The apparatus for manufacturing a roller stamp according to the present invention comprises:
Having the configuration as described above, such a manufacturing apparatus is used by being incorporated into a vending machine.
The operation of the manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention will be described. First, a roller stamp R in which a stamp surface is not formed on the stamp member 3,
When the power is turned on to the manufacturing apparatus in a state of being stored in the storage section 14a of the stock section 14, an initial operation is performed. Then, in this initial operation, the motor 16 for moving the stock unit 14 is driven, and as shown in FIG.
The stock unit 14 moves to the rightmost end, and is detected by the detection member 27, so that the stock unit 14 is at the home position and the protrusion 1 of the storage unit 14a located at the leftmost end.
4c is in a state in which the detection member 25 is actuated, and the storage portion 14a takes a position facing the notch portion 13a of the plate portion 13. Further, in this initial operation, the motor 36 is driven to move the transport member 33 once to the leftmost position (discharge operation) as shown in FIG. 14, and when the operating piece 33e is detected in FIG. Member 4
3, the detection member 43 issues a command to return the unloading member 33 to the home position, so that the motor 36 rotates a predetermined number of times in the opposite direction to that described above, and as shown in FIG. This is the home position of the transport member 33. That is, this unloading operation can prevent a malfunction when the roller stamp R is present in the lower receiving portion 33b of the conveying member 33.

Next, the user inputs desired stamp surface forming data to a control unit (not shown). Then, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 11, the detection member 26 detects the presence / absence of the roller stamp R through the hole 14e of the storage portion 14a located at the leftmost end. If there is no roller stamp R, the motor 16 is driven to move the stock portion 14 in the direction of arrow X1, and the next protrusion 14c of the storage portion 14a is detected by the detection member 25, and Movement stops. At this time, the second storage portion 14a takes a position facing the notch portion 13a, and in this state, the presence or absence of the roller stamp R in the second storage portion 14a is detected. The part 14a is to be selected. When the roller stamp R is present, the motor 36 rotates a predetermined number of times, and
3 moves from the home position of FIG. 11 in the direction of arrow Y2, and as shown in FIG.
a comes out of the storage section 14a. At this time, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, the roller stamp R falls into the lower receiving portion 33b by its own weight, and only one roller stamp R is received by the receiving portion 33b.

Next, in a state where the motor 36 rotates in the opposite direction to the above and the roller stamp R is received by the lower receiving portion 33b, the transport member 33 is moved to the position shown in FIG.
While moving in the direction of the arrow Y1, the motor 56 for the stamp surface forming member K is driven to rotate the gear body 54 in the clockwise direction (the direction of the arrow Z). During this movement, the side surface of the case 1 of the roller stamp R is formed by a pair of guide members 28.
13, the seesaw member 44 collides with the roller stamp R, and the front portion is pushed downward to perform a seesaw motion, as shown in FIG. Further, when the transport member 33 moves forward, the roller stamp R is pushed between the narrow portions of the side portions 28a of the pair of guide members 28, moves in a support state without play, and guides during the movement. Part 3
3d hits the lever 30 and rotates the lever 30 against the spring 32, whereby the pressing member 29 is rotated, and the roller stamp R is transferred to the lower receiving portion 33b on the lower surface of the pressing member 29. The pressing operation is performed.

When the conveying member 33 further moves forward, as shown in FIG. 14, the roller stamp R comes off from the open portion of the storage portion 14a, and the upper receiving portion 33a is located at the open portion. The gear body 54 that prevents the stamp R from dropping and that is rotated clockwise.
Then, the gear portion 2c of the roller stamp R is meshed while being pushed backward, and the stamp member 3 collides with the thermal head 51, and presses the thermal head 51 forward. Then, the movable body 47 to which the thermal head 51 is attached moves forward against the spring 50 using the guide rod 49 and the pin 48 as a guide, so that the operating portion 53a of the detection member 53 operates, and the detection member 53 Operates. Also,
At this time, the operation piece 33e of the transport member 33 in FIG.
Upon hitting the detection member 43, the detection member 43 stops driving the motor 36 and stops moving the transport member 33. next,
When the detection member 53 is actuated, the motor 56 rotates in the opposite direction, that is, once the gear body 54 is rotated slightly counterclockwise in FIG. 14 to eliminate backlash with the gear portion 2c, and then again. , Clockwise (arrow Z direction)
And the stamp member 3 is rotated via the gear portion 2c, and a stamp forming instruction is sent to the thermal head 51 to form a stamp on the surface of the stamp member 3. The rotation angle of the stamp member 3 at the time of forming the stamp surface is about 372 degrees, which is about 12 degrees larger than one rotation. This is because the thermal head 5 at the start of stamping
This is to compensate for the insufficient formation of the stamp surface due to the insufficient heat generation. Further, before the stamp surface is formed, the rotation of the gear body 54 is reversed in the counterclockwise direction from the clockwise direction, thereby eliminating the backlash of the engagement with the gear portion 2c.
By reversing the counterclockwise direction from the counterclockwise direction again, the surface of the stamp member 3 pressed against the thermal head 51 can be adapted without wrinkles. Further, at this time, the seesaw member 44 is disengaged from the roller stamp R, and the seesaw member 44 self-returns, and is in a state of waiting behind the roller stamp R.

When the formation of the stamp surface is completed, the detection member 4
As shown in FIG. 15, the motor 36 is driven by the command of 3, and as shown in FIG. 15, the transport member 33 moves backward with the roller stamp R, but the roller stamp R moves backward when it hits the seesaw member 44. Stopped, transport member 33
Only retreats (moves in the direction of arrow Y2). When the roller stamp R is disengaged from the lower receiving portion 33b, the roller stamp R falls downward through the pit 10a of the base 10 by its own weight. In addition, the conveying member 33 returns to the home position shown in FIG. 11 at the command of the detecting member 43, the guide 33 d is disengaged from the lever 30, and the pressing member 29 and the lever 30 are moved by the spring 32. Return to the original state. Further, the thermal head 51 and the movable body 47 are also returned to the original state by the spring 50, the rotation of the motor 56 is stopped, and the rotation of the gear body 54 is also stopped. Then, when the user again inputs the stamp forming data to the control unit, the stamp forming is performed by the same operation and method as described above.

FIGS. 16 and 17 show the relationship between the gear 54 and the gear 2c of the roller stamp R. By providing a pair of gears 54 at an interval, the gear 54 is housed in the housing 14a. Direction of the roller stamp R, that is, the gear portion 2c can be engaged with the gear body 54 on either the left side or the right side of the case 1, and thereby the storing property of the roller stamp R is improved. Is made easier. Although not shown here, the same effect as described above can be obtained by providing gear portions 2c on both sides of the stamp member 3 and engaging the gear portions 2c with one gear body 54. When the stamp face formation data is input, the storage unit 14a to be selected is selected.
May be sequentially selected in the row direction, or may be selected until the roller stamp R of one storage unit 14a is exhausted. Further, the stock unit 14 has been described as a movable type, but it is needless to say that a fixed type may be used. Further, in the above embodiment, the thermal head 51 is moved, but it goes without saying that the roller stamp R may be moved. Then, as described above, by detecting the roller stamp R with the detection member 26, the storage unit 14 in which the roller stamp R is present is provided.
a can be reliably and easily selected, and the detecting member 25 allows one of the plurality of storage sections 14a to be cut out 13a.
And the stock section 14
Is made movable with respect to the transport member 33, so that it becomes small and compact. In addition, the transport member 33 is provided with a step portion, and is configured by an upper receiving portion 33a and a lower receiving portion 33b, so that the upper receiving portion 33a
To prevent the roller stamp R from dropping, and accept only one roller stamp R in the lower receiving portion 33b.
The pushing operation can be reliably performed with a simple configuration. Further, since the seesaw member 44 is configured to perform the seesaw motion by its own weight, its structure is simple, and the seesaw member 44 is provided in the movement path of the transport member 33 to return the roller stamp R. Movement is prevented, and the lower receiving section 3
3b, it is possible to obtain a simple and small discharge structure.

Since the pair of guide members 28 are wide near the stock portion 14 and narrow near the stamp surface forming member K, the roller stamp R can easily fall into the lower receiving portion 33b. Further, at the time of forming the stamped surface, the support of the roller stamp R is strengthened, and a stamp having a good stamped surface can be obtained. In addition, by providing the pressing member 29, the support of the roller stamp R at the time of forming the stamped surface is ensured, and a good stamped surface is obtained. Further, the pressing member 29 is interlocked with the movement of the transport member 33. Since the roller stamp R is pressed, the configuration is simple and a small one can be obtained. Also,
The gear body 54 meshes with the gear portion 2c of the roller stamp R while rotating, so that the meshing is smooth, and the rotation of the gear body 54 is in the direction (arrow Z direction) separating the gear portion 2c from the thermal head 51. Because of this, excessive force is not applied to both at the time of meshing, the damage of the teeth can be prevented, and further, before the stamp surface is formed after the stamp member 3 abuts on the thermal head 51, the gear body 54 is once opposed. Because it rotates in the direction, it eliminates the backlash of meshing,
Accurate engagement can be achieved, and rotation again in the opposite direction (arrow Z direction). Therefore, the surface of the stamp member 3 that has come into contact with the thermal head 51 is wrinkled. Can eliminate wrinkles,
Good stamping surface formation can be obtained.

Can be provided. In addition, since the stamp surface can be formed by engaging the gear portion 2c of the roller stamp R with the gear body 54 and rotating the stamp member 3, the stamp surface can be formed immediately for each roller stamp R, and is used for a vending machine. An extremely suitable device can be provided. In addition, the conveying member 33 is provided with a step portion and is configured by an upper receiving portion 33a and a lower receiving portion 33b, thereby preventing the roller stamp R from dropping at the upper receiving portion 33a, and a lower receiving portion 33b. The receiving and pushing operation of only one roller stamp R can be reliably performed with a simple configuration. In addition, a plurality of storage sections 14a
Is made movable with respect to the transport member 33, so that a large number of roller stamps R can be stored and a small and compact device can be provided. Further, since the stock portion 14 having the plurality of storage portions 14a is movable and the upper receiving portion 33a prevents the roller stamp R from falling, it prevents the roller stamp R from falling when the stock portion 14 moves. It is possible to provide an inexpensive device having a simple operability and a simple configuration. Also,
Since the seesaw member 44 is provided in the movement path of the conveying member 33 to prevent the roller stamp R from moving backward and drop it from the lower receiving portion 33b, a simple and small discharge structure can be obtained. Further, the seesaw member 44
Is designed to perform a seesaw motion under its own weight, so that it is possible to provide an inexpensive device with a simple configuration, good assemblability, and low cost.
