Description

  The present invention relates to a label printer equipped with a label peeling mechanism for peeling a printed label from a mount.

  Generally, as a label printer for producing a label, a label mount having a fixed length of label attached to the surface of a long mount is conveyed via a printing unit, and printed on the label. Later, by transporting the label mount in a direction that bends acutely from the back side by the label peeling mechanism, many printed labels are peeled one by one from the top of the mount and issued from the label issuing port (for example, Patent Document 1).

Such a label issuing mode is usually referred to as a “peeling mode (peeler mode)”.
On the other hand, as another usage mode, there is a mode in which printing is continuously performed for a set number of labels without performing a peeling operation for each printing, and the labels are issued without peeling from the mount. . Such a label issuing mode is usually referred to as a “non-peeling mode (continuous issuing mode)”.

In this non-peeling mode, the label is issued in a form that does not peel from the mount, so the transport path of the mount after the printing unit is different from that in the peel mode. Therefore, when the label mount is set, the transport path of the mount after the printing unit must be selected depending on which mode the label is issued in.
Further, the label board feeding operation at the time of issuing is different between the peeling mode and the non-peeling mode. In the non-peeling mode, continuous feeding is performed, and in the peeling mode, intermittent feeding is performed for each label. Therefore, it is necessary not only to change the board conveyance path, but also to change the paper feed control and print control accordingly.

By the way, in such a label printer, a printer cover that can be opened and closed is provided on the printer main body for exchanging the label mount and removing a paper jam in the mount transport path.
Accordingly, the label mount can be replaced by opening the printer cover and opening the label mount loading section, and the jam can be removed by opening the printer cover and opening the transport path of the mount.

Japanese Patent No. 2992363

  However, for example, the label printer described in Patent Document 1 includes a sheet cover that covers a sheet storage portion (label mount filling portion) of the printer main body, and a printing mechanism and a peeling mechanism of the printer main body that can be opened and closed. The printer cover is provided on the back side and the front side of the printer body.

Therefore, when setting a label sheet (label mount) in the label printer, it is necessary to open the sheet cover and the printer cover at the same time, which is troublesome. In particular, since the seat cover that covers the sheet accommodating portion is large and requires a large opening / closing space, it is more troublesome when the opening / closing operation of the printer cover must be performed in a limited space.
Further, since the label peeling mechanism is accommodated in the printer main body, there is a problem in that workability when removing the mount and the label jammed in the conveyance path of the label peeling mechanism is not good.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a good label printer that can easily perform label mount replacement work, paper jam removal work, etc. in a small open / close space while mounting a label peeling mechanism. Is to provide.

The above-described object of the present invention is to provide a printing mechanism that performs printing on a label while carrying a label mount in which a plurality of labels are attached to a long mount.

A first opening / closing lever for opening / closing the first locking means is provided on the printer cover side; a second opening / closing lever for opening / closing the second locking means is provided on the label peeling mechanism side;
When setting the peeling mode to peel and issue the label from the mount, the mount passes through the paper guide path, and when setting to the non-peeling mode to issue the label without peeling from the mount, Let the label mount pass through the label guide path,
When switching the non-peeling mode and the peel mode, the first locked state the locking means, said by the second closing lever to release the second locking means, to Rukoto to open the label peeling mechanism This is achieved by a label printer characterized by:

According to the label printer having the above configuration, since the label peeling mechanism is mounted on the printer cover, by opening the printer cover, the label mount loading portion of the printer body is opened, and at the same time, the label peeling mechanism is exposed from the printer body. be able to.
Therefore, workability when setting the label mount in the label printer or removing the mount or label jammed in the conveyance path of the label peeling mechanism is improved.
In addition to the first locking means for locking the printer cover in the closed position with respect to the printer body, the second locking means for locking the label peeling mechanism in the closed position with respect to the printer cover is provided. Even when an excessive pulling force is applied to the label peeling mechanism when the mount discharged from the opening or the mount discharge opening is cut, the label peeling mechanism is inadvertently opened unless the second opening / closing lever is operated. There is nothing.

In addition, the label peeling mechanism includes a label guiding path that guides and feeds the label after peeling from the mount to the label issuing port, and guides the label mount to be bent at an acute angle from the back side, and after the label peels A mount guide path for discharging the mount from the mount discharge port is formed, and the label peeling mechanism can be opened and closed with respect to the printer cover in order to open the label guide path and the mount guide path.

Therefore, the label peeling mechanism sequentially peels the printed labels one by one from the mount and issues them from the label issuing port, and continuously prints a plurality of labels without peeling from the mount. A non-peeling mode to be issued and issued can be selected. The label peeling mechanism is openable and closable with respect to the printer cover. When changing the transport path of the mount in the label peeling mechanism , the second lock lever is locked and the second opening / closing lever locks the second release lever. The lock means is released, and only the label peeling mechanism is opened while the printer cover is closed. Then, when setting to the peeling mode, the mount is made to pass through the paper guiding path, and when setting to the non-peeling mode, the label board is made to go through the label guiding path. In other words, since only the label peeling mechanism has to be opened without opening the printer cover, it is possible to easily change the transport path with a small open space.

  Preferably, a label guide roller for holding the peeled label is rotatably arranged on the label issuing port side of the label peeling mechanism. Therefore, the operator can easily take the label held by the label guide roller.
  Preferably, the printing mechanism includes a thermal head mounted on the printer body and facing the label mount, and a platen roller mounted on the printer cover and pressing the label mount against the thermal head. .

In this case, the platen roller of the printing mechanism for pressing the label mount the thermal head, because it is equipped with a printer cover can be opened to mount the transport path between the thermal head and the platen roller by opening the printer cover.

When the platen roller 12 is in a fixed position, the thermal head 13 and the platen roller 12 face each other with the conveyance path (mounting conveyance path) 11 of the label mount 100 interposed therebetween, and the platen roller 12 places the label mount 100 on the thermal head 13. It plays the role of conveying to the downstream side while pressing.
The platen roller 12 and the mount bending guide 14 are provided in the printer cover 3, and the conveyance path 11 is opened by opening the printer cover 3.

The label printer 1 according to the present embodiment can select either the peeling mode or the non-peeling mode as the label issuing mode.
In the peeling mode, as shown in FIG. 11A, the printed label 102 is peeled from the mount 101, and the label 102 and the mount 101 are discharged through the label guide path 21 and the mount guide path 22 respectively. In this mode, the gas is discharged from the outlet 7.
Further, in the non-peeling mode, as shown in FIG. 11B, the printed label 102 is not peeled from the mount 101, and the mount 101 as it is is discharged from the label issuing port 8 through the label guide path 21. Mode. The mechanical setting of these modes can be performed by opening the guide paths 21 and 22 and changing the setting path of the mount 101.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a printer cover opening / closing lever (first opening / closing lever) 60, which is an opening operation member for opening the printer cover 3, is provided on the side of the printer cover 3. The printer cover opening / closing lever 60 is connected to a lock arm (first locking means) 63 shown in FIG. 4, and when the operator puts a finger on the upper end and pulls the printer cover opening / closing lever 60 forward, the lock arm 63 is connected. Is rotated to release the lock with a locking portion (not shown) inside the printer main body 2 so that the printer cover 3 can be opened. Further, when the printer cover 3 is closed, the lock arm 63 automatically locks with the engaging portion inside the printer main body 2.

As shown in FIG. 8, a recess 61 for placing a finger on the upper end of the printer cover opening / closing lever 60 is provided behind the upper end of the printer cover opening / closing lever 60. A shutter (operation restricting means) 70 for preventing inadvertently placing a finger in advance is disposed.
The shutter 70 can be rotated between a position where the recess 61 is closed (the position shown in FIG. 1) and a position where the recess 61 is opened (the position shown in FIG. 2). The peeler unit opening / closing lever of the peeler unit 50 shown in FIG. (Second Opening / Closing Lever) The second opening / closing lever is assembled in conjunction with the operation of 52.

As shown in FIG. 7, the peeler unit opening / closing lever 52 is attached to the housing 51 of the peeler unit 50 so as to be rotatable around a lever rotation shaft 53. As shown in FIG. At the side, the printer cover opening / closing lever 60 is arranged.
The peeler unit 50 can be opened by placing a finger on the upper end 52a of the peeler unit opening / closing lever 52 and tilting the lever 52 forward.
The peeler unit 50 is provided with a lock portion ( second lock means) 80 shown in FIG. 2 and locks the printer cover 3 in the closed position. The lock portion 80 is connected to the peeler unit opening / closing lever 52 and is a mechanism that interlocks with the rotation of the peeler unit opening / closing lever 52 relative to the peeler unit 50. When the operator closes the peeler unit opening / closing lever 52, the lock portion 80 moves and locks in a direction projecting to a locking portion (not shown) inside the peeler unit 50 in conjunction with the rotation direction. Further, when the peeler unit opening / closing lever 52 is opened, the lock portion 80 moves in a direction to be retracted inside the peeler unit in conjunction with the rotation direction thereof, so that the lock with the printer cover 3 is released.
In addition to the lock arm 63 that locks the printer cover 3 to the closed position with respect to the printer body 2, a lock portion 80 that locks the peeler unit 50 to the closed position with respect to the printer cover 3 is provided. Since it can be reliably locked in the closed position, even when an excessive pulling force is applied to the peeler unit 50 when the mount 101 discharged from the label issuing port 8 or the mount discharge port 7 is cut, the peeler unit 50 is not inadvertently opened.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, the shutter 70 disposed in the recess 61 behind the printer cover opening / closing lever 60 has a substantially semi-cylindrical shape, a straight wall 71 having a peripheral wall portion along the diameter direction, and a printer cover. An arc wall 72 that continuously covers the entrance of the recess 61 from the upper end of the opening / closing lever 60 can be rotated in the recess 61 by a shaft 74 disposed at the center of the semicircular end wall 73. Yes. The shutter 70 can be rotated in the same rotation plane as the printer cover opening / closing lever 60. As shown in FIG. 10, the shutter 70 is positioned to open the recess 61 by a spring member (not shown). Rotation is energized.

  A pin 75 projects from the outer surface of the end wall 73 of the shutter 70. As shown in FIG. 3, the pin 75 is exposed in the housing space (opening portion of the printer cover 3) of the housing 51 of the peeler unit 50 through a notch or the like of the wall surface of the printer cover 3. It engages with a cam surface 59 formed on the housing 51 (see FIG. 7).

When the peeler unit 50 is closed from the open state with respect to the printer cover 3 and stored in the storage space, the cam 59 lifts the pin 75 as shown in FIG. Rotate in the turning direction and close the entrance of the recess 61 with the arc wall 72.
Further, when the peeler unit 50 is opened, as shown in FIG. 9, the engagement by the cam 59 is lost and the pin 75 becomes free, so that the shutter 70 is rotated counterclockwise as shown in FIG. When the straight wall 71 comes to the front, the entrance of the recess 61 is opened.

  Further, in the label printer 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the position can be operated only when the peeler unit 50 is opened, that is, the peeler unit 50 is exposed to the outside when the peeler unit 50 is opened. A mode changeover switch 202 is provided on the inner surface of the printer main body 2 that is hidden when the button is closed. The mode changeover switch 202 recognizes a control unit (not shown) in the printer body 2 when the label issuing mode is changed by changing the setting path of the mount 101, and changes the paper feed control and print control. This is a manual switch for informing the host computer of the switching (which label issuance mode), and a signal corresponding to the contents of switching the label issuance mode can be transmitted to the host computer by this operation position. .

  The operation position of the mode switch 202 can be confirmed by a mode display unit (display unit) 205 provided on the front surface of the printer main body 2 or the like. The position where the mode display unit 205 is provided may be a position that can be seen from the outside even when the peeler unit 50 is closed. The display method may be a mechanical display or an electrical display such as an LED. Good. Reference numeral 200 denotes a label feed switch.

Next, the operation of the label printer 1 of this embodiment will be described.
In the label printer 1 of the present embodiment, when the label issuing mode is the peeling mode, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 11A, a label mount 100 in which a plurality of labels 102 are pasted on the mount 101. Is printed intermittently on the label 102 by the thermal head 13.

Next, the label 102 is peeled from the mount 101 conveyed in the bent state by pressing the mount 101 of the label mount 100 against the mount bending guide 14 of the peeler unit 50 and bending it to the back side at an acute angle.
The printed label 102 after peeling from the mount 101 is sent to the label issuing port 8 through the label guide path 21, and the mount 101 is discharged from the mount discharge port 7 through the mount guide path 22.

  Further, when the issue mode is set to the non-peeling mode, as shown in FIG. 11B, continuous printing is performed on the label 102 by the thermal head 13 while the label mount 100 is continuously fed. Next, the printed label mount 100 is discharged from the label issuing port 8 through the label guiding path 21 as it is.

When switching the label issue mode, the lock unit 80 is released by the peeler opening / closing lever 52 with the lock arm 63 locked, and only the peeler unit 50 is opened while the printer cover 3 is closed. By doing so, the label guide path 21 and the mount guide path 22 can be opened, and the setting path of the label mount 100 can be easily switched. That is, when setting to the peeling mode, setting is performed so that the mount 101 of the label mount 100 passes through the mount guide path 22, and when setting to the non-peeling mode, setting is performed so that the label mount 100 passes through the label guide path 21. To do.

As described above, when the label issuing mode is switched, it is only necessary to open the peeler unit 50 without opening the printer cover 3, and it is not necessary to open the printer cover 3 that is widely opened. It becomes easy to do work. Further, since the printer cover 3 does not need to be opened, the label mount 100 is held between the thermal head 13 and the platen roller 12, and the position of the label 102 is not displaced, and even after the issue mode is switched. You can continue to print. The printer cover 3 can be opened only when the inside of the printer main body 2 needs to be opened largely, for example, when the label mount is exchanged.

Further, in this label printer 1, since the shutter 70 is provided, the opening / closing lever 60 of the printer cover 3 cannot be operated unless the peeler unit 50 is opened. It is possible to automatically keep the order of operations of opening.
That is, the printer cover 50 is not opened until the peeler unit 50 is opened before the printer cover 3, the label guide path 21 and the mount guide path 22 are opened, and the front end side of the label mount 100 is released. 3 is allowed to open. For this reason, the printer cover 3 is inadvertently opened, so that the label mount 100 whose front end is sandwiched between the peeler units 50 is not pulled out unnecessarily, and the label mount 100 is not limited to the thermal head 13 and the platen roller 12. In other words, the label 102 is not displaced, the paper feed for alignment is not required, and the waste of the label 102 can be eliminated.

Specifically, when the shutter 70 closes the recess 61, the operator cannot put the finger on the printer cover opening / closing lever 60 and operate only when the shutter 70 is open as shown in FIG. The printer cover opening / closing lever 60 can be operated.
Therefore, reliable operation regulation can be performed with a simple structure. Further, since the shutter 70 for indicating whether the operation is permitted or not is provided on the opening / closing lever 60 to which the operator directly applies a force with a finger, there is no possibility of erroneous operation and the printer cover 3 is useless. There is no risk of force being applied.

Further, in the label printer 1 of the present embodiment, the peeler unit 50 is mounted on the printer cover 3, so opening the printer cover 3 opens the roll paper loading unit 4 of the printer main body 2 and at the same time peeler unit 50. Can be exposed from the printer body 2.
Therefore, workability when the label mount 100 is set in the label printer 1 or when the mount 101 or the label 102 jammed in the label guide path 21 or the mount guide path 22 of the peeler unit 50 is improved.

  Further, since the platen roller 12 of the printing mechanism 40 is mounted on the printer cover 3 side, when the printer cover 3 is opened, the conveyance path 11 of the label mount 100 between the thermal head 13 and the platen roller 12 can be opened. In addition, the leading edge of the label mount 100 can be easily passed through the printing mechanism, and workability when removing the label mount 100 jammed in the transport path 11 is improved.

  Moreover, in the label printer 1 of the said embodiment, the peeler unit 50 can also be hold | maintained in a closed position because the peeler roller 19 of the peeler unit 50 engages with the outer peripheral surface of the platen roller 12.

Note that the configuration of the printing mechanism, label peeling mechanism, printer main body, printer cover, and the like in the label printer of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, but can take various forms based on the spirit of the present invention. Of course.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the printing mechanism 40 including the thermal head 13 has been described. However, it is possible to use a printing mechanism including another type of printing head such as a printing mechanism including an inkjet head. Nor.
