Description

The present invention relates to a labeling machine.

In a typical labeling apparatus, when the main switch is turned on, the main power supply is turned on, and power is supplied to the main control section, the printing mechanism section, the labeling mechanism section, and the like (see Patent Document 1).

In the maintenance work of the labeling apparatus, the frequency of cleaning and replacing parts such as the thermal head and platen of the printing mechanism, and adjustment and cleaning of sensors is high.

There is known a printer with an internal illumination that facilitates visual confirmation of the inside and facilitates maintenance work such as cleaning and parts replacement (see, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2002-200023).

JP 2017-036093 A JP 2012-096389 A

However, in a general labeling machine, for example, in a large factory, the labeling machine is incorporated into a part of a large production line, so that the machine alone cannot be stopped for maintenance or the like.
Also, if the main power is turned off once and then turned on again after maintenance is completed, it takes a relatively long time to recover to a state in which normal label printing and labeling can be performed. , can affect the entire line.

Also, in a factory, the labeling machine may be part of a line and therefore subject to space constraints. As a result, it may be placed in a state where maintenance is difficult, or the operation display unit for power supply control may not be nearby.

Also, in the labeling device, the print head of the printing mechanism is separated from the platen roller while the main power supply is turned on without turning off the label paper to set the label paper in the device or to clean the print head. Maintenance such as cleaning may be performed. In this case, since the main power supply is on, the suction fan of the labeling mechanism continues to operate, and the rotation shaft of the suction fan and the support member that supports the rotation shaft are quickly consumed, and the operation of the suction fan wastes power. There is a possibility that problems such as being consumed may occur.

After the power is turned on, the control unit takes a long time before it can be operated because of complicated processes such as internal programs of the machine.
Therefore, there is a demand for a labeling apparatus that takes less time to recover to a state where normal label issuing processing and labeling processing can be performed after completion of maintenance, and that suppresses wasteful power consumption during maintenance.

<Label sticking mechanism unit 120>
The label attaching mechanism unit 120 attaches a label on which product information and the like are printed by the printing mechanism unit 110 to the object W to be attached.

The labeling mechanism section 120 is provided with an elastic cylindrical member 121 (labeling section) made of a resin material or the like so as to be vertically movable under the control of the control device 10 . In this embodiment, the labeling mechanism section 120 employs an air drive type. Note that the labeling mechanism section 120 may be of a motor-driven type.

A body portion 120B of the label sticking mechanism portion 120 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and arranged so as to be adjacent to the printing mechanism portion 110 . As shown in FIG. 3, an opening 120p is provided in the upper surface of the main body 120B. The elastic cylindrical member 121 has its upper end positioned inside the body portion 120B during standby, and rises through the opening 120p during labeling operation, so that the label L is placed on the object W to be affixed. It is configured to be pressed against to apply the label.

The tubular member 121 is provided at the tip of the piston rod 122 of the air cylinder 123 .
The label application mechanism 120 is controlled by the control device 10 so that high-pressure air from a high-pressure air source (not shown) is input and output to and from the air cylinder 123 at predetermined timings through a pneumatic circuit (not shown). , the piston rod 122 is configured to move up and down.
It should be noted that the labeling mechanism section 120 may adopt a driving device using other gas instead of the high-pressure air described above.

The body portion 120B of the labeling mechanism portion 120 is provided with an opening 120h in the lower portion of the side surface, etc., and a label suction fan 145 is provided in the vicinity of the inside of the opening 120h. When the label suction fan 145 is in operation, the air inside the body portion 120B is exhausted to the outside of the body portion 120B, and the inside of the body portion 120B becomes a negative pressure state. Air is sucked into the main body 120B from the opening 120p on the upper surface of the main body 120B, and the label L issued by the printing mechanism 110 is sucked toward the main body 120B.
That is, the label L can be reliably held at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the body portion 120B of the label attaching mechanism portion 120, and the label L can be made to wait at a predetermined position.

Although not shown, power can be supplied as appropriate even when a bar code checker or the like is installed in the labeling apparatus 100 as an option.
The external power supply 900 is, for example, an AC power supply such as 100V or 200V.
Further, the main power supply circuit 143 (main power supply section) converts electric power from an external power supply 900 such as a commercial power supply into a predetermined voltage or the like, and controls the control device 10 , the control section 131 , the ROM 132 , the RAM 133 , the display operation section 134 . etc. may be supplied.

<Control of power supply>
In addition, the power supply control unit 141 stops and operates the label suction fan 145 from the main power supply circuit 143 (main power supply unit) according to a signal indicating the detection result of the print head opening/closing detection unit 142 or the control of the control unit 131 . It controls power supply such as energization and cutoff of the print head 16 (thermal head) and power limitation of the label feeding motor 146 .
More specifically, for example, when the print head opening/closing detection unit 142 receives a signal indicating that the print head unit is open, the power supply control unit 141 operates the label suction fan 145, the print head 16, and the label feeding motor of the label transport unit 14. 146 power supply is stopped.

A stepping motor, for example, can be used as the label feed motor 146 . In this case, for example, when the print head open/close detection unit 142 receives a signal indicating that the print head is in a head-up state, the power control unit 141 may control the power supply so as to weaken the excitation of the stepping motor. good.

<Control program>
The control unit 131 (CPU) comprehensively controls each component of the control device 10 and each component of the labeling device 100 . The control unit 131 implements the functions of the labeling apparatus according to the present invention by executing programs stored in the ROM 132 and the RAM 133 as storage units, for example.

The ROM 132 (storage unit) stores a control program (program) for controlling the labeling apparatus 100, various parameters used for control, product information, and the like.
The RAM 133 (storage unit) is used as a work area for the control unit 131 and the like.
Since the control device 10 is composed of a CPU, a ROM 132, a RAM 133, and the like, it takes a long time to process, and it has the disadvantage that it cannot be used immediately after the power is turned on.

The display/operation unit 134 includes, for example, a touch panel with a display device and a key input unit 134a, and outputs signals to the control unit 131 according to operations by the operator. Note that the display operation unit 134 may have a display device and an operation input unit provided separately.

The label pitch detection unit 135 is a detection device that detects the pitches (intervals in the longitudinal direction) of a plurality of labels attached to a long mount, and outputs a signal indicating the detection result to the control unit 131 . As the label pitch detection unit 135, for example, an optical sensor or an imaging device can be adopted.

The label mount winding motor 136 is a motor for driving the roller 12 r for winding the mount (label mount), and is driven and controlled by the control unit 131 .

The label detection sensor 137 is provided, for example, on the upper surface of the body portion 120B of the label attaching mechanism portion 120, detects labels printed and issued by the printing mechanism portion 110, and outputs a signal indicating the detection result to the control portion 131. output to

For example, when the print head opening/closing detection unit 142 as a stop instruction detection unit detects a stop instruction, the power supply control unit 141 supplies power from the main power supply circuit 143 (main power supply unit) to the control unit 131 (main control unit 1). In the state where the power is supplied, the power supply to the printing mechanism 110, the label conveying unit 14, or the label pasting mechanism 120 is controlled to stop or suppress all or part of the mechanism. A detailed operation of the power control unit 141 will be described later.

Suppression here means not only turning on or off the supply of electricity (electricity), but also suppressing the amount of electricity (electricity) supply to allow weak electricity to flow, and although not completely stopping it, it is faster than normal transportation speed. Also includes slowing down the speed and slowing down the rotation of the fan.

Also, a combination of controlling power supply from the main power circuit 143 (main power supply unit) to the label suction fan 145, the print head 16 (thermal head), and the label feeding motor 146 may be determined by setting the control device 10.

Any combination may be used.
Parts that require maintenance can be used until the end of their service life, while others must be replaced at a fixed frequency. be.

In addition, due to the above-mentioned restrictions on the installation location, maintenance work is required, but the work is difficult, so if you do not want to perform replacement work as much as possible, you may want to actively control the power supply and extend the durable life.
From such a point of view, it is also possible to set the control of the power supply according to the judgment of the user.

The print head opening/closing detection unit 142 detects, for example, when the print head 16 of the movable portion 17B is separated from the platen roller 15 of the fixed portion 17A of the print head opening/closing mechanism 17 of the printing mechanism portion 110 by a predetermined distance or more. When the print head 16 is in close proximity and presses the platen roller 15 via the label paper (print head closed state), A signal to that effect is output to the power control unit 141 and the control unit 131 as cancellation of the stop instruction (non-stop instruction).

As described above, the main power supply circuit 143 (main power supply unit) converts the power from the external power supply 900 such as a commercial power supply into a predetermined voltage or the like, and appropriately supplies it to each component of the labeling apparatus.

The power switch 144 (main switch) is a switch operated by an operator when turning the main power circuit 143 on or off.
