Craft the box on the device.

Background technique

In the prior art, as an example of wirelessly processing data stored in a wireless identification tag embedded with an IC chip or the like, there are known ones that use the wireless identification tag in a data collection system for collecting product data. device (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

The structure of the wireless identification tag used in this data collection system is, for example, using electromagnetic induction. When the wireless identification tag attached to the product enters the magnetic field, an electromotive force is generated by electromagnetic induction in the resonant circuit, and the transmission is sent according to the electromotive force. radio waves.

In addition, in this system, the reflected wave from the wireless identification tag is received by the receiving device, and the data pre-stored in the wireless identification tag can be read out in advance based on the received reflected wave, so it can be used for various purposes.

When the data temporarily collected from the wireless identification tag attached to the product is stored, an alarm may be sounded to indicate that the data has not been collected and the product has been taken out illegally. For example, a barcode is printed on the above-mentioned wireless identification tag, and when the product is legally taken out, the barcode is read by a scanner, and while data is collected, a radio wave is sent by a transmitter mounted on the scanner to make internal Short circuit or open the circuit, and stop the action of the IC chip built in the wireless identification tag, so that it is possible to only take out the goods with the data collected temporarily, when taking out the goods with the wireless identification tag that has not stored the data collection , The IC chip sends a reflected wave in response to the electric wave from the transmitter, that is, the interrogator, so it is judged that the product is taken out illegally and an alarm is output.

Moreover, when the place of origin, production or ex-factory date, type, price, etc. of the commodity are stored in advance by wireless writing on the above-mentioned wireless identification tag attached to the commodity, the consumer can remotely know the place of origin, production or price of each commodity. Date of manufacture, type, price, etc.

When forming an image on a wireless identification tag used in such a system, for example, an IC chip known as an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification, radio frequency identification) chip and a wireless identification antenna conductor are embedded in a strip-shaped sheet member and manufactured. A wireless identification label, and then print an image such as a barcode on one side of the wireless identification label.

Patent Document 1: Patent No. 2843437

However, in the above-mentioned wireless identification tag, there are still problems related to the printing for identification attached thereto, the IC chip embedded therein, and the antenna conductor when it is actually used.

For example, when attaching an image to the above-mentioned wireless identification tag, when the image is formed after making a wireless identification tag containing an IC chip or the like, it may be affected by the unevenness of the image forming surface formed due to the thickness of the IC chip or the like. The formed image is distorted, or when an object touches the image forming surface, the image is wiped and becomes unclear. In the case of a heat-sensitive method that heats the image forming surface to form an image, etc., due to the image forming process applied to the wireless identification tag The heat will damage the resonant circuit contained in the RFID tag, or the IC chip or the junction of the antenna conductor.

In addition, when a sheet member for a wireless identification tag containing an IC chip, an antenna conductor, etc. is accommodated, the thickness of the IC chip and the antenna conductor expands, so it is difficult to hold the adjacent wireless identification tag in the thickness direction when winding. In the closely bonded state of the sheet parts, gaps are generated, easy to loosen, and gaps formed by IC chips and antenna conductors are formed. If the sheet parts for wireless identification tags are directly wound, it may occur: Can be accommodated in the storage area The number of tags decreases, the frequency of replenishment of sheet parts for wireless identification tags becomes higher, and the storage area increases when more tags are to be accommodated, resulting in an increase in the overall size of the wireless identification tag manufacturing device, or due to the entanglement of the wireless identification tag. At least one of the IC chip, the antenna member, or the sheet member may be damaged due to abrasion due to friction and generation of static electricity when the sheet members are shifted.

In addition, the structure of the wireless identification tag is that the IC chip and the antenna conductor connected thereto are arranged on one side of the strip-shaped sheet member, but since the places where the IC chip and the like are arranged become locally thick, there are problems as follows: The uncut tape-shaped RFID tag stored in a wound state and the short-sheet-shaped RFID tag stored in a cut state require more storage space when stored in a box or the like. The same applies to the label base material (sheet member) before laminating the cover sheet.

And, in making the above-mentioned existing wireless identification tag manufacturing device by embedding the IC chip with wireless identification function and the wireless identification antenna conductor, since the larger IC chip and the thicker IC chip are embedded in the strip-shaped sheet member The wireless identification antenna conductor, therefore, the IC chip and the wireless identification antenna conductor protrude from the strip-shaped sheet member. When the strip-shaped sheet member is wound into a roll shape, the protruding amount overlaps. When the wireless identification label is produced in the wireless identification label production device, the IC tag and the wireless identification antenna conductor are pushed by the conveying roller during the label production process, so that the load on the IC chip and the wireless identification antenna conductor increases, and there may be: IC The circuit inside the chip is short-circuited, the identification data stored inside disappears due to the deterioration of the IC chip, and the IC chip, the wireless identification antenna conductor, and the joint between the IC chip and the wireless identification antenna conductor are damaged. In addition, when the belt-shaped sheet member protruding from the information identification part including the antenna conductor and IC chip is conveyed by rollers, it may occur that the transmission becomes unstable due to the influence of the protruding part and inclination occurs. During the printing process of strip-shaped sheet parts, the conveying speed changes between the front and back of the protruding part, causing problems such as bleeding and misalignment in printing.

Therefore, in view of the above problems, the first object of the present invention is to prevent damage to the internal IC chip and the like when producing a wireless identification label used in data processing by wireless, and to keep printing to the wireless identification label in good condition. The state of the image on the label. In addition, in connection with the storage of the sheet member for the wireless identification tag, the second object of the present invention is to prevent damage, and to store the sheet member for the wireless identification tag in the wireless identification tag manufacturing apparatus more effectively. Holds sheet parts for wireless identification tags. Furthermore, a third object of the present invention is to provide a sheet member for a wireless identification tag capable of reducing the overall size of the above-mentioned wireless identification tag member, which is advantageous in terms of space. In addition, the fourth object of the present invention is to provide an IC chip without the risk of short circuit in the IC chip, identification data disappearance or damage caused by deterioration of the IC chip, or without the combination of the wireless identification antenna conductor itself or the IC chip and the wireless identification antenna conductor. A wireless identification tag making device and box with a risk of internal damage.

The control device 6 is composed of a CPU 40, an input/output interface 44 connected to the CPU 40 via a bus 45 such as a data bus, a character generator ROM for display (CGROM for display) 41, and a character generator ROM for printing (CGROM for printing) 42 , ROM 43 and RAM 50 constitute. The CGROM 41 for display stores dot pattern data for display of a predetermined character size for a plurality of characters such as alphabetic characters and symbols. In the CGROM 42 for printing, dot pattern data for printing corresponds to code data in various formats for a plurality of characters such as alphabetic characters and symbols, and parts of a plurality of printing character sizes are stored.

In the input and output interface 44 of the control device 6 are respectively connected: a keyboard 3, a box sensor 30, a display controller 32 with a video RAM (VRAM) 31 for outputting display data to the display 4, and a display controller 32 for driving a thermal head. 19 drive circuit 35, and a drive circuit 37 for driving the tape feed motor 36.

The following programs are stored in the ROM 43 of the control device 6: corresponding to the code data of characters such as letters, numbers, and symbols input from the keyboard 3, the display driver control program for controlling the display controller 32; The graphic data is sequentially transmitted to the thermal head 19, the tape feeding motor 36 and the printing driver control program for printing; text input control, stereotyped label production control, label name selection control, stereotyped label data input control, text registration control, and barcode production control etc. control program.

The CPU 40 sequentially reads data from various CGROMs 41, 42 based on the input from the keyboard 3, the detection of the type of the cartridge 10 by the cartridge sensor 30, and the control program stored in the ROM 43, and displays images on the display 4 , and the driving of the tape feeding motor and the control of the thermal head 19 are carried out via the driving circuits 35 and 37.

Next, the laminated structure of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 housed in the cassette 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 . 4 and 5 are schematic side sectional views showing the strip-shaped sheet member 16, that is, a longitudinal sectional view along the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 and passing through the central portion of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 in the width direction. 4 and FIG. 5(A) enlarge and display a belt-shaped sheet member 16 or a wireless identification tag 70 in the thickness direction, and FIG. The display is enlarged in the radial direction of the drum.

As shown in FIG. 4(A), the belt-shaped sheet member 16 is laminated with the following four layers in sequence: a peeling member 62 such as silicon-coated paper or silicon-impregnated paper, a first adhesive layer 60A, and an opaque material such as a colored resin sheet. The base tape 61 and the second adhesive layer 60B. Furthermore, between the first adhesive layer 60A and the base tape 61 are interposed an antenna conductor 63 serving as an electromagnetic induction type wireless identification tag and an IC (RFID) chip 64 connected thereto. Therefore, the thickness of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is locally increased only at the portion where the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 are sandwiched, and convex portions 65A, 65B are formed on the upper and lower surfaces, respectively. In the longitudinal cross-sectional views of the belt-shaped sheet member 16 shown in FIG. 4(B) and later, the protrusions 65A, 65B are omitted from the belt-shaped sheet member 16 for the sake of simplification. Even if the protrusions 65A, 65B are formed, it does not affect the joining of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 and the lamination tape 11 .

In addition, the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 are electrically connected through a connection portion not shown so as to perform a predetermined wireless identification function. In addition, in the strip-shaped sheet member 16, as shown in FIG. 63 and IC chip 64.

Next, when bonding the laminated tape 11 to the strip-shaped sheet member 16, as shown in FIG. 66 The laminated tape 11 and the second adhesive layer 60B formed with images such as symbols are matched in the width direction through the guide wall 28C and the like, and are joined to each other by being pinched by a pair of tape feed rollers 18 and sub rollers 21 . FIG. 4(C) shows a wireless identification tag 70 in which the laminated tape 11 and the second adhesive layer 60B are bonded in this way. In this state, the surface of the laminated tape 11 to which the ink 66 is attached is covered by the laminated tape 11 and is located on the inner layer of the wireless identification tag 70 , so it is not directly contacted from the outside.

In the case 10, the belt-shaped sheet member 16 configured as above is wound into a roll and accommodated, and the state is schematically shown as shown in FIG. 5(B). In this state, the strip-shaped sheet members 16 are stacked several times. Silicone treatment is performed on both surfaces of the peeling member 62 so that even if they are overlapped in this way, the strip-shaped sheet member 16 can be pulled out appropriately as shown in FIG. 6 . As shown in FIG. 5(B), when the belt-shaped thin sheet members 16 that are wound into a roll shape and overlap each other are pulled out from one end, while being pulled out sequentially, the second adhesive layer 60B can be easily removed from the The second adhesive layer 60B is peeled off from the peeling member 62 of the other strip-shaped sheet member 16 adjacent in the thickness direction, and then the second adhesive layer 60B is bonded to the reverse side of the laminated tape 11 to form the wireless identification tag 70 .

Then, when attaching the wireless identification tag 70 to a product or the like, the peeling member 62 is peeled off, and the adhesive force of the first adhesive layer 60A is used for attachment. In the wireless identification tag 70 attached to a product, the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 cannot be recognized due to the opaque substrate tape 61 that is colored or the like, and the image formed by the ink 66 is easy to see.

As described above, silicon treatment is performed on both surfaces of the peeling member 62, and the adhesive force between the first adhesive layer 60A and the base tape 61 is set to be higher than that of the peeling member 62 and the first adhesive layer 60A. The force is strong enough so that the separation of the first adhesive layer 60A and the base material tape 61 does not occur when the release member 62 is separated. And, the adhesive force between the release member 62 and the first adhesive layer 60A is set so that the adhesive force between the second adhesive layer 60B and the release member 62 is set so that when the tape-shaped sheet member 16 in the wound state is pulled out, Separation of the peeling member 62 and the first adhesive layer 60A does not occur. In addition, when the belt-shaped sheet members 16 are wound, adjacent belt-shaped sheet members 16 may be tightly bonded by applying pressure, or may be tightly bonded by the own weight of the belt-shaped sheet members 16 .

The wireless identification tag 70 manufactured in this way is placed on the outside of the case 10 in the unit shown in FIG. The dashed-dotted line parts are sequentially separated to be usable as individual wireless identification tags 70 (see FIG. 4(C) ).

As described above, in the wireless identification tag production apparatus 1 of this embodiment, before the lamination tape 11 and the strip-shaped sheet member 16 are bonded, an image is formed on the lamination tape 11 not including the IC chip 64, and When the image is formed on the tape 11, in order to maintain the quality of the formed image, the image is formed on the reverse side of the side of the laminated tape 11 that is bonded to the tape-shaped sheet member 16, so that the internal IC chip 64 and the like can be prevented from being damaged. , and keeps images printed on wireless identification tags in good condition.

In addition, in the wireless identification tag manufacturing apparatus 1 of this embodiment, there are tape feed rollers 18 and sub-rollers 21 that sandwich the lamination tape 11 and the strip-shaped sheet member 16, and the lamination tape 11 and the tape are laminated by the rotation of these rollers. The shape sheet members 16 are joined to each other while being conveyed, so they are joined sequentially from the ends of the label substrates, so air can be prevented from being trapped in the wireless identification tag 70 and spoiling the view.

In addition, in the wireless identification label manufacturing apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the laminated tape 11 and the strip-shaped sheet member 16 are joined to the tape feed roller 18 and the sub-roll 21, so it is not necessary to newly install the conveying roller for conveying each label base material. etc., the structure can be simplified, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

And in the present embodiment, since the tape reel 12, the supply reel 17, the guide roller 28A, the guide walls 28B, 28C, and one of the two rollers 18, 21 constituting the joint unit are provided on a freely detachable Therefore, the user of the wireless identification tag manufacturing device 1 can easily perform the work of replacing or filling each tag member held in each holding part.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the surface on which the image of the laminated tape 11 is formed is exposed during the period from when the image is formed on the reverse side of the laminated tape 11 to when the laminated tape 11 is joined to the strip-shaped sheet member 16. However, since the conveying parts, such as the guide roller 28A, guide walls 28B, 28C, etc., do not touch within the area where the image is formed on the laminated belt 11, the formed image can be maintained in a relatively good state.

In addition, by using the cassette 10 of this embodiment, each label base material can be easily transported. Since an image is formed on the reverse side of the label, the internal IC chip 64 and the like can not be damaged, and the image printed on the wireless identification tag 70 can be kept in good condition. In particular, when the barcode is formed with the ink 66, the image will not be distorted, and the reading will not be affected.

In addition, if the wireless identification tag manufacturing apparatus 1 of this embodiment is used, the operation can be easily stopped when each wireless identification tag 70 is manufactured, so that each wireless identification tag 70 with a different image can be easily manufactured.

And, if it is the wireless identification tag 70 of this embodiment, image formation is performed on the surface of the side of the laminated tape 11 connected to the strip-shaped sheet member 16, and the image formation surface is not directly contacted from the outside, so the formed image can be protected. The image will not be wiped, etc., which can keep the image in good condition.

In addition, in the wireless identification tag 70 of the present embodiment, since the base tape 61 is opaque, recognition of the image formed by the ink 66 by the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 is not hindered. Especially in barcodes, the reading accuracy will not be adversely affected.

And, in the belt-shaped sheet member 16 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. The second adhesive layer 60B of the sheet member 16 contacts and is entangled with each other so as to be bonded, and the belt-shaped sheet members 16 in the wound state do not deviate from each other in the width direction, thereby preventing friction when the belt-shaped sheet member 16 is loose. The resulting loss and the damage to the IC chip 64 due to the generation of static electricity.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5(B), the wound strip-shaped sheet members 16 are tightly bonded to each other in a compressed state. 1, the size can be reduced, and the strip-shaped sheet member 16 can be accommodated more efficiently.

In addition, in this embodiment, a plurality of antenna conductors 63 and IC chips 64 are arranged and wound on the first adhesive layer 60A, so that a plurality of wireless identification tags 70 can be sequentially produced with one strip-shaped sheet member 16. .

Moreover, in this embodiment, since the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 are disposed between the first adhesive layer 60A and the second adhesive layer 60B, the antenna conductor 63 can be protected by the respective adhesive layers 60A and 60B. And the IC chip 64 is protected from external forces such as impact force.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the base material tape 61 harder than the adhesive layers 60A and 60B is provided between the first adhesive layer 60A and the second adhesive layer 60B, even the belt-shaped sheet member 16 Its shape is not easy to change even when external force such as compression is applied.

In addition, in this embodiment, the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 are disposed between the opaque base tape 61 and the first adhesive layer 60A, so the image is pasted on the second adhesive layer 60B side. When the laminated tape 11 is formed, the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 cannot be seen, and the visibility of the image formed on the laminated tape 11 can be improved. In particular, when a barcode is formed with the ink 66, the barcode image overlaps with the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64, and it is possible to prevent barcode reading errors well.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the first adhesive layer 60A is used to fix the belt-shaped sheet member 16 to other articles such as commodities, and the second adhesive layer 60B is used to secure the belt-shaped sheet member 16 and the belt-shaped sheet member 16 to the belt-shaped sheet member. The sheet-like parts with the same width of the parts 16 are matched and joined in the width direction. When the strip-shaped sheet parts 16 are fixed to other articles, only the peeling part 62 is separated from the strip-shaped sheet parts 16, so that the tape-shaped sheet parts 16 can be prevented from being separated. When the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is damaged, when the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is stored in the wireless identification tag making device 1, the strip-shaped sheet member can be more effectively accommodated and can be securely fixed to other articles.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is housed in the case 10 that can be attached to the wireless identification tag manufacturing apparatus 1, when the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is housed in the wireless identification tag manufacturing apparatus 1, the In order to accommodate the belt-shaped sheet member 16 efficiently, the size of the housing portion of the cassette 10 that can be attached to the image forming apparatus for accommodating the belt-shaped sheet member 16 can be reduced.

(second embodiment)

Next, other embodiments of the present invention will be described. In addition, in the following description, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same parts as those of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 7(A) is a side sectional view of a wireless identification tag 70 using a laminated tape 11 of another form. The wireless identification tag 70 shown in FIG. 7 differs from the wireless identification tag 70 described above (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 ) only in the laminated tape 11 used to manufacture the wireless identification tag 70 .

The laminated tape 11 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 7(A) is not a simple transparent film, but contains a coupler prepared in such a manner that the surface on the side to which the tape-shaped sheet member 16 is bonded is heated by local heating. It is partly colored and has a heat-sensitive layer 11A, so that the part is colored in a preset color, such as black and blue.

The laminated tape 11 constituted in this way is pulled out from the box 10, and when the heat-sensitive layer 11A of the laminated tape 11 is heated by the thermal head 19 on its conveying path, the heated part is partially colored and becomes Coloring section 67 . And, by joining the strip-shaped sheet member 16 in this state, the wireless identification tag 70 shown in FIG. 7(A) can be obtained.

When using the laminated tape 11 having this heat-sensitive layer 11A, it is not necessary to arrange the ribbon 13, the ribbon reel 14 for winding the ribbon 13, and the ribbon winding reel 15 in the cassette 10, so the installation of the cassette 10 can be simplified. structure. Also, a mechanism for rotationally driving the ribbon winding spool 15 is not required.

The wireless identification tag 70 of FIG. 7(A) using the laminated tape 11 having the above-mentioned heat sensitive layer 11A can also obtain the same function as the wireless identification tag 70 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 . Since the heat sensitive layer 11A is located inside the wireless identification tag 70, even if the surface of the wireless identification tag 70 is wiped unintentionally, coloration of the heat sensitive layer 11A due to its frictional heat can be prevented.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the adhesive layer 60B for pasting the lamination tape 11 and the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is formed in advance on the base tape 61, as long as the adhesive layer 60B is pre-applied to the lamination tape before pasting. 11 and at least one of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is sufficient.

And, as long as the image formed by the ink 66, the antenna conductor 63, and the IC chip 64 are not damaged, an adhesive layer or an adhesive may not be used. Melt so that they can be deposited on each other. In addition, a welding member other than the lamination tape 11 and the belt-shaped sheet member may be added therebetween, and the welding member may be melted and welded.

In addition, the "matching in the width direction" described in the technical solution 3 refers to aligning the widths when the first label base material and the second label base material are of the same width, and aligning the widths when they are not the same width so that at least The narrower label base material does not protrude from the wider label base material. This point is also the same in technical solution 7.

In addition, in this embodiment, the lamination tape 11 and the belt-shaped sheet member 16 use devices with the same width, but they are not limited to devices with the same width, and devices with different widths may also be used. When the lamination tape 11 and the tape When the widths of the thin sheet members 16 are different, they should be aligned so that at least the tape with the smaller width does not protrude from the tape with the larger width.

In addition, the laminated tape 11 and the belt-shaped sheet member 16 may be offset in the width direction as long as image formation and conveyance of the RFID tags 70 and the like are not hindered. That is, the laminated tape 11 and the belt-shaped sheet member 16 need only be in a desired positional relationship for desired bonding.

In addition, the "range where an image can be formed" described in claim 6 means that the laminated tape (first label base material ) 11 on the side opposite to the strip-shaped sheet member 16 (second label base material) 16 may not necessarily be able to form an image in all areas, so when not all areas of the surface can form an image, in In the region where an image cannot be formed on this surface, there is no problem in contacting the transport path forming unit. For example, in this embodiment, the guide rollers 28A and the guide walls 28B and 28C provided on the cassette 10 are configured so as not to contact the image forming surface of the laminated tape 11 after image formation, but even if the image on the laminated tape 11 On the forming surface, also in the area where no image is formed, members for conveyance (guide rollers 28A, guide walls 28B, 28C, etc.) can be brought into contact to further stabilize the running of the belt.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the manufactured wireless identification tag 70 is configured as an electromagnetic induction type wireless identification tag 70 by having the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 in the strip-shaped sheet member 16, but it is not limited thereto. The structure may be configured, for example, as an electrostatic coupling type, UHF type, or electromagnetic coupling type wireless identification tag 70, or may be configured as a microwave type wireless identification tag 70 having an antenna conductor 63 and a reflection circuit. Furthermore, the antenna conductor 63 may also be formed by printing. Furthermore, the vertical relationship between the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 may be reversed.

Also, in the cassette 10 of the above-described embodiment, as members supporting the laminated tape 11 and the strip-shaped sheet member 16, the tape reel 12 and the supply reel 17 serving as a winding core are used, so that each tape is held by it, but The structure is not limited to this, and each tape may be held by a wall surface or the like that defines the outer shapes of the laminated tape 11 and the strip-shaped sheet member 16 .

Further, the laminated tape 11 and the strip-shaped sheet member 16, as shown in FIG. 6, do not need to be recycled into the box 10 in the wound state, for example, as shown in the solid line part of FIG. A plurality of thin rectangular strips of one IC chip 64 may be accommodated in a stacked state.

In addition, when the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 are very thin, since the protrusions 65A, 65B are basically not formed, the influence on printing is small, but the heat generated by the thermal head 19 and the heat generated by the thermal head 19 There is a danger of damage to the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 due to the pressure generated by the clamping with the pressure plate. In this case, the application of the present invention can prevent the damage.

Also, the wireless identification tag 70 having both the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 is manufactured, but it is also possible to manufacture a tag having either the antenna conductor 63 or the IC chip, and then add the other.

7(B) is a side sectional view of the sheet member 16 of the wireless identification tag 70 using the laminated tape 11. As shown in FIG. The sheet member 16 shown in FIG. 7(B) differs from the wireless identification tag 70 described above (see FIGS. 4 and 5 ) only in that it is embedded between the base tape 61 and the first adhesive layer 60A. The upper and lower positions of the IC chip 64 and the antenna conductor 63 are reversed.

In the strip-shaped sheet member 16 shown in FIG. 8(A), the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 are arranged between the base tape 61 and the second adhesive layer 60B.

In addition, in the strip-shaped sheet member 16 shown in FIG. 8(B), the IC chip 64 is arranged on the opposite side of the antenna conductor 63 with respect to the strip-shaped sheet member 16 shown in FIG. 8(A).

The belt-shaped sheet 16 shown in FIG. 9(A) does not have a substrate tape 61, and is composed of three layers of a peeling member 62, a first adhesive layer 60A, and a second adhesive layer 60B. The antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 are arranged between the second adhesive layers 60B.

In addition, in the strip-shaped sheet member 16 shown in FIG. 9(B), the IC chip 64 is arranged on the opposite side of the antenna conductor 63 with respect to the strip-shaped sheet member 16 shown in FIG. 9(A).

The strip-shaped sheet member 16 shown in FIG. 10 consists only of the peeling member 62 and the adhesive layer 60. In particular, in the strip-shaped sheet member 16 shown in FIG. Between them, the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 are disposed so that the IC chip 64 is located on the side of the adhesive layer 60 .

Furthermore, in the strip-shaped sheet member 16 shown in FIG. 10(B), the IC chip 64 is arranged on the opposite side of the antenna conductor 63 with respect to the strip-shaped sheet member shown in FIG. 10(A).

Further, in the strip-shaped sheet member 16 shown in FIG. 10(C), the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 are arranged on the surface of the adhesive layer 60 opposite to the peeling member 62 so that the IC chip 64 is positioned opposite to the peeling member 62. The opposite side of the peel member 62 .

And, the belt-shaped sheet member 16 shown in FIG. 10(D) . The IC chip 64 is arranged on the opposite side of the antenna conductor 63 with respect to the strip-shaped sheet member 16 shown in FIG. 10(C).

The same wireless identification tag 70 as the above-mentioned wireless identification tag 70 can also be produced by using the strip-shaped sheet member 16 shown above.

In addition, in the strip-shaped sheet member 16, the antenna conductor 63 and the IC chip 64 may partially cover the second adhesive layer 60B.

In addition, in this embodiment, the tape-shaped sheet member 16 is housed in the case 10 installed in the wireless identification tag manufacturing apparatus 1. When the tape-shaped sheet member 16 is used up, the user can replenish the tape-shaped sheet by replacing the case 10. Parts 16 also need not have such a structure. For example, the structure can also be that: the strip-shaped sheet component 16 is stored in a position where the user of the wireless identification tag making device 1 cannot reach; or when the strip-shaped sheet component 16 is used up, In this case, the belt-shaped sheet member 16 is supplemented by specialized practitioners or the like.

And, in above-mentioned embodiment, have made the wireless identification label 70 that has both antenna conductor 63 and IC chip 64, also can make the label that only has any one in antenna conductor 63 or IC chip 64, add another label afterwards. one. Furthermore, the wireless identification tag manufacturing apparatus 1 may be configured such that data is written or read from the IC chip 64 by the reader/writer V at the same time as image formation, or before and after image formation. Further, pre-written data can also be read out.

In this case, wear caused by friction when the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is dislocated and damage to the strip-shaped sheet member 16 caused by static electricity generation can be prevented. When the device 1 is used, the belt-shaped sheet member 16 can be accommodated more effectively.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the belt-shaped sheet member 16 is housed in the box 10 installed in the wireless identification tag making device 1, which is not necessary, and the belt-shaped sheet member can also be stored in: write the identification data into The identification data writing device of the IC chip 64 and the cartridge 10 of the device can be mounted. In this case, the accommodation portion for accommodating the strip-shaped sheet member 16 can be reduced.

And, the peeling member 62 has a structure that can be peeled from the first adhesive member 60A, so the second adhesive layer 60B and the laminated tape 11 are not bonded, but only the peeling member 62 is separated from the belt-shaped sheet member 16, the second The adhesive layer 60B is exposed, and the tape-shaped sheet member 16 can be used as a double-sided tape. When the tape-shaped sheet member 16 is pasted on the article, other adhesives, etc., can not be applied to the tape-shaped sheet member 16 or the article. The strip-shaped sheet member 16 is bonded to the sandwiched article.

In addition, in the sheet member 16 for the wireless identification tag, the information identification portion may partially cover the adhesive layer, and this sheet member for the wireless identification tag can also achieve the same effect as the above-mentioned sheet member for the wireless identification tag. .

(third embodiment)

FIG. 11 shows a case in which a square or rectangular sheet member 16 or a wireless identification tag 70 is housed in a box P as a package shown by a dashed line for single-item sales of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 . At this time, each tape is peeled off one by one and conveyed, and the wireless identification tag 70 is manufactured sequentially. Even in this case, the image printed on the wireless identification tag 70 can be kept in good condition without damaging the IC chip 64 and the like inside the wireless identification tag 70 .

In addition, in the thickness direction, between the adjacent sheet members 16 or RFID tags 70, the IC chips 64 are staggered and arranged in the plane direction, so that the box P can be reduced in size, or it can be accommodated in boxes P of the same size. There are many sheet members 16 or wireless identification tags 70 .

(fourth embodiment)

12( a ) is a diagram for explaining details of a belt-shaped sheet member 16 according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view in the thickness direction, that is, in the radial direction of the roll, when it is wound into a roll and stacked. In Fig. 12 (a), on the tape-shaped substrate strip 61, the RFID chip 64 as the wireless identification element and the elongated antenna conductor 63 parallel to the length direction of the substrate strip 61 are used as a tag unit is placed, and the peeling member 62 is bonded from above by the first adhesive layer 60A, thereby being embedded in the strip-shaped substrate tape 61, thereby forming a label 68 having an information identification part 69, which is composed of an antenna conductor 63 and RFID chip 64, and functions as a responder. The strip-shaped sheet member 16 is formed by connecting the labels 68 in a long strip.

In addition, the RFID chip 64 and the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 are connected to each other through a joint not shown, and the information identification unit 69 performs a predetermined wireless identification function.

A plurality of labels 68 having the information identification portion 69 are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the base tape 61, and are integrally formed as the sheet member 16 as a tape-shaped label assembly.

In addition, silicon treatment is performed on both sides of the peeling member 62, so that it can be separated from the second adhesive layer 60B of the adjacent layer, and the peeling member 62 can also be separated from the first adhesive layer 60A of the same layer, and can be separated from the wound adhesive layer 60A. In this state, the strip-shaped sheet member 16 can be properly pulled out from one end thereof.

The information identification part 69 in the label 68 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the stretched strip-shaped sheet member 16, that is, in the left-right direction of FIG. , 69c, in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16, that is, in the width direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16, that is, in the up-down direction of FIG. That is, by disposing them at different positions in the width direction, the information recognition portion 69 is dispersed in the width direction. The adjacent information identification parts 69a, 69b, 69c are arranged in a shifted direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16 in the state of being unfolded on one surface, so that when the belt-shaped sheet member 16 is wound into In the case of a roll, or when the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is cut at the single-dot chain line for each label 68 to form each rectangular RFID tag substrate and the RFID tags are stacked, the adjacent information in the thickness direction The identification part 69, especially the thicker RFID chip 64, overlaps less in the direction R which is one direction of the winding radius direction, and the overlapping direction, so it is not necessary to form information identification from the strip-shaped sheet member 16 which becomes a roll shape. Part 69 makes a part of the width direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 particularly protrude, so that the winding radius R can be minimized. more favorable.

This is because, in a cross section perpendicular to the axis X in the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16, even if there are a plurality of information identification portions 69, the information identification portions 69 are dispersed in the width direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16, and the strip-shaped The winding radius of the sheet member 16 is less likely to become large.

Furthermore, the first adhesive layer 60A and the second adhesive layer 60B have elasticity, and when the belt-shaped sheet member 16 is wound and pressed against the portion protruding from the information identification portion 69, they are compressed and the protrusion partly absorbed. That is, since the layers of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 are wound in close contact with each other, the dispersion in the width direction of the identification portion 69 is linked to the elasticity of the first adhesive layer 60A and the second adhesive layer 60B, and the winding radius is less likely to increase.

In addition, when the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is cut into the label 68 one by one as a rectangular or square wireless identification tag substrate, and the wireless identification tag is laminated, the information identification part 69 can be stacked in a state where The overall thickness of the laminated wireless identification tag components can be reduced.

In addition, the first adhesive layer 60A and the second adhesive layer 60B are not necessarily compressed. Furthermore, if a part of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is wound extremely protrudingly in the width direction, there is a danger of warping the label after it is produced, but this problem is also solved in this embodiment.

In the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 that is stretched, that is, unfolded, the information recognition portion 69 is arranged at predetermined intervals across the width direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 and its longitudinal direction, except for FIG. 12 ( In addition to the configuration graph shown in a), the graphs shown in Fig. 12(b) to Fig. 12(d) are also included.

First, in the arrangement pattern shown in FIG. 12( b ), the plurality of information identification parts 69 are arranged such that they gradually approach one side end of the stretched strip-shaped sheet member 16 as they advance in the longitudinal direction, and gradually keep away. The arrangement of the information identification part 69 is viewed from left to right in Fig. 12 (b). The portion 69 is arranged at a position in the width direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 closer to the lower end of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 than the information identification portion 69 located near the upper end. That is, when the belt-shaped sheet members 16 are sequentially arranged near any one side end of the belt-shaped sheet members 16, they are arranged in the width direction of the belt-shaped sheet members 16 such that they are sequentially approached from the next information identification part 69 The other side end of the sheet member 16 .

And, the disposition figure shown in Fig. 12 (c) is also the same as the figure shown in the above-mentioned Fig. 12 (b), when the information identification part 69 is disposed near the upper side end in the same figure of the belt-shaped sheet member 16 The next information identification part 69 is arranged at a position in the width direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 closer to the lower end than the information identification part 69 located near the upper end. However, when it is arranged near the upper end of one side in the same figure of the belt-shaped sheet member 16, the next information identification part 69 is arranged near the other lower end of the belt-shaped sheet member 16. The next information recognition portion 69 is again arranged so as to gradually approach one upper end of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 from the start.

And, in the layout pattern shown in FIG. 12( d), when it is arranged near the upper side end in the same figure of the strip-shaped sheet member 16, the next information identification part 69 is also arranged on the upper side thereof. In the vicinity of the end, further from the next information identification part 69, it is arranged so as to gradually approach the other lower end of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 in the figure.

Among the above-mentioned layout figures, the layout figure shown in FIG. 12(c) and FIG. 12(d) is compared with the layout figure shown in FIG. 12(b). It is dispersed as a whole, and the protruding parts formed by the information identification part 69 are less overlapped in the direction R of the winding radius.

(fifth embodiment)

Next, three modified examples of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 , 15 , and 16 .

In the belt-shaped sheet member 16 of FIG. 14 , a plurality of information identification parts 69 are arranged along the length direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16 developed, and in the belt-shaped sheet member 16 developed in the length direction, information identification The central axis W in the longitudinal direction of the portions 69a, 69b is a position not parallel to the axis X in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. Since they are arranged obliquely at the inclination angle E, they are provided non-parallel (intersecting) with respect to the axis X in the longitudinal direction.

When such an information identification part 69 is arranged, the protrusions formed by the information identification part 69 are less likely to overlap, and the strip-shaped sheet member 16 wound into a roll does not need to protrude a part of the width direction of the belt-shaped sheet part 16 for the information identification part 69. , so that the winding radius R can be minimized, and it is more advantageous in terms of space when the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is accommodated in at least one of the box 10, the wireless identification tag manufacturing device 1, and the box P as a package. In addition, the information identification part 69 may be shifted in the width direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16 like embodiment.

In the belt-shaped sheet member 16 of FIG. 15 , in the belt-shaped sheet member 16 developed in the longitudinal direction, a plurality of information identification parts 69 are arranged along the length direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16, and adjacent information identification parts 69a, 69b, that is, the central axes Wa, Wb extending in the longitudinal direction of the antenna conductor 63 are not parallel (intersecting) with respect to the axis X of the longitudinal direction (the left-right direction in FIG. And they are arranged in an axisymmetric state (angle Ea=angle Eb) with respect to the central axis Cab between the adjacent information identification parts 69a and 69b. Furthermore, the adjacent information identification parts 69b, 69c are also arranged in a state of being asymmetrical with respect to the axis in the longitudinal direction and axisymmetric with respect to the central axis between adjacent information identifications (angle Eb = angle Ec). .

In this way, by arranging the information recognition part 69, the protrusions formed by the information recognition part 69 are less likely to overlap, and the belt-shaped sheet member 16 wound into a roll does not have to protrude part of the width direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16 for the information recognition part 69. , so that the winding radius R can be minimized, and it is more advantageous in terms of space when the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is accommodated in at least one of the box 10, the wireless identification tag manufacturing device 1, and the box P as a package.

In the belt-shaped sheet member 16 of FIG. 16 , in the belt-shaped sheet member 16 developed in the longitudinal direction, a plurality of information identification parts 69 are arranged along the length direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16, and as in FIG. 15 , adjacent The RFID chips 64a, 64b are arranged so as to be offset in a direction perpendicular to the axis X (the left-right direction in FIG. 16 ) in the longitudinal direction of the sheet member 16, that is, in the width direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16, and to be substantially offset in the width direction. The central axes are different from each other. In this way, when the RFID chips 64 are staggered in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the sheet member 16, even if the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is wound into a roll, the overlapping of the RFID chips can be minimized, so there is no need to change the length of the strip from the strip. The sheet member 16 forms the information identification portion 69 so that a part of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 in the width direction protrudes as much as possible, so that the winding radius R can be reduced.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment and its modifications, the label 68 having the information identification portion 69 formed on the strip-shaped base tape 16 has been described, and the substantially rectangular shape shown by the dotted line in FIGS. 14 to 16 has been used. The same effect can also be obtained by replacing the strip-shaped substrate tape 61 with a label 68 of a predetermined size in the form of a release paper as the strip-shaped sheet member.

(sixth embodiment)

In FIG. 17 , an information identification portion 69 is embedded in a square holding sheet member 71 corresponding to the sheet member 16 of the wireless identification tag 70 described above. The holding sheet member 71 is housed in the box P in a state where a plurality, for example, four, are stacked in the vertical direction. Among these holding sheet members 71, opposing holding sheet members 71a, 71b are stacked such that the positions of these information identifying members 69 differ on a plane perpendicular to the stacking direction S (vertical direction in FIG. 17). The plane perpendicular to the stacking direction S is a plane perpendicular to the stacking direction S when the stacked holding sheet members 71a, 71b are viewed from the stacking direction S, and the plane formed by stacking the holding sheet members 71a, 71b.

When stacked in this way, each holding sheet member 71, since its information identification portion 69 is arranged at a diagonal, the protrusion formed by the information identification portion 69 is lightened in the overlapping direction S, so the overall thickness of the overlapping holding sheet member 71 is not large. Because of the protrusion of the information identification part 69, it becomes larger, which can save a lot of space.

In FIG. 18 , circular holding sheet members 72 are used instead of square holding sheet members 71 in FIG. 17 to be embedded in the information identification portion 69 . At this time, the information identification parts 69 of the opposing holding sheet members 72a, 72b are arranged in a state of being staggered by 90 degrees respectively. Like the modified example of FIG. It is different in the plane perpendicular to the overlapping direction S. Therefore, even when the circular holding sheet members 72 of this embodiment are stacked, the degree of overlapping of the information identification parts 69 in the stacking direction S is reduced, and the stacked holding sheet members due to the protrusions formed by the information identification parts 69 can be suppressed. The increase of the overall thickness of 72 can greatly save space.

In addition, in the circular holding sheet member 72 , the arrangement interval angle is not limited to 90 degrees, and can be appropriately changed to 30 degrees, 45 degrees, or 120 degrees according to the shape and size of the information identification part 69 .

In addition, in the holding sheet member 71 of FIG. 17 and the holding sheet member 72 of FIG. 18, a circular wireless identification antenna conductor 63 is used, and the elongated, elliptical, rectangular, and ratio shown in FIG. 12 can also be used. Figure 12 shows a variety of large devices instead. Furthermore, similarly, the square holding sheet member 71 or the circular holding sheet member 72 itself may be a rectangular or elliptical holding sheet member.

In any of the above configurations, the predetermined direction of the information recognition portion 69 overlaps less, so even if an excessive pressing force is applied from one direction, the information recognition portion 69 is less likely to be damaged by the pressing force.

Since the RFID chip 64 is thicker than the antenna conductor 63 formed by thin film metal or printing, the portion where the RFID chip 64 is embedded is mostly the apex of the protrusion in the strip-shaped sheet member 16, but as long as the RFID chip 64 and the antenna conductor 63 The planar parts are arranged in close contact to form the information identification part 69. The RFID chip 64 is not limited to be thicker than the antenna conductor 63, and the RFID chip 64 becomes the apex of the protruding part of the strip-shaped sheet member 16. That is, in the belt-shaped sheet member 16 and the holding sheets 31 and 32 of the embodiment and the third to fifth modifications, among the members constituting the information recognition portion 69, the vertex of the protruding portion originating from the presence of the RFID chip 64 Properly dispersed in the width direction and azimuth, the band-shaped sheet member 16 and the holding sheets 31 and 32 are formed so that the overlapping of the protruding portions formed by the RFID chips 64 is small in the winding radial direction and stacking direction.

14 and 15, the RFID chips 64 are arranged in a row in the longitudinal direction of the unfolded strip-shaped sheet member 16, and among the members constituting the information identification unit 69, the antenna conductor 63 The existing protrusions are appropriately dispersed when the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is wound to form the strip-shaped sheet member 16 . That is, compared with the existing configuration pattern shown in FIG. 19 , that is, the arrangement direction of the existing information identification parts 270 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 160 and the longitudinal direction of the information identification parts 270. The sheet member 16 is configured by intersecting the antenna conductor 63 in the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 so that the overlapping of protrusions formed by the antenna conductor 63 in the rotation direction R is reduced.

In the prior art, when making the above-mentioned wireless identification tag components, as shown in FIG. Arranged in a line, the structure is such that the information identification part 270 is sandwiched from both sides, embedded therein, and printed directly on the surface of the strip-shaped sheet member 160 . In order to store a large amount of the strip-shaped sheet member 160 , when the strip-shaped sheet member 160 is wound, the information identification portion 270 having a certain thickness is embedded in the strip-shaped sheet member 160 , so that the surface of the strip-shaped sheet member 160 protrudes locally. When the strip-shaped sheet member 160 is wound, between layers in the winding radial direction adjacent to the thickness direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 160, for example, the outer peripheral first layer portion 160a and the outer peripheral second layer portion 160a shown in FIG. A gap is formed between the two-layer portions 160b, and between the outer peripheral first layer portion 160a and the outer peripheral second layer portion 160b. Therefore, compared with the case where the information identification part 270 is fitted into the belt-shaped sheet member 160, the belt-shaped sheet member 160 to be wound becomes larger as a whole, and the winding radius also becomes larger as a whole. Especially when the tape-shaped sheet member 160 is wound, when the information identification part 270 embedded in the adjacent layer, especially the RFID chip 250 is in a relative position, it is not opposite to the wound tape-shaped sheet member 160 as a whole. position becomes larger.

In the configuration in which the information identification parts 270 are arranged in a straight line, the information identification parts 270 are concentrated at a specific position in the width direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 160, and the protrusions of other layers overlap the protrusions. Therefore, even if fastening is performed so that the gap between the layers of the strip-shaped sheet member 160 disappears, only the periphery of the information identification portion 270 is tightened, and the specific portion in the width direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 160 where the information identification portion 270 is concentrated Still protruding, the winding radius of this particular part is hardly reduced. And, the planar shape of the label base material embedded in the information identification part 270 is not a long shape such as a strip, but a shape such as a rectangle, a square, or a circle, and the label base material is stored in large quantities, so when overlapping the label base material When , compared with when the information identification part 270 is embedded in the label base material, the whole of the overlapped label base material becomes thicker (larger) in the overlapping direction. Therefore, in the prior art, there is a problem that a lot of space is required for storing and accommodating the wireless identification tag having the information identification part and the strip-shaped sheet member used as the material in a case or the like.

(seventh embodiment)

FIG. 20 and the following are examples for explaining an example in which damage to the information recognition portion 69 of the belt-shaped sheet member 16 can be reliably prevented.

In Fig. 20, in the tape-shaped base material band 61, the RFID chip 64 as the wireless identification element and the strip-shaped wireless identification antenna conductor 63 are embedded as a label unit, through the dotted line shown in Fig. 20 A part is cut to form a label 68 having an information identification portion 69 . A plurality of labels 68 having the information identification portion 69 may be formed in the longitudinal direction of the base tape 61, that is, in the left-right direction of FIG.

Further, in the wireless identification tag production device 1, when the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is wound into a roll and used, due to the thickness of the RFID chip 64 and the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 in the information identification part 69, the strip-shaped sheet member 16 A part of it protrudes to form a protruding portion, and as shown in FIG. A plurality of ring-shaped recessed grooves of the pressing force absorbing unit that absorbs the pressing force on the information identification part 69 is partially reduced, that is, two recesses 18a, 18b are formed in the second embodiment.

The width of the recesses 18a, 18b, that is, the width of the annular concave groove is formed wider than the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the information identification part 69 and the width in the vertical direction of FIG. 20 . Alternatively, when the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 is formed as a thin film by printing, the recesses 18a, 18b may be formed smaller than the width of the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 if the width is larger than that of the RFID chip 64 .

If the tape feed roller 18 with recesses 18a, 18b formed on the surface of the drum is used, when the tape-shaped sheet member 16 is conveyed, when it is sandwiched between the tape feed roller 18 and the conveyance roller 21, it is inserted into the tape-shaped sheet member 16. The excessive pressing force of the information storage part 69 is absorbed, and the identification data as information disappears due to the deterioration caused by the excessive pressing force on the RFID chip 64, and the damage of the information identification part 69 can be reliably prevented.

In addition, it can prevent the combination of the RFID chip 64 and the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 from being damaged due to the pressure on the information identification part 69, causing the information identification part 69 to fail to perform the specified wireless identification function.

In addition, the recessed parts 18a and 18b can be formed with a depth corresponding to the protruding height formed by the thickness of the RFID chip 64 and the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 of each information identification part 69 . That is, the roll surface that is the bottom of the recesses 18a, 18b is formed with a width and a depth that do not generate excessive pressing force on the information recognition portion 69 . The amount of depression of recessed portion 18a, 18b also can be the structure that information recognition part 69 and roll face disengage, to not produce pressing force to information recognition part 69, and, also can make information recognition part 69 and roll face contact, to apply to make information recognition. Part 69 does not generate damage or deterioration of the pressing force. This is because the bonding of the laminated tape 11 and the strip-shaped sheet member 16 can be properly performed by applying a pressing force to the extent that the information identification part 69 is not damaged or deteriorated, or because the information identification part 69 and the roll surface The detached structure increases the contact surface, so that the lamination tape 11 and the strip-shaped sheet member 16 can be conveyed satisfactorily. And, in the information identification part 69, in many cases, the RFID chip 64 is thicker than the wireless identification antenna conductor 63, and the RFID chip 64 is a shape protruding to the tape feed roller 18 side than the wireless identification antenna conductor 63, so as long as the corresponding RFID chip 64, it is sufficient to form the concave portion evenly. However, when the RFID chip is surrounded by the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 that is thicker than the RFID chip 64 or protrudes toward the tape feed roller 18, the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 protrudes toward the tape feed roller 18 side than the RFID chip 64, so as long as the corresponding The wireless identification antenna conductor 63 should just form an average concave part. That is, a concave portion is formed corresponding to the most protruding portion with respect to the tape feed roller 18 . And, when the RFID chip is surrounded by the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 that is thicker than the RFID chip 64 or protrudes to the tape feed roller 18, since the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 is closer to the tape feed roller 18 side than the RFID chip 64, as long as it corresponds to The wireless identification antenna conductor 63 is only required to form an average concave portion, and does not need to be formed in two stages.

In addition, the embedding position of the information identification part 69 in FIG. 20 and the formation position of the plurality of recessed parts 18a, 18b in FIG. 21 may be arbitrarily set at the same position.

And, the concave portion 18a is shown by the dashed line in FIG. As shown by the line, the lower side of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 in this figure faces the information identification portion 69b continuously arranged along the longitudinal direction thereof. As described above, in order to form different positions in the width direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16, that is, in the direction of the rotation axis of the feed roller 18 for conveying the belt-shaped sheet member 16, and to separate from each other in the width direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16, , and a plurality of rows along the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16, for example, the row formed by the information identification part 69a shown by the dotted line in FIG. Even if a plurality of information identification parts 69 are embedded in the belt-shaped sheet member 69 for the two columns formed by the formed columns, as long as the embedding position of the information identification part 69 corresponding to the width direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16, the other The number in the width direction, that is, the number of rows along the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 ("2" in FIG. When it is provided in the width direction, it is possible to absorb the pressing force applied to the information recognition portion 69 fitted in a plurality of positions separated in the width direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16 .

For example, in FIG. 20, the row of the information recognition part 69a shown by the dotted line and the row of the information recognition part 69b shown by the dashed line in the same figure are two rows in the width direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16. Detached and set on the belt-shaped sheet member 16, when the two columns of information identification parts 69a, 69b pass between the tape feed roller 18 and the conveying roller 21 at the same time, the belt-shaped corresponding to the two columns of information identification parts 69a, 69b In the position of the width direction of the sheet member 16, two (two) recesses 18a, 1gb are formed on the entire circumference of the tape feed roller 18, and can also simultaneously absorb excessive force applied to any one of the two columns of information identification parts 69a, 69b. pushing force. And, when these two columns of information identification parts 69a, 69b do not pass between the tape feed roller 18 and the transport roller 21 at the same time, but pass through with a time difference, the information identification parts 69a, 69b are arranged in a zigzag form on the belt-shaped In the longitudinal direction of the sheet member 16, as long as the tape feed roller 18 can appropriately absorb excessive pressing force applied to either of the information recognition parts 69a, 69b. When the insertion position of the information recognition portion 69 is replaced with a belt-shaped sheet member 16 having a different position in the width direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16, the tape is fed to the position of the information recognition portion 69 of the replaced belt-shaped sheet member 16. The roller 18 also forms a corresponding concave portion, and the tape feeding roller 18 does not need to be replaced, which can reduce the number of steps.

Further, when the information identifying portion 69 passes between the tape feed roller 18 and the conveying roller 21, as long as the information identifying portion 69 is opposite only in a specific portion within the circumference of the tape feed roller 18, the concave portions 18a, 18b may not It is formed on the entire circumference of the tape feed roller 18 . On the other hand, when formed on the entire circumference, when a conveyance error occurs in the belt-shaped sheet member 16, and when the arrangement interval of the information identification part 69 in the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16 is not fixed, it can appropriately absorb the influence applied to the information identification. Excessive pushing force of part 69. In addition, the number of the plurality of columns along the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is not limited to "2", and may be plural.

(eighth embodiment)

Next, a tape feed roller 80 as a feed roller of another embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 22 .

In FIG. 22, at the position of the tape feed roller 80 facing the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 (refer to FIG. 23) arranged along the longitudinal direction at the center in the width direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16, the tape is partially reduced. A first recess 80a is formed in diameter, and a second recess 80b deeper than the first recess 80a is formed by further partially reducing the diameter at a position facing the RFID chip 64 of the tape feed roller 80 . In other words, two recesses 80 a are formed on the tape feed roller 80 away from the width direction of the belt-shaped sheet member 16 , that is, in the axial direction of the tape feed roller 80 , and between the two recesses 80 a is formed a ratio of the recess 80 a to communicate with the recess 80 a. The concave portion 80b with a larger (deep) depression amount of the concave portion 80a corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the information identification portion 69 (the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16) and constitutes a two-stage concave portion. The recesses 80a, 80b also constitute a plurality of recesses described in the present invention. Alternatively, a concave portion 80a is formed on the tape feed roller 80, and a concave portion 80b is formed in the center of the concave portion 80a in communication with the peripheral surface serving as the bottom of the concave portion 80a, so that the amount of depression is larger (deep) than the concave portion 80a, so as to be compatible with the information identification part. The cross-sectional shape of 69 (the cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16) corresponds to two-stage recesses. Obviously, these two-stage recesses 80a, 80b also constitute multiple recesses in the present invention.

In addition, in the information identification part 69, the RFID chip 64 is thicker than the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 in most cases, and the RFID chip 64 is in a shape protruding toward the tape feed roller 80 more than the wireless identification antenna conductor 63, so the concave part 80b is depressed. The amount is larger (deeper) than the concave portion 80a. Therefore, when the RFID chip 64 does not protrude to the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 of the tape feed roller 80 to surround the RFID chip 64 than the RFID chip 64, or the RFID chip 64 is arranged on the surface of the tape feed roller 80 in the wireless identification antenna conductor 63, due to the concave portion 80b The amount of depression is higher than that of the concave portion 80a, so the excessive pressing force applied to the information identification portion 69 can be absorbed without applying excessive pressing force to the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 .

In addition, the recesses 80a and 80b are defined by the cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16. Therefore, for example, when the thickness of the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 is uneven, the recesses 80a sandwiching the recess 80b do not need to have the same amount of recess. And, by making the recessed portions 80a, 80b uneven, and making the recessed portion into two stages, as the recessed amount corresponding to the RFID chip 64 and the wireless identification antenna conductor 63, it is possible not to apply a pressing force to the information identification part 69, and by making the information The identification part 69 and the roller surface are moderately separated, the unnecessary gap can be eliminated, and the bonding of the laminated tape 11 and the strip-shaped sheet member 16 can be properly carried out so as to apply a pressing force that does not cause damage or deterioration of the information identification part 69, Alternatively, compared with the structure in which the information recognition part 69 and the roller surface are separated, increasing the contact surface can also improve the conveyance of the laminated belt 11 and the belt-shaped sheet member 16 . In addition, the number of stages may be "3" or more. In addition, the recessed portions 80a and 80b may be in contact with one of the RFID chip 64 and the wireless identification antenna conductor 63 but not in contact with the other.

According to this embodiment, like the above-mentioned tape feed roller 18, it can absorb the excessive pressing force applied to the information identification part 69 embedded in the belt-shaped sheet member 16, and can reliably prevent the damage caused by the excessive pressing force on the RFID chip 64. Disappearance of identification data as information and damage of information identification unit 69 due to deterioration.

In addition, in this embodiment, the structure in which a plurality of recesses 18a, 18b or recesses 80a, 80b of different depths are provided in the tape feed rollers 18, 80 has been described, and the elastically deformable portion 69 is provided. The same effect can also be obtained by replacing the plurality of recesses 18a, 18b or the recesses 80a, 80b having different depths with a cushioning material such as an elastic portion made of soft sponge.

In addition, a cushioning material may be provided in the recesses 18a, 18b, 80a, and 80b simultaneously with the formation of the recesses 18a, 18b, 80a, and 80b.

In addition, in the embodiment and other forms, the structure in which the pressing force absorbing means (recesses, elastic bodies) are provided on the tape feed rollers 18, 80 has been described, and the belt-shaped sheet member 16 having the information identification part 69 The roller 21 clamped at the same time as the tape feed rollers 18 and 80 is provided with the same pressing force absorbing unit (recess, elastic body) structure as above, which is useful for preventing the identification data stored in the information identification unit 69 from disappearing and identifying information. Partial damage is also effective.

In addition, with respect to the recesses 18a, 18b, 80a, and 80b, the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is a rectangle or an inverted "convex" that combines a rectangle, and is determined by mutually perpendicular straight lines. , can also be a shape determined by acute angles, straight lines intersecting at acute angles, curves, etc. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the recess may be a triangle, trapezoid, semicircle, semiellipse, or the like. Further, as shown in FIG. 21 , a plurality of two-stage recessed portions 80 a, 80 b shown in FIG. 22 may be provided on one tape feed roller 18 in the width direction away from the belt-shaped sheet member 16 .

In addition, the thickness of the wireless identification tag is the largest when it is discharged to the outside after production, so a pair of rollers consisting of a conveying roller and a tape feed roller are installed in the discharge section that discharges the wireless identification tag to the outside, so that information identification can be further prevented. Deterioration and damage of part 69.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the structure of bonding the strip-shaped sheet member 16 having the information identification portion 69 and the image-forming laminated tape 11 has been described, but it is also conceivable to use the thermal printing mechanism PM as an image forming unit. A structure that directly forms an image instead of the above-mentioned structure. In this case, the strip-shaped sheet member 16 having the information identification portion 69 becomes an image forming object, and the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is pressed by the thermal head 19 through the pressure plate 20 facing the thermal head 19 . The same applies to the printing on the surface of the belt-shaped sheet member 16 after the belt-shaped sheet member 16 and the lamination tape 11 are pasted together. On this platen 20, like the above-mentioned tape feed rollers 18, 80, a concave portion is formed, or an elastic body that is elastically deformed by the information identification portion 69 is provided, and when an image is formed on the belt-shaped sheet member 16 having the information identification portion 69, it can absorb The excessive pressing force applied to the information identification part 69 can effectively prevent the identification data stored in the information identification part 69 from disappearing and the information identification part from being damaged.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, it has been described that the identification data is stored in the wireless identification element. Of course, it is also possible to apply the reading and writing device V (refer to FIG. 3 ) for reading and writing the identification data and read the identification data through it. Or write the identification data into the device.

In addition, the strip-shaped sheet member 16 is composed of only a series of long continuous surfaces, and a rectangular sheet member as shown by a dotted line in FIG.

Furthermore, as the RFID transmission method, various methods such as electrostatic coupling method, electromagnetic coupling method, electromagnetic induction method, microwave method, and UHF method can be implemented without departing from the scope of the characteristics of the present invention. For example, when there is a guide roller that bends the belt-shaped sheet member 16, the belt-shaped sheet member 16 is crimped to the guide roller with tension. By forming at least one of the above-mentioned concave portions 18a, 18b, 80a, and 80b on the guide roller, deterioration and damage of the information recognition portion 69 can be similarly prevented.

In addition, instead of the thermal head 19 , it is conceivable to perform image formation on the laminated tape 11 or the belt-shaped sheet member 16 in an inkjet head that forms an image by inkjet. At this time, when at least one of the above-mentioned 18a, 18b, 80a, 80b is formed on the platen 20, the laminated tape 11 or strip-shaped sheet member 16 contacts the platen 20 to determine its position relative to the inkjet head. At this time, in order to form the information identification portion 69, the laminated tape 11 or the strip-shaped sheet member 16 protrudes, and even if a part protrudes, the protruding part will be embedded in the recesses 18a, 18b, 80a, 80b, so the inkjet head and the layer The image forming surfaces of the pressure belt 11 or the belt-shaped sheet member 16 do not approach too much.
