Description

The present invention relates to a method for processing a sheet to be processed, such as a sheet material such as a paper sheet or a plastic sheet (film), or a half-cut process, and a flexible die (sheet-like blade plate). .

  Conventionally, as a method of punching and half-cutting, a die board such as a veneer plate is subjected to grooving according to the punching pattern, and a strip-shaped blade (Thomson blade) is inserted into the processed groove. The die is attached to a press machine or the like, and a method of punching or half-cutting a plastic sheet or the like is employed.

Recently, a method of punching or half-cutting a sheet to be processed such as a paper sheet or a plastic sheet by using a rotary processing apparatus has been adopted (for example, see Patent Document 1). Specifically, a flexible die having a pressing blade with a pattern according to the shape of the cutting line is produced on one side of a flexible base (ferromagnetic material), and this flexible die is wound around a magnet roll of a rotary processing apparatus. A sheet to be processed is passed between the anvil roll (cylinder) adjacent to the magnet roll, and the sheet to be processed is cut by a pressing blade as the magnet roll and the anvil roll rotate, and the sheet to be processed is provided. Punching and half cutting.
JP 2002-221220 A

  In punching and half-cutting using a flexible die having the press cutting blade, since the long processing target sheet passes between the magnet roll and the anvil roll, the processing of the press cutting blade and the processing target sheet is performed. Deviation in the target sheet flow direction is likely to occur. Such deviation has a problem that the machining pitch becomes unstable and the machining accuracy is lowered.

  Therefore, there is a case where tension is applied in the feeding direction of the long sheet to be processed. In such a case, a device for applying a dedicated tension separately is required. Moreover, it is difficult to apply a constant tension in the feeding direction of the processing target sheet with such an apparatus.

  Further, in the case of a sheet to be processed that is easily stretched, such as a film, it is not desirable to perform processing while applying tension in the feed direction of the sheet to be processed. In particular, in a device that removes a liquid crystal sheet or double-sided tape for a small-sized device such as a mobile phone, it may not be possible to remove it by applying tension. When the punching process is performed without applying tension to the processing target sheet as described above, there is a problem that the processing target sheet slips between the press cutting blade and the anvil roll and the processing dimensional accuracy is not high.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of such circumstances, and can stably perform punching and half-cutting of a sheet to be processed of any material and type, and improve processing accuracy. And

  The method for processing a sheet to be processed according to the present invention is such that the sheet to be processed is passed between a die roll having a protruding pressing blade on its surface and a receiving cylinder facing the die roll, and the die roll and the receiving cylinder are passed. A processing method of a processing target sheet for giving a cut by the pressing blade to the processing target sheet in accordance with the rotation of the cutting target blade, wherein a cutting blade is provided on the die roll surface and on both outer sides of the pressing blade, and the cutting blade is processed into the processing target sheet. In this state, the cut sheet is cut by the press cutting blade in a state of being cut into the workpiece.

  The flexible die of the present invention is a flexible die comprising a flexible base wound around a roller disposed opposite to a receiving cylinder, and a protruding pressing blade provided on the surface of the flexible base. There is a disposition blade that bites into the processing target sheet on both outer sides of the press cutting blade.

  In the present invention, since the cutting blade provided on the die roll surface is bitten into the processing target sheet, the processing target sheet is cut by the press cutting blade. Does not become unstable. As a result, even if the processing target sheet is easily stretched, such as a film, it is possible to stably perform punching processing and half-cut processing of the processing target sheet, and to improve processing accuracy. .

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an example of a flexible die according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a rotary processing apparatus of this embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the rotary processing apparatus 1 includes a bearing (not shown) such that a magnet roll 5 as a cylindrical roller and a cylindrical receiver (anvil roll) 6 are opposed to each other on the apparatus frame 2. It is supported so that it can rotate freely. A flexible die 10 is wound around the magnet roll 5. The magnet roll 5 and the receiving cylinder 6 are rotated and driven at a predetermined speed in conjunction with a motor (not shown). The magnet roll 5 and the flexible die 10 constitute a die roll 7.

  On the surface of the flexible base 12 of the flexible die 10, as shown in FIG. 1, a cut pattern P formed by forming the linear cutting blades 13 in a rectangular shape is predetermined in the magnet roll winding direction R (winding direction R). A plurality of arrays are arranged at intervals of. Note that a plurality of cut patterns P can be arranged at a predetermined interval in a direction (flexible die width direction) orthogonal to the roll winding direction R.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the press cutting blade 13 is a blade for cutting the processing target sheet to a predetermined depth with a sharp cutting edge 13a. The blade height of the pressing blade 13 is appropriately set according to the punching blade or the half-cutting blade.

  A discarding blade 15 is provided on the same surface as the pressing blade 13 in the flexible base 12. The scraping blades 15 are provided on both sides in the flexible die width direction (both outer sides of the pressing blade 13) with respect to the pressing blade 13 and the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the flexible die 10 which is the roller winding direction R.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3A, the discard blade 15 is configured by arranging a large number of inclined linear convex blades 16 with a predetermined pitch. That is, the convex blade 16 is inclined toward the downstream side in the feeding direction of the processing target sheet (X direction shown in FIG. 1) from the inner end (upstream end) 16a toward the outer end (downstream end) 16b. The inclination angle α of the convex blade 16 is set to 10 ° to 80 ° with respect to the flexible die width direction, and is preferably set to about 60 ° or about 45 °.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3A, the inner end 16a of the convex blade 16 and the outer end 16b of the adjacent convex blade 16 are not discontinuous with respect to the feed direction X of the processing target sheet. Overlap by a predetermined distance L1. In addition, the upstream end 16a of the convex blade 16 and the downstream end 16b of the adjacent convex blade 16 may be the same with respect to the feeding direction X of the processing target sheet and may not overlap each other.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the cutting edge 16c of the convex blade 16 is formed in a tapered shape enough to bite into the processing target sheet, and the cutting edge 16c has a predetermined height on the processing sheet. It is set lower by a predetermined length L2 than the blade height of the pressing blade 13 so as to bite. Here, the cutting edge 16c bites into the work sheet when the cutting edge 16c cuts the work sheet by a predetermined amount or does not cut the work sheet but presses the work sheet toward the receiving cylinder 6 side. Say.

  Moreover, even if the blade height of the convex blade 16 is equivalent to the blade height of the press cutting blade 13, the blade height of the convex blade 16 can be made higher than the blade height of the press cutting blade 13.

  In this way, the disposing blade 15 is arranged such that the convex blades 16 are not continuous but have a pitch so that when the flexible die 10 is wound around the magnet roll 5, the bending rigidity (roller) It is possible to prevent an increase in the bending rigidity in the winding direction R). Accordingly, the flexible die 10 is curved and deformed along the outer peripheral surface of the magnet roll 5, so that the flexible die 10 can be easily attached to the magnet roll 5.

  The flexible die 10 can be manufactured by etching or machining a metal plate. If the pressing blade 13 and the cutting blade 15 are formed by etching, the pressing blade 13 and the cutting blade 15 may be further machined by using an NC processing machine or the like, if necessary.

  Next, the case where the rotary processing apparatus 1 provided with the flexible die 10 having the above configuration is used will be described.

  As the processing target sheet S processed by the rotary processing apparatus 1, a laminated sheet having a two-layer structure is illustrated. That is, the upper layer is a sheet S1 as a product, and the lower layer is a release paper (separator) S2.

  When processing the processing target sheet S, first, the flexible die 10 is wound around the upper magnet roll 5 (see FIG. 4). Thus, by attaching each flexible die 10 to the magnet roll 5, each cut pattern P can be opposed to the receiving cylinder 6.

  Further, the magnet roll 5 and the receiving cylinder 6 are rotationally driven in conjunction with each other, and the long processed sheet S is passed between the rotating magnet roll 5 and the receiving cylinder 6 (FIGS. 6 and 7). reference).

  The sheet S to be processed is punched or half cut into the shape of the cut pattern P by the cooperation of the pressing blade 13 of the flexible die 10 and the receiving cylinder 6. Specifically, when one end of the sheet S to be processed is supplied between the flexible die 10 and the receiving cylinder 6, the convex blade 16 of the scraper blade 15 is sequentially processed from the upstream end 16a toward the downstream end 16b. The target sheet S is bitten sequentially (see FIG. 5).

  At this time, the convex blade 16 cuts into the middle of the separator S2 through the sheet S1. As the convex blade 16 bites into the strong separator S2, the biting force is strengthened. Further, since the inner end 16a of the convex blade 16 and the outer end 16b of the adjacent convex blade 16 overlap each other by a predetermined distance L1, the convex blade 16 is continuously bited in the feeding direction of the processing target sheet S. Can do. Since the scraping blades 15 on both sides bite in this way, the processing target sheet S is released from the slack state and is in a tensioned state (a state in which the processing target sheet S is tensioned in any direction in the feed direction and the width direction). Can be maintained.

  As a result, the pressing blade 13 cuts the processing target sheet S that is fixed at a predetermined position with respect to the flexible die 10 by the cutting blade 15 and is not loosened, and the processing position (processing pitch) is not shifted. , Stable machining is possible and machining accuracy is improved.

  8 and 9 show another embodiment of the flexible die 10. The discarding blade 15 of this embodiment is composed of a pair of parallel perforated inner and outer convex blades 16A, B. Note that the same members as those of the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. Specifically, the inner and outer convex blades 16A and 16B are provided at an equal pitch along the roller winding direction R, and the inner convex blade 16A and the outer convex blade 16B are displaced in the roller winding direction R. . When the discard blade 15 is composed of perforated inner and outer convex blades 16A and 16B, the flow direction of the processing target sheet S is not particularly limited. Note that the convex blades 16A and 16B are not limited to two, but can be three or more and a single or multiple.

  Further, the scraping blade 15 may be formed by curving the linear convex blade 16 (see FIG. 10A) or bent in a wave shape (see FIG. 10B). In addition, the scraping blade 15 is one in which the linear convex blades 16 are continuously formed in a concave-convex shape (see FIG. 10C), and the L-shaped convex blades 16 are provided at a constant pitch (FIG. 10D). ))).

  In addition, the sheet | seat used by this invention can use various sheets, such as a label by which release paper was stuck on the back surface, including resin-made sheets, such as paper and a plastic sheet. Further, the sheet to be processed may be a laminated sheet having a three-layer structure or more, or may be a single-layer sheet in the case of punching.

  For example, in the sheet S to be processed having a three-layer structure, a pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to both upper and lower surfaces of a second-layer sheet base material, and the first and third layers are provided on both surfaces of the sheet base material via the pressure-sensitive adhesive. The release paper (separator) which consists of is each stuck so that peeling is possible. The sheet base material (second layer) is cut into a predetermined shape and used as a double-sided tape for fixing electronic components such as a mobile phone.

  In the case of such a processing target sheet S, the scraper blade 15 can bite from the first layer to the middle of the third layer separator. In the case of half-cutting, the pressing blade 13 also cuts the sheet S from the first layer to the middle of the third layer. Thus, in any case of punching or half-cutting, the cutting edge 15 can be bitten to a predetermined depth of the single layer or laminated sheet (a predetermined depth of the lower separator).

  The flexible die 10 can also be provided with a plurality of press cutting blades 13 having different blade heights. In such a case, it is possible to process a laminated sheet having four or more layers.

  Furthermore, the cut pattern of the punching process or the half-cut process is not limited to the rectangular shape, and may be any other shape such as a triangle, a square, or a round shape.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the flexible die | dye used for the rotary processing apparatus 1 was illustrated, the flexible die | dye is not equipped with the magnet (permanent magnet) other than the flexible die | dye used by mounting | wearing with a magnet roll. It can also be applied to a flexible die mounted on a roller.
