Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for forming, especially for embossing the edge ring or disc-shaped Blanks.
  • a flat disc-shaped blank on its edge deform is, for example, in the production of medals or coins first of all from a sheet of suitable material (Metal) round or polygonal disc-shaped blanks punched out, they have one on their edge Stamping burr and a separating surface resulting from the stamping process on. In many cases, such blanks can not immediately be embossed on the flat sides. This especially not if the nature of the special quality requirements as is often the case with coins. Moreover occasionally there is a demand to define the margin in certain Way to design. E.g. have coins often a thickened or raised edge that is over the flat sides of the coin projecting annular rib forms. The formation of such a rib requires one Compression process at the edge, with the material in the radial direction is pressed inwards.
  • Task a device for edge embossing Creating blanks, the diverse design options allowed on the blanks and the high productivity enables.
  • the device according to the invention has at least one Form wheel on, which in turn with at least one Abdicalzformsegement is provided.
  • This is provided with a profile, that is molded on the edge of the round blank or coin shall be.
  • the rolling form segment extends in Circumferential direction of the molding wheel, wherein it is preferably only occupies part of the circumference.
  • the length of the Abubalzformsegment or the length of its profile can be dimensioned so that they are half the circumference of the Ronde or the coin matches.
  • An abutment element is assigned to the molding wheel even as a form wheel or as a fixed abutment can be trained.
  • Impression segment is provided, which carries a profile that is to be molded on the rim edge.
  • the length of the abutment element is at least so large that the abutment element and the hob form segment the circumference of the blank completely reform. Is not a border label or are not to form any other raised form elements on the round blank, the circumference of the round blank can roll several times.
  • the inventive concept for edge embossing Rounding enables the molding wheel to rotate continuously and therefore high productivity.
  • a positioning device For guiding the coins or discs during the minting process is preferably a positioning device provided that at least partially take over the function can feed the coins or discs to the mint and lead them away from this.
  • the positioning device is, for example, by a plate or carrier ring formed, which is substantially concentric with the molding wheel is stored and has pockets for the blanks.
  • the receiving pockets are preferably such that the blanks with simple slide devices in the Bags can be inserted.
  • the edge is embossed the blanks, for example, between two form wheels in place the positioning device matched the blanks to the Rotation of the form wheel at this point, remains during the Embossing process there and then guides the blanks by further rotation from the embossing point that is between two form wheels.
  • stationary abutment element guides the positioning device the edges through the between the abutment element and the embossing gap formed in the molding wheel.
  • the speed of rotation corresponds to the positioning device the speed at which the round plate under the action of the molding wheel roll through the embossing gap would.
  • the positioning device can in its transport speed be coordinated accordingly or also run free so that they are ultimately taken away by the blank (driven).
  • the positioning device allows in both cases a free rotation of the blanks in the receiving pockets non-slip, driven by the form wheel. Should be out of round, For example, octagonal, rosette-shaped or any other of the Circular deviating coins are minted on their edges, the blanks may need to be set in a fixed position Angular position in the receiving pockets of the positioning device to lay. It can be useful here Rounds, at least as long as they are with the form wheel or the Abutment element are not engaged against rotation to fix. Clamping claws, vacuum suction cups, Magnetic mounts or other controllable holding devices serve.
  • the form wheel can both on its outer circumference also provided with hob form segments on its flat side his. If the shape segments are arranged on the outer circumference, can easily interact with several form wheels. E.g. can use a middle form wheel two as an abutment serving form wheels are assigned to all are driven in the same direction and their shafts parallel are aligned with each other. This leads to simple Relationships. E.g. is the drive of over a common one Shaft possible that is transverse to the three form wheel shafts runs. This also opens up a simple possibility the gap adjustment of the form wheels with each other. Is this Bearing of the middle form wheel, for example, arranged in a stationary manner, can the bearings of the outer mold wheels away from this and to be arranged to be adjustable. this makes possible in addition to replacing the hobbing segments, a simple one and easy adaptation to different coin or Round diameter.
  • a circular blank 1 is illustrated, the Edge 2 is embossed.
  • the imprint will formed by a circumferential groove or groove 3, at the Floor raised elements, for example a font is.
  • the raised elements are smaller projections 4 arranged on the groove bottom are indicated. Instead of the projections 4 can also have depressions, groove interruptions, Stars, letters or other form elements or symbols may be provided.
  • the edge 2 of the Round 1 can also be formed without a groove.
  • the Round 1 in the present example is circular in plan view, however, it can also have a shape that differs from the circular shape Shape, for example a polygonal shape with rounded Have corners or a rosette shape.
  • the device 6 includes a central molding wheel 7 which is rotatably supported about an axis 8. Not from one further illustrated drive device is that Form wheel 7 in an illustrated by an arrow 9 Direction of rotation driven continuously.
  • each hob form segment 11 has a negative shape for the edge embossing of the from FIG. 1 illustrated blank 1.
  • the corresponding profile extends in the circumferential direction over the respective hob form segment 11. The length of this profile corresponds about half the circumference of the round blank 1.
  • the hob form segments 11 can be interchangeable to adapt to different Discs 1, i.e. different diameters and allow edge profiles.
  • the form wheel 7 are two assigned further form wheels 14, 15 which, when embossing the Discs 1 each form an abutment.
  • the form wheels 14, 15 essentially agree with that Form wheel 7 match. They are also with rolling form elements 16, 17 provided, each having a shaped profile, that assigned half a circumference of the round blank 1 is. The rolling form element 16 or 17 complements this Profile of the respective Abicalzformelements 11 to a complete circumferential profile of a blank 1.
  • the hob form segments 16, 17 are also radially adjustable on the Form wheels 14, 15 mounted for precise adjustment of the To enable device 6.
