Definitions

  • the present invention relates to clamping grinding wheels, in particular depressed centre wheels.
  • the invention relates to a clamping device configured to clamp a grinding wheel, preferably a depressed centre grinding wheel (still more preferably of the "Type 27" (in 115, 125, 150, 180 and 230 mm diameters, which are the most widespread), according to the ISO 603-14:1999 standard) on the driving spindle of a working tool and the working tool provided with such clamping device.
  • a depressed centre grinding wheel still more preferably of the "Type 27" (in 115, 125, 150, 180 and 230 mm diameters, which are the most widespread
  • Deburring abrasive grindstones, abrasive cutting discs and some type of flap discs are manufactured in various sizes and shapes, however they have in common the same system to be clamped to the portable working tool, commonly called “angular deburring machine”.
  • Such system provides that the grinding wheel is mounted on the shaft (or spindle) of the working tool and is sandwiched between two clamping flanges.
  • the tool shaft is made up of a threaded end (or distal) portion, a cylindrical frustum and finally a shoulder on which one of the two flanges, i.e., the rear or proximal flange, rests.
  • a prismatic connection is provided between the shoulder of the spindle and the rear flange, such to transmit the driving torque to the tool.
  • the rear flange is disc-shaped and provides a front face adapted to contact the grinding wheel, from which a central centering shank rises, which is configured to be fitted into the central hole of the grinding wheel determining the centering thereof with respect to the tool shaft.
  • the front flange is also disc-shaped and provides a rear face adapted to contact the grinding wheel, from which a further central centering shank rises.
  • the central hole of the front flange is threaded with a thread corresponding to that of the tool shaft, normally with M14 thread size (for European tools) or with 5/8" thread size (for Anglo-Saxon tools).
  • the front flange can thus be screwed on the tool shaft, with a screwing direction opposite to the shaft rotation direction, thereby when the grinding wheel starts rotating for grinding or cutting operations, such rotation tends to further clamp the flanges.
  • the front flange is further provided with a disassembling device, defined by two or four holes or by a prismatic facing, adapted to be engaged by specific wrenches to allow unscrewing and/or screwing the flange itself.
  • Such assembly system despite providing several advantages, such as the reliability, universality and strength of the flanges, generally made of steel, has however a functional limitation, in that the rigid assembly transmits all the vibrations generated by the grinding action from the grinding wheel to the tool shaft and, by the tool, to the hands and upper limbs of the operator.
  • Such vibrations may be due to the grinding action, however they are often due to the fact that the grinding wheels are displaced to a certain extent or have a difference of parallelism between the grinding wheel face which is in contact with the material being processed and the planes of the clamping flanges and/or density differences.
  • the presently known systems have some technical limitations, in that the maximum diameter of at least one of the known clamping flanges must be small (smaller than 44 mm), so as to couple with the concavities of the (depressed centre) grinding wheels and this involves a greater limitation for the contact area between the flanges and the grinding wheel which is generally always smaller than 2200 mm 2 (for the two flanges when they have the same diameter).
  • the outer diameters of the most widespread depressed centre grinding wheels are 115, 125, 150, 180 and 230 mm (corresponding to 4.5, 5, 6, 7 and 9 inches), the larger the outer diameter of the grinding wheel the greater the power of the motor and torque required. This means that as the driving torque imposed by the motor increases, even the clamping torque to be provided to the clamping flanges must increase in order to transmit efficiently the motion of the tool shaft to the grinding wheel.
  • the known elastic layers have necessarily a high hardness, for instance greater than 80 Shore A, and an obvious lower capacity of absorbing vibrations (and noise emissions) produced by the grinding wheel.
  • Documents US4637170A and GB1505943A disclose examples of clamping devices according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome the mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, within the context of a simple and rational solution and at a contained cost.
  • the invention makes available a clamping device for clamping grinding wheels on a driving spindle of a working tool, which comprises:
  • the front face of the rear flange is concave.
  • the front face of the rear flange may have an outer diameter larger than 70 mm, preferably between 70 mm and 80 mm and the maximum diameter of the front flange may be smaller than or equal to 44 mm.
  • the first damping element comprises a layer of an elastically yielding material, which extends throughout entire width of the front face of the rear flange.
  • the thickness of the first damping element may be substantially comprised between 2 mm and 4 mm, preferably equal to 3 mm.
  • the second damping element may have a hardness higher than (or equal to) 40 Shore A, preferably comprised between 46 Shore A and 90 Shore A, e.g., equal to 50 Shore A.
  • the first damping element may be removably associated to the front face of the rear flange, preferably by snap-fitting, but it may also be associated otherwise.
  • At least one the front flange and rear flange may comprise a centering shank on which the grinding wheel may be fitted, wherein the distal end of the centering shank has a beveled or rounded annular edge.
  • At least an annular edge may be hardened by a surface quenching or concrete-covering process but hardening can be extended also throughout the front and/ rear flange.
  • At least one of the front flange and rear flange may be made of a metal material, preferably selected from the group consisting in steel, aluminium, zamak, bronze o other metallic alloys, or made of a plastic material.
  • At least one of the first damping element and second damping element may have an active surface, adapted to be put in contact with the grinding wheel during use, wherein the active surface has a smooth or structured surface with a structure selected from the group consisting in cylindrical cusp-shaped reliefs, pyramid frustum-shaped reliefs, truncated-cone-shaped reliefs, raised radial ridges and concentrical circumferential ridges.
  • a further aspect of the invention makes available a working tool comprising:
  • the working tool comprises a body provided with one or more handpieces, within which an electric motor is enclosed that is powered by an electric power source (such as a battery or an electric wire connectable to an electric power supply grid).

  • the second damping element 34 i.e., its fixing surface 341 and/or its active surface 342, has an extension smaller than the extension of the first damping element 33, in particular its active surface 342 has an extension/surface area smaller than the active surface 332 of the first damping element 33 (and its fixing surface 341 has an extension/surface area smaller than the fixing surface 331 of the first damping element 33), for instance in a ratio greater than 4:1.
  • the second damping element 34 i.e., its fixing surface 341 and/or its active surface 342, extends throughout the entire width of the rear face 322 of the front flange 32, i.e., it has a width that is substantially equal to the width of the rear face 322 of the front flange 32.
  • the second damping element 34 coat/cover the whole rear face 322 of the front flange 32 (for instance, in such a way the active surface 342 defines the only resting/contact surface for the first face 21 of the grinding wheel 20).
  • the thickness of the second damping element 34 is greater (for instance of 0.5 mm) than the axial height of the annular relief 326.
  • the second damping element 34 may be freely associated to the (rear face 322 of the) front flange 32, i.e., simply lying thereon, or may be preferably fixed to the (rear face 322 of the) front flange 32, for instance removably or permanently.
  • the second damping element 34 is removably fixed to the (rear face 322 of the) front flange 32, so as to be replaced in case of wear, for example by snap-fitting (between the centering shank 313 and the annular edge 314).
  • the second damping element 34 may be fixed permanently to the (rear face 322 of the) front flange 32, for instance adherent thereto, by means of bonding or obtained as a coating (co-moulded with it).
  • the second damping element 34 has the fixing surface 341 substantially planar and parallel to the active surface 342 substantially (globally).
  • the fixing surface 341 and the active surface 342 are orthogonal to the central axis of the second damping element.
  • the active surface 342 may have a surface smooth finish.
  • the active surface 342 may have a surface structured finish, for instance with a structure selected from the group consisting in cylindrical-cusp shaped reliefs, pyramid-frustum-shaped reliefs, truncated-cone-shaped reliefs, raised radial ridges and concentric circumferential ridges.
  • the second damping element 34 i.e., the layer of yielding material it is made with, has a thickness larger than or equal to 40 Shore A, preferably comprised between 46 Shore A and 90 Shore A, for instance substantially equal to 50 Shore A.
  • the first damping element 33 is less hard than the second damping element 34, preferably in a mutual ratio 1:4.
  • the first damping element 33 (for instance pre-assembled to the rear flange 31) is fitted on the driving spindle 11.
  • the central hole 23 of the grinding wheel 20 is fitted on the centering shank 313 of the rear flange 31 and the portion of the rear face 311 of the (disc-shaped cap 25 of the) grinding wheel 20 is contacted with the active surface 332 of the first damping element 33.
  • the front flange 32 is clamped with a clamping torque such to press at least partially (though not totally) the first damping element 33, which in any case has in its deformed configuration a minimum thickness not smaller than 1 ⁇ 4 of the maximum thickness, preferably not smaller than 1 ⁇ 2 of the maximum thickness.
  • the entire area concerned by the clamping of the grinding wheel 20 between the active surface 332 of the first damping element 33 and the active surface 342 of the second damping element 34 is of about 5750 mm 2 , i.e., the sum of the width of the active surface 332 of the first damping element 33 (substantially equal to 4650 mm 2 ) and the width of the active surface 342 of the second damping element 34 (substantially equal to 1100 mm 2 ).
  • Reducing the specific pressure allows to reduce, as described above, the hardness of the first damping element 33 (if compared to the known systems, wherein the hardness of both damping elements is higher than 80 Shore A).
  • one first damping element 33 that is, so to speak, soft (hardness substantially equal to 45 or 10 or 20 Shore A) and with a significant thickness (substantially equal to 3 mm), allows the grinding wheel 20 clamped between the clamping device 30 to keep a wide swinging flexibility as damped by the intrinsic characteristics of the first damping element 33 and second damping element 34, consequently remarkably reducing the vibrations transmitted to the working tool 10 (and from it to the operator) and acoustic emissions.
  • clamping device 30 as it is, also improves how grinding wheels 20 wear out.
  • the clamping device 30 is configured to keep a floating and "non-rigid" clamping on the grinding wheel 20, which, therefore allows to strongly and efficiently soften the bouncing of the grinding wheel 20 on the workpiece, keeping a more constant contact between the leading edge of the grinding wheel 20 and the workpiece, remarkably improving the tightness and wear regularity of the leading edge.
  • the clamping device 30 acts on the grinding wheel in the same way as dampers of the vehicle wheel suspensions, which brake and soften the oscillating movements of the wheels caused by the road irregular conditions.
