Here, the structure of the stamp unit provided with the stamp material and the stamp body 7 used in the stamp producing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment will be described. The printing material used here is, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 9-24998 filed by the present applicant.
No. 3, a lower layer made of a soft porous resin (for example, urethane-based resin) in which a light energy absorbing material such as carbon black is dispersed, and a lower layer that stores ink and forms a lower layer. This is a stamping material having a two-layer structure including an upper layer made of a hard porous resin (for example, polyvinyl formal) that enables uniform application of pressure.

When light is selectively irradiated through a transparent original film (positive original) on which a positive image is printed in a state where the printing material is compressed, the lower side irradiated with light corresponding to the transparent portion of the original is obtained. The portion of the layer is solidified after being melted by the heat-generating action of the light energy absorbing substance, so that it is sealed and does not transmit ink. On the other hand, the lower layer portion corresponding to the printed portion of the document is not not only irradiated with light but also is not melted and solidified by conduction heat from the printed portion of the document,
The original remains without being sealed in accordance with the characters of the original. As a result, a stamp is formed in which the seal portion (non-print portion) and the non-seal portion (print portion) of the desired pattern are mixed on the lower surface of the printing material.

The stamping material (not shown) is provided on the lower surface of the stamp body 7 by thermal bonding so that ink does not leak from the peripheral edge. The ink is stored in an upper layer made of a hard porous resin of a printing material. Accordingly, when the gripping member 112 is pressed down and the printing material comes into contact with the printing paper with the cap member 116 removed during stamp printing, the ink supplied from above the printing material oozes out only from the non-seal portion of the lower layer of the printing material. The desired image adheres to the printing paper, and the desired image is stamp-printed.

As shown in FIG. 5, one wedge-shaped inclined groove 43 and three concave detection grooves 44 at both sides of the inclined groove 43 are provided below the side surface of the stamp body 7. . The number and position pattern of the detection grooves 44 are made different depending on the type of the stamp body 7 having different sizes.

The printing material is set at a position where the printing material is compressed by a predetermined amount.

Next, the size detecting mechanism of the stamp body 7 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 15 is a plan view schematically showing a state where the stamp body 7 is set at a predetermined plate making position of the stamp accommodating section 70, FIG. 16 is a side view, and FIGS. 17 and 18 are sectional views. As described above, while the inclined groove 43 and the detection groove 44 are provided in the stamp body 7, the presence or absence of the mounting of the stamp body 7 in the stamp storage portion 70 in cooperation with the inclined groove 43 and the detection groove 44. And a mechanism for identifying stamp bodies 7 of various sizes.

15 to 18, the stamp housing 7 is fixed to the stamp housing 70 by sandwiching the stamp body 7 from both sides.
Two holder fixing members 71 and 72 are provided. The holder fixing member 71 is fixed in the stamp storage unit 70, and a switch plate 74 fastened and fixed by three screws 73 is disposed inside the holder fixing member 71. One end of the switch plate 74 (the side facing the stamp body 7)
On the upper surface of the six micro switches 75A, 75B,
75C, 75D, 75E, and 75F are arranged. Each micro switch 75A, 75B, 75C, 75
The switch terminals 76 of D, 75E, and 75F are urged toward the stamp body 7, and protrude toward the stamp body 7 when the stamp body 7 is not mounted. Micro switch 75A, 75B, 75C, 75E, 75F
Is used to detect the type of the stamp body 7 based on a combination of on and off when the stamp body 7 is set in the stamp storage unit 70. The microswitch 75D is used to determine whether or not the stamp body 7 has been mounted and to determine whether the position is appropriate.

At a position substantially at the center of the holder fixing member 71 in the longitudinal direction, a positioning projection 77 having a shape coinciding with the inclined groove 43 of the stamp body 7 is provided above the microswitch 75D on the side end surface of the fixing member 71. Are formed. At a position corresponding to the positioning projection 77 on the upper surface of the fixing member 71, a set mark M serving as an index when setting the stamp body 7 is provided. The fixing member 72 is provided movably with respect to the fixing member 71, and is urged in the upward direction (the direction of the arrow) in FIG. 15 by an urging spring (not shown).

In order to set the stamp body 7 at a predetermined plate making position with respect to the stamp accommodating portion 70, first, the fixing member 72 is moved downward in FIG. 15 against the urging force of the urging spring. Open the storage unit 70. Then, using the set mark M as a rough guide, the stamp main body 7 is placed in the holder storage section 7 so that the substantially central position (the position of the inclined groove 43) in the longitudinal direction of the stamp main body 7 matches the positioning projection 77.
0, the fixing member 72 is moved upward in FIG.
In between.

At this time, since both sides of the inclined groove 43 are inclined surfaces, even if the positional relationship between the center position in the longitudinal direction of the stamp body 7 and the set mark M is slightly displaced, the stamp accommodating portion 70 can be used. Based on a cam action generated between the positioning protrusion 77 formed on the fixing member 71 and the inclined surface of the inclined groove 43, the stamp body 7
7 is moved so as to contact the center position of the inclined groove 43. As a result, the stamp body 7 is set at a predetermined plate making position in the stamp storage unit 70. In this state, a printing plate is formed on the printing material held on the lower surface of the stamp body 7.

As shown in FIG. 15, when the stamp body 7 is set in the stamp accommodating portion 70, the positioning projection 77
Is in contact with the inclined groove 43, and the switch terminal 76 of the microswitch 75D is in contact with the outer peripheral wall of the stamp body 7 and is in the moved position. In addition, micro switches 75A, 75
The switch terminal 76 of F is in the moved position in contact with the outer peripheral wall of the stamp body 7. On the other hand, the microswitch 75
The switch terminals 76 of B, 75C, and 75E are in the protruding positions that have entered the detection grooves 44 as shown in FIG. That is, the micro switches 75A and 75F are on, and the micro switches 75B, 75C and 75E are off. The type of the stamp body 7 and the size of the stamp material can be detected by the combination of ON / OFF of each micro switch. Further, since the microswitch 75D is in the ON state, the stamp storage unit 7
It is detected that the presence / absence and position of the stamp body 7 within 0 are proper.

As shown in FIG. 15, the inclined groove 43 and the detection groove 44 are formed on both longitudinal outer peripheral walls of the stamp body 7 at rotationally symmetric positions.
This is because the inclined groove 43 and the detection groove 44 can be detected even when the front wall and the rear wall are reversed when the stamp body 7 is set at the predetermined plate making position of the stamp storage unit 70 of the stamp making device 1. It is.

Next, the stamp making apparatus 1 of the present embodiment
Will be described. FIG. 19 is a schematic block diagram of the stamp creation device 1 of the present embodiment. FIG.

U200 includes a temperature sensor 130 and a humidity sensor 132
A PC interface control circuit 203 for exchanging data with the personal computer 201, a thermal head control circuit 205 for driving and controlling the thermal head 5, a ROM 212, a RAM 214, and an EEPROM.
OM 216, a stamp size detection sensor 140 for detecting the size of the stamp body 7 attached to the stamp storage 70, and thus the size of the stamp material, and a photosensor PS 1
And an identification means 222 for recognizing the above-mentioned light amount instruction section 48 and identifying five xenon tube ranks, and a xenon tube light emission control circuit L are connected.

The xenon tube light emission control circuit L includes a xenon tube 11, a light emitting capacitor 224 for storing electric charge for causing the xenon tube 11 to emit light, a xenon tube light emitting circuit 210 for actually causing the xenon tube 11 to emit light, A xenon tube light emitting capacitor charging circuit 218 for charging the light emitting capacitor 224 and a xenon tube light emitting capacitor charging voltage detecting circuit 220 for detecting the voltage charged in the light emitting capacitor 224 are provided.

Various control processing programs are stored in the ROM 212, and the CPU 200 performs various operations in accordance with these control processing programs. Also, RA
The calculation result calculated by the CPU 200 is temporarily stored in M214. In addition, in the EEPROM 216, in addition to a data table including a capacity rank of the light emitting capacitor 224, a charging voltage calculation formula of the light emitting capacitor 224 and the like are stored in a rewritable manner by a user.

The capacity rank of the light-emitting capacitor 224 stored in the EEPROM 216 is obtained by dividing the capacity of the light-emitting capacitor 224 measured in advance into three, a to c, according to its size. The data table stored in the EEPROM 216 includes xenon tube ranks A to E in which the light emission performance of the xenon tube is ranked in ascending order as shown in Table 1 and the light amount of the xenon tube is corrected to a standard value. The median value of the capacitance C of the light emitting capacitor 224 as shown in the following Table 2 is 10,000 μF, 10500 μF, 11
The light emitting capacitor 224 is set to a,
b and c include those classified into three.

[0062]

[Table 1]

[0063]

[Table 2]

The EEPROM 216 stores a voltage conversion formula for converting the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 130 into a voltage as shown in the following expression (1).
(V: voltage conversion value, p, q: p << q with positive constant) V = p × (25−t) ² + q × (25−t) (1)

The EEPROM 216 stores a table for correcting the charging voltage value based on the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 132 as shown in Table 3 below. That is, if the detected humidity is less than 50%, the charging voltage is not corrected because the influence on the sealing result is small, and if the detected humidity is 50% or more and less than 70%, the charging voltage is increased by +5.
V, and if 70% or more, the charging voltage is set to + 10V. Note that the voltage correction value is not a fixed value, but may be a function such as the size of the printing material.

[0066]

[Table 3]

Further, the EEPROM 216 stores a voltage conversion formula for converting the capacitor capacitance C into a voltage as shown in the following expression (2). (K: negative constant) V = kC (2)

The formula for calculating the charging voltage of the light emitting capacitor 224 stored in the EEPROM 216 is shown by the following formula (3). (Charging voltage) = (Reference voltage for each size) x (Xenon tube light quantity correction coefficient) + (Voltage conversion value for capacitor capacitance) + (Voltage conversion value for temperature change) + (Voltage correction value for humidity) (3) )

Here, the reference voltage for each size is set so as to increase as the size of the stamp body 7 and hence the size of the stamp material increases. The reason is,
This is because even if the size of the stamping material becomes large, light is uniformly irradiated over the entire surface of the stamping material. Further, the reason why the voltage conversion value of the capacitor capacity is decreased with the increase of the capacitor capacity is that the capacitor capacity and the charging voltage have a negative correlation under a constant light emission energy.

The reason why the charging voltage is lowered as the ambient temperature of the printing material becomes higher than around 25 ° C. is to reduce the luminous energy of the xenon tube 11 so as to eliminate the influence of the ambient temperature on the meltability of the printing material. That's why. In other words, the higher the ambient temperature, the easier the stamp material is to melt. Therefore, when the ambient temperature is high, the printing material is melted more than necessary unless the driving voltage of the xenon tube 11 is reduced. Conversely, when the ambient temperature is low, melting becomes insufficient unless the driving voltage of the xenon tube 11 is increased. This is because in any case, the quality of the sealing result is deteriorated.

The reason why the charging voltage is increased as the ambient humidity of the stamp material becomes higher is that the higher the humidity, the more moisture contained in the stamp material. This is because a large amount of energy is required to evaporate. In other words, since the stamp material becomes less soluble as the ambient humidity increases, the required melting amount cannot be obtained unless the driving voltage of the xenon tube 11 is increased when the ambient humidity is high. This is because the ink oozes out and the quality of the result of the seal is deteriorated.

The CPU 200 obtains a voltage conversion value of the temperature change amount from the ambient temperature of the printing material detected by the temperature sensor 130 based on the equation (1), and obtains a [table value] from the ambient humidity of the printing material detected by the humidity sensor 132. 3], a voltage correction value based on humidity is obtained. Further, the CPU 200
The size of the stamp body 7 detected by the stamp size detection sensor 140, the voltage conversion value of the temperature change amount obtained from the equation (1), the voltage correction value based on the humidity obtained from [Table 3], and stored in the EEPROM 216. Based on the determined capacity rank of the light emitting capacitor 224 and the light emitting performance rank of the xenon tube 11 identified by the identification means 222, the charging voltage of the light emitting capacitor 224 is calculated based on equation (2).

As described above, in the stamp making apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the charging voltage of the light emitting capacitor 224 depends on the size of the stamp material, the light amount ratio of the xenon tube 11 (light emitting performance), the capacity of the capacitor 222, It is determined based on the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity of the printing material. These EEPR
The table and calculation formula stored in the OM 216 indicate that the xenon tube 11 has an appropriate amount of light (emission energy = (1/2) × (capacitor capacity) in accordance with the size of the stamp material, ambient temperature and humidity, xenon tube light emission performance, and capacitor capacity. ) × (charging voltage) ² ) It is predetermined so as to irradiate light.

In the present invention, the CPU 200 and the xenon tube light emission capacitor charging circuit 218 and the xenon tube light emission capacitor charging voltage detection circuit 220 of the xenon tube light emission control circuit L constitute voltage control means.

Next, the stamp creating apparatus 1 of the present embodiment
Will be described with reference to FIG. 20, which is an operation flowchart of the stamp creating apparatus 1. The following operation is executed by an instruction from the CPU 200 unless otherwise specified.

First, when an instruction for original printing and plate making is received from the personal computer 201, step S is executed.
In step 1, stamp data is received from the personal computer 201. Then, in step S2, the charging voltage of the light emitting capacitor 224 is obtained based on the equation (2).

Next, in step S3, the xenon tube light emitting capacitor charging circuit 218 is supplied to step S2.
A light-emitting capacitor charge signal including the charge voltage of the light-emitting capacitor 224 obtained in the step is given.
24 is started. Then, in step S4, the thermal head 5 and a step motor (not shown) are driven, and a positive document is printed on the upper surface of the document film 8 according to the received data of the stamp surface shape.

Next, in step S5, the step motor is driven so that the printed original film 8 reaches the predetermined plate making position, and it is determined whether the original film has moved to the predetermined position. If it is determined that the original film has moved to the predetermined position (S5: YES), step S5 is performed.
Proceeding to 6, it is determined from the detection signal from the photo sensor PS1 whether the upper cover 36 and the upper front cover 106 (main cover) are closed. This step S6 is repeated until it is determined that the main cover is closed (S6: NO).

Next, when it is determined that the main cover is closed (S6: YES), it is determined in step S7 whether the stamp body 7 is set in the stamp storage unit 70. Here, when the detection voltage of the stamp size detection sensor 140 is higher than the minimum level by a predetermined value or more, it is determined that the stamp body 7 is set. If it is determined that the stamp body 7 is set (S7: YES), then, in step S8, whether the stamp size is correct, that is, the size of the stamp body 7 detected by the stamp size detection sensor 140 is determined. Then, it is determined whether or not the size matches the size of the document data given from personal computer 201. If it is determined that the stamp size is correct (S8: Y
ES), and proceed to step S9.

Next, in step S9, it is determined whether the light emitting capacitor 224 has been charged to the predetermined charging voltage obtained in step S2, that is, whether the charging of the light emitting capacitor 224 has been completed. Lighting capacitor 22
The charging voltage of No. 4 is detected by the xenon tube light emitting capacitor charging voltage detecting circuit 220. When the detected voltage hardly changes and becomes substantially equal to the charging voltage obtained in step S2, the xenon tube light emitting capacitor is used. A capacitor charging completion signal is supplied from the capacitor charging voltage detection circuit 220 to the CPU 200. The CPU 200 determines whether the charging of the light emitting capacitor 224 has been completed by detecting the capacitor charging completion signal.

When it is determined that the charging of the light emitting capacitor 224 has been completed (S9: YES), the process proceeds to step S9.
At 10, the xenon tube light emission signal is applied to the xenon tube light emission circuit 210, the xenon tube 11 emits light, and the stamping material arranged on the lower surface of the stamp body 7 is made into a plate to form a desired plate. When it is determined “NO” in any of the steps S5, S7, S8, and S9, the light emission of the xenon tube 11 is stopped (step S1).
1), this process ends. Thus, the xenon tube 11
When performing stamp plate making by emitting light, a number of checks are performed to prevent a situation in which a useless plate making operation is performed due to an erroneous operation.

When a command to print a label is received from the personal computer 201, the supply port 3
The print surface data is printed positively by the thermal head 5 of the printing unit 4 on the cut sheet CS supplied from the printer.

As described above, according to the stamp making apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the light emitting capacitor 2 of the xenon tube 11 is used.
Since the charging voltage of 24 is controlled according to the ambient temperature and ambient humidity of the stamp material, the size of the stamp material, the capacity rank of the light emitting capacitor 224, and the light emission performance rank of the xenon tube 11,
Capacitance rank of light emitting capacitor 224, xenon tube 11
Irrespective of the light emitting performance rank and the ambient temperature and ambient humidity of the printing material, an appropriate amount of light according to the size of the printing material can be given to the printing material. Therefore, the unevenness of the printing plate formed by one stamping apparatus can be always made uniform over the entire printing material regardless of the size of the printing material.

In particular, in the present embodiment, not only the temperature but also the humidity is detected, and the charging voltage of the capacitor is determined in consideration of the detected humidity, so that a finer dot interval (for example, 600 dpi) can be used depending on the printing material. Even when an image is formed, a stamp with better image quality can be obtained as compared with a case where humidity is not considered.

Further, since the stamp surface shape can be determined based on data from the personal computer 201, any data that can be output to a printer, such as characters created by a word processor and image information captured by a digital camera or the like, can be used. It can be used, and a variety of stamp surface shapes can be easily produced.

Further, the stamp making apparatus 1 of the present embodiment
In the above, the tables described above and the equations (1), (2),
Since (3) is stored in the EEPROM 216, it can be rewritten by the user. Therefore, by rewriting these, it is possible to cope with a use state or an environmental change.

Further, the stamp creating apparatus 1 of the present embodiment
In the above, since the correction coefficient of the light emission performance (light amount ratio) of the xenon tube 11, the voltage of the capacitor and the voltage correction value based on the humidity are stored in the EEPROM 216 in an appropriate number, they are processed without being classified. As compared with the case, the calculation load on the CPU 200 can be reduced, the calculation speed is increased, and the applied voltage can be found in a very short time.

The above-described embodiment can be variously modified. For example, the charging voltage of the capacitor 224 may be controlled only by the capacitor capacity stored in the EEPROM 216 or only by the detected ambient humidity of the printing material. Even in this case, although it is inferior to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to form a stamp having a printing plate with a relatively uniform unevenness by compensating for variations in the capacitor capacity of each device or changes in the ambient humidity of the printing material. become able to.

In the above-described embodiment, the light emission performance of the xenon tube 11 is instructed by the light amount instructing section 48. However, the light emission performance of the xenon tube 11 may be stored in the EEPROM 216.
