此處,控制裝置9例如可包含:包含記憶體(記憶媒體)之記憶裝置,其中記憶體(記憶媒體)包含硬碟機(Hard disk drive、亦即HDD)、隨機存取記憶體(random access memory、亦即RAM)、唯讀記憶體(read only memory、亦即ROM)、快閃記憶體、揮發性或不揮發性之半導體記憶體、磁碟、軟碟、光碟、雷射唱片(compact disc)、小型磁碟或DVD等;執行例如儲存於該記憶裝置、外部之CD-ROM、外部之DVD-ROM、或外部之快閃記憶體等之程式之中央運算處理裝置(central processing unit,中央處理單元、亦即CPU)等處理電路;觸控面板、滑鼠、鍵盤、或各種開關等可輸入資訊之輸入裝置;及顯示器、液晶顯示裝置、或燈等可輸出資訊之輸出裝置。Here, the
搬送機構403於跨越3個以上之印刷單元101而設置之搬送路徑403A中搬送瓶8。雖然圖1之搬送路徑403A為直線狀,但搬送路徑403A可為於至少一部分包含曲線者。搬送路徑403A沿導軌413之一部分形成,搬送機構403沿導軌413搬送瓶8。而且,在與印刷單元101A、印刷單元101B、印刷單元101C、印刷單元101D、印刷單元101E及印刷單元101F各者對應之授受位置102A、授受位置102B、授受位置102C、授受位置102D、授受位置102E及授受位置102F,進行瓶8之授受(亦即,瓶8之接收及交接)。The
搬送機構403具備複數個搬送部(搬送部414A、搬送部414B、搬送部414C、搬送部414D及搬送部414E),其等可保持瓶8並沿搬送路徑403A(沿導軌413之一部分)移動。各個搬送部相對於導軌413經由輥等滑動。雖然於圖1所示之情形下,搬送機構403具有較印刷單元101之數量少1個之5個搬送部,但搬送部之數量不限定於此,只要設置2個以上即可。The conveying
又,於圖1所示之情形下,於搬送路徑403A中相鄰之搬送部相互藉由連結部416而連結,經連結之複數個搬送部藉由驅動受控制裝置9控制之搬送驅動部415而沿導軌413同時移動。換言之,複數個搬送部維持相鄰之搬送部彼此之間之距離且移動。此外,複數個搬送部可以維持相鄰之搬送部彼此之間之距離而不相互連結之方式,由控制裝置9控制移動。又,經連結之搬送部之數量亦不限定於如圖1所示之較授受位置之數量少1個之數量,只要設置2個以上之搬送部即可。Moreover, in the case shown in FIG. 1 , the adjacent conveying parts in the conveying
此處,搬送驅動部415例如係具備滾珠螺桿及馬達之直動機構。於使搬送部移動之搬送驅動部415係直動機構之情形下,即便於使搬送部在跨及3個以上之印刷單元101之較長之搬送路徑403A移動之情形下,由於與鏈式輸送機或帶式輸送機等比較,剛性更高,故搬送部之移動速度之容許度變高。因此,搬送部之高速移動亦可實現,作為印刷裝置100整體之作業效率提高。Here, the
各個授受位置位於對應之印刷單元101之例如正面(Y軸負方向),於授受位置自搬送部被交接至對應之各個印刷單元101之瓶8於印刷單元101中在其側面進行印刷。又,於各個印刷單元101中進行印刷後之瓶8於對應之授受位置自各個印刷單元101再次被交接至配置於該位置之搬送部。Each delivery position is located on the front side of the corresponding printing unit 101 (the negative direction of the Y axis), and the
回收機構405具備手部405A、及臂部405B。手部405A可載置瓶8(或,後述之保持具300)而構成。臂部405B於長度方向可伸縮地構成。臂部405B於端部安裝手部405A,且以與安裝有手部405A之端部為相反側之支點X為中心地於XY平面中可旋轉地構成。回收機構405例如以手部405A保持以於圖1中位於最為X軸正方向側之印刷單元101F進行印刷後之瓶8。具體而言,手部405A藉由臂部405B以朝向搬送路徑403A側之狀態伸長,而手部405A移動至授受位置102F。而後,於將瓶B(保持具300)載置於手部405A之後,臂部405B收縮。之後,藉由臂部405B以支點X為中心地於XY平面中旋轉,而所回收之瓶8被交接至循環機構406。此外,回收機構405回收瓶8之部位可非為位於搬送路徑403A之最下游之授受位置(於本實施形態中相當於授受位置102F),可為其他位置之授受位置。又,可行的是,回收機構405於X軸方向、Y軸方向及Z軸方向可進行位置調整。The
循環機構406使自回收機構405交接之瓶8向搬送路徑403A之上游側循環。具體而言,循環機構406以自X軸正方向向X軸負方向前進之帶式輸送機等搬送瓶8。而且,循環機構406將進行印刷後之瓶8返回搬入機構404之附近(亦即,於搬入機構404中進行瓶8之搬入作業之作業者之附近)。The
照射部407例如位於循環機構406之上游側(圖1之X軸正方向側),對由回收機構405回收之瓶8照射紫外線。藉此,例如,藉由光固化墨水而形成之瓶8中之墨水圖案固化且固定。此外,可於照射部407之下游側(圖1之X軸負方向側)設置快門408,快門408可以於在照射部407中照射紫外線之時序關閉,於瓶8自照射部407向循環機構406之下游側流通之時序開啟之方式,由控制裝置9控制開閉時序。The
搬入機構404朝位於搬送路徑403A之最上游側(圖1之X軸負方向側)之授受位置102A搬入瓶8。將搬入位置423與授受位置102A之間相連之搬入路徑404A沿導軌413之一部分形成,搬入機構404經由搬入路徑404A搬送瓶8。雖然圖1之搬入路徑404A為直線狀,但搬入路徑404A可為於至少一部分包含曲線者。被搬送至授受位置102A之瓶8由搬送機構403搬入印刷單元101A。The carrying-in
搬入機構404具備搬入部424,前述搬入部424保持瓶8且可沿搬入路徑404A(沿導軌413之一部分)移動。搬入部424相對於導軌413經由輥等滑動。於搬入位置423,藉由作業者,將瓶8設置於搬入部424。而且,設置有瓶8之搬入部424藉由驅動受控制裝置9控制之搬入驅動部425而移動,並到達授受位置102A。搬入驅動部425例如係具備滾珠螺桿及馬達之直動機構。The carrying-in
於進行印刷後之瓶8藉由循環機構406而移動至搬入機構404之附近之情形下,搬入機構404之作業者可回收進行完印刷之瓶8,且將其次應於印刷裝置100中進行印刷之瓶8設置於搬入部424。亦即,藉由在同一部位進行回收作業與設置作業,而作業效率提高。When the printed
雖然搬入部424與(於圖1中經連結之)複數個搬送部沿共通之導軌413移動,但搬入部424與(於圖1中經連結之)複數個搬送部可獨立地移動。亦即,搬入部424與複數個搬送部之移動速度及移動時序可不同。此外,搬入部424之移動速度可與搬送部相比為慢。Although the carrying
此外,複數個搬送部(尤其是位於搬送路徑403A之最上游之搬送部414A)藉由控制裝置9之控制,而相應於搬入部424之位置,移動受限制。具體而言,於搬入部424位於授受位置102A之期間,搬送部414A以不會位於授受位置102A之方式,限制複數個搬送部之移動。In addition, the movement of the plurality of conveying parts (especially the conveying
圖2及圖3係概略性顯示印刷裝置100之印刷單元101之構成之例之圖。於圖2及圖3中,作為工件之例,顯示瓶8,作為工件之側面之例,顯示瓶8之側面80。2 and 3 are diagrams schematically showing an example of the configuration of the
由搬入部424搬入、且由各個搬送部搬送之瓶8較理想為由保持具300可拆裝地予以保持。而且,保持具300配置於各個搬送部或搬入部424之上部,進而藉由夾持等而將保持具300固定於各個搬送部或搬入部424。It is preferable that the
亦即,瓶8於由保持具300保持之狀態下,由各個搬送部或搬入部424搬送。此外,於由回收機構405進行回收時、於在照射部407中被照射紫外線時、進而於由搬入機構404搬入至授受位置102A時,均較理想為瓶8為由保持具300保持之狀態。又,保持具300之形態不限定於圖2、圖3、進而後述之圖4所示者,只要為能夠保持瓶8之形態即可。That is, the
印刷裝置100具備3個以上之印刷單元101。各個印刷單元101朝瓶8之側面80進行例如單色印刷。於印刷裝置100設置複數個印刷單元101,藉由各個印刷單元101進行互不相同之色之單色印刷,而實現多色印刷(包含雙色印刷)。The
各個印刷單元101具備:版載台單元1、墨水填充單元2、轉印單元3、及固化單元4。該等構成自Y軸正方向側朝向Y軸負方向側以上述之順序排列配置。Each
與各個印刷單元101對應之授受位置之瓶8於由保持具300保持之狀態下與轉印單元3及固化單元4接近、或分開。圖2顯示瓶8在由保持具300保持之狀態下與轉印單元3及固化單元4分開之狀態。另一方面,圖3顯示瓶8在由保持具300保持之狀態下接近轉印單元3及固化單元4之狀態。The
除了於各個印刷單元101中進行上述之接近及分開以外,由保持具300保持之瓶8亦沿跨及複數個印刷單元101間之搬送路徑403A被搬送。In addition to the above-described approach and separation in each
於1個印刷單元101中,首先,藉由版載台單元1及墨水填充單元2形成利用光固化墨水之墨水圖案。In one
而且,將墨水圖案向轉印單元3轉印。進而,將墨水圖案自轉印單元3向瓶8之側面80轉印。Then, the ink pattern is transferred to the
而後,藉由來自固化單元4之光照射,而被轉印至瓶8之側面80之墨水固化。此外,固化單元4使瓶8之側面80之墨水固化之方法並非係限定於紫外線照射等之光照射者,可為例如藉由熱處理等使墨水固化之方法。Then, the ink transferred to the
保持具300之瓶8被保持為以側面80之旋轉對稱軸為中心而旋轉自如。印刷單元101之上述之任一工序均於瓶8由保持具300保持之狀態下執行。The
上述之工序中墨水圖案之形成、及墨水圖案向轉印單元3之轉印可於例如瓶8與轉印單元3及固化單元4分開之狀態(亦即,圖2所示之狀態)下、或於瓶8在複數個印刷單元101彼此之間移動之期間執行。The formation of the ink pattern in the above process and the transfer of the ink pattern to the
又,上述之工序中墨水圖案向瓶8之側面80之轉印、及墨水之固化係於瓶8接近轉印單元3及固化單元4之狀態(亦即,圖3所示之狀態)下執行。In addition, the transfer of the ink pattern to the
於印刷裝置100中,在所有印刷單元101A、印刷單元101B、印刷單元101C、印刷單元101D、印刷單元101E及印刷單元101F中執行完上述之工序之後,將瓶8在由保持具300保持之狀態下自印刷單元101搬送,於照射部407中進行使轉印至瓶8之側面80之墨水進一步固化之處理(正式固化處理)。該情形下,於各個印刷單元101執行之墨水固化,為每一單色印刷之暫時性固化。In the
將處理直至正式固化處理結束之瓶8,於循環機構406之下游或搬入機構404附近自保持具300卸下。另一方面,於搬入機構404中,朝卸下瓶8後之保持具300安裝下一個應於印刷裝置100中進行印刷之瓶8。The
對保持具300安裝及卸下瓶8,係於遠離印刷單元101之位置(例如搬入機構404之搬入位置423)進行。The
版載台單元1具備載台11及版12。版12配置於載台11之Z軸正方向側之面。版12係用於形成墨水圖案之版(例如凹版)。載台11可於XYZ方向之任一方向移動,且亦可進一步於繞Z軸之旋轉方向移動。對於如此之移動,例如使用交叉滾柱軸承機構。The
載台11自墨水填充單元2及轉印單元3觀察,可自Y軸正方向側之位置朝Y軸負方向移動,且可經由墨水填充單元2而接近轉印單元3。載台11亦可朝Y軸正方向移動,且可與轉印單元3分開。The
墨水填充單元2具備噴嘴21及墨水供給部22。墨水供給部22向噴嘴21供給光固化墨水(以下,亦簡稱為「墨水」)。The
光固化墨水例如包含作為顯色劑之顏料、藉由聚合而構成強固之聚合物層之聚合物材料(包含單體及寡聚體之至少一者)、及藉由因接受光照射而化學變化所產生之活性物種而促進聚合物材料之聚合反應的光聚合起始劑。The photo-curable ink, for example, contains a pigment as a color developer, a polymer material (including at least one of a monomer and an oligomer) that constitutes a strong polymer layer by polymerization, and a chemical change by exposure to light irradiation Photopolymerization initiators that promote the polymerization of polymer materials by generating active species.
當載台11朝Y軸負方向移動從而噴嘴21與版12於Z軸方向上對向時,將供給至噴嘴21之墨水自設置於噴嘴21之下端之噴出口噴出,進而塗佈於版12之Z軸正方向側之面(以下亦稱為「上表面」)。When the
於例如版12為凹版之情形下,藉由刮刀(未圖示)刮摩版12之上表面。藉此,由於將墨水填充於版12之凹部,且去除凹部以外之墨水,故於版12形成墨水圖案。For example, when the
將形成有墨水圖案之版12進一步朝Y軸負方向移動而接近轉印單元3。The
轉印單元3具備印刷布輥30及馬達33。馬達33使印刷布輥30旋轉。The
印刷布輥30具備印刷布主體31、及印刷布32。印刷布主體31例如為金屬製之圓筒。印刷布32被捲繞於印刷布主體31之表面印刷布32具有圓筒狀之形狀。The
印刷布輥30被支持為以於圖2及圖3中以一點鏈線表示之旋轉軸為中心旋轉自如。The
印刷布32之表面可使墨水附著且固定。於載台11朝Y軸負方向移動,且印刷布輥30與版12於Z軸方向對向時,印刷布32之表面抵接於版12之上表面。而且,形成於版12之墨水圖案移至(被轉印至)印刷布32之表面。The surface of the
瓶8接近轉印單元3,瓶8之側面80抵接於印刷布32,進而,印刷布32與側面80接觸且相互朝相反方向旋轉。The
藉此,移至印刷布32之墨水圖案被進一步轉印至側面80。基於上述之轉印之觀點,較理想為於瓶8之側面80可能產生之凹凸之高度小於印刷布32之厚度。Thereby, the ink pattern transferred to the
印刷布32作為使朝瓶8之側面80轉印之墨水圖案暫時附著及固定之中間轉印體發揮功能。印刷布32係由具有彈性之樹脂材料、例如矽樹脂形成。The
於在上述之轉印中,瓶8旋轉1周以上之情形下,設想瓶8之側面80之墨水圖案向印刷布32轉印(以下亦稱為「逆轉印」)。逆轉印擾亂瓶8之側面80之墨水圖案。被轉印至側面80之墨水之黏度如例如以下般增大,以減少逆轉印。In the above-mentioned transfer, when the
朝向自印刷布32剛接收到墨水圖案之轉印後之瓶8之側面80自固化單元4照射光(紫外線)。於在印刷裝置100設置複數個印刷單元101之情形下,於使墨水中包含之聚合物材料之一部分聚合而使墨水之黏度增大,但以不致使墨水整體固化之條件,自固化單元4照射光(紫外線)。上述之條件例如根據該光之強而設定。Light (ultraviolet rays) is irradiated from the
藉由墨水之黏度增大,而自瓶8之側面80向印刷布32之附著性降低,減少逆轉印。上述之附著性之降低基於避免保持具300之污染之觀點亦較理想。As the viscosity of the ink increases, the adhesion from the
圖4係概略性顯示保持著瓶8之狀態之保持具300之構成之例之側視圖。FIG. 4 is a side view schematically showing an example of the configuration of the
保持具300繞沿著X軸方向之旋轉軸線309旋轉自如地保持瓶8。該瓶8以旋轉對稱軸800沿著旋轉軸線309之橫向之姿勢由保持具300予以保持。以下,將相對於旋轉軸線309之周向及徑向分別簡稱為周向及徑向。The
如圖4所例示般,保持具300具備保持機構310、及保持本體部330。As illustrated in FIG. 4 , the
保持機構310繞旋轉自如地保持瓶8之一端。由保持部310保持之瓶8之一端係旋轉對稱軸800上之瓶8之一側之端部。The
保持機構310具備旋轉保持部311。旋轉保持部311具備:軸部312,其繞旋轉軸線309旋轉自如地受支持;及保持構件313,其連結於軸部312之端部。The
保持構件313將瓶8之一端可拆裝地予以保持。在保持構件313保持著瓶8之一端之狀態下,旋轉保持部311繞旋轉軸線309旋轉,從而由旋轉保持部311保持之瓶8亦繞旋轉軸線309旋轉。The holding
於圖4之例中,保持具300亦具備旋轉驅動機構500。旋轉驅動機構500對旋轉保持部311賦予使旋轉保持部311繞旋轉軸線309旋轉之驅動力。旋轉驅動機構500具備馬達501,馬達501之旋轉力傳遞至旋轉保持部311,使得旋轉保持部311繞旋轉軸線309旋轉。In the example of FIG. 4 , the
於圖4所示之例中,旋轉驅動機構500經由動力傳遞機構380朝旋轉保持部311傳遞旋轉力。動力傳遞機構380包含齒輪、皮帶輪或皮帶等各種機械要素,將來自旋轉驅動機構500之旋轉力傳遞至旋轉保持部311。動力傳遞機構380可包含例如離合器,可切換將來自旋轉驅動機構500之旋轉力傳遞至旋轉保持部311之連接狀態、與不將來自旋轉驅動機構500之旋轉力傳遞至旋轉保持部311之截斷狀態。In the example shown in FIG. 4 , the
軸部312具備軸314。軸314沿旋轉軸線309設置,相對於保持本體部330可繞旋轉軸線309旋轉地受支持。The shaft portion 312 includes a
保持本體部330具備平板狀之基台333、支持部331、及支持部332。基台333具有垂直於Z軸方向之平板狀之形狀。支持部331於X軸正方向側自基台333朝Z軸正方向設置。支持部332在與支持部331朝X軸負方向分開之位置自基台333朝Z軸正方向設置。The holding
於軸314之X軸負方向側之端部設置保持構件313,於軸314之X軸正方向側之端部設置旋鈕構件319。A holding
保持構件313將作為瓶8之一端之口部81可拆裝地予以保持。瓶8具備口部81、主體部82、及底部83。主體部82具有圓筒形狀,作為其外側面之側面80針對旋轉對稱軸800旋轉對稱。底部83將主體部82之X軸負方向側之開口封蓋。口部81連結於主體部82之X軸正方向側之開口,具有隨著遠離主體部82而直徑變小之漸細之圓筒形狀。於口部81之前端之外側面形成有公螺紋部。保持構件313具有與瓶蓋同樣之形狀。The holding
於口部81與保持構件313未連結之狀態下,作業者一面保持瓶8且規制瓶8之旋轉,一面使旋鈕構件319向口部81與保持構件313相互螺合之方向旋轉。藉由該旋轉,而口部81與保持構件313螺合。而且,藉由該螺合,而口部81與保持構件313連結。藉由該連結,而軸314與瓶8於X軸方向連結。In a state where the
於保持構件313與瓶8被連結之狀態下,作業者一面規制瓶8之旋轉,一面使旋鈕構件319向解除口部81與保持構件313之螺合之方向旋轉。藉由如此之旋轉,而自口部81卸下保持構件313,軸314與瓶8之間之連結被解除。In a state where the holding
於圖4所示之例中,軸部312具備自動調心軸承315。自動調心軸承315將軸314旋轉自如地支持於保持本體部330。具體而言,軸314貫通固定於自動調心軸承315之內環,自動調心軸承315之外環相對於保持本體部330(支持部331)固定。此外,自動調心軸承315之外環與支持部331之固定於圖4中省略圖示。自動調心軸承315之內環相對於外環旋轉自如且傾斜自如。因此,由於即便軸314相對於旋轉軸線309撓曲,自動調心軸承315之內環亦根據軸314之撓曲,相對於外環傾斜變位,故軸314可維持撓曲之狀態而旋轉。In the example shown in FIG. 4 , the shaft portion 312 is provided with a self-aligning bearing 315 . The self-aligning bearing 315 rotatably supports the
且說,瓶8之口部81之形狀可根據產品差異而各不相同。有根據該形狀差異,而例如口部81之中心軸相對於主體部82之旋轉對稱軸800偏移之情形。該情形下,若將瓶8之口部81安裝於保持構件313,則瓶8之主體部82之旋轉對稱軸800相對於旋轉軸線309偏移。即,招致瓶8之徑向之變位。In addition, the shape of the
如此之瓶8之變位招致印刷之不良狀況。為了抑制該變位,而於圖4所示之例中,於保持具300設置有支承輥370。The displacement of the
支承輥370配置於較瓶8更靠徑向外側,且與瓶8之側面80接觸。於圖4所示之例中,雖然僅顯示一個支承輥370,但可設置複數個支承輥。複數個支承輥於周向之互不相同之位置與瓶8之側面80接觸。The
於圖4之例中,保持具300亦具備保持機構320。保持機構320具備旋轉保持部321。旋轉保持部321將瓶8之另一端(此處為底部83)繞旋轉軸線309旋轉自如地朝X軸正方向側彈推。In the example of FIG. 4 , the
旋轉保持部321具備軸322、接觸構件323、及彈推構件324。The
軸322沿旋轉軸線309設置,且配置為與軸部312之軸線(即軸314之軸線)一致。軸322相對於支持部332繞旋轉軸線309旋轉自如地受支持,且亦可相對於支持部332沿X軸方向移動地受支持。The
於軸322之X軸正方向側之端部設置有與瓶8之底部83接觸之接觸構件323。於軸322之X軸負方向側之端部設置有旋鈕構件325。A
沿旋轉軸線309觀察時之接觸構件323之尺寸大於軸322。彈推構件324設置於接觸構件323與支持部332之X軸正方向側之壁面之間。彈推構件324將接觸構件323朝瓶8之底部83側彈推。例如彈推構件324包含彈簧,該彈簧插入軸322。藉由彈推構件324將接觸構件323朝底部83側彈推,而彈推力經由接觸構件323被傳遞至瓶8之底部83。即,接觸構件323將瓶8之底部83朝口部81側彈推。藉此,瓶8於X軸方向由保持機構310及保持機構320夾持。The size of the
操作員一面抗著由彈推構件324施加之彈推力,一面使旋鈕構件325朝X軸負方向移動,可將接觸構件323自底部83離開。將接觸構件323自底部83離開使自口部81卸下保持構件313之處理容易化。The operator can move the

此時,為了於複數個印刷單元101A、印刷單元101B、印刷單元101C、印刷單元101D、印刷單元101E及印刷單元101F各者中同時進行印刷動作,而可使於搬入位置423固定於搬入部424之瓶8依次移動至授受位置102A。如此,於複數個印刷單元101A、印刷單元101B、印刷單元101C、印刷單元101D、印刷單元101E及印刷單元101F中同時進行印刷動作,印刷裝置100整體之作業效率提高。而後,前進至圖6所例示之步驟ST108。At this time, in order to simultaneously perform printing operations in each of the plurality of
其次,於步驟ST108中,藉由控制裝置9之控制,自位於授受位置102B之搬送部414A向對應之印刷單元101B交接由保持具300保持之狀態之瓶8。又,於將由保持具300保持之狀態之瓶8固定於位於其他授受位置之搬送部之情形下,亦自該搬送部向對應之印刷單元101交接由保持具300保持之狀態之瓶8。此處,若相鄰之搬送部間之距離為相鄰之授受位置間之距離之整數倍,則複數個搬送部可於對應之授受位置同時進行瓶8之授受。而後,前進至圖6所例示之步驟ST109。Next, in step ST108, under the control of the
其次,於步驟ST109中,藉由控制裝置9之控制,於印刷單元101B中,對由保持具300保持之狀態之瓶8之側面80進行印刷。又,於在步驟ST108中亦朝其他印刷單元101交接由保持具300保持之狀態之瓶8之情形下,於該印刷單元101中亦向在步驟ST108中交接之瓶8之側面80進行印刷。此外,於該瓶8為已於位於搬送路徑403A之上游側之印刷單元101進行印刷之瓶8之情形下,於步驟ST109中,藉由進行與先前完成之印刷不同之色彩之印刷,而對瓶8進行多色印刷。而後,前進至圖6所例示之步驟ST110。Next, in step ST109, under the control of the
其次,於步驟ST110中,藉由控制裝置9之控制,經連結之複數個搬送部(亦即,搬送部414A、搬送部414B、搬送部414C、搬送部414D及搬送部414E)以搬送部414A位於授受位置102A之方式移動。此處,於搬入部424位於授受位置102A之情形下,搬入部424於自授受位置102A移動後(包含剛移動後),使搬送部414A移動至授受位置102A。又,於由連結部416連結之複數個搬送部之間之間隔為複數個授受位置之間之間隔之整數倍之情形下,可與搬送部414A位於授受位置102A同時,其他搬送部亦位於對應之授受位置(亦即,與搬送部414B對應之授受位置102B、與搬送部414C對應之授受位置102C、與搬送部414D對應之授受位置102D、與搬送部414E對應之授受位置102E)。亦即,可設為第1配置。而後,前進至圖6所例示之步驟ST111。Next, in step ST110, under the control of the
此外,步驟ST110可於進行步驟ST109之印刷單元101之印刷動作之期間進行。In addition, step ST110 may be performed during the printing operation of the
其次,於步驟ST111中,搬送部是否位於與各個印刷單元101對應之授受位置係就各個授受位置之每一者來判定。而且,於搬送部位於與印刷單元101對應之授受位置之情形下,亦即於對應於圖6之自步驟ST111分支之「是」之情形下,前進至圖6所例示之步驟ST112。另一方面,於搬送部未位於與印刷單元101對應之授受位置之情形下,亦即於對應於圖6之自步驟ST111分支之「否」之情形下,前進至圖6所例示之步驟ST113。Next, in step ST111, whether or not the conveying portion is located at the delivery/reception position corresponding to each
於步驟ST112中,藉由控制裝置9之控制,向位於與各個印刷單元101對應之授受位置之搬送部交接由保持具300保持之狀態之瓶8。而後,返回圖6所例示之步驟ST107。In step ST112, under the control of the
於步驟ST113中,例如,如位於搬送路徑403A之最下游之授受位置102F之情形般,搬送部未位於與印刷單元101F對應之授受位置,故藉由控制裝置9之控制,回收機構405回收由保持具300保持之狀態之該瓶8。而後,前進至圖6所例示之步驟ST114。In step ST113, for example, as in the case of the
其次,於步驟ST114中,藉由控制裝置9之控制,對由回收機構405回收之瓶8,照射部407照射紫外線。藉此,瓶8之墨水圖案固化且固定。而後,前進至圖6所例示之步驟ST115。Next, in step ST114, under the control of the
其次,於步驟ST115中,藉由控制裝置9之控制,循環機構406以返回搬送路徑403A之上游側之方式搬送由保持具300保持之狀態之瓶8。而且,循環機構406將進行印刷後之瓶8返回搬入機構404之附近(亦即,於搬入機構404中進行瓶8之搬入作業之作業者之附近)。而後,根據需要自保持具300卸下瓶8,而結束動作。Next, in step ST115, under the control of the
<關於由以上所記載之實施形態產生之效果> 其次,顯示由以上所記載之實施形態產生之效果之例。此外,於以下之說明中,基於以上所記載之實施形態所例示之具體的構成,記載該效果,但可於產生同樣效果之範圍內置換為本案說明書所例示之其他具體的構成。亦即,以下有方便上僅代表性記載建立對應關係之具體的構成中任一者之情形,但可將代表性記載之具體的構成置換成建立對應關係之其他具體的構成。<About the effect produced by the above-described embodiment> Next, an example of the effect produced by the above-described embodiment is shown. In addition, in the following description, this effect is described based on the specific structure exemplified in the above-described embodiment, but it can be replaced with other specific structures exemplified in the present specification within the scope of producing the same effect. That is, in the following, there is a case where only one of the specific structures for establishing the corresponding relationship is only representatively described below, but the specific structure for establishing the corresponding relationship may be replaced by other specific structures for establishing the corresponding relationship.
根據以上所記載之實施形態,印刷裝置具備3個以上之印刷單元101、及搬送機構403。印刷單元101於對應之授受位置進行工件之授受(包含接收及交接之兩者)。此處,工件例如對應於瓶8。又,印刷單元101對在對應之授受位置交遞之瓶8進行印刷。搬送機構403具有跨及3個以上之授受位置之搬送路徑403A。又,搬送機構403於搬送路徑403A中搬送瓶8。而且,搬送機構403具備複數個搬送部(例如,搬送部414A、搬送部414B、搬送部414C、搬送部414D及搬送部414E)。各個搬送部保持瓶8且可沿搬送路徑403A移動。又,各個搬送部於對應之授受位置進行瓶8之授受。又,複數個搬送部在相互保持一定距離之狀態下沿搬送路徑403A移動。According to the embodiment described above, the printing apparatus includes three or
根據如此之構成,由於搬送部沿跨及3個以上之授受位置之搬送路徑403A移動,故即便於利用複數個印刷單元進行印刷之情形下,亦抑制用於在複數個搬送機構間交接工件之時間及可能因該交接而產生之位置偏移。因此,可抑制作業效率之降低及印刷位置對工件之偏移。又,複數個搬送部由於在相互保持一定距離之狀態下移動,故對於1個搬送部固定有瓶8之情形之位置關係亦容易對於其他搬送部維持。因此,可容易進行定位。According to such a configuration, since the conveying portion moves along the conveying
此外,於對上述之構成適宜追加了本案說明書所例示之其他構成之情形下,亦即於適宜追加了未作為上述之構成而言及之本案說明書中之其他構成之情形下,亦可產生同樣之效果。In addition, when other structures illustrated in the description of the present application are appropriately added to the above-mentioned structures, that is, when other structures in the description of the present application that are not mentioned as the above-mentioned structures are appropriately added, the same can also occur. Effect.
又,根據以上所記載之實施形態,瓶8於由保持具300保持之狀態下進一步由各個搬送部保持。又,各個搬送部於對應之授受位置進行由保持具300保持之狀態之瓶8之授受。根據如此之構成,由於在瓶8之移動時亦維持由保持具300保持之狀態,故定位精度提高。Moreover, according to the embodiment described above, the
又,根據以上所記載之實施形態,相鄰之搬送部間之距離為相鄰之授受位置間之距離之整數倍。而且,複數個搬送部於對應之授受位置同時進行瓶8之授受。根據如此之構成,由於在複數個搬送部中瓶8之授受之時序同步,故可縮短為了進行瓶8之授受而使搬送部之移動停止之時間。亦即,若於複數個搬送部中瓶8之授受之時序不同,則必須於各個搬送部之瓶8之授受之時序使複數個搬送部之移動停止,但若於複數個搬送部中瓶8之授受之時序同步,則可縮短使搬送部之移動停止之時間。Moreover, according to the embodiment described above, the distance between adjacent conveying parts is an integral multiple of the distance between adjacent transfer positions. In addition, the plurality of conveying parts simultaneously perform the delivery and delivery of the
又,根據以上所記載之實施形態,授受位置與3個以上之印刷單元101各者對應地至少包含第1授受位置(授受位置102A)、第2授受位置(授受位置102B)及第3授受位置(授受位置102C)。又,複數個搬送部中至少包含第1搬送部(搬送部414A)及第2搬送部(搬送部414B)。而且,於搬送路徑403A中交替形成:第1搬送部(搬送部414A)位於第1授受位置(授受位置102A)、且第2搬送部(搬送部414B)位於第2授受位置(授受位置102B)之第1配置;及第1搬送部(搬送部414A)位於第2授受位置(授受位置102B)、且第2搬送部(搬送部414B)位於第3授受位置(授受位置102C)之第2配置。根據如此之構成,較1個搬送部將相同之瓶8自搬送路徑403A之上游搬送至下游之情形,可縮短各個搬送部之移動距離。因此,亦可抑制搬送部之移動速度。Furthermore, according to the above-described embodiment, the give-and-take positions correspond to each of the three or
又,根據以上所記載之實施形態,當於第2配置下將瓶8自搬送部414A及搬送部414B中之至少一者交遞至對應之印刷單元101後,於對應之印刷單元101對於經交遞之瓶8進行印刷之期間,搬送部414A及搬送部414B移動而形成第1配置。根據如此之構成,由於在印刷單元101之印刷動作結束之後立即進行瓶8之授受及搬送,故可提高印刷裝置100整體之作業效率。Furthermore, according to the above-described embodiment, after the
又,根據以上所記載之實施形態,搬送機構403具備沿著搬送路徑403A之導軌413。而且,各個搬送部可沿導軌413移動。根據如此之構成,搬送部藉由沿導軌413驅動之直動機構而移動。如是,即便於使搬送部於較長之搬送路徑403A移動之情形下,由於與鏈式輸送機或帶式輸送機等比較,剛性更高,故搬送部之移動速度之容許度變高。因此,搬送部之高速移動亦可實現,作為印刷裝置100整體之作業效率提高。Moreover, according to the embodiment described above, the
又,根據以上所記載之實施形態,印刷裝置100具備回收機構405及循環機構406。回收機構405回收以對自搬送路徑403A之上游向下游搬送之瓶8依次進行印刷之3個以上之印刷單元101中、位於搬送路徑403A之下游側之印刷單元101F進行印刷後之瓶8。循環機構406使由回收機構405回收之瓶8朝搬送路徑403A之上游側循環。根據如此之構成,由於使經回收之瓶8朝搬入瓶8之搬送路徑403A之上游側循環,故作業者無須為了回收而於搬送路徑403A之下游等待,可減少作業者之數量。又,由於經由與搬送路徑403A為不同路徑之循環機構使瓶8循環,故可防止為了進行印刷而自搬送路徑403A之上游向下游搬送之瓶8、與進行印刷後自搬送路徑403A之下游側向上游側搬送之瓶8混存。因此,可防止搬送因混存而停滯,而提高搬送效率。Moreover, according to the embodiment described above, the
又,根據以上所記載之實施形態,印刷裝置100具備對由回收機構405回收之瓶8照射紫外線的照射部407。而且,循環機構406使經照射部407照射紫外線之瓶8向搬送路徑403A之上游側循環。根據如此之構成,由於在搬入瓶8之搬入機構404之位置與照射部407之位置之間設置循環機構406,故可使搬入瓶8之作業者遠離照射部407。因此,可抑制照射部407之紫外線之影響等,供作業者安全地進行作業。Moreover, according to the embodiment described above, the
又,根據以上所記載之實施形態,印刷裝置100具備搬入機構404。搬入機構404具有搬入路徑404A,該搬入路徑404A跨及瓶8之搬入位置423、及與位於搬送路徑403A之最上游之印刷單元101即最上游印刷單元(於圖1中位於最為X軸負方向之印刷單元101A)對應之授受位置即最上游授受位置(於圖1中為授受位置102A)。又,搬入機構404經由搬入路徑404A搬入瓶8。而且,搬入機構404具備搬入部424。搬入部424可保持瓶8並沿搬入路徑404A移動。又,搬入部424於授受位置102A,將瓶8搬入至最上游印刷單元(於圖1中位於最為X軸負方向之印刷單元101A)。根據如此之構成,在配置於靠近作業者之部位之搬入路徑404A中,與相連結之複數個搬送部相比,可使較輕之搬入部424與複數個搬送部獨立地移動。因此,由於可減輕在作業者附近移動之對象之重量,故作業者可安全地進行作業。Moreover, according to the embodiment described above, the
又,根據以上所記載之實施形態,任一搬送部於搬入部424位於授受位置102A之期間,皆不位於授受位置102A。根據如此之構成,於作業者使搬入部424位於授受位置102A而進行作業之期間,藉由控制裝置9之控制,限制搬送部移動至授受位置102A。因此,作業者可專心作業。Moreover, according to the above-described embodiment, neither of the conveying parts is located at the receiving and receiving
根據以上所記載之實施形態,於印刷方法中,於跨及3個以上之印刷單元101之搬送路徑403A中搬送瓶8。而且,印刷單元101對在對應之授受位置被交遞之瓶8進行印刷。此處,搬送瓶8之工序係由複數個搬送部中之至少1個搬送瓶8之工序。又,搬送瓶8之工序係由複數個搬送部在相互保持一定距離之狀態下沿搬送路徑403A移動之工序。According to the embodiment described above, in the printing method, the
根據如此之構成,由於搬送部沿跨及3個以上之印刷單元101之搬送路徑403A移動,故即便於利用複數個印刷單元進行印刷之情形下,亦抑制用於在複數個搬送機構間交接工件之時間及可能因該交接而產生之位置偏移。因此,可抑制作業效率之降低及印刷位置對工件之偏移。According to such a configuration, since the conveying section moves along the conveying
此外,如無特別限制,則進行各個處理之順序可變更。In addition, the order in which each process is performed can be changed unless it is specifically limited.
又,於對上述之構成適宜追加了本案說明書所例示之其他構成之情形下,亦即於適宜追加了未作為上述之構成而言及之本案說明書中之其他構成之情形下,亦可產生同樣之效果。In addition, in the case where other structures illustrated in the description of this application are appropriately added to the above-mentioned structures, that is, when other structures in the description of this application that are not mentioned as the above-mentioned structures are appropriately added, the same can also occur. Effect.
又,根據以上所記載之實施形態,搬送瓶8之工序為下述工序,即:當於第2配置下自搬送部414A及搬送部414B中之至少一者交遞至對應之印刷單元101後,於對應之印刷單元101對於經交遞之瓶8進行印刷之期間,搬送部414A及搬送部414B移動而形成第1配置,進而,當於第1配置下自與搬送部414A及搬送部414B中之至少一者對應之印刷單元101交遞瓶8後,形成第2配置。根據如此之構成,由於在印刷單元101之印刷動作結束之後立即進行瓶8之授受及搬送,故可提高印刷裝置100整體之作業效率。In addition, according to the above-described embodiment, the process of conveying the
