Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION l) 1.Object of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a label manufacturing machine for manufacturing labels, seals, stickers, etc.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a label manufacturing machine supplies label base paper pasted with a label original to a printing unit from a paper feed unit equipped with an automatic feeding device, and then prints and stamps the label original. In some cases, after printing on the original, the paper is fed to the Gui-cut section, the Gui-cut section cuts out a die according to the label shape, and then the waste part and label part are pasted together in the waste removal part. The base paper was separated into base paper, the waste portion was fed to the waste winding unit, and the label base paper with the printed label manuscript pasted was fed to the sheet cutting unit, where sheets were cut into a predetermined number of sheets (for example, Matsuo Takada Edited.

)reference).

In addition, there are various shapes of labels such as triangle, square, rectangle, trapezoid, round, oval, donut shape, etc.
Moreover, they vary in size. Among these, rectangular ones such as squares and rectangles are often used, and computer labels, etc.
In particular, rectangular shapes are often used.

Therefore, when printing labels, it was necessary to change the cutting die depending on the shape and size of the label. Changing the cutting die is complicated, especially in the case of small-lot production, and has the problem of significantly impeding work efficiency.

In addition, cutting dies are manufactured each time using a Thomson blade, etc., depending on the shape and size of the label, so printing cannot begin until the cutting dies are completed, and furthermore, if a cutting die is damaged during printing, it will take until a new cutting die is made. However, there was a problem in that printing had to be interrupted. In particular, in the case of a label with a complicated shape, there is a problem in that the complicated shape requires processing, which takes a long time to manufacture, and the label is easily damaged due to its structure.

On the other hand, after printing, the removed blades are no longer needed and must be stored in a cutting blade storage until reordered, which creates the problem that removed blades accumulate with each printing, requiring a large capacity cutting blade storage. there were.

Furthermore, with computer labels, holes for feeding the label original must be placed in symmetrical positions on both sides of the label base paper, but when the adhesive on the back of the label original is punching the label base paper, the perforations are The glue that adheres to the needle may cause the hole diameter to collapse, or the glue may remain on the label original or backing paper, and when the label is wound up on the winder, it may adhere to other label originals or the backing paper. This has the problem of product loss and loss of product value. Conventionally, it was necessary to interrupt label printing many times and wipe off the glue around the punching needle, resulting in production delays. There was a problem that efficiency was reduced.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention has been made from the above-mentioned viewpoint, and its purpose is to improve the flow of label originals when manufacturing rectangular labels of various shapes and sizes. By making cuts and perforations at predetermined positions such as both ends along the direction at the cut section, removing scraps at the waste removal section, and making cuts that intersect with the previous cuts and perforations at the die cut section, Even if the shape and size of the label changes, there is no need to change the cutting blade at the die-cutting section each time, just by adjusting the cutting blade to the feed pitch of the label base paper and the predetermined position at the cutting section. To greatly improve work efficiency by easily and continuously manufacturing a single label or, if necessary, a plurality of labels in one pitch with a small number of man-hours. In addition, there is no need to prepare various cutting blades depending on the shape and size of the label as in the past, and therefore, there is no need for a large-capacity cutting blade storage as in the past, allowing for effective use of factory space. The aim is to significantly improve production efficiency and economic efficiency. In addition, during computer label manufacturing, the part of the label original coated with laminating glue that forms the perforation part of the label base paper is removed as waste, so there is no need to wipe off the glue around the perforation needle, which reduces the work involved. The objective is to significantly increase efficiency and to increase the production efficiency of computerized labels that have high commercial value without product loss.

2) 1 Structure of the Invention [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the label manufacturing machine of the present invention has the following features: A pressure roller, and a label original or label base paper is placed on the pressure roller at a predetermined position along its length,
It is equipped with a cutting section consisting of a cutter bar with one or more cutting blades attached to the shaft for making cuts or perforations, and
The cutting section is provided between the paper feeding section and the printing section, and a waste winding section is provided downstream of the cutting section for winding up the cut waste. A long die-cutting blade is vertically attached to the upper mold of the die-cutting part where the mold etc. moves up and down, or a replaceable cutting blade of a predetermined length is locked to the cutting blade holding part of the upper mold. The cutting blade receiving plate has a structure in which a cutting blade receiving plate having a predetermined size of cutting blade receiving plate is held. Further, (2), unlike the above (2), the above-mentioned cutting section and scrap winding section are arranged between the die cut section and the sheet cut section.

[Operation] The cutting blade of the cutting section makes one or more cuts, perforations, etc. in the running direction of the label base paper, and the die-cutting section makes cuts that intersect with the running direction of the label document according to the pitch of the label. By inserting the cutting die into the cutting die, a wide variety of rectangular labels such as squares, rectangles, and parallelograms can be easily and continuously manufactured without changing cutting dies.

[Example] Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings. However, the configuration of the present invention is not limited to this.

In Figure 1, (1) unwinds the label base paper (5) from the roll (111) of the label base paper (5) and feeds it to the printing section (2) using the feed rolls (112, 112'). The paper feeding unit (11) feeds the pressure roller (6), cut (7), perforation (8), etc. into the label document (3) or label base paper (5) along the flow direction of the label base paper. Cutting blade (9)
and a cutter bar (10) on which the cutting blade (9) is pivoted.
), (2) is a printing section that prints on a flat plate or semi-rotary press, (24) is a laminating section that laminates to protect the surface of the label provided as necessary, and (14) is a , an upper mold (1) with a vertically disposed punching blade (16) that moves up and down intermittently according to the feed pitch of the label base paper.
5) and a lower mold (17) to which a cutting blade holder (18) is fixed. (23) is a sheet cutting part that cuts the label document into a predetermined number of sheets according to the product specifications. has been done.

FIG. 2 shows a perspective view showing the operating state of the cutting section (11) of the present invention. As the cutting blade (9) in the cutting part (11), various types such as a commercially available razor blade, cutter blade, round blade, or a perforated blade with a round blade having an uneven circumference can be used.

The pressure roller (6) may be cylindrical as long as it has a smooth circumferential surface, and may be made of metal, rubber, etc. as long as it is rotatable.

A holding member (10') that clamps and locks the cutting blade (9) is rotatably attached to the cutter bar (10). Adjustment during operation of the cutting section (11) is performed by arranging the required number of cutting blades (9) at predetermined positions according to the shape and size of the label.
At the same time, adjust the depth of the cut, etc., and then insert the holding member (
10') to the cutter bar (10) with screws or the like. Figure 3 shows the cut (7) on the label original (3) and the mount (4) when processed under the conditions shown in Figure 2.
) shows an example of a perforation (8) extending all the way through.

When printing a large number of labels at the same pitch, creating perforations that extend through the backing paper between the multiple labels will prevent the label base paper from shaking during printing, increasing work efficiency.

Note that FIG. 3 shows a case where two labels are printed at the same pitch. In this case, before entering the sheet cutting section (23), each label may be cut out along the perforations (8) and then sheet-cut, or it may be rolled without going through the sheet cutting section. . The label paper having the cuts and the like is then removed from the scrap portion (12) by the scrap removal section (13), and sent to the next printing section (2) for printing. Note that the scrap removal section (13) may be provided after the printing section depending on the product content. Figure 4 shows label base paper (5
) in the center of the perforation (8) and both sides of the perforation (8) and the base paper (8).
), a cut (7) is made in the center of the label base paper (5), and a cut (7) is made in the center of the label base paper (5), as shown in Figure 5.
8) is a perspective view of the sheet label with scraps removed from both sides. When used as a computer label, holes are punched with a perforator in the areas on both sides of the label base paper (5) from which glued residue has been removed, and the label base paper is printed. Next, in Figure 6, the die cut part (
14) will be explained. In the die-cutting part (14), a punching blade (16) is provided on the upper mold (15) so as to intersect with the flow direction of the label base paper (5), and a punching blade of a predetermined size is provided on the lower mold (17). A bone (18) is provided and configured. By intermittently moving up and down the upper die (15), cuts (24) are made in the label document (3). For the removal blade (16), use a long one! ! ! (15) is installed vertically or otherwise fixedly.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 7, a short cutting blade (2o) and other cutting blades, such as a medium cutting blade (21), are fixed by planting on the cutting blade holding member (19) at each feed pitch. Multiple labels may be provided depending on the number of label documents. By simply combining the upper die shown in Fig. 7 and the lower die shown in Fig. 8, the hollow die shown in Fig. 9 (2
5) Labels can also be easily produced.

Further, the same effect can be obtained even if the front and rear of the extraction blades (20) and (21) are changed. Furthermore, depending on the label, the upper and lower molds may be used interchangeably. Further, depending on the shape of the label, a large die-cut roll may be provided with cutting edges (20) and (21) at each feeding pitch. Conventionally, each cutting die was manufactured by separately implanting a Thomson blade or the like into a resin plate according to the shape and size of the label, and the upper die, It was used by fixing it to the lower mold. At this time, it required considerable skill to accurately fix the cutting die to the upper die at a predetermined position.

This is because if the position of the cutting die is incorrect, cuts may occur in the printed area, resulting in a product with no commercial value. or,
If a part of the cutting die were chipped, a new die had to be made, and work had to be interrupted during that time. The present invention
Since it only requires one long cutting blade or a short cutting blade that has been processed into a cutting die, it is extremely easy to correct and fix the upper die.
Even if a part is missing, since it is a straight line, it can be easily replaced with an existing one.

In addition, since the cutting blade is divided into parts even for labels with complicated shapes, manufacturing and repair can be performed quickly and easily since the cutting blade is not complexly machined on one cutting die as in the past. As the cutting edge (18), lower paperboard or the like is used depending on the size and shape of the label document. The blade removal bone (18) is the removal blade receiving plate (
22) or directly to the lower mold (18). Furthermore, complex label shapes can be easily handled by arranging the punching blades and punching bones of each shape in pairs on the upper mold and the lower mold, respectively, for each feed pitch.

In addition, if a perforation-like so-called surface crack is required, use the cutting blade 1.
6, 20, 21. This can be easily obtained by replacing the blade with a convex-concave blade. Here, the cutting part (11) and the waste removal part (1
3) is installed between the paper feed section (1) and the printing section (2), but depending on the printer, the printing section (2)
) and the die cut part (14), or between the die cut part (14) and the sheet cut part (23), the object of the present invention can also be achieved.

) 0 Effects of the Invention By using the label manufacturing machine with the above configuration, it is possible to manufacture labels according to various shapes (elongated rectangles, squares, parallelograms such as rhombuses, etc.) and sizes, as in the past. There is no need to manufacture separate cutting dies, and by simply preparing the cutting blade (9) and punching blade (16) as shown in the schematic diagram in Figure 1O, and placing them in the predetermined positions, a wide variety of rectangular labels and stickers can be manufactured. , stickers, etc. can be easily manufactured.
