Description

  The present invention relates to an RFID label roll automatic winding apparatus that automatically winds a predetermined number of small rolls from a roll temporarily attached to a continuous mount.

  In recent years, RFID media that include an IC module and an antenna and can exchange data in a non-contact manner are becoming cheaper and used as labels in addition to IC cards. There are various types of RFID labels depending on the type of usage, amount of use, and winding of external winding and internal winding depending on the position of the RFID label, and when shipping in the form of a roll temporarily wearing the RFID label In addition, it is desirable that it can be easily divided into small rolls according to the amount used.

  Conventionally, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a mechanism capable of changing a winding form when a roll is manufactured. Patent Document 1 discloses a mechanism for winding one axis at a time with a multi-axis (4-axis) turret winder. In a multi-shaft turret winder, when a sheet-like material is manufactured by overwinding (external winding in the present invention), when a certain amount of winding has been completed on the winding shaft, the sheet is cut by an upper winding cutting device. In addition, in the case of manufacturing with lower winding (inner winding in the present invention), when a certain amount of winding is completed with the winding shaft, cutting is performed with a cutting device for lower winding. The upper winding cutting device and the lower winding cutting device are arranged according to the above.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 03-216445

  By the way, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, it is shown that when the winding with one winding shaft is completed, the cut first portion is wound around the winding core tube of the next winding shaft. There is no description about the pressure-sensitive adhesive for winding the tube. In general, an operator may apply an adhesive to the winding core tube, or the winding core tube may be coated with an adhesive and covered with release paper, and the release paper may be peeled off and wound when used. Done. That is, when the winding with one winding shaft is completed, it is detached from the shaft, a new winding core tube is set on the shaft, and an adhesive is applied, or the release paper is peeled off.

  For example, when a sheet-like material is wound at a speed of 50 m / min and a roll of 250 mmΦ is manufactured, for example, the operator removes the sheet from the shaft when the winding is completed, and a new winding core tube is attached to the shaft. It takes 5 minutes or more as an operation time for setting and releasing the release paper. However, when a small roll having a diameter of 150 mm is desired, the operation time must be shortened within at least 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and there is a problem that such a small roll cannot be manufactured. This is a problem that occurs regardless of the upper winding (outer winding) or the lower winding (inner winding).

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and can handle both outer winding and inner winding, and can shorten the time for producing the next roll in the case of a small winding roll, thereby improving manufacturing efficiency. An object of the present invention is to provide an RFID label roll automatic winding device that achieves the above.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the invention of claim 1, the outer winding and the RFID having the RFID label on the surface as a predetermined number of small rolls from a roll in which the RFID labels are temporarily attached to the continuous mount at predetermined intervals. An RFID label roll automatic winding device capable of winding in any winding direction of an inner winding with a label on the inside, and a predetermined RFID that defines a conveyance path line for a continuous RFID label on which the RFID label is temporarily attached at a predetermined interval A plurality of rollers and a plurality of winding shafts that are wound and rotated, and when one winding is completed, the winding shaft is then rotated to a position along the conveyance path line. When the winding is completed as a small winding roll, the winding shaft is removed from the winding shaft and a new core tube is set, and winding is performed by one winding shaft of the rotating winding mechanism. It is arranged according to the feed path line, and has a cutting mechanism that cuts the continuous mount when it is finished as the small roll, and is opposed to the cutting mechanism and winds up on the rotary winding mechanism. An adhesive application mechanism for applying an adhesive to a core tube set on a take-up shaft that winds up next to the take-up shaft, and on each conveyance pass line at the time of outer winding and inner winding And a reversing mechanism for reversing the cutting mechanism and the adhesive application mechanism so as to position the cutting mechanism at the cutting position.

  According to the present invention, when winding is completed as one small roll, the continuous mount is cut off by the cutting mechanism on the conveyance path line and removed from the winding shaft, and winding is performed. Adhesive is applied to the core tube set on the take-up shaft to be wound next to the take-up shaft by the adhesive application mechanism, and the cutting is performed on each conveyance pass line at the time of outer winding and inner winding. By adopting a configuration in which the cutting mechanism and the adhesive application mechanism are reversed so that the mechanism is positioned at the cutting position, the adhesive application mechanism applies the adhesive to the core tube set on the winding shaft that performs the next winding. In addition, since the cutting mechanism and the adhesive application mechanism are reversed according to the change of the conveyance path line at the time of the outer winding and the inner winding, the time for the work for the next roll preparation when the small winding roll is used Made as shortened as possible In which it is possible to improve the efficiency.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a partial configuration diagram of an RFID label roll automatic winding device according to the present invention. FIG. 1A shows a continuous RFID label that is wound up as a small roll. The RFID label 12 is temporarily attached to a continuous mount 12A at regular intervals, for example. In the present invention, the case where the RFID label 12 is positioned on the outer side (on the surface) and wound as a small roll is referred to as outer winding, and the case where the RFID label 12 is positioned on the inner side and wound is referred to as inner winding. Called.

  1B and 1C show an automatic winding device 21 when the RFID label 12 is externally wound. The automatic winding device 21 includes a reversing mechanism 22, a rotary winding mechanism 23, and three rollers 24 to 26 here. The continuous RFID label 11 on which the RFID label 12 is temporarily attached on the mount 12A is supplied from the original RFID label roll (13) shown in FIG. 2, which will be described later. The lower part of the roller 26 is passed from the upper part of the roller 26 and hung on the take-up shaft 42 positioned at the upper part of the rotary take-up mechanism 23 to form a transport pass line.

  In the reversing mechanism 22, a motor 32 is provided on a support plate 31, a rotation base 33 is provided on the opposite side of the support plate 31, and a blade arm 34 and a gluing arm 37 are opposed to the rotation base 33. Provided on one side of the transport path line. A blade 36 is provided on the blade cylinder 35 and its rod so as to be positioned at the tip of the blade arm 34 and on the transport path line.

  That is, the blade 36 is positioned above the conveyance path line to the winding shaft 42 of the rotary winding mechanism 23, and the blade 36 is protruded to the conveyance path line side by the operation of the blade cylinder 35, whereby the continuous RFID is formed. The mount 12A of the label 11 is cut. The blade cylinder 35 and the blade 36 constitute a cutting mechanism.

  On the other hand, a gluing roll 39 is provided on the gluing cylinder 38 and its rod so as to be positioned at the tip of the gluing arm 37 and below the transport path line. That is, the winding shaft that is arranged on the track of the next winding shaft when the first winding is finished on the rotary winding mechanism 23 and rotates to become the next winding shaft 43 and rotates. Gluing is performed on the core tube 51 by protruding toward the core tube 51 set above. This glue cylinder 38 and glue roll 39 constitute an adhesive application mechanism.

  In order to position the blade 36 on the conveyance path line side when the roll wound on the winding rotation mechanism 23 described later is externally wound (in this case, the gluing roll 39 is below the conveyance path line) The blade cylinder 35 (blade 36) and the gluing cylinder 38 (gluing cylinder 39) are reversed by rotation control of the motor 32 (described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5).

  In the rotary winding mechanism 23, for example, four winding shafts 42 to 45 are rotatably provided at equal intervals on the circumferential side on the winding rotary plate 41. The winding rotary plate 41 is a motor (not shown). The winding shafts 42 to 45 are rotated to the position along the transport path line when one winding is completed.

  The winding shafts 42 to 45 are also rotationally controlled according to the conveying speed by a predetermined number of motors (not shown). The winding shafts 42 to 45 are removed from the winding shaft when the winding is completed as one small roll by an operator, and a new core tube 51 is set.

  Here, FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram for producing a small roll from an RFID label roll. In FIG. 2, the continuous RFID label 11 supplied to the automatic winding device 21 in the present invention is, for example, in an externally wound state, and is supplied from an RFID label roll 13 set in the main supply unit. The origin refers to the portion of the supply position that is set first when the automatic winding device 21 of the present invention is inlined into the line for inspection of RFID labels, replacement of non-defective products, and verification.

  The RFID label roll 13 is, for example, a roll of 300 mmΦ (approximately 3300 RFID labels), which is removed from the small roll 14 of 150 mmΦ (approximately 500 RFID labels) by the automatic winding device 21 of the present invention. Prepare by winding.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the automatic winding shown in FIG. First, in the state shown in FIG. 1B, the continuous RFID label 11 is wound around the winding shaft 42 of the winding rotary plate 41 by external winding, and the core tube 51 is set on the winding shaft 43. It is assumed that the adhesive is applied to the core tube 51 by the gluing roll 39. Further, the core tubes 51 are set on the other winding shafts 44 and 45, respectively.

  In such winding, as shown in FIG. 3A, the small winding roll 14 whose roll amount (number of RFID labels 12) is, for example, 150 mmΦ (500 RFID labels) on the winding shaft 42 as shown in FIG. Is wound, the blade cylinder 35 is actuated, and the blade 36 is projected onto the continuous mount 12A (where there is nothing between the RFID labels) of the conveyance path line and cut. One of the cut small rolls 14 side is wound around the winding shaft 42 as it is rotated, and the other is bonded to the core tube 51 of the winding shaft 43 located on the roll 26 side by the applied adhesive. Wrap around.

  Then, the winding rotary plate 41 rotates 45 degrees clockwise, whereby the winding shaft 43 is rotated to the position of the winding shaft 42. In the middle of this rotation, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), the gluing cylinder 38 is operated with respect to the core tube 51 set on the winding shaft 44 so that the gluing roll 39 protrudes toward the core tube 51 side. By doing so, an adhesive is applied to the core tube 51.

  Therefore, when the continuous RFID label 11 is being wound on the winding shaft 43, the small winding roll 14 produced by the operator is removed from the winding shaft 42, and a new core tube 51 is taken up. It is set on the shaft 42. That is, simply removing the small roll 14 from the winding shaft 42 and newly setting the core tube 51 does not require applying an adhesive to the core tube 51 or peeling the release paper as before. For this reason, it is possible to work with sufficient margin while the small roll 14 is being produced by the next winding shaft 43. It is sufficient that the new core tube 51 is set before the winding shaft 42 starts the next winding.

  Next, FIG. 4 shows a configuration explanatory diagram of the change state from the outer winding to the inner winding in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 shows an explanatory diagram of the change operation from the outer winding to the inner winding in FIG. 4 (A) and 4 (B) show a case where the small winding roll 14 is an inner winding with the RFID label 12 positioned inside as shown in FIG. 4 (C).

  4 (A) and 4 (B), when producing the inner winding small roll 14, a continuous RFID in which an operator changes the conveyance path line and the RFID label 12 is temporarily attached on the mount 12A. The label 11 passes through the upper part of the roller 26 from the roller 24 without passing through the roller 25 and is hung on the take-up shaft 44 positioned at the lower part of the rotary take-up mechanism 23 to form a transport pass line.

  That is, first, from the state of FIG. 5 (A) shown in FIG. 1 (C), by rotating the motor 32 and rotating the rotation base 33 in the clockwise direction, the blade cylinder 35 and the blade 36 cutting mechanism. Then, the adhesive application mechanism is rotated 180 degrees by the gluing cylinder 38 and the gluing roll 39.

  FIG. 5B shows a state in the middle of rotation (rotation by 45 degrees). The blade arm 34 and the glue are used until the inner winding state shown in FIG. 5C (FIG. 4B) is rotated. The arm 37 avoids contact with the continuous RFID label 11 on the transport path line. As shown in FIG. 1C, the blade arm 34 and the gluing arm 37 are arranged on the side of the conveyance path line, and the blade arm 34 and the gluing arm 37 are disposed at the tips of the blade. This is realized by providing the cylinder 35 and the blade 36 so as to be positioned above the conveyance path line, and providing the gluing cylinder 38 and the gluing roll 39 so as to be positioned below the conveyance path line.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5 (C), the operator changes the conveyance path line to make the inner winding state. The basic process for sequentially producing the small rolls 14 by the inner winding is the same as in FIG. 3, but the rotary winding mechanism 23 at this time is controlled to rotate counterclockwise.

  By the way, in the above embodiment, the case where the gluing to the core tube 51 by the gluing roll 39 is performed while the rotary winding mechanism 23 is rotating is shown. Gluing may be performed by operating the gluing cylinder 38 and protruding the gluing roll 39 with respect to the core tube 51 set in 43. For this purpose, the gluing cylinder 38 is attached to the gluing arm 37. The position, size, and stroke length of the rod may be set.

  In this way, in both the outer winding and the inner winding, the adhesive roll 39 of the adhesive application mechanism applies the adhesive to the core tube 51 set on the winding shaft that performs the next winding, Since the cutting mechanism and the adhesive coating mechanism are reversed in accordance with the change of the conveyance path line at the time of winding and inner winding, it is possible to shorten the time for work for the next roll preparation when the small winding roll 14 is used. As a result, the manufacturing efficiency can be improved.

  The RFID label roll automatic winding device of the present invention can be used in an industrial field in which automatic winding is performed from a continuous RFID label roll as a small roll.
