Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a recording medium punching apparatus.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a punching device for punching and forming a recording medium, for example, a floppy disk base, has an upper die 41 and a lower die 42 provided opposite to each other as shown in FIG. An outer diameter punch 44 is provided on the upper outer periphery of the cylindrical die holder 43, and an inner diameter die 45 is provided on the upper inner side.An outer diameter die 46 and an inner diameter punch 47 are provided below the upper die 41 via an annular space portion 48. An upper pad 50 is provided in the annular space 48 via a spring 49 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. Then, the raw web 51 is supplied between the upper die 41 and the lower die 42, and the upper die 41 is lowered to punch the ring-shaped floppy disk base while the raw web 51 is pressed by the upper die pad 50. The upper mold pad 50 prevents the raw fabric 51 from being bent at the time of punching.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-described conventional technology, since the lower surface of the upper die pad 50 is entirely in contact with the web 51, the magnetic recording surface of the floppy disk base may be adversely affected. In addition, there is a problem that the floppy disk base is easily adhered to the upper die pad 50 after the punching is formed, which hinders the continuous operation of the punching device. In order to solve this problem, a contact portion is formed on the upper die pad corresponding to the recording invalid area on the inner and outer circumferences of the floppy disk base, and a recess is formed between the inner and outer contact portions. Although it is conceivable to form it, in such a case, particularly when punching a large floppy disk base, or when punching a plurality of floppy disk bases at the same time, a convex shape is formed on the floppy disk base in the recess of the upper die pad. There has been a problem that bending occurs and a product dimensional error occurs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a recording medium punching apparatus which can prevent a raw material from being bent at the time of punching and can punch and form a recording medium having high dimensional accuracy.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve this object, a punching apparatus for a recording medium according to the present invention is provided on the lower surface of an upper mold pad in correspondence with a recording invalid area on the inner and outer peripheries of the recording medium. A ring portion is provided, and a ring portion is provided in a recess formed between the inner and outer ring portions to regulate the deflection of the raw material.

Further, in the present invention, the ring portion is formed lower than the inner and outer ring portions.
