Referring toFig. 1 andFig. 2 , the present invention provides a grinding machine for grinding non-horizontal grinding surfaces, comprising agrinding power source 10 and a grindingpad 30 driven by thegrinding power source 10 to perform a grinding stroke on a non-horizontal grinding surface. Thegrinding pad 30 is made of an elastic material and configured to take a deformed state for adapting the shape of thegrinding pad 30 to the shape or profile of the non-horizontal grinding surface. Thegrinding pad 30 includes a flexible metal layer at the top, a compression layer made of a flexible material such as rubber or sponge in the middle, and a deformable soft grinding layer at the bottom. Thegrinding pad 30 with a deformed state generally is known from the prior art and has various implementation forms. That is, other embodied forms of thegrinding pad 30 will not be described again because they do not belong to the technical limitations of the specification. - According to the present invention, a
deformation device 20 is disposed between thegrinding power source 10 and thegrinding pad 30. Thedeformation device 20 comprises at least one receivingunit 21 for holding thegrinding power source 10, and twooffset units 22 disposed between thegrinding pad 30 and thereceiving unit 21. Besides, thereceiving unit 21 defines a reference horizontal line and the twooffset units 22 are respectively disposed near two opposite ends of thereceiving unit 21. Furthermore, thedeformation device 20 comprises at least onefirst deformation member 23 connected between each of the offsetunits 22 and the receivingunit 21, and at least twosecond deformation members 24 disposed oppositely and connected between each of the offsetunits 22 and the grindingpad 30. Therefore, when the grindingpad 30 performs the grinding stroke on the non-horizontal grinding surface to generate the deformed state, the at least onefirst deformation member 23 is deformed independently to define a first deformation angle R1 formed between anyone of the offsetunits 22 and the reference horizontal line of the receivingunit 21, and at least twosecond deformation members 24 are deformed to define a second deformation angle R2 is formed between the grindingpad 30 and the reference horizontal line of the receivingunit 21. Referring toFig. 1 , the at least twosecond deformation members 24 and the at least onefirst deformation member 23 are arranged in a staggered configuration. The at least onefirst deformation member 23 comprises fixingsegments central deforming segment 232. Each of the at least twosecond deformation members 24 comprises fixingsegments central deforming segment 241. The fixingsegments first deformation member 23 are respectively connected to the receivingunit 21 and the offsetunits 22, and the fixingsegments second deformation members 24 are respectively connected to the offsetunits 22 and the grindingpad 30. Moreover, thefirst deformation member 23 and thesecond deformation member 24 are one of a spring, a spring piece or rubber. - In order to facilitate the understanding of the deformation actuation state of the present invention, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described with the spring as the
first deformation member 23 and thesecond deformation member 24. Please refer toFig. 1 andFig. 2 , in the initial state or when the user performs the grinding operation of the horizontal grinding surface, the receivingunit 21 and the grindingpad 30 are relatively horizontal, and the offsetunits 22 and the receivingunit 21 is also relatively horizontal. - Please refer to
Fig. 3A andFig. 3B , which are schematic views of the deformed states of the present invention when grinding a concave surface. When the grindingpower source 10 applies a force to the receivingunit 21 when operated by the user to grind a concave surface, the force applied by the grindingpower source 10 and the feedback force generated from two ends of the grindingpad 30 cause the deformation of thecentral deforming segments first deformation member 23 and thesecond deformation members 24. Thus, the grindingpad 30 is deformed into the deformed state in which the surface of the grindingpad 30 is fitted to the radian of the curved surface. The deformation forms of thecentral deforming segments central deforming segments central deforming segment 231 of thefirst deformation member 23 is deformed, a first deformation angle R1 is formed between the reference horizontal line of the receivingunit 21 and the offsetunit 22 since the fixingsegments first deformation member 23 is respectively connected to the receivingunit 21 and the offsetunits 22. Meanwhile, a second deformation angle R2 is formed between the grindingpad 30 and the reference horizontal line when thesecond deformation members 24 are deformed. Accordingly, the relative variations of the first deformation angle R1 and the second deformation angle R2 constitute the deformed state of the grindingpad 30, so that the grindingpad 30 effectively fits to the curved surface as shown inFig. 3A . - Similarly, please refer to
Fig. 4A andFig. 4B , which are schematic views of the deformed states of the present invention when grinding a convex surface. Thesecond deformation members 24 are deformed to define a second deformation angle R4 formed between the grindingpad 30 and the reference horizontal line of the receivingunit 21, and thefirst deformation members 23 is deformed to define a first deformation angle R3 formed between the offsetunit 22 and the reference horizontal line of the receivingunit 21. The relative variations of the first deformation angle R3 and the second deformation angle R4 constitute the deformed state of the grindingpad 30, so that the grindingpad 30 effectively fits to the convex surface as shown inFig. 4A . - Referring to
Fig. 5 , when the curve position of the grindingpad 30 is changed during the grinding strokes, the deformation variables of thefirst deformation members 23 and thesecond deformation members 24 would be changed accordingly. Besides, in order to fit to different curved or convex surfaces, one or the combination of the first deformation angles R1, R3 and the second deformation angles R2, R4 would be changed accordingly. - Moreover, since two sets of the offset
units 22, thefirst deformation members 23 and thesecond deformation members 24 are independently disposed near two opposite ends of the grindingpad 30, each end of the grindingpad 30 is able to independently fit to the non-horizontal grinding surface based on the variable angles of the first deformation angles R1, R3 and the second deformation angles R2, R4. This is important for an irregular and continuous non-horizontal grinding surface as shown inFig. 5 , when grinding a surface comprises both convex and curved surfaces simultaneously, the grindingpad 30 of the present invention is independently deformed at two ends without interlinking each other, so that the grindingpad 30 includes different radians at two ends in the deformed state to keep fitting to the grinding surface. As shown inFig. 5 , the grinding surface of one end of the grindingpad 30 is in a convex-deformed state, and the grinding surface of another end of the grindingpad 30 is in a concave-deformed state. Therefore, the grindingpad 30 of the present invention maintains the independent deformed state of each end of the grindingpad 30 to fit to the grinding surface for effectively performing the grinding strokes. - Please refer to
Fig. 6 , the grindingpower source 50 of the present invention is configured for use in a power grinding machine of an electric grinder or of a pneumatic grinder. The power grinding machine includes apower shaft 51 connected to the grindingpad 30, and the power grinding machine is used as the grindingpower source 50 to drive the grindingpad 30 with thepower shaft 51 to perform grinding strokes of linear or eccentric track. - Please refer to
Fig. 7 andFig. 8 , the grindingpad 30 of the present invention is mainly of a rectangular shape, and the number of disposing sets of afirst deformation members 23a and asecond deformation members 24a are based on the different sizes of the grindingpad 30. For example, if the grindingpad 30 is larger in size, it requires a finer and more stable deformation balance during the grinding strokes. At this point, thefirst deformation members 23a are more than two disposed, thefirst deformation members 23a are preferably disposed in two sets, and the two sets of thesecond deformation members 24a are disposed at the four end points of the offsetunit 22. Each of thefirst deformation members 23a is preferably maintained to be arranged on a vertical line at a central position of the twosecond deformation members 24a in a staggered manner. In addition, depending on the deformed state required for different grinding surfaces, the deformation variable of thecentral deforming segment 231 of thefirst deformation members 23a of the present invention is greater than or equal to the deformation variable of thecentral deforming segment 241 of thesecond deformation members 24a. - In order to facilitate the implementation of operation of the present invention, the shape of the receiving
unit 21 basically corresponds to the rectangular shape of the grindingpad 30. The grindingpower source 10 is configured to be disposed at the central position or at the positions on the two sides of the grindingpad 30 depending on the size of the grindingpad 30. Referring toFig. 8 , which further discloses a receivingunit 21a comprising a coveringportion 211 extending to the grindingpad 30, and an outer portion of the receivingunit 21a further comprises anouter housing 212 covering the receivingunit 21a and the coveringportion 211 to assist in applying an external force. The coveringportion 211 and theouter housing 212 further include anopening 213 to connect an external dust remover (not shown) for removing the internal dust while the grindingpad 30 is performing the grinding strokes. - To summarize the above, through the mounting of the
deformation device 20 between the grindingpower sources pad 30 of the present invention, and because a set of the offsetunits 22 is provided, thefirst deformation members second deformation members pad 30 and the receivingunits pad 30 independently forms the variable angles of the first deformation angle R1 and the second deformation angle R2 to correspondingly fit to various non-horizontal grinding surfaces, especially for continuous irregular non-horizontal grinding surfaces.
