Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an abrasive tool for working elements made of stone-like, ceramic or similar material, even with high hardness.
- Typically, abrasive tools are constituted by a metallic supporting body which is for example disk-shaped and has a working surface that supports the abrasive dust.
- The supporting body is mounted on a machine tool, for example a buffing machine, which transmits to the tool a motion, typically a cyclic, linear, oscillatory or rotary motion, so as to move the working surface into contact with the part to be worked.
- The tool can also be stationary, such as for example a lathe tool.
- Known abrasive tools, by way of example pads, are constituted by a metallic supporting body, typically made of steel, which has a working surface coated with a layer of abrasive dust (for example diamond dust) mixed with a bonding substance, such as for example an adhesive.
- However, although these constructive solutions are widely used, they are not free from drawbacks.
- First of all, the use of bonding agents causes a lower efficiency of the abrasive capacity of the working surface.
- Secondly, in order to ensure stable grip of the abrasive dust and of the bonding agent to the working surface, supporting bodies made of steel of considerable weight are often used: this causes an increase in the operating costs of the abrasive tool and in vibrations.
- The aim of the present invention is to eliminate or at least reduce drastically the drawbacks described above.
- Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide an abrasive tool that is provided without using bonding agents or adhesives.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an abrasive tool that is extremely light, so as to reduce operating costs and the risk of the onset of vibrations.
- This aim, as well as these and other objects that will become better apparent hereinafter, are achieved by an abrasive tool according to the provisions of the appended
claim 1. - Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the description of some preferred but not exclusive embodiments of an abrasive tool according to the invention, illustrated by way of nonlimiting example in the following figures, wherein:
-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an abrasive tool according to the invention; -
Figure 2 is a diametrical sectional view of the tool ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 3 is again a sectional view of a possible variation of the tool according to the invention. - The present invention relates to an abrasive tool, generally designated by the
reference numeral 1. - The
abrasive tool 1 comprises abase body 2, which forms aportion 2a for fixing to a movement device and is intended to be turned about amovement axis 100. - By way of example, the
fixing portion 2a can comprise a flanged portion that is integral with thebase body 2 to which a movement shaft is to be connected in a known manner. - The
base body 2 can be associated with a workingbody 3 that is extended around themovement axis 100 and has at least oneabrasive element 4. - Preferably, the
working body 3 has a substantially annular shape. - According to the present invention, the
base body 2 forms acoupling surface 2b for locking the workingbody 3 and alateral containment surface 5 that is intended to face at least one portion of the internallateral surface 6 of the workingbody 3. - Conveniently, the
coupling surface 2b is extended on a plane that is substantially perpendicular to themovement axis 100. - Advantageously, the
lateral containment surface 5 comprises a cylindrical surface that is extended around themovement axis 100. - Such cylindrical surface is extended at right angles to the
coupling surface 2b. - Preferably, there is a gap between the
lateral containment surface 5 and the internallateral surface 6 of the workingbody 3. - With reference to the embodiment shown in the figures, the
abrasive tool 1 is provided with means for the detachable fixing of the workingbody 3 to thecoupling surface 2b. - By way of example, the detachable fixing means comprise a plurality of threaded
elements 8 for connection between thebase body 2 and theworking body 3. - In order to facilitate centering and/or the transfer of torque from the
base body 2 to the workingbody 3, axial connection pins are conveniently provided. - The
base body 2 has, at the surface arranged toward the workingbody 3, acentral portion 10a that is recessed with respect to the top 10b of thelateral containment surface 5. - Conveniently, there is a connecting surface between the top 10b of the
lateral containment surface 5 and the recessedcentral portion 10a. - Such connecting surface comprises a
curvilinear shape 11 and/or an inclined or step-like plane 12. - If, as shown in
Figures 1 and2 , there is acurvilinear shape 11 of the connecting surface, it has been found that it is preferable for said curvilinear shape to have a concavity that is directed outward. - The
abrasive element 4 is extended at a higher level than the top 10b of thelateral containment surface 5. - According to one practical embodiment, at least one insulating layer 7 is interposed between the working
body 3 and thebase body 2. - The
base body 2 is made of metallic material and preferably of aluminum. - The
abrasive element 4 is obtained for example by sintering abrasive dust with metallic bonding agent in order to obtain a so-called sintered grinding wheel. - The working
body 3 is made advantageously of a metal or metal alloy which is optionally different from the one that provides thebase body 2. - Conveniently, the working
body 3 is made of steel. - Conveniently, the insulating layer 7 is made of polymeric material and in particular of silicone rubber.
- As an alternative, the insulating layer 7 can comprise a lamina made of plastic or metal, for example copper.
- The
abrasive tool 1 according to the invention allows to eliminate any vibrations that cause unpleasant acoustic resonance and low reliability, significantly reducing consumption thanks to the aerodynamic shape that is determined by the lateral containment surface and by the connecting surface. - Furthermore, the presence of the
lateral containment surface 5 allows to channel, during the rotation of the abrasive tool, a part of the air toward theabrasive element 4, limiting its overheating and increasing its life significantly. - In practice it has been found that the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects in all of the embodiments.
- All the characteristics of the invention indicated above as advantageous, convenient or the like may also be omitted or be replaced with equivalents.
- In practice, the materials used, so long as they are compatible with the specific use, as well as the shapes and dimensions, may be any according to requirements.
- All the details may further be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.
