Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect correctly and easily a damaged part on a tape-like member by comparing output signals from sensors set at identical positions in the width direction of the tape-like member and judging that the part detected is a defective part only when the output signals differ from each other. CONSTITUTION:An output signal from each photo transistor 1a of one light detection unit 5 is combined with an output signal from each photo transistor 1a of the other light detection unit 5, the light detection units 5 being opposed to each other at identical positions in the width direction of an ink ribbon R, and the combinations of the output signals from the corresponding photo transistors are simultaneously turned on/off in sequence on the bases of an output from a control circuit 6. The combination of these output signals is compared by an Ex-OR circuit 7 functioning as a comparing means. In the case where both output signals are identical, a discrimination circuit 8 judges, based on the compared result, that there exists no hole part B on the ink ribbon or that it is a result detected by the phototransistors 1a opposed to each other at a position deviated from the width of the ink ribbon R. In the case where both output signals differ from each other, it is judged that there exists the holed part B, and the switch 4a of the electric motor 4 is turned off.

However, in the above-mentioned ink ribbon damage detection device, since multiple sensors are arranged in parallel within the width of one type of ink ribbon, it is difficult to detect ink ribbons of other types between the ink ribbons than the ink ribbons that are planned to be used. When attempting to detect the presence or absence of damage to the ink ribbon, the light receiving section of the sensor that is outside the width of the interposed ink ribbon constantly detects the irradiation light from the light emitting section paired with it.

As a result, among the output signals of the light receiving sections located outside the width of the ink ribbon and the output signals of the light receiving sections located within the width of the ink ribbon,
Since the output signal of the light receiving unit that detects the transmitted light from the damaged part of the ink ribbon is the same, the detection circuit cannot distinguish between the two, and this detection circuit outputs the same signal as when the damage was detected. This will continue to be the case. Therefore, there is a problem in that the ink ribbon can only be used with one type of width that is planned to be used.

In order to overcome this drawback, it is conceivable to change the detection area using the photoreceptor according to the width of the ink ribbon. so as not to be detected,
It is necessary to block the irradiation light from the paired light emitting section, or to change the mounting pitch of the plurality of pairs of light emitting sections and light receiving sections while maintaining them in a predetermined correspondence relationship. In either case, a new problem arises that requires a lot of effort to change the detection area.

The characteristic configuration of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object is that, in the above-mentioned defect detection device for a tape-like object, a plurality of information reading sections each having a plurality of sensors arranged in parallel in the width direction of the tape as a set are provided. The sets are arranged in parallel at intervals in the transport direction of the tape-like body, and among the sensors of each information reading section, the output signals of the sensors installed at the same position in the width direction of the tape-like body are mutually transmitted. Comparing means for making a comparison, and determining means for determining that a detection target location on the tape-like body is a defective location only when the output signals of the sensors at the same position are different as a result of the comparison by the comparing means. This configuration has the following effects.

When detecting a defective part of a tape-like object while transporting the tape-like object, a problem is detected in the detection target part of the tape-like object corresponding to each sensor of multiple sets of information reading sections arranged in parallel in the tape-like object's transport direction. If there is no such location, the output signals of the sensors arranged at the same position in the tape width direction will be the same.

In addition, when a position corresponding to either the defective part of the tape-like object or the sensor of the information reading section on the upper side in the transport direction is reached, the output signal of the sensor at this position and the information on the lower side in the transport direction are added. Output signals of the sensors of the reading section disposed at the same position in the tape width direction are different.

Furthermore, in the case of a narrow tape-like object, some of the sensors in each information reading section will be located outside the width of the tape-like object, but even in this case, they are arranged at the same position in the tape width direction. The output signals of the sensors will be the same.

Therefore, in the comparison means and the discrimination means, the output signals of the light receiving parts arranged at the same position in the width direction of the tape-like body among the sensors of each of the information reading parts are compared with each other, and whether they are the same or the same is determined. It is possible to determine whether there is a defective part in the tape-like body by whether or not the tape-like body has a defective part.

Therefore, by comparing the output signals of sensors arranged at the same position in the width direction of the tape-like body, it is possible to detect the true defective location regardless of the width of the tape-like body. Therefore, the complicated operation of changing and setting the detection area of the sensor one by one according to the width of the tape-like object, as in the past, is no longer necessary, and the presence or absence of a defective part of the tape-like object can be accurately and easily detected. I was able to do it.

In particular, when the reading area of the information reading unit in the tape width direction is configured to be wider than the tape width of the tape-shaped body, even if the transport height position of the tape-shaped body differs depending on the tape-shaped body, Faulty locations can be detected without any problems.
