Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a label accumulating device following a printing press.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, label stacking devices of this type are attached to printing machines that use sheet paper.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the case of a printing machine that uses sheets of paper, there are disadvantages in that the mechanisms for separating and feeding sheets, etc. tend to be complicated, and high speeds may not be achieved.

[Means for solving problems]

The purpose of the present invention is to solve these inconveniences, and its gist is to accumulate sheet labels W punched from strip-shaped printed material 1 that is continuously fed. A cylindrical member is provided that separates the label W from the strip-shaped printing material 1 by suction and transfers the label W by rotation, and an annular groove is formed on the outer peripheral surface of this cylindrical member to place the label W that has been transferred by rotation and suction. A mounting plate 40 is provided opposite to the cylindrical member, and the leading end of the mounting plate 40 is set within the annular groove of the cylindrical member, and the front end of the label W is placed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member. The present invention relates to a label stacking device characterized in that a label receiving stage part 18 is formed to receive and abut the label receiving part 18, and the depth of this label receiving stage part 18 is set to approximately the thickness of the label W.

[Effect]

The front end of the label is received and abutted on a label receiving stage having a depth approximately equal to the label thickness, and the label is transferred by rotational suction. The labels are accumulated on the mounting plate.

When the label is received and brought into contact with this placement plate, the front end of the label is almost flush with the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member, so it does not interfere with the label already placed on the placement plate.

〔Example〕

1 to 6 show embodiments of the present invention, 1
is a strip-shaped printing material, and the strip-shaped printing material 1 is pulled out from the original fabric 3 in the machine body 2 and printed by the printing mechanism 4. In this case, the first punching section 5 cuts the middle holes 6 of five rows of labels W. During punching, the punched piece 7 in the inner hole 6 is blown away with air, the outer shape of the label W is punched out in the second punching part 8, and the label W is continuously fed.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a separation mechanism, in which a rotating shaft 11 is provided at a separation position 10 between the strip-shaped printed material 1 and the label W punched from the strip-shaped printed material 1, and the rotating shaft 11 is connected to a gear 1.
2 and 13 so as to be rotatable, and the rotary shaft 11 has 5
A plurality of cylindrical mounting members 14 are fixed in parallel, and an annular fixing member 16 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of each mounting member 14 via a bearing 15. Separation members 17 are fixed in a close contact state and located inside the width of the label W (therefore, an annular groove referred to in the claims is formed between these separation members 17). A label receptacle 18 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the label holder 18 to be able to receive eight labels W and has a depth approximately equal to the label thickness, and a connection port 19 connected to a negative pressure source (not shown) is formed in the fixing member 16. At the same time, an elongated through hole 20 is formed in accordance with the suction area, and a communication path 21 is formed that allows communication between the connecting port 19 and the elongated through hole 20. A suction hole 22 for suctioning the front (in this case the back) of the label W in the transport direction is formed between the outer peripheral surface and the inner surface at a position that can face the elongated through hole 20.

Reference numeral 23 is a suction area variable mechanism, in which the fixed member 1
An arm 24 is formed protruding from the arm 24, an adjustment bolt 25 is hung between the arm 24 and the fuselage 2, and a nut 26
Adjust the fixing position of the fixing member 16 with the adjusting nut 27, change the position of the through hole 20, and start suction.
The configuration is such that the ending position can be varied.

Reference numeral 28 is a suction position variable mechanism, in which a bearing body 29 is provided on the machine body 2, a rotary shaft 11 is provided on the bearing body 29 so as to be rotatable and movable in the axial direction, and an adjustment cylinder 30 and a nut body 31 are screwed onto the bearing body 29. The adjustment tube 30 and the end of the rotation shaft 11 are connected to each other, and the rotation shaft 11 is provided to be movable in the axial direction by rotation of the adjustment tube 30.

Reference numeral 32 denotes a stacking section, which is provided at a stacking position 33. A mounting member 37 is provided on the machine body 2 so that its inclination can be adjusted using a bolt 35 and an elongated hole 36 around a pin 34. A partition member 39 with partition plates 38 erected thereon is fixed, a comb-shaped mounting plate 40 provided between the partition plates 38 is positioned between five sets of separation members 17, and the protruding tip of the mounting plate 40 is Five regulating members 41 are provided on the mounting member 37, facing into the annular groove formed between the pair of separation members 17, and movable with a label W.

Reference numeral 42 denotes a discharging mechanism, which is provided with a guide roller 41 above the separation position 10 and a winding roller 45 for winding up the strip-shaped waste material 44 that is discharged via the guide roller 43.

Since this embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, when the strip-shaped printing material 1 from which the label W has been punched is sent to the separation position 10, the front end of the label W is attached to the label receiving stage part 1.
8, the suction hole 22 and the elongated through hole 20 are connected, and the back surface of the front end of the label W is suctioned to the outer peripheral surface of the separation member 17 of the separation mechanism 9 through the connection port 19 and the communication path 21, and the label W is separated. The strip-shaped waste material 44 is rotated and transferred from the separation position 10 to the collection position 33 while being attracted by the rotation of the member 17, and from which the label W has been removed. The connection between the hole 20, the separation member 17, and the suction hole 22 is cut off, and the front end of the label W comes into contact with the upper surface of the comb-like mounting plate 40, and is warped and stands up, away from the outer peripheral surface of the separation member 17, and is accumulated. It is placed on the mounting member 37 of the section 32 and held by the regulating member 41, and the regulating member 41 is pushed back by the labels W, so that the labels W can be stacked in parallel in the vertical direction.

In this case, since the label W is received in the label receiving stage 18 having a depth approximately equal to the label thickness, it is possible to prevent interference between the label W being rotatably suction-transferred and the label W already placed on the mounting plate 40. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention allows labels to be rotatably suction-transferred from a separation position to a collection position by the separation member of the separation mechanism, and the strip-shaped waste can be discharged by the discharge mechanism, so that the label can be placed on the placement member of the collection unit without any hindrance. It is possible to perform parallel integration in an extremely good manner without causing any problems, and it is possible to speed up the integration work.
