2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a nameplate automatic sticking machine for peeling a nameplate such as a label stuck to a work while feeding a continuous sheet and sticking it to a work, in the nameplate automatic sticking machine, The nameplate sent out with a sheet such as a mount is directly attached to the work.

[0003]

However, in the case of such a structure, the deviation of the sticking position of the nameplate stuck to the sheet shifts to the work as it is, and the nameplate is stuck to the work after being displaced. There was a problem that Therefore, it is conceivable that the nameplate peeled from the sheet is placed on the cradle and the position is corrected, and then the nameplate is sucked and attached to the work, but the back of the nameplate is attached to the cradle and the back of the nameplate is attached. Becomes rough and requires maintenance on the pedestal side, and the nameplate is peeled from the sheet, placed on the pedestal, and after the position is corrected, the nameplate is adsorbed from the pedestal and adhered to the work, making the process complicated. There was a problem of becoming.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to position the sheet and the name plate while taking a step of peeling the name plate from the sheet and adhering it to the work. An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic nameplate sticking machine that can correct the deviation and, as a result, stick the work piece to a correct position.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a feeding device 3 for feeding a sheet 2 to which nameplates 1 such as labels are attached at appropriate intervals, and a sheet 2 fed by the feeding device 3 are provided. The receiving pedestal 8, the sending position correcting means 7 for detecting the position in the sending direction of the nameplate 1 on the receiving pedestal 8 and correcting the sending position to the reference position, and the nameplate of the sheet 2 on the pedestal 8. The left-right position correcting means 9 for detecting the position shift of the sheet 1 in the left-right direction and changing the left-right position of the sheet 2, and the position-corrected nameplate 1 is adsorbed and peeled from the sheet 2, and the nameplate 1 is attached to the work. It is characterized by comprising an adsorption and sticking device 4.

[0006]

With respect to the name plate 1 sent by the sending device 3 together with the sheet 2 on the pedestal 8, the sending position correcting means 7 corrects the position in the sending direction to the reference position. Then, the left / right position correcting means 9 corrects the left / right position to the reference position.
The nameplate 1 thus positioned at an accurate position is sucked by the suction sticking device 4 and stuck to the work.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. A sheet 2 to which a nameplate 1 such as a label is attached at an appropriate interval is sent out and wound around a reel 11, and the sheet 2 is passed between upper and lower rollers 12 and 13 as a feeding device 3 and a pulse motor. At 14, the delivery amount in the delivery direction can be finely adjusted. A receiving stand 8 is disposed in front of such a feeding device 3 so that the sheet 2 can be wound around the upper surface of the receiving stand 8 through the take-up rolls 15 and the take-up reel 16. ..
The winding rolls 15 and 15 are driven by a motor 17.
In the vicinity of the pedestal 8, there is provided a delivery position correction means 7 for detecting the position of the name plate 1 on the pedestal 8 in the delivery direction and correcting the delivery position to the reference position. Specifically, photoelectric cell devices and sensors S ₁ and S _{2 in the} form of reed switches are arranged above and below the pedestal 8 at a predetermined position to detect the rear end of the nameplate 1 passing over the pedestal 8. The pulse motor 14 is controlled so that the nameplate 1 can be positioned on the pedestal 8 at the reference position in the sending direction. As described above, the structure for correcting the position of the nameplate 1 in the sending direction is generically referred to as the sending position correcting means 7, but the structure can be variously changed in design. The pedestal 8 is held by the base 18 via a guide rod 19 so that the position of the pedestal 8 can be changed in the left-right direction. Specifically, the screw mechanism 2 is operated by rotating the motor 20 in the forward and reverse directions.
The position of the pedestal 8 can be changed to the left or right via the position 1. Sensors S ₃ and S ₄ are arranged near the pedestal 8 to detect the left and right end portions of the nameplate 1 passing therethrough, and the position of the pedestal 8 is changed to the left and right. The nameplate 1 is moved in the left-right direction so that the position can be corrected to the reference position in the left-right direction. In this way, the structure for adjusting the left and right position of the nameplate 1 is provided with the left and right position correcting means 9
However, the design can be changed in various ways.

A suction sticking device 4 is disposed above the pedestal 8. The suction / paste device 4 has a thin box-shaped suction portion 22.
The lower surface of the sheet is knitted so that the nameplate 1 on the pedestal 8 can be sucked by the suction from the suction hose 23 and can be peeled from the sheet 2. Adsorption sticking device 4
The cylinder 24 is moved horizontally, and the cylinder 25 is moved vertically. And, although not shown in the drawing, the suction and sticking device 4 is approximately 90 ° about the horizontal horizontal axis.
It is designed to be able to rotate.

As described above, the feeding device 3 for feeding the sheets 2 to which the nameplates 1 such as labels are attached with appropriate intervals.
And a receiving table 8 for receiving the sheet 2 sent by the feeding device 3.
And a sending position correcting means 7 for detecting the position of the nameplate 1 on the receiving table 8 in the sending direction and correcting the sending position to the reference position.
Then, the left and right position correcting means 9 for changing the left and right position of the sheet 2 by detecting the position shift of the name plate 1 of the sheet 2 on the pedestal 8, and the name plate 1 whose position has been corrected is sucked from the sheet 2. By providing the suction sticking device 4 for peeling off and peeling the work, and sticking the nameplate 1 to the work, the sending position of the nameplate 1 sent on the pedestal 8 together with the sheet 2 by the sending device 3 is corrected. The means 7 corrects the position in the sending direction to the reference position, and the lateral position correcting means 9 corrects the lateral position to the reference position. In this way, the nameplate 1 positioned at the correct position is adsorbed by the adsorbing and adhering device 4 and adhered to the work a such as an earth leakage breaker.

By the way, according to the present invention, the nameplate 1 which is positioned on the pedestal 8 in the feeding direction and the left-right direction is sucked by the suction sticking device 4 and peeled off from the sheet 2. Is satisfactorily separated from the sheet 2 with a small suction force. The configuration will be described in detail below. As shown in FIG. 1, the base plate 18 that supports the pedestal 8 so as to be movable in the left-right direction is provided with a guide rod 2 for a holding plate 28.
The cylinder 26 can be retracted and moved in a substantially horizontal direction toward the downstream side in the sheet feeding direction via the cylinder 7. Then, using the suction sticking device 4, the nameplate 1
In order to peel off the sheet 2 from the sheet 2, the holding plate 28 together with the pedestal 8 is moved backward in a substantially horizontal direction while the nameplate 1 is sucked by the suction sticking device 4. As a result, the sheet 2 is pulled down obliquely downward with respect to the nameplate 1 adsorbed by the adsorbing and pasting device 4,
In this way, by pulling down the seat 2 diagonally downward,
The name plate 1 can be satisfactorily peeled from the sheet 2 even with a small suction force of the suction sticking device 4.

In the embodiment, the suction sticking device 4 is rotated by about 90 ° to stick the nameplate 1 to the work a, but the suction sticking device 4 is moved in parallel to move the nameplate 1. It may be attached to the work a. And
It goes without saying that the work a may have any shape.
