Definitions
- the present invention relates to a scrap matrix winding device for continuous label paper and a method of winding a scrap matrix.
- scrap matrix winding device for continuous label paper
- a device which, after text and pictures are printed on the continuous label paper and a label base material and an adhesive layer of the continuous label paper are cut in a predetermined shape, winds an unnecessary scrap matrix which has been peeled off from backing paper on a scrap matrix winding shaft is known. It is difficult to secure strength in the scrap matrix after the label base material and the adhesive layer are cut out in a predetermined shape and there is a possibility of the scrap matrix being broken before reaching the scrap matrix winding shaft.
- the tension applied to the scrap matrix changes in accordance with a variation in a roll diameter of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft.
- the tension applied to the scrap matrix changes due to an influence of torque variation of a servomotor due to a mechanical loss in the mechanical system or acceleration and deceleration of a winding speed. Therefore, there is a possibility that the scrap matrix may be broken due to variation of the tension during winding of the scrap matrix.
- the scrap matrix has been subject to a process of cutting in a predetermined shape.
- the scrap matrix tends to shrink in a direction perpendicular to the direction of tension (width direction of the scrap matrix).
- the predetermined shape is circular or an irregular shape other than a rectangle
- an amount of shrinkage of the scrap matrix is not likely to be maintained constant. Therefore, the load may concentrate on a portion of the scrap matrix in which the amount of shrinkage is large and the scrap matrix may wave in a direction perpendicular to the direction of tension. In this state, when the tension of the scrap matrix changes, the scrap matrix tends to be broken easily.
- the amount of shrinkage in the width direction of the scrap matrix increases and areas on which the load concentrates increases. Further, when the amount of shrinkage in the width direction of the scrap matrix is large, a large roll diameter portion and a small roll diameter portion are generated in the wound scrap matrix, and the large roll diameter portion of the wound scrap matrix comes to have high tension.
- the scrap matrix tends to be broken at portions in which the amount of shrinkage in the width direction of the scrap matrix is large and thus the load concentrates, or in which the scrap matrix winding diameter is large and thus high tension is formed.
- scrap matrix winding devices for continuous label paper there is a device which brings an outer circumference of the scrap matrix wound around a scrap matrix winding shaft into pressure contact with a scrap matrix roll drive roller.
- the scrap matrix roll drive roller synchronously rotates at a conveying speed of the continuous label paper.
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No 2000-355459
- the scrap matrix may be easily broken due to vibration, which hinders a speed of winding the scrap matrix.

- a scrap matrix winding device for continuous label paper is a scrap matrix winding device for continuous label paper having a peeling roller which conveys the continuous label paper on which a half-cutting process has been performed and separates the continuous label paper into a cut product adhered to backing paper and a scrap matrix, including a scrap matrix winding shaft provided separately from the peeling roller and configured to wind the scrap matrix in a roll shape, a movement mechanism which is able to move the scrap matrix winding shaft away from the peeling roller, a first detecting portion provided in a conveying path of the continuous label paper and configured to detect a conveyance amount of the continuous label paper; a second detecting portion configured to detect one rotation of the scrap matrix winding shaft, and a calculation unit configured to obtain a roll diameter of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft on the basis of detection results of the first detecting portion and the second detecting portion each time the scrap matrix winding shaft makes one rotation, wherein control of moving the scrap matrix winding shaft away from
- the scrap matrix winding device may further include a tension adjusting portion provided on a drive side of the scrap matrix winding shaft and configured to adjust tension applied to the scrap matrix.
- the scrap matrix winding device may further include a touch roller which is able to come into contact with an outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft corresponding to a change in the roll diameter.
- a method of winding a scrap matrix of continuous label paper is a method of winding a scrap matrix of continuous label paper which conveys the continuous label paper on which a half-cutting process has been performed and separates the continuous label paper into a cut product adhered to backing paper and the scrap matrix by a peeling roller, and includes a scrap matrix winding process of winding the scrap matrix peeled off from the backing paper around a scrap matrix winding shaft, a roll diameter calculation process of obtaining a roll diameter of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft, and a scrap matrix winding shaft moving process of moving the scrap matrix winding shaft away from the peeling roller when the roll diameter obtained in the roll diameter calculation process is greater than a preset rising start roll diameter.
- the scrap matrix winding device for continuous label paper it is possible to move the scrap matrix winding shaft away from the peeling roller on the basis of the roll diameter of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft. Therefore, the distance between the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft and the outer circumferential surface of the peeling roller can be suppressed to be small (including a distance of zero). In other words, it is possible to suppress a scrap matrix path from the outer circumferential surface of the peeling roller to the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix to be small.
- the tension adjusting portion on the drive side of the scrap matrix winding shaft, it is possible to adjust the tension applied to the scrap matrix by winding to be maintained constant. Thereby, the scrap matrix is prevented from being broken due to variation of the tension at the time of winding, and the scrap matrix can be wound in a stable state.
- the touch roller is made so as to cope with the variation in the roll diameter and the touch roller is made to be able to come into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix. Therefore, the entire area of the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix can be flatly leveled by the touch roller. Thereby, it possible to more suitably maintain the distance between the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft and the outer circumferential surface of the peeling roller. Therefore, it is possible to further stabilize the tension generated in the scrap matrix during winding.
- the scrap matrix is wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft in the scrap matrix winding process and the roll diameter of the scrap matrix is obtained in the roll diameter calculation process.
- the scrap matrix winding shaft moving process when the roll diameter of the scrap matrix is greater than a preset rising start roll diameter, the scrap matrix winding shaft is moved away from the peeling roller.
- the distance between the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft and the outer circumferential surface of the peeling roller can be suppressed to be small (including a distance of zero). In other words, it is possible to suppress a scrap matrix path from the outer circumferential surface of the peeling roller to the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix to be small.

- the moving body 76 moves in the vertical direction, the axial position P of the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 is raised by a rising set value of the scrap matrix winding shaft which is set arbitrarily. That is, the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 is moved in a direction away from the fixed type peeling roller 47.
- the distance r between the outer circumferential surface 36a of the scrap matrix roll 37 and the outer circumferential surface 47a of the fixed type peeling roller 47 is set to such a distance that the scrap matrix roll 37 comes close to the fixed type peeling roller 47 to such an extent that the outer circumferential surface 36a of the scrap matrix roll 37 does not come in contact with the outer circumferential surface 47a of the fixed type peeling roller 47.
- the roll diameter D of the scrap matrix roll 37 is calculated again by the same method.
- a new "rising start roll diameter D1" of the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 is determined.
- the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 is raised on the basis of signals from the control unit 24.
- control unit 24 controls the vertical movement mechanism 16 to move the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 in a direction away from the fixed type peeling roller 47 or in a direction approaching the fixed type peeling roller 47.
- the state (A), the state (B), and the state (C) in FIG. 11 are front views showing a positional relationship of the scrap matrix winding shaft 51, the scrap matrix roll 37, and the fixed type peeling roller 47 at time points A, B, and C in FIG. 12.
- FIG. 12 is a graph showing an example of rising timing of the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 when a winding operation of the scrap matrix is executed.
- the distance r indicates the distance between the outer circumferential surface 36a of the scrap matrix roll 37 and the outer circumferential surface 47a of the fixed type peeling roller 47 or a distance between the outer circumferential surface 64a of the paper tube 64 and the outer circumferential surface 47a of the fixed type peeling roller 47.
- the axial position P indicates a distance between the outer circumferential surface 47a of the fixed type peeling roller 47 and the center 51a of the scrap matrix winding shaft 51.
- a tube diameter of the paper tube 64 is formed to be smaller than the rising start roll diameter D1.
- the paper tube 64 is set to have a tube diameter of 100 mm. Therefore, the distance r is maintained between the outer circumferential surface 64a of the paper tube 64 and the outer circumferential surface 47a of the fixed type peeling roller 47. Thereby, in a state in which the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 does not rise, the scrap matrix 36 is wound around the paper tube 64 of the scrap matrix winding shaft 51.
- the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 starts to rise. During the rise of the scrap matrix winding shaft 51, the scrap matrix 36 is continuously wound on the scrap matrix winding shaft 51. As the scrap matrix 36 is continuously wound around the paper tube 64 of the scrap matrix winding shaft 51, the roll diameter D of the scrap matrix roll 37 increases. In this state, the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 is raised. Therefore, the distance r between the outer circumferential surface 36a of the scrap matrix roll 37 and the outer circumferential surface 47a of the fixed type peeling roller 47 increases toward the rising set value of the scrap matrix winding shaft which is set in advance.
- the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 when the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 is at the time point of a rotation speed C, the rising value of the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 reaches the rising set value of the scrap matrix winding shaft (for example, 5.0 mm) which is set in advance. Therefore, the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 stops rising.
- a roll diameter obtained by adding the arbitrarily set increment of the radial dimension (for example, 3.0 mm) to the roll diameter D at the time when the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 stops rising is defined as a new rising start roll diameter D1. Then, until the roll diameter D reaches the rising start roll diameter D1, the scrap matrix 36 is wound without raising the scrap matrix winding shaft 51.
- the distance r between the outer circumferential surface 36a of the scrap matrix roll 37 and the outer circumferential surface 47a of the fixed type peeling roller 47 is usually set in a range of 0.0 ⁇ r ⁇ 5.0 mm.
- the distance r between the outer circumferential surface 36a of the scrap matrix roll 37 and the outer circumferential surface 47a of the fixed type peeling roller 47 can be suppressed to be small (including the distance r of zero). In other words, it is possible to suppress the scrap matrix path from the outer circumferential surface 47a of the fixed type peeling roller 47 to the outer circumferential surface 36a of the scrap matrix roll 37 to be small.
- the predetermined shape of the label 34 is a circular or an irregular shape other than a rectangle, by stabilizing the tension generated in the scrap matrix 36 being winding, it is possible to prevent breaking of the scrap matrix 36 to the utmost.
- the increment of the radial dimension is set to 3.0 mm and the rising set value of the scrap matrix winding shaft is set to 5.0 mm
- the increment of the radial dimension and the rising set value of the scrap matrix winding shaft are not limited to 3.0 mm or 5.0 mm respectively. That is, the raising of the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 may be controlled so that the distance r between the outer circumferential surface 64a of the paper tube 64 fixed to the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 by the lug 62 or the outer circumferential surface 36a of the scrap matrix roll 37 and the outer circumferential surface 47a of the fixed type peeling roller 47 is maintained within a certain range.
- a thickness dimension of the continuous label paper 30 may be measured before the start of winding and the rising set value of the scrap matrix winding shaft may be changed according to the measured value. Further, the value may be changed depending on types of the continuous label paper 30 and the winding speed.
- the vertical movement mechanism 16 of the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 may manually vertically move the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 when the winding operation is stopped.
- the manual operation of the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 is used, for example, when removing the scrap matrix roll from the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 when the scrap matrix roll 37 reaches the maximum roll diameter.
- the moving body 76 is vertically moved by the pair of linear motion guides 75 and the pair of ball screws 77, but the moving method of the moving body 76 is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a scrap matrix winding device for continuous label paper and a method of winding a scrap matrix.
- Priority is claimed on Japanese Patent Application No.
2017-154396, filed August 09, 2017 - As a scrap matrix winding device for continuous label paper, a device which, after text and pictures are printed on the continuous label paper and a label base material and an adhesive layer of the continuous label paper are cut in a predetermined shape, winds an unnecessary scrap matrix which has been peeled off from backing paper on a scrap matrix winding shaft is known. It is difficult to secure strength in the scrap matrix after the label base material and the adhesive layer are cut out in a predetermined shape and there is a possibility of the scrap matrix being broken before reaching the scrap matrix winding shaft.
- Therefore, it is not preferable to apply strong tension to the scrap matrix after the scrap matrix is peeled off from the backing paper until the scrap matrix reaches the scrap matrix winding shaft.
- Here, when a torque of the scrap matrix winding shaft is constant, the tension applied to the scrap matrix changes in accordance with a variation in a roll diameter of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft. In addition, the tension applied to the scrap matrix changes due to an influence of torque variation of a servomotor due to a mechanical loss in the mechanical system or acceleration and deceleration of a winding speed. Therefore, there is a possibility that the scrap matrix may be broken due to variation of the tension during winding of the scrap matrix.
- Further, the scrap matrix has been subject to a process of cutting in a predetermined shape. Thus, when tension is applied in a conveying direction, the scrap matrix tends to shrink in a direction perpendicular to the direction of tension (width direction of the scrap matrix). Here, when the predetermined shape is circular or an irregular shape other than a rectangle, an amount of shrinkage of the scrap matrix is not likely to be maintained constant. Therefore, the load may concentrate on a portion of the scrap matrix in which the amount of shrinkage is large and the scrap matrix may wave in a direction perpendicular to the direction of tension. In this state, when the tension of the scrap matrix changes, the scrap matrix tends to be broken easily.
- Particularly, when a section of the scrap matrix from being peeled off from the backing paper until reaching the scrap matrix winding shaft (hereinafter referred to as "scrap matrix path") is long, the amount of shrinkage in the width direction of the scrap matrix increases and areas on which the load concentrates increases. Further, when the amount of shrinkage in the width direction of the scrap matrix is large, a large roll diameter portion and a small roll diameter portion are generated in the wound scrap matrix, and the large roll diameter portion of the wound scrap matrix comes to have high tension.
- The scrap matrix tends to be broken at portions in which the amount of shrinkage in the width direction of the scrap matrix is large and thus the load concentrates, or in which the scrap matrix winding diameter is large and thus high tension is formed.
- In order to suppress breaking of the scrap matrix, among scrap matrix winding devices for continuous label paper, there is a device which brings an outer circumference of the scrap matrix wound around a scrap matrix winding shaft into pressure contact with a scrap matrix roll drive roller. The scrap matrix roll drive roller synchronously rotates at a conveying speed of the continuous label paper.
- When the outer circumference of the scrap matrix is brought into pressure contact with the scrap matrix roll drive roller, an adhesive layer of the scrap matrix is affixed to the scrap matrix winding shaft. In this state, the scrap matrix winding shaft is driven to rotate, and the scrap matrix is continuously wound in a roll shape. According to such a scrap matrix winding device for continuous label paper, it is possible to wind the scrap matrix without applying tension to the scrap matrix, and it is possible to suppress breaking of the scrap matrix (for example, see Patent Document 1).
- [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No
2000-355459 - Here, when a cut area of the continuous label paper (that is, an area of a predetermined shape) is large, a shape of the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft is distorted. Therefore, in the scrap matrix winding device for continuous label paper of
Patent Document 1, in a state in which the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix is distorted, the scrap matrix is brought into pressure contact with the scrap matrix roll drive roller. Therefore, there is a possibility of vibration occurring in the scrap matrix. - Here, in general, when the cut area of the continuous label paper increases, the area of the scrap matrix decreases. Therefore, the scrap matrix may be easily broken due to vibration, which hinders a speed of winding the scrap matrix.
- Therefore, the present invention provides a scrap matrix winding device for continuous label paper and a method of winding a scrap matrix which can suppress breaking of the scrap matrix and increase a winding speed of the scrap matrix.
- To solve the above problem, a scrap matrix winding device for continuous label paper according to one aspect of the present invention is a scrap matrix winding device for continuous label paper having a peeling roller which conveys the continuous label paper on which a half-cutting process has been performed and separates the continuous label paper into a cut product adhered to backing paper and a scrap matrix, including a scrap matrix winding shaft provided separately from the peeling roller and configured to wind the scrap matrix in a roll shape, a movement mechanism which is able to move the scrap matrix winding shaft away from the peeling roller, a first detecting portion provided in a conveying path of the continuous label paper and configured to detect a conveyance amount of the continuous label paper; a second detecting portion configured to detect one rotation of the scrap matrix winding shaft, and a calculation unit configured to obtain a roll diameter of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft on the basis of detection results of the first detecting portion and the second detecting portion each time the scrap matrix winding shaft makes one rotation, wherein control of moving the scrap matrix winding shaft away from the peeling roller is performed on the basis of the roll diameter obtained by the calculation unit.
- The scrap matrix winding device according to one aspect of the present invention may further include a tension adjusting portion provided on a drive side of the scrap matrix winding shaft and configured to adjust tension applied to the scrap matrix.
- The scrap matrix winding device according to one aspect of the present invention may further include a touch roller which is able to come into contact with an outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft corresponding to a change in the roll diameter.
- A method of winding a scrap matrix of continuous label paper according to one aspect of the present invention is a method of winding a scrap matrix of continuous label paper which conveys the continuous label paper on which a half-cutting process has been performed and separates the continuous label paper into a cut product adhered to backing paper and the scrap matrix by a peeling roller, and includes a scrap matrix winding process of winding the scrap matrix peeled off from the backing paper around a scrap matrix winding shaft, a roll diameter calculation process of obtaining a roll diameter of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft, and a scrap matrix winding shaft moving process of moving the scrap matrix winding shaft away from the peeling roller when the roll diameter obtained in the roll diameter calculation process is greater than a preset rising start roll diameter.
- According to the scrap matrix winding device for continuous label paper, it is possible to move the scrap matrix winding shaft away from the peeling roller on the basis of the roll diameter of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft. Therefore, the distance between the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft and the outer circumferential surface of the peeling roller can be suppressed to be small (including a distance of zero). In other words, it is possible to suppress a scrap matrix path from the outer circumferential surface of the peeling roller to the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix to be small.
- Thereby, even when a predetermined shape of the cut product is circular or an irregular shape other than a rectangle, by stabilizing tension generated in the scrap matrix during winding, it is possible to prevent breaking of the scrap matrix to the utmost.
- In addition, by suppressing the scrap matrix path from the outer circumferential surface of the peeling roller to the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix to be small, compared to the conventional art, it is possible to suppress breaking of the scrap matrix even when strong tension is applied to the scrap matrix.
- Further, by suppressing breaking of the scrap matrix, it is possible to increase a speed at which the scrap matrix is wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft. Thereby, it is possible to increase a printing speed of the continuous label paper and to significantly improve the productivity of the cut product.
- In addition, by providing the tension adjusting portion on the drive side of the scrap matrix winding shaft, it is possible to adjust the tension applied to the scrap matrix by winding to be maintained constant. Thereby, the scrap matrix is prevented from being broken due to variation of the tension at the time of winding, and the scrap matrix can be wound in a stable state.
- Further, the touch roller is made so as to cope with the variation in the roll diameter and the touch roller is made to be able to come into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix. Therefore, the entire area of the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix can be flatly leveled by the touch roller. Thereby, it possible to more suitably maintain the distance between the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft and the outer circumferential surface of the peeling roller. Therefore, it is possible to further stabilize the tension generated in the scrap matrix during winding.
- According to the method of winding a scrap matrix of continuous label paper according to the present invention, the scrap matrix is wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft in the scrap matrix winding process and the roll diameter of the scrap matrix is obtained in the roll diameter calculation process. In addition, in the scrap matrix winding shaft moving process, when the roll diameter of the scrap matrix is greater than a preset rising start roll diameter, the scrap matrix winding shaft is moved away from the peeling roller.
- Therefore, the distance between the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft and the outer circumferential surface of the peeling roller can be suppressed to be small (including a distance of zero). In other words, it is possible to suppress a scrap matrix path from the outer circumferential surface of the peeling roller to the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix to be small.
- Thereby, even when a predetermined shape of the cut product is circular or an irregular shape other than a rectangle, by stabilizing tension generated in the scrap matrix during winding, it is possible to prevent breaking of the scrap matrix to the utmost.
- In addition, by suppressing the scrap matrix path from the outer circumferential surface of the peeling roller to the outer circumferential surface of the scrap matrix to be small, compared to the conventional art, it is possible to suppress breaking of the scrap matrix even when strong tension is applied to the scrap matrix.
- Further, by suppressing breaking of the scrap matrix, it is possible to increase a speed at which the scrap matrix is wound around the scrap matrix winding shaft. Thereby, it is possible to increase a printing speed of the continuous label paper and to significantly improve the productivity of the cut product.

- As shown in
FIGS. 1 and2 , a scrapmatrix winding device 10 for continuous label paper includes aframe 12, a windingmechanism 14, a vertical movement mechanism (movement mechanism) 16, atouch roller mechanism 18, adetection unit 20, acalculation unit 22, and acontrol unit 24. In the following description, the scrapmatrix winding device 10 for continuous label paper will simply be called a "scrapmatrix winding device 10." - As shown in
FIGS. 2 and3 ,continuous label paper 30 is conveyed to the scrapmatrix winding device 10 in a direction indicated by an arrow A. Thecontinuous label paper 30 is formed by adhering alabel base material 32 to backingpaper 31 with an adhesive layer (not shown) interposed therebetween. A printing process in which text or pictures are printed on thelabel base material 32 of thecontinuous label paper 30 is performed at an upstream side in a conveying direction of the scrapmatrix winding device 10 or in a printing portion provided in a device of another line. - In a processing process after the printing process, a half-cutting process of a cut product (hereinafter referred to as labels) 34 is applied to the
label base material 32 and the adhesive layer by a carving knife, a corrosion blade (that is, a flexible die), or a laser beam. In the half-cutting process, a process in which a predetermined shape is fringed down to thelabel base material 32 and the adhesive layer of thecontinuous label paper 30 is performed excluding thebacking paper 31. - After the half-cutting process of the
label 34 is applied to thecontinuous label paper 30, ascrap matrix 36 is peeled off from thebacking paper 31 of thecontinuous label paper 30 by a fixed type peeling roller (peeling roller) 47. That is, by the fixedtype peeling roller 47, thelabel base material 32 of thecontinuous label paper 30 is separated into thelabels 34 affixed to thebacking paper 31 and thescrap matrix 36 peeled off from thebacking paper 31. Thelabels 34 affixed to thebacking paper 31 are conveyed in a direction indicated by the arrow B. On the other hand, thescrap matrix 36 peeled off from thebacking paper 31 is affixed to apaper tube 64 of a scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 and is wound in a roll shape by rotation of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. - Hereinafter, the
scrap matrix 36 wound in a roll shape around the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is referred to as a "scrap matrix roll 37." - Hereinafter, configurations of the scrap
matrix winding device 10 will be described with reference toFIGS. 1 to 10 . - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and5 , the windingmechanism 14, thevertical movement mechanism 16, thetouch roller mechanism 18, and thedetection unit 20 are supported by theframe 12 of the scrapmatrix winding device 10. Further, a conveyingroller 41, anip roller 42, and guiderollers 43 to 45 are rotatably supported by theframe 12. The conveyingroller 41 sandwiches and conveys thecontinuous label paper 30 together with thenip roller 42. - The conveying
roller 41, thenip roller 42 and theguide rollers 43 to 45 are, for example, provided in order from an upstream side of a conveying path of thecontinuous label paper 30 to form the conveying path of thecontinuous label paper 30. - Further, the fixed
type peeling roller 47 is rotatably supported by theframe 12. In addition, anescape hole 48 is formed in theframe 12. Theescape hole 48 extends in a vertical direction so that the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 can move in the vertical direction. - The winding
mechanism 14 includes the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51, a powder clutch (a tension adjusting portion) 53, and afirst servomotor 55. The scrapmatrix winding shaft 51, thepowder clutch 53, and thefirst servomotor 55 are attached to a movingbody 76 of thevertical movement mechanism 16. - The scrap
matrix winding shaft 51 is rotatably supported by anupper portion 85a of a first table 85 of the movingbody 76 via bearings. The scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is provided on an upper side in the vertical direction with respect to aroller center 47b of the fixedtype peeling roller 47. - Further, the scrap
matrix winding shaft 51 is formed in a hollow shape having a circular cross section. A plurality of elongated holes (slits) 57 extending in an axial direction are formed on a circumference of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. Afirst timing pulley 58 is coaxially mounted on the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. - A rubber tube is elastically deformably accommodated inside the scrap
matrix winding shaft 51. Metal claws (hereinafter referred to as lugs) 62 are set on an outer circumference of the rubber tube. An air flow path communicates through the inside of the rubber tube. The air flow path communicates with an air supply source via a rotary joint 63. - Air supplied from the air supply source is filled into the rubber tube through the rotary joint 63 and the air flow path. Accordingly, the rubber tube expands toward a radial outer side, and the
lugs 62 protrude toward the radial outer side from theelongated holes 57 of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. Here, the paper tube 64 (seeFIG. 2 ) is fitted to the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. Therefore, thelugs 62 protruding from theelongated holes 57 of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 abut against an inner surface of thepaper tube 64, and thepaper tube 64 is coaxially fixed to the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. - In the present embodiment, an example in which the
lugs 62 protrude toward the radial outer side using air pressure has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As another example, for example, thelugs 62 may mechanically protrude toward the radial outer side. - A
rotation stopper bracket 65 is attached to a case of the rotary joint 63. - The
rotation stopper bracket 65 is attached to a second table 86 of the movingbody 76. Therefore, accompanying rotation of the case of the rotary joint 63 is prevented by therotation stopper bracket 65. - As shown in
FIGS. 4 to 6 , thefirst servomotor 55 is connected to the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 via thepowder clutch 53. Thefirst servomotor 55 is attached to aplate 83 at a lower portion of the second table 86. Theplate 83 is attached to the lower portion of the second table 86. - Specifically, a plurality of first
elongated holes 86a are formed on the lower portion of the second table 86 to extend in the vertical direction. Theplate 83 is attached to the lower portion of the second table 86 usingfirst bolts 81 penetrating the plurality of firstelongated holes 86a. Thefirst servomotor 55 is attached to the lower portion of the second table 86 of the movingbody 76 via theplate 83. - Therefore, it is possible to move the
first servomotor 55 in the vertical direction by moving theplate 83 in the vertical direction by loosening thefirst bolts 81. That is, a position of thefirst servomotor 55 can be adjusted in the vertical direction with respect to thepowder clutch 53. - A
second timing pulley 66 is coaxially mounted on an output shaft of thefirst servomotor 55. - In the second table 86, the
powder clutch 53 is disposed between thefirst servomotor 55 and the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. Here, a plurality of secondelongated holes 86b are formed on an upper portion of the second table 86 to extend in the vertical direction.Second bolts 97 are configured to pass through the plurality of secondelongated holes 86b to be able to screw into a pair of connectingmembers 87. The second table 86 can be fixed by tightening thesecond bolts 97. - Therefore, it is possible to move the
powder clutch 53 in the vertical direction by moving the second table 86 in the vertical direction by loosening thesecond bolts 97. That is, a position of thepowder clutch 53 can be adjusted in the vertical direction with respect to the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. - The
powder clutch 53 is provided on a drive side of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. Thepowder clutch 53 is generally used, for example, for production of long articles. Thepowder clutch 53 uses a powder (a magnetic iron powder) for torque transmission, and has both smoothness of a fluid clutch and high-efficiency connectivity of a friction plate type clutch. - That is, by smoothly sliding the
powder clutch 53, variation of tension applied to thescrap matrix 36 can be maintained constant. In addition, a setting torque of thepowder clutch 53 can be changed in stages according to a roll diameter D (seeFIG. 2 ) of thescrap matrix roll 37. Therefore, by providing thepowder clutch 53 on the drive side of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51, it is possible to adjust the tension applied to thescrap matrix 36 of thescrap matrix roll 37 so that variation of the tension is maintained constant. - Thereby, it is possible to prevent the
scrap matrix 36 from being broken due to variation of the tension applied to thescrap matrix 36. - As shown in
FIGS. 2 and3 , in the present embodiment, the rotation speed of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is set so that, when the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 is a minimum (that is, when the roll diameter D is the diameter of the paper tube 64), a winding amount of thescrap matrix 36 is at least the same as a conveyance amount of thecontinuous label paper 30 in the conveying path or a constant value greater than the conveyance amount. - Therefore, the
scrap matrix 36 is wound around the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 without slackening. On the other hand, when the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 increases, the winding amount of thescrap matrix 36 around the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 increases relative to the conveyance amount of thecontinuous label paper 30 in the conveying path. In this case, since the tension applied to thescrap matrix 36 increases, the setting torque of the powder clutch 53 (seeFIG. 6 ) is adjusted accordingly in stages. - As shown in
FIGS. 2 and5 , tension is applied to thescrap matrix 36 of thescrap matrix roll 37. - The tension varies under the influence of a change in the roll diameter D of the
scrap matrix roll 37, mechanical loss of the mechanical system, or torque variation at the time of acceleration and deceleration of thefirst servomotor 55. As thepowder clutch 53 is interposed between the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 and thefirst servomotor 55, variation in the tension applied to thescrap matrix 36 can be maintained constant. - In addition, the
powder clutch 53 also has a structure capable of changing the setting torque in stages according to the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 to cope with the variation in the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37. That is, the tension applied to thescrap matrix 36 varies according to the change in the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 when the torque of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is constant. Therefore, as the setting torque of thepowder clutch 53 is changed in stages in accordance with the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37, the variation of the tension can be maintained constant. - As described above, since the
powder clutch 53 is provided on the drive side of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51, the tension applied to thescrap matrix 36 by winding can be maintained constant. As a result, thescrap matrix 36 is prevented from being broken due to variation of the tension at the time of winding, and thescrap matrix 36 can be wound in a stable state. - The setting torque of the
powder clutch 53 can be changed on a monitor screen installed in the scrapmatrix winding device 10. - The
powder clutch 53 is attached to the upper portion of the second table 86 of the movingbody 76. Athird timing pulley 68 is coaxially attached to an input shaft of thepowder clutch 53. In addition, afourth timing pulley 69 is coaxially attached to an output shaft of thepowder clutch 53. Thethird timing pulley 68 is connected to thefourth timing pulley 69 via the input shaft and the output shaft of thepowder clutch 53. - The
second timing pulley 66 of thefirst servomotor 55 is connected to thethird timing pulley 68 of thepowder clutch 53 via afirst timing belt 71. Tension of thefirst timing belt 71 is suitably adjusted by loosening the plurality of first bolts 81 (seeFIG. 4 ) and moving thefirst servomotor 55 in the vertical direction. - Also, the
fourth timing pulley 69 of thepowder clutch 53 is connected to thefirst timing pulley 58 of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 via asecond timing belt 72. Tension of thesecond timing belt 72 is suitably adjusted by loosening the plurality of second bolts 97 (seeFIG. 4 ) and moving thepowder clutch 53 in the vertical direction. - In this state, when the
second timing pulley 66 is rotated by thefirst servomotor 55, the rotation of the second timing pulley is transmitted to thethird timing pulley 68 of thepowder clutch 53 via thefirst timing belt 71. As thethird timing pulley 68 rotates, the input shaft of thepowder clutch 53 rotates. - As the input shaft of the
powder clutch 53 rotates, the output shaft of thepowder clutch 53 rotates. As the output shaft of thepowder clutch 53 rotates, thefourth timing pulley 69 rotates. The rotation of thefourth timing pulley 69 is transmitted to thefirst timing pulley 58 via thesecond timing belt 72. As thefirst timing pulley 58 rotates, the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 rotates in the winding direction of thescrap matrix 36. As a result, thescrap matrix 36 is wound around thepaper tube 64 of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. - Here, the
fourth timing pulley 69 and thefirst timing pulley 58 have the same number of teeth. Therefore, the rotation speed of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is the same as the rotation speed of the output shaft of thepowder clutch 53. Thesecond timing pulley 66 of the output shaft of thefirst servomotor 55 and thethird timing pulley 68 of the input shaft of thepowder clutch 53 are formed to have the same number of teeth as thefourth timing pulley 69 of the output shaft of thepowder clutch 53. - Since the
powder clutch 53 is interposed between the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 and thefirst servomotor 55, variation of the tension applied to thescrap matrix 36 can be maintained constant by thepowder clutch 53. - Also, the tension applied to the
scrap matrix 36 varies according to the change in the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 as long as the torque of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is constant. The setting torque of thepowder clutch 53 can be changed in stages according to the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 to cope with the variation of the roll diameter D. - Thereby, it is possible to prevent the
scrap matrix 36 from being broken due to variation of the tension applied to thescrap matrix 36. - A connection between the
first servomotor 55, thepowder clutch 53, and the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is not limited to the configuration of the present embodiment. It is sufficient if the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 and thefirst servomotor 55 are connected via thepowder clutch 53. - The winding
mechanism 14 is attached to the movingbody 76 of thevertical movement mechanism 16. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and5 , thevertical movement mechanism 16 includes a pair of linear motion guides 75, the movingbody 76, a pair of ball screws 77, a pair of drivengears 78, a pair of drive gears 79, and asecond servomotor 82. - The pair of linear motion guides 75 are attached to opposite sides of the
escape hole 48 in theframe 12. The pair of linear motion guides 75 extend in the vertical direction along theescape hole 48. The movingbody 76 is supported by the pair of linear motion guides 75 to be movable in the vertical direction. - The moving
body 76 includes a plurality ofsliders 84, the first table 85, and the second table 86. The plurality ofsliders 84 are movably supported by the pair of linear motion guides 75. - Specifically, for example, two
sliders 84 are movably supported by one of the pair of linear motion guides 75 at an interval in the vertical direction, and twosliders 84 are movably supported by the other of the pair of linear motion guides 75 at an interval in the vertical direction. - The plurality of
sliders 84 are attached to the first table 85. The second table 86 is attached to the first table 85 via the connectingmembers 87. - That is, the plurality of
sliders 84, the first table 85, the connectingmembers 87, and the second table 86 are integrally attached. Therefore, the plurality ofsliders 84, the first table 85, the connectingmembers 87, and the second table 86 are supported by the pair of linear motion guides 75 to be movable in the vertical direction. The windingmechanism 14 is attached to the first table 85 and the second table 86. That is, the windingmechanism 14 is supported by the pair of linear motion guides 75 via the movingbody 76 to be movable in the vertical direction. The pair of ball screws 77 are provided on opposite sides of the movingbody 76. - In the
frame 12, the pair of ball screws 77 are rotatably attached on opposite sides of the movingbody 76 at positions further away from theescape hole 48 than the pair of linear motion guides 75 via upper andlower bearings 88. The pair of ball screws 77 extend in the vertical direction along theescape hole 48. Nuts (not shown) are rotatably supported by the pair of ball screws 77, and the nuts are supported by a connectingbracket 92. The connectingbracket 92 is attached to the connecting member 87 (see alsoFIG. 4 ). - The pair of driven
gears 78 are attached to lower end portions of the pair of ball screws 77. Specifically, one of the pair of drivengears 78 is coaxially attached to one of the pair of ball screws 77. Also, the other of the pair of drivengears 78 is coaxially attached to the other of the pair of ball screws 77. The pair of drivengears 78 are bevel gears. - The pair of drive gears 79 engage with the pair of driven gears 78. That is, one of the pair of drive gears 79 engages with one of the pair of driven gears 78. Also, the other of the pair of drive gears 79 engages with the other of the pair of driven gears 78.
- The pair of drive gears 79 are bevel gears and are coaxially attached to vicinities of opposite end portions of the
rotating shaft 89. The opposite end portions of therotating shaft 89 are rotatably supported by theframe 12 viabearings 91. Afifth timing pulley 93 is coaxially attached to a central portion of therotating shaft 89. Thesecond servomotor 82 is attached below the rotatingshaft 89. - The
second servomotor 82 is attached to theframe 12 via a mountingbracket 94. Asixth timing pulley 95 is coaxially attached to an output shaft of thesecond servomotor 82. Thesixth timing pulley 95 of thesecond servomotor 82 is connected to thefifth timing pulley 93 of therotating shaft 89 via athird timing belt 96. Tension of thethird timing belt 96 is suitably adjusted by moving thesecond servomotor 82 in the vertical direction. - In this state, when the
sixth timing pulley 95 is rotated by thesecond servomotor 82, the rotation of the sixth timing pulley is transmitted to thefifth timing pulley 93 of therotating shaft 89 via thethird timing belt 96. As thefifth timing pulley 93 rotates, the pair of drive gears 79 rotate via the rotatingshaft 89. - As the pair of drive gears 79 rotate, the pair of driven
gears 78 rotate. - As the pair of driven
gears 78 rotate, the pair of ball screws 77 rotate. As the pair of ball screws 77 rotate, the connecting bracket 92 (that is, the moving body 76) moves in the vertical direction. - The winding
mechanism 14 is attached to the first table 85 and the second table 86 of the movingbody 76. When the movingbody 76 moves in the vertical direction, the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 of the windingmechanism 14 moves in the vertical direction. - As shown in
FIGS. 5 and7 , by moving the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 in the vertical direction (a direction of the arrow C) with thevertical movement mechanism 16, it is possible to move the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 in the vertical direction corresponding to the change in the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37. In other words, the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 can be moved away from the fixedtype peeling roller 47 or toward the fixedtype peeling roller 47 by thevertical movement mechanism 16. - Accordingly, the scrap
matrix winding shaft 51 can be adjusted to a position at which an outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and an outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 come just close enough to each other not to come in contact, or to a so-called "kiss touch position" in which the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 barely come into contact with each other. - The touch roller mechanism 18 (see
FIG. 6 ) is provided above thevertical movement mechanism 16 and the windingmechanism 14. - As shown in
FIGS. 8 and9 , thetouch roller mechanism 18 includes arotary actuator 101, anarm 102, atouch roller 103, and aload block 104. Further, inFIG. 9 , in order to facilitate understanding of the configuration of thetouch roller mechanism 18, thetouch roller 103 is shown in a state in which it is arranged upward for convenience. - The
rotary actuator 101 is attached to anupper end portion 12a of theframe 12 via asupport bracket 106. Acentral portion 102a (hereinafter referred to as an arm center portion) of thearm 102 is attached to arotation support shaft 107 of therotary actuator 101. - Therefore, the
arm 102 is urged in a direction of an arrow E by an urging force of therotary actuator 101. Thetouch roller 103 is attached to oneend portion 102b of thearm 102. - That is, the
touch roller mechanism 18 is a swing type touch roller attached to therotation support shaft 107 of therotary actuator 101. - The
touch roller 103 includes aroller shaft 108 attached to oneend portion 102b of thearm 102 and a rollermain body 112 supported by theroller shaft 108. Abase end portion 108a of theroller shaft 108 is attached to oneend portion 102b of thearm 102. Theroller shaft 108 extends across (specifically, perpendicular to) thearm 102. The rollermain body 112 is attached coaxially and rotatably to theroller shaft 108 via abearing 109. - The
load block 104 is attached to theother end portion 102c of thearm 102. Theload block 104 is supported to be movable along thearm 102 by loosening an adjustingbolt 114. Therefore, a mounting position of theload block 104 can be adjusted. - When the
load block 104 is attached to theother end portion 102c of thearm 102, balance with the urging force of therotary actuator 101 is maintained. Therefore, it is possible to suitably adjust a contact force on the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 by the touch roller 103 (that is, the roller main body 112). - In addition, the
arm 102 is supported to be able to swing about therotation support shaft 107. Therefore, it is possible to move thetouch roller 103 corresponding to the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37. That is, thetouch roller 103 can be brought into contact with the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 corresponding to the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37. - Here, a rotation angle of the
rotation support shaft 107 of therotary actuator 101 is set such that thetouch roller 103 can be swung to a swing angle of thearm 102 when the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 reaches a maximum diameter. - An air pressure of the
touch roller 103 can be adjusted by a regulator provided in the air piping path. For example, by adjusting the air pressure of the regulator in a range of 0.0 to 0.1 MPa, a contact pressure of thetouch roller 103 can be arbitrarily adjusted according to conditions such as a type of the continuous label paper 30 (seeFIG. 3 ) and a cut area. - That is, the
touch roller 103 is adjusted to come into contact with the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 with a slight pressure so as not to generate vibration. By applying a slight pressure so as not to generate vibration on the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37, it is possible to prevent winding collapse of thescrap matrix 36 that is being wound on the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 and excessive entrainment of air between layers of thewound scrap matrix 36. In other words, a roll shape of thescrap matrix roll 37 can be suitably corrected by thetouch roller 103. - Since the roll shape of the
scrap matrix roll 37 is corrected (modified) with thetouch roller 103, irregularities of the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 can be made uniform to some extent. Thereby, it is possible to suppress variation of tension caused by the irregularities of the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 to some extent. - Also, the irregularities of the outer
circumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 are made uniform. Accordingly, even when the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 are in contact with each other, it is possible to prevent generation of vibration caused from the irregularities of the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 being pressed against the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47. - In this manner, the
touch roller 103 is made to correspond to the change in the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 so that thetouch roller 103 is able to come into contact with the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37. Therefore, the entire area of the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 can be flatly leveled by thetouch roller 103. Thereby, it is possible to suitably maintain a distance r between the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47. Therefore, it is possible to satisfactorily stabilize the tension generated in thescrap matrix 36 being wound on the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. - Here, a
swing fixing portion 105 which fixes thetouch roller 103 to theframe 12 is provided so as not to swing thetouch roller 103 when thetouch roller 103 is not used. Theswing fixing portion 105 includes a fixingpin 123 and achain 124. The fixingpin 123 is connected to theframe 12 via thechain 124. Also, a mountinghole 102d is formed on oneend portion 102b side of thearm 102. When thetouch roller 103 is not used, the fixingpin 123 is inserted into the mountinghole 102d. Thereby, thechain 124 is tightly stretched and can fix thetouch roller 103 to theframe 12 so as not to swing thetouch roller 103 against the urging force of therotary actuator 101. - Further, in the present embodiment, an example in which the
rotary actuator 101 is used as a swinging member of thearm 102 has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As another example, for example, a rubber damper or the like may be used. - As shown in
FIGS. 4 and6 , thedetection unit 20 includes afirst sensor 116, asecond sensor 117, a third sensor (second detecting portion) 118, and a line encoder (first detecting portion) 119 (seeFIG. 8 ). - The
first sensor 116 is attached to anupper portion 12b of theframe 12 via afirst mounting bracket 127. Thefirst sensor 116 detects adetection piece 128. Thedetection piece 128 is attached to anend portion 85c of aside surface 85b of the first table 85. When thedetection piece 128 is detected by thefirst sensor 116, an upper limit of the first table 85 (that is, the moving body 76) moving in the vertical direction is determined. - The
second sensor 117 is attached to aportion 12c closer to a lower portion than theupper portion 12b of theframe 12 via asecond mounting bracket 129. Thesecond sensor 117 detects thedetection piece 128. When thedetection piece 128 is detected by thesecond sensor 117, a lower limit of the first table 85 (that is, the moving body 76) moving in the vertical direction is determined. - Here, mounting positions and detection positions of the
first sensors 116 and thesecond sensors 117, and the number offirst sensors 116 andsecond sensors 117 are not limited to that of the embodiment. For example, thefirst sensors 116 and thesecond sensors 117 may be attached from the front side of the first table 85. In addition, an elongated hole in a length of a maximum movement amount +α may be provided at the front of theslider 84 and a single sensor may be provided on the front side of theslider 84. Alternatively, theside surface 85b of the first table 85 may be scraped down into a stepped shape in upper and lower end directions, a convex state may be made to be movement amount + α, and a determination may be made with a sensor provided at one location. - The
third sensor 118 is attached to abracket 121 on the output shaft side of thepowder clutch 53. Specifically, aplate 122 is attached to the output shaft side of thepowder clutch 53. Oneend 121a of thebracket 121 is attached to a lower end portion of theplate 122. Thethird sensor 118 is attached to theother end 121b of thebracket 121. - In addition, a
rotating body 132 is coaxially provided on thefourth timing pulley 69 of the output shaft of thepowder clutch 53, and adetection piece 133 is provided on an outer circumference of therotating body 132. - Here, the
fourth timing pulley 69 of the output shaft of thepowder clutch 53 and thefirst timing pulley 58 of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 are formed to have the same number of teeth. That is, the rotation speed of the rotating body 132 (that is, the detection piece 133) is the same as the rotation speed of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. Therefore, when thedetection piece 133 is detected with thethird sensor 118, one rotation of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is detected. - Hereinafter, a pulse signal indicating the rotation speed of the scrap
matrix winding shaft 51 is referred to as "winding pulse." - Here, mounting positions of the
third sensor 118 and thedetection piece 133 are not limited to the example of the present embodiment. As another mounting position, for example, thethird sensor 118 and thedetection piece 133 may be mounted at a position which is the same rotational position as the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 on a drive side of theframe 12. Thethird sensor 118 and thedetection piece 133 may be mounted at such a position that a pulse is transmitted once from thethird sensor 118 each time the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 makes one rotation. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and10 , a third servomotor (not shown) for conveying thecontinuous label paper 30, the conveyingroller 41, thenip roller 42, and theguide rollers 43 to 45 are provided in the conveying path of thecontinuous label paper 30. Aline encoder 119 is provided accompanying the third servomotor. - The
line encoder 119 is a rotary encoder connected to the conveying path of the continuous label paper 30 (specifically, to the conveying roller 41). Theline encoder 119 transmits pulse signals corresponding to the conveyance amount of thecontinuous label paper 30. That is, theline encoder 119 detects the conveyance amount of thecontinuous label paper 30. Hereinafter, the pulse signal corresponding to the conveyance amount is referred to as "conveyance pulse." - Here, by detecting the conveyance pulse of the
line encoder 119 in response to the winding pulse when the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 rotates once, the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 can be calculated from the conveyance amount of thecontinuous label paper 30. - The positions of the conveying
roller 41, thenip roller 42, theguide rollers 43 to 45, and theline encoder 119 are not limited to the positions shown in the drawing. - The roll diameter D of the
scrap matrix roll 37 is obtained by thecalculation unit 22 on the basis of the amount of the winding pulse and the conveyance pulse. That is, thecalculation unit 22 can obtain the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 from the conveyance pulse amount of theline encoder 119 with respect to the winding pulse transmitted from thethird sensor 118 each time the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 makes one rotation. - Next, a method of obtaining the roll diameter D of the
scrap matrix roll 37 by thecalculation unit 22 will be described with reference toFIG. 10 . - As shown in
FIG. 10 , when it is assumed that the roll diameter of thescrap matrix roll 37 is D, and the conveyance amount of the continuous label paper 30 (that is, the circumference of the scrap matrix 36) when the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 makes one rotation is L, the following equation (1) is obtained. - On the other hand, the first conveying
roller 41 having a roll diameter d and theline encoder 119 are provided in the conveying path of thecontinuous label paper 30. - The number of conveyance pulses transmitted by the
line encoder 119 for each rotation of the first conveyingroller 41 is assumed to be n. When thecontinuous label paper 30 is conveyed by a distance πd, n pulses of the conveyance pulse are transmitted from theline encoder 119. Therefore, the conveyance amount of thecontinuous label paper 30 per one conveyance pulse transmitted by theline encoder 119 is πd/n. -
-
- The roll diameter d, and the number of conveyance pulses n of the
line encoder 119 are known values. Thereby, it is possible to obtain the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 from the number N of the conveyance pulses transmitted by theline encoder 119. - Next, an example of raising the scrap
matrix winding shaft 51 by thecontrol unit 24 will be described with reference toFIGS. 3 ,11, and 12 . - As shown in
FIG. 3 , the separatedscrap matrix 36 has hollow holes in which thelabels 34 are pulled out. Therefore, it is likely to be broken when the tension applied to thescrap matrix 36 varies at the time of winding the scrap matrix on the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. Here, thelabel 34 is not limited to a single rectangle shape. Particularly in the case where a predetermined shape of thelabel 34 is a circular or irregular shape other than a rectangle, when the tension of thescrap matrix 36 varies, thescrap matrix 36 is easily broken. InFIG. 3 , in order to facilitate understanding of the configuration, thelabel 34 is described as a square for convenience. - For example, when a scrap matrix path is long, the
scrap matrix 36 of thelabel 34 tends to be broken at portions in which the amount of shrinkage in the width direction of thescrap matrix 36 is large and thus the load concentrates, or in which the roll diameter of thescrap matrix roll 37 is large and thus high tension is applied to thescrap matrix 36. - Here, the scrap matrix path is a section of the
scrap matrix 36 from being peeled off from thebacking paper 31 until reaching the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. - On the other hand, it is conceivable that the outer
circumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 is maintained pressed against the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47. In this state, it is conceivable that, due to irregular winding such as an irregular shape of the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37, a difference in roll diameter D may occur depending on locations of thescrap matrix roll 37. Further, it is conceivable that thescrap matrix roll 37 may be eccentrically wound around thepaper tube 64, or vibration may be generated. As a result, there is a possibility that the tension applied to thescrap matrix 36 may vary and thescrap matrix 36 may be broken. - Accordingly, it is preferable that the scrap
matrix winding shaft 51 be positioned at a position at which the scrap matrix path is constantly short and no winding irregularities occur. Therefore, in the scrapmatrix winding device 10 of the present embodiment, the position of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is determined to be a position at which the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 come just close enough to each other not to come in contact. Alternatively, the position of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is determined at a position having a positional relationship such as a so-called "kiss touch position" in which the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 slightly come into contact with each other. - Here, since the tension is applied to the
scrap matrix 36, thescrap matrix 36 shrinks in the width direction. - For example, when the
scrap matrix 36 is cut out in a lattice pattern, thescrap matrix 36 has a conveying direction band-shapedportion 361 and a width direction band-shapedportion 362. The conveying direction band-shapedportion 361 of thescrap matrix 36 is stretched in the conveying direction due to the tension and is wound around the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 in a state of being shrunk in the width direction. In this case, the width direction band-shapedportion 362 of the lattice patternedscrap matrix 36 is wound around the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 without being subjected to tension in a state of being loosened and floated with respect to the conveying direction band-shapedportion 361. - Therefore, the roll diameter D (see
FIG. 2 ) of the width direction band-shapedportion 362 of thescrap matrix roll 37 is greater than the roll diameter D of the conveying direction band-shapedportion 361. Therefore, in order to make the roll diameter D of the width direction band-shapedportion 362 of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the roll diameter D of the conveying direction band-shapedportion 361 of thescrap matrix roll 37 become the same diameter, the touch roller 103 (seeFIG. 2 ) is provided. - Thereby, it is possible to determine the position of the scrap
matrix winding shaft 51 at a position at which the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 comes close to the fixedtype peeling roller 47 to such an extent that the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 does not come in contact with the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47. Alternatively, the position of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 can be determined at a position having a positional relationship such as a so-called "kiss touch position" in which the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 slightly come into contact with each other. - As shown in
FIG. 11 , the distance r between the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 is usually set to be in a range of 0.0 to 5.0 mm. However, depending on a shape of thescrap matrix roll 37, it is also possible to change the setting of the distance r so that the distance r is 5.0 mm or more. An initial position of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is a position shown in the state (A) ofFIG. 11 . The initial position of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 refers to a position of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 in a state in which thescrap matrix 36 of thelabel 34 is not wound on thepaper tube 64 fixed to the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. - Returning to
FIG. 3 , the distance r (seeFIG. 11 ) is set to such a distance that an outercircumferential surface 64a of thepaper tube 64 fixed to the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 comes close to the fixedtype peeling roller 47 to such an extent that the outercircumferential surface 64a of thepaper tube 64 does not come in contact with the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47. Therefore, as soon as thescrap matrix 36 is peeled off from thebacking paper 31 by the fixedtype peeling roller 47, thescrap matrix 36 is wound around thepaper tube 64 fixed to the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. Thewound scrap matrix 36 is integrated with the scrap matrix winding shaft 51 (that is, the paper tube 64) by an adhesive surface of thescrap matrix 36. - As a result, the distance of the scrap matrix path of the
scrap matrix 36 conveyed as a single body is suppressed to be short, and thescrap matrix 36 is wound without being broken. - Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to
FIG. 11 about a method of winding the scrap matrix of the continuous label paper for suppressing the scrap matrix path of thescrap matrix 36 conveyed as a single body to be short. - First, as shown in
FIG. 2 and the state (A) ofFIG. 11 , an axial position P of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is set such that the distance r between the outercircumferential surface 64a of thepaper tube 64 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 is a distance in which the outercircumferential surface 64a comes just close enough to the outercircumferential surface 47a not to come in contact with the outercircumferential surface 47a (Specifically, the distance r is usually set in a range of 0.0 to 5.0 mm). The axial position P represents a distance between the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 and acenter 51a of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. - As shown in
FIG. 2 and the state (B) ofFIG. 11 , when the conveyance of thecontinuous label paper 30 is started, the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 rotates in a scrap matrix winding process. When the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 rotates, thescrap matrix 36 peeled off from the backing paper 31 (seeFIG. 3 ) is wound around thepaper tube 64 of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. - In a roll diameter calculation process, the roll diameter D of the
scrap matrix roll 37 is obtained on the basis of winding pulse signals from the third sensor 118 (seeFIG. 1 ) or conveyance pulse signals from theline encoder 119. Thethird sensor 118 detects one rotation of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. Theline encoder 119 detects the conveyance amount of thecontinuous label paper 30. - Next, the calculated roll diameter D is stored in the
calculation unit 22 of thecontroller 21. A roll diameter obtained by adding an arbitrarily set increment of the radial dimension to the roll diameter D stored in thecalculation unit 22 is preset as an "rising start roll diameter D1" of thescrap matrix roll 37. - As shown in
FIG. 2 and the state (C) ofFIG. 11 , during the conveyance of thecontinuous label paper 30, the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 is calculated from the conveyance pulse amount of theline encoder 119 which is cut out each time the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 makes one rotation. - In a scrap matrix winding shaft moving process, the obtained roll diameter D of the
scrap matrix roll 37 is compared with the "rising start roll diameter D1." When the compared roll diameter D is greater than the "rising start roll diameter D1," the second servomotor 82 (seeFIG. 1 ) of thevertical movement mechanism 16 is driven on the basis of signals from thecontrol unit 24. - As the
sixth timing pulley 95 is rotated by thesecond servomotor 82, the rotation of the sixth timing pulley is transmitted to thefifth timing pulley 93 of therotating shaft 89 via thethird timing belt 96. As thefifth timing pulley 93 rotates, the pair of drive gears 79 rotate via the rotatingshaft 89. - As the pair of drive gears 79 rotate, the pair of driven
gears 78 rotate. - As the pair of driven
gears 78 rotate, the pair of ball screws 77 rotate. As the pair of ball screws 77 rotate, the connecting bracket 92 (that is, the moving body 76) moves in the vertical direction. - The winding
mechanism 14 is attached to the first table 85 and the second table 86 of the movingbody 76. When the movingbody 76 moves in the vertical direction, the axial position P of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is raised by a rising set value of the scrap matrix winding shaft which is set arbitrarily. That is, the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is moved in a direction away from the fixedtype peeling roller 47. - Thereby, as shown in the state (C) of
FIG. 11 , the distance r between the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 is set to such a distance that thescrap matrix roll 37 comes close to the fixedtype peeling roller 47 to such an extent that the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 does not come in contact with the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47. - After completion of the raising operation of the scrap
matrix winding shaft 51, the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 is calculated again by the same method. By updating the roll diameter D on thecalculation unit 22, a new "rising start roll diameter D1" of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is determined. Thereafter, similarly, the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is raised on the basis of signals from thecontrol unit 24. - That is, on the basis of the roll diameter D obtained by the
calculation unit 22, thecontrol unit 24 controls thevertical movement mechanism 16 to move the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 in a direction away from the fixedtype peeling roller 47 or in a direction approaching the fixedtype peeling roller 47. - Next, an example of moving the scrap
matrix winding shaft 51 in a direction away from the fixedtype peeling roller 47 by thecontrol unit 24 will be described in detail with reference toFIGS. 11 and 12 . - The state (A), the state (B), and the state (C) in
FIG. 11 are front views showing a positional relationship of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51, thescrap matrix roll 37, and the fixedtype peeling roller 47 at time points A, B, and C inFIG. 12. FIG. 12 is a graph showing an example of rising timing of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 when a winding operation of the scrap matrix is executed. - In
FIG. 11 , the distance r indicates the distance between the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 or a distance between the outercircumferential surface 64a of thepaper tube 64 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47. Further, as described above, the axial position P indicates a distance between the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 and thecenter 51a of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. - As shown in the state (A) of
FIG. 11 and inFIG. 12 , when the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is at the time point of a rotation speed A (A=0), a tube diameter of thepaper tube 64 is formed to be smaller than the rising start roll diameter D1. For example, thepaper tube 64 is set to have a tube diameter of 100 mm. Therefore, the distance r is maintained between the outercircumferential surface 64a of thepaper tube 64 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47. Thereby, in a state in which the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 does not rise, thescrap matrix 36 is wound around thepaper tube 64 of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. - As shown in the state (B) of
FIG. 11 and inFIG. 12 , as thescrap matrix 36 is wound around thepaper tube 64 of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51, the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 increases. At the same time, the distance r between the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 decreases. - In a state in which the scrap
matrix winding shaft 51 has reached a rotation speed B, the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 exceeds "rising start roll diameter D1." - The scrap
matrix winding shaft 51 starts to rise. During the rise of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51, thescrap matrix 36 is continuously wound on the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. As thescrap matrix 36 is continuously wound around thepaper tube 64 of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51, the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37 increases. In this state, the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is raised. Therefore, the distance r between the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 increases toward the rising set value of the scrap matrix winding shaft which is set in advance. - As shown in the state (C) of
FIG. 11 and inFIG. 12 , when the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is at the time point of a rotation speed C, the rising value of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 reaches the rising set value of the scrap matrix winding shaft (for example, 5.0 mm) which is set in advance. Therefore, the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 stops rising. A roll diameter obtained by adding the arbitrarily set increment of the radial dimension (for example, 3.0 mm) to the roll diameter D at the time when the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 stops rising is defined as a new rising start roll diameter D1. Then, until the roll diameter D reaches the rising start roll diameter D1, thescrap matrix 36 is wound without raising the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51. - As described above, by sequentially repeating the operations of the states (A) to (C), the distance r between the outer
circumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 is usually set in a range of 0.0 ≤ r ≤ 5.0 mm. - Therefore, it is possible to maintain the outer
circumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 at a position at which the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 comes close to the fixedtype peeling roller 47 to such an extent that the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 does not come in contact with the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 or at a position where the outercircumferential surface 36a is slightly in contact with the outercircumferential surface 47a. Thereby, it is possible to maintain stable winding of thescrap matrix 36 without breaking of thescrap matrix 36. - As described above, it is possible to move the scrap
matrix winding shaft 51 in a direction away from the fixedtype peeling roller 47 or in a direction approaching the fixedtype peeling roller 47 on the basis of the roll diameter D of thescrap matrix roll 37. Therefore, the distance r between the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 can be suppressed to be small (including the distance r of zero). In other words, it is possible to suppress the scrap matrix path from the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 to the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 to be small. - Thereby, even when the predetermined shape of the
label 34 is a circular or an irregular shape other than a rectangle, by stabilizing the tension generated in thescrap matrix 36 being winding, it is possible to prevent breaking of thescrap matrix 36 to the utmost. - In addition, by suppressing the scrap matrix path from the outer
circumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 to the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 to be small, compared to the conventional art, it is possible to suppress breaking of thescrap matrix 36 even when strong tension is applied to thescrap matrix 36. - Further, by suppressing the breaking of the
scrap matrix 36, a printing speed of thecontinuous label paper 30 can be increased. As a result, the productivity of thelabel 34 can be significantly improved. - Further, in the present embodiment, although the increment of the radial dimension is set to 3.0 mm and the rising set value of the scrap matrix winding shaft is set to 5.0 mm, the increment of the radial dimension and the rising set value of the scrap matrix winding shaft are not limited to 3.0 mm or 5.0 mm respectively. That is, the raising of the scrap
matrix winding shaft 51 may be controlled so that the distance r between the outercircumferential surface 64a of thepaper tube 64 fixed to the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 by thelug 62 or the outercircumferential surface 36a of thescrap matrix roll 37 and the outercircumferential surface 47a of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 is maintained within a certain range. - As another example, for example, a thickness dimension of the
continuous label paper 30 may be measured before the start of winding and the rising set value of the scrap matrix winding shaft may be changed according to the measured value. Further, the value may be changed depending on types of thecontinuous label paper 30 and the winding speed. - Also, in addition to the automatic operation during the operation as described in the present embodiment, for example, the
vertical movement mechanism 16 of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 may manually vertically move the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 when the winding operation is stopped. The manual operation of the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 is used, for example, when removing the scrap matrix roll from the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 when thescrap matrix roll 37 reaches the maximum roll diameter. - Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The shapes and combinations of the constituent members shown in the above-described embodiments are merely examples, and various modifications can be made on the basis of design requirements or the like without departing from the gist of the present invention.
- For example, in the above-described embodiment, the moving
body 76 is vertically moved by the pair of linear motion guides 75 and the pair of ball screws 77, but the moving method of the movingbody 76 is not limited to the above-described embodiment. As another example, for example, instead of the pair of ball screws 77, a trapezoidal screw or the like may be used. In addition, it is preferable to provide a pair of ball screws 77 or trapezoidal screws in terms of positional accuracy and durability, but a single one may be provided. - In the above-described embodiment, the
powder clutch 53 has been exemplified as a tension adjusting portion, and the example in which variation of the tension applied to thescrap matrix 36 of thescrap matrix roll 37 is maintained constant by thepowder clutch 53 has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As another tension adjusting portion, another clutch or the like having a function of sliding smoothly and changing the setting torque in stages may be employed. - Further, in the above-described embodiment, the rotary encoder has been taken as an example of the
line encoder 119 of the first detection unit detecting the conveyance amount of thecontinuous label paper 30, but the present invention is not limited thereto. - In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the
control unit 24 moves the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 on the basis of the roll diameter D obtained by thecalculation unit 22 has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As another example, the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 may be manually moved on the basis of the roll diameter D obtained by thecalculation unit 22, for example. - Further, in the above-described embodiment, the fixed
type peeling roller 47 has been exemplified as the peeling roller, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As another example, the peeling roller may be a movable peeling roller, for example. - Further, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the scrap
matrix winding shaft 51 is provided on the upper side in the vertical direction with respect to theroller center 47b of the fixedtype peeling roller 47 has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As another example, the scrapmatrix winding shaft 51 may be provided in another direction such as obliquely above the fixedtype peeling roller 47, lateral side of the fixedtype peeling roller 47, or the like. -
