[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a laminator device for thermocompression bonding of a transparent film for the purpose of protecting the surface of an ID card having a photo or personal information printed on the surface. More specifically, the laminator is an improved method for correcting card warpage after thermocompression bonding. The present invention relates to an apparatus, and further relates to a way stress type laminator apparatus that performs lamination while cutting a transparent film continuously wound in a roll shape into a predetermined length.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, various ID cards have been used, and in order to prevent tampering of the ID card and improve the card life, lamination is performed by thermo-compressing a transparent film about 30 microns thick on the surface of the ID card on which desired information is printed. It has come to be done. As apparatuses suitable for such lamination processing, laminator apparatuses disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,807,461, US Pat. No. 5,783,024, and US Pat. No. 6,159,327 are known. The laminator disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,807,461 is provided with a transparent film (patch) precut into a predetermined shape on a carrier (mounting sheet), and the carrier identifies the position of the precut patch. Sensor mark is added, and the laminator detects this sensor mark prior to lamination, and only the patch is separated from the carrier while identifying the position of the precut patch, and is thermocompression bonded to the surface of the printed ID card. It is a method. This method is becoming unfavorable in terms of operation cost and environmental protection because the carrier is discarded as waste.
[0003]
As a lamination system that has improved such drawbacks, systems disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,783,024 and US Pat. No. 6,159,327 have been put into practical use. In this method, the end side of a transparent laminate roll wound continuously in a roll is fed out, the laminate film is transported along the film transport path, cut to a predetermined length with a cutter, and then a laminator from the card printer. This is a method in which lamination is completed by superimposing a printed ID card that is put into the apparatus and conveyed along another conveyance path at a merging point and thermocompression bonding with a heat roller provided downstream. As a result, since the laminate film is always used after cutting only as much as necessary, there is a goodness that a wasteful carrier like the laminator device disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,807,461 does not remain, and the way stress type laminator device. It is also called. Also, US Pat. No. 6,159,327 discloses a laminator device that uses the same method as US Pat. No. 5,783,024 to perform lamination on both sides of the inserted card. However, US Pat. No. 5,807,461 does not disclose a method for correcting card warpage after lamination, and the laminator disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,783,024 and US Pat. No. 6,159,327 is not disclosed. In the device, since correction force is applied uniformly in the longitudinal direction of the card with a correction roller with a length corresponding to the card width after lamination, sufficient correction cannot be performed depending on the characteristics of the laminate film used. As shown in FIG. 5, a distorted card is completed. As a result, there is a problem that the reading / writing failure of the magnetic data provided on the card, the reading error of the bar code data, or the card with poor quality, especially the double-sided laminator. It was.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Thus, the conventional laminator device has a problem of ruining the printed ID card because the warp correction function for the card after lamination is not sufficient. Such inconvenience is a drawback that raises the issuance cost of the ID card, and as a result, prevents the spread of ID cards having tamper resistance and long life. The present invention eliminates the disadvantages seen in the prior art, sufficiently corrects the card warpage that occurs after lamination, and contributes to the reduction of operation costs while contributing to environmental conservation by minimizing the generation of waste laminate film. It is an object to provide a laminator device.
[0005]
[Means for solving problems]
In order to solve such a problem, in the laminator device according to the present invention, a film having a thermal adhesive layer on one side of the film is thermocompression-bonded to the surface of the card while being pressed by a heat roll heated against the resin card. A laminator having thermocompression bonding means, comprising: a correction means for correcting card warpage independently of both sides of the card along the card conveyance direction downstream of the thermocompression bonding means; As a means, a film transporting means configured to be rotatable and configured by a pair of rollers, and further, a film having a thermal adhesive layer on one surface of the belt-like film and transported in a roll shape along the first path; A cutting means for cutting the film into a predetermined length in the middle of the first path, and a card transport means for transporting the card along a second path that merges with the first path And a laminator device comprising a thermocompression bonding means for thermocompression bonding the cut film on the card surface conveyed downstream of the junction, and both sides of the card along the card conveying direction downstream of the thermocompression bonding means And a correction means for correcting the warp of the card independently of each other, and further comprising two sets of the first path, and cutting on both sides of the card conveyed along the second path The laminator apparatus provided with the thermocompression bonding means for thermocompression bonding each of the formed films is also corrected independently of the card warpage with respect to both sides of the card along the card conveying direction downstream of the thermocompression bonding means. It has a straightening means and enables lamination with less warpage.
[0006]
[Action]
As a result, it is possible to apply a correction force independently to both sides of the card along the card transport direction, and to prevent the failure of ruining the printed ID card as a result. An ID card without warping can be obtained, and the generation of useless laminate films can be minimized, contributing to environmental conservation and contributing to reduction in operation costs.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows an example of the overall configuration of a double-sided laminator device 1 that performs lamination on both sides of the same ID card as a way stress type laminator device as an embodiment of a laminator device according to the present invention. The transparent laminating roll 2 wound in a roll shape is loaded onto the supply spindle 3 and conveyed along the conveying path 240. The laminate film supply monitoring sensor 10 is an optical sensor represented by a reflection type optical sensor, and is provided in the middle of the conveyance path 240 to monitor the supply state of the laminate film. The laminate film is suspended by a roller 4 provided as a part of the conveying means, passes between both blades of the cutter 7 and passes under a laminate film presence / absence detection sensor 11 represented by a reflection type optical sensor. It is a path that is nipped and conveyed by rollers 8 and 9 provided as a part of the laminate film conveying means. Here, the physical distance between the cutter 7 and the laminate film presence / absence detection sensor 11 is a design value of the apparatus and is a known value L. Further, the laminate film can be conveyed from the laminate roll 102 with a substantially target configuration with a card conveyance path 250 described later as a boundary. That is, the transparent laminate roll 102 wound in a roll shape is loaded onto the supply spindle 103 and conveyed along the conveyance path 241. The laminate film supply monitoring sensor 110 is an optical sensor represented by a reflection type optical sensor, and is provided in the middle of the conveyance path 241 to monitor the supply state of the laminate film. The laminate film is suspended by a roller 104 provided as a part of the conveying means, passes between both blades of the cutter 107, passes under the laminate film presence / absence detection sensor 111 represented by a reflection type optical sensor, and again. It is a path that is nipped and conveyed by rollers 108 and 109 provided as a part of the laminate film conveying means. Here, the physical distance between the cutter 107 and the laminate film presence / absence detection sensor 111 is a design value of the apparatus and is a known value L as in the case of the transport path 240. On the other hand, the printed card is inserted from the entrance 251 of the laminator device 1 and conveyed on the belt 16 driven by the roller 13, the roller 14 and the roller 15, and the roller 12 facing the belt 16 in the roller 13 portion. It is conveyed along the conveying path 250 while being gripped, and after the origin is positioned by the card leading end detection sensor 17 represented by a reflection type optical sensor, the laminated film conveying path 240 and the laminated film conveying path 241 and the card conveying path 250 It is sent to the junction.
[0008]
In the laminate film conveyance path 240, the driving force of the laminate film conveyance motor 405 is transmitted to the roller 4 via the laminate load electric clutch 408, and is transmitted to the roller 5 and the roller 6 via the roller 4 and the gear. Similarly, the driving force can be transmitted to the roller 9 via the laminate feed electric clutch 418 via the roller 8 and the gear. In this embodiment, a stepping motor is employed as the laminate film transport motor 405, and the rotation amount of the roller 4 and the roller 8 can be easily controlled because the rotation amount can be easily controlled by managing the number of drive pulses. Further, if the on / off control of the laminate load electric clutch 408 and the laminate feed electric clutch 418 is combined with the rotation amount control of the motor, the conveyance of the laminate film can be finely controlled. Also in the laminate film transport path 241, as in the laminate film transport path 240, the driving force of the laminate film transport motor 420 is transmitted to the roller 104 via the laminate load electric clutch 422, and the roller 105 and the roller 106. Is transmitted through a roller 104 and a gear. Similarly, the driving force can be transmitted to the roller 109 via the roller 108 and the gear via the laminate feed electric clutch 421. On the other hand, a card transport motor 403 is prepared as a drive source in the card transport system, and a stepping motor is also used for this motor. Therefore, if the number of drive pulses for the card transport motor 403 is managed, the card transport amount can be finely controlled. The driving force of the card conveying motor 403 is transmitted to the roller 12, and further transmitted from the driving shaft of the roller 12 to the roller 13, the roller 18, the heat roller 20, and the roller 22 through a gear and a toothed belt. In addition, a driving force is transmitted to each roller facing each roller via a gear. Note that the same conveyance control is performed even if the laminated film conveyance motors 405 and 420 are eliminated from the above configuration and the driving force of the card conveyance motor 403 is transmitted to each roller of the card conveyance system via an electric clutch. It is possible. In this embodiment, an example of adopting a stepping motor as a drive source for laminate film conveyance and card conveyance has been described. However, even if a servomotor equipped with a rotation speed sensor such as a rotary encoder is used, the same conveyance is used. Control is possible.
[0009]
As shown in FIG. 3, the laminating roll 2 is fed out from the leading end 29 of the belt-like film having the width W <b> 1, and the continuous laminating film 24 is sequentially cut by the cutter 7 at the cutting position 28 and the cutting position 27. . The laminate film 24 may be a transparent film or a film subjected to hologram processing for the purpose of preventing forgery. FIG. 4 shows the laminated roll 2 in a cut state. The continuous laminated film 24 on the front side is cut at a cutting position 28 corresponding to the length L to become a laminated film 30, and the cut surface 26 is cut next. It becomes the leading edge of the laminated film. Further, the laminate roll 102 used for the back side lamination of the card is also cut in the same manner. 4 indicates the residual stress left on the base film when the laminate roll 2 is processed. This residual stress 127 is applied to the card when the softened card is cooled and cured again during lamination. This is a cause of warping. FIG. 5 shows an example of the ID card 31 in which significant warping has occurred after double-sided lamination.
[0010]
The laminated film 30 cut in this way is superposed on the front and back surfaces of the printed ID card at the junction point, and is sent between the heat roller 20 and the heat roller 21 provided downstream to be thermocompression bonded. Immediately after the heat roller 20 and the heat roller 21, a warp correction mechanism is provided on the support plate 122. The warp correction mechanism is composed of rollers that can rotate independently from each other along both sides along the card 31 conveyance direction. After the lamination, the ID card 31 is corrected for the warp due to the residual stress of the laminate film 30 by this correction mechanism, and then the discharge operation is performed by the rollers 22 and 23, and the ID is completed from the exit 252 of the laminator device 1. The card is ejected. An ID card subjected to such lamination is shown in FIG.
[0011]
Here, the configuration of the warp correction mechanism attached to the support plate 122 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 shows a view of the warp correction mechanism viewed from the direction of arrow F in FIG. The shafts of the correction rollers 120 and 121 for applying a correction force to the card 31 along the card conveying direction are fixed to the correction roller support plate 123, and the correction roller support plate 123 can be adjusted and moved in the direction of arrow B1. The correction roller support plate 123 adjusted to a desired position is fixed to the support plate 122 with a fixing screw 61. Similarly, the shafts of the correction rollers 125 and 126 are also fixed to the correction roller support plate 124, and the correction roller support plate 124 can be adjusted and moved in the direction of arrow B2. The correction roller support plate 124 adjusted to a desired position is also fixed to the support plate 122 with a fixing screw (not shown). As described above, B1 and B2 in the adjustment movement direction can independently determine the displacement position with respect to the card transport path 250. The support plate 122 itself can also be adjusted and moved in the direction of the arrow S1, and can be fixed to the frame 501 of the laminator 1 with a fixing screw 60 after adjustment to a desired position. The frame 502 is also fixed with fixing screws (not shown). However, if the support plate 122 has sufficient rigidity, the fixing screw on the frame 502 side can be omitted. As a result, even after the direction of the residual stress 127 shown in FIG. 4 is generated in a different direction from that shown in FIG. 4, the warp after lamination can be corrected by adjusting the height position of each correction roller pair.
[0012]
Next, the laminate film conveyance process will be briefly described. In the laminator 1, the laminating roll 2 is loaded on the supply spindle 3, and the laminating roll 102 is loaded on the supply spindle 103. Thereafter, a process of sequentially cutting the laminate film will be described with respect to the film conveyance path 240. In addition, since the cutting process in the film conveyance path | route 241 is the same, description is abbreviate | omitted. FIG. 7 is a view showing a process of determining a cutting position before cutting the continuous laminated film 24, and FIG. 8 is a view showing a state after cutting. In the following description, both the laminate road electric clutch 408 and the laminate feed electric clutch 418 are in an ON state capable of transmitting power. When the leading end 29 of the continuous laminate film 24 fed out from the laminating roll 2 by driving the laminate film conveying motor 405 passes between both blades of the cutter 7, and the leading end 29 is detected by the laminate film presence / absence detection sensor 11, the sensor The output signal becomes active. The laminator device 1 determines that the laminate film 24 has reached a predetermined length L to be cut based on the change in the sensor output signal, and stops driving the laminate film transport motor 405 to temporarily stop the transport of the laminate film. . When the cutter 7 is operated at this position, a laminate film 30 having a certain length L can be formed on the transport path 240 by a cutting operation as shown in FIG. Thereafter, the laminate load electric clutch 408 is turned off, and when the driving of the laminate film conveyance motor 405 is resumed, the driving force of the laminate film conveyance motor 405 is transmitted to the rollers 8 and 9 via the laminate feed electric clutch 418. Therefore, the cut laminate film 30 is conveyed in the arrow A1 direction. Thereafter, the cut laminate film for the front surface and the laminate film for the back surface are joined to the ID card 31 at a joining point composed of the roller 18 and the roller 19, and are thermocompression bonded simultaneously by the heat roller 20 and the heat roller 21.
[0013]
At this time, the card 31 is once softened as described above, and warpage occurs at the time of re-curing due to the influence of the residual stress 127 of the laminate film. Therefore, before the ID card 31 is re-cured, a correction force is applied in the direction opposite to the warping. It will be. In the example of FIG. 9, with respect to the ID card 31 immediately after lamination, the correction rollers 125 and 126 are on the lower side of the line of the card conveyance path 250, and the correction rollers 120 and 121 are on the upper side of the line of the card conveyance path 250. Adjusting and applying correction power. When a laminate film having a residual stress in the opposite direction is used, as shown in FIG. 10, the correction rollers 125 and 126 are placed on the card conveyance path 250 line with respect to the ID card 31 immediately after lamination. Further, the correction force is applied by adjusting the correction rollers 120 and 121 to the lower side of the line of the card transport path 250. In addition, when the residual stress of the laminate film exists in the direction along the film conveyance direction and the residual stress of the upper and lower laminate films is different, or when the thermocompression bonding force of the laminate film is different depending on the printed state of the card surface As shown in FIG. 11, the amount of displacement of the straightening rollers 120 and 121 and the straightening rollers 125 and 126 with respect to the line of the card transport path 250 is the same, and the straightening force can be adjusted only by the vertical direction S1 of the support plate 122. It is. Further, depending on the degree of warpage, effective correction can be flexibly performed by combining the position adjustment directions B1 and B2 of each correction roller and the position adjustment direction S1 of the support plate 122.
[0014]
FIG. 12 shows a schematic block diagram of a control unit mounted inside the laminator apparatus 1. The entire control unit of the laminator apparatus 1 is centered on an arithmetic processing circuit 401 composed of a microprocessor or the like, with a card transport control circuit 402, a card transport motor 403, a laminate film transport control circuit 404, laminate film transport motors 405 and 420, Cutter drive circuit 406, clutch drive circuit 407, laminate road electric clutches 408 and 422, laminate feed electric clutches 418 and 421, sensor signal processing circuit 409, heater temperature control circuit 410, heaters 411 and 414, operation panel signal processing circuit 412 It consists of an operation panel 413 and the like. The laminate load electric clutch 408 is used to transmit or block the driving force of the laminate film conveying motor 405 to the roller 4, and the laminate feed electric clutch 418 transmits the driving force of the laminate film conveying motor 405 to the roller 8. Or used to shut off. Similarly, the laminate load electric clutch 422 is used to transmit or block the driving force of the laminate film transport motor 420 to the roller 104, and the laminate feed electric clutch 421 uses the driving force of the laminate film transport motor 420 to the roller 108. Used to transmit to and shut off. The roller 5 and the roller 6 are connected to the roller 4 by a gear, the roller 8 and the roller 9 are also connected to each other by a gear, and similarly, the roller 105 and the roller 106 are connected to the roller 104 by a gear, and the roller 108 and the roller 109 are connected. Are also connected to each other by gears. Each roller along the transport path 250 is driven by transmitting the driving force of the card transport motor 403.
[0015]
The operation of the control unit will be briefly described below. The arithmetic processing circuit 401 first rotates the laminate film transport motor 405 via the laminate film transport control circuit 404 to feed out the laminate film 24, and at the same time, the laminate load electric clutch 408 and the laminate feed electric clutch 418 are also activated. , The roller 4 and the roller 8 rotate in synchronization, and are conveyed until the leading end 29 of the laminate film 24 reaches the sensitive position of the laminate film presence / absence detection sensor 11. When the leading end 29 of the laminate film 24 reaches the sensitive position of the laminate film presence / absence detection sensor 11, the output of the laminate film presence / absence detection sensor 11 becomes active, and this active signal is sent to the arithmetic processing circuit 401 via the sensor signal processing circuit 409. Sent. The arithmetic processing circuit 401 temporarily stores the position information at which the active signal is generated in the internal storage device, and uses this position as the origin of the laminate attachment position on the printed ID card at the time of subsequent card synchronous conveyance. Referenced. At the same time, the rotation of the laminate film transport motor 405 is stopped, and the cutter 7 is driven through the cutter driving circuit 406 to perform a cutting operation. Thereafter, the arithmetic processing circuit 401 conveys the cut laminate film 30 in the arrow A1 direction. In the conveyance of the laminate film on the film conveyance path 241 side, the control process is performed on each component in the same sequence as described above.
[0016]
On the other hand, a signal in which the leading edge 310 of the printed ID card 31 is detected by the card leading edge detection sensor 17 is sent to the arithmetic processing circuit 401 via the sensor signal processing circuit 409, and the detected position information is temporarily stored in the internal storage device. And is referred to at the time of subsequent card transport control as origin information. As a result, the printed ID card 31 is transported along the transport path 250 while the transport amount is managed in the C1 direction by the roller 12 or the like connected to the card transport motor 403 driven by a pulse command. Similarly, the cut laminate film is also conveyed along the conveyance paths 240 and 241 in synchronization with the printed ID card 31, and the printed ID card 31 is at the junction of the laminate film conveyance paths 240 and 241 and the card conveyance path 250. And is fed between the heat roller 20 and the heat roller 21 provided downstream. Heaters 411 and 414 are built in the centers of the heat rollers 20 and 21, respectively, and the temperature control is performed by the heater temperature control circuit 410 so that the surface temperature of the heat rollers 20 and 21 becomes an optimum temperature for lamination. Laminate films 30 and 130 are surely thermocompression bonded to the surface of the ID card 31.
[0017]
FIG. 6 shows an example of an ID card in which lamination is completed in this way and warping is corrected. Laminate film 30 is affixed to the surface of ID card 31 and is laminated so as to improve the peel resistance while leaving substantially uniform blanks 311, 312, 314 on the card side, and also on the back surface. Similar lamination is applied. Also, in the case of an ID card having a magnetic stripe on either side, a laminating roll with a narrow width is used, and laminating is applied to avoid the magnetic stripe area. In addition, since uneven lamination is performed on the front and back surfaces of the ID card, the card is likely to warp, and the independent warp correction mechanism of the present invention similarly exhibits the correction effect.
[0018]
In the detailed description of the present invention, the card transport motor 403 and the laminate film transport motors 405 and 420 are separately provided as the drive source of the lamination mechanism. However, the driving force of one motor has a plurality of driving forces. It is obvious that the same effect as that of the present invention can be obtained even when the transmission / disconnection is performed by the electric clutch. Moreover, although the reflection type optical sensor has been described as an example of the detection sensor for the laminate film or the printed ID card, it is obvious that the same effect can be obtained even if another type of sensor is substituted. Furthermore, although the material of the ID card to be laminated is generally made of PVC, it can also be laminated to a composite card such as PET-G, and the present invention can be applied regardless of the card material. It is obvious. Furthermore, the object to be subjected to lamination is not limited to an ID card, and the present invention can also be applied to an application in which lamination is performed while cutting a continuous film on a substrate having another shape. Further, although the way stress type double-sided laminator device has been described as an example, it can also be applied to the patch type laminator device disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,807,461, and in the previous example, the film transport path 241 It is obvious that even if the present invention is applied to a single-sided laminator apparatus in which is omitted, the same effect can be obtained, for example, with the convenience of correcting the warp due to the residual stress of various laminated films.
[0019]
