Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a rewinder, and more particularly to a rewinder for winding up tape-like release paper with a large number of labels attached thereto, which is discharged from a label printer, into a roll. [Background technology]

[0002] A conventional rewinder of this type is a winding device configured as follows: This winding device is roughly composed of a winding unit with a winding shaft that is driven and rotated by a motor, a receiving unit that receives information supplied from the printer, a winding amount calculation unit that calculates the amount of paper wound by the winding unit based on the information received by the receiving unit, and a control unit that controls the rotation speed of the motor based on the calculation result of the winding amount calculation unit (see Patent Document 1).

[0003] In a winding device configured in this manner, the winding amount calculation unit calculates the winding amount of the winding unit based on the information received by the receiving unit, and the control unit controls the rotation speed of the motor based on the calculation results, thereby ensuring uniform winding tension on the roll onto which the release paper is wound.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, in Figures 1 to 7, reference numeral 11 denotes a rewinder, which is a manual rewinder 11 for winding up tape-like release paper onto which a large number of labels are attached, discharged from a label printer, into a roll. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the components of a roll forming section 14 of a rewinder 11 separated from one another. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the rewinder 11, and FIG. 3 is a front view of the rewinder 11, both of which show a state in which a cardboard tube 24 having a length of 60 mm is attached. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the rewinder 11, and FIG. 5 is a front view of the rewinder 11, both of which show a state in which a cardboard tube 24 having a length of 30 mm is attached. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the rewinder 11, and FIG. 7 is a front view of the rewinder 11, both of which show a state in which a cardboard tube 24 having a length of 100 mm is attached.

[0016] As shown in Figure 1, the rewinder 11 is composed of a fixing clamp section 12 that can be attached or detached freely to the top plate of a workbench (not shown), a support section 13 that is connected to the clamp section 12 and has a U-shape, and a release paper roll forming section 14 that is attached to the tip side support 13c of the support section 13 and is rotated manually.

[0017] The clamp portion 12 is composed of a U-shaped main body portion 15 and a screw member 16 . The main body 15 is formed integrally with an upper piece 15a, a connecting piece 15b, and a lower piece 15c, and has a U-shape. An anti-slip member 34 made of rubber or the like is provided on the inner side of the connecting piece 15b. The screw member 16 includes a rotary knob portion 17, a screw shaft 18 that stands on the rotary knob portion 17 and is screwed into the lower piece 15c, and a pressing portion 19 that is provided at the upper end of the screw shaft 18. A male screw groove is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the screw shaft 18, and a female screw groove is formed in the screw hole of the lower piece 15c (also not shown), and the two are screwed together.

[0018] The clamp unit 12 configured in this manner can be easily attached and installed by inserting the main body 15 into the workbench top plate (not shown) so that it is clamped therebetween, turning the rotary knob 17 to raise the screw shaft 18, and firmly pressing the pressing unit 19 against the underside of the top plate, thereby easily attaching and installing the rewinder 11.

[0019] The support portion 13 is provided with a base side support 13a that is connected to the clamp portion 12 (upper piece 15a of the main body portion 15) and arranged horizontally, a vertical support 13b that is connected to the base side support 13a and arranged vertically, and a tip side support 13c that is connected to the vertical support 13b and arranged horizontally, and is formed into an overall U-shape. A predetermined distance L is maintained between the base-side support 13a and the tip-side support 13c by the length of the vertical support 13b. In this way, the predetermined distance L maintained is a distance that allows the paper tube holders (inner paper tube holder 23 and outer paper tube holder 25) of the roll forming unit 14 to rotate with ease, and by maintaining the predetermined distance L, the paper tube holders can rotate easily. In other words, the paper core holders (the inner paper core holder 23 and the outer paper core holder 25) can be easily rotated manually, and the tape-like release paper can be wound up in a roll.

[0020] As shown in Figure 1, the roll forming unit 14 includes a first fixed metal fitting 20 fixed to the tip side support 13c, a first spring 21 adjacent to the first fixed metal fitting 20, a first movable metal fitting 22 adjacent to the first spring 21, a disk-shaped inner cardboard tube holder 23 adjacent to the first movable metal fitting 22, a cardboard tube 24 adjacent to the inner cardboard tube holder 23 and for winding up the release paper, a disk-shaped outer cardboard tube holder 25 adjacent to the cardboard tube 24, a second movable metal fitting 26 adjacent to the outer cardboard tube holder 25, a second spring 27 adjacent to the second movable metal fitting 26, and a second fixed metal fitting 28 adjacent to the second spring 27. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 29 denotes a first decorative screw for fixing the first fixing bracket 20 to the tip-side support 13c, and reference numeral 30 denotes a second decorative screw for fixing the second fixing bracket 28 to the tip-side support 13c.

[0021] By configuring the roll forming unit 14 in this way, it is possible to remove the second fixing metal fitting 28, take out the cardboard tube 24, and replace it with a cardboard tube 24 of a selected length. In other words, the cardboard tube 24 can be easily replaced. In this case, when the second decorative screw 30 is removed, the elastic force of the second spring 27 and the first spring 21 pushes the second fixing bracket 28, the outer cardboard tube holder 25, the cardboard tube 24, the inner cardboard tube holder 23, etc. outward, and the pushed-out cardboard tube 24 can then be replaced. In this way, the cardboard tube 24 is configured so that the length can be selected according to the width of the release paper, and the cardboard tube 24 of the length corresponding to the width of the release paper can be selectively attached, which ultimately makes it possible to form rolls of a variety of lengths. Figures 2 and 3 show the state where a 60 mm long cardboard tube 24 is attached, Figures 4 and 5 show the state where a 30 mm long cardboard tube 24 is attached, and Figures 6 and 7 show the state where a 100 mm long cardboard tube 24 is attached.

[0022] 1, a rotary lever 32 is provided near the outer periphery of the outer cardboard core holder 25 via a fixed rotary shaft 31. Reference numerals 33, 33 in FIG. 1 indicate screws for attaching the fixed rotary shaft 31.

[0023] In this way, by providing the rotating lever 32 near the outer periphery of the outer cardboard tube holder 25, the cardboard tube 24 and the inner cardboard tube holder 23 can be manually rotated by gripping the rotating lever 32 with one's hand and rotating the outer cardboard tube holder 25.

[0024] The rewinder 11 configured as described above is a manual rewinder 11 consisting of a clamp section 12, a support section 13, and a roll forming section 14, and therefore has a compact structure, is easy to carry, and can be easily attached to a suitable location such as a workbench or desk. In addition, the structure is not complicated, so manufacturing costs can be kept low, and the price can be set low.Furthermore, since it is manual and does not require a power source, running costs can be kept low.
