Description

本発明は、印刷されたラベルを台紙から剥離する剥離機構を備えた印刷装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a printing apparatus including a peeling mechanism for peeling a printed label from a mount.

印刷されたラベルが台紙に貼付された状態で排出される動作モードと、印刷されたラベルが台紙から剥離された状態で排出される動作モードとを切り替えることが可能な印刷装置が知られている。特許文献１は、通常発行状態と剥離発行状態とに切り替え可能なラベルプリンタを開示する。ラベルプリンタは、転向ローラとトーションバネとを有する剥離ユニットを備える。剥離ユニットは、通常発行状態でプラテンローラから転向ローラが離隔し、剥離発行状態でプラテンローラに転向ローラが接触するように移動可能である。剥離発行状態において、転向ローラはトーションバネの付勢力によってプラテンローラに押し付けられる。プラテンローラ及び転向ローラは、間に台紙を挟んだ状態で回転し、台紙のうちラベルが貼付されていない面が対向するように台紙を屈曲させる。これによって剥離ユニットは、印刷されたラベルを台紙から剥離させる。なお、印刷されたラベルを台紙から適切に剥離させるためには、転向ローラとプラテンローラとを適切に接触させることが好ましい。   There is known a printing apparatus capable of switching between an operation mode in which a printed label is stuck on a mount and an operation mode in which a printed label is peeled off from the mount. . Patent Document 1 discloses a label printer that can be switched between a normal issue state and a peeling issue state. The label printer includes a peeling unit having a turning roller and a torsion spring. The peeling unit is movable so that the turning roller is separated from the platen roller in the normal issuing state, and the turning roller is in contact with the platen roller in the peeling issuing state. In the peeling issue state, the turning roller is pressed against the platen roller by the urging force of the torsion spring. The platen roller and the turning roller rotate with the mount sandwiched therebetween, and bend the mount so that the surfaces of the mount on which the label is not attached face each other. Thus, the peeling unit peels the printed label from the mount. In order to appropriately peel the printed label from the mount, it is preferable that the turning roller and the platen roller are appropriately brought into contact with each other.

特開２００６−１５０８５８号公報JP 2006-150858 A

上記ラベルプリンタでは、転向ローラは、トーションバネの付勢力によってプラテンローラに押し付けられる。このため、転向ローラとプラテンローラとの接触が不十分になる場合がある。一方、転向ローラとプラテンローラとを適切に接触させるためにトーションバネの付勢力を強くした場合、ユーザは、動作モードを切り替える操作を容易に行うことができなくなる場合がある。その理由は、ユーザが動作モードを剥離発行状態から通常発行状態に切り替える場合、トーションバネの付勢力に逆らって転向ローラをプラテンローラから離隔させるために強い力が必要となるためである。このように、上記ラベルプリンタでは、印刷されたラベルを台紙から適切に剥離させることと、動作モードの切り替えとを両立させることが難しい。   In the label printer, the turning roller is pressed against the platen roller by the urging force of the torsion spring. For this reason, the contact between the turning roller and the platen roller may be insufficient. On the other hand, when the urging force of the torsion spring is increased in order to properly contact the turning roller and the platen roller, the user may not be able to easily perform the operation of switching the operation mode. The reason is that when the user switches the operation mode from the peeling issue state to the normal issue state, a strong force is required to separate the turning roller from the platen roller against the urging force of the torsion spring. As described above, in the label printer, it is difficult to achieve both the proper separation of the printed label from the mount and the switching of the operation mode.

本発明の目的は、ラベルが台紙から剥離された状態で排出される動作モードに容易に切り替えることが可能であり、且つ、ラベルを台紙から適切に剥離させることが可能な印刷装置を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide a printing apparatus capable of easily switching to an operation mode in which a label is discharged in a state where the label is peeled off from the mount, and capable of appropriately peeling the label from the mount. It is.

本発明に係る印刷装置は、ラベルに印刷を行う印刷部と、前記ラベルが貼付された台紙が巻回されたロールを収容する収容部を有する本体と、前記本体に回転可能に支持され、前記収容部を開閉可能な蓋部材と、前記蓋部材に設けられた第１ローラと、第２ローラを少なくとも備え、前記台紙から前記ラベルを剥離させることが可能な機構であって、前記第１ローラと前記第２ローラとの位置関係がそれぞれ異なる第１状態、第２状態、及び、第３状態の何れかに切り替え可能な剥離機構と、前記蓋部材に設けられ、前記蓋部材が開放した状態から閉塞した状態に変化することに応じて前記剥離機構を前記第１状態から前記第２状態に切り替えることが可能な部材であって、前記蓋部材が開放した状態で前記剥離機構から離隔し、前記蓋部材が開放した状態から閉塞した状態に変化する閉塞過程で前記剥離機構に接触可能な移動部材と、前記本体に設けられた部材であって、前記剥離機構が前記第３状態から前記第２状態に切り替わることを規制する規制部材とを備え、前記第２状態における前記第１ローラと前記第２ローラとの間の距離は、前記第１状態における前記第１ローラと前記第２ローラとの間の距離よりも小さく、前記第３状態における前記第１ローラと前記第２ローラとの間の距離は、前記第２状態における前記第１ローラと前記第２ローラとの間の距離よりも小さいことを特徴とする。   The printing apparatus according to the present invention includes a printing unit that performs printing on a label, a main body that includes a roll around which a mount on which the label is attached is wound, a main body that is rotatably supported by the main body, A mechanism comprising at least a lid member capable of opening and closing the housing, a first roller provided on the lid member, and a second roller, and capable of separating the label from the mount, wherein the first roller And a peeling mechanism that can be switched to any one of a first state, a second state, and a third state in which the positional relationship between the second roller and the second roller is different, and a state in which the lid member is opened, provided on the lid member A member capable of switching the peeling mechanism from the first state to the second state in response to a change from a closed state to a closed state, and separated from the peeling mechanism in a state where the lid member is opened, The lid member A moving member that can contact the peeling mechanism in a closing process that changes from an open state to a closed state, and a member that is provided on the main body, and the peeling mechanism switches from the third state to the second state. And a distance between the first roller and the second roller in the second state is a distance between the first roller and the second roller in the first state. The distance between the first roller and the second roller in the third state is smaller than the distance between the first roller and the second roller in the second state. And

本発明によれば、印刷装置は、蓋部材が閉塞する動作に応じて、剥離機構が第１状態から第２状態に切り替わる。このためユーザは、蓋部材を閉塞させる操作を行うと同時に、剥離機構を第３状態に移動させることが容易な状態（第２状態）に剥離機構を切り替えることができる。従ってユーザは、蓋部材を閉塞させる操作を行うことによって、印刷されたラベルが台紙から剥離されないで排出される動作モードから、印刷されたラベルが台紙から剥離されて排出される動作モードに印刷装置を切り替えることが容易な状態とすることができる。又、印刷装置では、剥離機構が第３状態から第２状態に切り替わることを、規制部材によって規制できる。従って、印刷装置は、剥離機構によってラベルを台紙から適切に剥離させることができる。   According to the present invention, in the printing apparatus, the peeling mechanism is switched from the first state to the second state according to the operation of closing the lid member. For this reason, the user can switch the peeling mechanism to a state (second state) in which it is easy to move the peeling mechanism to the third state at the same time as performing the operation of closing the lid member. Therefore, when the user performs an operation to close the lid member, the printing apparatus changes from the operation mode in which the printed label is discharged without being peeled from the mount to the operation mode in which the printed label is peeled from the mount and discharged. Can be easily switched. Moreover, in a printing apparatus, it can control by a control member that a peeling mechanism switches from a 3rd state to a 2nd state. Therefore, the printing apparatus can appropriately peel the label from the mount by the peeling mechanism.

本発明において、前記剥離機構は、前記第２ローラの回転軸の延びる方向の両側から外側に突出する一対の突出部を有し、前記規制部材は、前記一対の突出部のそれぞれが係合する部位であって、前記剥離機構が前記第３状態から前記第２状態に切り替わることを、前記一対の突出部の移動を禁止することによって規制する一対の第１係合部を有してもよい。この場合、規制部材は、第２ローラの回転軸の延びる方向の両側で、剥離機構の移動を規制できる。従って、印刷装置は、規制部材を第３状態で適切に維持させることができるので、剥離機構によってラベルを台紙から適切に剥離させることができる。   In this invention, the said peeling mechanism has a pair of protrusion part which protrudes outside from the both sides of the direction where the rotating shaft of the said 2nd roller extends, and each of a pair of said protrusion part engages with the said regulating member A pair of first engaging portions that restrict the switching of the peeling mechanism from the third state to the second state by prohibiting the movement of the pair of protrusions. . In this case, the restricting member can restrict the movement of the peeling mechanism on both sides in the direction in which the rotation shaft of the second roller extends. Therefore, since the printing apparatus can appropriately maintain the regulating member in the third state, the label can be appropriately peeled from the mount by the peeling mechanism.

本発明において、前記規制部材は、前記蓋部材が前記収容部を閉塞した状態で、前記蓋部材の回転を更に規制してもよい。この場合、印刷装置は、収容部が蓋部材によって閉塞された状態を、適切に維持できる。   In the present invention, the regulating member may further regulate the rotation of the lid member in a state where the lid member closes the housing portion. In this case, the printing apparatus can appropriately maintain the state in which the housing portion is closed by the lid member.

本発明において、前記蓋部材は、前記第１ローラに対して、前記第１ローラの回転軸の延びる方向の両側に一対の第２係合部を有し、前記規制部材は、前記一対の第２係合部のそれぞれが係合する部位であって、前記蓋部材が前記収容部を閉塞した状態で前記蓋部材の回転を禁止する一対の第３係合部を有してもよい。この場合、規制部材は、第１ローラの回転軸の延びる方向の両側で、蓋部材の回転を規制できる。従って、印刷装置は、蓋部材によって収容部が閉塞された状態を適切に維持させることができる。   In this invention, the said cover member has a pair of 2nd engaging part on the both sides of the direction where the rotating shaft of a said 1st roller is extended with respect to a said 1st roller, The said control member is a pair of said 1st Each of the two engaging portions may be a portion to be engaged, and the lid member may include a pair of third engaging portions that prohibit rotation of the lid member in a state where the housing portion is closed. In this case, the restricting member can restrict the rotation of the lid member on both sides in the direction in which the rotation axis of the first roller extends. Therefore, the printing apparatus can appropriately maintain the state in which the housing portion is closed by the lid member.

本発明において、前記第１状態は、前記第１ローラと前記第２ローラとが離隔し、且つ、前記閉塞過程で前記剥離機構が前記移動部材に接触可能な状態であり、前記剥離機構は、前記第１ローラと前記第２ローラとが離隔し、且つ、前記閉塞過程で前記剥離機構が前記移動部材に接触不可能な第４状態に更に切り替え可能であり、前記剥離機構を前記第４状態に固定する固定部材を更に備えてもよい。この場合、ユーザは、固定部材によって剥離機構を第４状態で維持させることによって、台紙が剥離されない状態でラベルが排出される動作モードで印刷装置を安定的に動作させることができる。   In the present invention, the first state is a state in which the first roller and the second roller are separated from each other, and the peeling mechanism can contact the moving member in the closing process. The first roller and the second roller are separated from each other, and the peeling mechanism can be further switched to a fourth state in which the moving member cannot contact with the closing process, and the peeling mechanism is in the fourth state. You may further provide the fixing member fixed to. In this case, the user can stably operate the printing apparatus in the operation mode in which the label is discharged in a state where the mount is not peeled by maintaining the peeling mechanism in the fourth state by the fixing member.

本発明において、前記剥離機構は、軸部を有する枠部と、前記枠部に対して移動可能に設けられ、前記第２ローラを支持する部材であって、前記軸部と前記第２ローラとの間の距離を、第１距離と、前記第１距離よりも小さい第２距離とに切り替え可能な支持部とを備え、前記軸部と前記第２ローラとの間の距離は、前記第１状態、前記第２状態、及び、前記第３状態の夫々の場合に前記第１距離であり、前記第４状態の場合に前記第２距離であり、記剥離機構は、前記軸部を支点として揺動することによって前記第１状態から前記第２状態に切り替わることを特徴としてもよい。この場合、ユーザは、剥離機構を、第１状態〜第３状態の何れかと、第４状態とに切り替えることによって、第１ローラと第２ローラとの距離を切り替えることができる。   In the present invention, the peeling mechanism is a frame portion having a shaft portion, a member provided to be movable with respect to the frame portion, and supporting the second roller, wherein the shaft portion and the second roller A support portion capable of switching a distance between the first distance and a second distance smaller than the first distance, wherein the distance between the shaft portion and the second roller is the first distance The first distance in each of the state, the second state, and the third state, and the second distance in the fourth state. The peeling mechanism uses the shaft portion as a fulcrum. The first state may be switched to the second state by swinging. In this case, the user can switch the distance between the first roller and the second roller by switching the peeling mechanism between the first state to the third state and the fourth state.

As shown in FIG. 10, the peeling mechanism 5 holds the first member 521 of the frame portion 52 in a horizontal state. Hereinafter, the state of FIG. 10 in which the peeling mechanism 5 in the accommodated state has moved to the front side is referred to as a “fourth state”.

一方、一対の固定部材７３が下側に移動する向きに弾性変形することによって、剥離機構５は、前側に移動可能となる。一対の軸支持部７１のそれぞれの溝７１１に沿って剥離機構５が後方に移動した場合、本体部２の傾斜部２Ａ（図１参照）の後端と、剥離機構５の前端との間に空間が形成された状態となる。この場合、剥離機構５の後端は揺動可能な状態になる。例えば、ユーザは、図１１に示すように、剥離機構５の前端を中心として、後端を上方に揺動させることができる。更に、ユーザは、剥離機構５の後端を上方に揺動させた状態で、剥離機構５を収容状態から突出状態に切り替えることができる。   On the other hand, when the pair of fixing members 73 are elastically deformed in the direction of moving downward, the peeling mechanism 5 can be moved to the front side. When the peeling mechanism 5 moves rearward along the respective grooves 711 of the pair of shaft support portions 71, between the rear end of the inclined portion 2 </ b> A (see FIG. 1) of the main body portion 2 and the front end of the peeling mechanism 5. A space is formed. In this case, the rear end of the peeling mechanism 5 is in a swingable state. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the user can swing the rear end upward with the front end of the peeling mechanism 5 as the center. Further, the user can switch the peeling mechanism 5 from the housed state to the protruding state with the rear end of the peeling mechanism 5 being swung upward.

＜通常モードで印刷装置１を動作させる場合の手順＞
図１２、図１３を参照し、印刷装置１を通常モードで動作させる場合の手順について説明する。ユーザは、レバー２３を下方に押し下げ、蓋部材３を開放させる。ユーザは、用紙ホルダ９（図２参照）にロールを装着する。ユーザは、剥離機構５の支持部５４を枠部５２側に押し込み、剥離機構５を収容状態とする。次いでユーザは、剥離機構５の後端を下方に揺動させ、枠部５２の第１部材５２１を水平にした状態で、剥離機構５を前側に移動させる。剥離機構５の前端は、本体部２の傾斜部２Ａの後端に接触する。剥離機構５は、一対の固定部材７３（図９参照）が一対の固定部５７（図５、図７参照）に後方から接触することによって、第４状態で保持される。 <Procedure for Operating the Printing Apparatus 1 in the Normal Mode>
A procedure for operating the printing apparatus 1 in the normal mode will be described with reference to FIGS. The user pushes down the lever 23 to open the lid member 3. The user attaches a roll to the paper holder 9 (see FIG. 2). The user pushes the support portion 54 of the peeling mechanism 5 toward the frame portion 52 to bring the peeling mechanism 5 into the accommodated state. Next, the user swings the rear end of the peeling mechanism 5 downward, and moves the peeling mechanism 5 forward while the first member 521 of the frame portion 52 is horizontal. The front end of the peeling mechanism 5 is in contact with the rear end of the inclined portion 2 </ b> A of the main body 2. The peeling mechanism 5 is held in the fourth state by the pair of fixing members 73 (see FIG. 9) coming into contact with the pair of fixing portions 57 (see FIGS. 5 and 7) from the rear.

ユーザは、ロールから延びるテープのうち先端部分の台紙を、切断部２６Ａ及び印刷部２６Ｂ（図２参照）の後方に配置させた状態で、蓋部材３を閉塞させる。図１２に示すように、蓋部材３の閉塞過程で、剥離機構５の支持部５４の一対の突出部５３（図４参照）は、蓋部材３の一対の移動部材３４１のそれぞれの板状部３４Ａに接触しない。蓋部材３の閉塞過程で、一対の係合部材３２１（図２参照）は、一対の規制部材２５（図３参照）のそれぞれの板状部材２５１の係合延設部２５１Ｂの上端に、上側から接触する。一対の規制部材２５は、図示しないバネの付勢力に逆らって、基部２５１Ａの上端部が後方に移動する向きに揺動する。一対の係合部材３２１が、係合凹部２５１Ｄ内まで移動した場合、一対の規制部材２５は、図示しないバネの付勢力によって、基部２５１Ａの上端部が前方に移動する向きに揺動する。一対の規制部材２５のそれぞれの係合延設部２５１Ｂは、一対の係合部材３２１の上側に配置される。これによって、一対の係合部材３２１は、一対の規制部材２５の係合延設部２５１Ｂ及び係合凹部２５１Ｄに係合する。一対の規制部材２５は、バネ２９Ａ（図２参照）の付勢力によって蓋部材３が開放した状態に戻ろうとすることを規制するので、図１３に示すように、蓋部材３は閉塞した状態で保持される。   The user closes the lid member 3 in a state where the mount at the leading end portion of the tape extending from the roll is disposed behind the cutting portion 26A and the printing portion 26B (see FIG. 2). As shown in FIG. 12, in the closing process of the lid member 3, the pair of protrusions 53 (see FIG. 4) of the support portion 54 of the peeling mechanism 5 are respectively plate-like portions of the pair of moving members 341 of the lid member 3. Do not touch 34A. In the closing process of the lid member 3, the pair of engaging members 321 (see FIG. 2) are placed on the upper ends of the engagement extending portions 251 </ b> B of the plate-like members 251 of the pair of regulating members 25 (see FIG. 3). Contact from. The pair of restricting members 25 swings in the direction in which the upper end portion of the base portion 251A moves backward against the biasing force of a spring (not shown). When the pair of engaging members 321 moves into the engaging recess 251D, the pair of regulating members 25 swings in the direction in which the upper end portion of the base portion 251A moves forward by the biasing force of a spring (not shown). The engagement extending portions 251 </ b> B of the pair of regulating members 25 are disposed on the upper side of the pair of engaging members 321. As a result, the pair of engaging members 321 engage with the engagement extending portions 251 </ b> B and the engaging recesses 251 </ b> D of the pair of regulating members 25. Since the pair of restricting members 25 restricts the cover member 3 from returning to the open state by the biasing force of the spring 29A (see FIG. 2), the cover member 3 is closed as shown in FIG. Retained.

以下、剥離機構５を第４状態として蓋部材３を閉塞させた場合における、軸部５２３と第１ローラ３２との間の距離を、第３距離Ｌ３という。詳細には、第３距離Ｌ３は、軸部５２３の軸線を通る仮想線と、第１ローラ３２の軸線を通る仮想線との間の距離を示す。第３距離Ｌ３は、収容状態における軸部５２３と第２ローラ５１との間の距離（第２距離Ｌ２）よりも大きい。このため、第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１とは、前後方向に離隔する。   Hereinafter, the distance between the shaft portion 523 and the first roller 32 when the lid member 3 is closed with the peeling mechanism 5 in the fourth state is referred to as a third distance L3. Specifically, the third distance L <b> 3 indicates a distance between an imaginary line passing through the axis of the shaft portion 523 and an imaginary line passing through the axis of the first roller 32. The third distance L3 is greater than the distance (second distance L2) between the shaft portion 523 and the second roller 51 in the accommodated state. For this reason, the 1st roller 32 and the 2nd roller 51 are spaced apart in the front-back direction.

ユーザはスイッチ２２を押下する。印刷部２６Ｂによる印刷が開始される。駆動部がギア７６、３６（図９参照）を回転させることに応じて、第１ローラ３２は回転する。ロールからテープが順次繰り出され、下方から上方に向けて搬送される。同時に、印刷部２６Ｂの発熱素子が発熱する。これによって、感熱ラベルに文字や図形が印刷される。第１ローラ３２は、印刷された感熱ラベルを含むテープを排出口２６Ｃから排出する。なお、上記のように、第２ローラ５１は第１ローラ３２から離隔するので、排出されたテープに第２ローラ５１は接触しない。このため、テープは延伸した状態で上方に排出される。従って、印刷された感熱ラベルは台紙に貼付された状態で排出される。排出されたテープは、切断部２６Ａによって切断される。   The user presses the switch 22. Printing by the printing unit 26B is started. The first roller 32 rotates in response to the drive unit rotating the gears 76 and 36 (see FIG. 9). The tape is sequentially fed from the roll and conveyed from the lower side to the upper side. At the same time, the heating element of the printing unit 26B generates heat. As a result, characters and figures are printed on the thermal label. The first roller 32 discharges the tape including the printed thermal label from the discharge port 26C. Since the second roller 51 is separated from the first roller 32 as described above, the second roller 51 does not contact the discharged tape. For this reason, the tape is discharged upward in a stretched state. Therefore, the printed thermal label is discharged in a state where it is stuck on the mount. The discharged tape is cut by the cutting unit 26A.

＜剥離モードで印刷装置１を動作させる場合の手順＞
図１４〜図１７を参照し、印刷装置１を剥離モードで動作させる場合の手順について説明する。用紙ホルダ９にロールが装着されるまでの手順は、通常モードの場合と同一であるので、説明を省略する。 <Procedure for operating the printing apparatus 1 in the peeling mode>
With reference to FIGS. 14-17, the procedure in the case of operating the printing apparatus 1 in peeling mode is demonstrated. Since the procedure until the roll is mounted on the paper holder 9 is the same as that in the normal mode, the description thereof is omitted.

ユーザは、蓋部材３が開放した状態で、剥離機構５を、第４状態から後方に移動させる。一対の固定部材７３（図９参照）は弾性変形し、一対の固定部５７（図５、図７参照）の前側に移動する。本体部２の傾斜部２Ａ（図１参照）の後端と、剥離機構５の前端との間に空間が形成される。剥離機構５の後端は揺動可能な状態になる。ユーザは、剥離機構５を、軸部５２３を中心として回転させ、剥離機構５の後端を上方に揺動させる。更に、ユーザは、剥離機構５の支持部５４を枠部５２から引き出す。剥離機構５は、収容状態から突出状態に切り替わる（図１１参照）。以下、蓋部材３が開放した状態、且つ、突出状態の剥離機構５が後端を上方に揺動させた状態（図２、図１１参照）を、「第１状態」という。図２に示すように、第１状態において、蓋部材３の第１ローラ３２と、剥離機構５の第２ローラ５１とは離隔する。   The user moves the peeling mechanism 5 backward from the fourth state with the lid member 3 opened. The pair of fixing members 73 (see FIG. 9) is elastically deformed and moves to the front side of the pair of fixing portions 57 (see FIGS. 5 and 7). A space is formed between the rear end of the inclined portion 2 </ b> A (see FIG. 1) of the main body 2 and the front end of the peeling mechanism 5. The rear end of the peeling mechanism 5 is in a swingable state. The user rotates the peeling mechanism 5 around the shaft portion 523 and swings the rear end of the peeling mechanism 5 upward. Further, the user pulls out the support portion 54 of the peeling mechanism 5 from the frame portion 52. The peeling mechanism 5 switches from the housed state to the protruding state (see FIG. 11). Hereinafter, a state in which the lid member 3 is opened and a state in which the protruding peeling mechanism 5 swings the rear end upward (see FIGS. 2 and 11) is referred to as a “first state”. As shown in FIG. 2, in the first state, the first roller 32 of the lid member 3 and the second roller 51 of the peeling mechanism 5 are separated from each other.

ユーザは、切断部２６Ａ及び印刷部２６Ｂ（図２参照）の後方、且つ、剥離機構５の支持部５４に支持された第２ローラ５１の下側に、ロールから延びるテープのうち先端部分の台紙を配置させる。ユーザは、この状態で蓋部材３を閉塞させる操作を行う。図１４、図１５に示すように、蓋部材３が閉塞する閉塞過程で、蓋部材３の移動部材３４１の板状部３４１Ａの下側に、剥離機構５の突出部５３Ａ（図４〜図７参照）が接触し、移動部材３４２の板状部３４２Ａの下側に、剥離機構５の突出部５３Ｂ（図４〜図７参照）が接触する。蓋部材３が徐々に閉塞するに従って、一対の突出部５３は、一対の移動部材３４のそれぞれの板状部３４Ａの下側に沿って、後方斜め下側に移動する。剥離機構５は、軸部５２３を中心として後端を下方に揺動させる。剥離機構５の第２ローラ５１は下方に移動し、蓋部材３の第１ローラ３２に上側から徐々に近接する。   The user mounts the tip portion of the tape extending from the roll behind the cutting portion 26A and the printing portion 26B (see FIG. 2) and below the second roller 51 supported by the support portion 54 of the peeling mechanism 5. Arrange. The user performs an operation of closing the lid member 3 in this state. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the protrusion 53 </ b> A (see FIGS. 4 to 7) of the peeling mechanism 5 is provided below the plate-like portion 341 </ b> A of the moving member 341 of the lid member 3 in the closing process of closing the lid member 3. The protrusion 53B (see FIGS. 4 to 7) of the peeling mechanism 5 is in contact with the lower side of the plate-like portion 342A of the moving member 342. As the lid member 3 is gradually closed, the pair of projecting portions 53 moves rearward and obliquely downward along the lower side of each plate-like portion 34A of the pair of moving members 34. The peeling mechanism 5 swings the rear end downward about the shaft portion 523. The second roller 51 of the peeling mechanism 5 moves downward and gradually approaches the first roller 32 of the lid member 3 from above.

図１６に示すように、蓋部材３が閉塞した場合、一対の規制部材２５に一対の係合部材３２１が係合し、蓋部材３は閉塞した状態で保持される。剥離機構５は、枠部５２の第１部材５２１が水平方向に対して僅かに傾斜した状態で保持される。剥離機構５の第２ローラ５１は、蓋部材３の第１ローラ３２の後方斜め上側に配置する。第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１とは近接する。但し、この状態で、第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１との間には僅かな隙間が形成される。以下、蓋部材３が、開放した状態から閉塞過程を経て閉塞することに応じて、突出状態の剥離機構５が第１状態から揺動し、第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１とが近接する状態となった場合の図１６の状態を、「第２状態」という。第２状態における第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１との間の距離は、第１状態における第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１との間の距離（図１１参照）よりも小さくなる。   As shown in FIG. 16, when the lid member 3 is closed, the pair of engaging members 321 are engaged with the pair of regulating members 25, and the lid member 3 is held in the closed state. The peeling mechanism 5 is held in a state where the first member 521 of the frame portion 52 is slightly inclined with respect to the horizontal direction. The second roller 51 of the peeling mechanism 5 is disposed obliquely above and behind the first roller 32 of the lid member 3. The first roller 32 and the second roller 51 are close to each other. However, in this state, a slight gap is formed between the first roller 32 and the second roller 51. Hereinafter, in response to the cover member 3 being closed from the opened state through the closing process, the protruding peeling mechanism 5 is swung from the first state, and the first roller 32 and the second roller 51 come close to each other. The state of FIG. 16 when the state is reached is referred to as a “second state”. The distance between the first roller 32 and the second roller 51 in the second state is smaller than the distance between the first roller 32 and the second roller 51 in the first state (see FIG. 11).

次に、ユーザは、第２状態の剥離機構５の支持部５４を下側に押し下げる。図１７に示すように、剥離機構５は、第２状態（図１６参照）に対して更に揺動する。剥離機構５の一対の突出部５３（図４〜図７参照）は、一対の規制部材２５（図８〜図１１参照）のそれぞれの係合凹部２５１Ｃ、２５２Ｂ（図８〜図１１参照）の後側まで移動する。次に、ユーザは、剥離機構５を前側に移動させる。剥離機構５の一対の突出部５３は、一対の規制部材２５のそれぞれの係合凹部２５１Ｃ、２５２Ｂの内側に後側から進入する。このとき、蓋部材３の第１ローラ３２の上方斜め後側に、剥離機構５の第２ローラ５１が、台紙を挟んで対向する。第１ローラ３２及び第２ローラ５１は、台紙を挟持する。一対の規制部材２５の係合突出部２５２Ｃは、剥離機構５の一対の突出部５３が係合凹部２５１Ｃ、２５２Ｂ内に進入した状態で、一対の突出部５３の後側への移動を規制する。一対の突出部５３は、係合凹部２５１Ｃ、２５２Ｂに係合し、第１ローラ３２及び第２ローラ５１が台紙を挟持した状態は保持される。以下、突出状態の剥離機構５の一対の突出部５３が、一対の規制部材２５のそれぞれの係合凹部２５１Ｃ、２５２Ｂに係合した図１７の状態を、「第３状態」という。第３状態における第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１との間の距離は、第２状態における第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１との間の距離（図１６参照）よりも小さくなる。   Next, the user pushes down the support portion 54 of the peeling mechanism 5 in the second state. As shown in FIG. 17, the peeling mechanism 5 further swings with respect to the second state (see FIG. 16). The pair of protrusions 53 (see FIGS. 4 to 7) of the peeling mechanism 5 are formed in the engagement recesses 251 </ b> C and 252 </ b> B (see FIGS. 8 to 11) of the pair of regulating members 25 (see FIGS. 8 to 11). Move to the back side. Next, the user moves the peeling mechanism 5 to the front side. The pair of protrusions 53 of the peeling mechanism 5 enters the engagement recesses 251 </ b> C and 252 </ b> B of the pair of regulating members 25 from the rear side. At this time, the second roller 51 of the peeling mechanism 5 opposes the diagonally upper rear side of the first roller 32 of the lid member 3 with the mount interposed therebetween. The first roller 32 and the second roller 51 sandwich the mount. The engagement protrusions 252C of the pair of restricting members 25 restrict the rearward movement of the pair of protrusions 53 in a state where the pair of protrusions 53 of the peeling mechanism 5 has entered the engagement recesses 251C and 252B. . The pair of protrusions 53 are engaged with the engagement recesses 251C and 252B, and the state where the first roller 32 and the second roller 51 sandwich the mount is maintained. Hereinafter, the state of FIG. 17 in which the pair of projecting portions 53 of the peeling mechanism 5 in the projecting state is engaged with the engagement recesses 251C and 252B of the pair of regulating members 25 is referred to as a “third state”. The distance between the first roller 32 and the second roller 51 in the third state is smaller than the distance between the first roller 32 and the second roller 51 in the second state (see FIG. 16).

以下、第３状態における、軸部５２３と第１ローラ３２との間の距離を、第４距離Ｌ４という。詳細には、第４距離Ｌ４は、軸部５２３の軸線を通る仮想線と、第１ローラ３２の軸線を通る仮想線との間の距離を示す。第４距離Ｌ４は、剥離機構５を第４状態として蓋部材３を閉塞させた場合における軸部５２３と第１ローラ３２との間の第３距離Ｌ３（図１３参照）と比べて、剥離機構５が第４状態から後方に移動した分短くなる。第４距離Ｌ４は、突出状態における軸部５２３と第２ローラ５１との間の距離（第１距離Ｌ１）と略同一となる。このため、第３状態において、第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１とは、台紙を挟持可能となる。   Hereinafter, the distance between the shaft portion 523 and the first roller 32 in the third state is referred to as a fourth distance L4. Specifically, the fourth distance L4 indicates a distance between a virtual line passing through the axis of the shaft portion 523 and a virtual line passing through the axis of the first roller 32. The fourth distance L4 is greater than the third distance L3 (see FIG. 13) between the shaft portion 523 and the first roller 32 when the lid member 3 is closed with the peeling mechanism 5 in the fourth state. 5 is shortened by moving backward from the fourth state. The fourth distance L4 is substantially the same as the distance (first distance L1) between the shaft portion 523 and the second roller 51 in the protruding state. For this reason, in the third state, the first roller 32 and the second roller 51 can sandwich the mount.

ユーザはスイッチ２２を押下する。印刷部２６Ｂによる印刷が開始される。駆動部がギア７６、３６（図８、図９参照）を回転させることに応じて、第１ローラ３２は回転し、印刷された感熱ラベルを含むテープを排出口２６Ｃから排出する。なお、第２ローラ５１は第１ローラ３２との間に台紙を挟み、台紙を後方に屈曲させて後方に排出させる。これによって、台紙に貼付された状態で印刷された感熱ラベルは、台紙から剥離され、排出口２６Ｃから上側に排出される。   The user presses the switch 22. Printing by the printing unit 26B is started. The first roller 32 rotates in response to the drive unit rotating the gears 76 and 36 (see FIGS. 8 and 9), and discharges the tape including the printed thermal label from the discharge port 26C. The second roller 51 sandwiches the mount between the first roller 32, bends the mount backward, and discharges the mount backward. As a result, the heat-sensitive label printed in a state of being attached to the mount is peeled off from the mount and discharged upward from the discharge port 26C.

＜本実施形態の主たる作用、効果＞
以上説明したように、印刷装置１は、蓋部材３が閉塞する閉塞過程で、剥離機構５を第１状態（図１４、図１５参照）から第２状態（図１６参照）に切り替えることができる。このためユーザは、蓋部材３の閉塞操作に応じて、剥離機構５を、第３状態（図１７参照）に容易に移動させることが可能な第２状態とすることができる。従ってユーザは、蓋部材３を閉塞させる操作を行うことによって、印刷装置１を剥離モードに容易に切り替えることが可能となる。又、印刷装置１では、剥離機構５が第３状態から第２状態に切り替わることを、一対の規制部材２５によって規制できる。従って、印刷装置１は、剥離モードで安定的に動作可能となる。 <Main functions and effects of this embodiment>
As described above, the printing apparatus 1 can switch the peeling mechanism 5 from the first state (see FIGS. 14 and 15) to the second state (see FIG. 16) in the closing process in which the lid member 3 is closed. . For this reason, the user can make the peeling mechanism 5 into the 2nd state which can be easily moved to a 3rd state (refer FIG. 17) according to obstruction | occlusion operation of the cover member 3. FIG. Therefore, the user can easily switch the printing apparatus 1 to the peeling mode by performing an operation of closing the lid member 3. Further, in the printing apparatus 1, the pair of regulating members 25 can regulate that the peeling mechanism 5 is switched from the third state to the second state. Accordingly, the printing apparatus 1 can stably operate in the peeling mode.

剥離機構５は、左右方向の両側から外側に突出する一対の突出部５３を有する。一対の規制部材２５は、それぞれ、一対の突出部５３のそれぞれが係合する係合凹部２５１Ｃ、２５２Ｂ、及び、係合突出部２５２Ｃを有する。係合突出部２５２Ｃは、剥離機構５が第３状態から第２状態に切り替わることを、一対の突出部５３の移動を禁止することによって規制する。この場合、一対の規制部材２５は、左右方向の両側で剥離機構５の移動を規制できる。従って、印刷装置１は、剥離機構５を第３状態で適切に維持させることができるので、剥離機構５によってラベルを台紙から適切に剥離させることができる。   The peeling mechanism 5 has a pair of protrusions 53 that protrude outward from both sides in the left-right direction. Each of the pair of regulating members 25 includes engagement recesses 251C and 252B and an engagement protrusion 252C with which each of the pair of protrusions 53 engages. The engagement protrusions 252 </ b> C restrict the separation mechanism 5 from switching from the third state to the second state by prohibiting the movement of the pair of protrusions 53. In this case, the pair of regulating members 25 can regulate the movement of the peeling mechanism 5 on both sides in the left-right direction. Therefore, since the printing apparatus 1 can appropriately maintain the peeling mechanism 5 in the third state, the label can be appropriately peeled from the mount by the peeling mechanism 5.

又、係合凹部２５２Ｃは樹脂製である。このため、一対の突出部５３のそれぞれが係合凹部２５２Ｃに係合することに応じて互いに接触したときに、一対の突出部５３が係合凹部２５２Ｃによって削れることを抑制できる。   The engaging recess 252C is made of resin. For this reason, when each of a pair of protrusion part 53 mutually contacts according to engaging with the engagement recessed part 252C, it can suppress that a pair of protrusion part 53 is shaved by the engagement recessed part 252C.

一対の規制部材２５のそれぞれは、係合延設部２５１Ｂ、及び、係合凹部２５１Ｄを有する。蓋部材３が閉塞した状態で、蓋部材３の一対の係合部材３２１は、係合凹部２５１Ｄ内、且つ、係合延設部２５１Ｂの下側に係合する。これによって、蓋部材３の回転は規制される。このように、印刷装置１は、収容部２４が蓋部材３によって閉塞された状態を、一対の規制部材２５によって適切に維持できる。又、一対の規制部材２５は、第１ローラ３２の左右両側で、蓋部材３が閉塞した状態から開放した状態に回転することを規制できる。このため、印刷装置１は、閉塞した状態の蓋部材３ががたつくことを防止できる。この場合、第１ローラ３２は、印刷部２６Ｂにテープを適切に押し付けることができるので、印刷部２６Ｂによる印刷を安定的に実行させることができる。   Each of the pair of restricting members 25 includes an engagement extending portion 251B and an engagement recess 251D. In a state where the lid member 3 is closed, the pair of engaging members 321 of the lid member 3 engages in the engaging recess 251D and below the engaging extending portion 251B. Thereby, the rotation of the lid member 3 is restricted. As described above, the printing apparatus 1 can appropriately maintain the state in which the accommodating portion 24 is closed by the lid member 3 by the pair of regulating members 25. Further, the pair of regulating members 25 can regulate the rotation of the lid member 3 from the closed state to the opened state on both the left and right sides of the first roller 32. For this reason, the printing apparatus 1 can prevent the cover member 3 in the closed state from rattling. In this case, since the first roller 32 can appropriately press the tape against the printing unit 26B, printing by the printing unit 26B can be stably performed.

更に、一対の規制部材２５は、剥離機構５が第３状態から第２状態に切り替わることを規制できると同時に、蓋部材３が閉塞した状態から開放した状態に回転することを規制する。このため、それぞれの機能が別部材によって実現される場合と比べて、部品点数を削減できる。更に、それぞれの機能が別部材によって実現される場合と比べて、第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１との間の距離を一定に保つことが容易に可能となる。   Further, the pair of restricting members 25 can restrict the peeling mechanism 5 from switching from the third state to the second state, and at the same time restrict the lid member 3 from rotating from the closed state to the opened state. For this reason, compared with the case where each function is implement | achieved by another member, a number of parts can be reduced. Furthermore, it is possible to easily keep the distance between the first roller 32 and the second roller 51 constant as compared with the case where the respective functions are realized by separate members.

印刷装置１において、第４状態（図１２、図１３参照）における剥離機構５の後方への移動は、一対の固定部材７３が枠部５２の一対の固定部５７に後側から接触することに応じて規制される。なお、印刷装置１は、剥離機構５が第４状態の場合、第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１とが離隔し、通常モードで動作する。このため、印刷装置１は、一対の固定部材７３によって剥離機構５を第４状態で安定的に維持させることができるので、通常モードで安定的に動作できる。   In the printing apparatus 1, the backward movement of the peeling mechanism 5 in the fourth state (see FIGS. 12 and 13) is that the pair of fixing members 73 come into contact with the pair of fixing portions 57 of the frame portion 52 from the rear side. Regulated accordingly. In the printing apparatus 1, when the peeling mechanism 5 is in the fourth state, the first roller 32 and the second roller 51 are separated from each other and operate in the normal mode. For this reason, since the printing apparatus 1 can stably maintain the peeling mechanism 5 in the fourth state by the pair of fixing members 73, it can stably operate in the normal mode.

＜変形例＞
本発明は、上記実施形態に限定されず、種々の変更が可能である。上記において、一対の規制部材２５は、係合凹部２５１Ｃ、２５２Ｂ、及び、係合突出部２５２Ｃを有していた。係合突出部２５２Ｃは、剥離機構５が第３状態となった場合に、剥離機構５の一対の突出部５３の後側への移動を規制することによって、剥離機構５が第２状態に切り替わることを規制した。これに対し、一対の規制部材２５は、係合凹部２５１Ｃ、２５２Ｂ、及び、係合突出部２５２Ｃを有していなくてもよい。例えば、一対の軸支持部７１のそれぞれの溝７１１に、剥離機構５が第３状態に配置された状態で、軸部５２３の移動を規制する規制部が設けられてもよい。この規制部は、軸部５２３の移動を規制することによって、剥離機構５が第３状態から第２状態に切り替わることを規制してもよい。 <Modification>
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. In the above, the pair of regulating members 25 has the engagement recesses 251C and 252B and the engagement protrusion 252C. When the peeling mechanism 5 is in the third state, the engagement protrusion 252C restricts the movement of the peeling mechanism 5 to the rear side of the pair of protrusions 53, whereby the peeling mechanism 5 is switched to the second state. Regulated that. On the other hand, the pair of restricting members 25 may not have the engagement recesses 251C and 252B and the engagement protrusion 252C. For example, each groove 711 of the pair of shaft support portions 71 may be provided with a restriction portion that restricts the movement of the shaft portion 523 in a state where the peeling mechanism 5 is disposed in the third state. This restricting portion may restrict the peeling mechanism 5 from switching from the third state to the second state by restricting the movement of the shaft portion 523.

一対の規制部材２５とは別の機構に、係合凹部２５１Ｃ、２５２Ｂ、及び、係合突出部２５２Ｃに対応する部位が設けられてもよい。そして、別の機構が剥離機構５の一対の突出部５３と係合することによって、剥離機構５が第３状態から第２状態に切り替わることが規制されてもよい。つまり、蓋部材３を閉塞した状態で保持する部材と、剥離機構５を第３状態で保持する部材とは、別部材であってもよい。   Sites corresponding to the engagement recesses 251C and 252B and the engagement protrusion 252C may be provided in a mechanism different from the pair of restriction members 25. Then, the switching of the peeling mechanism 5 from the third state to the second state may be regulated by engaging another mechanism with the pair of protrusions 53 of the peeling mechanism 5. That is, the member that holds the lid member 3 in a closed state and the member that holds the peeling mechanism 5 in the third state may be separate members.

上記において、一対の規制部材２５のそれぞれの係合延設部２５１Ｂは、蓋部材３の一対の係合部材３２１の移動を規制することによって、蓋部材３がバネ２９Ａの付勢力によって閉塞状態から開放状態に向けて回転することを規制した。これに対し、例えば、蓋部材３にバネ２９Ａは設けられていなくてもよい。この場合、蓋部材３が閉塞状態から開放状態に向けて回転することを規制する部材は設けられていなくてもよい。   In the above, the engagement extending portions 251B of the pair of regulating members 25 regulate the movement of the pair of engaging members 321 of the lid member 3, so that the lid member 3 is brought into the closed state by the urging force of the spring 29A. Restricted rotation to open state. On the other hand, for example, the spring 29 </ b> A may not be provided on the lid member 3. In this case, a member that restricts the rotation of the lid member 3 from the closed state toward the open state may not be provided.

上記において、一対の固定部材７３は、剥離機構５が第４状態から後方に移動することを規制することによって、剥離機構５が第４状態から第３状態に切り替わることを規制した。これに対し、一対の固定部材７３とは別の機構によって、剥離機構５が第４状態から第３状態に切り替わることを規制してもよい。例えば、一対の軸支持部７１のそれぞれの溝７１１に、剥離機構５が第４状態に配置された状態で、軸部５２３の移動を規制する規制部が設けられてもよい。この規制部は、軸部５２３の移動を規制することによって、剥離機構５が第４状態から第３状態に切り替わることを規制してもよい。   In the above description, the pair of fixing members 73 restricts the separation mechanism 5 from switching from the fourth state to the third state by restricting the separation mechanism 5 from moving backward from the fourth state. On the other hand, the separation mechanism 5 may be restricted from switching from the fourth state to the third state by a mechanism different from the pair of fixing members 73. For example, each groove 711 of the pair of shaft support portions 71 may be provided with a restriction portion that restricts the movement of the shaft portion 523 in a state where the peeling mechanism 5 is disposed in the fourth state. This restricting portion may restrict the peeling mechanism 5 from switching from the fourth state to the third state by restricting the movement of the shaft portion 523.

上記において、第３状態における軸部５２３と第１ローラ３２との間の距離（第４距離Ｌ４）は、突出状態における軸部５２３と第２ローラ５１との間の距離（第１距離Ｌ１）と略同一となった。ここで、略同一とは、第１距離Ｌ１と第４距離Ｌ４との差異が、第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１のそれぞれの半径を加算した距離以内である状態を示す。つまり、第１距離Ｌ１と第４距離Ｌ４とは、第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１とのそれぞれの半径を加算した長さ分異なっていてもよい。なお、上記の略同一の条件を満たす場合、第３状態において、第１ローラ３２と第２ローラ５１とは、台紙を挟持可能になる。   In the above description, the distance between the shaft portion 523 and the first roller 32 in the third state (fourth distance L4) is the distance between the shaft portion 523 and the second roller 51 in the protruding state (first distance L1). It became almost the same. Here, “substantially the same” indicates a state in which the difference between the first distance L1 and the fourth distance L4 is within a distance obtained by adding the respective radii of the first roller 32 and the second roller 51. That is, the first distance L1 and the fourth distance L4 may differ by the length obtained by adding the respective radii of the first roller 32 and the second roller 51. Note that, when the substantially same condition is satisfied, in the third state, the first roller 32 and the second roller 51 can sandwich the mount.
