Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a material or a product on which a so-called identification bar (article) code is engraved, which is used to display information such as the origin and area of the product as an identification bar (article) code.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, wood, fibers, stones, glass, metals, synthetic resin materials, ceramics, etc. have typically been used as materials for products, and these materials have been commercialized. In order to indicate the manufacturer in these products, the manufacturer's own trade name, trademark, etc. are printed on a sticker, which is affixed to the product, or stamped on the plate by press processing, and this product is Attached to or engraved directly on the material. In this way, trade names, trademarks, etc. are applied using a printing machine, a mold, or a mold. In the recent printing technology, a so-called etching process is widely used in which a printing ink is a chemical liquid that dissolves a resin or a metal and a desired character or design can be delicately applied to the product.

Further, the present invention may be an etching process by the above-mentioned printing, but particularly uses a laser device. The latter outlines a so-called laser device in the context of engraving identification bar codes on various materials or products while operating the laser device by making full use of data from a computer. Gas (CO ₂ ) is mainly used for laser equipment.
In addition to laser devices, there are yag laser devices, UV laser devices, excimer laser devices, and the like. In addition, it is effective to use a laser for processing when it is used in a narrow position because it has a high degree of focusing. In other words, since the energy can be concentrated on the spot, an extremely high temperature can be generated locally, and it can be used, for example, for fine hole drilling or welding.

There is a ruby laser in a solid-state laser processing machine. Reflecting mirrors are placed on opposite ends of a ruby crystal so that one reflecting mirror reflects completely and the other reflecting mirror partially reflects light. Can be transmitted through a mask. At this time, the Xe discharge tube excites the chromium electrons in the ruby crystal, and the generated light reciprocates between the two reflecting mirrors and causes a feedback action between the reciprocations, so that automatic emission occurs. In the method of emitting light from a reflector, stimulated emission occurs before enough energy is stored in the resonator.

Since the amount of energy is small and the pulse cannot be lengthened, it is possible to instantly store enough energy.
In other words, in order to release energy as a giant pulse at once, a rotating prism between the ruby and the reflecting mirror,
A so-called Q-switch method in which a saturable dye or the like is placed so that resonance occurs at a predetermined position can be used.

When a laser beam is applied to a material or a product, a desired concave groove is formed by the photoheat of the beam. Also, when moving the tip of the laser beam in the desired direction,
It uses a glass (not shown) that is installed in the laser device and can move back and forth and left and right. For example, a laser device (not shown) having a medium laser wavelength is used. This is a method of applying a laser beam and operating a glass (not shown) that moves forward, backward, leftward and rightward, and continuously moves the point light at the tip of the laser beam according to the identification data.

[0007]

When printing a trade name or a trademark on the surface of various materials or products, the adhesiveness of printing is poor depending on the material other than paper. Although the surface is subjected to a special process of applying varnish, for example, there is a drawback that the cost is high due to the large-scale equipment. Further, in the case of press working, there is a drawback that the cost of the die and the mold and the equipment cost for the marking become high. Moreover, since the mold is likely to be worn during long-term use, there is a drawback that the engraved machining line becomes unclear.

Further, when the product is extremely small or the position of the marking is narrow, there is a drawback that the trade name and the trademark cannot be processed. Further, the processed products of the trademark or trade name are thin parts such as needles, or are thin pipes as well as thin pipes, and depending on small and concave or convex products, there is a drawback that pressing cannot be performed. There is also a drawback that small or thin parts cannot be marked with a stamped plate. In addition, there is a drawback that it takes time to attach or detach the mold and the mold. Further, printing plates, dies, and molds are greatly worn in mass production, so that they have a big defect in durability. An object of the present invention is to remove the mold and the mold in order to eliminate such a defect, and, as a lot of information, to engrave a bar code on the material or product to identify it.

[0009]

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a material or a product for engraving an identification bar (article) code, which is made of metal and synthetic material except sewing needles, needles, folding needles and injection needles. A groove, which forms a notch width in a material or product of resin, glass, ceramics, stone, or rubber, and a thick portion, which is adjacent to the groove and forms a flat width outside, are provided along the material or product. One or a plurality of them are formed in parallel and alternately, and the width of the notch of the groove, the number of grooves having the notch width, the width of the plane of the thick portion and the thickness of the plane are set. There is a bar code that identifies the number of thick parts to identify the source, manufacturing time, area, etc. of the product.
