Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lapidary system for a piece of hard material such as corundum and, more particularly, such a system for forming a bevel.
  • Watch ice wedges are generally formed by a wheel that moves tangentially at the angle of the bevel against the edge of the workpiece. This technique is widespread but is slow to operate, regularly causes grittiness (splinters of matter) and requires subsequent brushing.
  • WO 02/49802 A1 discloses a machining system of a bevel on a disc part, in particular a silicon wafer, comprising a polishing device comprising polishing means, a device for fixing the workpiece comprising a support on which said workpiece is fitted and which is integral with an axis of rotation, means for bringing the support relative to the polishing means to machine the workpiece under stress, the polishing means being movable and formed by a polishing strip rotatably mounted.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome all or part of the disadvantages mentioned above by proposing a machining system of a bevel for faster manufacturing and which lowers the scrap rate.
  • the invention relates to a machining system of a bevel on a timepiece glass comprising a grinding device comprising abrasive means an ice fixing device comprising a support on which is adjusted said mirror and which is integral with an axis of rotation, the fixing device further comprising means for orienting the axis of rotation to define the angle of said bevel and means for bringing the support relative to the abrasive means for machining the ice under stress, the abrasive means being movable and formed by an abrasive belt rotatably mounted, and the grinding device comprising, in the area of contact between the abrasive belt and the ice, elastic means to maintain contact between the abrasive belt and the ice.
  • the angle of the bevel of the workpiece is directly given by the inclination of the workpiece relative to the abrasive means and the stress induced by the means of approach allows to bevel more quickly by avoiding that the material undergoes excessive stresses while making unnecessary an additional step of brushing the bevel.
  • the invention relates to a machining system 1 of a bevel 32, 34 for a piece of hardened timepieces 31 made of hard material such as corundum.
  • the piece 31 may be especially intended to form a spherical ice timepiece.
  • the machining system 1 comprises a grinding device 3, a fixture 5 of the workpiece and a control device 7 making it possible to manage the actuators of the system 1, all the devices being mounted on a frame 2.
  • the grinding device 3 comprises abrasive means 4 which are preferably movable in order to improve the machining.
  • the abrasive means 4 are formed by an abrasive belt 6 rotatably mounted on two rollers 8, 10 and driven by an actuator 12 according to the movement A.
  • the grinding device 3 comprises a restricted zone 14 in which the abrasive means 4 are accessible and protected by vertical walls to limit the projections of material and secure handling.
  • the grinding device 3 further comprises, under the contact zone 14 between the abrasive belt 6 and the workpiece 31 to be machined, resilient means 9 in order to maintain contact between the abrasive belt 6 and said workpiece .
  • the elastic means 9 are formed by an elastomer block 11 such as rubber several centimeters thick and lining all or part of the restricted zone 14 under the abrasive means 4.
  • the fixing device 5 of the part 31 comprises a support 13 on which is fitted the workpiece 31 to be machined and which is integral with an axis of rotation 16 driven by an actuator 18 according to the movement B.
  • the fastening device 5 further comprises means 15 for orienting the axis of rotation 16 making it possible to define the angle ⁇ , ⁇ of the bevel 32, 34 and the means of approach 17 of the support 13 with respect to the abrasive means 4 to machine the workpiece 31 under stress.
  • the means of approach 17 comprise a vertical carriage 19 making it possible to move vertically in the direction C, the support 13 with respect to the abrasive means 4.
  • the orientation means 15 comprise, in a preferred manner according to the invention, a set 20 screw-endless - toothed wheel for shifting the inclination ⁇ of the axis of rotation 16 of the support 13 relative to the means
  • the angle of the bevel ⁇ , ⁇ of the part 31 is directly given by the inclination ⁇ of the part 31 with respect to the abrasive means 4.
  • the fixing device 5 comprises, preferably, a horizontal carriage 21 for moving transversely in the direction D, the support 13 with respect to the abrasive means 4.
  • the horizontal carriage 21 is used as a base for the fastening device 5 on the frame 2.
  • the horizontal carriage 21 supports the vertical carriage 19, itself supporting the orientation means 15 and the support assembly 13 - axis of rotation 16 - actuator 18.
  • the horizontal carriage 21 is moved via an assembly 23 of the connecting rod-crank type in order to move the support 13 transversely in the direction D with respect to the abrasive means 4 in a movement of va-and -Comes.
  • the assembly 23 of the connecting rod - crank type is connected to the horizontal carriage 21 at the bracket 22.
  • FIGS. Figures 4 and 5 An example of a part 31 modified by the machining system 1 is illustrated in FIGS. Figures 4 and 5 .
  • the part 31 comprises a substantially discoidal body 33 whose edges comprise bevels 32, 34 according to predefined angles ⁇ , ⁇ .
  • the piece 31 is a spherical ice, that is to say it has an outer radius 35 and an inner radius 36, the difference in dimension represents the constant thickness e.
  • the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example but is susceptible of various variations and modifications that will occur to those skilled in the art.
  • the shape of the piece 31 may be different and / or a different material corundum.
