Abstract

A head of a tag device having a body, at least one row of negative-pressure through holes and at least one row of positive-pressure through holes. The body has a first surface and a second surface. The rows of negative and positive-pressure through holes are formed through the first and second surfaces of the body and arranged along a long-axis direction. Two negative and positive-pressure through holes at both ends of the corresponding row of negative and positive-pressure through holes are respectively close to the short sides of the body. Therefore, an effective labeling area is distributed between two short sides. The head of the tag device of the present invention provides a stable labeling operation for different products where different components are mounted and increases units per hour (UPH).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A head of a tag device, comprising:
a body having a first surface, a second surface, two opposite long sides and two opposite short sides;
at least one row of negative-pressure through holes formed through the first surface to the second surface of the body and arranged along a long-axis direction of the body, wherein two negative-pressure through holes at both ends of the row of negative-pressure through holes are respectively close to the short sides; and
at least one row of positive-pressure through holes formed through the first surface to the second surface of the body and arranged along a long-axis direction of the body, wherein two positive-pressure through holes at both ends of the row of positive-pressure through holes are respectively close to the short sides.

2. The head of the tag device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the at least one row of negative-pressure through holes are arranged equidistantly along the long-axis direction;
the at least one row of positive-pressure through holes are arranged equidistantly along the long-axis direction;
an amount of the positive-pressure through holes in each row of positive-pressure through holes is larger than that of the negative-pressure through holes in each row of negative-pressure through holes; and
the two positive-pressure through holes at both ends of the corresponding row of positive-pressure through holes are respectively closer to the short sides of the body than the negative-pressure through holes at both ends of the corresponding row of negative-pressure through holes.

3. The head of the tag device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
a single row of negative-pressure through holes formed through a middle area of the body and arranged along the long-axis direction; and
two rows of positive-pressure through holes respectively arranged on two sides of the single row of negative-pressure through holes and being respectively close to the long sides of the body.

4. The head of the tag device as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:
a single row of negative-pressure through holes formed through a middle area of the body and arranged along the long-axis direction; and
two rows of positive-pressure through holes respectively arranged on two sides of the single row of negative-pressure through holes and being respectively close to the long sides of the body.

5. The head of the tag device as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising:
a plurality of first connectors respectively mounted on the first surface of the body and respectively communicated with the corresponding negative-pressure through holes; and
a plurality of second connectors respectively mounted on the first surface of the body and respectively communicated with the corresponding positive-pressure through holes.

6. The head of the tag device as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising:
a plurality of first connectors respectively mounted on the first surface of the body and respectively communicated with the corresponding negative-pressure through holes; and
a plurality of second connectors respectively mounted on the first surface of the body and respectively communicated with the corresponding positive-pressure through holes.

7. The head of the tag device as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising:
at least one negative-pressure air pipe inserted into the corresponding first connector to communicate with the corresponding negative-pressure through hole; and
at least one positive-pressure air pipe inserted into the corresponding second connector to communicate with the corresponding positive-pressure through hole.

8. The head of the tag device as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising:
at least one negative-pressure air pipe inserted into the corresponding first connector to communicate with the corresponding negative-pressure through hole; and
at least one positive-pressure air pipe inserted into the corresponding second connector to communicate with the corresponding positive-pressure through hole.
