[Prior Art] Φ For example, a timer generally used for managing the working hours is a configuration in which a card transport mechanism that transports a time card inserted into a card insertion slot to a predetermined position is carried out by a card transport mechanism. As a driving source of the timing card conveying mechanism of such a timer, there are many examples of using a stepping motor (also called a pulse motor) because of the advantages of being suitable for properly controlling the rotation angle and the long service life (for example, Patent Document 1) ). The timer disclosed in Patent Document 1 is provided below the insertion opening of the chronograph card.

Then, based on the detection of the timing card caused by the card detecting switch described above, the card transport mechanism transports the timing card to the determined position. [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the control of the card transport mechanism of the timer of Patent Document 1, -5336365, when the card transport speed is increased When the time card is ejected, the time card is moved up and down, and the card detection switch that is temporarily turned off may be turned ON again, which may cause the start of the inhalation operation of the time card. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the invention is to provide a stepping motor control device capable of achieving accurate and stable card transport control in order to increase the speed of the card transport operation. Means for Solving the Problem A stepping motor control device according to the present invention is a stepping motor control device for driving a card conveying mechanism, and is characterized in that it is provided from a card conveying operation for discharging a card to a front end of the insertion side of the card. When the portion reaches the predetermined position, the first drive pulse is supplied to the stepping motor, and after reaching the predetermined position, the second drive pulse that is slower than the pulse speed of the first drive pulse is supplied to the drive pulse supply means of the stepping motor. Further, as a configuration, the card transport operation for discharging the card may be further provided, and based on the pulse speed of the first drive pulse, the insertion side of the card is calculated from the tenth. [The required number of pulses for calculating the number of pulses required for the predetermined position, and a pulse counter for calculating the number of pulses supplied to the first drive pulse of the stepping motor; the presence or absence of the predetermined position is based on the number of pulses required The calculation result of the calculation means and the counting result of the aforementioned pulse counter are determined. Further, as a configuration, the card insertion operation for discharging the card may be further performed, and the insertion side front end portion of the card may be calculated based on the pulse speed of the first drive pulse -6 - ^1336455 The required time calculation means for the time required for the time period, the presence or absence of the supply of the first drive pulse of the stepping motor to the predetermined position is determined based on the result of the calculation and the timing result of the timer, and is related to the present invention. The timer is characterized by a stepping motor control device. Further, the computer program according to the present invention functions as a means for: after the card is used to discharge the card, the front end portion of the insertion side of the card is pulsed to the stepping electric position of the driving card conveying mechanism. The driving pulse signal supplied to the stepping motor is supplied to the stepping motor of the first driving pulse. As described above, the stepping motor according to the present invention adjusts the card conveying speed for discharging the card. Can be changed. Further, a timer that operates at a high speed by using the stepping motor control device is used. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a timer for notifying that the replacement page of the present embodiment reaches the aforementioned positioning and is used for timing the previous time; the time calculation means ◊ any of the above components is for the computer to send When the operation is started, the first driver is supplied, and the first signal giving means that the pulse rate is slow is reached. The control device, by means of the discharge stability of the card, can provide a schematic diagram of the timer 1 which can be controlled by the stepping motor to control the stepping motor to control the 1336455 Lu, Yueyi Day correction replacement page device. In Fig. 1, the 3 series timing card 2 is used for inserting the card insertion opening; 4 is the card detecting sensor for detecting when the time card 2 is inserted from the card insertion opening 3. 5 is for sucking the inserted time card 2 or a roller for pulling the inserted time card 2; 6a, 6b are a pair of left and right transport rollers. The drive (rotation) source of the 7-series roller 5 is a motor; 8 is a timing belt that conveys the driving force of the transport motor 7 to the roller 5. 9a, 9b are the pair of left and right card detection sensors for detection when the inhaled time card 2 reaches the deepest suction position. The transport motor 7 is a stepping motor (pulse motor) that rotates in a determined step unit in accordance with a given pulse signal (drive pulse). The card detecting sensor 4, 9a, 9b is used to detect the timing card 2 The front end portion is, for example, a transmissive photosensor composed of a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element (none of which is not shown). Furthermore, the type of the sensor is not particularly limited. For example, a reflective sensor light sensor does not matter. Alternatively, the switch sensor that operates by making the lever 〇N by contacting the front end of the chronograph card 2 may be used. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the stepping motor control device 2 of the present embodiment. The stepping motor control device 20 is composed of a control unit 21, a drive pulse generating unit 22, a drive unit 23, a desired pulse calculating unit 24' and a pulse counter 25, and the card detecting sensors 4, 9a, and 9b. . The control unit 21 includes a microcomputer (not shown) and a ROM for storing a program for processing a program by a microcomputer, and a RAM for using a program for processing a program by a microcomputer, and a RAM for use in a work area or the like. All control of the stepping motor control device 20 is performed. Further, when the card detecting sensors 4, 9a, 9b detect the front end portion of the time card 2, the signal from each detecting sensor is input to the control portion 21. Further, the position control information (print position information) for printing on the time card 2, and a signal (print end signal) indicating the end of the printing operation, etc., are executed by the main control unit 30 that controls the entire timer 1 (for example, by a microcomputer, The ROM, φ RAM, etc. are configured to be notified. Alternatively, the control unit 21 may be configured as one functional unit of the main control device 30. The drive pulse generating unit 22 generates a drive pulse for rotating a drive shaft (not shown) of the transport motor 7 at a predetermined rotational speed. Further, the drive pulse generating unit 22 is constituted by, for example, a oscillating circuit of a creep mode, and the pulsation control signal from the control unit 21 can adjust the drive pulse to a desired pulse speed. The drive unit 2 3 controls the rotation of the drive shaft of the transport motor 7 in accordance with the drive pulse and the control unit 21 to control the signal φ. The desired pulse calculation unit 24 follows the calculation command signal 'from the current position to the position on the transport (card transport) path from the control unit 21 (for example, a position from the central axis of the roller 5 to the card suction direction of 8 mm). The number of pulses required for the timing card 2 to be transported is calculated in accordance with the pulse speed of the drive pulse generated by the drive pulse generating unit 2 2 . Then, the calculation result is notified to the control unit 21. The pulse counter 25 counts the pulse of the drive pulse generated by the drive pulse generating unit 2 2 based on the drive pulse and the control signal ' from the control unit 21 -9 - 1336455. Then, it is counted and notified to the control unit 21. As described above, the processing procedure for the card conveyance control by the stepping motor control device 20 constructed will be described based on the flow chart of Fig. 3. The card transport control process is started from the card insertion port 3 of the timer 1 into which the time card 2 is inserted, and the front end of the time card 2 reaches the detection area of the card detecting sensor 4. More specifically, it is started when the card detecting sensor 4 detects the detection signal input from the front end portion of the time card 2 to the control unit 2 1 . First, the control unit 21 sends the oscillation start signal of the suction drive pulse to the drive pulse generation unit 22. » When the drive pulse generation unit 22 receives the oscillation start signal from the control unit 21, the suction drive for the predetermined pulse speed occurs. pulse. Further, the control unit 21 sends a suction drive control signal to the drive unit 23. The drive unit 23 that receives the suction drive control signal is supplied to the transport motor 7 by the drive pulse generating unit 22 for the extraction drive pulse (step S 3 0 1 ). When the suction drive pulse is supplied to the transport motor 7, the card transport mechanism (the roller 5 and the transport rollers 6a and 6b in this embodiment) is driven to start the intake of the time card 2. Specifically, the drive shaft (not shown) of the transport motor 7 starts to rotate, and the driving force due to the rotation is transmitted to the roller 5 via the timing belt 8. Then, the rotation of the roller 5 is started, and the inserted timing card 2 is sucked into the inside by the conveyance rollers 6a, 6b. Then, when the front end of the time card 2 reaches the deepest suction position (i.e., the deepest point) (YES in step S3 02), it is detected by the card detecting sensors 9a and 9b, and the detection signal is sent to the control unit 21. The control unit 2 1 receives the -10 - 1336455 _ sub-expansion ^ Dan>^ correction replacement page, and sends the oscillation stop signal to the drive pulse generation unit 22 after the detection signals of the card detection sensors 9a and 9b. Thereby, the supply of the suction drive control signal is stopped (step S303), and the suction process of the time card 2 is also stopped. In the stop of the suction process of the time card 2, the printing position information from the main control device 30 is notified to the control unit 21. Next, the control unit 21 performs the time card 2 pull-out control until the position (print position) of the print φ is made in the predetermined print field of the time card 2 based on the relevant print information. Specifically, the control unit 21 sends an oscillation start signal regarding the pull-out drive pulse to the drive pulse generation unit 22. The drive pulse generating unit 22 receives the oscillation start signal from the control unit 21, and generates a pull-out drive pulse. Further, the control unit 21 sends a pull-out drive control signal to the drive unit 23. The drive unit 23 that receives the pull-out drive control signal controls the transport motor 7 so that the drive shaft rotation direction of the transport motor 7 is reversed from the suction timing, and the feed motor 7 is driven by the drive pulse generating unit 22 for the pull-out drive. Pulse (step S304). When the drive pulse for the pull-out of the feed motor 7 is supplied, the drive shaft of the feed motor 7 rotates in the reverse direction at the time of suction, and the roller 5 also rotates in the reverse direction at the time of suction. Thereby the time card 2 is pulled out to the upper part. Then, when the time card 2 is pulled out to the printing position (YES in step S305), the control unit 21 sends an oscillation stop signal to the drive pulse generating unit 22. Thereby, the supply of the pull-out drive control signal is stopped (step S306), and the pull-out processing of the time card 2 is also stopped. When the pull-out processing is stopped, the printing information (not shown) is written in the printing field of the replacement page card 2 in the time stamp -11 - 1336455, and the information is written (for example, the commute information) (printing processing). . When the printing process is completed (YES in step S307), the main control unit 30 sends a printing end signal to the control unit 21. The control unit 21 receives the print end signal from the main control unit 30, and then sends a first drive pulse as a discharge drive pulse and a subsequent start start signal to the drive pulse generation unit 22. The drive pulse generating unit 22 receives the oscillation start signal from the control unit 21, and generates a first drive pulse (for example, 600 pps (pulse per second)). Moreover, the control unit 21 sends a discharge drive control signal to the drive unit 23. The drive unit 23 that receives the discharge drive control signal supplies the first drive pulse sent from the drive motor 7 by the drive pulse generating unit 22 (step S3 0 8). In this manner, the control unit 21, the drive pulse generating unit 22, and the drive unit 23 supply the first drive pulse of the transport motor 7 (step S3 08). After the supply of the first drive pulse is started, the roller 5 starts to rotate, and the timing roller 2 is conveyed toward the card insertion opening 3 to be discharged by the transport rollers 6a and 6b. In addition, the control unit 21 sends an arithmetic command signal to the desired pulse number calculation unit 24 while the first drive pulse as the discharge drive pulse and the following oscillation start signal are sent to the drive pulse generating unit 2 2 . The desired pulse number calculation unit 24 receives the calculation command signal from the control unit 21, and calculates the number of pulses (the desired number of pulses) required for the front end of the time card 2 to reach the predetermined position on the transport path (step S309). The predetermined position is set for the purpose of the discharge of the stability time card 2, and is the deceleration point of the conveyance (card conveyance) speed of the time card 2 (deceleration position - _ 1336455 _ * eve of the moon kiss correction replacement page). The deceleration position is set to a position when the timing card 2 is separated from the transport rollers 6a and 6b (for example, a position 8 mm from the central axis of the roller 5). The required pulse number calculating unit 24 is based on the obtained from the control unit 2 1 . The position information (print position information notified by the main control unit 30) and the information of the deceleration position and the pulse speed of the first drive pulse are used to calculate the desired number of pulses, and the control unit 2 1 is notified of the calculation result. φ and further the control unit 2 1 sends a count start signal to the pulse counter 25 at the same timing when the arithmetic command signal is sent to the desired pulse number calculating unit 24. The pulse counter 25 receives the count of the first drive pulse (i.e., the count of the number of pulses) generated by the drive pulse generation unit 2 when receiving the count start signal from the control unit 21 (step S 3 1 0 ). As described above, when the card transport for discharging the time card 2 is started, the control unit 21 determines the timing by using the number of pulses required by the comparison desired pulse number calculating unit 24 and the number of pulses counted by the pulse counter 25. # Whether the front end portion of the insertion side of the card 2 has been transported to the deceleration position (step S3 11). As a result of the above determination, when the insertion side end portion of the time card 2 has reached the deceleration position (YES in step S3-11), the control unit 21 sends an oscillation start signal to the drive pulse generation unit 22 regarding the second drive pulse. When the drive pulse generation unit 22 receives the oscillation start signal from the control unit 21, a second drive pulse (e.g., '300 pps) which is slower than the pulse speed of the first drive pulse is generated. The drive unit 23 supplies the second drive pulse sent from the drive motor generating unit 22 to the transport motor 7 (step S312). -13- 1336455 I-.W . « 1 ^ Hengyue 彳曰 Correction replacement page 丨 When the second drive pulse starts to be supplied, the rotation speed of the unillustrated drive shaft of the conveyance motor 7 is decelerated, and the card conveyance (transport) speed It will also slow down. Then, when the time card 2 is separated from the transport rollers 6a, 6b and is separated from the detection area of the card detecting sensor 4, the card detecting sensor 4 sends an undetected signal to the control portion 21. When receiving the undetected signal from the card detecting sensor 4, the control unit 2 1 determines that the discharge of the time card 2 is completed (YES in step S313), and sends a shock stop signal to the drive pulse generating unit 22. At this point, the supply of the second drive pulse is stopped (step S314), and the driving of the card transport mechanism (the roller 5' transport rollers 6a, 6b) is stopped. As described above, the card conveyance control process ends. As described above, the stepping motor control device 20 of the present embodiment is configured to supply the first drive pulse to the transport motor 7 and the high speed transport timing card 2 to the time card in the card transport control for discharging the time card 2. 2 At the position (deceleration position) at the time of discharge, the second drive pulse is supplied to the conveyance motor 7, and the conveyance speed is decelerated. By this means, it is possible to suppress the excessive momentum at the time of discharge while performing high-speed card transport (transport), and to discharge the time card 2 in a stable manner. Further, the stepping motor control device according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the determination as to whether or not the front end portion of the insertion side of the time card 2 has reached the deceleration position (the processing of step 311) is based on the desired number of pulses calculated by the desired pulse number calculating unit, and by the pulse counter. It is not limited to the number of pulses to count the 'but' the determination of whether the insertion side front end portion-14-1336455 of the timing card 2 has reached the deceleration position. For example, 'the required time calculation unit for calculating the time required for the insertion side front end portion of the time card to reach the deceleration position based on the pulse speed of the first drive pulse', and for timing the delivery motor (stepping motor) The timer "the supply timing of the first drive pulse" may be determined based on the calculation result of the required time calculation unit and the timing of the timer to determine whether or not the deceleration position has been reached. Further, a card detecting sensor such as a photo sensor is disposed in the vicinity of the deceleration position, and a signal (undetected signal) from the card detecting sensor is used to determine whether or not the deceleration position has been reached. At this time, when the front end portion of the insertion side of the timing card is separated from the detection area of the card detecting sensor (that is, when the timing card is not detected), the signal indicating this (undetected signal) is sent to A control unit of the stepping motor control device. Then, the control unit that receives the aforementioned undetected signal from the card detecting sensor determines that the leading end portion of the insertion side of the timing card has reached the deceleration position.
