 本発明につき、一実施形態を取り上げて以下に説明する。
 図1は、包材切れ検知機構を備えた薬剤包装装置におけるロール体1の周辺部分を示す図である。ロール体1は、長尺のシート材である包材12が芯部材11に巻き付けられて構成されている。シート使用機器である薬剤包装装置は、ロール体1から包材12を引き出して使用する。薬剤包装装置は、固形の薬剤を包装するために用いられる。
One embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
FIG. 1 is a view showing a peripheral portion of a roll body 1 in a medicine packaging apparatus provided with a packaging material breakage detection mechanism. The roll body 1 is configured by winding a wrapping material 12, which is a long sheet material, around a core member 11. The medicine packaging apparatus which is a sheet using device draws the packaging material 12 from the roll body 1 and uses it. The medicine packaging device is used for packaging a solid medicine.
 薬剤包装装置は、包材12を引き出せるように、ロール体1を保持する保持部2と、保持部2によって保持されているロール体1から引き出された包材12に薬剤を投入するためのホッパー4と、ホッパー4を介して包材12に投入された薬剤を包材12内に封止するための封止部5と、封止部5を制御する制御部7とを備える。 The medicine packaging apparatus is configured to hold the roll body 1 so that the packaging material 12 can be drawn out, and a hopper for putting the medicine into the packaging material 12 drawn from the roll body 1 held by the holding part 2. 4, a sealing part 5 for sealing the medicine put into the packaging material 12 via the hopper 4 in the packaging material 12, and a control unit 7 for controlling the sealing part 5.
 保持部2は、図3に示すように軸部21を有する。軸部21は、この軸部21の軸線まわりに回転可能に設けられる。保持部2の軸部21には、ロール体1の芯部材11が外嵌される。 The holding part 2 has a shaft part 21 as shown in FIG. The shaft portion 21 is provided to be rotatable around the axis of the shaft portion 21. The core member 11 of the roll body 1 is fitted on the shaft portion 21 of the holding portion 2.
 保持部2とホッパー4との間には、半折り機構3が設けられる。半折り機構3は、ロール体1から引き出された包材12を幅方向に半分に折る。包材12の半折りされた部分には、図1に示すようにホッパー4が挿入される。 A half-folding mechanism 3 is provided between the holding unit 2 and the hopper 4. The half-folding mechanism 3 folds the packaging material 12 drawn from the roll body 1 in half in the width direction. A hopper 4 is inserted into the half-folded portion of the packaging material 12 as shown in FIG.
 封止部5は、保持部2によって保持されているロール体1から引き出された包材12に作用する作用部として機能する。封止部5は、包材12を熱圧着することによって、半折りされた包材12内に薬剤を封止する。つまり、この作用部としての封止部5の作用は、包材12に関連して奏されるものであり、熱圧着による包材12の封止である。 The sealing part 5 functions as an action part that acts on the packaging material 12 drawn from the roll body 1 held by the holding part 2. The sealing unit 5 seals the drug in the half-folded packaging material 12 by thermocompression bonding of the packaging material 12. That is, the action of the sealing part 5 as the action part is exerted in relation to the packaging material 12 and is sealing of the packaging material 12 by thermocompression bonding.
 図2A及び図2Bは、ロール体1を説明するための図であり、図2Aはロール体1の外観を示す斜視図であり、図2Bはロール体1の径方向断面を示す要部拡大の斜視図である。ロール体1は、芯部材11と、芯部材11に巻き付けられている包材12とを備える。 2A and 2B are views for explaining the roll body 1, FIG. 2A is a perspective view showing an appearance of the roll body 1, and FIG. 2B is an enlarged view of a main part showing a radial section of the roll body 1. It is a perspective view. The roll body 1 includes a core member 11 and a packaging material 12 wound around the core member 11.
 芯部材11は、筒状であり、本実施形態では円筒状である。本実施形態の芯部材11は樹脂製である。しかし、芯部材11の材質は、樹脂に限定されない。芯部材11は、包材12を巻き付けることのできる保形性を有するように形成できるのならば、種々の材質で形成できる。 The core member 11 has a cylindrical shape, and is cylindrical in this embodiment. The core member 11 of the present embodiment is made of resin. However, the material of the core member 11 is not limited to resin. The core member 11 can be formed of various materials as long as the core member 11 can be formed so as to have a shape retaining property around which the packaging material 12 can be wound.
 芯部材11には、貫通窓111が形成されている。貫通窓111は、芯部材11を、この芯部材11の軸線と交差する方向に貫通する貫通孔である。本実施形態では、貫通窓111は、芯部材11を内外方向、つまり、この芯部材11の径方向に貫通するように形成されている。貫通窓111は、例えば径方向視で長方形形状である。しかし、貫通窓111の形状は、長方形に限られず、円形や多角形等、種々の形状とできる。貫通窓111は、図2Bに示すように、芯部材11の軸方向一端部寄りの部分に形成される。 The core member 11 is formed with a through window 111. The through window 111 is a through hole that penetrates the core member 11 in a direction intersecting the axis of the core member 11. In the present embodiment, the through window 111 is formed so as to penetrate the core member 11 in the inner and outer directions, that is, in the radial direction of the core member 11. The through window 111 has, for example, a rectangular shape when viewed in the radial direction. However, the shape of the through window 111 is not limited to a rectangle, and may be various shapes such as a circle and a polygon. As illustrated in FIG. 2B, the through window 111 is formed in a portion near one end of the core member 11 in the axial direction.
 貫通窓111は、芯部材11における内面112(図2B参照)の総面積に比べ、可能な限り小さく形成しておくことが望ましい。貫通窓111の面積を小さくすることで、貫通窓111が包材12に与える影響を小さくすることができる。具体的には、芯部材11に巻き付けられた包材12における貫通窓111に対応した部分に、貫通窓111の面積を小さくした分、凹みを発生しにくくすることができる。そのため、包材12に、皺が発生したり、貫通窓111の跡が付いたりすることを軽減することができる。 The through window 111 is desirably formed as small as possible compared to the total area of the inner surface 112 (see FIG. 2B) of the core member 11. By reducing the area of the through window 111, the influence of the through window 111 on the packaging material 12 can be reduced. Specifically, the portion corresponding to the through window 111 in the packaging material 12 wound around the core member 11 can be made less likely to have a dent as the area of the through window 111 is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of wrinkles on the packaging material 12 or the trace of the through window 111.
 本実施形態では、貫通窓111の面積は、シート材情報部である後述の包材情報部13の面積よりも小さい。このように貫通窓111の面積を包材情報部13の面積よりも小さくすることで、貫通窓111が包材12に与える影響を小さくすることができる。 In the present embodiment, the area of the through window 111 is smaller than the area of a packaging material information unit 13 described later which is a sheet material information unit. Thus, by making the area of the through window 111 smaller than the area of the packaging material information unit 13, the influence of the through window 111 on the packaging material 12 can be reduced.
 ロール体1には、包材12に関する情報を示す包材情報部13が形成されている。包材12に関する情報としては、包材12の種類(例えば、材質や厚さ)が挙げられる。また包材12に関する情報としては、例えば、トレーサビリティに関連する情報、例えば包材12の製造ロット番号及び製造所の情報が挙げられる。 The roll body 1 is formed with a packaging material information section 13 indicating information about the packaging material 12. Examples of the information related to the packaging material 12 include the type (for example, material and thickness) of the packaging material 12. Examples of the information related to the packaging material 12 include information related to traceability, for example, a manufacturing lot number of the packaging material 12 and information on a manufacturing site.
 包材情報部13は、光学的に読み取り可能である。包材情報部13を光学的に読み取るための光は、可視光に限られず、例えば赤外線や紫外線であってもよい。包材情報部13は、印刷によって形成される。 The packaging material information unit 13 can be read optically. The light for optically reading the packaging material information unit 13 is not limited to visible light, and may be infrared light or ultraviolet light, for example. The packaging material information unit 13 is formed by printing.
 包材情報部13は、複数の要素が物理的(光学的または視覚的)に一つにまとまったものである。包材情報部13は、この包材情報部13の全体(つまり、前記複数の要素の一まとまり)で、包材12に関する情報を示す。換言すれば、包材情報部13は、この包材情報部13の一部(つまり、前記複数の要素のうち一つ以上の要素)が欠落すると、包材12に関する情報を示すことができなくなる。包材情報部13は、包材12に関する情報をコード化したものである。本実施形態では、包材情報部13として、二次元コード(「QRコード」(日本国における登録商標))が用いられる。したがって後述の読取部6として、汎用の手段を用いることができる。 The packaging material information unit 13 is a plurality of elements physically (optically or visually) combined into one. The packaging material information unit 13 indicates information related to the packaging material 12 as a whole of the packaging material information unit 13 (that is, a group of the plurality of elements). In other words, the packaging material information unit 13 cannot indicate information related to the packaging material 12 if a part of the packaging material information unit 13 (that is, one or more elements among the plurality of elements) is missing. . The packaging material information unit 13 encodes information related to the packaging material 12. In the present embodiment, a two-dimensional code (“QR code” (registered trademark in Japan)) is used as the packaging material information unit 13. Therefore, general-purpose means can be used as the reading unit 6 described later.
 包材情報部13は、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部の、貫通窓111に対応する部分と、芯部材11の内面112における貫通窓111に近接する部分とにわたって形成される。詳細に述べると、包材情報部13は、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部の、貫通窓111に対応する部分に形成される包材側表示部131と、芯部材11の内面112における貫通窓111に近接する部分に形成される芯部材側表示部132とによって構成されている。本実施形態では、包材情報部13は、図2Bに示すように、貫通窓111の縁部111aを、芯部材11の周方向に跨いでいる。 The packaging material information section 13 is formed across a portion corresponding to the through window 111 at a winding end portion of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11 and a portion near the through window 111 on the inner surface 112 of the core member 11. More specifically, the packaging material information unit 13 includes a packaging material side display unit 131 formed at a portion corresponding to the through window 111 at the end of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11, and the inner surface of the core member 11. 112 and a core member side display portion 132 formed in a portion close to the through window 111. In this embodiment, the packaging material information part 13 straddles the edge part 111a of the penetration window 111 in the circumferential direction of the core member 11, as shown in FIG. 2B.
 ロール体1を製造するにあたっては、まず芯部材11に包材12を巻き付ける。この後、印刷によって包材情報部13を形成する。このとき、包材情報部13を、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部の、貫通窓111に対応する部分と、芯部材11の内面112における貫通窓111に近接する部分とにわたって形成する。つまり、包材情報部13は、包材12の貫通窓111に対応する部分と、芯部材11の内面112における貫通窓111に近接する部分とに分断して形成される。 In manufacturing the roll body 1, the packaging material 12 is first wound around the core member 11. Thereafter, the packaging material information unit 13 is formed by printing. At this time, the packaging material information part 13 is formed over the part corresponding to the through window 111 and the part adjacent to the through window 111 on the inner surface 112 of the core member 11 at the end of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11. To do. That is, the packaging material information unit 13 is divided into a portion corresponding to the through window 111 of the packaging material 12 and a portion of the inner surface 112 of the core member 11 that is close to the through window 111.
 これらの工程によるロール体1の製造方法によれば、芯部材11に対する包材12の巻き付け作業を容易化することができる。包材情報部13の一部を予め包材12に形成し、この包材12を芯部材11に巻き付ける場合は、包材情報部13の一部を芯部材11の貫通窓111に位置合わせする必要がある。これに対して、本実施形態のロール体1の製造方法は、包材情報部13の一部と芯部材11の貫通窓111との位置合わせが不要であり、したがって芯部材11に対する包材12の巻き付け作業を容易化することができる。 According to the manufacturing method of the roll body 1 by these processes, the winding work of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11 can be facilitated. When a part of the packaging material information unit 13 is formed in advance on the packaging material 12 and the packaging material 12 is wound around the core member 11, a part of the packaging material information unit 13 is aligned with the through window 111 of the core member 11. There is a need. On the other hand, the manufacturing method of the roll body 1 of this embodiment does not require alignment of a part of the packaging material information unit 13 and the through window 111 of the core member 11, and therefore the packaging material 12 with respect to the core member 11. The winding work can be facilitated.
 図3は、ロール体1と保持部2との関係を示す概略的な斜視図である。図示しないが、芯部材11には、被係合部が設けられ、保持部2の軸部21には、芯部材11の被係合部に係合する係合部が設けられる。軸部21にロール体1の芯部材11が外嵌されたとき、軸部21の係合部が、芯部材11の被係合部に係合する。したがって芯部材11は、軸部21とともに回転する。 FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view showing the relationship between the roll body 1 and the holding unit 2. Although not shown, the core member 11 is provided with an engaged portion, and the shaft portion 21 of the holding portion 2 is provided with an engaging portion that engages with the engaged portion of the core member 11. When the core member 11 of the roll body 1 is externally fitted to the shaft portion 21, the engaging portion of the shaft portion 21 is engaged with the engaged portion of the core member 11. Accordingly, the core member 11 rotates together with the shaft portion 21.
 保持部2の軸部21には、この保持部2によって保持されているロール体1の包材情報部13を光学的に読み取る読取部6が設けられる。読取部6は、保持部2によって保持されているロール体1の芯部材11の内方に配置され、ロール体1の包材情報部13に対応するように設けられる。 The shaft portion 21 of the holding unit 2 is provided with a reading unit 6 that optically reads the packaging material information unit 13 of the roll body 1 held by the holding unit 2. The reading unit 6 is disposed inside the core member 11 of the roll body 1 held by the holding unit 2 and is provided so as to correspond to the packaging material information unit 13 of the roll body 1.
 読取部6は、包材12を使い切ったことを検知するための検知部8に接続される。本実施形態では、制御部7と検知部8とは一体に設けられている。しかしこれに限定されず、制御部7と検知部8とが別に設けられることもできる。 The reading unit 6 is connected to a detection unit 8 for detecting that the packaging material 12 has been used up. In the present embodiment, the control unit 7 and the detection unit 8 are provided integrally. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the control unit 7 and the detection unit 8 may be provided separately.
 制御部7は、読取部6による読取結果に基づいて、封止部5による熱圧着の温度を設定する。これによって包材12を、この包材12の種類に応じた温度で、熱圧着することができる。また検知部8は、読取部6による読取結果に基づいて、包材12を使い切ったことを検知する。具体的には、検知部8は、保持部2に保持されているロール体1から、包材12を引き出す引出動作中に、読取部6が包材情報部13を読み取った読取信号を受信すると包材12があると検知する。また、前記読取信号を受信しなくなると包材12がなくなったと検知するよう構成されている。 The control unit 7 sets the temperature of thermocompression bonding by the sealing unit 5 based on the reading result by the reading unit 6. Accordingly, the packaging material 12 can be thermocompression bonded at a temperature corresponding to the type of the packaging material 12. The detection unit 8 detects that the packaging material 12 has been used up based on the reading result by the reading unit 6. Specifically, when the detection unit 8 receives a reading signal obtained by the reading unit 6 reading the packaging material information unit 13 during the pulling-out operation of pulling out the packaging material 12 from the roll body 1 held by the holding unit 2. It is detected that there is the packaging material 12. Further, it is configured to detect that the packaging material 12 is lost when the read signal is not received.
 ロール体1が保持部2に装着されると、読取部6は、ロール体1の包材情報部13を読み取る。制御部7は、読取部6による読取結果に基づいて、封止部5による熱圧着の温度を設定する。包材12は、ロール体1から引き出され、半折り機構3を備える場合は半折り機構3によって半分に折られる。包材12の半折り部分には、ホッパー4を介して薬剤が投入される。この薬剤を、封止部5によって、包材12内に封止する。このとき、封止部5は、制御部7によって設定される熱圧着の温度で包材12を熱圧着する。薬剤包装装置は、ロール体1から包材12を引き出しながら、前述のような薬剤の投入及び封止を繰り返す。 When the roll body 1 is mounted on the holding unit 2, the reading unit 6 reads the packaging material information unit 13 of the roll body 1. The control unit 7 sets the temperature of thermocompression bonding by the sealing unit 5 based on the reading result by the reading unit 6. The packaging material 12 is drawn out from the roll body 1 and is folded in half by the half-folding mechanism 3 when the half-folding mechanism 3 is provided. The drug is put into the half-folded portion of the packaging material 12 through the hopper 4. This medicine is sealed in the packaging material 12 by the sealing portion 5. At this time, the sealing unit 5 performs thermocompression bonding of the packaging material 12 at the thermocompression bonding temperature set by the control unit 7. The medicine packaging device repeats the above-described medicine injection and sealing while drawing the packaging material 12 from the roll body 1.
 ロール体1から包材12が引き出されていくと、最後には、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部も引き出される。すると、包材側表示部131が芯部材11の貫通窓111に対応した位置から外れる。そのため、包材情報部13の一部である包材側表示部131が欠落し、読取部6が包材情報部13を読み取ることができなくなる。検知部8は、読取部6が包材情報部13を読み取ることができなくなったことをもって、包材12を使い切ったことを検知する。 When the packaging material 12 is pulled out from the roll body 1, finally, the winding end portion of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11 is also pulled out. Then, the packaging material side display part 131 comes off from the position corresponding to the through window 111 of the core member 11. Therefore, the packaging material side display unit 131 which is a part of the packaging material information unit 13 is lost, and the reading unit 6 cannot read the packaging material information unit 13. The detection unit 8 detects that the packaging material 12 has been used up when the reading unit 6 cannot read the packaging material information unit 13.
 このようにシート材切れ検知機構である包材切れ検知機構は、ロール体1、保持部2、包材情報部13、読取部6、検知部8により構成される。 Thus, the packaging material breakage detection mechanism, which is a sheet material breakage detection mechanism, includes the roll body 1, the holding unit 2, the packaging material information unit 13, the reading unit 6, and the detection unit 8.
 以上のような本実施形態によれば、包材情報部13が形成されている箇所は、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部の、貫通窓111に対応する部分及び芯部材11の内面112における貫通窓111に近接する部分である。読取部6は、包材情報部13に対応するように設けられる。したがって包材12を使い切る直前まで、読取部6が包材情報部13を読み取ることができる。そして、制御部7が封止部5を好適に制御することができる。 According to the present embodiment as described above, the portion where the packaging material information section 13 is formed is the portion of the packaging material 12 corresponding to the through window 111 and the portion of the winding end portion around the core member 11 of the core member 11. This is a portion of the inner surface 112 close to the through window 111. The reading unit 6 is provided so as to correspond to the packaging material information unit 13. Therefore, the reading unit 6 can read the packaging material information unit 13 until immediately before the packaging material 12 is used up. And the control part 7 can control the sealing part 5 suitably.
 包材情報部13の一部は、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部の、貫通窓111に対応する部分に形成されている。そのため、ロール体1から包材12が引き出されていくと、最後には、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部も引き出される。そして、包材情報部13の一部が、貫通窓111に対応した位置から外れて欠落する。すると、読取部6が包材情報部13を読み取ることができなくなる。 A part of the packaging material information part 13 is formed in a part of the packaging material 12 corresponding to the through window 111 at the end of the packaging material 12 wound around the core member 11. Therefore, when the packaging material 12 is pulled out from the roll body 1, the winding end portion of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11 is finally pulled out. And a part of the packaging material information part 13 comes off from the position corresponding to the through window 111 and is missing. Then, the reading unit 6 cannot read the packaging material information unit 13.
 この点を踏まえて、検知部8は、保持部2に保持されているロール体1から、包材12を引き出す引出動作中に、読取部6が包材情報部13を読み取った読取信号を受信すると包材12があると検知するよう構成されている。更に検知部8は、前記読取信号を受信しなくなると包材12がなくなったと検知するよう構成されている。このように検知部8は、読取部6が包材情報部13を読み取ることができなくなったことをもって、包材12を使い切ったことを検知することができる。したがって、包材12を使い切ったことを検知するための機械的な構成(例えば特許文献1に記載の「紙切れ検知ピン」等)を設ける必要がない。よって、故障し得る箇所を減少させられるため、故障の発生しにくい包材切れ検知機構とできる。 In consideration of this point, the detection unit 8 receives a reading signal obtained by the reading unit 6 reading the packaging material information unit 13 during the pulling-out operation of pulling out the packaging material 12 from the roll body 1 held by the holding unit 2. Then, it is comprised so that it may detect that the packaging material 12 exists. Furthermore, the detection part 8 is comprised so that it may detect that the packaging material 12 is lose | eliminated, when the said read signal is no longer received. As described above, the detection unit 8 can detect that the packaging material 12 has been used up when the reading unit 6 cannot read the packaging material information unit 13. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a mechanical configuration for detecting that the packaging material 12 has been used up (for example, the “paper breakage detection pin” described in Patent Document 1). Therefore, since the number of places where failure can occur is reduced, it is possible to provide a packaging material breakage detection mechanism in which failure is unlikely to occur.
 しかも包材情報部13は、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部の、貫通窓111に対応する部分と、芯部材11の内面112における貫通窓111に近接する部分とにわたって形成されている。したがって包材情報部13の寸法に関係なく、貫通窓111の面積を小さくすることができ、これによって貫通窓111が包材12に与える影響を小さくすることができる。 Moreover, the packaging material information part 13 is formed across the part corresponding to the through window 111 at the end of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11 and the part near the through window 111 on the inner surface 112 of the core member 11. Yes. Therefore, the area of the through window 111 can be reduced regardless of the size of the packaging material information unit 13, and thereby the influence of the through window 111 on the packaging material 12 can be reduced.

 包材情報部13を形成する方法としては、印刷以外の方法が用いられてもよい。光学的に読み取り可能な包材情報部13を形成することができる方法であれば、包材情報部13を形成する方法として、例えば蒸着やエッチングなどの、印刷の概念に当てはまらない種々の方法を採用することができる。また、印刷であっても、例えば、芯部材11及び包材12とは別に形成されたシールに包材情報部13を印刷し、このシールを包材12の貫通窓111に対応する部分と、芯部材11の内面112における貫通窓111に近接する部分とにわたって貼り付けることもできる。 As a method for forming the packaging material information unit 13, a method other than printing may be used. As long as it is a method capable of forming the optically readable packaging material information section 13, various methods that do not apply to the concept of printing, such as vapor deposition and etching, can be used as a method for forming the packaging material information section 13. Can be adopted. Further, even in printing, for example, the packaging material information part 13 is printed on a seal formed separately from the core member 11 and the packaging material 12, and the seal corresponds to the through window 111 of the packaging material 12, It can also be affixed over the inner surface 112 of the core member 11 and a portion close to the through window 111.
 包材12は、包材本体と、この包材本体の巻き始めの部分に取り付けられている、包材本体とは別の取付部とを有していてもよい。この場合、包材情報部13の一部である包材側表示部131は、取付部における貫通窓111に対応する部分に形成される。ロール体1から包材12が引き出されていくと、最後には、取付部も引き出され、取付部に形成されている包材側表示部131が芯部材11の貫通窓111に対応した位置から外れる。 The packaging material 12 may have a packaging material main body and an attachment portion that is attached to the winding start portion of the packaging material main body and is separate from the packaging material main body. In this case, the packaging material side display part 131 which is a part of the packaging material information part 13 is formed in the part corresponding to the penetration window 111 in an attachment part. When the packaging material 12 is pulled out from the roll body 1, finally, the mounting portion is also pulled out, and the packaging material side display portion 131 formed on the mounting portion is from a position corresponding to the through window 111 of the core member 11.

In this case, an ink ribbon is wound around a core member different from the core member 11 of the embodiment, and a roll body different from the roll body 1 of the embodiment is configured. An ink ribbon breakage detection mechanism is configured as the sheet material breakage detection mechanism.
 最後に、前記実施形態(変形した形態を含む)の構成及び作用についてまとめておく。前記実施形態は、筒状の芯部材11に包材12が巻き付けられて構成されたロール体1と、前記包材12を引き出せるように、前記ロール体1を保持する保持部2と、前記ロール体1に設けられ、前記包材12に関する情報を示す包材情報部13と、前記保持部2によって保持されている前記ロール体1の前記包材情報部13を光学的に読み取る読取部6と、前記読取部6による読取結果に基づいて、前記包材12を使い切ったことを検知する検知部8とを備え、前記芯部材11には、内外方向に貫通する貫通孔111が形成され、前記包材情報部13は、前記包材12における前記芯部材11への巻き付け端部の、前記貫通孔111に対応する部分と、前記芯部材11の内面112における前記貫通孔111に近接する部分とにわたって形成され、前記検知部8は、前記保持部2に保持されている前記ロール体1から、前記包材12を引き出す引出動作中に、前記読取部6が前記包材情報部13を読み取った読取信号を受信すると前記包材12があると検知し、前記読取信号を受信しなくなると前記包材12がなくなったと検知するよう構成されている包材切れ検知機構である。 Finally, the configuration and operation of the above embodiment (including modified embodiments) will be summarized. The embodiment includes a roll body 1 formed by wrapping a packaging material 12 around a cylindrical core member 11, a holding unit 2 that holds the roll body 1 so that the packaging material 12 can be pulled out, and the roll A packaging material information section 13 provided on the body 1 for indicating information about the packaging material 12, and a reading section 6 for optically reading the packaging material information section 13 of the roll body 1 held by the holding section 2. A detection unit 8 that detects that the packaging material 12 has been used up based on a result of reading by the reading unit 6, and the core member 11 is formed with a through hole 111 penetrating inward and outward, The packaging material information unit 13 includes a portion corresponding to the through-hole 111 at a winding end portion of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11, and a portion adjacent to the through-hole 111 on the inner surface 112 of the core member 11.

 芯部材11には、内外方向に貫通する貫通孔111が形成される。包材情報部13が形成されている箇所は、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部の、貫通孔111に対応する部分及び芯部材11の内面112における貫通孔111に近接する部分である。したがって包材12を使い切る直前まで、読取部6が包材情報部13を読み取ることができる。
 包材情報部13の一部は、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部の、貫通孔111に対応する部分に形成されている。そのため、ロール体1から包材12が引き出されていくと、最後には、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部も引き出される。すると、包材情報部13の一部が、貫通孔111に対応した位置から外れて欠落し、読取部6が包材情報部13を読み取ることができなくなる。
 この点を踏まえて、検知部8は、保持部2に保持されているロール体1から、包材12を引き出す引出動作中に、読取部6が包材情報部13を読み取った読取信号を受信すると包材12があると検知するよう構成されている。更に検知部8は、読取信号を受信しなくなると包材12がなくなったと検知するよう構成されている。このように検知部8は、読取部6が包材情報部13を読み取ることができなくなったことをもって、包材12を使い切ったことを検知することができる。特許文献1に記載の発明では「紙切れ検知ピン」による機械的な構成による検知がなされていたが、前記構成によると、包材12を使い切ったことを検知するための機械的な構成を設ける必要がない。このため、故障の発生しにくい包材切れ検知機構とできる。

A part of the packaging material information portion 13 is formed in a portion of the packaging material 12 corresponding to the through-hole 111 at the winding end portion around the core member 11. Therefore, when the packaging material 12 is pulled out from the roll body 1, the winding end portion of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11 is finally pulled out. Then, a part of the packaging material information unit 13 is removed from the position corresponding to the through hole 111 and is lost, and the reading unit 6 cannot read the packaging material information unit 13.
In consideration of this point, the detection unit 8 receives a read signal obtained by the reading unit 6 reading the packaging material information unit 13 during the pulling-out operation of pulling out the packaging material 12 from the roll body 1 held by the holding unit 2.

Furthermore, the detection part 8 is comprised so that it may detect that the packaging material 12 is lose | eliminated, when a read signal is no longer received. As described above, the detection unit 8 can detect that the packaging material 12 has been used up when the reading unit 6 cannot read the packaging material information unit 13. In the invention described in Patent Document 1, detection is performed by a mechanical configuration using a “paper breakage detection pin”, but according to the configuration, it is necessary to provide a mechanical configuration for detecting that the packaging material 12 has been used up. There is no. For this reason, it can be set as the packaging-material breakage detection mechanism which is hard to produce a failure.
In addition, the packaging material information section 13 is formed across the portion corresponding to the through hole 111 of the end portion of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11 and the portion of the inner surface 112 of the core member 11 adjacent to the through hole 111.

 前記構成によれば、ロール体1は、筒状の芯部材11に包材12が巻き付けられて構成されている。ロール体1には、包材12に関する情報を示す包材情報部13が形成されている。芯部材11には、内外方向に貫通する貫通孔111が形成される。包材情報部13が形成されている箇所は、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部の、貫通孔111に対応する部分及び芯部材11の内面112における貫通孔111に近接する部分である。したがって包材12を使い切る直前まで、包材情報部13を残すことができる。
 包材情報部13の一部は、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部の、貫通孔111に対応する部分に形成されている。そのため、ロール体1から包材12が引き出されていくと、最後には、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部も引き出される。そして、包材情報部13の一部が、貫通孔111に対応した位置から外れて欠落する。したがって包材情報部13を、包材12を使い切ったことを検知するためのものとしても利用することができる。
 しかもシート情報表示部は、包材12における芯部材11への巻き付け端部の、貫通孔111に対応する部分と、芯部材11の内面112における貫通孔111に近接する部分とにわたって形成されている。したがって情報表示部の寸法に関係なく、貫通孔111の面積を小さくすることができ、これによって貫通孔111が包材12に与える影響を小さくすることができる。
According to the said structure, the roll body 1 is comprised by the packaging material 12 being wound around the cylindrical core member 11. As shown in FIG. The roll body 1 is formed with a packaging material information section 13 indicating information about the packaging material 12. The core member 11 is formed with a through hole 111 penetrating in the inner and outer directions. The part where the packaging material information part 13 is formed is a part corresponding to the through hole 111 and a part adjacent to the through hole 111 on the inner surface 112 of the core member 11 at the end of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11. is there.

According to the above configuration, the cylindrical core member 11 is formed with the through hole 111 penetrating inward and outward. In manufacturing the roll body 1, first, the packaging material 12 is wound around the core member 11. Thereafter, the packaging material information portion 13 is formed over a portion corresponding to the through hole 111 of the end portion of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11 and a portion adjacent to the through hole 111 on the inner surface 112 of the core member 11. To do. Therefore, the winding operation of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11 can be facilitated.
When a part of the packaging material information part 13 is formed in advance on the packaging material 12 and the packaging material 12 is wound around the core member 11, a part of the packaging material information part 13 is aligned with the through hole 111 of the core member 11. There is a need. On the other hand, in the method as in the present invention, it is not necessary to align a part of the packaging material information section 13 with the through hole 111 of the core member 11, and therefore, the winding operation of the packaging material 12 around the core member 11 is performed. Can be facilitated.
 以上、前記実施形態は、包材12を使い切ったことを検知するための機械的な構成を設ける必要がなく、故障の発生しにくい包材切れ検知機構とできる。よって、機械的な構成を用いることなく、包材12を使い切ったことを簡便に検知することができる。 As described above, the embodiment does not need to be provided with a mechanical configuration for detecting that the packaging material 12 is used up, and can be a packaging material breakage detection mechanism that is unlikely to cause a failure. Therefore, it is possible to easily detect that the packaging material 12 has been used up without using a mechanical configuration.
