Background technology
It is known that button is generally being provided with relative to elementary semi-finished product rotation and/or is moving
Manufacture on the machine of dynamic instrument, in order to the button shape required by acquisition and hole number, described
Semi-finished product are kept by particular jig device.Substantially cylindrical elementary semi-finished product is referred to as plate-like
Element.
Button can be manufactured by various materials, as long as material is the hardest, as example
Timber, metal, bone, Concha Margaritifera, horn, Dens Elephatis or plastics as.
The production of button, particularly by precious materials such as horn, Concha Margaritifera or Dens Elephatis manufacture
The production of button, due to initial disk linear element diametrically may change too big and causing
Defect.
At present, the manufacture of the discoid element forming button can be according to two kinds of distinct processing
Circulation is carried out.
According to the first fabrication cycles, this first fabrication cycles the most incidental Figure 1A-1D institute
Show and carry out in conventional machines, discoid element 100 is being loaded into particular jig 114 (Figure 1A)
After on, an instrument (not shown) performs the first turning operation, by this instrument, the most right
The side of discoid element 100 performs to grind and forming operation (Figure 1B).Subsequently, need dish
Linear element 100 is inverted (Fig. 1 C), so that can be the most right by this instrument
Its opposite side is processed (Fig. 1 D).It is also possible that after above-mentioned procedure of processing and/or it
Between perform other processing, as such as punching on discoid element 100 or forming protrusion or recessed
Portion.
But this processing method causes some defects.Firstly, since discoid element 100 itself
The inhomogeneity of diameter, causes the discoid element 100 loading on processing machine to have difficulties.
Further, since discoid element 100 can not be performed completely in single operation step
Grind, cause fabrication cycles to produce waste of material.Because discoid element 100 have to be at external diameter
On clamped by fixture 114, so in order to remove the material that can not grind in the first operating procedure
Material part, have to be inverted discoid element 100 itself certainly.
Another kind of manufacture is circulated, and first performs on particular abrasive machine, then in conventional machines
Upper execution is so that forming disk linear element, on the contrary, circulate according to this manufacture, and can be single behaviour
Make complete abrasive disk linear element itself in step, as shown in accompanying drawing 2A-2E.Current grinder
Device allows to the cylindrical surface of complete abrasive disk linear element 100 really, because this machine
Grasping system be made up of two relative clamping axles 106 and 108, the two clamping axle 106
With 108 by acting on the pressure on two opposed parallel surfaces of discoid element 100 and locking dish
Linear element 100.In this way, the material caused by the first manufacture circulation above-mentioned can be avoided
Material waste.
By use, therefore discoid element 100 is set as that the emery wheel 110 rotated is processed.And
And discoid element 100 is also set to rotate.Relative between discoid element 100 with emery wheel 110
Motion can be axial type (Fig. 2 A) or radial (Fig. 2 B).Finally, through the dish ground
The next procedure of processing of linear element 100 performs on conventional molding machines device.
But, this second processing method also has some defects.First defect occur in by
Discoid element 100 is loaded in the step on grinding machine.This discoid element 100 is by clamping
(Fig. 2 C-2E) is arranged on vee-block 112 by dropping to before axle 106 and 108 locking.
Owing to its external diameter lacks homogeneity, discoid element 100 is relative to the rotation of clamping axle 106 and 108
Shaft axis also not all is disposed concentrically upon.So, the quantity of material removed during grinding operation is not
Uniform as a result, owing to discoid element 100 is relative to the motion of clamping axle 106 and 108
Reason, may cause surface finish different and/or grinding operation is incorrect.
The grinding operation of skive there is also problem, this is because the material being removed combines
On the surface of emery wheel itself, reduce emery wheel considerably and rapidly and remove the ability of material.
Additionally, the surface finish that the grinding operation of skive also results in discoid element is poor.
Document DE732672C shows the most as described in the preamble for making
Make the machine of button.This machine being used for manufacturing button is provided with the self-centering location of discoid element
System.But, when processing the mutually different discoid element of diameter, this discoid element from
