Abstract

A B S T R A C T

When sanding e.g. panel doors (12) in a machine, the doors are placed under six horizontal sanding spind-les (10) with sanding members (11) which partly rotate and partly are moved around a vertical driv-ing cylinder (19). The spindles (10) are mounted in such a way that they can be programmed to rotate in a given direction and in necessary be completely disengaged. This programming is done by placing cams (17, 18 and 23, 24) for engaging and disengaging the spindle (10) by vertical movement of a friction cone (8) on the spindle between an upper and a lower friction path (6, 7) on the side of the driving cylinder (19).

Hereby a perfect sanding is obtained as the doors (12) are engaged by the sanding threads from many different sides thus eliminating sanding traces.
Furthermore, the machine can be adjusted to the shape of the work piece, whereby it is possible to adapt the sanding operation individually according to the work piece and also to stop the sanding e.g. when the sanding members move across sharp edges on the work piece, said edges therefore remaining quite sharp as they are not exposed to any sanding.

Description

~'~3~S3~) METHOD AND APPARATUS OR FINISHING SURFACES
1 The invention relates to a method for finishing sun-faces, e.g. sanding, polishing or the like of work pieces by means of rotating sanding members, as well as an apparatus for carrying out the method.

In the manufacture of profiled objects such as cup-board doors, louvered doors or the like, the surface should be sanded in order to give the surface the necessary finish. For this use portable polishing machines are known, which can be manually moved across the objects. This requires a certain skill to obtain a uniform result, just as coverings or the like must be made in order to protect exposed parts against rounding during the sanding. As mentioned, the work requires skill as well as long time to sand such objects and where mass production of uniform objects is in question, it is a very costly and laborious finishing process.

It is the object of the invention to remedy these deficiencies and this is achieved by a method where the work pieces are placed under a number of sanding members mounted on preferably horizontally borne, rotating spindles, which spindles are moved in a turning movement, making the sanding members describe a circular movement over the work pieces, at the same time as the spindles may rotate. Hereby a hitherto unknown degree of efficiency and quality is obtained as the rotating sanding members are moved in a air-cuter course over the work piece, which has the effect that the work pieces become quite uniformly finished as the sanding members engage from all sides. Hereby a completely uniform sanding result is ensured.

1 By letting the work pieces pass under the sanding spindle, e.g. by means of a conveyor belt, a con-tenuous finishing of the surface can take place in a rational way. By a suitable choice of sanding means, speed and tightening the desired quality and speed of production can be obtained.

By rotating the sanding members in various directions as disclosed in claim 2, it is possible by e.g. let tying adjacent spindles rotate in opposite directions to achieve a very smooth surface, which will show no sanding traces since an opposite finishing will take place all over the surface, as the work pieces are moved under the sanding members.
By being able to determine the direction of rotation as well as the engaging and disengaging of the rota-lion of the sanding members in predetermined places in the turning path of the spindles, as disclosed in claim 3, it will be possible to program the sanding so that it is possible to sand more or less carefully and in certain directions, and without sanding steep edges, terminal surfaces and the like so that the sans ding result is improved.
By mounting the spindles, as disclosed in claim I
it is possible by means of simple driving means to obtain a transfer of movement from a central rotating cylinder to the individual spindles, which transfer provides the possibility of bearing against either the upper or the lower friction ring, which deter-mines the direction of rotation of the spindle.

Finally, it is expedient, as disclosed in claim 53 to ~.~3~53(~

1 move the beddings of the spindles by means Or a cam, which may act on a maneuvering lever whereby eying-cement and disengagement as well as direction of rota-lion of the spindle may be programmed by a suitable location of cams.

The invention will be described further in the lot-lowing with reference to the drawing, wherein 0 fig. 1 shows an apparatus seen in the direction I-I in fig. 2, fig. 2 shows the same apparatus seen in the direction II-II in fig. 1, and fig. 3 shows another embodiment of an appear-tusk seen in the same direction as in fig.
2.

On fig. 1 and 2 an embodiment of the invention is shown, viz. in form of a through-feed sanding machine e.g. for wood finishing and denibbling of panels, doors and gates with panels.

The machine comprises a not shown frame, on which is mounted a conveyor belt for panel doors 12 being the illustrated work piece. The conveyor comprises two conveyor belts 13, which are moved by a shaft 15.

The doors are placed on the belt in such a way that they abut. Furthermore, on both sides under the sanding members 11 a guard 14 is placed, the upper edge of which is in line with the surfaces of the doors 12. Hereby the lateral edges of the doors are ~3:~53C~

1 protected against sanding, as the sanding members cannot engage the edges, which will remain sharp.

The sanding arrangement itself is mounted above the work pieces 12. In the shown example it comprises six spindles 10 mounted in a not shown bedding that can be turned around the center of the equipment. The axis of rotation is vertical. Hereby the spindles 10 may describe a circular movement, a motor 3 over a not shown drive turning all the spindles. Each spindle is provided with a steering arm 9 carrying at the top a horizontally mounted roller 16, which during rota-lion is moved under a stationary ring 5. On this ring 5 various cams or guides 17, 18 may be secured, which may act on the steering arm 9 in vertical direction.
Furthermore, a cylinder 19 is embedded, which can be made to rotate around a vertical shaft by means of a motor 2. This cylinder is provided with an upper and a lower slanting facing 6 and 7, which facings are provided with a friction promoting material such as rubber ox the like.

Between these two lacings 6, 7 a friction cone 8 is mounted, which cone is secured to one end of the spindle 10. By raising and lowering this cone by way of the steering arm 9, the spindle can be made to turn in two directions and if desired be risen-gaged in the middle positions, as shown on fig. 2 by the left spindle.
Jo This construction will permit programming of the sanding process the choice of cams or guides de-scribing the sanding process in such a way that the I i31) 1 machine can be programmed in any desired way depend-in on the prescribed sanding work.

The entire sanding equipment is secured to an upper machine part 1 that can be raised or lowered in rota-lion to the conveyor belt thus permitting the machine to be adjusted in height to work piece and weed me charism.

On fig. 3 another embodiment of the apparatus is shown. It differs prom the apparatus shown and desert-bed on fig. 1 and 2 in that it has a large U-shapedlya~e en maneuvering arm 20, extending between a bedding 25 inside the rotating driving cylinder 19, and the spindle 10 between the sanding member 11 and the cone 8. The bedding 25 is connected to toes Myra 3 in such a way that the arms 20 and thus the punned 10 can rotate around the cylinder 19.

Thus, the arm 20 can tilt around the bedding 25 so that the cone 8 can be brought into contact with the lower and toe upper friction ring 6, 7, respectively on the cylinder 19.

On the upper side ox the arm 10 a roller 21 is mount-Ed which con be turned around a vertical axis During rotation of the spindle 10 this roller 21 can be tilted in or out in relation to the ring by means of cams 23 and 24 mounted on the stationary ring 5, and thus swing the spindle 10 with the cone 8 up or down in relation to the cylinder 19.

In order to hold the roller against the cams 23 and 24 one or more draw-springs 22 are mounted.

~3~153~

1 By a suitable choice of cam size the direction ox rotation for the spindles may be determined. As shown on fig. 3, the left spindle is tilted so that the cone 8 is in friction contact with the lower ring 6. A smaller cam 24, shown to the right on the draw-in will make the cone engage the upper friction ring 7 and hereby give the spindle an opposite direct lion of rotation. A cam with a thickness in between these mentioned cams will hold the cone in between the friction rings 6 and 7 and thus stop the rota-lion of the spindle.

Thus, by choosing the size of cam and place of these on the ring 5 the sanding can be programmed in such a way that it may be adapted individually according to need. Furthermore, the very rigid construction of arm, bedding and spindle provides a completely non-vibrating and thus a smooth and precise sanding result.

The other parts shown on fig. I which correspond to the parts shown on fig. 1 and 2 haze the same rerun go numbers.

The shown motors 2 and 3 can be adjusted infinitely variable, whereby the desired completely programmer able through-feed machine can be obtained.

The sanding member 11 shown and described is a cry-finder comprising juxtaposed rings with thin sanding threads, which member may engage the work piece in an efficient way. However, any form of sanding member, polishing disc or wire brush, bronze brush or the like may be used according to requirement ~IIL23~L530 1 Instead ox the described embodiment with steering levers and cams, the machine may be provided with different kinds ox control and adjustment means.
Thus, the spindle may be engaged and disengaged by means of hydraulic or electromagnetic means, just as an independent motor or each spindle would be imaginable.
