Description

  The present invention relates to a label issuing device and a label issuing system for issuing a label with an IC including an IC capable of communicating in a non-contact state.

  In recent years, a label with an IC including an IC that can communicate in a non-contact state and an antenna is affixed on a mount, and predetermined information is written to or read from the IC of the label with the IC. Has developed a label issuing device that prints information written on the IC as visible information and issues a label with an IC.

  Such an IC label has a size, a distance between the IC label attached to the mount and the label with the IC, and an IC mounting position on the label varies from label to label. When the antenna position is set on the label issuing device side so that data can be written to or read from the IC, labels with different IC mounting positions or labels with different label sizes are used. In this case, there is a problem in that communication cannot be performed correctly with the IC with the IC label, and communication with the IC with the IC label that is not intended for communication is erroneously performed.

Conventionally, a label issuing device is prepared for each type of label with IC, or the position of the antenna on the device side depends on the size of the label with IC and the IC position on the label. There is a label issuing device that makes it variable.

It is supposed to be.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a system configuration of the control unit of the label issuing apparatus. The control unit 40 includes a CPU 41, a ROM 42, a RAM 43, an operation unit 44, and a display unit 45. An RFID reader / writer 46, a thermal head 11, a communication unit 48, a motor 47, and a gap sensor 26 are connected to the control unit 40. Yes.

  The CPU 41 is for controlling each unit, and controls each unit by executing a program stored in the ROM 42. The RAM 43 stores work areas and flags necessary for the CPU 41 to operate, as well as product files, label formats, setting data, and the like, which will be described in detail later. The operation unit 44 includes a board feed key for feeding the IC label 16, a numeric key for inputting the number of cards to be issued, and an issue key used when issuing the IC label 16 (the number key and the issue key). In this combination, a predetermined number of labels can be printed and issued), and a product number key for calling up the product number is provided. The RFID reader / writer 46 is for wirelessly communicating with the IC 15 of the IC-attached label 16 via an antenna (not shown), and the motor 47 is a stepping motor for driving the platen roller 12.

4A, 4B, and 4C are views showing the mount 17 and the IC-attached label 16 and the IC 15 that are attached to the mount 17. FIG. As shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C, various sizes of IC-attached labels 16 are attached to the top surface of the mount 17 with various gap intervals G _{1 to} G ₃ . 4 (b) and 4 (c), 26 'shown by a one-dot chain line is the position of the gap sensor 26, and 27' is for wireless communication between the RFID reader / writer 46 and the IC 15 of the label 16 with IC. The position of the antenna 27 (not shown) of the RFID reader / writer 46 and 11 'indicates the position (printing position) of the thermal head 11. 4A, 4B, and 4C show an example in which the mount 17 moves from the left to the right in the figure for printing after printing.

FIG. 5 shows a product file, and FIG. 6 shows a label format. As shown in the figure, the product number, product name, price, label format number (NO), etc. are recorded in the product file. The label format includes the size (vertical and horizontal dimensions) of the IC label 16 for each label format NO, the gap between the IC label 16 and the IC label 16, and the IC position information of the IC label 16 to be used. Is set. As the IC position information, for example, the position 27 ′ of the antenna and the IC 15 of the IC-attached label 16 when the tip of the IC-attached label 16 is waiting for printing in the vicinity of the peeling portion 25 (see FIG. 2). The data of the distance L ₁ (see FIGS. 4B and 4C) to which the mount 17 is moved until communication is possible is set as “movement distance information”, and together with the “direction” information to move the mount 17 from the standby position. Show.

In addition, for example, when the mount 17 is transported in the label issuing direction without being wound up, the predetermined matter is printed on the label. After the gap sensor 26 is located at the position 26 ″ in FIG. 4A and the RFID reader / writer 46 and its antenna 27 are located at the position 27 ″, the gap of the label 16, that is, the tip of the label 16, is detected, and then the IC 15 The data of the distance L ₂ (see FIG. 4A) for moving the mount 17 until the antenna 27 can communicate with the antenna 27 may be used as the IC position information (movement distance information). The distances L ₁ and L ₂ vary depending on the frequency of the antenna 27 of the RFID reader / writer 46 to be used.

  A case where predetermined items are printed by the thermal head 11 will be described using an example in which the tip of the IC-attached label 16 is positioned in the vicinity of the peeling portion 25 (see FIG. 2). As the movement distance information, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, “0” dots, “60” dots, “150” dots are set in the label format, and orientation information “0”, “1”, “2” is set. Has been. When the direction information is “0”, it does not move, “1” indicates forward (forward feed), and “2” indicates backward (back feed). When the movement distance information is “0”, the mount 17 does not move for communication with the antenna 27 and does not move through the antenna 27 (not shown) of the RFID reader / writer 46 at the print start position (initial standby position). Communication with the IC 15 is started. In the case of “1” and “2”, the robot moves by a distance set in each direction, and starts communication between the antenna 27 and the IC-attached label 16. Here, for example, 1 mm is 12 dots. Further, the IC position information may be length data indicating a distance, or time data when the motor 47 rotates.

  Further, the IC position information may be provided in a file different from the label format. For example, an issuance condition setting file is provided, moving distance information is also provided along with printing speed and print density adjustment, and these are set as one issuance condition setting data, and the issuance condition setting data is associated with the product number in the product file. Also good. Thereby, when the product data of the corresponding product number is called, the issue condition setting file is also called together with the label format.

  Next, the issue flow of the label 16 with IC will be described. First, for example, the label roll 14 having the IC-attached label 16 attached on the mount 17 is set in the label issuing device so that the IC-attached label 16 is set at the printing position. The gap sensor 26 is a transmission type sensor that detects a label on the mount 17, and light emitted from the light emitting element (not shown) passes through the label 16 with the IC to the light receiving element (not shown). To reach. That is, the amount of transmitted light is converted into a digital value, and if it is higher than the reference voltage, it is determined that there is no IC label 16, that is, the gap G between the IC label 16 and the IC label 16.

By selecting the product number of the product file (see FIG. 5), product data (product name, price) and label format NO are called. Then, by pressing the operation unit 44 (see FIG. 3) mount paper feed key, the motor 47 which is a stepping motor is rotated by the number of pulses corresponding to the length of the set label 16 with IC. When the IC-attached label 16 is detected by the gap sensor 26, the set length of the IC-attached label 16, the length of the gap G, the distance L ₃ between the thermal head 11 and the gap sensor 26 (FIG. 4 (c) The IC-labeled label 16 is fed by a distance determined by (1)), and the IC-labeled label 16 is set at the printing position (issue standby position). This state is as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, for example.

In summary,
1. The label roll 14 of the label 16 with IC to be used is set in the label issuing device.
2. The product number to be used is called by the numeric key and the product number key, and the board feed key is pressed to align the IC label 16 with the print start position (initial standby position). When the label roll 14 is set in the label issuing device, the process for printing the label 16 with the IC and issuing the label is performed according to the following procedure.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a flow of label issuance. First, in step ST1, the product number is input by operating the keys of the operation unit 44. Subsequently, in step ST2, corresponding product data (product name, price, etc.) and label format number (NO) are called, and in step ST3, a label issuing key for issuing the IC-attached label 16 is pressed. When printing a plurality of labels 16 with ICs, a predetermined number of labels 16 with ICs are issued by continuously pressing the number key of the operation unit 44 and pressing the issue key, so that the counter of the register memory in the RAM 43 is displayed. Data for the number of issued cards is set.

  In step ST4, the movement distance and direction of the IC position information of the label format number (NO) read in step ST2 are read to determine whether the direction is “0”. If YES, the process proceeds to step ST6. If NO, the process proceeds to step ST5. Note that the IC position information is stored in the register memory of the RAM 43 by reading. In step ST5, the motor 47, which is a stepping motor, is rotated by the moving distance information (number of pulses) in the direction (rotation direction) of the IC position information read in step ST4. Subsequently, in step ST6, polling is transmitted from the RFID reader / writer 46 to the IC 15, and it is determined whether or not there is a response from the IC 15 in step S7. If YES, the process proceeds to step ST8. Move on to ST14.

  In step ST8, since there is a response from the IC for polling, for example, the state of starting data communication such as reading the ID from the IC 15 or writing the product data as print data is ready, and the IC 15 and the RFID reader / writer 46 are connected. Read or write the sequence number for each label, starting communication. Subsequently, in step ST9, the IC position information stored in the register of the RAM 43 in step ST4 is read, and it is determined again whether or not the IC position information is “0”. If NO, the process proceeds to step ST10, and if YES, the process proceeds to step ST11.

  In step ST10, the motor 47 is rotated by the same number of pulses in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the motor 47 rotated in step ST5. As a result, in step ST11, the IC-attached label 16 is positioned at the print position, and if it is the print start position, it returns to the initial standby position. In step ST12, the product data read in step ST2 is printed on the IC-attached label 16. In step ST13, it is determined whether or not there is the number data in the register memory counter in the RAM 43. If YES, the process returns to step ST4 to continue the process. If NO, the process ends (END).

  On the other hand, when there is no response from the IC 15 within the predetermined time in step ST7 and the process proceeds to step ST14, an error indicating that is informed when the communication between the RFID reader / writer 46 and the IC 15 is not established. Any means for notifying this error may be used. For example, a voice generating means may be provided to notify the error by voice, or a lamp or the like indicating the error may be lit or blinked. In step ST15, the motor 47 is rotated, and the IC-attached label 16 is conveyed and discharged. At this time, since the predetermined matter is not printed on the label 16 with the IC, it can be understood that necessary data is not written in the IC 15. Although not shown in the label format, a print layout for printing product data such as product names and prices is provided, and printing is performed based on the layout.

  Before setting the label roll 14 in the label issuing device 10 and starting printing, it is possible to check whether the IC communication means of the RFID reader / writer 46 and the IC 15 can communicate with the set IC position information. . FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a processing flow for confirming this. In step ST21, an IC position information input mode is entered, and IC position information is input. Subsequently, the confirmation key on the operation unit 44 or the display unit 45 is pressed in step ST22. Subsequently, in step ST23, the motor 47 is rotated by the moving distance input in step ST21. The meaning of the numbers to be set is the same as in the label issuing mode.

  Subsequently, in step ST24, polling is transmitted from the RFID reader / writer 46 to the IC 15 of the IC-attached label 16. Subsequently, in step ST25, it is determined whether or not there is a response from the IC 15 within several milliseconds within a predetermined time. If YES, the process proceeds to step ST26, and if NO, the process proceeds to step ST27. In step ST26, OK is notified, and in step ST27, an error is notified. In addition, how to alert | report in step ST26, 27 is not ask | required. For example, the OK and error lamps may be turned on or blinking, or an error sound may be generated in the case of an error, and in the case of OK, the characters “communicable” may be displayed on the display unit 45. .

  In step ST28, the motor 47 is rotated by the same number of pulses in the direction opposite to the direction rotated in step ST23 and returned. If an error is notified in step ST29, the motor 47 is rotated by the same number of pulses in the direction opposite to the direction rotated in step ST23.

  Next, the case where the label issuing device 10 is connected to the external management device 50 as shown in FIG. 9 and configured as a label issuing system will be described. The external management device 50 includes a CPU 51, a ROM 52, a RAM 53, an operation unit 54, a display unit 55, and a communication unit 56. The communication unit 56 and the communication unit 48 (see FIG. 3) of the label issuing device 10 are connected by a communication line 60. Thus, the CPU 41 (see FIG. 3) of the label issuing device 10 and the CPU 51 of the external management device 50 can communicate with each other.

  The CPU 51 of the external management device 50 controls each unit by executing a program stored in the ROM 52. In the RAM 53, a product file and a label format file including IC position information can be set and stored. A label issuing command is transmitted from the CPU 51 of the external management device 50 to the CPU 41 of the label issuing device 10. The external management device 50 performs the processing of steps ST1 to ST4 in FIG. The CPU 51 of the external management device 50 transmits the rotation of the motor 47 in step ST5 or the polling transmission instruction in step ST6 to the CPU 41 of the label issuing device 10. The label format including the product file and the IC position information may not be stored in the RAM 53 of the external management device 50. In short, it is only necessary that the external management device 50 can read the product data.

  Further, the label issuing device 10 does not need to perform printing, and may issue a label on which predetermined items are printed in advance. In that case, instead of the thermal head 11, the label may be issued with the two platen rollers facing each other.

  Further, as long as the printing method is a thermal printer, the printing method is not limited to a method using a ribbon, and a direct thermal printer may be used.

  In the above example, the presence / absence of the IC 15 of the IC label 16 is detected by polling transmission. However, the detection method of the IC 15 is not limited to this, and any signal that can respond from the IC 15 may be used. Not only the response signal but also electromagnetic waves having a resonance frequency may be sent to the IC 15 to detect the resonance state and detect the presence or absence of the IC 15.

  Further, the label issuing device according to the present invention may be combined with a weighing device, or may be combined with a packaging device or the like.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims and the specification and drawings. Is possible.
