Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a printing machine, and more particularly to a transfer printing machine that transfers an image to be printed from a strip of transfer paper onto a card-like recording material.

Generally, a transfer printing machine as described above consists of a printing section and a transfer section.The printer section forms an image to be printed on a band-shaped transfer paper, and the transfer section heats and presses a recording material onto the transfer paper to correspond to the image on the transfer paper. The image is transferred and printed onto the recording material by melting the paint on the transfer paper.

In such a transfer printing machine, the recording material is closely attached to the transfer paper during transfer, and in order to peel it off after transfer, a recording material suction unit using a vacuum is provided behind the transfer unit to separate the recording material. .

However, with this type of peeling method, if the recording material adheres tightly to the transfer paper, it cannot be removed reliably, and the transfer paper with the recording material adhered to it must be moved to the suction unit for the next printing. A wasted area is created on the strip of transfer paper up to the position where the desired image is printed.

The object of the present invention is to provide a transfer printing machine that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.

The transfer printing machine according to the present invention is a transfer printing machine that transfers an image to be printed from a band-shaped transfer paper onto a card-shaped recording material. A recording material peeling device is provided, and the recording material peeling device includes a peeling plate that can enter between the transfer paper and the recording material in close contact therewith, and a peeling plate that is placed on the peeling plate to hold the peeled recording material on the peeling plate. The recording material presser is configured to be resiliently provided, and the peeling plate is movable along the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped transfer paper, so that the recording material is peeled off from the transfer paper by moving the peeling plate after transfer. ing.

The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a transfer printing machine according to the present invention.

For example, a large number of card-shaped recording materials 8 such as commuter passes are stored in a box 1 and sent down one by one by a feed roller 2.

This recording material is conveyed along the conveyor belt 5 in the direction of arrow A and placed in front of the light emitting lamp device 9 by the guide 6.

The strip-shaped transfer paper 12 is made of a transparent polyester mount coated with a thin aluminum film on one side and a sublimation paint on the other side, and is taken out from the roll 11, passes through a printer 10 and a light emitting lamp device 9, and is wound onto a collection roller 13.

A pressurizing device 7 is installed in front of the light emitting lamp device 9.

The printed recording material is sent to the encoding section 18 along the conveyor belt 15 in the direction of arrow B.

Reference numerals 3, 4, 16, and 17 each indicate a transmission type detection sensor for detecting the passage of the recording material.

As shown in FIG. 2, the recording material peeling device 14 includes a peeling plate 2 that can enter between the transfer paper 12 and the recording material 8 that is in close contact with the transfer paper 12.
5 and a recording material presser 26 elastically provided on the peeling plate 25 to hold the peeled recording material on the peeling plate 25.
Consisted of.

The peeling plate 25 is attached to the sliding member 22 and is movable up and down as shown by the arrow.

FIG. 3 is a front view showing an example of a recording material peeling device according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a side view thereof.

In this case, the rotation of the motor 20 is controlled by the pulley 24 and the belt 1.
9 to the pulley 23, and the conversion mechanism 21 converts this into a linear motion, causing the sliding member 22 to move up and down.

Next, the operation of the transfer printing machine according to the present invention will be explained.

An image to be printed is formed by a printer 10 on a thin aluminum film of a strip of transfer paper 12 .

Subsequently, in front of the light-emitting lamp device 9, the transfer paper 12 and the recording material 8 are pressed together by the processing device 7, and the heat of the lamp melts the paint according to the image on the transfer paper 12, and transfer printing is performed on the recording material.

At this time, the peeling plate 25 of the recording material peeling device 14 is positioned between the transfer paper 12 and the recording material 8 in advance, and the knife edge portion 30 (see FIG. 2) at its lower edge slightly overlaps the upper edge of the recording material 8. be set in such a position.

Therefore, the recording material 8 is pressed onto the transfer paper 12 along its upper edge via the knife portion 30 of the peeling plate 25.

After the transfer is completed, the peeling plate 25 is lowered and the knife part 3 is removed.
0 is inserted between the transfer paper 12 and the recording material 8 and the two are peeled off.

The peeled recording material 8 is held by the presser 2 as the peeling material 25 descends.
6, it is elastically clamped without slipping and held on the peeling plate 25 by a presser 26.

Subsequently, the peeling plate 25 rises and the recording material 8 is moved to the rollers 31 and 32.
It is picked up by the printer, conveyed along the conveyor belt 15, encoded by the encoder 18, and then delivered to the exit as shown by arrow C.

In the transfer printing machine as described above, in order to peel off the recording material from the transfer paper after the transfer is completed, the recording material is separated only by the vertical movement of the release plate, without winding up the transfer paper and moving it.

Therefore, there is no wasted area between the position of the image to be printed formed on the transfer paper and the position of the next image to be printed, and the entire surface of the band-shaped transfer paper can be used effectively.

Further, since the recording material is peeled off by the intrusion operation of the peeling plate, the recording material is reliably peeled off from the transfer paper.
