Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the machining of shapes in mineral materials, in particular hard materials such as sapphire, corundum or spinel. More particularly, the present invention relates to a rotary tool for machining such mineral materials, in particular suitable for shaping an optical surface in a watch crystal.
- a method for forming an optical surface in the form of a converging lens included in the thickness of a plate of a transparent mineral material is known from document EP 0 123 891, in the name of the present Applicant and which is incorporated here by reference in its entirety.
- This process essentially consists in rotating the plate around a first axis perpendicular to the area where the lens is to be formed and in machining the desired area by means of an abrasive wheel driven in rotation around a second axis distinct from the first axis and intersecting this first axis at the center of curvature of the desired lens.
- An oscillating movement of the tool or of the plate around a third axis perpendicular to the plane containing the first and second axes of rotation and distant from the zone by a value equal to the desired radius of curvature of the lens is preferably set work, this oscillating movement ensuring self-sharpening of the grinding wheel.
- the rotary tool used for shaping the lens is an essentially cylindrical grinding wheel (even frustoconical) carrying, at its active end, abrasive material preferably constituted by powder of diamond.
- abrasive material preferably constituted by powder of diamond.
- the cost of this tool is relatively high taking into account the material to be machined (in particular in the case of a hard mineral material such as sapphire), the corresponding abrasive material necessarily having to be incorporated on the head of the tool. (typically a diamond powder or a carbide-based compound for machining sapphire), and the complexity of manufacturing this tool.
- the life of such a tool is relatively short and that its replacement must be carried out. periodically. The above points therefore weigh significantly on the manufacturing costs of the shaped object.
- the object of the present invention is to propose such a solution, namely a rotary tool for machining hard materials, in particular suitable for shaping a lens, or other optical surface, in a watch crystal made of hard mineral material ( sapphire, corundum, spinel or the like).
- the present invention also aims to provide a solution having both a low cost and a great simplicity of implementation.
- the present invention thus relates to a rotary tool for shaping a shape in a mineral material, in particular a hard mineral material, the characteristics of which are set out in claim 1.
- the present invention also relates to a method for shaping a deforming optical surface in a transparent mineral material, in particular sapphire, corundum or spinel, using a rotary tool of the above-mentioned type and the characteristics of which are set out in the claim 8.
- Another subject of the present invention is an installation for machining a mineral material, in particular a hard mineral material, comprising in particular such a tool and the characteristics of which are set out in claim 12.
- the tool comprises a body terminated by a head comprising an active surface intended to come into contact with an area of the mineral material where it is desired to shape the desired shape, the head of the tool having at least a first slot, preferably several, opening onto the active surface to form an opening allowing abrasive particles conveyed over the area where the desired shape is to be formed to lodge on the active surface and form, all along the opening or openings formed on this active surface, one or more cutting edges contributing to the shaping of the desired shape.
- the rotary tool does not strictly speaking constitute an abrasive tool for the mineral material considered.
- the abrasive power of the tool is created jointly by the tool (in particular by the slot (s) made on the head of the tool and the corresponding openings on the active surface of the head) and the abrasive particles conveyed. on the machining area.
- Each opening on the active surface formed by the corresponding slot allows the abrasive particles to lodge there and accumulate therein to form, on the active surface of the head of the tool, a outgrowth with high abrasive power having the function of a cutting edge.
- the rotary tool itself thus constitutes a matrix making it possible to fix or freeze the abrasive particles in an adequate configuration allowing the abrasion of the mineral material to be shaped.
- the head of the tool is advantageously formed of a material which is non-abrasive for the mineral material considered and which exhibits a compromise between hardness and softness in order to maintain and guarantee the shape of the head and, respectively, allow the abrasive particles to get there implanted.
- This material can for example be a metal selected from the group comprising copper Cu, zinc Zn, tin Sn and iron Fe (or a metal alloy comprising at least one of these metals).
- the arrangement of the slots openings on the active surface of the tool head can follow any suitable geometric arrangement, the simplest being an arrangement of one or more slots of essentially rectilinear geometry. Slots forming diametric or parallel openings on the active surface of the tool head can be provided in adequate numbers on the tool head.
- each slot it is preferable to arrange each slot so that, during a rotation of the tool, the cutting edge thus formed covers a surface of revolution delimited only by a contour. external, that is to say a solid surface having no central recess.
- a considerable advantage of the present invention lies in the fact that the rotary tool is very simple and very inexpensive to manufacture, in particular because of the type of material which can be used for the manufacture of the tool and because of the absence of any abrasive incorporated on the head of the tool, this abrasive being conveyed directly to the machining area in the form of abrasive particles conveyed by a fluid or a liquid.
- an advantageous variant consists in providing at least one slot so that it also acts as a channel for conveying the abrasive particles.
- the costs associated with shaping the desired shape in the mineral material considered can thus be reduced very substantially.
- This advantage is particularly decisive in the context of the shaping of hard mineral materials, such as sapphire, corundum or spinel, used in particular in the watch industry for the manufacture of watch glass.
- the present invention is therefore particularly suitable for the shaping of optical surfaces, or dioptres, (in particular deforming optical surfaces such as magnifying lenses) in transparent mineral materials having a high hardness, including sapphire.
- FIG. 1 shows a machining installation specifically adapted to the shaping of a deforming optical surface (for example a lens with a convex spherical surface) in a hard and transparent mineral material, in particular in a watch crystal, this installation using a rotary tool according to the present invention;
- a deforming optical surface for example a lens with a convex spherical surface
- - Figure 2 is a perspective view of the terminal part, or head, of a rotary tool according to an embodiment of the present invention
- - Figure 3 is a front view of the active surface of the head of the rotary tool of Figure 2;
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the rotary tool, taken along line A-A in Figure 3;
- FIG. 5 is an example of implementation of the rotary tool according to the invention for the machining of a convex spherical lens with circular periphery in a plate of transparent mineral material.
- the machining installation illustrated in FIG. 1 is essentially similar to the installation presented in the document EP 0 123 891 mentioned above. It comprises a support frame 10 on which are mounted a bracket 12 and a headstock 14.
- the bracket 12 carries a spindle 16 at the end of which is a rotary tool 20, of the same axis, designated 42, as the spindle, comprising an essentially cylindrical body terminated by a head 20a intended to come into contact with an area of the mineral material to be machined.
- a pulley 18, mounted on the spindle 16 makes it possible to drive the latter in rotation about the axis 42 by means of a motor not shown.
- the bracket 12 further comprises slides 22, 24 and 26 allowing, in a completely conventional manner, the movement of the tool 20 along three orthogonal axes. More specifically, the slide 22 allows, using a micrometric screw 23, to move the tool vertically along its axis of rotation, while the slides 24 and 26 allow, using the micrometric screws 25 and 27, respectively, to move the tool 20 in a horizontal plane in two perpendicular directions.
- the headstock 14 carries a spindle 28 whose end 28a adjacent to the bracket 12 is, by virtue of an elbow 28b, offset downward relative to the axis of rotation, designated 44, of the spindle 28.
- a table 30 is mounted on a shaft 32 which is perpendicular to the axis 44 of the spindle 28 and which pivots in the end 28a.
- This shaft carries a pulley 34 which makes it possible to drive it in rotation about an axis of rotation, designated 40, by virtue of a motor not shown in the figure.
- a fitting 36, integral with the table 30, makes it possible to fix a plate 38 made of mineral material.
- This plate 38 may for example be made of a hard and transparent mineral material of the sapphire, corundum or spinel type, such as a plate forming a watch crystal which it is desired to provide with a lens or any other deforming optical surface.
- the tool 20 as well as the setting 36 are both driven in rotation in opposite directions of rotation.
- the fitting 36 has a thickness here such that the distance between the axis of the spindle 28 and the end point of the spherical surface which it is desired to shape (located on the axis of rotation 40 of the shaft 32 ) is equal to the radius of curvature, designated R, which this spherical surface must have.
- the spindle 28 can be associated with drive means (not shown) allowing it to impart an oscillating movement of low amplitude or at least adjust its inclination relative to the horizontal plane.
- the installation has several possibilities for driving and positioning the tool 20 and the plate 38.
- various operating methods of the installation can be envisaged, these various operating modes all having in common at least the rotation of the tool 20 about its axis of rotation 42.
- This rotation can, if necessary, be accompanied by a rotation or an oscillating movement of the plate 38 around its axis of rotation 40 and / or an oscillating movement of the plate 38 around the axis of the spindle 28 (this oscillating movement can alternately be printed with the tool 20 if the bracket was fitted 12 adequate means).
- this oscillating movement can alternately be printed with the tool 20 if the bracket was fitted 12 adequate means.
- the machining installation includes means for conveying abrasive particles over the zone of the mineral material where the desired shape is to be shaped.
- These routing means are illustrated schematically in Figure 1 and essentially comprise a reservoir 50 containing a fluid carrying abrasive particles (for example a diamond powder suspended in an oil) and a supply conduit 52 for conveying this fluid to the machining zone. Means not shown make it possible to adjust the quantity of abrasive particles conveyed on the machining zone. It will be understood, in what follows, that the routing of abrasive particles on the machining area as well as the rotary tool according to the invention contribute together to the shaping of the desired shape in the plate of mineral material.
- Figures 2 to 4 respectively show a perspective view, a front view and a sectional view of the end portion of a rotary tool 20 constituting a particular embodiment of the present invention.
- the body of the rotary tool 20 is terminated by a head 20a comprising an active surface 200 intended to come into contact with the area of the mineral material where it is desired to shape the shape desired.
- the active surface 200 of the tool has the form of a concave spherical cap whose radius of curvature corresponds to the radius of curvature R of the shape to be shaped, in this example a convex spherical optical surface.
- the active surface 200 of the tool 20 could have a shape other than strictly spherical.
- the active surface 200 of the head 20a could take the form of a torus part, by analogy to the shape of the grinding wheel envisaged as a second variant in document EP 0 123 891 (this particular form then requiring adjustment specific to the installation).
- the active surface of the tool can take any suitable shape.
- the shape formed in the mineral material will depend not only on the shape of the active surface of the tool but also on the movement or movements imparted to the tool and / or to the plate. The shape of the active surface of the tool head is therefore not necessarily conform to the shape of the surface to be shaped.
- the head 20a of the tool has at least one first slot opening onto the active surface 200 to form an opening there.
- the head 20a of the tool here has a pair of diametrical slots 210, 220, that is to say two substantially straight slots provided according to two diametrical planes passing through the axis of rotation 42 of the tool 20.
- These diametrical slots 210, 220 which run through the end of the head 20a are here arranged in a substantially perpendicular manner and consequently form a pair of perpendicular openings 210a, 220a on the active surface 200 of the tool.
- the active surface 200 of the rotary tool 20 is subdivided, in this example, into four separate parts having, here, substantially equal areas.
- the arrangement as well as the geometry of the slots 210, 220 illustrated in this exemplary embodiment are in no way limiting. A single slot or more than two slots could thus be formed on the head. In addition, these slots, instead of being cut, could be parallel. Finally, the slots and the corresponding openings on the active surface of the tool head may not be rectilinear, this particularly simple geometry being nevertheless the easiest to produce. For example, the head of the tool could only be provided with a single slot, this slot not necessarily covering the entire width of the active surface. It will be noted that it is preferable for the slot to be configured so that, during a rotation of the tool, the cutting edge formed by the corresponding opening in this slot covers a surface of revolution delimited only by a contour.
- each opening on the active surface formed by the corresponding slot allows the abrasive particles to lodge there and accumulate therein to form, on the active surface of the head of the tool, a strong protrusion abrasive power having the function of a cutting edge, the rotary tool thus constituting a matrix making it possible to fix or freeze the abrasive particles in an adequate configuration allowing the abrasion of the mineral material to be shaped.
- the tool 20 can advantageously be made of a material which is non-abrasive for the mineral material in question, preferably of a material having a compromise between hardness and softness in order to maintain and guarantee the shape of the head and, respectively, allow abrasive particles to settle there.
- This material can thus be a metal or a metal alloy comprising at least one metal selected from the group comprising copper Cu, zinc Zn, tin Sn and iron Fe.
- l 'A slot of the tool can be configured so that it also acts as a channel for conveying the abrasive particles to the machining area. This slot shaped as a conveying channel would, in this case, be an integral part of the means for conveying the abrasive particles and could replace or complete the supply duct 52 of FIG. 1.
- the tool illustrated in Figures 2 to 4 can be implemented very easily to shape a converging lens in the thickness of a plate of transparent mineral material. To do this, it is for example necessary to tilt the plate 38 by means of the pin 28 of FIG. 1 by a determined angle, designated ⁇ , also corresponding to the angle formed by the axis 42 of the tool 20 relative to the axis of rotation 40 of the plate 38 (that is to say the perpendicular to the zone where the lens must be formed and which passes through the center of this zone), the axes 40, 42 all passing two by the center of curvature C of the spherical surface to be shaped, designated 380 in FIG. 5.
- ⁇ the angle formed by the axis 42 of the tool 20 relative to the axis of rotation 40 of the plate 38
- the reference numeral 500 generally denotes a mixture conveyed on the machining zone containing abrasive particles.
- the simultaneous rotation of the tool 20 and of the plate 38 around their respective axes of rotation and the adjustment of the angle ⁇ between these axes of rotation ensures that the active surface 200 of the he tool shapes a portion of a convex spherical surface of radius of curvature R having a circular periphery (in other words a convex spherical cap).
- the diameter of the head of the tool designated d, must have a minimum value which is greater than half the diameter, designated D, of the lens to be shaped.
- the diameter d of the tool 20, in this particular embodiment, must at least be equal to the diameter D of the desired lens divided by the cosine of the angle ⁇ . It will be noted that the angle ⁇ is in practice less than 20 °, preferably less than 10 °.
- a movement oscillating around an axis perpendicular to the axes of rotation 42, 40 and passing through the center of curvature C of the lens to be shaped (namely an oscillating movement around the axis 44 of the spindle 28 in FIG. 1) can be printed on the plate 38 (or even with the tool).
- the maximum angle of inclination of the plate 38 relative to the tool 20, designated ⁇ max can be expressed by the following formula, which is valid for movements of small amplitude (small angles ⁇ ):
- the active surface of the tool head may have a shape other than spherical insofar as it is not desired to subject the tool to a relative movement relative to the plate of mineral material to be machined. It is thus possible to give the active surface of the tool a non-spherical shape of revolution and to shape a corresponding shape in the mineral material by only rotating the tool (or even also rotating the material plate mineral around an axis coincident with the axis of rotation of the tool).
- the particularly simple spherical shape of the active surface of the tool head constitutes a particularly simple solution to implement, flexible to use and which makes it possible to shape recesses of various forms in the material.
- the arrangement of the slot (s) on the active surface of the tool head can follow any suitable geometric arrangement, the simplest of these geometric arrangements being constituted by one or more essentially rectilinear slots. .
