Description

In particular, the present invention relates to a sticking device provided with a cutting mechanism, and enables smooth cutting of a continuous mountless label having an adhesive layer on the back surface of a belt-like substrate, The present invention relates to a sticking apparatus that can cope with a peeling specification for peeling a label piece from a continuous label body in which the label piece is temporarily attached to a belt-like mount.

Conventionally, a pasting device is attached to a printer, and a desired matter is printed on a label (label piece) on the printer side, and then the label piece is pasted and displayed on an article to be pasted by the pasting device. (For example, see Patent Document 1).
According to Patent Document 1, it is provided with a “peeling mechanism” that peels a label from a belt-like mount on which a label is temporarily attached, and the stripping plate as the “peeling mechanism” turns only the belt-like mount and removes the label from the belt-like mount While peeling and exposing the adhesive layer, the peeled label is conveyed to the label sticking device via the delivery device in order to be surely adsorbed by the suction plate of the label sticking device waiting on the downstream side. (Applying device with peeling mechanism).
However, since this sticking device with a peeling mechanism requires a delivery device, there is a problem that the size of the device is increased and the cost is increased because the delivery device is required.
In recent years, as part of environmental protection, there is an increasing tendency to use a so-called “printed medium” called a “no-mounting label” in which there is no backing and the adhesive layer is exposed on the back surface of the base material for the purpose of saving resources. I came.
As a pasting device corresponding to the label without mount, the strip-shaped label without mount is cut into a single-leaf label piece (label), and the sticker with a cutting mechanism for sticking the cut label piece to an article (object to be pasted) An apparatus is known (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
The sticking device with a cutting mechanism disclosed in Patent Document 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 6. The sticking device 20 is provided adjacent to the thermal printer 30.
The label printer 30 mainly includes a supply shaft 31 for mounting the label L without mount, a printing mechanism 32, a cutter mechanism 33, and a label drawing mechanism 34. The label L without mount mounted on the supply shaft 31 is provided. Is transferred to a printing mechanism 32 having a platen 37 and a thermal head 38 through guide rollers 35 and 36, and predetermined printing information is printed thereon. The label L without mount on which the desired printing is performed by the printing mechanism 32 is transferred to a cutter mechanism (cutting mechanism) 33 having a rotary blade 39 and a fixed blade 40, and is cut into single-leaf label pieces LA, and further downstream. Is transferred to the sticking device 20 side by a label pulling mechanism 34 provided with a driving roller 41 and a driven roller 42.
The sticking device 20 has a suction plate 21 that sucks the label piece LA drawn by the label pulling mechanism 34 of the thermal printer 30 and a label pulling that moves the suction plate 21 slightly further downstream than the label pulling mechanism 34. A separation mechanism (not shown) and a label sticking mechanism 22 having a cylinder rod 23 for moving the suction plate 21 in a state where the label pieces LA are sucked in the forward / backward movement direction (arrow Y direction). The label piece LA supplied to the bottom surface of the suction plate 21 is sucked by the suction plate 21 and the cylinder rod 23 of the label sticking device 22 is moved in the advancing direction which is the sticking direction (not shown). A label piece LA is pasted on.
However, the pasting apparatus 20 cuts the non-mounting label L with the cutter mechanism (cutting mechanism) 33 on the thermal printer 30 side to form a single-leaf label piece LA, and then sucks the label piece LA with the suction plate 21. In order to ensure the separation of the label piece LA from the drawing mechanism 34, the label pulling mechanism for slightly moving the suction plate 21 on which the label piece LA has been sucked to the downstream side is required. There is a problem that the configuration becomes complicated, such as providing (not shown), leading to an increase in cost.
In addition, there is a problem in that it is difficult to combine the application device with the cutting mechanism and the application device with the peeling mechanism because of different usage modes.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the above-mentioned problems, and realizes a sticking device with a cutting mechanism that can cut a label without a mount with a simple configuration, and can also cope with a peeling specification. It is an issue to provide.

The sticking device according to the first invention is a printing mechanism that prints on a backingless label with an adhesive layer exposed on the back surface of a substrate and conveys it downstream, and a cutting that cuts the backingless label to form a label piece A sticking mechanism comprising a mechanism and a suction mechanism that waits in proximity to the cutting mechanism and moves by sucking and holding the label pieces, and sticking the label pieces to an object to be attached, The cutting mechanism includes a fixed blade provided downstream of the printing mechanism, and a movable blade formed on one side of the suction plate facing the fixed blade, and moves the suction plate via the sticking mechanism. As a result, the fixed blade and the movable blade mesh with each other to cut the mountless label into a single-leaf label piece, and the label piece is moved via the sticking mechanism while being sucked and held on the suction disk. And pasted Characterized in that affixed to.
Roughly, the movable blade formed on the suction plate is slightly inclined with respect to the fixed blade, the holding position for sucking and holding the print medium, and the label piece sucked and held on the suction plate, A swinging means capable of swinging can be provided at two positions, that is, a pasting position facing the object to be pasted.
A sticking device according to a second aspect of the invention is a sticking device for sticking the label piece of a label continuous body, in which the label piece is temporarily attached to a belt-like mount, to a sticking object, and printing the label piece of the label continuous body And a printing mechanism transported downstream, a fixed blade support portion provided downstream of the printing mechanism and provided with a fixed blade, and detachably provided to the fixed blade, and also used as a peeling plate formed with an acute angle portion A cover body, a sticking mechanism having a suction plate that sucks and holds the label pieces, and a position adjusting means for adjusting the position of the fixed blade support portion in the vertical direction and the front-rear direction. Cover the fixed blade with the cover body so that the acute angle portion of the cover body protrudes downstream, and turn only the belt-like mount of the label continuum at the acute angle portion to remove the label piece from the belt-like mount. Peel off With the leaves of the label piece, the absorbed and retained by the suction plate, affixing the label piece to be attached material through the sticking mechanism.
Further, when the fixed blade of the fixed blade support portion is covered with the cover body, the position adjusting means can be adjusted so that one side on the upstream side of the suction cup is positioned above the front end portion of the cover body.

The sticking device according to the first invention of the present invention is provided with a cutting mechanism comprising a fixed blade provided downstream of the printing mechanism, and a movable blade formed on one side of the suction plate facing the fixed blade, By moving the suction plate via the sticking mechanism, the fixed blade and the movable blade engage with each other to cut the label without the mount to form a single-leaf label piece, and this label piece is stuck and held on the suction plate. Since it moves through the mechanism and sticks to the object to be pasted, and there is no need for a delivery means for transporting the label piece to the position where it is attracted to the suction disk as in the past, the device itself is made compact and the cost is reduced. There is an effect that can be achieved.
In addition, the movable blade formed on the suction plate is slightly inclined with respect to the fixed blade, and the holding position for sucking and holding the print medium and the label piece sucked and held on the suction plate are If a swinging means capable of swinging is provided at two positions, ie, a sticking position opposite to the holder, the holding position for sucking and holding the label without the mount simply by swinging the suction disk, and the object to be stuck Then, since it becomes possible to position by swinging to two positions of the attaching position where the label piece is attached, the suction disk can be moved between the inclined state and the horizontal state with a simple mechanism.
Further, the sticking device according to the second invention covers the fixed blade with the cover body so that the acute angle portion of the cover body serving also as the peeling plate protrudes downstream, and only the mount of the label continuous body at the acute angle portion. The label piece is peeled off from the mount to make a single-leaf label piece, and it is adsorbed and held on the suction disk, and the label piece is attached to the object to be attached via the attaching mechanism. The apparatus has an effect that it can be used for a label without a mount and a label continuous body in which a label piece is temporarily attached to a belt-like mount.

It is a schematic side view equivalent to FIG. 1 which shows other embodiment of the sticking apparatus which concerns on this invention. It is the schematic plan view seen from the arrow V direction in FIG. It is a schematic side view which shows an example of the conventional sticking apparatus.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the following description, the same parts as those in the prior art are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
1 is a schematic side view of a sticking device with a cutting mechanism, FIG. 2 is an enlarged explanatory view showing the main part of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a schematic front view seen from the direction of arrow III in FIG. It is.

  The sticking device 1 according to the present embodiment is mainly provided in the printing mechanism 32 including the platen 37 and the thermal head 38, the sticking mechanism 2, the downstream of the printing mechanism 32, and in the vicinity of the sticking mechanism 2. A fixed blade support portion 4 on which the fixed blade 3 is formed, a swinging means 6, a “cutting mechanism” to be described below that mainly cuts a label L without mount as a “print medium”, and a control unit 9. I have.

The sticking mechanism 2 includes a suction plate 5, a cylinder rod 23 for moving the suction plate 5 in the forward / backward movement direction (arrow Y direction) and a workpiece H such as a conveyor (not shown) that is transported. And swinging means 6 for swingably supporting the cylinder rod 23.
The suction disk 5 stands by on the downstream side of the printing mechanism 32, and sucks and holds the non-mounting label L conveyed downstream from the printing mechanism 32 on the suction surface 5a. A movable blade 7 is formed on one side of the suction disk 5. That is, a “blade” is formed on one side of the edge portion of the lower end portion (the right end portion and the lower end portion of the suction plate 5 in FIGS. 1 and 2) on the upstream side (printing mechanism 32 side) of the suction plate 5. The suction disk 5 plays a role as a “movable blade” by moving in the advancing direction (arrow F direction) via the cylinder rod 23.
The suction disk 5 is connected to a vacuum device (not shown), and is controlled so that at least two suction forces of weak suction or strong suction act by this vacuum device (not shown). At the time of suction, the label L without mount is conveyed downstream along the suction surface 5a while being sucked by the suction plate 5, and at the time of strong suction, the label L without mount (or label piece LA). Is firmly adsorbed and held on the adsorption surface 5a.

  A fixed blade 3 is formed on one side of the fixed blade support portion 4. That is, the fixed blade 3 is formed in the width direction (W direction in FIG. 3) in the downstream front-end | tip part (left side edge part in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) of the upper surface part 4a of the fixed blade support part 4. As shown in FIG. The upper surface portion 4a of the fixed blade support portion 4 serves as a “guide surface” for transporting the non-mounting label L to the suction disk 5 side.

Further, the swinging means 6 is configured to swingably support the cylinder rod 23 that moves the suction disk 5 in the forward / backward movement direction (arrow Y direction), and the suction disk 5 is located downstream of the printing mechanism 32. 3, the suction cup 5 is supported so that it is inclined slightly upward with respect to the horizontal state, as shown in FIG. As the rod 23 moves and advances, the rod 23 swings so as to support the suction surface 5a of the suction disk 5 attached to the tip of the cylinder rod 23 and the cylinder rod 23 at a position facing the object H. ing.
When the suction disk 5 attached to the tip of the cylinder rod 23 by the swinging means 6 stands by on the downstream side of the printing mechanism 32, as described above, the backing sheet conveyed from the printing mechanism 32 side. At the position (holding position T) for sucking and holding the none label L, it is supported in a slightly inclined state with respect to the horizontal state, and when the suction surface 5a of the suction disk 5 moves to a position facing the object H Is gradually swung horizontally and is swung and supported at a position where the label piece LA is affixed to the adherend H (applied position U: illustrated by an imaginary line in FIG. 3).

Further, the fixed blade 3 of the fixed blade support portion 4 and the movable blade 7 formed on the suction plate 5 are engaged with each other, so that the label L without the mount is cut into a single-leaf label piece LA. That is, the non-mounting sheet label L conveyed from the printing mechanism 32 side along the upper surface portion 4 a of the fixed blade support portion 4 is conveyed between the suction plate 5 waiting at the holding position T and the fixed blade 3. At this time, when the vacuum device (not shown) is weakly sucked, a weak suction force is applied to the suction disk 5 so that the non-mounting label L is sucked by the suction surface 5a and conveyed downstream. ing.
When the desired length is reached, the vacuum device (not shown) is switched to perform a strong suction operation so that a strong suction force is applied to the suction disk 5 to suck and hold the non-mounting label L on the suction surface 5a. The suction plate 5 advances the cylinder rod 23 attached to the tip, and the suction plate 5 attached to the tip advances as the cylinder rod 23 advances, and the movable blade 7 formed on one side is slanted. The fixed blade 3, the movable blade 7 of the suction plate 5, and the cylinder rod 23 that moves the suction plate 5 on which the movable blade 7 is formed are used to attach the label L without mount. A cutting mechanism 8 is formed by cutting into a single-leaf label piece LA.
The control unit 9 is connected to the pasting mechanism 2, the swinging means 6, a vacuum device (not shown) and the like, and moved to the holding position T and the pasting position U by the swinging means 6 and the cylinder rod 23. In addition, control such as two-stage switching of a vacuum device (not shown) is performed.

An operation state in which the label piece LA is stuck to the adherend H by the sticking device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above will be described.
The suction disk 5 stands by at the holding position T by the swinging means 6 so that the movable blade 7 is positioned close to the fixed blade 3 (see FIG. 3).
The vacuum device (not shown) is weakened in synchronization with the non-mounting label L being conveyed while being subjected to desired printing by the printing mechanism 32 and being guided (guided) to the upper surface portion 4a of the fixed blade support portion 4. The suction operation is performed, and the non-mounting label L is sucked to the suction surface 5a and conveyed to the downstream side (the non-mounting label L is conveyed by the rotation of the platen 37 of the printing mechanism 32). At this time, since the weak suction force of the vacuum device (not shown) is acting on the suction disk 5, the label L without the mount does not fall down from the tip of the fixed blade 3 on the suction surface 5a. An adsorption force that does not hinder the conveyance of the label L in the downstream direction works.
When the label L without the mount reaches a desired length, a vacuum device (not shown) performs a strong suction operation to suck and hold the label L without the mount on the suction surface 5a and advance the cylinder rod 23 (in the direction of arrow F). To do.
As the suction rod 5 attached to the tip of the cylinder rod 23 advances as the cylinder rod 23 advances, the movable blade 7 formed on one side of the suction plate 5 advances and engages with the fixed blade 3 to mount the mount. The none label L is cut into a single-leaf label piece LA (cutting position). At this time, the label piece LA is in a state of being held on the suction surface 5a by a strong suction operation of a vacuum device (not shown).
When the cutting of the non-mounting label L by the cutting mechanism 8 is completed, the swinging means 6 is activated, and the suction rod 5 attached to the tip of the cylinder rod 23 is made horizontal by swinging the cylinder rod 23. The conveying means (not shown) is positioned at the application position U in synchronization with the object H to be conveyed, and the label piece LA is affixed to the object H conveyed by the conveying means not shown.
When sticking the label piece LA to the article H, the suction operation of the vacuum device (not shown) is stopped, and the label piece LA sucked and held on the suction surface 5a is released (released from suction and holding). To do.
When the sticking of the label piece LA to the sticking object H is completed, the cylinder rod 23 is retracted and moved, and the swinging means 6 is actuated to return the suction plate 5 to the holding position T. Wait for transportation.

  As described above, by engaging the fixed blade 3 provided downstream of the printing mechanism 32 and the movable blade 7 formed on one side of the suction plate 5, the label L without the mount and the single-leaf label piece LA are cut. In addition, since the cut label piece LA is sucked and held by the suction board 5 as it is, a delivery means for transporting the label piece LA to the position where it is sucked by the “suction board” as in the past becomes unnecessary. The “device” is made compact.

  Further, by simply swinging the suction rod 5 attached to the cylinder rod 23 and the tip of the cylinder rod 23 by the swinging means 6, a holding position T for sucking and holding the non-mounting label L, and an object to be pasted The suction plate 5 can be moved to the inclined state and the horizontal state with a simple mechanism because it can be positioned by swinging to two positions of the sticking position U where the label piece LA is pasted against H.

  When the suction plate 5 positioned at the holding position T in a state slightly inclined upward with respect to the horizontal direction, and the movable blade 7 formed on one side of the suction plate 5 is engaged with the fixed blade 3, the cylinder Although the example in which the rod 23 is advanced has been described, it is needless to say that the rod 23 is advanced. As the cylinder rod 23 advances, the swinging means 6 may be gradually swung horizontally. If the swinging means 6 is gradually swung in the horizontal direction in synchronism with the advance, the force for pinching the label L without the mount increases.

  Further, the upper surface portion 4a of the fixed blade support portion 4 serving as a “guide surface” is, for example, plasma-processed so that an adhesive layer (not shown) exposed on the back surface of the base material of the non-mounting label L is not easily caught. You may make it give the process of.

Next, a sticking apparatus according to the second embodiment will be described mainly based on FIGS. 4 and 5.
In the following description, the same parts as those in the conventional and previous embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
In the present embodiment, an example of “peeling mode” using a label continuous body M in which a label piece MA is temporarily attached to a belt-like mount D as a “print medium” will be described.
When the label continuous body M is mounted on the supply shaft 31, the “peeling mode” is set by using an input unit (not shown) such as a numeric keypad or a dip switch. When the “peeling mode” is set, the label strip MA is peeled off from the strip-like mount D of the label continuum M (details will be described later).
The sticking device 11 mainly includes a supply shaft 31 on which the label continuum M is mounted, a printing mechanism 32 having a platen 37 and a thermal head 38, a sticking mechanism 2, a downstream of the printing mechanism 32, and a sticking mechanism. 2 is provided with a fixed blade support portion 4 formed with a fixed blade 3 provided in the vicinity of 2, a swinging means 6, and a mount winding mechanism 12, and includes a printing mechanism 32, a pasting mechanism 2, and a fixed blade support portion 4. The basic configuration of the swinging means 6 is almost the same as that of the previous embodiment.

The fixed blade support portion 4 is provided with a position adjusting portion 13 as a “position adjusting means”, a guide roller 14, and a cover body 15.
The position adjustment unit 13 includes a vertical position adjustment member 13a and a horizontal position adjustment member 13b, and is positioned by finely adjusting the entire fixed blade support unit 4 in the upstream / downstream direction and the vertical direction (the horizontal direction and vertical direction in FIG. 4). It is possible.
The guide roller 14 is rotatably provided in front of the lower end of the fixed support portion 4 (left side of the lower end in FIG. 4), and is a roller for guiding a belt-like mount D described later.
The cover body 15 has an acute angle portion 16 having an acute angle shape on one side, and is detachably attached to the fixed blade 3. The cover 15 is mounted so as to cover the fixed blade 3 so that the “blade” function of the fixed blade 3 for cutting the “print medium” is not exhibited. Further, when the cover body 15 is attached to the fixed blade 3, the acute angle portion 16 is covered so as to protrude downstream, and the cover body 15 serves as a “peeling plate”.

  The mount winding mechanism 12 is a take-up shaft 12 that winds the strip-shaped mount D of the label continuous body M, and only the strip-shaped mount D of the label continuous body M is turned by the cover body 15 serving as the “peeling plate”. The direction is changed so as to be wound through the guide roller 14.

Next, an operation state in which the label piece MA is pasted on the adherend H by the pasting device 11 will be described.
The fixed blade support portion 4 is moved using the position adjustment portion 13 to finely adjust the position with the suction plate 5. This position adjustment is to adjust the cutting position of the non-mounting label L in the previous embodiment to the holding position T of the suction plate 5 in the “peeling mode”, and above the acute angle portion 16 of the cover body 15. The cover body 15 is opposed to the suction disk 5 positioned at the holding position T in such a manner that one side of the suction disk 5 on the side of the movable blade 5 overlaps and slightly tilts upward in the horizontal direction. Positioned so that it is almost horizontal.
A continuous label M is mounted on the supply shaft 31 and pulled out to the printing mechanism 32 side. Only the belt-like mount D is turned by the cover 15 and wound around the mount take-up mechanism 12 through the guide roller 14.
Then, when a sticking operation is started by inserting a switch or the like (not shown), the label piece MA is peeled from the belt-like mount D of the label continuous body M by the cover body 15 serving as a peeling plate, and the rear end portion of the label piece MA is It peels in the state which remained in the cover body 15 side (refer mainly FIG. 5). Then, the label piece MA is sucked and held by the suction plate 5 positioned at the holding position T, and the cylinder rod 23 is advanced and moved to attach the label piece MA sucked and held by the suction plate 5 to the sticking position U. The label piece MA is affixed to the adherend H that has been transported by a transport means (not shown).
Note that when the suction disk 5 moves from the holding position T where the label piece MA is sucked and held to the sticking position U, the swinging means 6 is operated, and the cylinder rod 23 is swung so that the tip of the cylinder rod 23 is moved. The attached suction disk 5 is swung in a horizontal state so that the conveying means (not shown) faces the object to be adhered H being conveyed substantially in parallel.
When pasting is completed, the suction disk 5 is returned to the holding position T while the cylinder rod 23 is moved back and forth.

  As described above, the fixed blade 3 is covered with the cover body 15 that also serves as a peeling plate, although it is the sticking device 1 with the cutting mechanism 8 that mainly cuts the label L without mount and sticks it to the article H. Since the fixed blade 3 can be prevented from exhibiting the “cutting function” simply by setting the “peeling mode”, it can be used as the sticking device 11 with the “peeling mechanism”. Even when both types of the label continuum M in which the label strip MA is temporarily attached to the non-mounting label L and the strip-shaped backing D in which the layer is exposed are used as the “printed medium”, it is necessary to change the sticking device. It will disappear.

Further, by adjusting the position adjusting unit 13, the cutting position in the “cutting mechanism” of the previous embodiment is set to the holding position T in the “peeling mode”, so that the change of the software of the pasting mechanism 2 is minimized. It can be stopped.
In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted with respect to the adsorption | suction surface 5a of the adsorption | suction board 5 positioned in the holding position T in the state inclined slightly diagonally upward with respect to the horizontal direction, the cover body 15 covering the fixed blade 3 is substantially parallel. Therefore, the upper surface of the cover body 15 may be formed in accordance with the inclination angle of the suction disk 5.

  It should be noted that the configuration and operation of the above-described embodiment are examples, and it goes without saying that they can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, in the sticking device 1 with the cutting mechanism 8, when the label L without the mount is cut, the vacuum device (not shown) is strongly suctioned to firmly suck and hold the label piece LA on the suction surface 5 a of the suction disk 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a “pressing member” can be used instead of switching the vacuum device. That is, a pressing member (not shown) is placed above the upper surface portion 4a of the fixed blade support 4 between the printing mechanism 32 and the fixed blade 3, and the suction plate 5 held at the holding position T is moved in the advance direction. In synchronization with the advance of the cylinder rod 23 to be moved, the pressing member is advanced so as to press the label continuous body M, so that the label L without the mount is prevented from being pulled toward the suction disk 5 at the time of cutting. May be.

Further, in the second embodiment, the suction plate 5 is inclined slightly upward with respect to the horizontal direction with respect to the cover body 15 that functions as a “peeling plate” that has been positioned in a substantially horizontal state. Although the example of facing is described, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to this. When the suction disk 5 is put on standby at the holding position T for sucking and holding the peeled label piece MA, it is in a horizontal state via the swinging means 6. It does not matter if
