Description

Arrangement for floor grinding
The invention relates to an arrangement for floor grinding, which is particularly meant for grinding of a floor with a floor conditioning device, such as a combination machine, floor conditioning machine or like. The arrangement comprises a tool instrument to be used in the floor conditioning device by rotating the same, the instrument being an essentially porous washing, polishing, waxing disk or like for carrying out basic functions of the floor conditioning device, and a grinding instrument, such as a diamond disk, to be coupled removably in connection with the tool instrument, or preferably several of the kind, being essentially alike and being placed symmetrically in connection with the tool instrument.
At present, in the above mentioned context, various floor conditioning devices are being used for conditioning and maintenance of most heterogeneous floor surfaces. Combination machines in this context refer to usually top-driven or pushable conditioning machines with which e.g. washing of the floor with water is possible to be executed in a way that also water can be sucked from the floor with the machine. There may be several rotating disks in this type of a combination machine. On the other hand, e.g. pushable floor conditioning machines that use one rotating disk are also being used.
Furthermore, for more efficient floor grinding e.g. diamond disks that are coupled removably e.g. to the bottom surface of an ordinary washing, polishing or waxing disk used for floor conditioning are known to be exploited in connection with the above mentioned device types. In this way, thanks to the diamond disks attached to the disk, the same also may be used for more efficient floor grinding in addition to basic washing and conditioning procedures. For their part, in use, there are usually structurally two types of diamond disks, ie. metal bond diamond disks and on the other hand plastic bond diamond disks. Furthermore, at present in this context the diamond disks are known to be connected at simplest by e.g. sticker tape attachment to the bottom surface of a porous tool instrument, like e.g. a washing disk, in addition to which today's novelty are diamond disks attached to the washing disk's bottom surface with glue that, however, do not anymore enable the washing disk to be used in its original purpose after removal of a diamond disk glued thereto.
The rotation speed of e.g. so called slow rotation floor conditioning machines varies typically between 150-500 rpm, whereas in so called fast rotation floor conditioning machines the rotation speed may even be above 900 rpm. Therefore coupling the diamond disks only to the bottom surface of the washing disk always imposes a risk, as the diamond disk may dart at a high speed in case the washing disk is worn out, the sticker tape attachment is so to speak pilled or the glueing of the diamond disk fails, therefore imposing a work safety risk in addition to other possible damages caused.
It is an aim of the arrangement for floor grinding according to the present invention to achieve a decisive improvement in the problems described above and thus to raise essentially the level of prior art. In order to carry out this aim, the arrangement according to the invention is mainly characterized by that it comprises fastening means in order to couple the grinding instrument with the tool instrument on the one hand by a fastening frame supported on its front surface and on the other hand by an auxiliary frame supported on its back surface.
As the most important advantages of the arrangement according to the invention are the simplicity and efficiency of the structures related thereto and use thereof, thanks to one or more grinding instruments, such as diamond disks, being couplable for use in a fast and reliable manner thanks to two-sided fastening thereof to the tool instrument without the risk of e.g. inadvertent detachment of a diamond disk during grinding. The fastening means according to the invention may advantageously be implemented e.g. as a compound structure entirety made of a elastic/flexible material reaching to the opposite sides of the tool instrument .
Therefore, thanks to the invention, a grinding instrument, e.g. a diamond disk, suitable for the purpose at any given time may be coupled to e.g. a washing disk in an easily attachable manner and removably without breaking of the washing disk in a way that the disk is as a further advantageous embodiment locked with the washing disk e.g. by anchoring means passing through the disk and/or by retaining means in the opposite attachment and auxiliary frames getting pressed onto the washing disk's outer and inner surfaces. With a coupling of the tool instrument and the grinding instrument/instruments implemented according to the arrangement of the invention, the floor conditioning procedures may be intensified decisively improving work safety at the same time.
Other advantageous embodiments of the arrangement according to the invention have been presented in the dependent claims related thereto. In the following description, the invention is illustrated in detail with reference to the appended drawings , in which in figures la-lc
are shown a bottom view, a cross-section view and an upper view of an advantageous arrangement according to the invention, in figures 2a-2c
are shown views according to figure 1 of another alternative arrangement according to the invention, in figures 3a-3c
are shown views according to figure 1 of third alternative arrangement according the invention, in figures 4a-4c
are shown views according to figure 1 of a fourth alternative arrangement according to the invention, in figures 5a-5c
are furthermore shown views according to figure 1 of a fifth alternative arrangement according to the invention, and furthermore in figures 6a and 6b
is firstly shown coupling of a waxing disk equipped with grinding instruments, being coupled therewith by fastening means according to the invention, to a floor conditioning device's pull platform, and on the other hand there is shown usage of the above mentioned combination in floor grinding . The invention relates to an arrangement for floor grinding, which is particularly meant for grinding of a floor with a floor conditioning device, such as a combination machine, floor conditioning machine or like. The arrangement comprises a tool instrument 1 to be used in the floor conditioning device by rotating w the same, the instrument being an essentially porous washing, polishing, waxing disk or like for carrying out basic functions of the floor conditioning device, and a grinding instrument 2, such as a diamond disk, to be coupled removably in connection with the tool instrument 1, or preferably several of the kind, being essentially alike and being placed symmetrically in connection with the tool instrument 1.
