The sticker half-cutting apparatus may include a release paper separation rollers 400 so as to make the sticker sheet 10 passing through the support roller part 100 and the half-cutting roller part 200 be a complete product while being transferred along the conveyance path (A).
That is, the release paper separation rollers 400 are spaced from each other along the upper portion and the lower portion, and separate the release paper 14 from the printed part 10a of the sticker sheet 10, thereby leaving only the shape part 20 on the surface of the release paper 14. Accordingly, a sticker complete product from which a user can easily detach the shape part 20 can be manufactured.
As shown in
The support roller part 100 rotates while supporting the lower portion of a sticker sheet 10 transferred along a conveyance path (A).
The half-cutting roller part 200 is installed on the upper portion of the support roller part 100 and rotates by engaging with the support roller part 200, and includes a half cutter 210 for cutting a printed part 10a of the sticker sheet 10 passing through the support roller part 100.
To achieve this, the half-cutting roller part 200 includes a cylinder member 220 and a half-cutting member 230.
The cylinder member 220 is formed in the same shape and the same size as those of the support roller part 100, so as to rotate by engaging with the support roller part 100.
The cylinder member 220 may be formed of a magnetic material having magnetism, and may rotate in close contact with the support roller part 100 by magnetism, and accordingly, may press the printed part 10a of the sticker sheet 10, such that a shape part 20 is easily cut.
The half-cutting member 230 is connected with the outer circumference of the cylinder member 220, and is formed to have the plurality of half cutters 210 protruding therefrom.
As shown in
Accordingly, the half-cutting member 230 may be replaced with a half-cutting member 230 having half cutters 210 of different shapes.
The half-cutting member 230 may be formed to have elasticity. This is to make it easy to attach and detach the half-cutting member 230 to and from the outer circumference of the cylinder member 220 when the half-cutting member 230 is replaced.
The anti-adhesion fluid supplying unit 300 applies an anti-adhesion fluid 30 on the surface of the half-cutter 210 coming into contact with the printed part 10a of the sticker sheet 10.
To achieve this, the anti-adhesion fluid supplying unit 300 includes an anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310.
The anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310 adsorbs the anti-adhesion fluid 30 and rotates by engaging with the half-cutting roller part 200, and is formed to apply the adsorbed anti-adhesion fluid 30 on the surface of the half cutter 210 of the half-cutting roller part 200 by rotation.
In the present embodiment, the anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310 is disposed on the upper portion of the half-cutting roller part 200. However, this should not be considered as limiting. According to the present invention, there may be various variations such as the anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310 being disposed on the side portion of the half-cutting roller part 200.
The anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310 includes a roller member 312 and an anti-adhesion fluid application member 314.
The roller member 312 is formed to have a diameter smaller than the diameter of the half-cutting roller part 200, and rotates by engaging with the half-cutting roller part 200, and includes the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314 formed on the center of the outer circumference of the roller member 312.
The anti-adhesion fluid application member 314 is formed to adsorb the anti-adhesion fluid 30, and is connected with the outer circumference of the roller member 310 and has a size corresponding to the size of the half cutter 210. The anti-adhesion fluid 30 may be manually sprayed directly by an operator or may be automatically sprayed by a separate spray device.
The anti-adhesion fluid application member 314 may be formed of a porous moisture absorption material such as sponge, and may be formed to include a nonwoven fabric formed of a fabric of a synthetic fiber or a natural fiber having a high moisture absorption property.
As shown in
That is, the half cutter 210 having a predetermined pattern is provided on the outer circumference of the half-cutting roller part 200, and the half cutter 210 presses and cuts the sticker sheet 10 while rotating with the support roller part 100 on the outer circumference of the half-cutting roller part 200, such that the shape part 20 is cut from the printed part 10a of the sticker sheet 10 passing between the support roller part 100 and the half-cutting roller part 200.
In addition, the anti-adhesion fluid supplying unit 300 is provided on the upper portion or side portion of the half-cutting roller part 200, and the anti-adhesion fluid supplying unit 300 provided in this way applies the anti-adhesion fluid 30 on the half cutters 210 of the half-cutting roller part 200.
The anti-adhesion fluid supplying unit 300 includes the anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310, and the anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310 rotates by engaging with the rotating half-cutting roller part 200, and comes into contact with the half cutter 210 with the anti-adhesion fluid 30 being contained therein, thereby applying the anti-adhesion fluid 30 on the surface of the half cutter 210.
In this case, the anti-adhesion fluid 30 may be formed of a slippery material such as silicon or oil, such that the shape part 20 of the sticker sheet 10 is prevented from sticking to the surface of the half cutter 210 due to the adhesive 12 coated on the half cutter 210 when the shape part 20 is cut from the sticker sheet 10 by the haft cutter 210.
Referring to
The sticker half-cutting apparatus according to the present embodiment applies the anti-adhesion fluid 30, which acts so as to prevent the adhesive 12 from sticking to the half cutter 210, is applied on the surface of the half cutter 210, such that the shape parts 20 can be prevented from sticking to the half cutter 210. The above-described operations will be described in detail hereinbelow.
When the support roller 100 and the half-cutting roller part 200 rotate by engaging with each other so as to cut the shape part 20 from the sticker sheet 10 transferred along the conveyance path (A), the anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310 rotates by engaging with the half-cutting roller part 200.
In this case, when the anti-adhesion fluid 30 is applied to the anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310, the anti-adhesion fluid 30 is adsorbed onto the application roller part 310. The anti-adhesion fluid 30 adsorbed onto the application roller part 310 in this way is transferred to the half-cutting roller part 200 by being coated on the surface of the half-cutting roller part 200 which rotates in contact with the application roller part 310.
As described above, the anti-adhesion fluid 30 is coated on the surface of the half-cutting roller part 200, such that the anti-adhesion fluid 30 is applied on the surface of the half cutter 210, and the anti-adhesion fluid 30 applied on the surface of the half-cutter 210 as described above forms a release layer on the surface of the half-cutter 210 and thus prevents the adhesive 12 applied to the sticker sheet 10 from sticking to the half cutter 210.
The sticker half-cutting apparatus according to the present embodiment prevents the cut shape part 20 from sticking to the half cutter 210 by applying the anti-adhesion fluid 30 on the half-cutting roller part 200, such that a defect can be prevented when a sticker complete product is produced, and a process of removing the shape part 20 which may frequently occur due to a defect can be reduced, such that a production speed for producing the sticker complete product can be enhanced.
Hereinafter,
As shown in
The anti-adhesion fluid supplying unit 300 may include an anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310 and an anti-adhesion fluid supply part 320.
The anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310 adsorbs the anti-adhesion fluid 30, rotates by engaging with a half-cutting roller part 200, and adsorbs the anti-adhesion fluid 30 and applies the anti-adhesion fluid 30 on the surface of the half cutter 210. The anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310 may be disposed on the upper portion of the half-cutting roller part 200 or may be disposed on the side portion of the half-cutting roller part 200.
The anti-adhesion fluid supply part 320 supplies the anti-adhesion fluid 30 to the anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310, and includes an anti-adhesion fluid supply tank 322 and a spray nozzle 324.
The anti-adhesion fluid supply tank 322 is formed to have a predetermined inner space for storing the anti-adhesion fluid 30. In addition, the spray nozzle 324 is installed adjacent to the anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310.
The spray nozzle 324 sprays the anti-adhesion fluid 30 stored in the anti-adhesion fluid supply tank 322 onto the anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310, and is operated to spray the anti-adhesion fluid 30 toward an anti-adhesion fluid application member 314 enclosing the outer circumference of the anti-adhesion fluid application roller part 310.
For example, the spray nozzle 324 may be installed in plural numbers along the longitudinal direction of the anti-adhesion fluid supply tank 322 to correspond to the length of the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314.
In another example, the spray nozzle 324 may be formed to be movable along the longitudinal direction of the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314. In this case, the spray nozzle 324 reciprocates in the longitudinal direction of the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314, and is operated to uniformly spray the anti-adhesion fluid 30 toward the application member 314.
The anti-adhesion fluid supply part 320 may further include a controller 328 to control the operation of the spray nozzle 324.
For example, the controller 328 may control the operation of the spray nozzle 324 to spray the anti-adhesion fluid 30 toward the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314 at a predetermined time interval.
That is, the controller 328 may control the operation of the spray nozzle 324 at a predetermined spray time interval to adjust the spray interval of the spray nozzle 324, and accordingly, control to supply an appropriate amount of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 to the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314 at the right time, such that the amount of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 supplied to the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314 can be always maintained at an appropriate level.
As described above, the sticker half-cutting apparatus which adjusts the supply of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 automatically supplies the anti-adhesion fluid 30, such that operation convenience can be enhanced, and also, the amount of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 supplied to the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314 is always maintained at an appropriate level, such that operation efficiency can be enhanced.
In another example, the anti-adhesion fluid supply part 320 may further include a measurement sensor 326 and the controller 328.
The measurement sensor 326 is connected with the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314 to measure a degree of adsorption of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 supplied from the anti-adhesion fluid supply tank 322 on the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314.
In addition, the controller 328 controls the operation of the spray nozzle 324 according to the degree of adsorption of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 to adjust the amount of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 to be supplied.
In order to measure the degree of adsorption of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 supplied to the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314, the controller 328 compares the degree of adsorption of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 on the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314 measured first by the measurement sensor 326, and a predetermined average degree of adsorption of the anti-adhesion fluid 30.
In this case, when it is determined that the degree of adsorption of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 on the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314 is lower than the predetermined average degree of adsorption of the anti-adhesion fluid 30, the controller 328 may control the spray nozzle 324 to increase the amount of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 to be supplied to the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314.
In addition, the controller 328 may control the amount of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 to be supplied by controlling the spray time or spray interval of the spray nozzle 324. When it is determined that the degree of adsorption of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 on the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314 is higher than the predetermined average degree of adsorption of the anti-adhesion fluid 30, the controller 328 may control the spray time or spray time interval to be shortened and may reduce the amount of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 to be supplied.
That is, the controller 328 adjusts the spray time or spray interval of the spray nozzle 324 according to the degree of adsorption of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 measured by the measurement sensor 326, such that the degree of adsorption of the anti-adhesion fluid 30 on the anti-adhesion fluid application member 314 can be maintained at an appropriate level.
According to the present invention, a separate roller holding a slippery liquid therein is installed on the upper portion of a magnetic cylinder connected with a processed half cutter, and applies the slippery liquid to the half cutter when the magnetic cylinder rotates, such that the adhesive of the sticker can be prevented from sticking to the half cutter.
In addition, the present invention can prevent a part of the sticker sheet cut through the half cutter from sticking to the half cutter, such that a defect rate can be reduced when a sticker complete product is produced, and accordingly, there is an effect of increasing a production speed according to the production of the sticker complete product.
