Abstract
A machine for reconditioning the points of twist drills is described comprising a grindstone (3), a drill holder (13) and supports for the latter, said supports being carried on a platen (7) which platen is movable in a horizontal plane towards and away from the grindstone (3), the said platen (7) being further supported on an inclined surface (5) of a member (4) which latter is adapted to be moved so that the place of support of the platen (7) on such inclined surface (5) is at a higher or lower level of the said inclined surface (5).
With such a structure it is possible to semplify the position changing steps and to dispence with dismounting of the support and/or holder, since the whole change can be attained by a simple switch-over of a lever.
Description
- The present invention relates to a machine for reconditioning and regrinding worn points of twist drills.
- As is known, the conventional twist drill is a slender rod shaped piece of steel along which extend two helical flutes (see Fig. 1). The pointed end of the drill shows two oppositely disposed lands, i, e. substantially triangular areas, being mirror representations of one another (see Fig. 1). These areas extend in two curved planer defining an angle between them - and which are also in angular relation to the axis of the drill. The edges of these triangular areas, the so-called "lips" are apt to become worn and require regrinding.
- There are known already machines which perform the required regrinding, some of these machines comprise disc-shaped grind stones or the peripheral face of which the regrinding of worn twist drills can be effected. Other - probably more modern - machines employ cap-shaped grind stones on the inner wall of which the grinding of the drill point is effected.
- Both types of these machines employ holders for the orill which holders - in turn - are carried in a support presenting the drill tip to the grind stone at a predetermined angle, corresponding to ihe angle of the drill point, which is a constant.
- The known machines have the disadvantage of requiring the change of position of a drill between the grinding of one flank to the opposite one. This is a time consuming operation since it requires also the proper re orientation of the support, drill holder and drill.
- Furthermore, usually there are needed two machines or at least two holders for different sizes of drills.
- Another disadvantage is that in order to advance the drill while regrinding, the operation must be stopped to release the drill, reposition it and then restart.
- Another disadvantage is that the grinding stone must be redressed or smoothened.. A further disadvantage is the need to adjust the lip relief setting.
- It is the main object of this invention to provide a machine which simplifies the position changing step and dispenses with dismounting of support and/or holder, the whole change of position being attained by a simple switch-over of a lever. It is a further object tc overcome all the above mentioned disadvantages.
- There is provided a machine for grinding the points of twist drills which comprises, as is usual, a grind stone, a drill holder and a support for the latter, the said support being carried on a platen, which platen is movable in a horizontal plane towards and away from the grindstone, the said platen being further supported on an inclined surface of a member which latter is adapted to be moved so that the place of support of the platen on such inclined surface is at a higher or lower level of the said inclined surface.
- Accord ing to a further feature of the invention, an annular grindstone having an inner, cylindrical face is used.
- The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
- Fig. 1 schematically illustrates the point of a twist drill;
- Fig. 2 is a perspective, schematical view of the new machine, and
- Fig. 3 is a plan view thereof.
- Fig. 3a is a partial view of the machine showing the drill holder;
- Fig. 3b is a view of the machine in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 3a (without the upper elements seen in Fig. 3a).
- Fig. 4 shows -in perspective- one jaw of the drill holder, while
- Fig. 5 is a like view of the member supporting the platen on an inclined face.
- Turning first to Figures 1 and 2, there is seen the point of a twist drill with its two lands a and b which have lips a and b1. To recondition a worn point of a drill, the two lands are ground by being presented to the cylindrical face of a grindstone. In the machine, according to the present invention, the inner cylindrical edge face of an annular grindstone is the one to which the point is held for grinding. The lands are - as seen, of roughly triangular shape, the sides of the triangles being slightly curved. The surface of each land is ground convexly and the respective lip, which is the active cutting part of the drill, is appropriately sharpened.
- The new machine is mounted on a bottom plate I and derives its drive from an
electrical motor 2 which drives thegrindstone 3. This latter is an annulus, the inner cylindrical face 3a of which, is operative. - On
bottom plate 1 lies flat a member 4 (also see Fig. 5). Member 4 is plate-like, and has a plane underside with which it rests on plate I. The member 4 is pivotally connected at 4a with theplate 1. At its upper side the member 4 has twoinclined areas 5. From its outwardly directed side extends a handle 6. Above member 4 lies a U-shapedmember 10 which is journalled between twoblocks 9. From the saidmember 10 extend downwardly screw threaded legs 8 (only one of which is seen in Fig. 2), which, with their lower ends, stand on member 4 within the range of theinclined areas 5. - Between the vertical legs of U-member 10 are fixed two oppositely disposed traverses 10' having each a V-
shaped groove 10". In thosegrooves run rollers 7t which turn onpins 7" extending downwardly from asemi-circular platen 7 permitting the said platen to perform a to -and-fro movement relative to the grindstone. - On top of
platen 7 lie the support S which pivots about an axle lla (Fig. 3). It consists of aplate 11 and two oppositely disposed fixedjaws 12 which between them define a space which tapers towards thegrindstone 3. The space constitutes the emplacement for a drill holder. The holder comprises twojaws 13 which are loosely connected bypins 14, fixed in the side cf one ofjaws 13, entering holes 15 in the opposite,complementary jaw 13. The portion of bothjaws 13 which extends towards thegrindstone 3 tapers off gradually in that direction, he sides of thejaws 13 which face one another have each a longitudinally extendinggroove 16 in which the drill to be reconditioned can be placed. Within one of thegrooves 16, at its forward end, is positioned asmall pin 16a. The twojaws 13, held together bypins 14 can be slidingly inserted between the fixedjaws 12. At the rear end ofplate 11 extends - normal thereto - ablock 17, from which extends a rod orspiral spring 18 which holdsjaws 13 in position. - Underneath
plate 11 there is ascrew arrangement 28 by means of whichplate 7, with support S, can be moved within the V-shaped grooves 10" reciprocally relative togrindstone 3. To block 7 there iE connected ahandle 31 to which reference will be made later. From the outer side ofblock 17 extends a centrallybored bar 19 into which enters, viascrew 19a, a slender,elongated pin 20, which emerges from a bore inblock 17 to enter into a gap betweenjaws 13 and apply its end onto the rear end of the drill held betweenjaws 13. This pin can be immobilized. by a setscrew 21. By turningscrew 19a pin - It has been said that the support S pivots on axle lla. This movement on
platen 7 is delimited at both sides byabutments 22 fixed onplaten 7 which determine the drill point angle. Once the support S is moved to one of the two sides, it is secured by a ball anddent 30. - The
grindstone 3 is enclosed by aprotective hood 23 beside which is turnably affixed onplate 2, ablock 24, in which is held alocator 25 having a V-cutout 25, saidblock 24 having a collar 24' with amark 24". A second mark 25' is marked on theturnable locator 25. - The operation of the new machine may be effected by practising the following steps:
- 1. by placing the drill between
jaws 13 in such manner thatpin 16a enters a flute of the drill: - 2. placing
jaws 13 onplate 11 withinjaws 12 and securing them by means of spring orrod 18; - 3. entering
pin 20 into thegroove 16 and applying its end onto the rear end of the drills and immobilizing it by means ofscrew 21; - 4. now, block 24 is brought into position in front of the drill point by entering the point into the V-cutout 26 and turning the drill until the two
mark lines 24" and 25' will match, indicating that the drill is in the right position to start grinding; - 5. when this is accomplished, block 24 is brought to normal position by means of handle G; the whole assembly is swung about axis 9' to either x or y position (see Fig. 3a) due to the
inclined area 5 and the travelling of screw on them; - 6, by means of
screw 28, support 'S" is brought in contact with grindingstone 3; - 7. the actual grinding starts while moving the whole assembly reciprocally. The drill may be advanced by being turned by means of
screw 19a; - 8. after one flank is completed, handle 31 is lowered, thus pulling support S back, away from the grinding stone without changing the position of the drill, handle 6 is swung to the other side, and the support S is pivoted about axle lla to its second position, handle 31 is returned to its normal position, and the grinding starts again as above.
