Description

  The present disclosure relates to a cutting apparatus and a tape printing apparatus.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a label printer that prints characters, graphics, or the like on a recording medium that is a continuous medium and cuts the recorded recording medium to create a tape piece is known. In a label printer, a tape member including a base material having an adhesive layer and a separator such as release paper may be used as a recording medium. When such a tape member is used as a recording medium, the user can attach the tape piece using the exposed adhesive layer by simply peeling the separator from the tape piece.

  However, the operation of peeling the separator from the tape piece is not always easy. For this reason, for example, a tape printer that performs a half cut near the tip of a tape piece has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

JP 2012-179882 A

  By performing half-cutting, only the base material is cut without cutting the separator, and therefore the work of peeling the separator from the tape piece becomes easy. However, in order to perform the half cut, a dedicated cutting device called a half cutter is required. For this reason, a new technique applicable to a tape printer not equipped with a half cutter is required.

  In light of the above situation, an object according to one aspect of the present invention is to provide a technique that allows a separator to be easily peeled off from a tape piece.

  The tape printer 1 is a label printer that performs printing on the thermal tape 42 of the recording medium 40. In the following, a thermal label printer using the thermal tape 42 will be described as an example, but the printing method is not particularly limited. The tape printer 1 may be a thermal transfer type label printer using an ink ribbon. Moreover, the tape printer 1 which is a label printer is not limited to a thermal printer. For example, an ink jet printer or a laser printer may be used. The tape printer 1 may perform printing by a single pass (one pass) method or may perform printing by a multipass (scan) method.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the tape printer 1 includes an apparatus housing 2, an input unit 3, an openable / closable lid 4, a window 5, and a display unit 6. Although not shown, the apparatus housing 2 is provided with a power cord connection terminal, an external device connection terminal, a storage medium insertion port, and the like.

  The input unit 3 is provided on the upper surface of the apparatus housing 2. The input unit 3 includes various keys such as an input key, a cross key, a conversion key, and a determination key. The lid 4 is disposed on the apparatus housing 2. The user can open the lid 4 as shown in FIG. 2 by depressing the button 4a to release the lock mechanism. In the lid 4, a window 5 is formed so that it is possible to visually confirm whether or not the recording medium 40 is accommodated in the tape printer 1 even when the lid 4 is closed. The lid 4 has a display unit 6.

  The display unit 6 is, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (electro-luminescence) display, or the like. The display unit 6 displays a character corresponding to an input from the input unit 3, a selection menu for various settings, messages related to various processes, and the like. The display unit 4 may be a display with a touch panel, and may function as a part of the input unit 3.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the apparatus housing 2 includes a medium adapter housing portion 2 a, a platen roller 7, and a thermal head 8 below the lid 4. In the medium adapter accommodating portion 2a, the medium adapter 20 that accommodates the recording medium 40 is accommodated. A full cutter 30 is provided in the vicinity of the outlet from which the thermal tape 42 is discharged. The medium adapter 20, the full cutter 30, and the recording medium 40 will be described later.

  The platen roller 7 is a transport unit that transports the thermal tape 42. The platen roller 7 is rotated by the rotation of the conveying motor 16 (see FIG. 6). The conveyance motor 16 is, for example, a stepping motor or a direct current (DC) motor. The platen roller 7 conveys the thermal tape 42 in the conveyance direction by rotating while sandwiching the thermal tape 42 fed out from the medium adapter 20 between the thermal head 8.

  The thermal head 8 is a print head that performs printing on the thermal tape 42. The thermal head 8 has a plurality of heating elements 8a (see FIG. 6) arranged in the main scanning direction orthogonal to the conveying direction of the thermal tape 42, and heats the thermal tape 42 with the heating elements 8a line by line. Print.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the medium adapter 20. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the recording medium 40. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the thermal tape 42. Hereinafter, the configurations of the medium adapter 20 and the recording medium 40 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

  The medium adapter 20 is a medium adapter for accommodating the recording medium 40 and accommodates the recording medium 40 so that a user can exchange the recording medium 40. That is, the medium adapter 20 is designed on the assumption that the user inserts and removes the recording medium 40 from and into the medium adapter 20.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the medium adapter 20 includes an adapter main body 21 and an adapter lid 22 attached to the adapter main body 21 so as to be openable and closable. The recording medium 40 is accommodated in the internal space of the medium adapter 20 partitioned by the adapter main body 21 and the adapter lid 22.

  Further, the medium adapter 20 is designed according to the tape width of the thermal tape 42 included in the recording medium 40. The tape width of the thermal tape 42 to be accommodated by the medium adapter 20 is displayed in the area 21 a of the adapter main body 21. In this example, the media adapter 20 is a media adapter for tape having a tape width of 6 mm.

  In the tape printer 1, the recording medium 40 is accommodated in the tape printer 1 by accommodating the medium adapter 20 accommodating the recording medium 40 in the tape printer 1. The tape printer 1 can accommodate media adapters corresponding to different tape widths. Specifically, the tape printing apparatus 1 is, for example, a 9 mm tape medium adapter, a 12 mm tape medium adapter, and an 18 mm tape medium in addition to the 6 mm tape medium adapter 20 shown in FIG. Media adapters and the like can be accommodated.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the recording medium 40 includes a paper tube 41, a thermal tape 42, a loosening prevention sheet 43, and an attention sheet 44.

  The paper tube 41 is a cylindrical member around which a thermal tape 42 is wound, and has a hollow portion 41a. The thermal tape 42 is a printing tape member that is wound in the longitudinal direction and has a cylindrical shape, and is wound so as to have a hollow portion 42a. The anti-scattering sheet 43 is an adhesive sheet that is attached to one of the annular side surfaces (side surface 42 c) of the thermal tape 42. The attention sheet 44 is an adhesive sheet that is attached to the other of the annular side surfaces (side surface 42 b) of the thermal tape 42.

  The paper tube 41 is provided in the hollow portion 42 a of the thermal tape 42. The paper tube 41 is a cylindrical member, and when the recording medium 40 is accommodated in the medium adapter 20, a protruding portion formed on the bottom surface of the adapter main body 21 is inserted into the hollow portion 41 a of the paper tube 41. The paper tube 41 is useful for smoothly rotating the recording medium 40 inside the medium adapter 20 without damaging the recording medium 40 when the thermal tape 42 is conveyed by the platen roller 7.

  The thermal tape 42 has, for example, a five-layer structure as shown in FIG. That is, the separator L1, the adhesive layer L2, the base material L3, the coloring layer L4, and the protective layer L5 are laminated in this order. The separator L1 is attached to the base material L3 so as to be peelable so as to cover the adhesive layer L2. The material of the separator L1 is, for example, paper, but is not limited to paper, and may be PET (polyethylene terephthalate). The adhesive layer L2 is an adhesive material applied to the base material L3. The material of the base material L3 is, for example, colored PET. The coloring layer L4 is a thermosensitive coloring layer that develops color when heated with heat energy. The material of the protective layer L5 is, for example, transparent PET.

  The configuration of the thermal tape 42 is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. For example, the heat-sensitive tape 42 may not have the protective layer L5 and may have the color developing layer L4 exposed.

  The heat-sensitive tape 42 has a shape corresponding to the paper tube 41 in a state of being wound around the paper tube 41. That is, the thermal tape 42 has a cylindrical shape, and both side surfaces (side surface 42b, side surface 42c) have an annular shape.

  The anti-scattering sheet 43 is an adhesive sheet for maintaining the shape of the thermal tape 42. The heat sensitive tape 42 may expand due to a change in humidity. However, affixing the anti-displacement sheet 43 to the side surface 42c of the thermal tape 42 can suppress a change in the shape of the thermal tape 42 accompanying expansion, that is, the thermal tape 42 from being scattered. Further, the anti-separation sheet 43 can suppress the shape change even when an impact is applied to the thermal tape 42 due to the recording medium 40 dropping or the like.

  The anti-separation sheet 43 has an opening 43a and an adhesive surface 43b. The opening 43 a has the same size as the hollow portion 41 a of the paper tube 41 or is larger than the hollow portion 41 a of the paper tube 41. The anti-scattering sheet 43 is affixed to the side surface 42 c so that the opening 43 a faces the hollow portion 42 a of the thermal tape 42. Further, it is desirable that the anti-sag sheet 43 has a size so as to cover the side surface 42c of the thermal tape 42. That is, it is desirable that the anti-separation sheet 43 is larger than the side surface 42c. Thereby, since the whole heat sensitive tape 42 can be hold | maintained with an adhesive surface, a shape can be maintained more reliably.

  Further, it is desirable that the shape of the anti-scattering sheet 43 is a shape that approximates the shape of the side surface 42c. That is, if the side surface 42c is an annular shape, it is desirable that the anti-scattering sheet 43 also has an annular shape. Thereby, since the area | region which does not contribute to the shape maintenance of the thermal tape 42 can be made small, the magnitude | size of the anti-scattering sheet | seat 43 can be made small. In addition, since the adhesive surface is less exposed, it is possible to suppress adhesion of dust, dust, and the like to the anti-scattering sheet 43.

  The attention sheet 44 is an adhesive sheet that indicates the type of the recording medium 40 (more precisely, the type of the thermal tape 42). There are various types of thermal tape 42 depending on the tape width and the color of the printing surface. Since the attention sheet 44 includes information for specifying the type, the user can easily specify the type of the recording medium 40 by attaching the attention sheet 44 to the side surface 42b of the thermal tape 42. It becomes possible.

  The attention sheet 44 has an opening 44a and an adhesive surface 44b. The opening 44 a is smaller than the hollow portion 42 a of the thermal tape 42 and is smaller than the hollow portion 41 a of the paper tube 41. The attention sheet 44 is attached to the side surface 42 b so that the opening 44 a faces the hollow portion 42 a of the thermal tape 42. Further, the attention sheet 44 is desirably smaller than the side surface 42b of the thermal tape 42 at least before the use of the recording medium 40 is started, for example, when the recording medium 40 is sold. More specifically, the area of the attention sheet 44 is desirably smaller than the area of the side surface 42b of the thermal tape 42. Thereby, since the area | region covered with the attention sheet 44 becomes small among the side surfaces 42b of the thermal tape 42, confirmation of the residual amount of the thermal tape 42 becomes easy.

  The material of the paper tube 41, the anti-scattering sheet 43, and the attention sheet 44 is not limited to paper. However, if these members are made of paper, the used recording medium 40 that has used up the thermal tape 42 can be discarded as combustible waste. For this reason, it is desirable that the material of the paper tube 41, the anti-scattering sheet 43, and the attention sheet 44 is paper.

  FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware structure of the tape printer 1. In addition to the components described above, the tape printer 1 includes a control circuit 10, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 11, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 12, a display driving circuit 13, and a head driving circuit 9 as shown in FIG. , A thermistor 14, a conveyance motor drive circuit 15, a conveyance motor 16, a cutter motor drive circuit 17, and a cutter motor 18.

  The control circuit 10 includes a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The control circuit 10 controls the operation of each unit of the tape printer 1 by developing and executing a program stored in the ROM 11 on the RAM 12.

  The ROM 11 stores a program and various data (for example, fonts) necessary for executing the program. The RAM 12 is a work memory used for program execution. Note that the computer-readable recording medium that stores programs and data used for processing in the tape printer 1 includes physical (non-temporary) recording media such as the ROM 11 and the RAM 12.

  The display drive circuit 13 is a liquid crystal display driver circuit or an organic EL display driver circuit. The display drive circuit 13 controls the display unit 6 based on the display data stored in the RAM 12.

  Under the control of the control circuit 10, the head drive circuit 9 controls energization to the heating element 8 a included in the thermal head 8 based on the print data and the control signal. The thermal head 8 prints line by line by heating the thermal tape 42 with the heating element 8a. The thermistor 14 is embedded in the thermal head 8. The thermistor 14 measures the temperature of the thermal head 8.

  The transport motor drive circuit 15 drives the transport motor 16 under the control of the control circuit 10. The conveyance motor 16 is a drive unit that rotates and moves the platen roller 7. The platen roller 7 is rotated by the driving force of the transport motor 16 and transports the thermal tape 42 along the longitudinal direction (sub-scanning direction, transport direction) of the thermal tape 42.

  The cutter motor drive circuit 17 drives the cutter motor 18 under the control of the control circuit 10. The full cutter 30 is a cutting device for a tape printer that operates by the power of the cutter motor 18 and fully cuts the thermal tape 42. The full cut is to cut all layers (L1 to L5) of the thermal tape 42.

  FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the full cutter 30 before the thermal tape 42 is cut. FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the full cutter 30 before cutting when viewed from a direction different from that in FIG. 7. FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the full cutter 30 during cutting of the thermal tape 42. FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the full cutter 30 during cutting when viewed from a direction different from that in FIG. 9. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the full cutter 30 after the thermal tape 42 is cut. FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the full cutter 30 after cutting when viewed from a direction different from that in FIG. 11. Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the full cutter 30 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 7 to 12.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the full cutter 30 includes a flange 31, a pressing member 34, and a receiving member 35. The full cutter 30 opens and closes the collar 31 to cut the thermal tape 42 to create a tape piece, and uses the pressing member 34 and the receiving member 35 to close to the cut surface of the end of the tape piece. Make a crease at the end.

  The collar 31 cuts the thermal tape 42. The collar 31 includes a fixed blade 32 fixed to the tape printing apparatus 1 and a movable blade 33 that swings so as to intersect the conveyance path of the thermal tape 42. When the movable blade 33 swings about the rotation shaft 31a, the collar 31 opens and closes, and the thermal tape 42 is cut.

  More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the thermal tape 42 is transported to the cutting position in a state where the collar 31 is opened. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the hook 31 starts to close, and the hook 31 gradually cuts the thermal tape 42 from below to above. And as shown in FIG.11 and FIG.12, the thermal tape 42 is cut | disconnected completely because the collar 31 closes and the fixed blade 32 and the movable blade 33 cross | intersect.

  The pressing member 34 and the receiving member 35 crease the end portion of the thermal tape 42 cut by the flange 31 as the flange 31 is opened and closed. The pressing member 34 is fixed to the movable blade 33, more specifically, to the side surface of the movable blade 33 on the downstream side in the transport direction. On the other hand, the receiving member 35 is fixed to the tape printer 1. The pressing member 34 oscillates the movable blade 33 and closes the collar 31, thereby pressing the thermal tape 42 in a direction intersecting the conveyance path downstream of the movable blade 33 in the conveyance direction and receiving the thermal tape 42. Press to 35. That is, the pressing member 34 presses the heat-sensitive tape 42 cut by the collar 31 in a direction that intersects the conveyance path. The receiving member 35 is in contact with the pressing member 34 with the collar 31 closed.

  The pressing member 34 has an L shape when viewed from the direction along the cutting edge of the movable blade 33 (for example, the direction A shown in FIG. 8). That is, the pressing member 34 has an L shape in a cross section that intersects with a line along the cutting edge of the movable blade 33. As a result, the pressing member 34 can press the thermal tape 42 at a position away from the movable blade 33 to some extent along the transport direction.

  The pressing member 34 has an L shape when viewed from a direction along the conveyance direction (for example, the direction B shown in FIG. 8) in a state where the collar 31 is closed. The pressing member 34 includes a first pressing portion 34a as an L-shaped horizontal portion and a second pressing portion 34b as an L-shaped vertical portion. The first pressing portion 34a is provided at a position farther from the rotating shaft 31a of the movable blade 33 than the second pressing portion 34b. The 1st press part 34a protrudes toward the conveyance path rather than the 2nd press part 34b.

  The receiving member 35 has an L shape when viewed from a direction along the conveyance direction (for example, a direction C shown in FIG. 8). The receiving member 35 includes a first receiving portion 35a as an L-shaped vertical portion, and includes a second receiving portion 35b as an L-shaped horizontal portion. The first receiving portion 35a is provided at a position farther from the rotating shaft 31a of the movable blade 33 than the second receiving portion 35b. The 2nd receiving part 35b protrudes toward the conveyance path rather than the 1st receiving part 35a.

  The pressing member 34 and the receiving member 35 have shapes corresponding to each other when viewed from the direction along the conveying direction. For this reason, the heat-sensitive tape 42 is held between the pressing member 34 and the receiving member 35 in a state where the collar 31 is closed. More specifically, the 1st press part 34a and the 1st receiving part 35a hold | grip the thermal tape 42 outside a conveyance path in the state which closed the collar 31, and the 2nd press part 34b and the 2nd receiving part 35b Nipping the heat-sensitive tape 42 on the conveyance path with the collar 31 closed. That is, the full cutter 30 holds the other part of the thermal tape 42 outside the conveyance path while holding the part of the thermal tape 42 on the conveyance path. Thereby, it is possible to make a crease on the thermal tape 42, more specifically, on the end portion closer to the cut surface of the end portions of the thermal tape 42 cut by the flange 31.

  More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the thermal tape 42 is transported to the cutting position in a state where the collar 31 is opened. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the flange 31 cuts the lower part of the thermal tape 42 (the side closer to the rotary shaft 31 a), the first pressing portion 34 a becomes the upper part of the thermal tape 42 (the rotary shaft). The pressing of the side far from 31a is started. At this time, since the upper part of the thermal tape 42 has not been cut yet and the thermal tape 42 to which the pressing force is applied does not escape from the first pressing part 34a, the first pressing part 34a firmly presses the thermal tape 42. be able to. 11 and 12, when the flange 31 reaches the upper end of the thermal tape 42 and the thermal tape 42 is completely cut, the upper portion of the end portion of the thermal tape 42 that has become a free end. Is pressed against the first receiving portion 35a by the first pressing portion 34a, and is held between the first pressing portion 34a and the first receiving portion 35a. Further, the lower part of the end portion of the thermal tape 42 that has become a free end is pressed against the second receiving portion 35b by the second pressing portion 34b, and is held between the second pressing portion 34b and the second receiving portion 35b. . As a result, the end of the thermal tape 42 is creased.

  As described above, according to the full cutter 30 and the tape printer 1, the pressing member 34 is fixed to the movable blade 33, so that the thermal tape 42 is cut to create a tape piece and a crease is formed at the end of the tape piece. You can turn on. By attaching a crease to the end portion of the tape piece, the separator L1 is easily lifted from the base material L3 at the end portion of the tape piece, so that the separator L1 is easily peeled off from the tape piece.

  The full cutter 30 has a receiving member 35 that contacts the pressing member 34, and the thermal tape 42 is sandwiched between the pressing member 34 and the receiving member 35. Thereby, a crease can be firmly attached to the boundary between the portion of the thermal tape 42 that is sandwiched and the portion that is not sandwiched. When the crease is firmly formed, the separator L1 is further easily lifted. For this reason, it becomes easier to peel the separator L1 from the tape piece.

  In the full cutter 30, the upper part of the thermal tape 42 is held outside the conveyance path while firmly supporting the lower part of the thermal tape 42 on the conveyance path. As a result, a mountain-shaped fold and a valley-shaped fold are formed on the thermal tape 42. When the plurality of creases are formed, a large float is generated by the separator L1, which makes it easier to peel the separator L1 from the tape piece.

  Moreover, in the full cutter 30, the upper part of the thermal tape 42 is pressed toward the outside of the conveyance path and is held outside the conveyance path. Since the upper part of the thermal tape 42 is not cut for a while from the start of cutting of the thermal tape 42, it can resist the pressing force. Accordingly, the pressing force can be reliably transmitted to the heat-sensitive tape 42, so that the fold can be firmly attached.

  In the full cutter 30, the pressing member 34 has an L shape in a cross section that intersects with a line along the cutting edge of the movable blade 33. By having such a shape, the portion of the pressing member 34 that contacts the thermal tape 42 can be separated from the movable blade 33 to some extent. As a result, a long stroke can be taken when the pressing member 34 presses the heat-sensitive tape 42 in the direction intersecting the conveyance path, so that the heat-sensitive tape 42 can be firmly creased.

  The embodiments described above are specific examples for facilitating understanding of the invention, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Various modifications and changes can be made to the cutting device and the tape printing device without departing from the scope of the claims.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the full cutter 30 is operated by the power of the motor has been described. However, the full cutter 30 may be moved manually. For example, the tape printing apparatus 1 may have a cut button in the input unit 3, and a mechanism for converting a pressing force when the user presses the cut button into a force for swinging the movable blade 33 is tape printing. The apparatus 1 may be provided.

  In the above-described embodiment, the full cutter 30 is used in a state of being attached to the tape printer 1, but may be used in a state of being detached from the tape printer 1. Particularly, by making the pressing member L-shaped and lengthening the stroke of the pressing member, even if the receiving member is omitted, the crease can be firmly formed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the pressing member having an L shape when viewed from the transport direction is illustrated, but the shape of the pressing member is not limited to the L shape. The shape of the pressing member may be, for example, a shape in which the width gradually changes instead of a shape in which the width changes stepwise from the second pressing portion 34b toward the first pressing portion 34a.

  In the above-described embodiment, the tape printer 1 having the input unit 3 and the display unit 6 has been illustrated. However, the tape printer 1 may not include the input unit 3 and the display unit 6, and print data and The print command may be received from an electronic device different from the tape printer 1.

Hereinafter, the invention described in the scope of claims at the beginning of the application of the present application will be added.
