Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a laminating device built into an ID booklet creating device.

[Conventional technology]

ID cards have been used to prove an individual's identity for a long time, but unless the contents such as the photo to prove the identity of the individual and the rights of the individual are prevented from being tampered with, the ID card cannot be used. Therefore, there is no point in proving it.

Therefore, in order to prevent photos from being replaced and falsification of written information, a laminating method has been adopted for boat fishing.

Lamination is a method in which a transparent laminate material is adhered to the photo side or written side of the card.The laminate material firmly adheres to the image, so even if it is removed, the card side may be destroyed. Even if you paste something else on it, it will clearly be known as a forgery.

Heat-fusible adhesives such as hot melt adhesives have been used to bond these laminates.

When laminating a photo after pasting it on a card as described above, since the photo is approximately 100 microns or more thick, there is a step at the edge of the photo, which may cause the lamination to not always work properly and cause it to peel off. becomes. Therefore, in recent years, forming such photographs directly on laminate materials has begun to be put into practical use.

For example, an image is formed by imagewise exposure on a photoreceptor made of a transparent PET base coated with a photosensitive material, and an image-receiving sheet is made of a transparent PET base with an image-receiving layer formed on one side. There is a method of directly laminating the transferred image onto the card by taking advantage of the fact that the image surface on which the image is received is thermoplastic.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Since it is a booklet, there was a problem that the lamination process was discontinuous at the binding part and the adhesive was not good near the binding part. ID booklet laminate solves this problem and can perform uniform lamination on the entire surface. The purpose is to provide a device.

[Means to solve the problem]

The purpose of this is to provide an ID booklet laminating device that laminates an image receiving material at a predetermined position of an ID booklet, and a temporary adhesion part that overlaps the ID booklet and the image receiving material and temporarily adheres a part of the leading edge in the conveying direction, and a heating section located on the side that has a built-in heater and guides the image-receiving material side; a conveyance roller that is disposed at a distance opposite to the heating section; and a cooling air blowing toward the booklet from above the conveyance roller. An ID booklet laminating device comprising a cooling fan and a heating and pressure roller with a built-in heater in the shaft core, and characterized in that it has means for switching the lamination speed of the binding section of the booklet by the heating and pressure roller to a low speed. achieved by.

〔Example〕

First, the ID booklet will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 1, the ID booklet consists of a booklet section 2 consisting of a plurality of writable pages, and an ID card section 3 in which personal information is written.

The ID car 1 part 3 includes an individual's face photograph 4 and information 5 regarding the individual such as name, date of birth, and address.

The ID booklet outer device 10 is made of, for example, a plastic film sheet that cannot be easily damaged, and one side is the exterior of the booklet section 2 and the other is the exterior of the ID car 1 section 3.

Paper Ill is adhered to the inner surface of the outer device 10 from the ID card part to the booklet part, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) 112 is adhered or coated on this paper Ill,
The image receiving material 20 is welded to this.

This image receiving material 20 is placed on a support 121 made of transparent PET.
A VC image recording layer 122 is provided. Note that the image was recorded as a reverse image so that it would be a normal image with the image receiving material 20 welded to the p v C 112. The image receiving material 20 is made as follows.

First, a photograph of the applicant's face and text information are recorded on a photosensitive material using an exposure means. As this exposure means, a laser printer or the like that makes full use of information processing technology is used.

The recorded image is transferred to the 270 layers of the image-receiving material by bringing the photosensitive material into close contact with the image-receiving material and heat-developing it. Thereafter, the photosensitive material is peeled off and discarded, and the remaining material is used as the image receiving material 20.

The mechanism for welding this image-receiving material to the booklet is that both the booklet and the image-receiving material have 270 layers on their surfaces.
By heating and pressurizing the two in close contact, this PVC
are melted and welded together. In this way, the image-bearing laminate is welded directly to the booklet, so that it is impossible to tamper with it by removing it, for example.

Next, the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

A large number of ID booklets before being laminated are stored in a hopper 6 of a book supply means 1 with the outer device 10 facing upward. The direction is with ID car 1 part 3 to the right.

The hopper 6 has an opening at the bottom, and a suction feeding means 7 is provided to this opening. 7
descends, pulls out the booklet from the hopper 6, and inserts the right end of the ID car 1 section 3 into a pair of rollers 9 of the booklet conveying means. Then, the booklet is conveyed downward by the rotation of the pair of rollers, and while being held between the pair of rollers IO, the ID card 1 section 3 is inserted into the printing section of the printer 15, and necessary information is printed by control (not shown). Ru.

At this time, the booklet portion 2 of the booklet faces the swinging roller 11. When printing is finished, the booklet is returned upwards, or in synchronization with this, the swinging roller 11 moves to the left as shown by the dotted line, pushing the booklet section 2 to the left, and the receiver moves between the roller 12 and the swinging roller. At 11, the booklet part 2 is held.

Then, when the booklet attempts to move backward and rise further, the booklet portion 2 moves further to the left, but at this time, the roller 12 of the receiver is also driven counterclockwise to convey the booklet portion 2 further to the left.

By this action, the ID car 1 part 3 of the booklet is pulled up and returned to the branching path 16, but at this time the booklet is flat as a whole and is along the slope of the conveyance guide 17, so it is then moved to the receiver. When the roller 12 starts to be driven clockwise, the ID card section moves straight to the right and enters between the rollers 13 and 14. and roller 13
It is transported to the right by the clockwise rotation of. Note that the roller 14 is spring-biased or pressed by its own weight in the direction of the roller 13 from above, and is driven by the rotation of the roller 13.

On the other hand, the image-receiving material 20, which has already completed image transfer and photosensitive material stripping, is fed from the lower entrance 18 and carried in by a pair of entrance rollers 19, but if jam information is received at this time, the transport path switching means 2OA interrupts the conveyance path and retracts the image-receiving material 20 into the tray 21 on the left. Since the evacuated image-receiving materials 20 carry valuable images, they are stored in a separate storage means in the order in which they were evacuated, and when fed again, the ID booklet is synchronized with the booklet based on the recorded data. can be completed.

Next, when there is no jam information, the image-receiving material 20 is conveyed upward and then enters the cutter part 22, where a sensor detects a positioning mark recorded on the image-receiving material 20 and stops. . When the positioning is correct, the male blade 23 of the cutter part 22 rises and engages with the female blade 24 to punch out a size that fits the ID car 1 part 3.

The cutter portion 22 is configured such that a male blade 23 and a female blade 24 are guided by a guide post fixed to a stand and are properly engaged with each other, and a spring 25 is provided between them, and a spring 25 is provided between them. The male blade 23 is rotated by the abutting eccentric cam 26.
The structure is such that it rises and falls.

When the eccentricity of the eccentric cam is at its minimum, the male blade 23 is lowered, and the image receiving material 2 is placed between the male blade 23 and the female blade 24.
It forms a space into which 0 is carried.

When the eccentric cam 26 rotates and its eccentricity reaches its maximum, the male blade 23 meshes with the female blade 24, and the image receiving material 20
is punched out.

In this state, the upper surface of the male blade 23 and the upper surface of the female blade 24 are configured to be approximately on the same plane, and the conveying means built into the male blade 23 operates to convey the punched image receiving material 20 to the upper right. , and sent to the alignment section 27.

On the other hand, the punched dregs of the image receiving material 20 are removed by the eccentric cam 26.
further rotates, and when the male blade 23 descends, it is carried out to the right, stored in the scrap receptacle 28, and discarded.

As described above, the image-receiving material 20 is fed in an appropriate size, and the booklet is also fed as described above and is synchronously controlled by a control section (not shown) so that they face each other at the alignment section 27.

In this positioning section 27, the tip of the ID card 1 part 3 of the booklet is positioned in a position that slightly protrudes from the tip of the image receiving material 20, is pressed by a pair of rollers 29, temporarily adhered, and then moved to the right. It is sent to the laminating section 30.

The laminating section 30 is constituted by a heating means and a pressing means, and the PVC is heated by the temperature-controlled heating means until the PVC is welded to each other and is pressed together, thereby completing the lamination as a unit.

However, since the extent of stretching of the image-receiving material 20 and the ID card 1 part 3 of the booklet is different, when the finished product is cooled to room temperature, an upwardly convex curl occurs, which is inconvenient for use. A section 31 is provided.

This curl correction section 31 employs a method in which the gap between the pair of upper and lower holding means 32 is formed in a downwardly convex shape, and is forcibly cooled from above by a fan 33.

Since the holding means 32 can be opened in the direction of the arrow with the hinge 34 as an axis, when the above-mentioned cooling has been carried out for a specified period of time, the holding means 32 opens downward and the booklet is placed on the plate 35.
to fall.

Next, the laminating means will be explained using FIG.

In FIG. 3, rollers and the like which are omitted are additionally shown.

First, ID car 1 of the booklet sent from the left in the direction of the arrow.
The portion 3 and the image receiving material 20 are connected to a pair of rollers 2 of the alignment portion 27.
7a and stop each tip/<-27b
It hits and stops. At this time, the stopper 27b has been raised to the position shown by the solid line, and the abutting portion is located exactly on the conveyance path, and the temporary adhesive roller 27d has been raised to the position shown by the dotted line, making it easy for the booklet and image-receiving material to pass through. I forgive you. Further, the pair of rollers 27a are biased so that the vertical interval can be varied, and performs clamping that allows the position of the booklet and the image-receiving material to be corrected.

When the ID card 1 3 of the booklet and the image receiving material 20 are positioned and stopped in this manner, the temporary adhesion roller 27d descends and applies pressure to temporarily adhere this portion. Temporary adhesion means point-like or linear partial adhesion to prevent positional displacement during subsequent transportation.

When the temporary adhesion is completed, the stopper 27b is lowered to the position indicated by the dotted line, and the booklet to which the image receiving material 2o has been temporarily adhered can be transported.

Then, conveyance is started, and the image-receiving material side is carried in by the pair of rollers 29 of the laminating means 30, and is heated and guided by heat conduction while contacting the heating section 30a in which the heater 30b is embedded, and is conveyed to the right. At this time, the other side of the booklet, that is, the outer device 10 side of the ID car 1 section 3, is cooled by the I cooling fan 30d to prevent the temperature from rising too much. The conveyance rollers 30c are movable up and down in order to transmit conveyance force to the booklets in response to differences in booklet thickness, and are arranged at intervals to allow passage of cooling air. The image receiving material 20 and the PVC of the ID car 1 section 3 are melted by heating effectively in this manner, and the image receiving material 20 is conveyed to the right while being pressed vertically by the next pressure roller 30e.

Next, a heat roller 3o facing the pressure roller 30e
f is hollow and has a built-in heater of 30 g.

The mechanism is that the heater 30g is a long tubular heater, both ends of which are supported and fixed, and electricity is applied from the ends to heat the heater.A hollow shaft of the heat roller 30f is positioned to surround both ends of the heater. The hollow shaft is rotatably supported by a bearing member, and a gear or the like is attached to the hollow shaft and driven. The drive is controlled by a control unit (not shown) such that when the booklet advances from the left and the pressure roller and heat roller come into contact with the binding section of the booklet, the laminating speed is switched to a low speed. be. With this configuration, it takes a long time to bond near the binding area, which is difficult to bond, so that it can be bonded well. After that, the conveyance speed is increased again and the article is conveyed to the right. The laminating speed mentioned above is the conveyance speed corresponding to the laminating operation within this system.

The timing control for switching the lamination speed can be performed by detecting the leading edge of the ID card 1 part 3 of the booklet using a sensor 30h shown in FIG.

〔Effect of the invention〕

With this structure, it is possible to completely adhere the booklet near the binding area.
