It will be set up in Further, the control means is configured such that each time the receiving section 3 stops, the label suction tool 6 adsorbs one label 9 from the label supply section 4, and then moves the label suction tool 6 by operating the rotary moving section 8 to paste the label. Glue or the like is applied to the label 9 by the etc. supply unit 5, and the label 9 is made to face the stack of flat packages 1. In this state, the pressing mechanism 7 is operated so that the label 9 is attached to the flat packages. will be affixed to.

More specifically, the table 10 includes rails and rollers 1.
1, a frame body 12 is mounted so as to be movable back and forth with respect to the stack of flat packages 1, and the frame body 12 is formed so that the distance from the stack of flat packages 1 can be adjusted by a hydraulic cylinder 13 or the like. The pile of flat packages 1 is placed on a conveyor 14 such as a conveyor via a pallet 15. A plurality of rails 16 and a male threaded rod 17 constituting the intermittent feed mechanism 2 are vertically installed on the frame body 12, and a receiving part 3 is attached to the rail 16 so as to be able to rise and fall freely. A screw 17a is screwed into the male screw rod 17.

A driving gear 19 meshing with a male threaded rod 17 pivotally connected to the frame body 12 is disposed at the upper end of the frame body 12, and this gear shaft 19a is connected to a rotary encoder via a belt and a pulley 20. 21, and the electromagnetic clutch 22 is connected to a motor 23 to form the intermittent feed mechanism 2. The control means are
A preset value and the counted value of the rotary encoder 21 are compared with a comparator (not shown), and when the two match, a control signal is output from the comparator, and the electromagnetic clutch with brake is disconnected by this control signal. It is controlled to wait for a predetermined period of time.

An arm 24 protrudes from the front of the upper end of the frame body 12, and a support for stacking flat packages, such as an air cylinder 25, is vertically installed on this arm 24, and a piston 25a of this air cylinder 25 descends to stack the stacks of flat packages. It supports the upper end surface of 1. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a label pasting air cylinder serving as a pressing mechanism is provided on a rotary table 26 in the receiving portion 3, and a label suction tool 6 is provided at the tip of the piston 7a of the air cylinder 7. It is being Behind this air cylinder 7 is a label supply section 4 in which labels 9 can be stored in a cassette type.
A gluing roller 5 serving as a glue supply unit is provided above. Further, a rotary actuator 8 is provided on the rotating shaft 26a of the rotating table 26 as a rotationally moving unit for changing the direction of the air cylinder 7 by approximately 180 degrees.

The label suction device 6 is connected to a suction hole 6a and an air suction and air ejection device using a compressor, electromagnetic valve, etc. (not shown). Note that the cylinder 7 may be replaced by a motor, a crank, or a solenoid, and the rotary actuator may be replaced by a cylinder or the like for vertical or horizontal movement. In addition, if a dry adhesive has been applied to the label in advance, a moisture adhesion roller is used.

Then, when the stack of flat packages 1 is automatically transferred to the set point of the device of the present invention by the conveying device 14 and stopped, the air cylinder 25 is operated and the piston 25 is moved.
a descends and its tip supports the upper end surface of the pile of flat packages 1, and after one label 9 is adsorbed from the label supply section 4, the rotary actuator 8 operates to move the air cylinder 7 in an approximately 180° direction. During the conversion, the adsorbed labels 9 are glued by the gluing roller 5 and placed facing the stack of flat packaging 1. In this state, the labels 9 are pressed by the operation of the air cylinder 7, and the air is sucked into the adsorption holes 6a. After that, the label suction tool 6 automatically returns, the electromagnetic clutch 22 operates, the male screw rod 17 rotates, the receiving part 3 moves intermittently by a predetermined width along the rail 16, and the electromagnetic clutch 22
is cut in response to a control signal, the receiving section 3 is stopped for a predetermined period of time, the above-mentioned labeling operation is performed within this stopping time, and the above-mentioned operation is thus repeated.

Note that as a means for automatically switching the electromagnetic clutch 22 intermittently, an appropriate manually adjustable comparator may be connected to the rotary encoder 21 to measure and adjust the thickness of the flat package in advance; or The location of the label on the package may be detected by an appropriate sensor, or may be controlled by a computer, and other changes may be made as appropriate.

Further, although a flat package is shown as a laminate, a flat laminate may also be used, and the label may be a plastic plate or a metal plate, and stamping may be performed at the same time as pasting.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. For example, each function of the control means may be performed by a microcomputer or by a separate electronic circuit.
