- the value-added medium 2 is transported to a position where the value-added medium position sensor 2 is turned on, the second value-added medium position sensor is turned on, and the supply / discharge mechanism 3 stops. Hot stamping is performed at this position.
- the integrated heater block 14 efficiently and quickly Is heated. Then, when the hot plate 13 detects that the hot plate 13 has reached the predetermined optimum temperature by the mistake 21, the hot stamping is started.
- the device can be downsized and energy-saving, and the hot stamping device is most suitable for on-demand issuance at self-service terminals and customer service points. Can be provided.
- the air layer is eliminated by the viscoelastic substance having good thermal conductivity, and the ceramic plate 6 and the heat plate 13 and the heat storage body 83 are in close contact with each other.
- the temperature of the hot plate 13 can be detected more accurately.
- the time required to raise the temperature of the heat block 14 to a predetermined value can be shortened, and energy can be saved.
- the heater block 14 having such a configuration it is possible to provide a hot stamping device that is optimal for self-service issuance of on-demand at customer service counters. Further, since the temperature unevenness of the hot plate 13 is reduced and hot stamping can be performed at a predetermined optimum temperature, the transfer quality can be improved.
- a heat insulating plate 12 is arranged on the mounting surface of the arm 7 holding the heater block 14 so as to form an integrated structure.
- the heat generated by the heat 6 is prevented from conducting to the outside of the heater block 14, that is, the arm 7, and the heat of the ceramic heat 6 is efficiently added to the hot plate 13 and the heat storage body 83.
- the hot plate 13 can be raised to the predetermined temperature in a shorter time, and unnecessary power supply to the ceramic heater 6 is suppressed. Energy saving of the hot stamping device can be realized.
- a viscoelastic substance may be filled in the gap between the blocks 14 shown in FIGS. 12 and 13.
- Silicon grease 84 and silicone rubber 85 May be filled.
- the heat storage body 83 in Fig. 34 and the support blocks 81, 81 are integrally processed into a head support member 87, and the ceramic heat sink 6
- the heat plate 13 and the hot plate 13 may be assembled so as to form a heat sink block 14 having an integrated structure.
- the gap between the ceramic plate 6 and the head support member 87 and the hot plate 13 is filled with silicon grease 84 or silicon rubber 85.
- the heat storage body 83, the support blocks 81, 81, and the hot plate 13 in Fig. 34 are integrally processed to form an integral stamped part 88. It is also possible to combine them with each other so as to form an integrated structure of a block 14.
- the gap between the ceramic heater 6 and the integral stamped portion 8 8 is filled with silicon grease 84 or silicone rubber 85.
- a member serving as a lid may be attached so as to cover the gap between the hot blocks 14 so that the silicon grease 84 does not protrude.
- Fig. 41 shows another embodiment of the structure in which the heat block 14 is attached to the arm 7.
- a magnet 91 is firmly adhered to the arm 7 side as an engaging portion, and a fitting hole 92 for an emboss 89 is provided at a mounting position of the heating block 14.
- the emboss 89 and the fitting hole 92 may be aligned and magnetically connected, and the replacement of the heater block 14 can be performed more easily.
- the mounting surface of the heater block 14 to the arm 7 and the hitch lock mounting portion of the arm 7 are provided with engaging portions that engage with each other, and at least one of the engaging portions is magnetic.
- the heater block 14 is attached to the head mounting part of the arm 7 by magnetic force, and is detachable, so that the transfer shape can be changed or the hot plate 13 can be changed at the request of the user.
- the heater block 14 is replaced due to deterioration, the replacement work becomes easy and the usability of the hot stamping device can be improved.
- the heat block 14 and the arm 7 are engaged with each other by the engagement portion, a force is not applied during the hot stamping in a direction orthogonal to the stamp direction, and the heat block 14 is not displaced. It is possible to prevent the arm 7 from falling off.
