BACKGROUND

Referring to FIG. 1, a traditional rotary die cutter device comprises a set of die cutter 100, 120, 140, 160 and 180. The set of die cutter 100 comprises a transmission shaft 101, a anvil roll 103, a cutter roll 105, and CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensing unit 107. When a continuous sheet pass through a set of die cutter 100, blade protrusion disposed on the cutter roll 105 cuts patterns on the continuous sheet sequentially. However, when the continuous sheet moves, there might be offset that prevent the die cutter cutting patterns precisely. The traditional means is to dispose a movable mechanism (not shown) beside the cutter roll 105 of the die cutters 100. When the image sensor unit detects a deviation of the shape, the movable mechanism will move accordingly to changes an angle between the set of die cutter and the continuous sheet, so that the patterns can be cut precisely. However, a structure of the traditional die cutter device is complex and the movable mechanism will cause the center of gravity of the cutter roll to shift and affect the average cutting force.

Some words are used to refer to specific elements in the whole specification and the appended claims in the disclosure. A person skilled in the art should understand that a movable die cutter device may use different names to refer to the same elements. The specification is not intended to distinguish elements that have the same functions but different names. In the following specification and claims, the terms “having”, “including”, etc. are open-ended terms, so they should be interpreted to mean “including but not limited to . . . ”.

It should be noted that in the following embodiments, features in a plurality of embodiments may be replaced, recombined, or mixed to complete other embodiments without departing from the spirit of the disclosure. The features of the embodiments may be used in any combination without departing from the spirit of the disclosure or conflicting with each other.

The technical content and feature of the invention is illustrated by the following embodiment and figures. Referring to FIG. 2, a movable die cutter device 200 of the invention comprises a set of die cutter 210, a skid rail unit 230 and CCD (Charge Couple Device) image sensing device 207, wherein the set of die cutter 210 includes transmission shaft 201, an anvil roll 203 and a cutter roll 205.

Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, the movable platform 220 comprises a base 221, a set of movable units 223 and an upper plate 225. The set of movable units 223 is fixed between the base 221 and the upper plate 225 and controls a movement of the upper plate 225, for example translation or rotation. The skid rail unit 230 comprises a sliding block unit 232 and a skid rail unit 234, wherein the sliding block unit 232 fixes the set of die cutter 210 and the upper plate of the movable platform 220. The skid rail unit 234 is disposed on the base 221 of the movable platform 220 and the sliding block unit 232 slides thereon. The sliding block unit 232 comprises a fixed rotation element 231 and a slide 233. The fixed rotation element 231 can fix the set of die cutter 210 on the upper plate 225 and can rotates relative to the slide 233. The skid rail unit 234 comprises skid rail 235 and skid rail seat 237 fixing the skid rail 235 on the base 221. The slide 233 can slides on the skid rail 235 in Y direction. The long axis direction (for example, the Y direction) of the skid rail unit 230 is substantially parallel to the long axis direction of the set of die cutter 210 and the set or die cutter 210 is substantially disposed on the center of the upper plate 225.

Referring to FIG. 4, an embodiment of a movable platform 220 according to the invention. A set of movable units 223 includes a first direction mobile unit 2231 moving in a first direction, a first direction mobile unit 2233 moving in a first direction, a second direction mobile unit 2235 moving in a second direction 2235 and moved unit 2237. The first direction mobile unit 2231, the first direction mobile unit 2233, the second direction mobile unit 2235 and the passive mobile unit 2237 are separately disposed on four corners of the movable platform 220. The upper plate 225 of movable platform 220 can be controlled to move horizontally by the first direction mobile unit 2231 and the first direction mobile unit 2233 in the first direction (Y direction). The first direction mobile unit 2231 and the first direction mobile unit 2233 substantially apply force in opposite directions along the first direction, and cooperate with the second direction mobile unit 2235 applies force in a second direction (X direction). Therefore, the upper plate 225 can rotates horizontally in a 9 angle relative to the first direction. The passive mobile unit 2237 can be regard as a moving reference position, so that the upper plate 225 can move in a stable horizontal direction or rotate horizontally.

The CCD (Charge Coupled device) image sensing unit 207 of the movable die cutter device 200 of the invention can be fixed on the set of die cutter 210, or can be disposed on the base 221 of the movable platform 220. Furthermore, as long as the CCD (Charge Coupled device) image sensing unit 207 can sense an offset during cutting the patterns on the continuous sheet, the location of the CCD (Charge Coupled device) image sensing unit 207 is not limited thereto. When the CCD (Charge Coupled device) image sensing unit 207 senses an offsets, the CCD (Charge Coupled device) image sensing unit 207 transmits a shift signal to a control device (not shown in the figure). The control device can control the set of the movable units 223 and make the upper plate 225 of the movable platform 220 translate or rotate horizontally to compensate the shift offset.

Referring to FIG. 5, when the continuous sheet 300 passes through the cutter roll 205, two CCD (Charge Coupled device) image sensing units 207 (disposed on an upstream of the cutter roll 205) separately sense two alignment marks 320 of the patterns 310. When the leftmost pattern shifts, the shift can be sensed by the CCD (Charge Coupled device) image sensing unit 207, the CCD (Charge Coupled device) image sensing unit 207 transmits a shift signal to a control device (not shown in the figure). The control device can control the set of the movable units 223 according to the deviation value, so that the movable platform 220 can move horizontally downward in the Y direction. Therefore, the patterns can be precisely cut.

Although the disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, a person of ordinary skill in the art should understand that modifications may still be made to the technical solutions in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent replacements may be made to part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of corresponding technical solutions to depart from the scope of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the disclosure.
