Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a product label attaching device for attaching product labels to products conveyed on a conveyor line.

A conventional product label attaching device of this type includes the one described below with reference to FIG. That is, finished products such as hermetic compressors 2, 2, . A product label storage (e) 3 is arranged near the product label attachment work position on the conveyor line 1. This product label storage 3 includes a large number of product label storage boxes A,,A,,...B,,B2...,c,,
It has c2..., D,, D2.... The operator takes out a product label from the product label storage box and attaches it to the compressor 2, 2, etc. corresponding to each model of the compressor 2, 2, etc. that has been transported. However, in a multi-model, low-volume production line, it becomes necessary to take out the necessary product labels from among the many types of product labels from the storage box. For this reason, not only is there a risk of pasting a product label for another model onto the compressor by mistake, but it is also difficult to select the desired product label shrink box from a large number of product label shrink boxes and remove the product label from step 1. Therefore, the work efficiency of attaching product labels is extremely poor. ? f. Since many types of product labels must be made in advance, costs are high. Furthermore, a large product label storage 3 is required, and therefore a large installation space for this product label storage 3 is required.

It is an object of the present invention to enable a product label to be attached to a finished product accurately and efficiently, to reduce the cost of attachment, and to require only a small amount of space for the attachment work.

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a product label attaching device for attaching a product label to a product being conveyed on a conveyor line, at or around the product label attaching work position on the conveyor line where finished products are conveyed. A label printer is placed in the label printer, a control device for controlling the operation of the label printer is connected to the label printer, the control device includes a key human power section, a memory section, and a central processing section, and the key human power section is operated. A key signal corresponding to the content of the label display such as the model number to be printed on the label is given to the central processing unit, and the central processing unit reads out the display content of the label corresponding to the key signal from a predetermined memory area of the memory unit. A print command signal corresponding to this display content is given to the label printer, and the label printer prints the display content in response to this print command signal, and the label printer prints the display content. The label is attached to the finished product as a product label.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the configuration of this embodiment.

Finished product 11 in the product label attaching device of this embodiment
．． 11... is applied to, for example, a hermetic compressor. The compressors 11, 11, . . . are conveyed on a conveyor line 12 in the direction of arrow B. A label printer 13 is disposed at or around the product label attaching work position on the conveyor line 12. A control device 14 that controls the operation of the label printer 13 is connected to the label printer 13 via an electrical cord 15 that sends electrical signals.

The control device 14, as shown in FIG.
, memory section 141), center, processing section 140, and display section 14
(Includes i.The key manual section 14a is equipped with a plurality of operation keys.By operating these operation keys, a key signal is given to the central processing section 14C.This key signal is sent to the label to be printed by the label printer 13. This relates to the model number, etc. corresponding to the display content.Central processing unit 14
C is the memory section 14 corresponding to the input key signal.
The display contents of the label are read out from a predetermined memory area of a. The central processing unit 140 is also adapted to provide the label printer 13 with a print command signal corresponding to the display content read out from the memory unit 14a. The display section 14 (L) is designed to display information regarding such operations. The external appearance of the line printer 13 and the control device 14 are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, respectively.

The label printer 13 shown in FIG. 4 includes a label feeding tape 13a on which labels are pasted at equal intervals;
It includes a label printer main body 131) and a label peeling section 13C. The label feeding tape 13a is wound around the tape holder 13a, and printing and label feeding are controlled by the control device 14, so that the label feeding tape 13a is sequentially fed toward the label printer main body 131). The label printer main body 13b responds to print and feed command signals from the control device 14, and the label feeding tape 1 is sequentially fed out from the tape holder 13d.
It is designed to print on labels 13e, 13e, etc. attached to 3a. The label peeling section 13C peels off the labels 138, 138, etc. from the label feeding tape 13a fed out from the label printer main body 131). This label print body 1
3b and the label peeling sound lX13G are integrated in this embodiment, but they may be separate components. Also,
The control device 14 shown in FIG.
4b and a display section 14d, and a memory section 14a and a central processing section 14C, respectively. Therefore, ]1
A human operator operates the key manual section 14b of the control device 14. This operation is preferably performed while visually checking the display section 14a. In addition, another worker is at the label attaching work position where the label 1 printed by the label printer 13 is attached.
Compressors 11, 11 with 3e, 13e, etc. as product labels
Paste it on ... and give a few examples. The operator at this label attaching work position simply attaches the labels 13e, 13e, etc. printed by the label printer 13 to the compressor 11, which is sequentially conveyed.
．． All you have to do is paste it in 11...

Note that a so-called personal computer can be applied to the control device 14 in the embodiment described in -.

If a personal computer is used, a label printer can be placed on each conveyor line through which finished products are conveyed, and the operation of each label printer can be controlled individually.

As described above, according to the present invention, a label printer is arranged at or around the product label attachment work position on a conveyor line where finished products are conveyed, and the label printer is provided with a control system that controls the operation of the label printer. By connecting the device and using this control device, the label printer can be operated for each model of finished product, allowing the operator to print the product label by simply pasting the label printed by the label printer onto the finished product. A few examples can be done. Therefore, the product label can be attached to the product accurately and efficiently. Also,
Even in a multi-model, low-volume production line, there is no need to prepare multiple types of product labels in advance, so installation costs can be reduced, and since label printers are relatively small, The installation space is also small.
