Description

Printing equipment
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of label printing appts, relate in particular to a kind of continuous paper roll of supplying with when feed shaft when being made into a large amount of label relevant with dissimilar product items, classifying, these relate to the label printing appts of numerous labels of dissimilar product items.
Background technology
As everyone knows, clothes and similar products will stick the label of brand, Article Number, size and price about clothes.
The label printing appts that a kind of continuous paper of the paper roll form that the feed shaft member is supplied with is made a large amount of labels is arranged to the predetermined format of printing on every label, and the continuous paper that then has predetermined length after the printing is sheared the label that parts are cut into appropriate length.
After shearing manipulation was finished, the label that is cut into was stacked into predetermined number by the stack device that is called " stacker " usually, and then manual sort uses.
In printing operation, be not always to need to print on a large amount of labels that identical format rolls into to all from same continuous paper.Because same clothes have different colors and size, may need to change print format in the centre of continuous paper.
So, a large amount of labels are classified, the position was because of ought being easily when the print format of finding out a pile label in the stacker changed.
So, common way is: when print format changed, the position of having moved from the normal cutoff position cut off label, is used for producing a short label and a long label.When label piled up in stacker, long label was given prominence to outside the good label of heap (having piled the upstream face that feeds direction of label), thereby can differentiate this position.
Yet a problem of this operation is corresponding two label waste with one is long and the other is short, and can have problems when label piles up in stacker.
In order to overcome this problem, for example Japanese patent laid-open No. sho and 59 (1984)-1288 discloses a kind of label printing appts, comprises that mark brushing parts and one have the data input circuit of the control assembly that is used for controlling label printing machine.When the format on being printed on continuous paper changes, give printing equipment a control input, by the control that the driving of mark brushing parts is operated, brushing pigment is to the end face of continuous paper.
Label printing appts needs an accurate control to begin to print and shear the means of the time of continuous paper.Normally arrange with the spaced sunk part of tag width, by detecting the means of sunk part wherein, the time that allows control to begin to print and shear continuous paper in the both sides of the width of continuous paper.
This just provides a kind of structure, and a large amount of labels that pile up in the stacker are classified.Yet, sometimes must distinguish the situation of a large amount of labels not only when print format changes, even the print format of a large amount of labels is identical, in client's difference (clothes, warehouse etc.) or also must distinguish a large amount of labels according to consign under the situation that the client produces number of tags at every turn.Latter instance also needs mark.
When common label printing appts or similar device operation, have only when print format changes, mark just is brushed on the end face of continuous paper.This just can not cause inconvenience according to the selectable brushing mark of various classification situations.
For this situation, in common label printing appts, requirement will be input to for the state that classification is arranged in the input circuit of control assembly of label printing appts, and this can make system become complicated.
In addition, when the number of brushing mark increases according to various classification situations, allow identification, but the classification reason of position is not provided, caused inconvenience the brushing mark position.
Yet because pass through sunk part control that detection is arranged in continuous paper width both sides and begin the time method of printing and beginning to shear common, the brushing mark is to continuous paper the time, and sunk part is interfered and has caused the problem that is difficult to correct brushing mark.
Summary of the invention
For addressing the above problem proposition the present invention.The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of label printing appts, not only can find out the position of classification, and when a large amount of labels pile up in the label stacker, can recognize classification according to the various predetermined set of using about label, and can the brushing mark to the end face of continuous paper.
As a first aspect of the present invention, a kind of label printing appts that is used for making a large amount of labels is provided, the continuous paper that the paper roll form of being supplied with by the feed shaft member is arranged, be arranged to be scheduled to format and be printed onto every the label that forms on the described continuous paper, wherein have the printed continuous paper of predetermined length to be sheared into suitable tag length (being the spacing of the perforation on the detected continuous paper) by shearing parts by printing unit;
Described label printing appts is characterised in that and comprises:
Mark brushing parts between printing unit and shearing parts, are used for the end face of brushing mark to continuous paper, allow brushing that the mark of a large amount of colors is arranged;
Detecting sensor is used to detect the label hole that is formed on the label, makes a cord pass each label on the continuous paper;

When continuous paper 14 was put into by feeding-passage, last guide member 32 can be placed to position upwards.
Printing unit 18 comprises at least one thermal printer head 28 and a cylinder 40, is compacted continuous paper 14 between them.One Chinese stick band 42 is between thermal printer head 38 and continuous paper 14.China ink is with 42 by 44 releases of China ink band supply part, passes printing unit 18, is then received around volume 46 by the China ink band and hoists.
China ink can move with the charge motion of continuous paper 14 and the rolling of cylinder 40 with 42.Because the China ink band is presented by device, can uninterruptedly printing on continuous paper 14.
As printing process, various printing processes such as thermal printing process, electrostatic methods, ink ejecting method and magnetic drum bump method etc. all are applicable to the present invention.This detailed description of preferred embodiment is with reference to the sensible heat method.
When first detecting sensor 50 sensed arbitrary label hole 48, the control assembly 24 that is provided at label printing appts 10 began to add up the pulse number that offers impulse motor 52.The predetermined pulse number that obtains when statistics reaches printing starting position and first detecting sensor, 50 location gap when corresponding fixed value, driving printing unit 18.Control the driving timing of printing unit 18 in such a way.
After the print format that requires is printed parts 18 and prints to continuous paper 14, be sent to through mark brushing parts 22 and shear parts 20, be cut into the label of suitable length.
Shear parts 20 and have a rotatable cutter 54 and a fixing bottom knife 56.Second detecting sensor 58 that can detect the label hole 48 on the continuous paper 14 is provided near the upstream position of shearing parts 20.
When the label hole 48 on being arranged on each label was sensed by second detecting sensor, control assembly 24 can calculate the predetermined number of the pulse (step) that offers impulse motor 52.When the predetermined pulse number that calculates reached printing starting position and second detecting sensor, 58 location gap from corresponding fixed value, control drove shearing parts 20.The driving timing of parts is sheared in control in such a way.
A large amount of labels 11 that shearing parts 20 cut are discharged by exit passageway 74 by exit passageway roller 75.Label enters stacker 12 subsequently and piles up in heaps.
As shown in Figure 2, stacker 12 has one and piles up frame 60; A base plate 62 that is used for loading label 11; A baffle plate 64 (as shown in Figure 1) can be free to slide on base plate 62, and contacts with the far-end of label 11 feedstock directions; And a holding components 66, be used for supporting label 11 to drop to base plate 62 from the top.
And a holding components 66, be used for supporting label 11 to drop to base plate 62 from the top.
In the predetermined distance of the upper surface of the base plate 62 of distance stacker 62, near label printing appts 10, carry-over pinch rolls 68 and a circulation moving belt 72 are arranged, there is motor to drive (drawing on the figure) and rotates along arrow 70 directions.Label 11 leaves from the exit passageway 74 of label printing appts 10 successively, and in carry-over pinch rolls 68 and 72 extruding of circulation moving belt, label 11 is drawn to label stacked position 62A thus.Illustrational label 11 is inserted into base plate 62 and has been positioned at slit between the bottommost of the good label of base plate 62 heaps, and label just touches the baffle plate 64 that extends vertically upward from base plate 62 at the edge of feedstock direction like this.Because printed label 11 is transmitted by label printing appts 10, label 11 just continues to be stacked on the base plate 62 of stacker 12 like this.
The base plate 62 of stacker 12 has sliding tray 76 that two parallel label 11 feedstock directions form and one to be positioned at 76 of two sliding trays and parallel engagement groove 78.Every sliding tray 76 can engages stop plate 64 the bossing (drawing) that forms of the both sides of bottom.Because baffle plate 64 is by two sliding trays 76 guiding, and engage, so can be along label 11 feedstock direction parallel sliding with the sawtooth stop mechanism 79 that forms on the engagement groove 78.Further, can be positioned on the accurate position.
Mark 89 is that a kind of measurer is used for accurately baffle plate 64 being positioned at the appropriate location.
Support component 66 is used for supporting label 11 to drop to base plate 62 from the top, and has a vertical extended slot 84 that has directing pin 82.Pin 82 extends through at vertical extended slot 84 of support component 66 and in the vertical channel 80 of piling up frame 60, connects support component 66 and piles up frame 60.So support component 66 just can move according to the height of label 11 heaps.
Further, because support component 66 is supported the above-mentioned pin 82 that passes vertical extended slot 84 of support component 66, support component 66 can move along the feedstock direction of label 11.Therefore support component 66 can support to pile good label 11 from above be pressed under the whole lip-deep roughly the same pressure of label 11 and descend.Helping to prevent to pile good label 11 like this falls.
As shown in Figure 1, be used for mark brushing parts 22 at the end coating mark of continuous paper 14 to be provided at printing unit 18 and to shear between the parts 20, comprise a plurality of ink roller arrangements 86,87.In Fig. 1 of the embodiment that gives an example, two cover ink roller arrangements 86 and 87 have been shown.However, it also is understandable providing the ink roller arrangement of any amount. Ink roller arrangement 86 and 87 contains the ink of different colours separately, and the ink of the different colours that provides respectively depends on the quantity of ink roller arrangement.For example, in the embodiment that two cover ink roller arrangements are provided, the ink roller arrangement can provide the ink of red and black, and is positioned between printing unit 18 and the shearing parts 20 label 11 carried out mark.In the embodiment that three cover ink roller arrangements are being arranged, that three kinds of ink roller arrangements can provide is for example red, black and yellow ink, and mark brushing parts just can be with three kinds of color brushing marks like this.
As shown in Figure 3, ink roller unit 86,87 comprises at least one control lever parts 90, an ink roller 92 and a solenoid 88 that is fixed on the horizontal component 94A of L shaped plate 94, and L shaped plate 94 is fixed on the support frame 97 of label printing appts 10.Control lever parts 90 are configured to comprise a U-shaped support component 90A and a control lever 90B who loads ink roller 92, by pin 96 pivotal support of extending from the vertical component 94B of L shaped plate 94.When the bottom surface of U-shaped support component 90A was withstood in the piston 88A of solenoid 88 extension, the control lever parts 90 that are pivotally connected on the pin 96 rotated along the arrow B direction, and ink roller 92 contacts with the end face 14a of the continuous paper 14 that sends.
In the present embodiment, a slot-open-section 98 is arranged on the horizontal component 94A of L shaped plate 94, and the bottom of pivot control lever 90B contacts with the inwall of slot-open-section 98, thus the rotary impact of lever for adjusting oil 90B.
In this way, ink roller 92 rotates to the end face 14a of continuous paper 14 and contacts.In addition, the direction away from continuous paper 14 applies a biasing force to spring 100 in U-shaped support component 90A upper edge.Thereby when the piston 88A of solenoid 88 is withdrawn into 88 li on solenoid, be pivotally connected to control lever parts 90 on the pin 96 along the rotation of arrow A direction, ink roller 92 separates with continuous paper 14.
When control assembly 24 receive execution brushing mark that computer sends in line the time, mark brushing parts 22 carry out timing with regard to the predetermined length of 86,87 of controlled reference first detecting sensor 50 and each ink roller arrangements to the driving of first, second ink roller arrangement 86,87, thereby ink is adhered to the end face 14a of continuous paper 14.
Further, the upstream one side detection that is set to first detecting sensor 50 when punching hole detecting sensor 102 is formed under the situation of the punching hole 104 (with reference to figure 4) on the continuous paper 14, and printing unit 18 and first, second ink roller arrangement 86,87 also can drive as described above.Particularly, when punching hole detecting sensor 102 detects punching hole 104, show that the signal that punching hole 104 has been detected is transferred to control assembly 24, can not cause that printing unit 18 carries out printing operation on the part of the continuous paper 14 that punching hole 104 is arranged, but cause arbitrary ink roller arrangement 86,87 brushing mark on the end face 14a of continuous paper 14.
As shown in Figure 4, the rear end of the continuous paper 14 in the paper roll supplied with of existing feed shaft member 16 and the front end that will be put into next new volume continuous paper 14 that feed shaft member 16 supplies with are connected together by a piece band 106 and form a coupling part.
Connection label 11A corresponding to the coupling part is formed with a punching hole 104, is used for avoiding printing unit 18 to print in the above.Just why when piling, label 11 is easy to distinguish the reason that connects label in stacker 12.
In addition, connect label 11A existence can by with the online position diverse location that receives the consistent mark of computer instruction on mark differentiated.
Fig. 5 is the block diagram of the control assembly 24 that provides of the label printing appts 10 of explanation equipment stacker 12.
Be connected with 112 and RAM of a ROM (read-only storage) (random access memory) 114 by common bus 110 with reference to 5, one CPU (CPU) 108 of figure.ROM 112 comprises program storage area 116 and the permanent storage area 118,120 of storing the fixed reference N1, the N2 that are used for controlling solenoid 88 respectively.RAM 114 comprises that 122, one of at least one bar printing data storage areas are used for adding up the counting memory block of counter 124 of the number of printed label, and the step counter 126 of the number of a driving pulse (step) that is used for adding up impulse motor 52.
In addition, first detecting sensor 50, be used for detecting second detecting sensor 58, printing control circuit 128, motor drive circuit 130, circuits for triggering 132 and the data input circuit 134 of beating the label hole 48 on continuous paper 14 and also be connected with common bus 110.Solenoid drive circuit 133 is connected with circuits for triggering 132.Printing control circuit 128 is provided to be controlled at the thermal printer head 38 of carrying out printing on the continuous paper 14, and motor drive circuit 130 is provided to driving pulse motor 52.

After this manner, just provide a kind of classification to pile up the configuration of a large amount of labels 11 of 12 li of stackers.Yet a large amount of label 11 of classifying not only needs when print format changes, even and if the identical but End-Customer (clothing, shop etc.) of the print format of a large amount of labels 11 change or transport at every turn that number of labels to the client changes and the time also need.In this case, also need mark.
Like this, can manage the relevant information of the label 11 that will make in view of computer 26, the various information that also can store each product category are convenient to classification to product, preferred mode is to provide the instruction of carrying out marking operation by computer, so just can allow provides mark according to the various aspects of classification, but not the change requirement of print format.
Describe the operator scheme of above-mentioned label printing appts 10 below in detail.
The rotation of the cylinder 40 that impulse motor 52 drives is sent to feeding-passage with continuous paper 14 from feed shaft 16.Then, along with continuous paper 14 is sent to feeding-passage, the label hole 48 that is provided on the continuous paper 14 can be detected by first detecting sensor 50.After the pulsed drive of detection signal output and impulse motor 52 scheduled numbers, checking that thermal printer head 38 is in needs on the label 11 desired positions of printing information (identical with first kind of print format) to the continuous paper 14.Information is printed on the there then.
Each each label 11 is printed successively, and counter 124 is just added up the number of printed label 11.When counter 124 reached the predetermined value of label 11 numbers that equal to be scheduled to, printing operation (printing is about the information of first kind of print format) just finished.Similarly, the operation of printing next amount labels 11 information of second kind of print format (printing about) begins immediately.
Second detecting sensor 58 detects by each label hole 48 on the printed continuous paper 14 of printing unit.
After the pulse (step) of detection signal output and impulse motor 52 scheduled numbers drives, check that shearing parts 20 correctly are positioned on the clipped position of 11 on first label 11 on the continuous paper 14 and second label.Then first label 11 and second label 11 are sheared parts 20 cut-outs.Next label 11 is cut off successively, then piles heap for 12 li at stacker.
In above-mentioned printing operation, the instruction of the execution marking operation that computer 26 provides is imported in the control assembly 24.In the above-mentioned printing control stage, marking operation is added in the centre of above-mentioned printing control procedure.
Like that, ink roller arrangement 86,87 just is operated.
Following explanation is the instruction that changes the execution marking operation of computer-chronograph 26 outputs about print format.
Fig. 6 has shown the details that stores the data format of information, comprises under the situation of the execution marking operation instruction of working as print format change needs the operation when control assembly 24 provides printing control at the same time.Two groups of printed datas 135 have been shown among Fig. 6, respectively about printing to the different types of printing information on the label 11.Mark brushing data 136 and enumeration data 137 have also been shown.
Consistent with the single step rotary manipulation of impulse motor 52, start an interrupt operation, and check that it is whether synchronous with the output signal that first sensor 50 provides.When first sensor 50 output signals, step counter 126 is reset.In this state,, ink roller arrangement 86 can provide mark to the position of the end face 14A of continuous paper 14 even being positioned at, and as described below, at this moment can not provide mark.When reaching fixing reference value N1, the value (after this being called " counting ") of step counter 126 makes marks.Mark calls it quits when the counting of step counter 126 reaches fixing reference value N2.Yet when first detecting sensor 50 did not provide output signal, step counter 126 also increased an increment.
In addition, need to carry out an inspection, see whether the counting of step counter 126 is consistent with the fixed reference N1 in the fixed storage zone 118 and 120.If count consistently, to check also in printing operation whether the mark brushing data 136 relevant with printed data 135 and enumeration data 137 have been set as to patrol signal " 1 " with fixed reference N1.If mark brushing data 136 have been set as logical signal " 1 ", trigger 132 is set then mark brushing data is set as logical signal " 0 " so, setting solenoid simultaneously becomes state of activation, thereby ink roller arrangement 86 is contacted with the end face 14A of continuous paper 14.
Further, need to carry out an inspection, see whether the counting of step counter 126 is consistent with the fixed reference N2 in the fixed storage zone 118 and 120.If count consistent with fixed reference N2, the activation of reset trigger circuit 132 removed from solenoid, thus make ink roller arrangement 86 pivots leave the end face 14A of continuous paper 14.So, when a large amount of labels 11 piled in stacker 12, on the position that the printing format changes, a mark M (as shown in Figure 1) can be coated onto on the side of label 11.The position that print format is changed can be found.
Carry out the instruction of marking operation and also can react print format other changes in addition, for example change of End-Customer.The main result of same operation as mentioned above.
There are the mark brushing parts 22 of a plurality of ink rollers 86,87 of different ink colors to make following operation become possibility, promptly for different types of client, brushing is red is marked on numerous labels as main classification, and the mark of brushing black is as less important classification under the situation that changes print format.After this manner, provide the position that not only can discern but also can classify according to different predetermined set.
In the present invention, carry out printing unit, shear the operation timing of parts, mark brushing parts can applying label on the testing result control in label hole.In this method, owing to needn't form sunk part at the end face of continuous paper like that to traditional method, making at the exact position of continuous paper execution marking operation becomes possibility.
In addition, although the above embodiments have indicated the mark brushing examples of members that adopts the ink roller with different colours,, this does not limit and above-mentioned specific situation because of being appreciated that embodiment.Also can adopt inkpad, color pencil, writing brush to obtain the appropriate time and the length of brushing mark.
When a large amount of labels pile up in the stacker, but the recognizing site that foundation label printing appts of the present invention not only can obtain to classify, and the device predetermined information of the different purposes of can classifying, brushing mark on the end face of continuous paper accurately.
The present invention can implement with other concrete form under spirit that does not break away from it and essence.Scope of the present invention is by claim, but not the statement of above-mentioned specification is limited.
