Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for the finishing of hanging parts by means of a vibrating machine.
  • the market offers vibrating machines allowing to obtain high quality finishing degrees on metal parts with various shape and size and, in particular, slight rounding off, roughness reduction and surface polishing. These operations are controlled by adjusting the frequency of the vibrations, the composition of the processing media, the geometrical shape of the same and the possible additives (cleansing, degreasing, polishing, abrasive and protection agents) wchich are fed into the processing bowls.
  • the vibratory finishing has therefore become a high precision step, applicable also to delicate parts or to parts of high intrinsic value, with extremely low running costs.
  • Processing media are typically commercialized in the form of chips having the maximum dimension, being the diagonal or the diameter, comprised between 2 and 60 mm and having different shapes, such as sphere, regular and irregular polyhedron, ellipse.
  • the amplitude of the vibratory movement trasmitted from the walls to its content can be controlled wheares the forming of preferential courses of the parts within the vibratory mass of media can hardly be avoided, as it is depending on many variables such as the particular shape and size of the parts themselves, the ratio between the weight and the volume of the parts, the difference between the specific weight of the construction material of the parts and that of the processing media.
  • SU-A-884 980 describes a device for suspending a workpiece in a vibrating unit containing a grinding media but it does not allow the treatment of more than one piece at one time in the same unit because the pieces are freely moving in the media and thus they should collide one with the another.
  • the device according to the present invention can obviate all the above mentioned problems while offering further advantages which cannot be obtained with other types of machines as will be made clear by the following detailed description.
  • the supporting element of the device according to the present invention can have the shape of a bar, a tubular element, a box-type structure made of two channel sections or other shapes suitable to the job.
  • the supporting element is represented by the cover of the vibrating unit.
  • This design offers a further advantage as it allows to obtain a reduction of the noise produced by the machine during its running.
  • the supporting element simply rests on the top edges of the vibrating unit without being fixed and, when moved vertically, all the parts are plunged into or extracted from the media at the same time.
  • the bars of the device have polygonal section, preferably triangular, rectangular or exagonal and the passing holes of the supporting element into which the bars are inserted have the same polygonal section but are oversized of a percentage comprised between 20 and 200% with respect to the bar.
  • this fundamental construction feature of the device according to the present invention allows the parts hooked to the lower end of the bar and plunged into the media, to move together with the bar but with different amplitude and course which are pre-set and adjusted following the shape of the bar and the ratio between the dimensions of the section of the passing hole and those of the section of the bar.
  • the result obtained is that parts move within the processing media following a given course without reducing the effect of the abrasive action and exposing the whole surface to the treatment in a homogeneous way.
  • the supporting elements rest simply on the edges of the vibrating unit and that also the bars are not fixed to the supporting elements, the risk of having parts damaged by the supports (happening if rigid supports are used) is avoided and the wear of the supports produced by the processing media is substantially reduced. Furthermore the mobility of the supporting element and relevant bars reduce the noise produced by the vibrating unit.
  • the bars have rectangular section shaped in such a way that the lower end of the bar is 90° rotated with respect to the upper end.
  • the support is lifted together with bars and parts and extracted from the vibrating unit, bars slide through the holes obtaining the 90° rotation of the parts, feature which represents a great advantage for the unloading of the finished parts and the following loading of new parts needing to be treated.
  • the vertically mobile device acts also as cover of the vibrating unit, with the further advantage to reduce the noise produced by the vibrating unit during the treatment.
  • This particular shape of the bars (2) allows parts to perform a 90° rotation when said bars (2) are lifted vertically assuming the position shown in figure 3, thus helping the operations of hooking and unhooking of the part (1) to the bar (2) carried out by the operator, at the beginning and at the end of the polishing treatment.
  • the supporting element (5) supports the bars (2) which are inserted through passing holes (6) drilled in said supporting element and yet free to move with respect of the same, as the upper ends of the bars (7) are wider than their bodies and therefore cannot pass through the holes (6) into which they are inserted.
  • the supporting element (5) rests on the top edges of the vibrating unit (8) and when moved vertically by means of the frame (10), all the parts (1) hooked to the bars (2) are simultaneously plunged into and extracted from the processing media (9) contained into the vibrating unit (8).
  • the parts (1) hooked to the lower end (3) of each bar (2) and plunged into the processing media (9) move together with this but with an amplitude and a course which are preset and adjusted following the possibility of movement of the bars (2) in connection with the relevant passing holes (6).
  • the parts (1) under treatment move within the mass of media (9) following a given course but exposing the whole surface to be polished to the abrasive action of media in a homogeneous way.
  • the bars (2) supported by the element (5) are 12, said number being in relation with the dimensions of the parts (1) to be polished. It is obvious that, if the dimensions of the parts (1) change, the number of the bars (2) will change accordingly so that the distance between two consecutive bars is such as to allow the movement of the parts (1) during the treatment without making parts enter in touch one with the other.
