The grindinghead 30a is completely visible inFIG. 2 , and only a part of the grindinghead 30b is shown from anotch 21 defined in theframe 20. More details of the grindinghead 30b can be seen inFIG. 4 . Thenotch 21 is provided for an extension of thecutting edge 140 to be positioned between the two grindingheads cutting edge 140. - The two
grinding heads heads head 30a is set forth as an example for a detailed description as follows. - The grinding
head 30a comprises asupport 31 and agrinding wheel 32 disposed on thesupport 31. The grindingwheel 32 is applied to contact and grind theside surface circular knife 10. - The
support 31 is pivotally connected to theframe 20, and is capable of rotating on theframe 20, which makes thegrinding wheel 32 capable of rotating and changing an angle relative to theside surface - With the rotation of the grinding
head head cutting edge 140 of thecircular knife 10 can be adjusted. That is, the angle between thegrinding wheel 32 of the grindinghead circular knife 10 can be adjusted. Through the adjustment of the angle between thegrinding wheel 32 and theside surface first bevel 142 and thesecond bevel 143 of theside surface 141 with different angles can be ground by asingle grinding head second bevels FIG. 2 andFIG. 3 show that the grindingwheels 32 are in a position of grinding thesecond bevels FIG. 5 andFIG. 6 , the position of the grindingwheels 32 are changed for grinding thefirst bevel wheels 32 of the grindingheads - In the present embodiment, a first
executive mechanism 33 is provided to connect thesupport 31 of the grindinghead 30a and drive the grindinghead 30a to rotate relative to theframe 20 around apivot 310a. Thepivot 310a is shielded by the grindinghead 30a inFIG. 2 , and at least part of thepivot 310a is shown inFIG. 4 . Thepivot 310a extends perpendicular to the plane of theframe 20. Apivot 310b associated with the grindinghead 30b is visible inFIG. 2 ,FIG. 4 andFIG. 5 . The firstexecutive mechanism 33 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder and other types of actuating mechanisms. The firstexecutive mechanism 33 has two ends. One end of the firstexecutive mechanism 33 is pivoted on theframe 20, and the opposite other end of the firstexecutive mechanism 33 is pivoted to thesupport 31 of the grindinghead 30a. With the backward or forward movement of the firstexecutive mechanism 33, the grindinghead 30a rotates around thepivot 310a and is shifted between two positions for grinding the first andsecond bevels FIG. 2 , theexecutive mechanism 33 moves backward, and thegrinding wheel 32 of the grindinghead 30a is in the position of grinding thesecond bevel 143 of thecircular knife 10. As shown inFIG. 5 , theexecutive mechanism 33 moves forward, and thegrinding wheel 32 of the grindinghead 30a is in the position of grinding thefirst bevel 142. -
FIG. 3 andFIG. 6 exemplarily show that the grindingwheels 32 coincide with thefirst bevels second bevels wheels 32 may be not coincident with thefirst bevels second bevels grinding wheel 32 and changing the angles between thegrinding wheel 32 and the plane PP' of thecutting edge 140, grinding bevels of different angles at each side of thecircular knife 10 with a single grinding unit is achieved. The angles that the grindingwheel 32 rotates relative to the plane PP' of thecutting edge 140 can be managed at a desired number of degrees by controlling the movement of the firstexecutive mechanism 33. Or in an alternative embodiment (not shown), thecircular knife 10 to be ground has a single bevel at each side thereof. After grinding by the grinding unit provided by the present disclosure, acircular knife 10 as shown inFIG. 1 , which has two bevels of different angles at each side thereof, can be obtained. - Further, in some embodiments, the first
executive mechanism 33 can be controlled to shift the grindinghead 30a between two fixed positions, such as the two positions as shown inFIG. 2 andFIG. 5 . Moreover, a stopper can be disposed on theframe 20 for stopping the rotation of thesupport 31. Abottom stopper 35 and atop stopper 36 are shown inFIG. 2 andFIG. 5 . InFIG. 2 , the firstexecutive mechanism 33 moves backward to drive thesupport 31 to rotate around thepivot 310a in clockwise, until thesupport 31 abuts against thetop stopper 36 on theframe 20. With thetop stopper 36, the rotation of thesupport 31 can be precisely controlled and the angle between thegrinding wheel 32 and the plane PP' of thecutting edge 140 can be also precisely controlled to improve the grinding of thecircular knife 10. Similarly, as shown inFIG. 5 , the firstexecutive mechanism 33 moves forward to drive thesupport 31 to rotate around thepivot 310a in anticlockwise, until thesupport 31 abuts against thebottom stopper 35 of theframe 20. With thebottom stopper 35, the rotation of thesupport 31, and the angle between thegrinding wheel 32 and the plane PP' of thecutting edge 140 can be precisely controlled to improve the grinding of thecircular knife 10. - Referring to
FIG. 1 again, if thegrinding wheel 32 rotates around the intersection A of the first andsecond bevels wheel 32 would match the first andsecond bevels grinding wheel 32. However actually thegrinding wheel 32 rotates around point B where thepivot 310a locates, instead of the intersection A. Thus, during the rotation of thegrinding wheel 32, one of thebevels wheel 32 more than expected and the other would be apart from the grindingwheel 32, leading to imperfect contact and other problems such as excessive grinding or inadequate grinding on different portions of thecircular knife 10. Therefore, there is a need to adjust the distance between thegrinding wheel 32 and thebevel grinding wheel 32. - In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a second
executive mechanism 34 is disposed on the grindinghead 30a to meet such a requirement. The secondexecutive mechanism 34 drives the grindinghead 30a to adjust the distance between the grindinghead 30a and thebevel circular knife 10. Specifically, the secondexecutive mechanism 34 is disposed on thesupport 31, and connects thegrinding wheel 32. The secondexecutive mechanism 34 drives the grindingwheel 32 to move relative to thesupport 31. - Similar to the first
executive mechanism 33, the secondexecutive mechanism 34 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a solenoid, a belt or cable driven device, an air bag, or other types of actuating mechanisms. As shown inFIG. 2 andFIG. 3 , the secondexecutive mechanism 34 drives the grindingwheel 32 forward to thesecond bevel 143 of thecircular knife 10. As shown inFIG. 5 andFIG. 6 , the secondexecutive mechanism 34 drives the grindingwheel 32 forward to thefirst bevel 142 of thecircular knife 10. The extent of the movement of thegrinding wheel 32 driven by the secondexecutive mechanism 34 can be controlled according to actual requirements such as whether need to grind thebevel bevel executive mechanism 34 is controlled by mechanical stops. As shown inFIG. 2 , the forward movement of the secondexecutive mechanism 34 is stopped by amechanical stop 38 formed on theframe 20 to control the grinding extent of thesecond bevel 143. As shown inFIG. 5 , the forward movement of the secondexecutive mechanism 34 is stopped by amechanical stop 37 formed on theframe 20 to control the grinding extent of thefirst bevel 142. - In the grinding process, the grinding
wheel 32 moves backward from thebevel grinding wheel 32 and the plane PP' of thecutting edge 140. After thegrinding wheel 32 is shifted between different angles, the grindingwheel 32 is controlled to move forward to adjust the distance between thegrinding wheel 32 and thebevel grinding wheel 32 is controlled by themechanical stop executive mechanism 34 functions as a clutch for making the grindinghead 30a meet a suitable portion of thecircular knife 10 or move apart therefrom. - In other embodiments, the
frame 20 can be designed as capable of moving along a direction parallel to the plane of theframe 20 and forward/backward the rotation axis OO' of thecircular knife 10. For example, a rail (not shown) may be disposed on theframe 20, and theframe 20 may move along the rail. In such a manner, the grindingheads circular knife 10 can also be meet or be parted as desired. - With the rotation of the grinding
head 30a, a circular knife of which each side having double bevels of different angles can be ground by a single grinding unit provided by the present disclosure. Compared with conventional systems, related costs and maintenance are reduced by the solution provided in the present disclosure. Especially in the cutting machine equipped with the grinding unit provided by the present disclosure, the circular knife having two bevels of different angles at each side thereof can be ground as desired, and the need for providing two or more grinding units for such a circular knife is eliminated, which simplifying the structure of the cutting machine and reducing the maintenance cost of the cutting machine. - In an additional embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 7 , thecircular knife 10 to be ground can have two bevels on each side thereof and achamfer 15 formed between the two bevels. Thecircular knife 10 having such "rounded" bevels has a better robustness and capacity of penetration. Thechamfer 15 can be obtained by combining the separate movement of the firstexecutive mechanism 33 and secondexecutive mechanism 34 simultaneously during the grinding process. - It is to be further understood that even though numerous characteristics and advantages have been set forth in the foregoing description of embodiments, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only; and that changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
