Transmit as a wave (signal including tag ID).

  The clock extraction unit 84 extracts a clock component from the received signal and supplies a clock corresponding to the frequency of the clock component of the received signal to the control unit 83.

  The control unit 83 interprets the received signal demodulated by the modem unit 85, generates a reply signal based on the information signal stored in the memory unit 86, and sends the reply signal to the loop antenna by the modem unit 85. Basic control such as control returned from 62 is executed.

  In FIG. 6, the functional structure of the control system in the tag label production apparatus 1 is shown.

  In FIG. 6, the tag label producing apparatus 1 is provided with a control unit 53 made of, for example, a microprocessor. A communication line NW to which the terminal device DTa and the general-purpose computer DTb are connected is connected to the control unit 53 via an input / output interface 56.

  The input / output interface 56 includes a drive system including a roller drive circuit for driving the tape feeding roller 27 and the like in the cartridge holder 31, a print head drive circuit for driving the print head 23, a solenoid drive circuit for driving the solenoid, and the like. 54 and a transmission / reception circuit 55 connected to the device-side antenna 52 are connected.

  Next, the operation and action of the tag label producing apparatus 1 using the tag tape 101 will be described in order.

  First, in FIG. 4 described above, in a state where the cartridge 3 is mounted in the cartridge holder 31, the tag tape 101 fed out from the tag tape roll 36 is guided by the two guide rollers 33 and 34 and passes through the opening 40c to perform printing. It passes between the head 49 and the platen roller 50. Further, the ink ribbon 44 fed out from the ink ribbon roll 43 overlaps with the tag tape 101 through the opening 40c while being guided and regulated by the regulation protrusions 40d and 40e of the cartridge 3, and passes between the print head 49 and the platen roller 50 as it is. It is in the arrangement state to do.

  Then, when the power button 9 is pressed and the main power is turned on, for example, when an operation input for creating a tag label is made at the terminal device DTa, a corresponding instruction signal is input to the control unit 53 via the input / output interface 56, Tag label creation is started under the control of the control unit 53.

  When the production of the tag label is started, the platen holder 46 is rotated in the clockwise direction in FIG. 4, and the platen roller 50 presses the print head 49 so as to sandwich the tag tape 101 and the ink ribbon 44. At the same time, the platen roller 50 is rotationally driven by the roller drive circuit (not shown) to send (convey) the tag tape 101 and the ink ribbon 44 to the downstream side (left side in FIG. 4).

  Simultaneously with the pressure conveyance by the platen roller 50, the heating element is driven by a print head driving circuit (not shown), and the ink ribbon 44 is placed on the surface of the base film 101a of the tag tape 101 on the print head 49 side (ink ribbon 44 side). Ink is thermally transferred to perform printing. By this printing process, the print character R based on the data input by the terminal device DTa is printed.

  Thereafter, the ink ribbon 44 fed to the downstream side of the print head 49 is separated from the tag tape 101 via the separation member 40 a and then taken up by the ribbon take-up roller 45. Then, the tag tape 101 (printed state, that is, the tag label tape 109 with print), which has been sent to the downstream side of the print head 49 and separated from the ink ribbon 44, is discharged from the discharge port 40b to the outside of the cartridge 3 to be cut by the cutter. It passes through 51 and is sent out in the direction of arrow B, and reaches a position near the device-side antenna 52 (an opposite position).

  The RFID tag circuit element To of the printed tag label tape 109 from which the ink ribbon 44 has been separated after printing is positioned so as to be substantially opposed to the device-side antenna 52 (or close to the communication range). Communication) (information transmission / reception) for reading or writing information is performed via the device-side antenna 52. When writing information, for example, the corresponding information is written based on the data input in the terminal device DTa of FIG. 1, while when the information is read, the read information is displayed on the terminal device DTa, for example. The In this information transmission / reception, the conveyance of the tag tape 101 (tag label tape 109 with print) may be stopped, or the communication may be performed in the conveyance state without stopping.

  When reading or writing of information by the apparatus-side antenna 52 is completed and the RFID circuit element To advances by a predetermined distance, conveyance of the tag tape 101 (printed tag label tape 109) is stopped. Thereafter, the cutter 51 is operated to cut the tag label tape 109 with print, whereby the RFID label T having a predetermined length is obtained. In the series of operations described above, the feeding out of the tag tape 101 from the tag tape roll 36 and the conveyance (feeding) of the tag tape 101 (printed tag label tape 109) are performed by the rotation of the platen roller 50.

  7A to 7C show an example of the arrangement and configuration of the wireless tag main body 90 and the half-cut line HC in the tag tape 101. FIG. FIG. 7A is a plan view of the tag tape 101 as viewed from the arrow C in FIG. 4, and FIG. 7B shows the first tape 101A (and a holding member 95 described later) from the front side. The extracted enlarged view of the VIIb part in FIG. 7 (a) seen through is shown, and FIG. 7 (c) shows the detailed structure of the VIIc part in FIG. 7 (b). 7A to 7C, the direction from the right side to the left side in the longitudinal direction of the tape in the drawing corresponds to the tape transport direction (FIGS. 9 to 12 described later, The same applies to FIG. 14).

  7A to 7C, the tag tape 101 has a plurality of wireless tag main bodies 90 arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction (only one is shown in the figure). . In each of the RFID tag main bodies 90, in this example, the antenna substrate 91 formed in a substantially rectangular shape in the form of a suitable synthetic resin material has a substantially rectangular shape on the front side (front side in FIG. 7). An antenna pattern 62A of the formed loop antenna 62 is disposed. Then, the loop coil-shaped radially outer end 62Aa and the radially inner end 62Ab are arranged in the vicinity of one of the four corners of the substantially rectangular antenna pattern 62A. The first connecting land 93 is connected to the radially outer end 62Aa, and the second connecting land 94 is connected to the other radially inner end 62Ab.

  Each of the first connection land 93 and the second connection land 94 is a thin plate-like conductive member formed in a substantially L-shape, and each short side portion has end portions 62Aa and 62Ab of the antenna pattern 62A and an antenna. The base material 91 is crimped from both the front and back surfaces by the crimping portions 96 and 97 and fixed by crimping. The long side portions of the two connection lands 93 and 94 are arranged on the antenna base 91 side of the long side portions of the two connection lands 93 and 94 in parallel. It is provided so as to overlap in an arrangement straddling the side portion. Each of the connection lands 93 and 94 has a short side portion connected to the end portions 62Aa and 62Ab of the antenna pattern 62A by the crimping portions 96 and 97, and each long side portion has the above overlapping portion and an IC circuit. Connected to the unit 80. Thereby, the IC circuit unit 80 is electrically connected to both ends of the antenna pattern 62 </ b> A of the loop antenna 62 through the connection lands 93 and 94 and is conductive.

  Further, the surface of the two connection lands 93 and 94 including the IC circuit portion 80 is arranged in the thin resin holding member 95 (shown by a broken-line rectangle in FIG. 7B). Covered). The IC circuit unit 80 is held on the surface of the antenna base 91 by the holding member 95 and the connection lands 93 and 94.

  The antenna base 91 is arranged such that the long side of the substantially rectangular shape is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the tape, and the IC circuit portion 80 and the holding member 95 are one end of the antenna base 91 (example shown in the figure). Then, it is arranged at the right end (upstream end in the tape transport direction). The above-described half-cut line HC is formed so as to be slightly separated from the other end of the antenna base 91 in the tape longitudinal direction (the left end in the illustrated example; the downstream end in the tape transport direction). That is, it is provided at a position that is on the other side in the tape longitudinal direction from the antenna base 91 in the plan view (left side in the illustrated example; downstream in the tape transport direction).

  FIG. 8 shows an example of display on the display screen of the terminal device DTa when the RFID label T is created. In this example, the type (access frequency and tag label size) of the RFID label T, the print characters printed by the print head 23, the access ID that is identification information unique to the RFID circuit element To in the RFID label T, and the information shown in FIG. The address of the article information stored in the server IS and the storage destination address of the corresponding information in the route server RS of FIG. 1 are included.

  FIGS. 9A to 9C show an example of the configuration of the RFID label T created from the tag tape 101. FIG. FIG. 9A shows the front surface of the RFID label T, FIG. 9B shows a cross section taken along the section IXb-IXb in FIG. 9A, and FIG. 9C shows the back surface.

  9 (a) to 9 (c), the RFID label T is a tag label tape 109 with print having the above-described 6-layer structure (7-layer structure including the wireless tag main body 90) (= tag tape after printing) 101) is cut at a desired length position (a position that does not overlap with the arrangement area of the wireless tag main body 90), and printed characters R ("RFID" in the illustrated example) are formed on the surface of the first base film 101a. Is printed. The RFID label T is divided into a tag label body T1 on the side including the RFID tag main body 90 and a margin part T2 on the side not including the RFID tag main body 90, with the half-cut line HC interposed therebetween. The surface of T1 becomes a print area for the print character R.

  The wireless tag main body 90 is sandwiched between the first tape 101A and the second tape 101B in the tape thickness direction. In this example, the IC circuit unit 80 protrudes toward the first tape 101A side with respect to the antenna base 91. It is provided as follows.

  FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state where the RFID label T is bent along the half-cut line HC, and corresponds to FIG. 9B.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the user attaches the RFID label T having the above-described configuration to the article, the longitudinal direction of the tape is such that the half-cut line HC is the top with the release paper 101f on the bottom surface. Do a mountain fold. As a result, the corner (or side) CC of the tag label main body T1 is lifted from the release paper 101f, so that the portion of the tag label main body T1 in the five layers other than the release paper 101f is removed from the blank portion T2 by the half-cut line HC. It can be separated at the border and easily peeled off. That is, all the layers other than the release paper 101f among the 6 layers constituting the first tape 101A and the second tape 101B can be easily peeled off from the release paper 101f. As a result, the convenience at the time of labeling can be improved.

  On the other hand, in order to fulfill the communication function as the RFID label T, the electrical connection between the IC circuit unit 80 and the loop antenna 62 in the RFID circuit element To needs to be maintained normally. For example, assuming that the IC circuit unit 80 provided on the antenna substrate 90 is present at a relatively close position from the half-cut line HC when viewed in plan, the RFID label T along the half-cut line HC as described above. When bending is performed, the bending force acting on the peripheral portion of the half-cut line HC acts on the IC circuit portion 80, and the connection portion with the loop antenna 62 is mainly damaged, which may hinder the communication function. .

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the IC circuit unit 80 is disposed at the right end of the antenna base 91 in the figure, and the half-cut line HC is formed so as to be separated from the left end of the antenna base 91 in the figure. Yes. As a result, the arrangement position of the IC circuit unit 80 is sufficiently separated from the peripheral portion of the half-cut line HC (D portion in FIG. 10), and the external force due to the above-described mountain fold acts on the IC circuit unit 80. Can be prevented.

  As a result, according to the RFID label T created using the tag tape 101 of the present embodiment, the convenience at the time of labeling can be improved without hindering the communication function.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the first connection land 93 can reliably establish electrical continuity between the IC circuit portion 80 and the radially outer end portion 62Aa of the antenna pattern 62A, and the second connection land. 94, the electrical continuity between the IC circuit portion 80 and the radially inner end portion 62Ab of the antenna pattern 62A can be reliably performed. Further, the structure in which the IC circuit unit 80 and the antenna pattern 62A are connected via the first and second connection lands 93 and 94 can be used as compared with the case where the IC circuit unit 80 and the antenna pattern 62A are directly coupled. The degree of freedom at the time of manufacture becomes high, and it becomes possible to improve productivity.

  In the present embodiment, the IC circuit unit 80 is disposed at the upstream end of the antenna base 91 in the tape transport direction, and the half-cut line HC is slightly smaller than the downstream end of the antenna base 91 in the tape transport direction. Although the example formed by arrangement | positioning spaced apart only was shown (refer said FIG.7, FIG.9 and FIG.10), it is not restricted to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 11 corresponding to FIG. 9A, the IC circuit unit 80 is disposed at the downstream end (left side in the drawing) of the antenna base 91 in the tape transport direction, and the half-cut line HC May be formed so as to be separated from the upstream end (right side in the drawing) of the antenna base 91 in the tape transport direction. Also in this case, the IC circuit unit 80 is sufficiently separated from the half-cut line HC, and the external force due to the above-described mountain fold can be prevented from acting on the IC circuit unit 80, so that the same effect as described above is obtained.

  Further, the half-cut line HC (cut line) is not limited to be formed so as to extend continuously in the tape width direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 12 corresponding to FIG. You may provide in what is called the perforation shape formed so that it might extend intermittently in the direction. Even in this case, when the mountain fold in the tape longitudinal direction with the half-cut line HC ′ as the top is performed, the tag label main body T1 and the margin part T2 are easily separated from each other with the half-cut line HC ′ as a boundary. be able to. Therefore, five layers other than the release paper 101f of the tag label main body T1 can be easily peeled off from the release paper 101f, and the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  The present invention is not limited to the above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and technical idea of the present invention. Hereinafter, such modifications will be described in order.

(1) In the case of producing a laminate type RFID label In the above embodiment, the present invention is a so-called non-laminate RFID tag T that is produced by directly printing on the surface of a tag tape and attaching nothing. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention may be applied to a so-called laminate type RFID label T ′ using a tape in which a printing cover film 103 is bonded to a tag tape 101.

  FIG. 12 schematically shows the configuration of the main part of the cartridge holder 31 ′ provided in the tag label producing apparatus for producing the laminate type RFID label T ′ and the cartridge 203 mounted therein. This figure corresponds to FIG. 4 in the above embodiment. The same parts as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

  The tag label producing apparatus for producing the laminate type RFID label T ′ is fed from a cover film roll 304 and printed with a cover film (printed tape) 303 printed by a print head 49 ′ using an ink ribbon 305. The tag label tape 309 is printed on the tag tape 301 that has been fed out of the roll 302 by being attached to an adhesive layer (adhesive layer for attachment) 301a provided on the surface of the first base film 301b. The half-cut line HC is formed at a predetermined position of the printed tag label tape 309 with the half cutter 251 leaving only the release paper 301g, and the other predetermined positions (two locations) are completely formed with the cutter 51 '. The RFID tag label T ′ is created by cutting.

  A conveyance driving force to the cover film 303 and the tag tape 301 is given by a tape feed roller 227 driven by a drive shaft 308. The tape feed roller 227 sandwiches the cover film 303 and the tag tape 301 together with the sub roller 228 and presses and presses them. The ink ribbon 305 fed out from the ribbon supply side roll 311 is taken up by the ribbon take-up roller 306 that drives the drive shaft 45a.

  In this example, the tag tape 301 has a seven-layer structure (excluding the wireless tag main body 90 described above) (see a partially enlarged view in FIG. 13), and is wound on the inner side of the tag tape roll 302 (right side in FIG. 13). Further toward the opposite side (left side in FIG. 13; pasting side), an adhesive layer 301a made of an appropriate adhesive, a first base film 301b, an adhesive layer 301c made of an appropriate adhesive, and an appropriate adhesive An adhesive layer 301d made of, a second base film 301e, an adhesive layer (adhesive layer for attachment) 301f made of an appropriate adhesive, for example, a release paper 301g as a release material layer made of paper material, are laminated in this order. It is configured.

  Here, these three layers of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 301a, the first base film 301b, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 301c constitute a first tape 301A. The four layers of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 301d, the second base film 301e, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 301f, and the release paper 301g constitute a second tape 301B. The first tape 301A and the second tape 301B are provided on opposite sides so as to sandwich the plurality of wireless tag main bodies 90.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 14 corresponding to FIG. 9, the laminate type RFID label T ′ produced according to this modification is a tag tape having the above-described seven-layer structure (an eight-layer structure including the wireless tag main body 90). It has an eight-layer structure in which a printed cover film 303 is attached to the surface of 301 (the upper surface in FIG. 14B), and half-cut line HC has seven layers other than release paper 301g in the tape width direction. It is formed so as to cut continuously.

  In this modification, the half-cut line HC is formed by the operation of the half cutter 251 at an appropriate timing during the conveyance of the printed tag label tape 309. Similarly to the above embodiment, the IC circuit unit 80 is disposed at one end (the right end in the illustrated example; the upstream end in the tape transport direction) inside the antenna base 91 and is half-cut. The line HC is formed so as to be slightly spaced from the other end of the antenna base 91 in the tape longitudinal direction (the left end in the illustrated example; the downstream end in the tape transport direction).

  Also in this modification, the same effect as the above embodiment is obtained.

  In the above-described embodiment as well, the half-cut lines HC and HC ′ are formed by the half cutter provided in the tag label producing apparatus (not previously formed at the time of manufacturing the tag tape or the like), as in the modification (1). You may do it. In this case, the same effect is obtained.

(2) Others In the above, the example in which the RFID tag information is written / read / printed on the moving tag tapes 101 and 301 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The printing or reading / writing may be performed by stopping at a predetermined position (further, reading / writing may be held by a predetermined conveyance guide).

  Further, the present invention is not limited to reading or writing the RFID tag information from the IC circuit unit 80 of the RFID circuit element To and printing for identifying the RFID circuit element To by the print head 49. This printing does not necessarily have to be performed, and the present invention can also be applied to those that only read or write the RFID tag information.

  Further, the above description is given by taking as an example a case where the tag tapes 101 and 301 are wound around the reel member to form a roll, and the roll is placed in the cartridge 3 and 203 so that the tag tape 101 and 301 are fed out. However, it is not limited to this. For example, a long flat paper-like or strip-like tape or sheet in which at least one RFID circuit element To is arranged (the one formed by cutting a tape wound around a roll and cutting it to an appropriate length) Are stacked in a predetermined storage unit (for example, stacked in a tray shape) to form a cartridge, and the cartridge is mounted on the cartridge holder 31 on the tag label producing apparatus 1 side and transferred from the storage unit. The RFID labels T and T ′ may be generated by carrying out printing and writing.

  Further, the above-described roll is directly detachably attached to the tag label producing apparatus 1 side, or a long flat paper-like or strip-like tape or sheet is transferred from the outside of the tag label producing apparatus 1 one by one by a predetermined feeder mechanism to form a tag label. It is also possible to consider a configuration for supplying the inside of the production apparatus 1, and it is not limited to the one that can be attached to and detached from the tag label production apparatus 1 main body such as the cartridges 3 and 203, but a so-called installation type or integral type that is not removable from the apparatus main body side. It is also conceivable to provide tag tape rolls 36 and 302. In this case, the same effect is obtained.

  In the above, the arrows shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 show an example of the signal flow, and do not limit the signal flow direction.

  In addition to those already described above, the methods according to the above-described embodiments and modifications may be used in appropriate combination.
