Description

  The present invention relates to a label affixing device that affixes a label to an object, and more particularly to a label affixing device including an affixing unit that holds and holds a mountless label paper.

  The label without the mount cut and issued from the label issuing port is moved downstream from the label issuing port by the moving mechanism provided in the applying unit, and the label moved by the moving mechanism is sucked and held by the applying unit, There is a sticking device for sticking a sucked and held label to an object (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  However, in the label affixing device described in Patent Document 1, the label is horizontally moved from the vicinity of the label issuing port to the affixing unit on the downstream side by the moving mechanism provided in the affixing unit. Done. Then, when the pasting operation is finished, the sticking unit rises and returns to the initial position, and then the moving mechanism is moved to the vicinity of the label issuing port in order to receive the next label.

  However, since the moving mechanism for moving the label issued from the label issuing port to the pasting portion from the label issuing port is provided integrally with the pasting portion, the issued label is moved onto the pasting portion. After that, following the pasting operation of the pasting part, it moves together. Therefore, the moving mechanism cannot move to the vicinity of the label issuing port in order to receive the next label to be issued unless the sticking unit finishes the sticking operation and returns to the initial position. That is, since the movement of the moving mechanism for moving the issued label onto the sticking portion is always accompanied by the movement of the sticking portion, the efficiency of label sticking is poor and an increase in efficiency is required.

Japanese Patent No. 3763486

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a label application device that can efficiently mechanically attach a label issued from a label issuing unit to an object. .

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the label sticking device of the present invention is a label sticking device for sticking a sheet-like label issued from a label issuing part to an object by a sticking part having an adsorption function. Near the downstream side of the issuing unit, a label moving unit is arranged that sucks and holds the label issued from the label issuing unit and transfers it to the pasting unit that waits at a position where the label is delivered. The issuing port, the suction part of the label moving part and the suction part of the sticking part are arranged on substantially the same plane, and a plurality of suction parts of the sticking part are arranged along the label issuing direction, and the label moving part Is disposed at a position facing the array of the adhering portions of the plurality of the adhering portions arranged, and the label moving portion delivers the label to the adhering portion and then an initial position in the vicinity of the label issuing portion. Return to And performing movement.

  The label moving unit is located near the rear side (near the cutting edge) opposite to the direction in which the sheet-like label is cut and issued from the label issuing unit, from the inside of the label issuing port to the outside of the label issuing port (front of the label issuing direction). From the initial position (position where the issued label is sucked and held) to the position where the rear part of the label is pulled out of the label issuing port. A moving mechanism for moving is provided.

The adsorbing part only needs to have an adsorbing force so that the label to be adsorbed and held is not separated or displaced during the movement of the adsorbing part. Absent. For example, a form provided with two nozzles for sucking and holding the label can be mentioned.
Examples of the moving mechanism that moves the suction portion include a pneumatic moving mechanism such as an air actuator (air cylinder), an electromagnetic solenoid, and the like.

  The sticking unit for sticking the label moved to a predetermined position by the label moving unit to the target object sucks and holds the label and presses the label to the target object, and moves the label pressing member up and down. A moving mechanism is provided.

  The suction of the suction part in the label moving part is turned off in conjunction with the suction on operation of the sticking part. Specifically, after the suction part of the label moving part sucks and holds the label and moves to the label delivery position, the suction part of the label moving part is turned off when moving back to the vicinity of the label issuing part. It is controlled as follows.

According to the above means, the sheet-like label cut and issued from the label issuing unit is located in the label issuing port at the rear side (near the cutting edge) opposite to the issuing direction, but downstream of the label issuing unit. The printing surface of the label is sucked and held by suction of the suction part of the label moving part arranged in the vicinity, and moved to the delivery position to the sticking part arranged on the downstream side by the movement of the label moving part. Then, after the label is delivered to the affixing part by the adhering-on of the adhering part (the state where the label is attached to the affixing part by adsorbing), the label moving part turns off the adsorption of the adsorbing part (releases the adsorption) and It moves to the initial position in the vicinity of the issue port, and waits for suction holding of the next issued label.
Accordingly, the label moving unit that sucks and holds the issued label and delivers it to the pasting unit moves and returns to the initial position after delivering the label to the pasting unit, so that the label is efficiently delivered to the pasting unit. be able to.
Further, when the label moving unit moves to the delivery position for delivering the label to the pasting unit and then returns to the vicinity of the label issuing unit, the label moving unit is controlled so that the adsorption unit of the label moving unit is sucked off. When the part is moved back to the vicinity of the label issuing part, the label passed to the sticking part is moved by being dragged by the movement of the label moving part, and the label position and orientation in the label sticking part are not shifted. Stable labeling can be performed.

  The label sticking device of the present invention moves the label to be issued after returning to the initial position after the label moving part delivering the label cut and issued from the label issuing part to the sticking part. Wait to do. Therefore, it is possible to provide a label sticking device that can efficiently deliver a label to the sticking part and enables efficient label sticking.

The state moved to the part side is shown. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional plan view of FIG. The block diagram which shows the electric constitution of the apparatus. The flowchart figure which shows the flow of label sticking operation | movement.

Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of a label sticking device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an external view of a label sticking apparatus. A support column 2 is erected on a side portion of a transport table 1 ′ having a conveyor 1 for transporting a product a (a label application object), and the support column 2 is interposed via a bracket. A label sticking device A is disposed alongside the label issuing device B and is disposed above the conveyor 1, and a display operation unit 3 is disposed above the support column 2.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the label issuing device B is provided with a roll loading unit 5 in the case 4, and at a front position in the feeding direction of the label paper 6 ′ of the mountless label roll 6 set in the roll loading unit 5. The label sheet 6 'is sent out by a sending means 7, a printing unit 8, and a cutting means 9 for cutting the printed label sheet 6 "into a predetermined length. A label holding face plate that temporarily holds the label L is provided in the label sticking apparatus A provided therewith.

In addition, in the movement path of the label paper 6 ′ from the mountless label roll 6 set in the roll loading section 5 to the printing section 8, it is in contact with the label paper 6 ′ and elastically swings in the forward and reverse directions. A pressing member 10 is disposed. A mountless label roll 6 is rotatably supported by the roll loading unit 5. An adhesive layer is formed in advance on the back surface (the surface opposite to the printing surface) of the label paper 6 ', and the label paper 6' fed out can be pasted on the product a by being cut by the cutting means 9. A single sheet-like label is generated.
Further, since the pressing member 10 moves the label paper while accumulating force on the pressing member in the forward direction in which the label paper is fed out, when the label paper is pulled out from the mountless label roll, it is more than necessary. It is possible to prevent force from being applied to the printing unit.

  The feeding means 7 for pulling out the label paper 6 ′ from the mountless label roll 6 set in the roll loading unit 5 is a downstream composed of a pair of upper and lower rollers arranged in the vicinity of the upstream side of the label delivery port 11 established on the peripheral wall of the case 4. The sheet feeding means 7b on the side and the sheet feeding means 7a on the upstream side that also serves as the printing unit 8 arranged at a predetermined interval upstream of the sheet feeding means 7b.

  The upstream sheet delivery means 7a that also serves as the printing unit 8 includes a platen roller 8a positioned below (adhesive layer side) the label sheet 6 'and a thermal head positioned above (printing surface side) the label sheet 6'. 8b, and the platen roller 8a and the lower roller in the downstream sheet feeding means 7b are driven and rotated by a motor. The thermal head 8b located above the label paper 6 'and the upper roller in the downstream paper feeding means 7b are respectively connected to the lower side of the label paper 6' (lower roller and platen roller in the paper feeding means 7b). 8a) and is biased downward so as to be attached, whereby the label paper 6 'can be stably fed out.

  The thermal head 8b of the printing unit 8 attaches a label sheet 6 'to the platen roller 8a and prints on the label sheet. When no printing is performed for a certain period of time after printing, The head up-and-down moving solenoid valve 34 is operated, and an air cylinder (not shown) is operated so that the thermal head 8b is separated from the platen roller 8a. This prevents the adhesive layer of the label paper 6 'from being pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the platen roller 8a for a long time, and prevents the label paper 6' from being wound by the rotation of the platen roller 8a.

Product information is printed by the printing unit 8, and the cutting means 9 that cuts the label paper 6 ′ sent to the label delivery port 11 into a sheet having a predetermined length is sent horizontally from the label delivery port 11. And a pair of upper and lower movable blades 9a and a fixed blade 9b arranged so as to sandwich the label paper 6 '. The movable blade 9a and the fixed blade 9b are accommodated in a case 9c and are located downstream of the label delivery port 11. The placement is fixed. The movable blade 9a advances and retreats toward the fixed blade 9b, whereby the label paper 6 'is cut by a shearing action. The leading edge of the label sheet 6 ′ cut by the cutting means 9 and connected to the mountless label roll 6 is back-fed to a position slightly protruding from the thermal head 8b upon receiving an instruction to issue the next label. Thereby, at the time of the next printing, it is possible to print from the substantially leading end position of the label paper 6 ′. The case 9c is provided with an issuing port 35 for the printed label L to be cut and sent.

As a result, the stopper 21 comes into contact with and engages with the upper surface of the support member 16, and the label pressing member 17 is supported in a suspended state from the support member 16. The stopper 21 serves as a weight for increasing the weight of the label pressing member 17 in addition to serving as a stopper for hanging the label pressing member 17 on the support member 16 and suspending it. The support member 16 is lowered together with the downward movement by the operation.

A tip end member 17b made of an elastic member whose tip is expanded in a funnel shape is connected and attached to the lower end portion of the pipe shaft 17a in the label crimping member 17.
When the label pressing member 17 is lowered, the front end member 17b presses the label L, which is the lower surface of the leading end member 17b, while adsorbing and holding the printed label L horizontally, and is sent to the lower side of the label sticking apparatus A by the conveyor. Press up.
Further, the length of the label crimping member 17 is a through-hole formed in the label holding face plate 12 ′ at the tip of the label crimping member 17 (tip of the tip member 17b) when the piston rod 15 ′ of the air cylinder 15 is at the origin position. 19 and is set to a length that is substantially flush with the lower surface of the label holding face plate 12 '.

  The label holding face plate 12 ′ is a flat plate, and a plurality of (three in the illustrated example) through-holes 19 through which the label pressing member 17 penetrates are formed. The size of the through hole 19 is such that a gap exists between the outer peripheral surface of the tip end member 17b of the label crimping member 17, and the exhaust device 18 is formed in the through hole 19 portion of the label holding face plate 12 'by the gap. A suction force is generated by the exhausting action, and the print label L issued along the lower surface of the label holding face plate 12 'is sucked and held. The through hole 19 is not limited to the three substantially rectangular holes shown in the figure, and an independent hole may be provided for each label pressing member 17.

  Further, out of a total of six label pressing members 17 that are suspended and supported with respect to the support member 16 so as to be movable up and down, a label pressing member 17-1 located near the label issuing port 35 of the label issuing device B (see FIG. 5 is provided with an adsorbing means for adsorbing the print label L with negative air pressure.

(ST10) ... It is determined whether or not the next label sheet is issued. If there is a next label sheet issued (YES), the process returns to ST1 and the above operation is repeated, and the next label sheet is not issued (NO). Ends the pasting operation. When the next label sheet is issued, the label moving unit 14 that has returned to the initial position before the labeling of the pasting unit 13 adsorbs and holds the next printed label L to the initial position. Preparation for movement to a delivery position downstream from the position is made. When it is confirmed that the affixing portion 13 is raised above the lower surface of the label holding face plate 12 ′, the label moving portion 14 can be moved to the delivery position.

  The label sticking apparatus of the illustrated embodiment is configured such that a sheet-like label paper that is cut and issued from a label paper is sucked and held by a movable label moving part and is delivered to the sticking part (of a printed label that has been issued). After the rear part moves to the position where the cutting means is pulled out and the sticking part sucks and holds the printed label, the label moving part completes the label sticking operation of the sticking part (the sticking part returns to the initial position). Without waiting for return, the suction unit is turned off to return to the initial position near the label issuing port, the next printed label is sucked and held, and ready to move to the downstream delivery position. Do. As a result, the label moving unit moves to the delivery position as soon as the pasting unit completes label pasting and returns to the initial position, so that the label pasting processing speed can be improved as compared with the conventional apparatus.
