Description

  The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for attaching a non-contact type data carrier member such as an interposer to another non-contact type data carrier member such as an antenna or a product such as a card.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless tag includes an interposer 2 that is a non-contact type data carrier member on an antenna 1 that is a non-contact type data carrier member. The end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 are electrically connected by an interposer 2, and the antenna 1 to which the interposer 2 is attached is entirely covered with a protective layer (not shown) such as a resin film.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the antenna 1 is formed by attaching a conductive layer having a desired pattern to the surface of a sheet-like base material 3 made of, for example, paper or resin. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the interposer 2 is formed by electrically connecting strip-like conductive sheets 5 and 5 to electrodes (not shown) on both sides of the IC chip 4, respectively, as shown in FIG. Further, the conductive sheets 5 and 5 on both sides are joined to the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 so as to be conductive. The conductive sheets 5 and 5 have the same layer structure as that of the antenna 1 and are formed by laminating a conductive layer on a substrate that is relatively thinner than the substrate 3 of the antenna 1.

  Conventionally, the interposer 2 and the antenna 1 before being assembled as a wireless tag are formed on separate continuous base materials at a pitch corresponding to each size. In order to join the interposer 2 to the antenna 1, the base material of the interposer 2 and the base material of the antenna 1 are arranged in parallel, and each of them is intermittently run by one pitch, and is punched when one of the base materials is temporarily stopped. One interposer 2 is punched out by the machine. The punched interposer 2 is attracted by the transport robot by the suction head, transported onto one antenna 1, and placed on the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1. The interposer 2 placed on the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 is bonded to the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 by ultrasonic vibration or the like. The base material of the antenna 1 to which the interposer 2 is bonded is wound up, and then divided for each pitch of the antenna 1 and subjected to a desired process to form a wireless tag.

  Conventionally, a system in which the punched interposer 2 is sent to the antenna 1 via two rotating bodies has been proposed instead of the method of transferring the punched interposer 2 onto the antenna 1 by a transfer robot. This is because one punched interposer 2 is received by the holder of the first rotating body and transferred to the holder of the second rotating body, and the interposer 2 received by the second rotating body is placed on the antenna 1. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 4, this non-contact data carrier member mounting apparatus is configured to have a knife edge 7 while the continuous release paper 6 on which the interposer 2 that is a non-contact data carrier member is attached at a predetermined pitch travels in one direction. And a non-contact data carrier member supplying means for sequentially peeling the interposer 2 from the continuous release paper 6 and a continuous base on which the antenna 1 as a non-contact data carrier member mounting body is formed at a predetermined pitch. The material 3a is run under the knife edge 7 to electrically connect the interposer 2 to the antenna 1 and the mounted body supply means for receiving the interposer 2 to be peeled off from the continuous release paper 6 on the antenna 1. Joining means for joining.

  The interposer 2 is the same as that shown in FIG. 3, and is formed by electrically connecting strip-like flexible conductive sheets 5 and 5 to electrodes (not shown) on both sides of the IC chip 4. A non-conductive adhesive (not shown) is applied to the back surfaces of the conductive sheets 5 and 5 in layers, and the interposer 2 is attached to the continuous release paper 6 at a constant pitch by this adhesive.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the continuous release paper 6 carrying the interposer 2 at a constant pitch is mounted in the mounting device in a state of being wound up in a roll shape. The continuous release paper 6 is fed out from the feed roll 6a, and after being inverted into an acute angle at the tip of the knife edge 7, it is taken up as a take-up roll 6b. The take-up roll 6b is driven in the direction of the arrow by a motor (not shown) which is a non-contact data carrier member supply means, whereby the continuous release paper 6 travels between the feed roll 6a and the take-up roll 6b at a constant speed v. . As shown in FIG. 5, the interposer 2 on the continuous release paper 6 peels from the continuous release paper 6 when the continuous release paper 6 is reversed at the tip of the knife edge 7. The continuous release paper 6 is obtained by subjecting a strip-like body such as paper, a synthetic resin film, and a nonwoven fabric to a release treatment.

  The antenna 1 is the same as that shown in FIG. 2, and is formed by attaching a conductive layer having a desired pattern to the surface of a sheet-like substrate 3 made of paper, synthetic resin, or the like. The base material 3 is initially continuous, and the antennas 1 are formed at a constant pitch on the continuous base material 3a.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the continuous base material 3a carrying the antenna 1 at a constant pitch is mounted in the mounting device in a state of being wound in a roll shape. The continuous base material 3a is fed out from the feed roll 3b, passed through just below the knife edge 7, and taken up as a take-up roll 3c. The take-up roll 3c is driven in the direction of the arrow by a motor (not shown) which is a mounted body supply means, whereby the continuous base material 3a travels between the feed roll 3b and the take-up roll 3c at a constant speed V. A guide plate 10 is installed under the traveling path of the continuous base material 3a.

  The pitch of the antenna 1 on the continuous base material 3 a is generally larger than the pitch of the interposer 2 on the continuous release paper 6, and one interposer 2 is supplied for one antenna 1. The continuous base material 3a travels at a speed V higher than the travel speed v of the continuous release paper 6. However, one interposer 2 is peeled off from the continuous release paper 3a and on one antenna 1 of the continuous base material 3a. When the process is shifted to the above, preferably, the entire continuous release paper 6 from the feed roll 6a to the take-up roll 6b, the non-contact data carrier member supply device A including the knife edge 7 and the like are integrally shown by an arrow a. It moves obliquely downward and is accelerated so as to have the same speed as the traveling speed V of the continuous base material 3a. As a result, the continuous release paper 6 moves in synchronization with the traveling speed V of the continuous base material 3 a, and reversely travels at the speed v at the tip of the knife edge 7 to deliver the interposer 2 onto the antenna 1. When the interposer 2 is passed over the antenna 1, the non-contact data carrier member supply device A moves obliquely upward indicated by the arrow b and returns to the original position.

  The traveling control of the non-contact data carrier member supply device and the continuous base material 3a is performed by projecting and receiving the mark, the edge of the interposer 2, the edge of the antenna 1, the ends 1a and 1b of the antenna 1, etc. This can be done by detecting the above.

  Thus, when the interposer 2 that peels from the continuous release paper 6 is received on the antenna 1 of the continuous base material 3a, the running speed 0 of the non-contact data carrier member supply device is set to the continuous base material 3a of the antenna 1. If the vehicle speed is increased to the traveling speed V, the interposer 2 can be accurately attached to the antenna 1 without causing a positional shift.

  If the pitch of the antenna 1 and the pitch of the interposer 2 are equal, the continuous base material 3a and the continuous release paper 6 can be run at the same speed, and in this case, the above control is unnecessary.

  Due to the controlled running of the non-contact data carrier member supply device and the continuous base material 3a, the conductive sheets 5 and 5 of the interposer 2 have the ends 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 due to the adhesive on the back surface thereof as shown in FIG. Adhere to. Thereby, temporary joining with respect to the antenna 1 of the interposer 2 is completed.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, preferably, a nozzle 8 is disposed slightly above the tip of the knife edge 7 as a pressing means for pressing the interposer 2 toward the antenna 1. A gas such as air is ejected from the nozzle 8 and the interposer 2 from which the airflow is peeled off from the continuous release paper 6 is pressed onto the antenna 1 of the continuous base material 3a. Due to this pressing action, the conductive sheets 5 and 5 of the interposer 2 are temporarily bonded so that the adhesive on the back surface is pressed against the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 so that they are not easily peeled even by a small size interposer. .

  As shown in FIG. 4, a caulking device is disposed downstream of the knife edge 7 of the continuous substrate 3a as a joining means for joining the interposer 2 to the antenna 1 so as to be electrically connected. . The caulking device includes a roller 9a having a caulking die on its peripheral surface and a pressure roller 9b, and the conductive sheets 5 and 5 of the interposer 2 are embossed together with the ends 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 between the rollers 9a and 9b. It is supposed to be. By pressing between the rollers 9a and 9b, the conductive layer of the conductive sheets 5 and 5 penetrates the adhesive and comes into contact with the conductive layers which are the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1, so that the interposer 2 is connected to the antenna 1. Is electrically conductive. As a joining means, an ultrasonic bonding apparatus or the like can be used in addition to a caulking apparatus.

  The antenna 1 to which the interposer 2 is attached is taken up as a take-up roll 3c together with the continuous base material 3a.

  (2) The continuous release paper 6 is fed out from the feed roll 6a of the continuous release paper 6, reversed by the knife edge 7, and wound around the take-up roll 6b. Further, the continuous base material 3a is fed out from the feed roll 3b of the continuous base material 3a, passed under the knife edge 7, and wound around the take-up roll 3c.

  (3) Both winding rolls 6b and 3c are driven in the direction of the arrow, and the continuous release paper 6 and the continuous base material 3a are caused to travel at speeds v and V, respectively.

  (4) As shown in FIG. 5, when the continuous release paper 6 is reversed at the tip of the knife edge 7, the interposer 2 is peeled off from the continuous release paper 6 and transferred to the antenna 1 on the continuous base material 3a. To do. At that time, the non-contact data carrier member supply device A integrally moves obliquely downward as indicated by the arrow a, and is accelerated to the traveling speed V of the continuous base material 3a when trying to contact the continuous base material 3a. The Thereby, the interposer 2 is smoothly received on the antenna 1 and adheres to the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 by the adhesive on the back surface. Further, when the interposer 2 moves onto the antenna 1, a gas such as air is ejected from the nozzle 8, and the interposer 2 from which the airflow is peeled off from the continuous release paper 6 is pressed onto the antenna 1. As a result, the conductive sheets 5 and 5 of the interposer 2 are pressed against the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 by the adhesive on the back surface of the interposer 2 so that even if it is a small size interposer, it is temporarily bonded. Is done.

  (5) After the interposer 2 moves onto the antenna 1, the non-contact data carrier member supply device A moves obliquely upward indicated by the arrow b and returns to the original position. During this time, the next antenna 1 arrives below the knife edge 7. Then, when the next interposer 2 reaches the knife edge 7 at the running speed v and starts to peel from the continuous release paper 6, the non-contact data carrier member supply device A moves integrally and obliquely downward as indicated by the arrow a. Then, when trying to contact the continuous base material 3 a, the speed is accelerated to V, and the interposer 2 moves onto the antenna 1. The continuous release paper 6 from which the interposer 2 has been peeled off is reversed by the knife edge 7 and then taken up and collected by the take-up roller 6b. Thereafter, similar operations are repeated, and the interposer 2 is temporarily joined to the antenna 1 one after another.

  (6) The antenna 1 to which the interposer 2 is temporarily joined travels at a speed V together with the continuous base material 3a, and is joined by a caulking device as a next joining means with the continuous base material 3a as shown in FIG. It is processed. Specifically, the conductive sheets 5 and 5 of the interposer 2 are embossed together with the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1 by the rollers 9a and 9b of the caulking device, and the conductive layers of the conductive sheets 5 and 5 are adhesive. And contact the conductive layer which is the end portions 1a and 1b of the antenna 1. As a result, the interposer 2 is fixed to the antenna 1 and is electrically conducted at the same time.

  (7) The antenna 1 that has passed through the caulking device and is finally joined to the interposer 2 is taken up as a take-up roll 3c together with the continuous base material 3a. The take-up roll 3c is then processed into a wireless tag or the like and divided for each antenna as shown in FIG.

  In the above embodiment, the interposer and the antenna are described as being supplied in a single row. However, the interposer can be supplied to a plurality of antennas at the same time by supplying them in a plurality of rows. In addition, continuous release paper and continuous base material can be driven by other driving means such as nip rollers, and the timing adjustment between the antenna and the interposer can be controlled more finely by interposing a dancer roller in the middle. You can also.

  In addition, by attaching a non-contact type data carrier member such as an IC label to the continuous release paper instead of the interposer, the IC label or the like can be mounted on the mounted body. The mounted body can also be a non-contact data carrier member other than an antenna, or a product such as a card.
