Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to fixed characters, numerals, marks,
The present invention relates to a method of printing characters, numbers, and the like indicating a variable on a basic printing nameplate on which a frame line or the like is printed.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 3 is a front view of the basic printing nameplate, and the portion indicated by A is a portion for indicating the type, and colored printing frames 1 such as gray, green, and yellow for distinguishing the series are printed on the nameplate cloth.
Items fixed to this colored printing frame 1 (for example, device name 2a and ABCD
Format 2b, such as EF, is displayed in black printing or colored letters. The part indicated by B is a part that indicates the rating, and is fixed to the nameplate cloth (for example, rated voltage ○ indicated by 3a).
Characters, numbers, and frame lines, such as ＶV, rated sensitivity current indicated by 3b, bmA, and rated breaking current indicated by 3c KAKA), are printed in black. The part indicated by C is the other display part,
Characters and numbers such as fixed items (for example, rated non-operating current mAmA indicated by 3d, rated breaking current ○ V ○ KA, ＶV ○ KA indicated by 3e) are printed on the nameplate cloth in black. This basic printing nameplate is always in stock, but at the time of product manufacturing (assembly), the basic printing nameplate that is stocked in the first process of the manufacturing line is selected and affixed to the product by the automatic pasting machine, and the product is processed in the final process. Indicated by 4a, 4 on the basic printing nameplate attached to Are printed in black by a thermal transfer type printing machine.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Locations 2b, 3 of the frame enclosed by the dotted line on the basic printing nameplate described above
Since a to 3b are numbers including variable elements, it is preferable to remove them from the basic printing nameplate and perform printing of the thermal transfer method in the last step of the production line in the same manner as the above-mentioned variable items, but print the places indicated by 3a to 3b. Since the numbers are small and the prints of the thermal transfer method are blurred and the printing result becomes unclear in the printing by the thermal transfer method, they are printed on the basic printing nameplate simultaneously with the fixed items in advance. Since the characters at the locations indicated by 2a and 2b are larger than 3a to 3e, printing by the thermal transfer method is possible, but the characters at this location change in conjunction with the numbers at the locations indicated by 3a to 3e. If 3e is printed in advance, it is easier to print at the same time, so that it is printed simultaneously with the fixed items on the basic printing nameplate. For this reason, there are problems that not only the number of series but also an extremely large number of basic printing labels including variable elements must be prepared for the basic printing labels, which makes inventory management difficult and increases storage space. In addition, the time required to select the basic printing nameplate when setting the automatic attaching machine in the first process of the production line is increased.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of printing even small characters and numerals in a final step of a production line with all variable elements in order to minimize the number of basic printing nameplates in stock.

[Means for solving the problem]

In the present invention, the following printing method is used to
You can print numbers. In other words, in the method of printing letters, numbers, etc., which show variable items on the nameplate fabric, the characters, numbers, marks, frame lines, etc., indicating fixed items are printed on the nameplate fabric. , A colored printing frame and a colored printing window printed with yellow or the like are provided, and the entire surface of the nameplate is covered on the surface thereof. The black print was scraped off to expose the colored printing ground or the nameplate material immediately below the black printing, and printing of the variation items was performed.

(Operation)

The printing method of shaving black printing spots by laser processing can print even small letters and numbers, so all variable elements including small letters and numbers can be printed in the final process of the production line, and the basic printing nameplate only prints fixed items Therefore, the number of basic printing nameplates is extremely small corresponding to the number of series.

〔Example〕

In order to carry out the nameplate printing method according to one embodiment of the present invention, a basic printing nameplate as shown in FIG. 1 is used.
The type display portion A of the basic printing nameplate is provided with a colored printing frame of gray, green, yellow, or the like for distinguishing the series on the nameplate cloth, and a character (OO) indicating fixed items in the colored printing frame.
A black printing 11 that exposes a colored background, such as gray, green, or yellow, by extracting the OO container) is provided. The rating display part B is a letter / number (rated voltage OOV, etc.) and a mark indicating fixed items on the nameplate cloth. Further, black printing 12 in which the nameplate material (silver white) is exposed by extracting the frame line is applied. The other display portion C is provided with a color printing window 13 such as gray, green, yellow, etc. at one corner for distinguishing the series, and numerals and characters for displaying fixed items (（-−- ○ -VV, rated non-operating). For example, a black print 14 is applied to cover the nameplate fabric and the colored printing window 13 to expose the nameplate fabric and the colored printing window 13 by extracting. Note that the colored print frame in the format display section A and the colored print window 13 in the other display section C are simultaneously printed in the same color, and black printing 11 in the format display section A, rated display section B, and other display sections C is performed. , 12, and 14 are simultaneously printed in black.

This basic printing nameplate (Fig. 1) is always in stock for each series, and when a product flows through the production line, the first series of the series prints out the basic printing nameplate of each series in the corresponding series. Selected products are attached to products. On the basic printing nameplate affixed to the product, letters and numbers indicating the variation items are printed in the final step of the manufacturing line, which is performed in the following manner. That is, laser processing is performed on predetermined positions of the black prints 11, 12, and 14 on the basic printing nameplate to remove black and display characters and numerals. In this case, in the type display section A, the printing color is the colored background of the colored printing frame for distinguishing the series, and in the rated display section B and other display sections C, the printing color is nameplate cloth (silver white).

〔The invention's effect〕

According to the present invention, since the printing employs a method of shaving by laser processing, even small characters and numbers can be clearly printed, so characters and numbers having variable elements conventionally printed on the basic printing nameplate are removed from the basic printing nameplate. However, printing can be performed in the final step of the production line. For this reason, the number of basic printing nameplates can be reduced only by the number of product series, and inventory management becomes easy. In addition, since the basic printing nameplate is colored and printed to distinguish the series, inventory control and selective picking have been simplified.
