5 and 6 are flowcharts showing the operation of the labeling device described above. When the operation of the labeling device is started, the input of the product detection signal from the product detection sensor 57 is awaited, and the product detection signal is sent to the CPU 1
It is determined whether or not the input has been input to 21 (S1).

When the product detection signal is not input to the CPU 121, the product detection signal input waiting state is continued. On the other hand, when the product detection signal is input to the CPU 121, the rotary encoder 55 for the transport path is used.
The counter for integrating the pulse signal P1 input from is cleared (S2).

Next, the pulse signal P1 is input from the rotary encoder 55 for the conveying path (S3). As a result, accumulation of the movement amount of the product 33 conveyed on the conveyance path 53 to the counter is started. Next, it is determined whether a predetermined number of pulses has been input to the counter (S4).

When it is determined that the predetermined number of pulses has not been input to the counter, the product 33 has not been conveyed to the predetermined position, and the process returns to S3. On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined number of pulses has been input to the counter, the product 33 conveyed on the conveyance path 53.
Is located at a predetermined position where the printed label L should be attached,

A transport speed of 3 is obtained.

Next, the frequency F2 of the pulse signal P2 input from the rotary encoder 97 for the label mount tape is obtained (S9). Accordingly, the delivery speed of the printed label L attached to the label mount tape T is obtained.

Next, it is determined whether the frequency F1 and the frequency F2 are the same (S10). And the frequency F
When it is determined that 1 and frequency F2 are not the same,
It is determined whether the frequency F1 is higher than the frequency F2 (S11). As a result, it is determined which of the conveyance speed of the product 33 and the delivery speed of the label L is faster.

When it is determined that the frequency F1 is higher than the frequency F2, the transport speed of the product 33 is higher than the delivery speed of the label L, and the label L
Since it is necessary to increase the delivery speed of the servo motor, a rotation speed increase signal is output to the motor driver 123 for the servo motor, the rotation speed of the servo motor 85 is increased, and the process returns to S6 (S12).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the frequency F2 is higher than the frequency F1, the delivery speed of the label L is faster than the transportation speed of the product 33, and the delivery speed of the label L needs to be slowed down. Therefore, the rotation speed decrease signal is output to the motor driver 123 for the servo motor, the rotation speed of the servo motor 85 is decreased, and the process returns to S6 (S13).

Next, the pulse signal P2 is input from the rotary encoder 97 for the label mount tape (S1).
6). As a result, the delivery amount of the label mount tape T is added to the counter. Next, it is determined whether a predetermined number of pulses has been input to the counter (S17). When it is determined that the predetermined number of pulses has not been input to the counter, the printed label L attached to the label mount tape T has not been sent to the predetermined position, so the process returns to S16. .

On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined number of pulses is input to the counter, the printed label L attached to the label mount tape T is sent to a predetermined position and the sending of the printed label L is stopped. Therefore, the output of the servo motor rotation signal to the motor driver 123 for the servo motor is stopped (S18). Next, it is determined whether or not a print signal is input from the stored amount detection sensor 81 (S19).

When the print signal is input, the buffer roller 29 shown in FIG. 1 is located at the position shown by the chain double-dashed line, and the label mount tape T to which the printed label L is attached stores a predetermined amount. Since it has not been printed, it is necessary to print on the label L, and a print command signal is output to the printer 11 (S20). Next, it is determined whether or not a feeding signal is input from the feeding amount detection sensor 71 (S2).
1).

Therefore, it is not necessary to feed the label mount tape T from the label supply mechanism 17, The output of the feeding motor operation signal to the motor driver 125 is stopped (S2
2), the process is returned to S19.

On the other hand, when the feeding signal is input, the label mount tape buffer roller 25 shown in FIG. 1 is located at the position shown by the chain double-dashed line, and the label mount tape T to which the label L is attached is located. Since the fixed amount is not stored, it is necessary to feed the label mount tape T from the label supply mechanism 17, and the motor driver 12 for the gear built-in motor is required.
5, the feeding motor operation signal is output (S23),
The process returns to S19.

Then, in S19, when the print signal is not input, the buffer roller 29 shown in FIG. 1 is located at the position shown by the solid line, and the label mount tape T to which the printed label L is attached is located. Since it is stored in a fixed amount, there is no need to print on the label L, so the processing is terminated.
