As shown in Figure 4, the belt type differentiation hole 72 that the type of tape drum 26 is shown is arranged in the lower end side of box lower casing 35, is arranged in towards the position of the band discriminating sensor 40 (referring to Fig. 2) that is arranged on box installation portion 27.When being pressed in the bottom surface from box lower casing 35, opens the mechanical switch in the position that belt type differentiation hole 72 is not set.Also have, when being pressed, do not close at the mechanical switch of the band discriminating sensor 40 of the position that the hole is set.Depend on this combination, band discriminating sensor 40 can be discerned the type of tape drum 26.Color, the width of ink ribbon 10, the length of ink ribbon 10 and the type that analog is determined tape drum 26 based on China ink layer 59.Because the thickness of box shell 52 comprises the thickness of box lower casing 35, and the thickness of this box lower casing 35 is determined by box lock pawl 37,38 and 39, so according to the width of ink ribbon 10, the thickness by changing box lower cover 51 is with regard to the thickness of adjustable cassette shell 52.The width of air roll 33 is arranged to equal or the Breadth Maximum of the ink ribbon 10 that will use greater than hypothesis slightly.Also have, quantity and thermal head 30 that the heating body also can be set can be printed in hypothesis with the resolution ratio on the Breadth Maximum ink ribbon 10 that uses.
The control system of the printer 1 with said structure will be described referring to Fig. 5.As shown in Figure 5, printer 1 is constructed around control assembly 81.Control module 81 is made of CPU82, ROM83, CGROM84, RAM85 and input/output interface 86.All these is connected to each other by bus 87.
ROM83 is suitable for storing dissimilar programs, and has stored dissimilar programs, such as required print control program and the similar program of control printer 1.CPU82 implements dissimilar operations based on the distinct program of storing in ROM83.With respect to a large amount of characters such as letter, the summary data of the summary of each character of ROM83 direction memory, summary data are categorized into different font (boldface font, Ming Dynasty's font or similar font) and are associated with code data.
CGROM84 storage and the corresponding dot array data of importing from character keys group 16 of respective symbols.Read dot array data from CGROM84, and on LCD5, show dot matrix based on this dot array data.RAM85 is suitable for the result of interim storage by the different operating of CPU82 enforcement.When the discriminating data of being read by discriminating data sensor 40 goes out to be installed in the type of the corresponding tape drum 26 the body 2, band is set in RAM85 differentiates data storage areas 85A, this band differentiate stored among data storage areas 85A this differentiation based on and band differentiation tables of data not shown here.In addition, RAM85 is provided with dissimilar memories, comprises that the text memory that is used to store input text, the frame buffer that is used to store the image on LCD5 to be shown, storage treat the print buffer of print image and be used for storing when printing equipment 1 cuts out and created text so that the follow-up backup of memory that reuses.
The band discriminating sensor 40 and the keyboard 4 that are located in the body 2 are connected to input/output interface 86, and this keyboard 4 comprises character keys group 16, electric power on/off key 6, printing key 11, tape load key 21 and similar key.Be connected to input/output interface 86 if drive and control the display controller (LCDC) 88 of LCD5, thereby when the time by character keys group 16 input characters and analog, just sequentially deposit text data in text memory, will be presented on the LCD5 with character and the corresponding dot matrix of analog based on dot matrix generation control program and display control program simultaneously by 16 inputs of character keys group.When providing print command, just make dot array data form print image in the print buffer based on being stored in text data (text) in the text memory by printing key 11.Then, by driving and the control drive circuit 89 of thermal head 30 and cooperating of air roll 33, the dot array data of print buffer is printed on the ink ribbon 10.Drive also control and send the drive circuit 90 of tape pulse motor 41 also to be connected to input/output interface 83, thus make with the cooperation of air roll 33 under the ink ribbon 10 that prints be disposed to the outside by the floss hole 45 from body 2 after putting band portion 67.
But will describe generation transfer printing ink ribbon 10 and use this ink ribbon 10 and printer 1 this belt to be transferred to the process of target transfer printing body 70 based on Fig. 6 with said structure.
Fig. 6 shows the state that ink ribbon 10 is in the upstream side above the position between the air roll 33 that ink ribbon 10 is clipped in thermal head 30 and tape drum 26 inboards at upper left section.As indicated above, ink ribbon 10 has the structure of layering, wherein, sequence stack basalis 58, China ink layer 59, adhesive phase 60 and peeling paper 61.Because in case adhesive phase 60 comprises the adhesive that demonstrates self adhesion when being heated and keep its self adhesion after temperature descends, so if the not heated words of adhesive phase can not demonstrate self adhesion.This helps to prevent that ink ribbon 10 accidents from adhering to the caused adverse effect in each position, and helps to make its utilization to be more prone to.Also have, this prevents that adhesive from overflowing, even prevents to roll up 63 adhere to box shell 52 and prevent that foreign matter from adhering to it after ink ribbon 10 is wound into the volume 63 that is mounted in the box shell 52.
The left stage casing of Fig. 6 shows between the air roll 33 that ink ribbon 10 is clipped in thermal head 30 and tape drum 26 inboards and the state during from keyboard 4 input text datas (text), after this push printing key 11, rotate and send tape pulse motor 41 to rotate air roll 33 along the arrow C direction.Simultaneously, carry ink ribbon 10, begin to print to push ink ribbon 10 parts from thermal head 30 along arrow D direction.Basalis 58 neighbours of ink ribbon 10 are against on the thermal head 30, and peeling paper 61 neighbours are against on the air roll 33.Contact with thermal head 30 by the basalis 58 that makes ink ribbon 10, optionally heated ink layer 59 and adhesive phase 60, and do not have the danger that the adhesive that demonstrates self adhesion adheres to thermal head 30.Also have, have the polyester film or the similar film of high-fire resistance, can improve the slippage of belt, reduce for the load of sending tape pulse motor 41 thus with respect to thermal head 30 by use.The lip-deep peeling paper 61 that is arranged on ink ribbon 10 is contacted with air roll 33, thereby, prevent from that ink ribbon 10 from adhering to be arranged in the printer 1 and to have the air roll 33 that send the band function and hooked by air roll 33 when thermal head 30 when optionally heated adhesive layer 60 makes it demonstrate self adhesion thus.
Then, the lower-left section of Fig. 6 shows to begin to rotate from the state shown in the left stage casing of Fig. 6 send tape pulse motor 41 further rotating air roll 33 along the arrow C direction, and carries the state of ink ribbon 10 simultaneously along arrow D direction.Here, push ink ribbon 10 parts from thermal head 30 and begin to print, and implement to print to thermal head and push ink ribbon 10 part b 30 this moments by optionally heating ink ribbon 10.At this moment, when seeing through basalis 58 by thermal head 30 and optionally heat the China ink layer 59 of ink ribbon 10 and adhesive phase 60, China ink layer 59 in the ink ribbon 10 be heated that part 68 just adheres to adhesive phase 60 be heated part 69, the part 69 that is heated of adhesive phase 60 begins to demonstrate self adhesion simultaneously.Above-described is the process that forms ink ribbon 10, this ink ribbon 10 has the hierarchy of one, the basalis 58, China ink layer 59, adhesive phase 60 and the peeling paper 61 that comprise sequence stack, yet, simply by optionally heating can't transfer printing in printer 1 (unless implement some actions with such printing or form image) ink ribbon 10, ink ribbon 10 self can be transformed into the ink ribbon 10 of transferability to target transfer printing body 70.Until here, peeling paper 61 can prevent to adhere to air roll 33 and hooked by air roll 33 at the ink ribbon 10 that part 69 places demonstrate self adhesion of being heated of adhesive phase 60, and is as indicated above.
Then, upper right section of Fig. 6 shows the ink ribbon of finishing 10, obtain the ink ribbon that this is finished by following operation: the operation of inserting the clear area after making the ink ribbon 10 of state shown in the left stage casing among Fig. 6 stand to print to finish, cutter bar 22 is with in operation then, to cut ink ribbon 10 by the cutter 71 and 71 that is attached to band cutter bar 22 that is arranged on tape drum 26 downstreams.In the ink ribbon of finishing 10, prevent exposed adhesive by covering adhesive phase 60 with peeling paper 61, needn't be transferred to the transfer printing body thus immediately and do not adhered to by foreign matter and so on the protection belt.Also have, can before transfer printing, just peel off peeling paper, thus can the longer-term storage belt.
Then, the right stage casing of Fig. 6 shows peeling paper 61 and peels off and ink ribbon 10 adheres to the state of target transfer printing body 70 from the ink ribbon of finishing 10.Because China ink layer 59 be heated that 68 of parts are wanted in China ink layer 59 and adhesive phase 60 be heated that printing portion adheres to adhesive phase 60 be heated part 69, simultaneously, the part 69 that is heated of adhesive phase 60 demonstrates self adhesion, so needn't be at the ink ribbon that rubs when exert pressure in the back side as doing for traditional ink ribbon.Peeling paper 61 on the surface of that side of contact adhesive layer 60 through the processing of remover, thereby can successfully peel off this peeling paper 61 from the part 69 that is heated of the adhesive phase 60 of the self adhesion that demonstrates.Become to prevent that it is shifted although peeling paper 61 adheres to when belt moves,, can after printing, successfully peel off peeling paper with hand even also be so implement under the state that Electrostatic Treatment and adhesive phase 60 do not demonstrate self adhesion with respect to peeling paper 61.
Then, the bottom right section of Fig. 6 shows the state that the right stage casing of peelling off Fig. 6 illustrates the ink ribbon 10 in the state.At this state, since China ink layer 59 be heated that 68 parts that optionally heated by thermal head 30 at ink ribbon 10 of part adhere to adhesive phase 60 be heated part 69, and 69 of the parts of being heated that adhesive phase 60 demonstrates self adhesion adhere to goal displacement band 70 in heated part optionally, so when peelling off ink ribbon 10, have only the part 69 that is heated that part 68 and adhesive phase 60 demonstrate self adhesion that is heated of China ink layer 59 to be transferred to target transfer printing body.Therefore, image on the China ink layer of China ink band is transferred to the first transfer printing body (transfer paper) with being formed on, the second stage transfer printing (as what done traditionally) of implementing image is transferred to the target second transfer printing body then can be omitted, ink ribbon 10 that can't transfer printing by original state self can be transformed into and can optionally heat the ink ribbon 10 that comes transfer printing by be need not to add any optional feature by thermal head 30, transfer printing is become be more prone to and improve transfer quality.
Here, in the structure of above-mentioned Fig. 6, protect adhesive phase 60 by peeling paper 61.Under the situation that still is pasted with barrier paper 61, shown in upper right section of Fig. 6, even after having implemented printing, still can't discern print What.
Here, as shown in Figure 7, can adopt a structure, wherein temperature-sensitive look solid layer 73 is coated on the surface of basalis 58.When applying the solid layer of temperature-sensitive look 73 as mentioned above, temperature-sensitive look solid layer 73 is suitable for being manifested color at it by the part that thermal head 30 heats, shown in the lower-left section of Fig. 7.Because it is identical with transfer section to manifest the part of color,, the user treats printed contents so can discerning by observation temperature-sensitive look solid layer 73.Can make temperature-sensitive look solid layer manifest color by on ink ribbon to be printed, applying the agent of temperature-sensitive look solid simply, and need not to add any new process with respect to transfer process shown in Figure 6.
Be arranged to color with China ink layers 59 when identical when the color that manifests in the solid layer 73 of temperature-sensitive look, the user not only can discern and treat printed contents, and can discern color to be printed.
Here, if adhesive overflows ink ribbon 10, the adhesive that then overflows may adhere to thermal head 30 or air roll 33.As shown in Figure 8, if basalis 58 has identical lateral dimensions with adhesive phase 60, then adhesive phase 60 may overflow.Therefore, the adhesive that overflows may adhere to thermal head 30 or air roll 33.
Then, as shown in Figure 9, (that is, ink ribbon 10) lateral dimensions prevents overflowing of adhesive to lateral dimensions that can be by making adhesive phase 60 less than basalis 58.Figure 10 shows the lateral relationships between ink ribbon 10 and the adhesive phase 60, has represented that the scope of applying adhesive is narrower than the area of ink ribbon 10.
Also have, as shown in Figure 9, lateral dimensions that also can be by making China ink layer 59 prevents overflowing of China ink less than the lateral dimensions of ink ribbon 10.Fig. 8 shows adhesive phase 60 and black layer 59 situation that has less lateral dimensions.Here, can only make the lateral dimensions of adhesive phase 60 or only make the lateral dimensions of China ink layer 59 become less.
In structure shown in Figure 9, treat that by change the structure of print media prevents the adhesion of adhesive or China ink, and need not to change the structure of thermal head 30 and air roll 33.Here, as shown in figure 11, can prevent the adhesion of adhesive or China ink by the structure that changes thermal head 30 and air roll 33.
That is to say, if the lateral dimensions of the lateral dimensions of thermal head and/or air roll 33 is less than the lateral dimensions of ink ribbon 10, even then China ink or adhesive overflow and can prevent that also the adhesive that overflows from adhering to thermal head 30 or air roll 33.Also have, the lateral dimensions that Figure 11 shows the lateral dimensions of thermal head 30 and air roll 33 all less than the structure of the lateral dimensions of ink ribbon 10, also can adopt following structure, wherein has only the lateral dimensions of thermal head or has only the lateral dimensions of air roll 33 to become less.
Also have, as shown in figure 12, can adopt the combining structure of Fig. 9 and Figure 11.In this case, can prevent overflowing of adhesive or China ink, even and adhesive or China ink overflow and can prevent that also the adhesive or the China ink that overflow from adhering to air roll 33.
As what describe in detail hereinbefore, ink ribbon 10 and printer 1 according to present embodiment, ink ribbon 10 forms and comprises basalis 58, China ink layer 59 and in case show the adhesive phase 60 of self adhesion, their sequence stack all-in-one-piece hierarchies when being heated.When optionally heating this ink ribbon 10 by thermal head 30 with the formation image, its of China ink layer 59 go up the formation image be heated that part 68 adheres to adhesive phase 60 be heated part 69, simultaneously, the part 69 that is heated of adhesive phase 60 demonstrates self adhesion, thus ink ribbon 10 self is transformed into the ink ribbon 10 that can be transferred to target transfer printing body 70.The result, obtain the ink ribbon wanted because can be simply by directly heat ink ribbon 10 by the heating body, so no longer need to be transferred to transfer paper, to implement image is transferred to the second stage transfer printing of target transfer printing body then, make the utilization of ink ribbon 10 be more prone to thus with being formed on image on the China ink layer of different China ink bands.Also have,, can improve transfer quality because no longer need the second stage transfer printing.
Because adhesive phase 60 demonstrates self adhesion when being heated, but do not demonstrate self adhesion in the normal condition when not being heated, so, make the utilization of ink ribbon 10 be more prone at aspects such as " preventing that foreign matter from adhering to ink ribbon 10 ", " preventing that ink ribbon 10 accidents from adhering to each position ".In addition, because 60 of adhesive phases demonstrate self adhesion in heated part, and do not demonstrate self adhesion in not heated part, so can clearly determine to demonstrate the portion boundary of self adhesion, thereby make the part that only demonstrates self adhesion be transferred to target transfer printing body 70.
Because China ink layer 59 be heated part 68 and adhesive phase 60 to be heated 69 of parts bonding at the heated printing portion of wanting, simultaneously, adhesive phase 60 demonstrates self adhesion, so can be by adhere to the simple operations of peelling off ink ribbon 10 after the target transfer printing body 70 at ink ribbon 10, make being heated part 68 and easily being transferred to target transfer printing body 70 of China ink layer 59, and need not to exert pressure and rub from that side of basalis 58.As a result, any user can easily implement lettering, and without any individual difference.
Also have, because the lateral dimensions of adhesive phase and/or China ink layer less than the lateral dimensions of ink ribbon, is overflowed from ink ribbon so can prevent adhesive and/or China ink.Also have, because the lateral dimensions of thermal head and/or air roll is less than the lateral dimensions of ink ribbon, so even adhesive and/or China ink overflow from ink ribbon, can prevent that also adhesive and/or China ink from adhering to thermal head and/or air roll.
Because ink ribbon 10 is provided with peeling paper 61 in adhesive phase 60 those sides, so can easily use ink ribbon 10 any adhesive is exposed on the surface of ink ribbon 10, also be like this even adhesive phase 60 demonstrates self adhesion slightly.Therefore, when adhesive phase 60 demonstrates self adhesion optionally being heated by thermal head 30, can prevent because ink ribbon 10 adheres to and is arranged in the printer 1 and the air roll 3 that send the band function is arranged and hooked by air roll 3 and the fault that causes in printer 1.Because needn't consider the compatibility of adhesive, can expand the range of choice of the material that is used for air roll 33 with respect to the material of air roll 33.In addition,, do not adhere to foreign matter with the protection belt, can before transfer printing, just peel off peeling paper 60, can store belt as required thus so needn't immediately belt be transferred on the target transfer printing body 70 because adhesive does not expose.
Because ink ribbon 10 is wound into web-like, when ink ribbon 10 is installed in the printer 1, can prevent that ink ribbon 10 from folding, crooked and scratch taking place.Therefore, because ink ribbon to be installed 10 coilings 63, so, simultaneously, the installation in box shell 52 is more prone to even the installation region is minimized.
Because tape drum 26 holds the volume 63 of ink ribbon 10 in box shell 52, so can tape drum 26 (ink ribbon 10) be arranged to printable state by the simple operations in the box installation portion 27 that tape drum 26 is installed in printer 1.Therefore only under the situation of ink ribbon 10, can do like this and need not such as arranging that ink ribbon 10 makes it be in complex operations the printable state with respect to printer 1.Volume 63 with ink ribbon 10 before offering the user is contained in the tape drum 26, can prevent the user may misidentification belt front and back and ink ribbon 10 is arranged in the printer 1 mistakenly.
Because in the box installation portion 27 of printer 1, tape drum 26 is removably mounted in this box installation portion 27 and this box installation portion 27 also comprises thermal head 30 and air roll 33, so the print position of ink ribbon 10 is clipped between thermal head 30 and the air roll 33, simultaneously, basalis 58 that side neighbours in the ink ribbon 10 are against on the thermal head 30, China ink layer 59 and adhesive phase 60 optionally are heated, and adhesive can not adhere on the thermal head 30.Simultaneously, use polyester film and similar film can improve the slippage of belt, and can help to reduce the load of sending tape pulse motor 41 for driving air roll 33 with respect to thermal head 30 with high-fire resistance.
Printer 1 clamps the ink ribbon 10 with hierarchy by the thermal head 30 and the air roll 33 that are arranged in the box installation portion 27 at the print position of ink ribbon 10, in this hierarchy, basalis 58, China ink layer 59 and in case demonstrate adhesive phase 60 sequence stacks of self adhesion when being heated, this printer 1 makes thermal head 30 contact with that side of the basalis 58 of ink ribbon 10, to see through China ink layer 59 and the adhesive phase 60 that basalis 58 optionally heats ink ribbon 10 by thermal head, thus with the China ink layer 59 in the ink ribbon 10 be heated that part 68 adheres to adhesive phase 60 be heated part 69.Demonstrate self adhesion by the part 69 that is heated that makes adhesive phase 60, ink ribbon 10 can be transformed into the ink ribbon 10 that can be transferred to target transfer printing body 70.As a result, in printer 1, just no longer need to be transferred to transfer paper, image to be transferred to the second stage transfer printing (as what done traditionally) of target transfer printing body then with being formed on image on the China ink layer of different China ink bands.This makes that the utilization of printer 1 is simpler, and the feasible ink ribbon 10 that can produce the transfer quality with raising.
Because the adhesive phase 60 of the ink ribbon 10 in the printer 1 demonstrates self adhesion optionally by thermal head 30 heating the time, and there is not self adhesion in the normal condition when not being heated, adhere to adhesive phase and prevent that adhesive phase from unexpectedly adhering to each position so can prevent foreign matter, make the utilization of ink ribbon be more prone to thus.In addition, because 60 of adhesive phases are optionally demonstrated self adhesion by the part that thermal head 30 heats at it, and do not demonstrate self adhesion in not heated part, so can produce an ink ribbon 10, in this ink ribbon 10, the portion boundary that demonstrates self adhesion is clearly discerned, and has only its part that demonstrates self adhesion can be transferred to target transfer printing body 70.
Because in printer 1, China ink layer 59 be heated that 68 of parts adhere to adhesive phase 60 at its printing portion place of optionally being heated by thermal head 30 be heated part 69, simultaneously, between the China ink layer 59 and adhesive phase 60 of ink ribbon 10, adhesive phase 60 demonstrates cohesive, so can produce an ink ribbon 10, in this ink ribbon 10, can be simply by after ink ribbon being sent to target transfer printing body 70, removing ink ribbon, come easily being heated partly of China ink layer to be transferred to target transfer printing body, and need not to exert pressure and rub from that side of basalis 58.
Then, because printer 1 is provided with cutter 71 and 71 so that cutting ink ribbon 10 in the band portion 67 of putting of tape drum 26 along the downstream of sending the band direction, ink ribbon 10 after the printing needn't be cut by scissors or analog, can reduce ink ribbon thus from along the belt length that begins of the print position of at least one end longitudinally.This can easily locate the ink ribbon 10 that is produced by this printer 1 when being transferred to target transfer printing body 70.
The solid agent of temperature-sensitive look is coated on the surface of contact thermal head, thereby when ink ribbon is heated, the temperature-sensitive look is consolidated agent and manifested color being heated the part place, can discern the print What of ink ribbon thus before the transfer printing ink ribbon.As a result, can prevent the ink ribbon of transfer error.In addition, be arranged to color with China ink layer when identical, not only can discern and treat printed contents, and can discern the color of China ink to be printed, and need not to remove peeling paper when the color that in the solid agent of temperature-sensitive look, manifests.As a result, can prevent the ink ribbon of transfer error.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be implemented as other concrete mode without departing from the scope of the invention.
For example, although in certain embodiments, ink ribbon has the structure that comprises peeling paper 61, and the present invention is not limited to the foregoing description, does not spend, and the present invention also may be used on not comprising the ink ribbon of peeling off ply of paper.Preferably, in this case, peeling agent layer is coated on the surface of air roll 33.
Although described subject matter, should be appreciated that the theme that limits need not be confined to above-mentioned specific structure or action in appended claims with the specific language of architectural feature and/or method action.On the contrary, above-mentioned specific feature and effect are to disclose as the exemplary forms of implementing claim.
