Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable electronic hand labeler comprising thermal printing.

It is especially suitable for displaying prices in stores (in-store marking), and in detail, the barcode price is printed on the label or tag, and this is attached to the product as a label or tag. This is a special electronic printing device that is easy to carry and is used for reading with optical readers.

- In general, this type of thermal printing is performed using a fixed type desktop printer, or because the printer is large and heavy, the product must be moved to the location where the product is placed, or the product must be moved to the location where the desktop printer is installed. The work efficiency is extremely poor since the label must be pasted on the label.

In addition, a portable label printing and pasting a (so-called hand labeler) is used in place of the desktop printer, but this hand labeler is prone to setting errors in input data such as price and check digits, and is especially difficult to print. In barcode printing, which requires precision, there is a defect that prevents perfect printing.

In view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention extracts only the good points of the desktop printer and hand labeler to provide a thermal printing electronic hand labeler with high workability and printing accuracy.

(Prior technology) The configuration of a conventional electronic hand labeler for thermal printing is that a motor connects a roller that holds or pulls only the tape-like backing paper on which the thermal label is temporarily attached, and the tape-like backing paper is forcibly attached to the machine. This is a method in which it is extended backwards.

This system is configured only to issue ordinary labels every leaf. Here, the term "printing each label" means that a large number of thermal labels temporarily attached to a tape-like mount after thermal printing are peeled off using a reversing bin provided at the tip of the machine. Then, this issued label is attached to a product or the like using a label attaching means provided in the machine.

In this way, it is inconvenient to issue only the above-mentioned labels every leaf.1 For example, it is necessary to continuously issue the required number of labels to each sales corner of Super Matsuketo etc. based on predetermined data, or to directly issue labels directly to the product supplier. There are cases where the material is handed over and pasted by hand without using any equipment. This kind of label issuance is called continuous label issuance, which means that the thermal label is temporarily attached to the tape-like mount and is fed out to the tip of the machine without peeling off the label as described above. Then, the issued label is peeled off from the tape-like mount with a fingertip or the like, and then manually pasted onto a product or the like.

Furthermore, since it is inconvenient to issue only the above-mentioned labels every leaf, there is also a configuration in which an attachment separate from the machine is attached to the machine to continuously issue labels with one mount. However, this attachment has the drawback that it is troublesome to attach and detach it from the machine.

(Purpose of the Invention) The present invention is capable of issuing both leaflets of labels and continuous printing of labels with mounts without attaching any attachments to this machine, and furthermore, it is a continuous technology that is similar to the continuous printing of labels. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic hand labeler with thermal printing that can also issue tags using a printing and pasting unit.

(Summary of the Invention) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a platen roller for feeding out thermal labels and continuous tag feeding, which is disposed opposite to a thermal head, and a transfer roller for feeding out the edge of a tape-shaped mount. It is constructed so that it is forcibly driven and rotated by a motor, so that it is possible to issue both labels every leaf and to issue labels continuously.

That is, by simply aligning the tip of the thermal head 36 with this positioning stepped portion 35a, the elastically biased thermal head 36 is set to the normal position, and the prochin roller 51, which will be described later, is disposed opposite to this thermal head 36. This is a configuration that measures the parallelism of . In the figure, 25a is a heat radiation hole for the motor M, and 25b is a window for the lamp L.

Next, the pair of elastic locking bodies 3 are attached to the thermal head 36.
The platen roller 5 is elastically pressed by 3a and 33b.
1 is attached to a rotatable platen arm 50. The platen roller 51 is attached to a roller shaft 52,
Both wheel ends are housed in a locking portion 53 formed by a notch in the frame of the platen arm 50. This platen roller 51 is configured to be rotated by a motor M which is a drive source to be described later, and is in pressure contact with the thermal head 36 to form a thermal label 9 of a tape-shaped thermal label continuous body 95.
This platen roller 5 performs desired thermal printing on 6.
A turning pin 54 for inverting the tape-like mount 97 at the tip of 1 and peeling off the thermal label 96 temporarily attached thereon.
is set.

Furthermore, this platen arm 5o is configured to be freely rotatable counterclockwise about a pivot 77 as a fulcrum. A label holding member 72 that moves counterclockwise in conjunction with the rotation of the platen arm 50 is provided within the machine. Specifically, a connecting pin 76 provided on an upwardly bent connecting portion 55 at the rear of the platen arm 5o is fitted into a slit 75 of the label holding member 72, and is interlocked with the counterclockwise rotation of the platen arm 5o. Then, the label pressing member 72 uses the fixed guide roller 74 provided at one end as a fulcrum, and displaces the movable guide roller 73 provided at the other end from the solid line in the direction of the two-dot chain line. That is, both guide rollers 73 and 74 that were in contact with the inclined label guide passage surface 19 provided at the lower part of the label holder 13 are separated from this label guide passage surface 19 to form a label insertion passage. ing.

Next, in the vicinity of this label pressing member 72, there is a traction roller 71 of a label transfer device 70 rotated by a motor M, which will be described later.
Or is it being installed nearby? This pulling roller 71 is pressed against a pressing roller 83 set on the bottom cover 8o, which will be described later, and a tape-shaped mount 97 is pressed between both rollers 71 and 83.
In order to peel off the thermal label 96 from the mount 97, it is fed out to the rear of the machine.

In this embodiment, the pulling roller 71 is configured to pull the tape-shaped mount 97; for example, a locking pin is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body, and a transfer hole or a transfer cut is provided in the tape-shaped mount 97. The thermal label continuum 9
It may be configured as an engaging roller that advances the engaging roller 5, and means a transfer roller that guides out the tape-like backing sheet that also includes the engaging roller.

As shown in FIG. 5, the platen roller 51 that feeds out the thermal label continuous body 95 to the front of the machine and the pulling roller 71 that feeds out the tape-shaped mount 97 to the rear of the machine are forcibly rotated by a motor M. The rotation of the platen roller 51 is a gear transmission structure in which rotation of the gear 42 of the motor M is transmitted to intermediate gears 43 and 44, and from there to the platen roller gear 45. The rotation of the pulling roller 71 is configured such that the drive of the motor M is transmitted from the gear 48 to the pulling roller 49 via a belt 47 suspended between pulleys 46a and 46b.

The driving rotation of the pulling roller 71 must be faster than the driving rotation of the platen roller 51. The reason for this is that good label peeling cannot be achieved unless the platen roller 51 is rotationally driven to excessively pull the tape-shaped mount 97 after the thermal label 96 has been peeled off.

Next, the bottom cover 80 is attached to the roller shaft 9 of the label pasting roller 91.

A mount guide roller 82 is provided at the rear, and the pressure roller 83 is further provided. Both ends of the roller shaft 84 of the pressure roller 83 are housed in locking portions 85 formed by cuts in the frame of the bottom cover 80.

In addition, an engaging +h recess 86 is formed at the rear end of the bottom A80,
An elastically biased set pin 27 fitted into a guide slit 28 formed in the outer frame 11 is locked in the locking recess 86 .

The set pin 27 is connected to the platen arm 50 shown in FIG.
This configuration is linked to the locking device 60 of.

Specifically, the set pin 27 is covered with a link 61 and a spring 61b interposed on a spring shaft 61a attached to the middle frame 12. And this spring 6
1b is a structure that urges the link 61 in the direction of the tip (leftward in FIG. 4). In other words, this set pin 27
The guide slit 28 is biased by the spring 61b.
It appears to be pressed towards the left end. Further, a hook 63 is attached to the tip of this link 61 with a connecting pin 62, and the hook 63 is rotatable about a fulcrum shaft 64, and a locking portion 63a at the tip is formed in a part of the platen arm 50. It is configured so that it can be freely engaged and detached from a locking protrusion 56 (whole perspective view is shown in FIG. 6). Further, one end of a spring 65b interposed on a spring shaft 65a attached to the middle frame 12 is attached to this link 61, and the other end of this spring 65b is brought into contact with the spring stopper 24, causing this link 61 to move backward. The configuration is such that the platen arm 50 is biased clockwise to facilitate opening when the platen arm 50 is opened.

Furthermore, a mount roller arm 66 for elastically biasing the pulling roller 71 against the pressing roller 83 of the bottom cover 80 is held in the middle frame 12 portion. Specifically, the mount roller arm 66 pivotally supported on the fulcrum shaft 67 has a housing portion 68 containing a spring 69, and the spring 69 is brought into contact with the stepped portion 12a of the middle frame 12, and the mount roller arm 66 is pivoted on the fulcrum shaft 67. The entire 66 is biased in a clockwise direction. Therefore, the traction roller 71 mounted below the mount roller arm 66 is urged clockwise, and the tape-shaped mount is guided between the traction roller 71 and the pressure roller 83 of the bottom cover 80 that is in pressure contact with the traction roller 71. 97 to the rear of the machine, and absorbs the slip occurring between the excessively rotating pulling roller and the tape-shaped mount 97 by the action of the spring 69 of the mount roller arm 66.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 3B and 6, a driver insertion hole 57 is provided in a part of the platen arm 50. This driver insertion hole 57 is inserted into the thermal printing device when the platen arm 50 is opened in the inclined state. 1
It is preferable that the position corresponds to the mounting screw 40 of 30.

Furthermore, a locking protrusion 56 for locking the locking portion 63a of the hook 63 is provided protruding from the side of the platen arm 50.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3A, 6 and 7, a rear cutter 87 of a tape-shaped mount 97 is attached to the rear end surface of the bottom cover 80, and a thermal label 96 is temporarily attached to the tape-shaped mount 97 on the front end surface of the bottom cover 80. A front cutter 88 of the thermal label continuous body 95 is provided, respectively.

Next, as a preliminary step to printing barcodes using this machine,
The thermal label continuous body 95 wound in a roll shape around the label holder 13 of the printing and pasting unit 1 is rolled out into a tape shape, and the label is loaded into the machine. As shown in FIG. 3B, labels can be loaded very smoothly by opening the bottom cover 80 and opening the platen roller 50, which is opened in the opposite direction to this opening direction.

Note that this label loading means a normal label set. In detail, the thermal label continuous body 95 is connected to the turning pin 5.
The thermal label 96 is inverted at four parts and pressed against the platen roller 51 and the thermal head 36, which are forcibly rotated by the motor M, to perform desired thermal printing on the thermal label 96, and then the label is issued. Similarly to the platen roller 51, the inverted tape-shaped mount 97 is brought into pressure contact with the traction roller 71 and the pressure roller 83, which are forcibly rotated by the motor M, and is led out to the rear of the machine. This is a configuration with good label peeling.

Next, regarding the barcode printing operation, the configuration of the control unit 100 will be explained with particular reference to the exploded perspective view of FIG. As described above, the control unit 100 is configured separately from the printing and pasting unit 1, and includes a keyboard 103, a display 104, and a battery 105.
It is equipped with The controller section 101 includes a keyboard 103 and a display 104, and a battery section 102 includes a battery 105.

The controller section 101 includes a keyboard window 107 that engages with the keyboard 103. A front cover 106 provided with a display window 108 that engages the display 104, a group of keyboards 103, a substrate 109, and the display 104. An electronic element 111, a connector 112 for connection to a personal computer, etc., and the printing and pasting unit l.

and a holding frame 115 provided with a switch 116 and the like.

The battery part 102 has a dovetail cover 11 with a dovetail groove 120.
9, a charging connector 123 connected to an external power source,
Σ, a battery l05 provided with a connector 122 for connection to the controller section 101, and a bottom cover 124.

This battery section 102 is connected to the controller section 101 with a hook 117. In detail, this hook 117 is attached to the ant till 120 of the battery cover 119.
The battery section 102 and the controller section 101 are held together by being guided by the holding frame 115 so as to protrude and engage with the connection window 118 of the holding frame 115 .

Further, the connector 122 of the battery 105 is connected to the plug 121 of the controller section 101 and is in an energized state.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained using bar code printing as an example with reference to FIGS. 2, 3A, 3B, 5 and 8.

First, the switch 116 of the control unit 100 is turned on, and data to be printed is input by key operations on the keyboard 103. Specifically, after entering the product code, price, etc., the number of copies to be issued is entered. Based on this input data, a check digit is automatically calculated and sent to the control unit 100.
is displayed on the display 104 of.

Next, when the push button 21 of the printing and pasting unit L is pressed to turn on the microswitch 22, a predetermined issuing element of the thermal head 36 generates heat according to a command from the control section, and the thermal label 96 in pressure contact with the platen roller 51 develops color. Then, - stage printing is performed.

Next, when the motor M rotates a predetermined amount, the gear 4 rotates in the - direction.
2.43.44.45, the platen roller 50 is rotated by a predetermined angle, and the entire thermal label continuous body 95 on the platen roller 50 is sent forward, and at the same time, the belt 47 and gears 48, 49 are rotated on the other side. The pulling roller 71 is rotated through a predetermined angle via the roller 83 to pull the tape-shaped mount 97 a predetermined distance in cooperation with the pressure roller 83.

Therefore, the thermal label 96 of the fed-out thermal label continuous body 95 begins to peel off from the tape-shaped mount 97 at the turning pin 54 portion.

Next, when the thermal head 36 acts again in the same manner as described above to print the next predetermined amount on the thermal label 96, the thermal label continuous body 95 is transferred, and when the label-Autumn equinox printing is completed, the sensor The thermal label continuous body 95 is fed and stopped until S detects a detection mark (not shown) made on the back surface of the tape-shaped mount 96.

The thermal paper 96 thermally printed by the above label transfer is transferred to the turning pin 5 at the tip of the platen roller 51.
The label is peeled off from the tape-like mount 97 at four parts and reaches the label issuing port 29, that is, the label pasting section 90.

That is, it is sent out below the pasting roller 91 while being attached to the auxiliary peeling pin 81 . Then, the pasting roller 91 of the print pasting unit l of the operator who grasped the grip 20
A thermal label 96 with a barcode printed thereon is pasted by rubbing the part onto the article. In this way, once all the labels for the preset number of issues have been issued,
The electromechanical operation of the main printing and pasting unit l and the control unit lOO is completed and stopped.

Next, when printing labels continuously, that is, when feeding out labels with a backing paper that does not peel off from the label printing port 29 located at the front of the printing and pasting unit 1, the bottom M80 and the platen The ROHM 50 is opened, but the thermal label continuous body 95 is not turned. In other words, the thermal label continuous body is guided to the label guide path surface 19 and reaches the label issuing port 29 from the platen roller 51 portion. , the setting is completed by simply locking the platen arm 50 and the bottom cover 80.

Then, in the same manner as described above, by operating the push button 21 of the printing and pasting unit L, thermal printing is applied by forced rotation of the platen roller 51 through the gears by the driving rotation of the motor M, and the print is continuously printed to the front of the machine. It is something that

This device also has an online function, and if the connector 112 of the control unit 100 is connected to a personal computer, input data from the personal computer or data stored on a floppy disk can be transmitted to the labeling unit l. The configuration allows desired printing to be performed on the thermal label, and furthermore, data can be input from the pen scanner 40.

Next, the label cutting device will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 7.

After the thermal label continuous body 95 has been subjected to desired thermal printing, it can continuously issue labels with a backing paper that are drawn out to the front of the printing and pasting unit 1, and issue each leaf of labels that peel off only the tape-like backing paper that is fed out to the rear. There is.

Normally, labels are issued every leaf, and specifically, a thermal label continuous body 95 thermally printed by a thermal head 36 and a drivingly rotating platen roller 51 is pulled by a tape-shaped backing paper 97 by its turning pin 54. As a result, the thermal label 96 is peeled off. And this tape-shaped mount 9
7 is guided by a mount guide 82 and then guided to the outside of the machine by a pulling roller 71 and a pressure roller 83.

After the label is issued and the label is pasted, the tape-like mount 97 is fed out to the rear of the machine by an appropriate length and then cut. This tape-shaped mount 97 is cut by a cutter 87 provided at the rear of the bottom cover 80.

On the other hand, the label is not peeled off, and the label is not pasted by the pasting roller 91 of this machine after a certain number of labels have been issued.
When attaching a thermal label 96 with thermal printing to a product using a notebook, when so-called serially issuing labels with a mount, the continuous label with a mount that is edged out at the front of the machine is attached to the bottom cover. Cutting is performed with a front cutter 88 provided at the front of 80.

In this way, this device has a dual-strength structure with a rear cutter 87 provided at the rear of the bottom cover 80 and a front cutter 88 provided in front of the bottom cover 80, so that the rear cutter 87 is used when printing each leaf of normal labels. When printing labels continuously, that is, when feeding out the labels with a liner to the front of the machine, each label is cut by the front cutter 88, which is convenient.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention regarding a printing device that can be used for both labels and tags will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 9.

This electronic hand labeler is generally applied to thermal labels, but this device is configured to be capable of printing on a continuous body of thermal tags. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, when printing on the thermal tag continuous body 140 wound into a roll, the printing and pasting unit l, the keyboard 103,
A control unit lOO including a display 104 and a battery 105 is set on a pedestal 130.

The control unit side 131 is connected to the control unit 100.
In order to operate the keys smoothly, the operation side is tilted low, and the printing and pasting unit side 132 is parallel to the label issuing port 29 of the printing and pasting unit 1 for smooth tag issuing, thereby preventing vibration. A partition wall 135 is provided for use.

Furthermore, a tag reel 136 is rotatably attached to a reel support 137 at the rear of the printing and pasting unit side 132 of the gantry 130. It is necessary that the leading end of the thermal tag continuous body 140 wound around the tag reel 136 faces the opening 18 formed when the label case 14 of the printing and pasting unit 1 is closed.

In this way, the thermal tag continuous body 140 wound around the tag reel 136 is inserted from the label guide path surface 19 introduced from the opening 18 in a straight line with the bottom cover 80 of the printing and pasting unit and the platen arm 50 in the open state. Guided by the label guide path surface 78 of the platen arm 50, simple tag insertion is completed.Then, the open platen arm 50 and bottom lid 80 are closed. At this time, the leading end of the thermal tag continuum 140 is inserted into the label issuing port 2 without turning as in the case of issuing each label.
lead in a straight line. In this state, the printing and pasting unit 1 is set in the groove 134 of the pedestal 130.

Next, data is input by key operations on the keyboard 103 of the control unit 100. Next, by pressing the push button 21 of the printing and pasting unit 1, the thermally printed tag is fed out from the label issuing port 29 by the same operation as the label printing described above. It will be done. In this case, it is important that the thermal head 36 drives the elastically suppressed platen roller 51, and this is the same as the operation for continuous label printing, so it will be omitted.

According to this printing apparatus, the printing and pasting unit 1 and the control unit lOO are loaded on the mount 130, and the thermal label continuous body 95 is wound around the printing and pasting unit l in a roll shape.
