Description

The chopping machine that has debonder
Technical field
The present invention relates to have the chopping machine that is used for from the debonder of paper in reel peeling label, relate in particular to a kind of chopping machine with following debonder: described debonder can one next peel off and distribute the operation mode of label and be used for emitting (printing) label continuously and switch between the operation mode label not peeled off from paper in reel.
Background technology
The mechanism for stripping guiding paper in reel that has the label peeling device, on described paper in reel, label adheres to 90 degree or littler angle around debonder bar or other debonder assembly.When guiding paper in reel like this by the transmission path with sharp bend, the hardness that is attached to the label of web surfaces makes label peel off and separate from paper in reel.The label of peeling off is then discharged from the label outlet, and the operator is easy to remove the peeling label from the such distribution of label outlet.
If the label of discharging from the label outlet when discharging like next labels class is not removed by the user, thereby still stay in the label outlet, then these two labels will stick together in the label outlet, finally cause paperboard.For fear of this problem, usually the optical tag sensor is arranged near the label outlet, with tags detected whether in the label outlet.
When with from paper in reel label peeling pattern when work of peeling label one by one, when removing the label of discharge, begin printing to next label in the optical tag sensor.Yet, when during with the continuous label discharge mode work that is retained in still that uninterrupted flow on the paper in reel discharges, directly discharging label paper from the label outlet with more straight path with label wherein, rather than through making paper in reel discharge label paper with the path of sharp bend.Label sensor in this case always detects can not export (label sensor output is constant) control label or paper in reel based on label sensor, therefore can not control the label distribution pattern.
Therefore, must be by making label sensor output invalid (anergy) or changing the continuous label distribution pattern of label distribution operation control by exporting based on label sensor.Yet, need the operator to change control method to changing the label distribution pattern and importing.
Japanese Unexamined Patent Application H08-295323 has lectured a kind ofly can not require the label machine that the operator imports based on how loading paper in reel identification label distribution mode.Disclosed label machine has the paper in reel sensor, and when working with the label peeling pattern, described paper in reel sensor is set in the paper in reel emission path that paper in reel is loaded into.When the paper in reel sensor arrived paper in reel, chopping machine knew that debonder is set to the work of label peeling pattern.(only in the label peeling pattern with another path (the paper in reel sensor is set) feeding paper in reel).
In having the conventional printer of debonder, for the label peeling pattern being changed into continuous label distribution pattern, require the operator to import to switch to make from the master mode of the output anergy (that is, ignoring) of the label sensor that is arranged on the label outlet or to not being based on the master mode that label sensor is exported.Change master mode if the operator forgets because of paper in reel is loaded in the label distribution pattern that mode in the debonder can not mate known to the printer control system, then cause problem to produce.Therefore, improve chopping machine availability and operability by the needs of eliminating this operator's input.
And, the change with the identification label distribution mode to the paper in reel emission path of paper in reel sensor is set means, except label sensor, also need the paper in reel sensor, thereby correspondingly increased size and cost.And, because the paper in reel emission path is usually located near the label outlet, therefore only there is very little space to use, be difficult so provide a place to unreel the coil paper sensor.
In order to address the above problem, the invention provides a kind of chopping machine that has mechanism for stripping, described printing function is with the label distribution pattern work corresponding to the foundation of mechanism for stripping, do not change the setting of label distribution pattern and do not need the user to import, do not need the paper in reel sensor to come the tags detected distribution mode yet.
Therefore, the invention provides a kind of like this chopping machine that has mechanism for stripping, how described printing function identification is based on setting mechanism for stripping from the output of the label sensor that is arranged on the label outlet.The present invention also provides a kind of like this chopping machine that has mechanism for stripping, and described printing function is to control the operation in continuous label distribution pattern and the label peeling pattern based on the identical mode of label sensor output.
Summary of the invention
To achieve these goals, the chopping machine that has mechanism for stripping according to the present invention has: mechanism for stripping switches to the retracted position of peeling off the position and the label on the paper in reel not being peeled off that is used for from the paper in reel peeling label; Label outlet is used to discharge the label of peeling off and still is retained in label on the paper in reel; And label detecting unit, be used for detecting the label of peeling off and whether stay the label outlet.When mechanism for stripping switched to retracted position, label detecting unit therewith switched to label and detects disabled state, and wherein in described disabled state, label detecting unit output shows in the label outlet does not have label, and output (signal) state does not change.
When the mechanism for stripping in the chopping machine that has a mechanism for stripping according to the present invention changed to retracted position, label detecting unit also changed to retracted position, and label detecting unit also changes to label and detects disabled state.After this label detecting unit continues output and do not detect label in the label outlet, and output state signal does not change.Therefore print function identification mechanism for stripping and when switch to retracted position, that is, when chopping machine changes to continuous label distribution pattern from the label peeling pattern.Because the detector output that changes during usually at next distribution label when label outlet transmits and discharge at paper in reel does not change, detect mechanism for stripping and be set at retracted position so print function.
And, because label sensor (detector) output does not often have label in the outlet of expression label, work with continuous label distribution pattern based on this output so print function, wherein said continuous label distribution pattern is used to print and emit a plurality of labels that still are retained on the paper in reel.Like this, can be based on controlling label peeling pattern and the continuously operation of label distribution pattern in the same manner from the output of label detecting unit, and need not do anything especially.
According to the opto-electronic pickup preferably of the label detecting unit in the chopping machine that has a mechanism for stripping of the present invention, described opto-electronic pickup is used for based on the existence by tag reflection or detection light beam (infrared ray) tags detected that stops.Described chopping machine also has shielding part, and wherein by the part of photoreceptor at least of shielded from light electric transducer, described shielding part can be set label and detect disabled state.
If the use reflective photoelectric sensor, then opto-electronic pickup output will be maintained in the following state: if often expression photelectric receiver conductively-closed, then detecting does not have label, thereby does not detect reflected light.Therefore, can determine that mechanism for stripping has switched to retracted position based on opto-electronic pickup output, that is, the label peeling pattern has changed to continuous label distribution pattern.
If mechanism for stripping has the paper in reel pressure roller, can and leave between the retracted position of described paper in reel pressing position and move at the paper in reel pressing position, wherein when the paper in reel pressing position, transmit the paper in reel after label is stripped from, then be in when peeling off in the position when mechanism for stripping, the paper in reel pressure roller remains in the paper in reel pressing position, and when mechanism for stripping was in the retracted position, the paper in reel pressure roller switched to retracted position.In this case, chopping machine also preferably has the bindiny mechanism with the mobile shielding part of motion of paper in reel pressure roller.
Further preferably, mechanism for stripping has the pivot member that is used to support the paper in reel pressure roller.Described pivot member can be pivotable between first pivot location and second pivot location, when pivot member is in first pivot location, the paper in reel pressure roller is in the paper in reel pressing position, and when pivot member was in second pivot location, the paper in reel pressure roller was in the retracted position.Bindiny mechanism in this case is the cam mechanism that is used for the pivoting action of pivot member is changed into the shift action of shielding part.
In another aspect of this invention, label detecting unit is kept by specific thrust, stopping in the primary importance across label outlet (obstruction label), and described label detecting unit comprises: the label test rod, and can discharge on the direction at label when pushing away and be pivotable by the label of discharging; And the bar detecting unit, whether be used for the tags detected test rod in primary importance.Switch to retracted position with mechanism for stripping, the label test rod moves to the second place that does not hinder from the label of label outlet discharge, and in the time of in being in the described second place, the part of label test rod remains in the detection range of bar detecting unit unchangeably, detects and disabled state thereby set undetected label.
When mechanism for stripping changes to retracted position, that is, when label peeling mode switch during to continuous label distribution pattern, the label test rod moves to the second place, and the part of label test rod remains in the detection range (zone) of bar detecting unit.As a result, bar detecting unit output remains in such state, and wherein, test rod stops in the primary importance, and output shows in the label outlet and do not detect label.Based on this unaltered output state, print function identification mechanism for stripping and moved to retracted position, that is, the label peeling pattern has changed to continuous label distribution pattern.And, because detector output does not have change, and does not have label in the outlet of continuous representation label, so can control the label peeling pattern and the continuous label distribution pattern of chopping machine in the same manner based on detector output.
Part in order to ensure label test rod when the label test rod moves to the second place remains in the detection range of bar detecting unit, makes the label test rod be pivotable between the described primary importance and the second place with the pivot point in the detection range of bar detecting unit.(even can detect bar in the primary importance and the second place.)
Further preferably, mechanism for stripping has the paper in reel pressure roller, can and leave between the retracted position of described paper in reel pressing position and move at the paper in reel pressing position, wherein when the paper in reel pressing position, transmit the paper in reel after label is stripped from, and when mechanism for stripping is in when peeling off in the position, the paper in reel pressure roller remains in the paper in reel pressing position, and when mechanism for stripping was in retracted position, the paper in reel pressure roller switched to retracted position.
Still more preferably, mechanism for stripping has the pivot member that is used to support the paper in reel pressure roller.Described pivot member can be pivotable between first pivot location and second pivot location with the pivot point through the detection range of bar detecting unit, when pivot member is in first pivot location, the paper in reel pressure roller is in the paper in reel pressing position, and when pivot member was in second pivot location, the paper in reel pressure roller was in the retracted position.
Still more preferably, described label test rod is supported by pivot member, makes that the label test rod is in first pivot location when pivot member is in first pivot location, and when pivot member turned to second pivot location, the label test rod switched to the second place.
Still more preferably,, between label outlet and paper in reel emission path, wherein be stripped from the back paper in reel and discharge by the label test rod that is in the pivot member support in first pivot location from described paper in reel emission path at label.
In this case, the label test rod can play guide, is used to guide the label of peeling off from paper in reel, makes label can not move towards paper in reel.
Still more preferably, being used for discharging the flank of guide tag on the direction or other pilot unit at label forms on the label mating surfaces by the label test rod of the label contact of discharging.
Still more preferably, discharge label slippage resistance on the direction less than in the opposite direction label slippage resistance, exported so that label can steadily be directed to label at the label of the label mating surfaces that contact with label that the discharge label test rod.
Still more preferably, in the label contact that contact with label that the discharge label test rod by surface treatment for label, so that label does not adhere to the label mating surfaces of label test rod with point or line contact discharge.
A kind of chopping machine that has mechanism for stripping according to a further aspect in the invention also has the driving control unit of the driving of printhead, chart driving mechanism and control printhead and chart driving mechanism.Driving control unit is determined, if the detection of label detecting unit output is changed into expression and is detected label after chart driving mechanism transmits the recording medium distance to a declared goal, then mechanism for stripping is in and peels off in the position, and determined that if described label detecting unit output does not change, then mechanism for stripping would be in the retracted position.

When be set to the top as shown in Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B or the first pivot location 35A along with paper in reel platen support frame 35 and close and peel off unit 10, then paper in reel pressure roller 24 is set to paper in reel pressing position 24A, in this position, paper in reel pressure roller 24 is pressed in coil paper 14A on the platen 20 from top.This makes the paper in reel 14b part of coil paper 14A export 11 positions of discharging around stripping rod 23 transmission and from paper in reel, that is, debonder work is with the position from the paper in reel peeling label.
If be set to bottom as shown in Fig. 6 A, Fig. 6 B and Fig. 6 C or the first pivot location 35A along with paper in reel platen support frame 35 and close and peel off unit 10, then paper in reel pressure roller 24 is set to retracted position 24B, moving to platen 20 fwd positions, thereby be not pressed on the platen 20.This is the retracted position of debonder 30, and in this position, the paper in reel 14b of coil paper 14A part does not transmit and discharges from paper in reel outlet 11 around stripping rod 23, thereby, not from paper in reel 14b peeling label 14c.
Therefore, by paper in reel platen support frame 35 is rotated to the second pivot location 35B from the first pivot location 35A, peel off unit 10 simultaneously and as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, open, then only close and peel off unit 10, can be easily be set at the non-position of peeling off of indentation peeling off unit 10.
Below detailed description is peeled off the part of unit 10.
The unit framework 31 that can be pivotable up and down as mentioned above has the connecting portion 32 that extends and meets at right angles bending and extend towards the chopping machine rear portion with the opposite end of connecting portion 32 on the chopping machine Width left and right sides arm 34,33. Axis hole 33a, 34a form in the leading section of each arm 33,34.The pivot 16 that is arranged on the printer body side freely rotates by axis hole 33a, 34a, thereby unit framework 31 can vertically be pivotable, and opens and closes on pivot 16.Unit framework 31 stably upwards pushes away (opening on the direction) by the torsion spring (not shown) that is connected to pivot 16.
Paper in reel platen support frame 35 is connected between the left and right sides arm 34,33 of unit framework 31, thereby paper in reel platen support frame 35 can be pivotable up and down.Paper in reel platen support frame 35 has the connecting portion 36 that extends and meets at right angles bending and extend towards the chopping machine rear portion with the end of connecting portion 36 on the chopping machine Width left and right sides arm 38,37.Make paper in reel pressure roller 24 under connecting portion 36, freely rotate. Gudgeon 40,39 is projected into the outside on the chopping machine Width of the end of left and right sides arm 38,37 towards the chopping machine rear portion, and gudgeon 40,39 is connected to the left and right sides arm 34,33 of unit framework 31 freely to rotate.
Blade 22 is connected to the surface of the connecting portion 32 of the unit framework 31 that extends on the chopping machine Width.The surface of blade 22 is label guide surface 22a.The surface of the connecting portion 36 of paper in reel platen support frame 35 also is label guide surface 36a.When paper in reel platen support frame 35 is in the first pivot location 35A, label guide surface 22a is relative with label guide surface 36a, and the fore-and-aft direction along chopping machine has appointed interval between them, and these guide surfaces limit label emission path 18a and label outlet 12.
As will be from Fig. 6 B as can be known, torsion spring 42 be set on the gudgeon 39, and an end of torsion spring 42 is upwards shifted paper in reel platen support frame 35 onto first pivot location 35A.The other end of torsion spring 42 is connected to the position bonded assembly jam plate 43 below arm 37, thereby jam plate 43 can move up and down, and torsion spring 42 upwards pushes away jam plate 43.So connect jam plate 43, make jam plate 43 can go up (to be locked into the latch fitting (not shown) of arm 37) under (the latch fitting (not shown) that unclamps arm 37) mobile.
When paper in reel platen support frame 35 swings to the second pivot location 35B, the end that is supported on the roll shaft 24a of the paper in reel pressure roller 24 on the paper in reel platen support frame 35 is upwards shifted onto on the hook 43a in the jam plate 43, and be locked in paper in reel platen support frame 35 back.Like this, paper in reel platen support frame 35 is locked in the second pivot location 35B, and will be set to retracted position 24B by the paper in reel pressure roller 24 that paper in reel platen support frame 35 supports.If from then on latched position upwards pushes away jam plate 43 against spring force, then the end of the roll shaft 24a of paper in reel pressure roller 24 separates with hook 43a in the jam plate 43.As a result, paper in reel platen support frame 35 utilizes the power of torsion spring 42 to turn back to the first pivot location 35A.Therefore, paper in reel platen support frame 35 can move between the first pivot location 35A and the second pivot location 35B.
Rectangular window 22b is arranged in the right part of the blade 22 of the connecting portion 32 that is connected to unit framework 31, and the parasite/receptor surface 21a that is used for the reflective photoelectric sensor 21 that label detects exposes by this window 22b.The sight shield 44 that is roughly rectangle is slidingly connected at blade 22 back along the Width of chopping machine.
Fig. 7 A and Fig. 7 B have described the cam mechanism that is used to make sight shield 44 slips.As seen in these figures, cam 44a extends to the gudgeon 40 of the right arm portion 38 of paper in reel platen support frame 35 from the right part of sight shield 44, and cam follower 44b forms on the far-end of this arm 44a.Helix camming surface 44b is positioned on the rounded outer surface of gudgeon 40, and the power of spring 45 pushes away cam follower 44b against this camming surface 40a with being free to slide.Thus, along with paper in reel platen support frame 35 rotates to the second pivot location 35B from the first pivot location 35A, the cam mechanism that camming surface 40a and cam follower 44b form makes sight shield 44 slide into the screening-off position shown in Fig. 7 B from the open position 44A shown in Fig. 7 A.
When in open position 44A, sight shield 44 is positioned at window 22b next door, and wherein the parasite of opto-electronic pickup 21/receptor surface 21a exposes by this window 22b, and, as shown in Fig. 5 A, opto-electronic pickup 21 can be by the detection light (infrared ray) of window 22b detection of reflected.
When sight shield 44 then slided into cam follower 44b, as shown in Fig. 6 A, the bottom conductively-closed plate 44 of window 22b covered.As a result, the part on the photoreceptor surface of the parasite of covering opto-electronic pickup 21/receptor surface 21a.Opto-electronic pickup 21 then impassabitity window 22b receives the detection light of reflection, thereby remains on continuously in the non-existent output state of expression label.
Notice that the opto-electronic pickup 21 in this embodiment of the present invention has with respect to the parasite of the vertical surface directed downwards as shown in Fig. 5 B and Fig. 6 C/receptor surface 21a.Therefore, the orientation of opto-electronic pickup 21 is prevented that exterior light from entering by label outlet 12, for example, prevent picking up of parasite/receptor surface 21a, prevent that opto-electronic pickup 21 from causing the detection mistake.
*Driving control system
Fig. 8 is the schematic block diagram of driving control system that has the chopping machine of mechanism for stripping 1 according to the present invention.Described drive controlling mechanism has the driving control unit 51 that is made of microprocessor etc. for instance.Data processing terminal or main frame are supplied with driving control unit 51 with print command and printer output.When receiving this print command, driving control unit 51 is determined Working mode set still is set to continuous label output mode (that is non-separation mode) to the label peeling pattern according to the output of opto-electronic pickup 21.Driving control unit 51 is then controlled the drive motor 53 (paper transport sector) of motor driver 52 drive pressure paper spools 20, to transmit coil paper 14A according to selected mode of operation.Synchronous with paper transmission operation, driving control unit 51 also utilizes head driver 55 to drive thermal heads 19, thus Print Label.The existence of coil paper 14A and the position of label 14c are discerned in detection signal output according to the paper detecting sensor 54 that is positioned at platen 20 downstreams (transmission path 18) between coil paper 14A transmission period.
*The label distribution operation
Fig. 9 is the diagram of circuit of label distribution operation that has the chopping machine of mechanism for stripping 1.Below will be referring to the operation of this flow chart description label distribution operation and debonder 30.
Any distribution label that can following two kinds of mode of operations: the label peeling pattern, wherein one next peel off and distribute label; And continuous label distribution pattern, wherein label still is retained on the paper in reel and discharges continuously, that is, do not peel off from paper in reel.Under arbitrary situation, coil paper 14A is loaded in the winding paper chamber * winding paper 15 as paper roll 14, and wherein coil paper 14A has the label 14c of predetermined length, and described label adhesively is fixed on the long paper coil paper 14b backing that twines rolling with fixed interval.
One next peel off and distribute in the label peeling pattern of label 14c, the paper in reel platen support frame 35 of peeling off unit 10 is set to the first pivot location 35A, then closes and peels off unit 10 (the step ST1 among Fig. 9).Utilization makes the coil paper 14A as shown in Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B be bent downwardly between paper in reel pressure roller 24 and platen 20 around the end face of stripping rod 23 from the front end that paper in reel exports 11 rollers that come.
When then receiving the printer label order, the transmission of coil paper 14A is begun, print first label (Fig. 9, step ST2).Paper in reel 14b sends from paper in reel outlet 11, but the hardness of each the label 14c on the paper in reel 14b makes label 14c separate (peeling off) at stripping rod 23 places from paper in reel 14b, rather than utilizes paper in reel 14b around stripping rod 23 bendings (label 14c craspedodrome).Like this, label 14c is from the sur-face peeling of paper in reel 14b, and 18a upwards advances by the label emission path, discharges from label outlet 12.
The emitter/receiver surface 21a of label detection opto-electronic pickup 21 is exposed to the label guide surface 22a place of the front side of modern label emission path 18a.When the label 14c arrival label of peeling off exported 12, the label 14c that peels off was detected by opto-electronic pickup 21.
If at label printing when beginning operation coil paper 14A certain distance that advanced, and change into expression from the output that label detects opto-electronic pickup 21 and detect label, then driving control unit 51 knows that debonder 30 is set to the work of label peeling pattern.Therefore, the label distribution pattern is set to label peeling pattern (Fig. 9, step ST3 returns "Yes", and arrives ST4).
Then, when label 14c advanced to the position that can remove label 14c, the transmission of coil paper 14A stopped, and followed operation suspension.When the operator had removed label 14c, label detected opto-electronic pickup 21 outputs and turns back to no label output state.When coil paper 14c had advanced to the position that can remove label 14c, the forward position of next label exceeded printing (downstream) position of thermal head 19.Therefore, so that the forward position of next label turns back to the print position of thermal head 19, the operation that is used to print and distributes next label begins, and then prints described next label (Fig. 9, step ST5 and step ST6) by counter-rotating coil paper 14A.Repeat this operation, to print one by one and to distribute label.If do not receive the print data of next label from main frame, then chopping machine is retained in the waiting mode of waiting for next printing.
In the label peeling pattern, coil paper 14A when delivery speed (print speed and paper feeding speed) is very fast, label 14c can not peel off from paper in reel 14b.Because when delivery speed is very fast, compare with the adhesive ability that label 14c is attached on the paper in reel 14b, the hardness of label 14c (rigidity) a little less than.If label 14c does not peel off, it is transported to paper in reel outlet 11 with label 14c.At this moment, if label 14c peels off midway, it adheres to transport path, and becomes the reason of paperboard.Because the complete peeling label 14c of label peeling pattern compares with continuous label distribution pattern, it needs low delivery speed.In the present embodiment, delivery speed is 60mm/sec (referring to the ST4 among Fig. 9) in the label peeling pattern, and delivery speed is 80mm/sec (referring to the ST7 among Fig. 9) in continuous label distribution pattern.Be provided with driving control unit 51 and come controlling and driving motor 53 and these delivery speeies.
Next describe to discharge the operation in a series of continuous label distribution patterns that still are retained in the continuous label 14c on the paper in reel.
In order to work with continuous label distribution pattern, paper in reel platen support frame 35 is set to the second pivot location 35B, then closes and peels off unit 10.This makes and load coil paper 14A as Fig. 6 A to Fig. 6 C as shown in, thereby coil paper 14A does not walk around stripping rod 23, along upwards craspedodrome (Fig. 9, step ST1) of label guiding table people 22a.
When paper in reel platen support frame 35 is set to the second pivot location 35B, the sight shield 44 of label guide surface 22a slides into screening-off position 44B from open position 44A, cover the bottom of window 22b like this, wherein label detects the emitter/receiver surface 21a of opto-electronic pickup 21 by described window 22b exposure.Like this, the optical receiver in the bottom of the emitter/receiver surface of label detection opto-electronic pickup 21 21a is capped, and therefore can not detect from the detector light of coil paper 14A reflection.As a result, label detects opto-electronic pickup 21 and remains no label output state continuously.
When then receiving the Print Label data, the transmission of coil paper 14A is begun, print first label (Fig. 9, step ST2).Because debonder 30 is not worked in this continuous label distribution pattern, upward discharges so label 14c still is retained in paper in reel 14b.
In this pattern, when coil paper 14A advanced above-mentioned distance to a declared goal when the label printing operation begins, the output that detects opto-electronic pickup 21 from label did not change to the detected state of label.Therefore, remain on no tag state, be set to retracted position (Fig. 9, step ST3 returns "No", and operates step ST7) so driving control unit 51 is known debonder 30 because label detects the output of opto-electronic pickup 21.
After this, along with coil paper 14A is transmitted uninterruptedly, according to the label printing data that receive from main frame Print Label 14c on paper in reel 14b uninterruptedly.Then still be retained in Print Label 14c on the paper in reel 14b by continuous blow-down.When then printing stopped (Fig. 9, step ST8), chopping machine recovered to wait for the standby mode of next print data.
It is equally evident that, print, paper in reel platen support frame 35 is set at the second pivot location 35B, thereby makes paper pass through label guide surface 22a in order to go up in standard rolled paper 14 (not being label paper) with the paper that twines rolling.Like this, the paper that is printed with distribute a series of continuous identical mode continuous blow-downs of label as mentioned above.
Therefore clearly, when debonder 30 is set to according to the printing that has mechanism for stripping 1 of present embodiment of the present invention and in retracted position the time, sight shield 44 moves to the position of the optical receiver among the parasite/receptor surface 21a that covers label opto-electronic pickup 21 therewith.Therefore, label detects opto-electronic pickup 21 and exports continuously with no label detected state when label 14c is discharged, and will can not change to label detection output state.
Therefore do not need to be used for paper in reel sensor or another sensor of the change of testing pattern, can use the position of detecting opto-electronic pickup 21 identification debonders 30, and can detect the output Control work pattern of opto-electronic pickup 21 based on label.Therefore, can detect the change of mode of operation, and can not cause cost or size to increase, and not need the mode of operation of blocked operation.And,, avoided that for example the operator sets error pattern and the label plug exports medium problem at label because the mode of operation of the operating position of debonder 30 and chopping machine identification mates always.
In this embodiment of the present invention, reflective photoelectric sensor 21 is used as tag detection device, but also can uses the transmission-type photoelectric sensor that in the opposite direction has projector and receptor.
And in this embodiment of the present invention, sight shield 44 only covers the optical receiver part of the parasite/receptor surface 21a of reflective photoelectric sensor 21, but can make sight shield 44 cover whole parasites/receptor surface 21a.Further alternatively, can make sight shield 44 cover whole labels and detect opto-electronic pickup 21.
In this embodiment of the present invention, cam mechanism is used to make sight shield 44 to slide, but clearly, also the connect mechanism that is different from cam mechanism can be used for mobile sight shield 44.And then, should be with the mobile linear path that is limited to of sight shield 44, and can make sight shield between aperture position and screening-off position, move along spirality path, circular path or other path.Even can make sight shield open and close in the mode similar to the tripper of camera or aperture (iris) mechanism.

*Mechanism for stripping
To describe the layout of mechanism for stripping 130 referring to Figure 13 to Figure 15 in detail below.Figure 13 and Figure 14 are the section drawings that is set to the mechanism for stripping 130 of label peeling pattern work, and Figure 15 is the section drawing that is set to the mechanism for stripping 130 of the continuous label distribution pattern work of not peeling off from paper in reel with label wherein.
Peel off unit 110 and have unit framework 131 and paper in reel platen support frame 135 (pivot member).Unit framework 131 can swing up and down around the pivot on the printer body side 116.Paper in reel platen support frame 135 supports paper in reel pressure roller 123, and is supported by unit framework 131, thereby paper in reel platen support frame 135 can be pivotable up and down.
Shown in Figure 13 and 14, when peeling off unit 110 usefulness and be set to paper in reel platen support frame 135 sealing of the top or the first pivot location 135A, paper in reel pressure roller 123 is set to paper in reel pressing position 123A, wherein, paper in reel pressure roller 123 with coil paper 114A from pressing to paper in reel delivery roll 122.This is that the 114b of paper in reel portion of coil paper 114A can be around stripper roll 121 transmission and the positions of discharging from paper in reel outlet 111, that is, mechanism for stripping 130 work are with the position from the paper in reel peeling label.
As shown in figure 15, if when peeling off unit 110 usefulness and being set to paper in reel platen support frame 135 sealing of the top or the second pivot location 135B, paper in reel pressure roller 123 is set on the retracted position 123B that is removed to paper in reel delivery roll 122 position before, thereby can not push paper in reel delivery roll 122.This is the retracted position of mechanism for stripping 130, and wherein, in this position, the 114b of paper in reel portion of coil paper 114A can not can not export 111 from paper in reel around stripper roll 121 and discharge, thereby label 114c can not peel off from paper in reel 114b.
By paper in reel platen support frame 135 is rotated to the second pivot location 135A from the first pivot location 135A, thereby therefore debonder 130 can easily be set to the unstripped position of withdrawal, simultaneously, peels off unit 110 and is opened as shown in figure 11, then, close simply and peel off unit 110.
To partly be described in detail mechanism for stripping below.
The openable unit framework 131 of peeling off unit 110 has: connecting portion 132 extends transverse to chopping machine; And left and right sides arm 134,133, from the opposite end of connecting portion 132 to the back of chopping machine.Axis hole 133a, 134a are formed on the leading section of each arm 133,134.The pivot 116 that is arranged on the chopping machine side can pass through axis hole 133a, 134a with rotating freely, thus make unit framework 131 can be on pivot 116 pivot switch vertically.
The paper in reel platen support frame 135 that is connected to unit framework 131 has left and right sides pivot arm 137,136, along the fore-and-aft direction extension of chopping machine.The connecting portion 138 that extends laterally to chopping machine connects the end of these pivot arm 137,136 at the rear side place of chopping machine, paper in reel pressure roller 123 is arranged under the connecting portion 138 with rotating freely.The left and right sides arm 134,133 that the end of the pivot arm of locating in the front side of chopping machine 137,136 is connected freely to center on unit framework 131 is pivoted up and down.
The label test rod 139 that freely is pivoted around the center shaft 123a of paper in reel pressure roller 123 is connected to paper in reel platen support frame 135.The more weak pressure (not shown) of this label test rod 139 usefulness maintains primary importance 139A, fore-and-aft direction along chopping machine strides across label outlet 112, as shown in figure 13, upwards push away by the label 114c that is discharged into label outlet 112, thereby can upwards be pivoted away from label outlet 112, as shown in figure 14.
The photoelectrical coupler 140 that plays the effect of bar detecting unit is connected to the connecting portion 132 of unit framework 131.The detection range 140a of photoelectrical coupler 140 is positioned at the pivot center of paper in reel platen support frame 135.The far-end 139a of label test rod 139 is arranged in this detection range 140a.Upwards push away when label test rod 139 is discharged label 114c, and when being pivoted thus, far-end 139a is removed by the detection range 140a from photoelectrical coupler 140.When therefore label test rod 139 was no longer detected by photoelectrical coupler 140, photoelectrical coupler 140 output label detection signals, indicating label 114c were in the label outlet 112.
*The label distribution operation
The operation of mechanism for stripping 130 is described below.Can be according to ground distribution label of label distribution pattern or according to continuous label distribution mode continuous distribution label.In either case, however the label paper 114A with label 114c of length-specific is connected in paper bowl 114 the long paper coil paper 114b that twines with predetermined space, remains in the roller in the roller paper chamber 115.
In the label peeling pattern that label 114c is peeled off one at a time and distributes, as shown in figure 13, label paper 114A carries between paper in reel delivery roll 122 and paper in reel pressure roller 123 around stripper roll 121 therein, and from paper in reel outlet 111 outputs.When label paper 114A transmits by this path, paper in reel 114b discharges from paper in reel outlet 111, but the hardness that is attached to the label 114c of paper in reel 114b makes that each label 114c is continuous in stripper roll 121 along straight line, and inaccuracy ground is around stripper roll 121 usefulness paper in reel 114b bendings.
As shown in figure 14, when when the primary importance 139A that strides across label outlet 112 upwards pushes away label test rod 139, label 114c is discharged from.This makes the far-end 139a of label test rod 139 leave the detection range 140a of photoelectrical coupler 140, thus the output label detection signal, and indicating label is in label outlet 112.Thereby detect label from label outlet 112 distributions, stop to transmit label paper 114A, chopping machine is waited for label 114c to be removed.When the user removed label 114c, label test rod 139 returned primary importance 139A, and as shown in figure 13, photoelectrical coupler 140 outputs stop.Be removed thereby detect label 114c, do not have label to stay in the label outlet 112.Then can recover to transmit the label emissions operation of label paper 114A and printing.By repeating this operation, along with the operator removes the label of each distribution and emits label 114c one at a time.
In this embodiment of the invention, label test rod 139 is at its pivot point between label outlet 112 and paper in reel row path 118b.As a result, the label 114c that peels off from paper in reel 114b at stripper roll 121 places is prevented to dropping to paper in reel 114b, and is connected to paper in reel 114b in label outlet 112 again.More particularly, leading edge contact label test rod 139 at the label 114c that peels off from paper in reel 114b, label test rod 139 is pivoted along the label emission direction, and label 114c slides along the label mating surfaces 139b of label test rod 139, and guides at the label emission direction.
In this embodiment of the invention, flank (shoulder) 139c is formed on the label mating surfaces 139b of label test rod 139 of position of direct top of stripper roll 121.If label 114c falls after paper in reel 114b, then the leading edge of label 114c contacts this flank 139c, thereby is prevented falling stop easily to paper in reel 114b, and is directed to label outlet 112, combines with the rotation of label test rod 139.
The surface of label contact surface 139b is preferably formed at point or line place contact label 114c, makes label 114c slide reposefully on label contact surface 139b.Again preferably, label contact surface 139b is preferably less at the label emission direction, in the opposite direction bigger with respect to the sliding resistance of slip label 114c, thereby label 114c is guided along label contact surface 139b fast at the label emission direction.
The operation of the continuous sequence that is used for the label 114c on the feed roll paper 114b is described below with reference to Figure 15.
When operating in continuous label distribution pattern, platen support frame 135 is rotated to the second pivot location 135B from the first pivot location 135A, and label paper 114A sends via label outlet 112.As mentioned above, label test rod 139 by pivotal joint to the S. A. 123a that is supported on the paper in reel pressure roller 123 on the paper in reel platen support frame 135.Therefore, when paper in reel platen support frame 135 was moved into the second pivot location 135B, label test rod 139 contracted equally to second place 139B, and in this position, label test rod 139 does not disturb the label 114c that discharges from label outlet 112, as shown in figure 15.
As implied above, the label test rod 139 detection range 140a of photoelectrical coupler 140 are positioned at the pivot point place of paper in reel platen support frame 135.Therefore, even when the paper in reel platen support frame is pivoted to the second pivot location 135B, the terminal 139a of label test rod 139 is retained among the detection range 140a of photoelectrical coupler 140 equally.Therefore not from photoelectrical coupler 140 outputs, photoelectrical coupler 140 remains on output state to the label detection signal, and indicating label 114c is not in label outlet 112.In other words, the label detecting operation of photoelectrical coupler 140 is closed.
Therefore, can print the label 114c on the paper in reel 114b continuously, and not interrupt the transportation of label paper 114A, and the mode that can still be retained on the paper in reel 114b is discharged the label 114c that is printed continuously from label outlet 112.Therefore, what need not to do especially, also do not require operator's switching working mode, just label distribution pattern and label peeling pattern are controlled chopping machine identically continuously.
The chopping machine that has mechanism for stripping according to this embodiment of the invention is characterised in that to have: the mechanism for stripping of peeling off the label that is printed from paper in reel; The label of being stripped from is from the label outlet of its distribution; The label test rod is remained in the primary importance that exports across label by specific thrust, and can be pivotable on the label emission direction when upwards being pushed away by the label that is being discharged; And the bar detecting unit, be used for detecting during in above-mentioned primary importance when the label test rod.
When label was arranged discharging by this, label made the label test rod be pivotable on the label emission direction, and removes the label test rod from primary importance.As long as label is stayed in the label outlet, then label continues to press and pushes away the label test rod, so the label test rod can not be crossed the label outlet and returns primary importance.As long as from then on the bar detecting unit senses primary importance and remove the label test rod, then can not begin to be used to print and distribute the operation of next label.
Like this, whether stay in the label outlet by detecting label with the mechanical engagement of staying the label in the label outlet.And, because the bar detecting unit that is used for the position of tags detected test rod can be positioned at printer, thus can prevent that exterior light from influencing testing result, even when photoelectrical coupler or other optical pickocff are used for detecting unit, also be like this.Therefore, different when using the optical pickocff that outlet is provided with near label, for example can prevent because the detection mistake that exterior light causes, and can detect label reliably and whether stay in the label outlet.
And, if the discontiguous second place of label that the label test rod is retracted into and discharges when still being retained on the paper in reel continuously output label with label, then the bar detecting unit will be stably the tags detected test rod, and the output of bar detecting unit will always represent that label do not stay in the label outlet.Therefore, can be based on the output of bar detecting unit mode during with next distribution label control operation in the continuous label distribution pattern.Therefore, chopping machine is with two kinds of pattern work, and what need not to do especially, also do not require the different control operations in the different mode, also do not require operator's switching working mode.
Although invention has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments referring to accompanying drawing, should point out that various changes and modification are obvious to one skilled in the art.As long as this modification and change drop in the scope of the present invention that is limited by appended claims, then the present invention comprises this modification and change.
