Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a label affixing device for affixing a label to an object.

Conventionally, this type of labeling device has the following features, as shown in Figure 4:
The label (41) peeled off by the peeler (40) is pressed by the sticking roller (42) to be pasted on the object (43), or the label peeled off by the peeler is sucked by a suction device. The adhesive was applied by pressing it onto the object using a pressing machine.

However, the labeling device does not include a label (41).
When pressing the pasting object (43), the pasting roller rough 42
) and the vertical movement distance of the presser have already been determined,
Since the pasting roller (42) and press R'c are lowered to a fixed location, if the size of the pasted object (43) changes, the pasting roller (42) and press machine may not be able to reach the pasted object (43). , the label (41) cannot be pressed to the correct position on the target object (43) due to crushing of the target object (43). ) had the disadvantage that it could not be neatly pasted at the pasting position.

In addition, in this label pasting device, the vertical movement distance of the drive device that moves the pasting roller (42) and the press machine up and down is a relatively long distance, so the driving force and energy consumed for the vertical movement are enormous. It had some drawbacks.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and even if the size of the object changes, the label can be pressed to the exact position of the object, and the label can be neatly affixed to the object. In addition, the vertical movement distance of the drive device that moves the pasting roller and press machine downward is a relatively small distance, which allows for miniaturization of the rubber pasting device. 1st,
It was developed with the aim of providing a labeling device that requires less motive power and energy for its vertical movement.

Next, the operating situation of this embodiment will be explained.

First, as shown in Fig. 1, the label continuum (2) is transferred to the winding reel (3), and the label continuum (2) is transferred to the roller (32a) in the label issuing device (1).
) (32b), label detector (4) and ξ・
f; c) Pass through the transfer device (5) and reach the peeler (6);
The release paper (10) of the label continuous body (2) is removed by the peeler (6).
) is folded back at the tip of the label feed roller (7) and roller (32c), and then wound up by the take-up reel (8).

The label (9) in the above label continuum (2) is fed by sandwiching the peeling 11E (10) between the rubber roller (+5) and roller (32c) of the label feed 1''-ra (7). After being detected by the label detector (4), characters, numbers, figures, etc. are thermally transferred to the label (1) for 3 minutes, and then the thermal head of the thermal transfer device (5) (11) Transported to the vicinity.

Then, the transferred reel (9) is
: The thermal transfer ribbon (12) is brought into contact with the label (9) by the device (5), and a thermal heel is applied to the part where the label (9) and the thermal transfer ribbon (12) come into contact if+1+. Thermal transfer is carried out by bringing the head portion of (11) into contact with the thermal heel 1' (11).

At the time of the above thermal transfer, the thermal transfer ribbon (12)
The label (9) is moved by the ribbon feed reel (13).
is sent in the same direction as the direction in which the label (9) is transported, is wound up by the ribbon take-up reel (14) in the same direction as the direction in which the label (9) is transported, and comes into contact with the label (9);
Moreover, it is being transported at the same speed as the transport speed of the label (9).

In addition, in this case, the speed at which the label (9) is transported during thermal transfer is such that the thermal head (11)
Since the transfer is carried out thermally, the speed is slower than the speed at which the object to be pasted (31) is transported by a transport means (30), which will be described later.

The label (9) that has been transported at the above speed is removed by a peeler (
(j), it is peeled off from the release paper (10) and fed out to the label pressing device (16).

The fed-out label (9) is pressed by a label pressing device (If
i) is sucked and held by the pressing device (18).

”-The suction and holding described above is performed when the exhaust fan (27)
Exhaust the air from the almost airtight area created in step 23),
This is done by creating a suction force in the suction hole (25).

Next, the pressing device (19) is turned off, and the pressing device (19) is turned off.

Impact the part at 9° (18) with a short stroke.

The pressing device (18) that has been impacted is able to obtain a stroke several times the transfer stroke of the pressing device (11) due to the impact energy and the inertial force of the pressing device (18), and becomes elastic. The label (9) is held under suction by the I'll I ball device (18) against the body (17), so that the surface of the adhesive layer of the label (9) is conveyed. It comes into contact with the -1- side of the object to be applied (31) and is applied to the object to be applied (31) conveyed by the one-way transport device (30).

Further, the pressing device (18) is suspended by fitting pins (24) protruding from both side surfaces into the locking holes (21>) of the elastic body (17). Since it is supported in a swingable manner, when the two parts of the pressing device (18) are moved downward by i!I, they move downward and press the one object (31) to be pasted.
It will not be crushed by pressing on it.

In addition, when the pressing device (18) makes a downward movement by impacting its two parts, the elastic body (17) stretches and the lower part Ha+'
: Since it moves, the pressing device (18) can also reach the target object (31) of different heights at 6 (t) and densely apply the label (
9) can be attached.

The present invention is not limited to the above. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the label (9) may be displayed by a thermal printing device (5a), or by ink. This may be done by a printing device.

Further, the continuous label body (2) may be of any type as long as the label (9) is temporarily attached to the release paper (]0).

Since the present invention is configured as described above, when the size of the object to be affixed changes, the label can be pressed to the correct position of the affixed object (=J object), and the In addition, even if it takes a considerable amount of time to display letters, numbers, etc. on a label by typhus transfer, etc., the speed of the conveyance means can be kept at the normal speed. It is possible to transport the object to be affixed and affix the label to the object in the optimum condition, and it is possible to convey the object and affix the label to the object in the optimum condition. However, it is possible to provide a labeling device that has a relatively short distance and requires less motive force and energy for its vertical movement.
