  The present invention relates to a marking device and a marking method.

  So-called RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is used in various fields. Among typical usage forms of RFID, there are those using a card-like or sheet-like medium. In these media, an RFID inlay having an IC chip and an antenna is built in or attached.

  In recent years, RFID tags in which the RFID inlay is incorporated or attached have been developed. The RFID tag can print information on the surface thereof by an electronic printer or the like, and can read and write a large amount of information in a non-contact state on the RFID inlay by a reader / writer or the like. The RFID tag is suspended from a product through a string or the like in a tag hole formed above the RFID tag and used as a tag.

  However, since the RFID inlay may become unusable due to damage to the RFID inlay during the manufacturing process or before use, the RFID tag can be made non-defective and defective by inspection means such as a reader / writer before shipping as a product. It is necessary to inspect and sort.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, in order to prevent shipment of an RFID tag that has become unusable (defective) due to damage to the RFID inlay, a through hole is provided in an RFID tag having an RFID inlay that has been inspected before shipment and determined to be defective. An apparatus for forming the is disclosed.

  However, in the case of Patent Document 1, since a piece is generated, equipment such as an air hose for sucking out the piece is required, and the apparatus becomes large.

  Further, for example, Patent Document 2 below discloses a technique for applying a mark to an IC inlet determined to be defective from a plurality of IC inlets that are sequentially pulled out from an IC inlet roll and conveyed, for example, using an inkjet printer. Yes.

  In this case, the mark given to the defective IC inlet is drawn with oil-based ink or the like, and the IC inlet can be discriminated when it is visible.

  Therefore, for example, when stacked with other IC inlets, it is difficult to distinguish the IC inlet from a plurality of IC inlets.

  In the continuous paper supply device 1, as shown in FIG. 1B, the continuous paper P is folded in a “Z” shape with a perforation or the like as a fold, and one end thereof is inserted into the encoding device 2. The continuous paper P is conveyed to the printing device 3, the inspection device 4, and the marking device 5 by combining conveying means such as a sprocket, a conveying belt, and a conveying roller (not shown). In this case, a timing mark (not shown) is printed in advance on the back surface of the continuous paper P at a predetermined interval, and the transport position of the continuous paper P is detected by a pitch sensor (not shown) on the apparatus side. Yes. In the encoding device 2, information is read from and written to each tag to be formed on the conveyed continuous paper P. 2A is a plan view of a part of the continuous paper P, and a plurality of (six in the figure) tags T (dotted lines in the figure) arranged in the width direction (y direction in the figure) of the continuous paper P. FIG. A frame) is formed continuously in the transport direction (x direction in the figure). A dotted line indicating the outer frame of the tag T is a tag cut line L, and a string hole tag hole TH is formed at one end of each tag T, for example. Sprocket holes SH are formed continuously in the vicinity of each side in the conveyance direction of the continuous paper P, and the continuous paper P is conveyed by driving a sprocket (conveying means) (not shown) meshed with the sprocket hole SH. ing. Also, the continuous paper P has a so-called RFID inlay 15 built in or laminated in the formation region of each tag T, and this RFID inlay 15 is configured to have an IC chip 15A and an antenna 15B. In addition, the continuous paper P supplied to the continuous paper supply apparatus 1 is not limited to the one folded in the “Z” shape as described above, but may be a roll shape even if it is folded in another manner. It may be rolled up.

  Returning to FIG. 1A, in the printing apparatus 3, printing is performed on the surface of the conveyed continuous paper P by, for example, a laser. On the surface of each tag T of the continuous paper P, as shown in FIG. 2B, for example, a bar code 11, a number 12, a character 13, and other information are printed. In the inspection device 4, the operation of each RFID inlay 15 is inspected based on the output of the encoding device 2. In the marking device 5, a mark by cutting is attached to a tag (defective tag) T determined to be defective according to the inspection result of the inspection device 4. The detailed configuration of the marking device 5 will be described later. In the continuous paper discharge device 6, the continuous paper from the marking device 5 is folded in a “Z” shape as shown in FIG. Here, the continuous paper P folded in a “Z” shape is normally up to the cut stack portion (device) 7 arranged at a position separated from the tag forming device 10 as shown in FIG. It is supposed to be carried. Then, by inserting one end of the continuous paper P into the cut stack unit (device) 7, the continuous paper P is cut along the tag cut line L for each tag T, and the plurality of cut tags T are boxed 7A. The front and back surfaces are stacked in contact with each other.

  Next, the marking device 5 and its marking method will be described in detail. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the marking device 5. The marking device 5 shown in FIG. 3 is a view seen from the downstream side in the conveyance direction (x direction in the drawing) of the continuous paper P.

  FIG. 3 shows one marking device 5 out of six arranged in the y direction in the figure. The marking device 5 is provided corresponding to the number of tags T formed in the width direction (y direction in the drawing) of the continuous paper P. That is, as shown in the top view of FIG. 9A, six marking devices 5 are provided in parallel in a direction (y direction in the drawing) orthogonal to the continuous paper transport direction (x direction in the drawing). Yes. Each of the marking devices 5 is arranged by extending an upper blade driving device 51 indicated by a dotted frame and a predetermined length from the lower side of the upper blade driving device 51 in the conveyance direction (x direction in the figure) of the continuous paper P. The lower base 52 is configured to be included.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the marking device 5 includes an upper blade driving device 51 on the upstream side of the lower base 52 on which the continuous paper P is conveyed. The upper blade driving device 51 includes a clutch 51A in the upper stage, a gear 51B in the middle stage, and an upper blade rotating body 51C in the lower stage, and their central axes are parallel to each other and rotatably supported by the support body 51D. ing.

  The upper blade rotating body 51C has a plurality of (for example, six in the figure) upper blades 51E attached to the peripheral side surface. Two sets of upper blades 51E are provided as a set of three adjacent blades in the circumferential direction, and each set of upper blades 51E is provided on each of the opposing surfaces with the central axis 51G of the upper blade rotating body 51C in between. Yes.

  As the continuous paper P is transported, a single tag T is cut by one set of upper blades 51E, and a subsequent tag T is cut by another set of upper blades 51E so that the operation is repeated. It has become.

  On the other hand, the lower base 52 is formed with a slit 52A in the vicinity of one longitudinal side thereof. The slit 52A has a function as a lower blade. When the tag T of the continuous paper P is positioned above the lower base 52 and the upper blade rotating body 51C of the upper blade driving device 51 rotates, the set of upper blades 51E is received (inserted). As a result, three parallel cuts are formed in the tag T in the transport direction. In FIG. 3, in order to clarify the state of receiving the set of upper blades 51 </ b> E of the slit 52 </ b> A, the tag T of the continuous paper P is in a state before being positioned on the lower base 52 (not yet positioned above the lower base 52. State).

  FIG. 4A is an enlarged view showing the relationship between the upper blade 51E of the upper blade rotating body 51C and the slit 52A. FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line bb in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the slit 52A is formed with a width W1 sufficient to receive each upper blade 51E immediately below the upper blade rotating body 51C.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the upper blade 51E has an angle θ (0 ° <θ <90 °) at the tip thereof. That is, the upper blade 51E has a vertical surface V formed on the side in the longitudinal direction adjacent to the lower base 52, and an inclined surface SL having an angle θ with respect to the vertical surface V on the center side of the lower base 52. ing. When the upper blade 51E is formed in this way, a portion where the tag T is cut (hereinafter referred to as a cut portion T0) is bent at the center side of the lower base 52 (see FIG. 6A).

  Returning to FIG. 4A, the slit 52A immediately below the upper blade rotating body 51C is formed so as to extend in the transport direction of the continuous paper P (the x direction in the figure). That is, the slit 52A is formed as an elongated slit whose width becomes narrower toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the tag T. The portion where the width of the slit 52A becomes narrow functions as a restricting portion CTL that bends the cut portion of the tag as the tag is transported. That is, the restricting portion CTL at the extending end of the slit 52A has a width Wn in which the slit 52A following the slit 52A having the width W1 gradually narrows from the width W1 in the transport direction and finally becomes the width W2. The subsequent slit 52A is formed to have a width W2. In this case, the inner side surface O on the side in the longitudinal direction adjacent to the lower base 52 of the slit 52A extends linearly when viewed from above, and the inner side surface I on the center side of the lower base 52 is the inner side on the side in the longitudinal direction of the lower base 52. The side surface O changes so as to have widths W1, Wn, and W2.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, a roller 53 is disposed on the downstream side in the transport direction of the lower base 52 and above the restricting portion CTL of the slit 52A. The roller 53 is transported. The tag T is pressed against the lower base 52. 5A is a top view, FIG. 5B is a side view, and in FIG. 5A, the upper blade driving device 51 is indicated by a dotted frame. As will be apparent from FIGS. 5A and 5B, the slit 52 </ b> A extending from the lower side of the upper blade driving device 51 to the downstream side in the transport direction is formed to reach the lower side of the roller 53. .

  Here, how the cut portion of the tag T formed by the upper blade driving device 51 changes in the slit 52A in the process of being conveyed to the lower base 52 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (e).

  FIGS. 6 (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) are respectively the aa line, bb line, cc line, and dd line of FIG. 5 (a). , The sectional view in the ee line is shown.

  First, in FIG. 6A, the tag T transported on the line aa in FIG. 5A is cut by the upper blade 51E of the upper blade driving device 51 (see FIG. 5). From the shape of the upper blade 51E, the cut portion T0 of the tag T is bent toward the longitudinal side opposite to the center of the lower base 52. In this case, as described above, since the cut is made by one set of the three upper blades 51E out of the two upper blades 51E of the upper blade rotating body 51C of the upper blade driving device 51, the tag T has 3 Individual notches are formed.

  After the cutting into the tag T by the upper blade 51E is completed, the tag T transported on the line bb in FIG. 5A is accompanied by the upward movement of the upper blade 51E as shown in FIG. 6B. In the relatively wide width W1 of the slit 52A, the bending of the cut portion T0 of the tag T is slightly restored.

  However, the tag T reaches the restricting portion CTL by the subsequent conveyance, and the cut portion T0 is bent. That is, as shown in FIG. 6C, the tag T transported on the line cc in FIG. 5A has a narrow width Wn of the slit 52A. By pressing the inner surface I, the cut portion T0 of the tag T is bent again. In this case, the width Wn of the slit 52A becomes narrower along with the conveyance of the tag, and the bending of the cut portion T0 of the tag T is continued.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (d), the tag T conveyed on the line dd in FIG. 5 (a) has its cut portion T0 positioned in the slit 52A having the width W2, and the cut portion T0 The bending is erected substantially perpendicular to the tag T.

  In this state, the tag T transported on the line ee in FIG. 5A is in contact with the lower base 52 by the roller 53 with the cut portion T0 standing almost vertically as shown in FIG. 6E. Thus, the cut portion T0 is surely creased.

  In this way, the cut tag T is formed with three cut portions T0 along one longitudinal side as shown in FIG. 7 which is a perspective view of the cut tag T viewed from the back side. These cut portions T0 are formed while maintaining an upright state with respect to the tag T.

  In FIG. 8, after cutting the tag T determined to be defective and cutting the continuous paper P that has passed through the arrangement position of the roller 53 for each tag T by the cut stack unit (apparatus) 7 (see FIG. 1A). It is a figure which shows the state which stacked. As shown in FIG. 8, the cut stack portion (device) 7 has a box body 7A in which grooves are formed along one direction, and a plurality of tags T are in contact with the front and back surfaces in the box body 7A. It is stored. In this case, since the defective tag T has a cut portion T0 bent on one surface, a gap S is formed between the adjacent tag T by the cut portion T0, and the defective tag T is defective. It becomes possible to discriminate at a glance the tag T.

(Embodiment 2)
In the first embodiment, the lower base 52 of the marking device 5 is configured to be provided for each upper blade driving device 51 so as to be paired with each upper blade driving device 51 as shown in FIG. . However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 9B, it is needless to say that the lower bases 52 may be formed integrally with each other. Each upper blade driving device 51 is driven independently according to the tag T that has been found to be defective, but each lower base 52 can be formed as a common member regardless of the operation of the corresponding upper blade driving device 51. It is.

(Embodiment 3)
In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1A, the cut stack unit (device) 7 is arranged at a position separated from the tag forming device 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 10, the cut stack unit (device) 7 is disposed adjacent to the tag forming device 10 and is conveyed from the marking device 5 of the tag forming device 10. Of course, the continuous paper P may be sent directly to the cut stack unit (device) 7. In this case, the continuous paper discharge device 6 required in FIG. 1A can be dispensed with. The operation of the cut stack unit (device) 7 shown in FIG. 10 is the same as that of the cut stack unit (device) 7 shown in FIG.

(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a plurality of lower platforms arranged corresponding to each upper blade driving device according to another embodiment of the marking device 5.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the upper blade rotating body 51C (not shown) has substantially the same configuration as that shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, but the configurations of the lower base 52, the slit 52A, and the like are different. . That is, there is a lower base 52, and a slit 52A is formed in the lower base 52 from the upstream end face to the downstream end face. The slit 52A is formed with a bent portion BD in the vicinity of the downstream end surface, and the downstream side of the bent portion BD of the slit 52A (extending end portion of the slit 52A) functions as the restricting portion CTL described above. ing. That is, the slit 52A extending substantially linearly from the upstream side of the lower base 52 to the downstream side has an angle γ (0 ° <γ) with respect to the extension line of the slit 52A so far in the vicinity of the downstream end face. There is a bent portion BD bent at <90 °, and a restricting portion CTL is formed from the bent portion BD to the downstream end face of the lower base 52.

  The lower base 52 configured in this manner forms a cut portion T0 in the tag by the upper blade rotating body 51C (not shown) in the slit 52A upstream from the bent portion BD, and in the slit 52A downstream from the bent portion BD, The cut portion T0 of the tag T is bent by the pressure accompanying the conveyance of the tag T on the side wall 60.

  Even when configured in this manner, the same effects as those described in the first embodiment can be obtained.

  A roller (not shown) (corresponding to reference numeral 53 in FIG. 5) arranged on the downstream side in the transport direction of the lower base 52 and above the slit restricting portion CTL presses the tag T against the lower base 52, thereby A crease can be reliably made in the cut portion T0 of T.

(Embodiment 5)
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a configuration of a plurality of lower platforms arranged corresponding to each upper blade driving device according to another embodiment of the marking device 5. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the upper blade rotating body 51C (not shown) has substantially the same configuration as that shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, but the configurations of the lower base 52, the slit 52A, and the like are different. . That is, the slit 52 </ b> A is formed by a gap formed between the lower base 52 and another lower base 52 disposed adjacent to the lower base 52. Thus, the slit 52A is formed in a straight line from the upstream end surface of the lower base 52 to the downstream end surface. Further, the continuous paper P transported on the lower base 52 is positioned so that each tag T straddles the slit 52A and travels in the direction of arrow β in the figure.

  A restricting portion CTL made of a plate material of another member disposed substantially flush with the surface of the lower base 52 is attached to the downstream end face of the lower base 52 (extending end portion of the slit 52A). The restricting portion CTL is formed to have a side wall 60 having an angle γ (0 ° <γ <90 °) with respect to an extension line to the downstream side of the slit 52A in a plan view. Thereby, the regulation part CTL acts so that the side wall 60 crosses as it goes downstream on the extension to the downstream side of the slit 52A.

  The marking device 5 configured as described above forms a cut portion T0 in the tag T by the upper blade rotating body 51C (not shown) in the slit 52A formed by the gap between the adjacent lower bases 52, and in the restricting portion CTL, The notched portion T0 of the tag T is bent so as to stand up by the pressing accompanying the conveyance of the tag T on the side wall 60.

  Even when configured in this manner, the same effects as those described in the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the same effect can be obtained even if a restricting portion CTL made of a plate member is attached to the lower base 52 in which the slit 52A is formed from the upstream side in the tag transport direction to the downstream side in the tag transport direction. .

  In addition, a roller (not shown) (corresponding to reference numeral 53 in FIG. 5) disposed on the downstream side in the transport direction of the lower base 52 and above the restriction member CTL of the plate member of another member presses the tag T against the lower base 52. Thus, it is possible to reliably crease the cut portion T0 of the tag T.

(Embodiment 6)
In the embodiment described above, the continuous paper P in which a plurality of tags T are continuously formed is described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to continuous paper in which a plurality of labels are continuously formed. In short, any continuous paper in which a plurality of paper sheets (tags, labels, etc.) to be cut into single sheets are continuously formed can be applied.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, it cannot be overemphasized that the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications or improvements can be added to the above-described embodiments. Further, it is apparent from the description of the scope of claims that embodiments with such changes or improvements can also be included in the technical scope of the present invention.
