Definitions
- This invention relates to a grinding apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1 for, for instance, grinding, abrading, pencil-edging, smoothing or seaming a peripheral edge of the glass sheet by moving and angularly controlling a grinding wheel by means of a numerical control system.
- Such an apparatus is known from FR-A-2 587 260.
- the present invention relates to a grinding apparatus suitable for conducting a pencil-edging, smoothing or seaming of the edge of the glass sheet or plate which is used as automobile glass such as a windshield, a rear window glass and a side window glass.
- this invention is concerned with an improvement of an apparatus for grinding a glass sheet, which comprises a grinding head equipped with a grinding wheel and operates in the following manner. Namely, the grinding head is moved along a previously programmed outer profile of a glass sheet placed on an X-Y coordinate plane by means of a numerical control system and is orbited angularly around an axis or a vertical axis perpendicular to the X-Y coordinate plane during the movement along the outer profile so that a rotation axis of the grinding wheel is moved and positioned in the direction normal to the profile line of the glass sheet and the circumferential edge of the grinding wheel is brought into contact with the peripheral edge of the glass sheet.
- the apparatus is a type of an air float in which the grinding wheel is pressed against the peripheral edge of the glass sheet by means of an air cylinder disposed on the grinding head.
- the seaming is generally performed with the apparatus of the type of an air float in such a way that the grinding wheel is elastically supported under air pressure force developed by an air cylinder and softly contacts the peripheral edge of the glass sheet so that a delicate and fine grinding, for instance, of the seaming can be achieved. If the air pressure exerted on the air cylinder is increased, the grinding wheel is strongly pressed against a peripheral portion of the glass sheet so that it can be completely ground. Since the grinding wheel elastically contacts the glass sheet under the air pressure force, it is effectively prevented to cause a failed or incomplete grinding of the glass sheet.
- the grinding apparatus which is of the air-floating type and numerically controllable as mentioned above, has the following disadvantages.
- the grinding head of the grinding apparatus composed of the grinding wheel which directly performs the grinding of the glass sheet, the spindle for the grinding wheel, and other parts which are mounted thereon, is supported movably by a weak elastic force based on the air pressure. Therefore, when the grinding head is subjected to an excessive angular-control at the round corner portion of the glass sheet, the grinding head including the grinding wheel is deviated outward or vibrated by a centrifugal force so that the glass sheet is undesirably ground to generate deformation or distortion in its configuration and dimension. The distortion or deformation generated at the corner portion of the glass sheet is increased by an increase of working speed and a drastic angular-control of the grinding wheel, resulting in yield reduction of the products.
- FR-A-2,587,260 discloses a grinding apparatus in which the grinding tool is, in different versions, supported on an elastic air-filled cylinder or a rigid liquid-filled cylinder.
- an apparatus for grinding a glass member comprising: first means for supporting a glass member to be ground, second means for grinding the glass member supported by the first means, third means for moving the first and second means relative to one another in first and second, mutually perpendicular directions, and fourth means connected to the second means for orbiting the second means around an axis perpendicular to the plane defined by the first and second direction, said axis extending through a working point where the second means contacts with the glass member to grind the glass member, characterised by; fifth means connected to the second means for selectively elastically or rigidly pressing the second means against the glass member in a third direction normal to a profile of the glass member at the working point, and control means connected to the fifth means for controlling the fifth means to press rigidly the second means against the glass member when a grinding operation is in a first state and to press elastically the second means against the glass member in said third direction when the grinding operation is in a second state.

- the gear 20 engages with a bevel gear 21 having a shaft 22 which is supported rotatably by bearings 23 fixed on the carriage 11.
- the shaft 22 is connected to an output shaft of a servo motor 24 through a belt 25 and a reduction gear 26.

Description
- This invention relates to a grinding apparatus according to the preamble of
claim 1 for, for instance, grinding, abrading, pencil-edging, smoothing or seaming a peripheral edge of the glass sheet by moving and angularly controlling a grinding wheel by means of a numerical control system. - Such an apparatus is known from FR-A-2 587 260.
- Further, the present invention relates to a grinding apparatus suitable for conducting a pencil-edging, smoothing or seaming of the edge of the glass sheet or plate which is used as automobile glass such as a windshield, a rear window glass and a side window glass.
- More particularly, this invention is concerned with an improvement of an apparatus for grinding a glass sheet, which comprises a grinding head equipped with a grinding wheel and operates in the following manner. Namely, the grinding head is moved along a previously programmed outer profile of a glass sheet placed on an X-Y coordinate plane by means of a numerical control system and is orbited angularly around an axis or a vertical axis perpendicular to the X-Y coordinate plane during the movement along the outer profile so that a rotation axis of the grinding wheel is moved and positioned in the direction normal to the profile line of the glass sheet and the circumferential edge of the grinding wheel is brought into contact with the peripheral edge of the glass sheet. The apparatus is a type of an air float in which the grinding wheel is pressed against the peripheral edge of the glass sheet by means of an air cylinder disposed on the grinding head.
- Particularly,the seaming is generally performed with the apparatus of the type of an air float in such a way that the grinding wheel is elastically supported under air pressure force developed by an air cylinder and softly contacts the peripheral edge of the glass sheet so that a delicate and fine grinding, for instance, of the seaming can be achieved. If the air pressure exerted on the air cylinder is increased, the grinding wheel is strongly pressed against a peripheral portion of the glass sheet so that it can be completely ground. Since the grinding wheel elastically contacts the glass sheet under the air pressure force, it is effectively prevented to cause a failed or incomplete grinding of the glass sheet.
- However, the grinding apparatus which is of the air-floating type and numerically controllable as mentioned above, has the following disadvantages.
- Namely, the grinding head of the grinding apparatus composed of the grinding wheel which directly performs the grinding of the glass sheet, the spindle for the grinding wheel, and other parts which are mounted thereon, is supported movably by a weak elastic force based on the air pressure. Therefore, when the grinding head is subjected to an excessive angular-control at the round corner portion of the glass sheet, the grinding head including the grinding wheel is deviated outward or vibrated by a centrifugal force so that the glass sheet is undesirably ground to generate deformation or distortion in its configuration and dimension. The distortion or deformation generated at the corner portion of the glass sheet is increased by an increase of working speed and a drastic angular-control of the grinding wheel, resulting in yield reduction of the products.
- FR-A-2,587,260 discloses a grinding apparatus in which the grinding tool is, in different versions, supported on an elastic air-filled cylinder or a rigid liquid-filled cylinder.
- Accordingly, it is an aim of the present invention to provide an apparatus for grinding a glass sheet which reduces the aforementioned disadvantages due to the centrifugal force generated when a working or grinding head of the grinding apparatus is subjected to excessive angular-control, while keeping such an essential advantage which is accompanied by the grinding apparatus of air-floating type, that the seaming or smoothing operation is accurately achieved.
- According to the present invention there is provided an apparatus for grinding a glass member, the apparatus comprising:
first means for supporting a glass member to be ground,
second means for grinding the glass member supported by the first means,
third means for moving the first and second means relative to one another in first and second, mutually perpendicular directions, and
fourth means connected to the second means for orbiting the second means around an axis perpendicular to the plane defined by the first and second direction, said axis extending through a working point where the second means contacts with the glass member to grind the glass member, characterised by;
fifth means connected to the second means for selectively elastically or rigidly pressing the second means against the glass member in a third direction normal to a profile of the glass member at the working point, and
control means connected to the fifth means for controlling the fifth means to press rigidly the second means against the glass member when a grinding operation is in a first state and to press elastically the second means against the glass member in said third direction when the grinding operation is in a second state. - Other aspects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings illustrating by way of example the features of the invention.

- In FIGS. 1 to 6, a
grinding apparatus 1 has a working or grindingwheel 2 which is controlled by a numerical control device (not shown) based on a numerical command thereof to grind anedge 3 of a glass sheet orplate 4. - In the
grinding apparatus 1, a table 5 on which theglass sheet 4 is horizontally placed and fixed by means of anair suction device 6, is slidably supported in the direction of the axis X by aX-axis sliding device 7 mounted on abed 8 and is connected to aX-axis feed screw 9 which is connected to aX-axis servo motor 10, whereby the table 5 is rectilinearly moved on thesliding device 7 in the direction of the axis X so that theglass sheet 4 is also rectilinearly moved in the direction of the axis X when themotor 10 is driven by means of the numerical control device and then thescrew 9 is rotated on the grinding operation. - A
head carriage 11 from which a working or grindinghead 12 is suspended through abearing device 13 is mounted slidably in the direction of the axis Y on aframe 14 by means of a Y-axis sliding device 15 apart from the table 5 in an upper portion of theapparatus 1, the axis Y extending perpendicular to the direction X, theframe 14 being mounted onside frames 16a which are provided on the side end of thebed 8. Thecarriage 11 is connected to a Y-axis feed screw 16 which is connected to an output shaft of a Y-axis servo motor 17 by means of abelt 18, whereby thecarriage 11 is rectilinearly moved on thesliding device 15 in the direction of the axis Y so that thehead 12 is also rectilinearly moved in the direction of the axis Y when themotor 17 is driven by means of the numerical control device and then thescrew 16 is rotated by means of thebelt 18 on the grinding operation. - The
bearing device 13 mounted on thehead carriage 11 rotatably supports a orbitingshaft 19 extending in the vertical direction or along an axis Z which is perpendicular to the directions of the axes X and Y. The grindinghead 12 is suspended from the lower portion of theshaft 19 which is provided with abevel gear 20 at an upper portion thereof. Thegear 20 engages with abevel gear 21 having ashaft 22 which is supported rotatably bybearings 23 fixed on thecarriage 11. Theshaft 22 is connected to an output shaft of aservo motor 24 through abelt 25 and areduction gear 26. The orbitingshaft 19 is disposed perpendicular to a plane surface of theglass sheet 4 which is placed on the table 5 and defines the X-Y coordinate plane. - The
grinding head 12 includes abase member 27 which is connected fixedly to theshaft 19 at the upper portion thereof, a first slidingdevice 28 connected slidably to thebase member 27 for adjusting the initial position of thewheel 2 in direction P parallel to the plane X-Y by means of the rotation of aknob 29 with a screw, a second slidingdevice 30 connected slidably to thedevice 28 for adjusting the initial position of thewheel 2 in direction Q perpendicular to the direction P and parallel to the plane X-Y by means of the rotation of aknob 31 with a screw, and a third slidingdevice 32 connected slidably to thedevice 30 for adjusting the initial position of thewheel 2 in direction Z by means of the rotation of aknob 33 with a screw. - The grinding
head 12 further includes aspindle motor device 34 mounted on thedevice 32 slidably in the direction Q through aslider 35, themotor device 34 being provided on the lower end of the spindle thereof with thewheel 2 which has a groove on a peripheral edge thereof, and anair cylinder 36 mounted on thedevice 32 by means of a supportingmember 37. - The
motor device 34 has both functions of a spindle and a motor for driving the spindle. - The
slider 35 comprises abase plate 35a on which themotor device 34 is fixedly mounted, a pair ofshafts device 32 through supportingmembers 40 at the ends thereof, andslide bearings 40a fixed to theplate 35a and slidably connected to theshafts bearings 40a so as to be able to movemotor device 34 in the direction Q by only a small air pressure force developed by means of theair cylinder 36. - The
air cylinder 36 has a connectingrod 41 which is connected at the end of thereof to theplate 35a on which themotor device 34 is mounted, thereby themotor device 34 is supported in air-floating manner in the direction Q with respect to the theslide device 32 and therefore thebase member 27. An air cylinder, especially a low friction air cylinder, preferably bellow-diaphragm type cylinder produced by Fujikura Rubber Limited may be used as theair cylinder 36. - When the
motor 24 is driven by means of the numerical control device and then thegear 21 is rotated through thegear 26, thebelt 25 and theshaft 22 so that thegear 20 is also rotated around a center axis A which extends along the direction Z and through a working point B where the peripheral edge of thewheel 2 is contacted theperipheral edge 3 of theglass sheet 4 to grind theedge 3 of thesheet 4, thehead 12 and therefore themotor device 34 is orbited around the center axis A in the direction R, thereby thewheel 2 is also orbited around the center axis A. Further, when themotor device 34 is driven by means of the numerical control device, thewheel 2 is rotated around a rotation center axis C thereof to grind theperipheral edge 3 of theglass sheet 4 at the working point B during the grinding operation. Themotor device 34 and therefore thegrinding wheel 2 are supported by theair cylinder 36 movably and is pressed against theperipheral edge 3 of thesheet 4 in the direction Q normal to the peripheral profile of theglass sheet 4 at the working point B during the grinding operation. - A
brake device 42 is fixedly mounted on theslider 32 through abracket 43 at the position between thespindle motor device 34 and theair cylinder 36 which air-floatingly supports thedevice 34 with respect to the direction Q. Thebrake device 42 includeschuck claws 44 for chucking therod 41 at a closed position thereof to prevent therod 41 to move in the direction Q and to then fix themotor device 34 to theslider 32, and a fluid actuator, for instance,air cylinder 45 for actuating theclaws 44 by means of an air pressur to set theclaws 44 at the opened and closed positions, and an air valve (not shown) for controlling a supplying of theair 46 to thecylinder 45 by means of the numerical control device. - When the
chuck claws 44 is set to the opened position and therod 41 is released from the chucked state, theslider 35 and thespindle motor device 34 fitted with thegrinding wheel 2 are air-floatingly supported through thecoupling rod 41 by theair cylinder 36 in the direction Q. When thechuck claws 44 is set to the closed position and chucks therod 41, theslider 35 and thespindle motor device 34 is locked in theslider 32 and is therefore supported rigidly on thedevice 32 so that thegrinding wheel 2 pressed rigidly against theedge 3 of thesheet 4 at the point B performs the grinding or seaming operation without influence of air-floating movement. - The
apparatus 1 of the invention performs the seaming operation of theglass sheet 4 as follows. The grindingwheel 2 is moved along the programmed profile of theglass sheet 4 placed on the table 5. Thegrinding wheel 2 is controlled angularly around the axis A to position the rotation center C of thewheel 2 in the direction normal to the profile of theperipheral edge 3 of thesheet 4 at the working point B while being air-floatingly supported by means of theair cylinder 36. When a large centrifugal force is exerted on themotor device 34 due to an excessive angular-control conducted at the round corner portion of theglass sheet 4 to be ground, the numerical control device controls such that thebrake device 42 locks an air-floating movement of themotor device 34 with thewheel 2. On the other hand, in other peripheral portions where the excessive angulr-control is not conducted and the large centrifugal force is not exerted on themotor device 34, the locking operation of thebrake device 42 is released so that thegrinding wheel 2 grinds theedge 3 of theglass sheet 4 under soft air-elastic force. - The present invention may be also applied to a grinding apparatus in which the
motor device 34 is provided on the lower end of the spindle thereof with a smoothing wheel as the working wheel to smooth theperipheral edge 3 of theglass sheet 4 ground. - As is apparent from the aforementioned preferred embodiment, the
apparatus 1 according to the invention enables theperipheral edge 3 of theglass sheet 4 to be accurately ground or smoothed along the programmed profile including a round corner, resulting in achievement of a ceaming operation at both the round corner and other straight-line peripheral portions without any curvature.
