Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the automated production of embossed signs, in particular embossed license plates, and a vending machine with such a device.
  • embossed signs in particular license plates
  • embossing dies are placed in a stamp holder in accordance with the character combinations to be embossed on the sign, in order then to emboss the sign. This requires a comparatively high level of manual effort, which prevents a preferably fully automated production of the embossed signs.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device of the type mentioned at the outset which promotes the automated production of embossed signs.
  • a device for the automated production of embossed signs is first proposed, which comprises the means and features of the first, independent claim, which is directed to such a device.
  • a device for the automated production of embossed signs, in particular license plates is therefore proposed, which comprises an embossing device for embossing characters on a plate blank, the embossing device having at least one embossing roller with embossing stamps movably mounted in the embossing direction.
  • the die of the at least one embossing roller can preferably movably mounted on a roller wheel of the embossing roller, in particular movably suspended thereon.
  • a set of embossing dies can be arranged on the roller wheel of the at least one embossing roller of the embossing device, each embossing die being set up for embossing at least one character.
  • the embossing dies for embossing the desired combination of characters on the shield blank can be selected, brought into the orientation required for embossing and finally used for embossing the characters on a shield blank that is kept ready.
  • a manual selection of the necessary stamps and, above all, the setting of the stamps in a stamp receptacle can be effectively avoided with the aid of the device.
  • the device can have a control unit with which order information, which can be entered, for example, via a user interface of the device and / or a vending machine explained below, can be converted into corresponding actuating signals for producing a corresponding sign.
  • order information which can be entered, for example, via a user interface of the device and / or a vending machine explained below, can be converted into corresponding actuating signals for producing a corresponding sign.
  • the at least one embossing roller can then also be controlled and moved in order to bring the embossing stamps required for embossing the desired characters into their working position. In this way it is possible to automatically select the embossing stamps required for embossing the desired combination of characters on the shield blank.
  • the embossing device has at least two associated with one another Embossing rollers each with a roller wheel and embossing stamps movably mounted thereon in the embossing direction.
  • One of the two associated embossing rollers can have so-called positive embossing dies, while corresponding negative embossing dies are provided on the other embossing roller, so that the desired characters can be embossed on the shield blank with the aid of the positive embossing dies and negative embossing dies that correspond to one another in pairs.
  • the corresponding embossing dies of the embossing rollers assigned to one another can be fed to the shield blank from different sides of the shield blank, coordinated with one another.
  • a processing position for a shield blank is arranged between two mutually associated embossing rollers.
  • the shield blank can be moved between the two mutually associated embossing rollers in order to emboss at least one character on the shield blank with the aid of the embossing dies of the two embossing rollers.
  • it can therefore be arranged between the two embossing rollers.
  • the stamping dies can be mounted on their roller wheel so that they can move in the radial direction. In this way it is possible to rotate the desired stamping die into an stamping position by rotating the roller wheel and then to carry out the movement required for stamping the character with the stamping stamp.
  • a special feature of the device can be that a hub of the at least one embossing roller is relative to a frame of the device and / or relative to the already mentioned processing position for a shield blank between two associated embossing rollers is stationary. In this way, the entire embossing roller is not moved relative to the shield blank to be embossed, but only the embossing die required for embossing the desired character, which is movably arranged on the roller wheel of its embossing roller.
  • the embossing dies can each be movably mounted on the roller wheel of the at least one embossing roller with the aid of at least one restoring element, for example with the aid of at least one restoring spring.
  • the at least one restoring element is oriented transversely or at right angles to a radial line of the roller wheel when the die is in the starting position. In principle, however, it is also conceivable that the at least one restoring element is oriented in the direction of the radial line of the roller wheel.
  • the embossing stamps can be suspended, for example, on a circumferential side of the roller wheel and there brought from a rest position or starting position into an embossing position in which they contact a shield blank for embossing characters.
  • the device can have at least one, preferably stationary, actuator with which an embossing stamp selected for embossing can be moved from an initial position on its roller wheel into an embossing position.
  • the actuator can for example a lifting cylinder, preferably a hydraulic lifting cylinder.
  • the actuator can be stationary relative to the roller wheel of the embossing roller that is rotatable about the actuator. In this way, the actuator, which moves the stamps from their initial position into their stamping position, can remain in place, while the roller wheel of the stamping roller can be adjusted relative to the actuator for selecting the stamping stamps used for stamping.
  • the stamps provided for stamping the individual characters can be positioned one after the other on the actuator so that the actuator can press the stamp one after the other onto a shield blank in the processing position in order to stamp the desired characters on the shield blank.
  • each embossing roller can be assigned an actuator for moving the embossing dies into their respective embossing positions.
  • a device for the automated production of embossed signs which comprises the features of the second independent claim directed to such a device.
  • a device for the automated production of embossed signs which has an embossing device for embossing characters on a shield blank and a transport carriage with which at least one shield blank can be moved into a processing position on the embossing device.
  • the transport slide comprises a frame on which at least one label blank can be placed in such a way that two sides of the label blank are accessible for the embossing device for embossing characters.
  • the special feature of this variant of the device is that the shield blank does not have to be removed from the transport carriage due to the special construction of the carriage in order to emboss the characters from both sides of the shield blank with corresponding stamps.
  • the frame of the transport carriage can be open on both sides, so that the embossing stamps of the embossing device can be pressed through the frame onto a shield blank located on the frame for embossing characters.
  • the transport slide can have at least one clamping means with which a shield blank can be fixed to the frame of the transport slide. With the aid of the at least one clamping means, a shield blank can thus be clamped on the frame of the transport carriage. This favors the processing of the shield blank on the embossing device.
  • the at least one clamping means is held in a clamping position by a restoring means, for example by a restoring spring. It can thus be ensured that the clamping means automatically remains in its clamping position, in which it fixes a shield blank on the frame of the transport carriage, if the restoring means is not acted upon in a targeted manner in order to be moved into an open position. In this way, an unintentional change in position of the shield blank on the frame of the transport carriage can be avoided.
  • the frame has a receptacle in which a shield blank can be fixed positively to the frame of the transport carriage with respect to its areal extension. The receptacle can be limited at least on one side by frame legs of the frame.
  • the frame can allow embossing punches of the embossing device to be fed to both sides of the shield blank clamped on the frame.
  • the frame can have at least two punch openings which are provided on sides of the frame facing away from one another and which can be advanced through the punch of the embossing device for embossing characters on the shield blank clamped on the frame.
  • the transport carriage can have guide rollers.
  • the guide rollers can be arranged on sides or longitudinal sides of the frame that are aligned in the longitudinal direction of extent of the frame.
  • the transport carriage has at least one sliding element, for example a sliding skid. This variant allows the transport slide to be shifted on a corresponding slide guide of the device, which does not require guide rollers.
  • the device can have a slide guide along which the transport slide can be fed to the embossing device.
  • the slide guide can be adapted to a transport slide with guide rollers and / or also to a transport slide with a sliding element.
  • the slide guide can have at least one displacement means, for example a displacement strip, with which the at least one clamping means of the transport slide can be moved into its open position and / or can be held there.
  • This at least one displacement means can be provided, for example, in an area outside the working area of the embossing device. In this way it is possible to hold the at least one clamping means of the transport carriage in its clamping position at least in the working area of the embossing device in order to fix a shield blank on the frame of the transport carriage. This favors precise machining of the shield blank on the embossing device of the device.
  • the slide guide can have the at least one displacement means. If the transport slide arrives in an area in which the at least one displacement means, for example the displacement strip, is provided, the at least one clamping means of the transport slide is automatically moved into its open position by the movement of the transport slide without a separate drive. A fixation of the shield blank on the frame of the transport slide is thus canceled, so that the shield blank can be removed from the transport slide after it has been processed on the device. When the clamping means is in the open position, it is also possible to load an unloaded transport slide with a new shield blank.
  • the at least one displacement means for example the displacement strip
  • the device has a foiling device for applying a film, in particular for applying a hot stamping film, to an already stamped shield blank.
  • a foiling device for applying a film, in particular for applying a hot stamping film, to an already stamped shield blank.
  • the foiling device With the help of the foiling device, it is possible to protect the shield blank to provide embossed characters with a colored film and to be colored in this way.
  • the use of hot stamping foils as foils for coloring the embossed characters has proven successful.
  • a device for the automated production of embossed signs, in particular embossed labels which comprises the means and features of the third independent claim directed to such a device.
  • a device for the automated production of embossed signs, in particular license plates is proposed, which is characterized by a foiling device that has an embossing roller for applying a film, in particular a hot stamping film, to an embossed sign blank, which between a Embossing position and a rest position is movable.
  • the embossing roller With which the film is to be applied to the shield blank after processing of the shield blank on the embossing device, can initially remain in its rest position. In the rest position, the embossing roller can be arranged at a distance from a plane or guide, in particular at a distance from the previously mentioned slide guide, along which the shield blanks can be fed to the embossing device. Adjusting movements of the shield blanks, which are carried out by the shield blanks when the shield blanks are processed on the embossing device, are not impaired by the embossing roller.
  • the foiling device can be placed closer to the embossing device of the device.
  • the device is given more compact dimensions. Even if Edge areas of the shield blanks are to be provided with characters by means of the embossing device, the embossing roller of the foiling device is not in the way, since it remains in its rest position at a distance from the plane in which the shield blank is processed by the embossing device of the device. It is thus possible to move the shield blank while it is being processed on the embossing device, if necessary, into the working area of the foiling device without the shield blank or the transport carriage colliding with the embossing roller.
  • the stamping roller In the working position, the stamping roller can be arranged between guide rails of a slide guide of the device, for example the aforementioned slide guide, while the stamping roller, in its rest position, can be arranged at a distance from the slide guide of the device. In this way, a collision of the stamping roller with the shield blank processed on the stamping device and / or the one transport slide of the device can be avoided.
  • the foiling device can have a heating device with at least one heating element assigned to the embossing roller. It is useful if the at least one heating element assigned to the stamping roller can be moved together with the stamping roller from the working position into the rest position.
  • the at least one heating element and the embossing roller can be arranged on a movable, in particular a pivotable, arm of the foiling device.
  • the foiling device can have a roller drive which is set up to drive the embossing roller in its rest position, that is to set it in rotation. In this way this prevents the embossing roller from becoming locally overheated when it is heated. Because the embossing roller is driven, i.e. moved, in its rest position, other sections of the embossing roller are constantly facing one, for example the aforementioned at least one heating element of the foiling device, so that even heating of the embossing roller can be achieved, even if it is in their rest position is arranged. With an embossing roller in the working position, the roller drive can be inactive and / or the embossing roller can be free-running. The movement of the stamping roller, which is desirable for stamping the foil, in particular hot stamping foils, can then be caused by the shield blank moved relative to the stamping roller and / or a transport slide, for example the one already mentioned above.
  • the embossing roller of the foiling device can have a silicone coating. This favors a flat contact of the embossing roller on the embossed characters of the shield blank and thus ultimately the reliable application of the film, in particular the hot stamping film, on the embossed characters of the shield blank.
  • the device can have a handling device for sign blanks and / or for finished signs.
  • the handling device can for example comprise a suction gripper.
  • the suction gripper can be moved along a transverse guide between receiving positions and dispensing positions.
  • shield blanks can, for example, be taken from a magazine with a supply of shield blanks and fed to the transport slide of the device.
  • Finished signs can be removed from the transport carriage with the aid of the handling device and placed in an output position of the device, for example in an output compartment or in a Output shaft or can be stored in a magazine of the device for finished signs.
  • the device can have at least one magazine for a supply of shield blanks.
  • the device can have several shafts in the magazine or also several magazines. It is also possible that the device comprises an output, in particular an output shaft and / or an output compartment and / or a magazine, for finished signs. A finished label can be kept ready for removal in the dispenser.
  • a vending machine is also proposed with a device according to one of the claims directed to such a device, which is set up for the automated production of embossed signs, in particular embossed license plates.
  • the vending machine can have an output shaft and / or an output compartment for finished signs. Furthermore, the vending machine can have a user interface for entering order information and / or a payment interface. A user of the vending machine can use the user interface to enter order information, for example a combination of characters that is to be impressed on the sign. This order information can be transmitted from the user interface of the vending machine to a control unit of the device for the automated production of signs and converted into corresponding control pulses by the control unit. The order can be released by paying via the payment interface of the vending machine and so the automated Manufacture of the shield to be triggered.
