present embodiment, the area inside the contour C, that is, the area inside the die cut line is the final label product 10 (see FIG. 3G), and the label base material 4 and the adhesive on which the other laminated film 8 is bonded. The layer 5 is removed as a residue portion 11 at the next residue raising stage S4 (see FIG. 3F). And the said label product 10 is finally wound up by the product winding roll 12 via the winding roller part 3, with the state temporarily attached to the release paper 6. FIG.

  The laminating stage S2 will be described in detail. A laminating apparatus 14 is provided in the laminating stage S2 of the present embodiment. As a basic structure of the laminating apparatus 14, a configuration is adopted in which the strip-shaped label original fabric H after printing and the strip-shaped laminate film 8 are sandwiched and bonded between the laminating roller 15 and the impression cylinder roller 16. . The laminating roller 15 and the impression cylinder 16 are arranged so that their outer peripheral surfaces are opposed to each other with the label original fabric H and the laminating film 8 therebetween, and centering on the respective shaft cores 15-1 and 16-1. It is provided rotatably. When the label original fabric H and the laminate film 8 are bonded together, the label original fabric H is in contact with the impression cylinder roller 16 side, and the laminate film 6-1 is in contact with the laminate roller 15 side. The impression roller 16 is rotationally driven by a motor (not shown), while the laminating roller 15 is configured as a free roller that is not rotationally driven by power.

  The laminate film original I set on the roller R is fed out from the laminate film roll 19 by a laminate film feed roller 22-1 and a nip roller 22-2 driven by a motor (not shown), and on the downstream side in the feed direction. The tension roller 20 is provided with a dancer roller 23 at the end of the tension applying arm 20 and a roller 24, and passes between a pair of upper and lower peeling rollers 25-1 and 25-2 and is supplied between the laminating roller 15 and the impression cylinder roller 16. Is done. At that time, the release film 18 temporarily attached to the laminate film 8 is peeled upward with the release roller 25-1 as a boundary, and taken up by the release paper take-up roll 26.

  The strip-shaped laminate film 8 has a structure in which a predetermined tension is applied by a spring 21 attached to a tension applying arm 20, and the label roll H is also provided by the feeding roller unit 2 and the take-up roller unit 3. Equivalent tension is applied.

  Further, the laminating apparatus 14 of the present embodiment is provided with a warpage control means 27. The warp control means 27 relatively shifts the positions of the shaft cores 15-1 and 16-1 of the laminating roller 15 and the impression cylinder roller 16 in the conveying direction of the label original fabric, thereby causing the label original fabric H and the laminate film to move. 8 is a means for controlling the direction of warping of the label product 10 obtained from the 8 bonded product.

  As described above, the axial cores 15-1 and 16-1 of the laminating roller 15 and the impression cylinder roller 16 (hereinafter, the axial core 15-1 of the laminating roller 15 is referred to as “laminating roller axial core 15-1”, In the warp control means 27 of the present embodiment, the pressure core roller core 16 is configured so that the position of the shaft core 16-1 of the pressure drum roller 16 is relatively shifted. -1 is fixed (reference) and the first and second arms 28 and 29 are used to shift the position of the laminating roller shaft 15-1 along the outer periphery of the impression cylinder roller 16. ing. In this structure, the impression cylinder roller core 16-1 is attached to a support plate 30 provided on the side of the label original fabric H, and its position is fixed. The first arm 28 is disposed on the upstream side in the conveying direction of the label original fabric H with respect to the impression drum roller shaft core 16-1, and is attached to the support plate 30 with a first bolt 28-1. The second arm 29 is attached to the other end side of the first bolt 28-1 of the first arm 28 with the second bolt 29-1. And the structure which attached the lamination roller axial core 15-1 to the other end side of the 2nd volt | bolt 29-1 of this 2nd arm 29 is employ | adopted. Accordingly, by loosening the first and second bolts 28-1 and 29-1, the laminating roller shaft core 15-1 is set to a predetermined amount in the outer circumferential direction of the pressure drum roller 16 with respect to the pressure drum roller shaft core 16-1. Can be shifted.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the line segment M connecting the laminating roller shaft core 15-1 and the impression cylinder shaft core 16-1 is the label original fabric H with reference to the impression cylinder roller shaft 16-1. By shifting the laminating roller shaft core 15-1 along the outer periphery of the impression drum roller 16 so as to incline toward the upstream side in the conveyance direction L, the final warpage of the label product 10 is always the same for any label product 10. As shown in FIG. In the opposite direction, that is, as shown in FIG. 4C, the lamination is performed so that the line segment M is inclined to the downstream side in the transport direction L of the label original fabric H with respect to the impression cylinder roller core 16-1. By displacing the roller shaft core 15-1 along the outer periphery of the impression cylinder roller 16, the warpage of the final label product 10 is always outward as shown in FIG.

  Therefore, when it is desired to obtain the label product 10 having the inward curvature as shown in FIG. 5, the positions of the laminating roller shaft core 15-1 and the impression roller roller shaft core 16-1 are intentionally set as shown in FIG. In order to obtain a label product 10 that warps as shown in FIG. 6, the laminating roller shaft core 15-1 and the impression cylinder roller shaft are intentionally used as shown in FIG. The position of the core 16-1 may be relatively shifted.

  The case where the positions of the laminating roller shaft core 15-1 and the impression cylinder roller shaft core 16-1 are relatively shifted as shown in FIG. 4B, and the case where they are relatively shifted as shown in FIG. 4C. Then, the direction of warping of the label product 10 is different. Such a phenomenon occurs in that the bonding point P between the strip-shaped label original fabric H and the strip-shaped laminate film 8 is different depending on the direction of relative displacement between the shaft cores 15-1 and 16-1. This is considered to be one factor. Another factor is that the shape of the roller immediately before the exit when the bonded product of the label original H and the laminate film 8 comes out between the laminate roller 15 and the impression cylinder roller 16 is the final product. It is also considered to be transferred to the label product 10. That is, when the positions of the shaft cores 15-1 and 16-1 are relatively shifted as shown in FIG. 4B, the upper outer peripheral circular arc surface of the impression cylinder roller 16 has a roller shape immediately before the exit. This roller shape is curved in the same direction as the inward warping of the label product 10, and since this curved shape is transferred to the label product 10, it is considered that any warpage of the label product 10 becomes inward warping. On the other hand, when the positions of the shafts 15-1 and 16-1 are relatively shifted as shown in FIG. 4C, the lower outer peripheral arc surface of the laminating roller 15 has a roller shape immediately before the exit. This roller shape is curved in the same direction as the outward warping of the label product 10, and since this curved shape is transferred to the label product 10, it is considered that any warpage of the label product 10 becomes an outward warping.

  According to the experimental results, the amount of relative displacement between the laminating roller shaft core 15-1 and the impression cylinder roller shaft core 16-1 required for positively forming inward and outward warping on the label product 10 is determined by the label. A minimum of about 1 mm to 3 mm is sufficient for the conveyance direction of the original fabric H. Further, the maximum deviation is “the radius of the laminating roller + the radius of the impression roller”.

  In the above embodiment, the impression cylinder roller 16 is rotationally driven by a motor (not shown) and the laminating roller 15 is a free roller. However, both the impression cylinder roller 16 and the laminating roller 15 may be rotationally driven rollers.

  In this embodiment, for example, the laminating roller 15 and the impression cylinder roller 16 are in contact with each other in a state where the positions of the laminating roller axis 15-1 and the impression cylinder axis 16-1 are relatively displaced as shown in FIG. However, even when the laminating roller 15 and the impression cylinder roller 16 are not in contact with each other, the warpage of the label product 10 is controlled to be inward or outward as in the case of contact. can do.
