Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for machining steel edges for skis or the like.
  • the steel edge at least partially, preferably at least in the area of the Outsole of the outer edge of the ski, d. H. of the outer lower corner of the Steel edge, or quickly warmed entirely with the help of a plasma jet, then quickly cooled again and hardened as a result.
  • EP-A-0 677 175 discloses the use of a plasma jet for curing Steel edges for skis or the like. To create an economical process and Ensuring a precisely defined, partial hardening of the steel edge in one Any length section is provided so that the steel edge is already on the ski before hardening is mounted.
  • the invention provides that an electric arc generated between the cathode and the anode of the plasma head and a gas flow through this arc and the anode of the plasma head to produce a plasma beam is passed through and the steel edge to be hardened electrically the anode of the plasma head switched as an anode, i.e. also polarized as an anode.
  • This characteristic facilitates the precise guidance of the plasma beam along the steel edge, since the plasma jet between the cathode in the plasma head and the Steel edge is automatically attracted to the steel edge as an anode. This is again a natural prerequisite for a precisely defined energy input into one exactly definable area of the steel edge.
  • the current intensity which is essentially the energy content of the plasma jet and thus determines the qualitative formation of the hardening process, significantly reduced and thus the energy in a gentler way in the steel edge be introduced.
  • This is also an important requirement for the hardenability of Steel edges already attached to the ski. These must be guaranteed that the Heating the steel edge material is not too strong to the adjacent To heat the material of the ski itself above a certain minimum temperature. Otherwise would damage the material of the ski, loosen or loosen connections, glue, for example to fix the steel edges in the ski, loosened or the like.
  • the length of the steel edge always has exactly the same energy, with this preferably by supplying the system steel edge plasma head with always exactly that The same current is achieved over the entire length of the swept Longitudinal area of the steel edge ensures an even, precisely defined hardening.
  • the plasma head and the Steel edge can be moved relative to each other in the longitudinal direction of the steel edge and the Plasma beam at least over a portion of the length of the steel edge preferably has regularly changing energy, this preferably by regular changes in the current supplied to the steel edge plasma head system is achieved.
  • Variable energy means that the temperature at every point of the Plasma beams are in the same direction and in a precisely predictable or determinable manner changed.
  • the plasma beam is simultaneously applied to both Outside of the steel edge directed and the axis of the beam preferably at an angle both outer sides, in particular in a range of 25 ° around the angular symmetry, especially precisely aligned in the angular symmetry.
  • the axis of symmetry of the outer edge to be hardened can be symmetrical or asymmetrical hardness zone and thus an adaptation to special wear situations or purposes can be achieved.
  • a symmetrical hardness zone on the outer edge, the shape of which is retained for as long as possible, even with post-processing preferably coinciding exactly with the axis of symmetry of the outer edge Alignment of the plasma beam can be produced.
  • a particularly advantageous variant of the method according to the invention provides that the Steel edge is first mounted on the ski, then an electric arc generated between the cathode and the anode of the plasma head and a gas flow through this arc and the anode of the plasma head to produce a Plasma jet is passed and the steel edge to be hardened electrically the anode the plasma head connected as an anode, d. H. also polarized as an anode, the area around the impact area of the plasma jet being cooled to such an extent that in the Transition area steel edge ski preferably the release temperature of the adhesive for the Attachment of the steel edge to the ski body is not exceeded.
  • the hardening of the Steel edges can be provided as the last step in ski production, because no impairment of other ski components by the inventive Hardening process occurs and therefore no further post-treatment steps are necessary are.
  • the steel edges already installed are therefore not mechanical Stresses, no risk of damage and none Functional impairment, such as when the edges harden before Mounting on the ski is the case.
  • the heating of the material of the steel edge surrounding areas of the ski contribute to self-deterrence due to the heat dissipation the area heated by the energy beam and thus the hardening process, so less thermal energy in other, more complex and costly ways must be dissipated. Just make sure that the temperature is not rises so high that the adhesive used to fix the steel edges is loosened or is decomposed.
  • the virtual expansion can be done in one or in any direction perpendicular to the axis of the plasma jet.
  • This offers the possibility of a larger area from the lower outer edge of the steel edge towards both sides by the virtual expansion of the plasma beam and to harden and thus, for example, post-processing by enabling to facilitate even removal of the material of the edge.
  • This variant also has the advantage of heating up the material very quickly to slow down the plasma beam somewhat due to the distribution of the energy and thus if necessary to achieve a lower hardness than the energy of the plasma jet would correspond. Since usually the area available for virtual expansion to the Outer edges of the steel edge is limited and if only hardening in a tight The area around the wear-prone edge is desired in the longitudinal direction Widened steel edge.
  • the physical cross section of the plasma jet itself preferably in the direction of the Longitudinal direction of the steel edge to be widened. This is a distribution of the introduced energy over a larger area and yet in a very narrow area around the actual edge of the steel edge to be hardened.
  • edges hardened according to the invention can also be used for tobogganing, bobsledding, Skates and the like are used or steel treads on these items be hardened by means of the method according to the invention.
  • a base frame designated 1 there are three guide devices 2 for the ski (not shown) provided, which in a known, preferably automated Precise lateral guidance of the ski, d. H. to the tenth of a millimeter ensure exactly.
  • adjustable guide rollers 3 On both sides of the ski's transport route are for this purpose adjustable guide rollers 3 arranged.
  • the ski to be treated is by means of a Conveyor belt 4, which is driven by a motor 5 which can be regulated precisely Drive roller 5a is set in motion, promoted by the system.
  • the Conveyor belt 4 runs over the deflection rollers 6a to 6f and is of such a nature that that a frictional connection by friction with preferably the tread of the Ski can arise.
  • the lower support roller 7 on which the ski rests with the tread is on one fixed or at least precisely fixable axis freely rotatable and out very hard material, preferably made of steel.
  • a relatively soft, elastic circumferential coating 8a pressure roller 8 the ski is pressed against the lower support roller 7, in particular also the Preload of the ski in the middle area - which the bulge of the ski caused between the front and rear support line - must be overcome.
  • the pressure roller 8 is adjustable in height, at most perpendicular to the ski guided resiliently to the unhindered passage of the shovel of the ski and to permit its insertion or removal from the device.
  • S denotes the ski, which already has the steel edges K to be hardened is provided.
  • This is particularly advantageous because when attaching the steel edges K to the ski S hardening that has already taken place leads to difficult handling of the edges K. would and there is a risk of damage (breakage) to the edges K.
  • the Ski S is pressed by the pressure roller 8 onto the support roller 7.
  • a device 9 for generating the plasma jet for heating each Steel edge K provided as this is faster - because on both sides at the same time successful - and thus more economical processing than that nonetheless possible arrangement of only one device 9 on one side of the ski S.
  • the devices 9 are on support structures 10, for example microprocessor-controlled robot arms, worn, these support structures 10 advantageously - as shown by the arrows in the symbolized lower part - controllably movable parallel to the axis of the support roller 7 are stored.
  • This mobility is necessary to make the device 9 easier Way, since only one movement in one direction is required, always exactly that keep the same distance to the steel edge K, no matter how the ski S is shaped. So can the plasma head 9 of any waist or other shape of the ski S be tracked.
  • the movement described is controlled by contact rollers (not shown), which are also provided on each support structure 10, which Contact roles are monitored by suitable sensors and the carrying structures 10 can be controlled so that the contact rollers always with the same pressure of the steel edge K.
  • devices 30 are provided, which the Current introduction into the steel edge K and its circuit as an anode compared to that in the Allow plasma head located cathode.
  • These facilities are preferably as Copper spring executed, for example, by means of two screws 31 on part of the Carrying structure 10 can be attached and one of the screws 31 at the same time serves to attach the power line 32 to the spring 30.
  • the detail IV (Fig. 4) shows two separate liquid-cooled heat sinks 12, which the Material of the components of the ski S surrounding the edge K from overheating preserves the energy beam E of the device 9.
  • the coolant preferably water with a maximum temperature of about 20 ° C, flows through the passages 12a in the preferably made of copper heat sinks 12.
  • These heat sinks 12 cover one Longitudinal range from a few centimeters to about 30 cm in front of and behind the impact area of the energy beam E. As clearly shown in Fig.
  • the plasma head 9 shown schematically in FIGS. 5a to 5c comprises a housing an upper part 13 and a lower part 14, which parts 13 and 14 at most by a part 15 of insulating material are electrically isolated from each other.
  • One each Connection element (not shown) on the upper part 13 or lower part 14 is for Supply or discharge of cooling medium for the plasma head 9 into the cooling channels 17 intended.
  • In the upper part 13 there is a cathode 18 in a manner known per se interchangeably fixable in a conventional holder 19.
  • the lower part 14 is a the free end of the cathode 18 at a distance surrounding guide piece 20 for the Gas flow with an outlet opening 21 for the gas subsequently to be ionized intended.
  • This guide piece 20 can according to a conventional embodiment of the Plasma head 9 is designed as an anode and switched accordingly. Through the due to the described method, the lower amperages are required Plasma head 9 and its insulating devices can be dimensioned smaller.
  • the guide piece 20 but only optionally as an anode is switchable, so that - at most after igniting the electric arc and the Plasma beams E with the aid of the anodically connected guide piece 20 and then depolarizing this guide piece - using a plasma hardening process Cathode 18 in the plasma head 9, neutral and only leading fluidically Guide piece 20 and an anode switched steel edge K is executable.
