- the airflow generating member 62 when the airflow generating member 62 rotates, the airflow generating member 62 introduces air through the vent holes 611 for heat dissipation.
- the vent holes 611 are spaced apart from one another and the airflow generating member 62 is too close to the vent holes 611, the vent holes 611 cannot produce the expected effect in practice.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to an electric tool grinding machine, particularly to an electric tool grinding machine with a grinding disc cover capable of guiding airflow outlet direction, and the grinding disc cover is without lateral vent hole.
- An existing electric tool grinding machine is generally attached with an airflow generating member to an eccentric block to which the tool grinding machine belongs, so as to generate heat dissipation airflow through the airflow generating member, and discharge waste heat generated by the electric tool grinding machine during operation. One such embodiment is as provided in European Patent No.
EP2132000B1 , or as depicted inFIG. 1 . In the technical solution shown inFIG. 1 , agrinding disc cover 61 of an electrictool grinding machine 60 is provided withvent holes 611 arranged at intervals in a lateral direction, anairflow generating member 62 is disposed close to thevent holes 611, and at the same time close to a port of thegrinding disc cover 61 connected to agrip body 63. Ideally, when theairflow generating member 62 rotates, theairflow generating member 62 introduces air through thevent holes 611 for heat dissipation. However, because thevent holes 611 are spaced apart from one another and theairflow generating member 62 is too close to thevent holes 611, thevent holes 611 cannot produce the expected effect in practice. When one of thevent holes 611 intakes air, an adjacent one of thevent holes 611 discharges air, resulting in a short flow problem (also known as short cycle), as shown inFIG. 2 . As a result, air intake of thevent holes 611 is not as efficient as expected, and the short flow problem further causes the heat dissipation effect of theairflow generating member 62 to be limited on the eccentric block. Although waste heat can be exhausted as the eccentric block is connected to anelectric motor 64, a diameter of a shaft of the eccentric block connecting with theelectric motor 64 is generally small, and the waste heat transfer speed is not as fast as the speed of heat generated by theelectric motor 64 itself, resulting in continuous accumulation of waste heat, which affects the user's feeling when holding and using the electrictool grinding machine 60. - Furthermore, although some embodiments are implemented with a plurality of
air inlet holes 631 on thegrip body 63, the outside air is sucked in through the plurality ofair inlet holes 631 by rotation of theairflow generating member 62 to form a heat dissipation airflow. Based on the aforementioned structures, it can be known that theairflow generating member 62 has the problem of poor air intake efficiency and cannot generate suction that meets the requirements. As a result, air volume of the heat dissipation airflow is insufficient to effectively dissipate heat from theelectric motor 64, and therefore the problem of waste heat accumulation of theelectric motor 64 is still serious. In addition, the above-mentioned structure is originally expected to enhance heat exchange with theelectric motor 64 through a large air volume, but the conventional solution does not take fluid mechanics of thegrinding disc cover 61 into consideration, which arranges thegrinding disc cover 61 only to provide the function of shielding agrinding disc 65. An inner wall of the existinggrinding disc cover 61 is an inclined surface, and an end of the inclined surface faces thegrinding disc 65. The above-mentioned design will cause the heat dissipation airflow to be discharged directly to thegrinding disc 65, the heat dissipation airflow impacting thegrinding disc 65 will cause turbulence in thegrinding disc cover 61, turbulence will affect the exhaust air, and results in failure in achieving the originally expected large air volume. - Currently, the only solution that can solve the aforementioned problems is to implement an active
dust suction structure 71 on an electrictool grinding machine 70, as shown inFIG. 3 or European Patent No.EP2946710B1 . As shown inFIG. 3 , an air inlet of the activedust suction structure 71 is asuction port 721 formed on agrinding disc cover 72. During implementation, the activedust suction structure 71 generates suction in a space in thegrinding disc cover 72, the aforementioned suction is obviously greater than the suction generated by anairflow generating member 73, and also a large amount of air sucked in through a plurality ofair inlets 741 on agrip body 74 contributes greatly to heat dissipation of anelectric motor 75. - However, not all electric tool grinding machines can be equipped with the active dust suction structure, and therefore there is still a need for a solution to solve heat accumulation of the electric motor when the electric tool grinding machine is not equipped with the active dust suction structure.
- A main object of the invention is to solve the consequence of the conventional grinding disc cover on a heat dissipation airflow.
- A secondary object of the invention is to solve the problem that heat accumulated in an electric motor of the conventional electric tool grinding machine cannot be easily discharged.
- In order to achieve the above objects, the invention provides an electric tool grinding machine including a grip body, an electric motor, an eccentric block, a grinding disc, an airflow generating member, and a grinding disc cover. The grip body is formed with at least one air intake hole. The electric motor is disposed in the grip body. The eccentric block is connected to the electric motor and rotates with the electric motor. The grinding disc is assembled with the eccentric block. The airflow generating member is attached on the eccentric block. When the electric motor rotates, the airflow generating member forms a heat dissipation airflow in the grip body. The grinding disc cover is assembled with the grip body and covers the airflow generating member therein. The grinding disc cover includes a cover body, an assembly port formed at an end of the cover body and assembled with the grip body, and a release port formed at an other end of the cover body and facing the grinding disc. The cover body is devoid of a vent hole other than the assembly port and the release port. The release port is the only exhaust part of the grinding disc cover. When the release port is viewed from a direction of the assembly port toward the release port, an inner wall of the release port sequentially includes a flow guiding section, an arcuate diversion section, and an air outlet section with a slope different from a slope of the flow guiding section. The arcuate diversion section divertes an airflow direction of the heat dissipation airflow discharged between the grinding disc cover and the grinding disc to be parallel to the grinding disc.
- In one embodiment, the airflow generating member includes a baseplate and a plurality of fan blades separated provided on the baseplate, a distance defined between a top edge of each of the plurality of fan blades and the grip body is greater than 50% of a longitudinal length of each of the plurality of fan blades, and a distance defined between an outer edge of each of the plurality of fan blades and the grinding disc cover is greater than 50% of a radial length of each of the plurality of fan blades.
- In one embodiment, a horizontal level of the release port is equal to or lower than a horizontal level of the baseplate inside the grinding disc cover.
- In one embodiment, a distance defined between the release port and each of the plurality of fan blades is greater than a radial length of each of the plurality of fan blades.
- In one embodiment, the cover body includes an inclined surface between the assembly port and the release port, the inclined surface is connected with the flow guiding section of the release port, and a slope of the flow guiding section is same as a slope of the inclined surface.
- In one embodiment, a horizontal level of a top end of the inclined surface is same as or higher than a horizontal level of each of the plurality of fan blades.
- In addition to the foregoing, the invention further provides a grinding disc cover of an electric tool grinding machine including a cover body, an assembly port formed at an end of the cover body, and a release port formed at an other end of the cover body and coaxially disposed with the assembly port. A diameter of the release port is greater than a diameter of the assembly port, when the release port being viewed from a direction of the assembly port toward the release port, an inner wall of the release port sequentially includes a flow guiding section, an arcuate diversion section, and an air outlet section with a slope different from a slope of the flow guiding section. The cover body is devoid of a vent hole other than the assembly port and the release port.
- In one embodiment, the cover body includes an inclined surface between the assembly port and the release port, the inclined surface is connected with the flow guiding section of the release port, and a slope of the flow guiding section is same as a slope of the inclined surface.
- In one embodiment, the cover body includes an engaging ring formed around the assembly port, and a continuous concave-convex structure is formed on an inner side of the engaging ring.
- Through the aforementioned implementation of the invention, compared with the conventional technique, the invention has the following features: the grinding disc cover of the invention has an attached effect (also known as the Coanda effect) on an inner wall of the release port, so that the heat dissipation airflow is not discharged directly toward the grinding disc to avoid turbulence and to make the heat dissipation airflow to flow smoothly. Further, due to smooth discharge of the heat dissipation airflow, the heat dissipation airflow generated in the electric tool grinding machine is increased, which solves the problem that it is not easy to dissipate heat from the electric motor of the conventional electric tool grinding machine.

Thegrip body 21 can be formed by connecting a plurality ofshells 211. In addition to providing theelectric motor 22 to dispose in an inner space of thegrip body 21, acontrol circuit board 27 for controlling operation of theelectric motor 22 is also disposed in the inner space of thegrip body 21. One of the plurality ofshells 211 is provided with amotor housing 212 capable of covering theelectric motor 22 therein. In addition, thegrip body 21 is provided with a plurality of air intake holes 213, the plurality of air intake holes 213 are respectively opened on an outer surface of part of thegrip body 21 corresponding to thecontrol circuit board 27, and an outer surface of thegrip body 21 providing a part where a user's fingers grasp. In one embodiment, thegrip body 21 includes at least oneair hole 214 that communicates with an inside of thegrip body 21 and thegrinding disc cover 26. The at least oneair hole 214 is formed on one of the plurality ofshells 211 which is provided with themotor housing 212, and the at least oneair hole 214 is disposed along an edge of themotor housing 212. Further, theair hole 214 is arcuate. - Furthermore, the
electric motor 22 can be an internal rotor motor or an external rotor motor. Theeccentric block 23 is connected to arotor 221 of theelectric motor 22 and rotates with therotor 221. In one embodiment, theeccentric block 23 comprises afirst part 231 connected to theelectric motor 22, and asecond part 232 connected to thefirst part 231. A center of thesecond part 232 offsets from a center of thefirst part 231. The grindingdisc 24 is assembled on theeccentric block 23. Anair exhaust area 28 is defined between the grindingdisc 24 and an edge of thegrinding disc cover 26. - Please refer to
FIG. 5 , theairflow generating member 25 is attached on theeccentric block 23 and located in a space defined by the grindingdisc cover 26. Theairflow generating member 25 and theeccentric block 23 rotate together. Theairflow generating member 25 comprises abaseplate 251 and a plurality offan blades 252 disposed on thebaseplate 251. The plurality offan blades 252 are of a same shape, and the plurality offan blades 252 are only disposed on a side of thebaseplate 251 facing theeccentric block 23, the plurality offan blades 252 are separately disposed and arranged in a circle on thebaseplate 251. In order to smoothly introduce a large amount of air into thegrip body 21, theairflow generating member 25 of the invention is disposed in the space defined by the grindingdisc cover 26 based on the following conditions: a distance (as indicated by 30 inFIG. 8 ) defined between a top edge of each of the plurality offan blades 252 and thegrip body 21 is greater than 50% of a longitudinal length of each of the plurality offan blades 252, a distance (as indicated by 31 inFIG. 8 ) defined between an outer edge of each of the plurality offan blades 252 and thegrinding disc cover 26 is greater than 50% of a radial width of each of the plurality offan blades 252, and an outer radius of theairflow generating member 25 is greater than a distance from theair hole 214 to a center of themotor housing 212. Based on the aforementioned conditions, theairflow generating member 25 is not in close contact with thegrip body 21 and thegrinding disc cover 26, but is capable of generating an airflow temporary storage area 29 (as shown inFIG. 8 ), and the airflowtemporary storage area 29 is capable of keeping a wind guiding effect of theairflow generating member 25 smooth. - Please refer to
FIG. 5 ,FIG. 6 andFIG. 8 , the grindingdisc cover 26 is assembled with thegrip body 21, and theairflow generating member 25 is being covered in thegrinding disc cover 26. The grindingdisc cover 26 comprises acover body 261, anassembly port 262 formed at one end of thecover body 261, and arelease port 263 formed at an other end of thecover body 261. The grindingdisc cover 26 of the invention does not have a vent hole other than theassembly port 262 and therelease port 263. Theassembly port 262 is coaxially disposed with therelease port 263, that is, theassembly port 262 and therelease port 263 are disposed correspondingly to each other. Please refer toFIG. 9 , therelease port 263 is the only exhaust part of thegrinding disc cover 26. When therelease port 263 is viewed from a direction of theassembly port 262 toward therelease port 263, an inner wall of therelease port 263 sequentially includes aflow guiding section 264, anarcuate diversion section 265, and anair outlet section 266. Theflow guiding section 264 is connected with an inner wall surface of thecover body 261 close to therelease port 263 without discontinuity and without difference in level. Theflow guiding section 264 forms a flat surface together with the inner wall surface of thecover body 261 close to therelease port 263. Thearcuate diversion section 265 serves as a connection between theflow guiding section 264 and theair outlet section 266. Theair outlet section 266 and theflow guiding section 264 have different slopes. Further, an included angle between theair outlet section 266 and theflow guiding section 264 is greater than 90 degrees. Furthermore, theair outlet section 266 can be parallel to a surface 241 (as shown inFIG. 6 ) of the grindingdisc 24 facing the grindingdisc cover 26. - Please refer to
FIG. 9 ,FIG. 10 ,FIG. 11 andFIG. 12 . When theairflow generating member 25 rotates, aheat dissipation airflow 40 is formed in the electrictool grinding machine 20. Specifically, theheat dissipation airflow 40 enters thegrip body 21 through the plurality of air intake holes 213, travels through themotor housing 212, passes through theair hole 214, the airflowtemporary storage area 29 and theairflow generating member 25 in sequence, and is finally discharged from theair exhaust area 28. When theheat dissipation airflow 40 passes through therelease port 263, a wall surface of the release port 263 (i.e., theflow guiding section 264, thearcuate diversion section 265, and the air outlet section 266) will produce an attached effect (also known as the Coanda effect), theheat dissipation airflow 40 is affected by thearcuate diversion section 265 to change a flow direction, and is finally discharged from theair exhaust area 28 according to a shape of theair outlet section 266. Specifically, thearcuate diversion section 265 diverts anairflow direction 41 of theheat dissipation airflow 40 to be parallel to the grindingdisc 24 when discharging between thegrinding disc cover 26 and the grindingdisc 24. Accordingly, in the invention, through a guiding structure on therelease port 263, theheat dissipation airflow 40 is not discharged directly toward the grindingdisc 24, so as to prevent theheat dissipation airflow 40 from directly impacting the grindingdisc 24 and generating turbulence in theair exhaust area 28, which affects an overall efficiency of theheat dissipation airflow 40. That is to say, therelease port 263 of the invention guides theheat dissipation airflow 40 to discharge smoothly through the Coanda effect. - Based on the above, the invention is still capable of generating the
heat dissipation airflow 40 that meets heat dissipation requirements of theelectric motor 22 through cooperation of thegrinding disc cover 26 and theairflow generating member 25 when the electrictool grinding machine 20 is not installed with an active dust suction structure. The invention also improves the problem that heat accumulated in theelectric motor 22 cannot be easily discharged and increases the comfort of the user's palm during long holding and use. Please refer to Table 1 and Table 2. Table 1 is a comparison table of temperature rise between the invention and the conventional technique. Specifically, "the invention" refers to the electrictool grinding machine 20 of the invention, "convention without suction" refers to a conventional electric tool grinding machine not equipped with an active dust suction structure and equipped with a grinding disc cover with vent holes, and "convention with suction" refers to a conventional electric tool grinding machine equipped with an active dust suction structure. A temperature measurement point of Table 1 (indicated as 50 inFIG. 4 ) is the palm position when the user is grasping the electric tool grinding machine, and the electric tool grinding machine is provided with 80 grit abrasive paper (#80) and 6 inches overall diameter grinding disc and is at a load of 180watts (W). Basic conditions of Table 2 are the same as those of Table 1, the only difference is that the temperature measurement point of Table 2 is the user's finger grip position (indicated as 51 inFIG. 4 ).Table 1 Ambient temperature Machine running time 10 minutes 15 minutes 20 minutes 25 minutes 30 minutes The invention 22.3 28.8 30.9 31.7 31.8 31.7 Convention without suction 22.8 37.4 43.3 48.1 51.9 53.1 Convention with suction 21.8 31.9 31.4 32.3 31.0 32.0 Table 2 Ambient temperature Machine running time 10 minutes 15 minutes 20 minutes 25 minutes 30 minutes The invention 22.3 24.8 25.2 24.9 24.4 24.3 Convention without suction 22.8 45.1 51.8 54.7 62.3 61.1 Convention with suction 21.8 27.9 28.9 28.1 29.2 28.9 - As indicated in Table 1 and Table 2, it can be understood unambiguously that when the conventional technique without dust suction continues to operate for 15 minutes, the temperatures of the palm measurement point and the finger grip measurement point increase significantly. With the high temperatures at the palm measurement point and the finger grip measurement point located on a surface of the electric tool grinding machine, it can be speculated that a temperature caused by waste heat accumulation of electric motor inside electric tool grinding machine will be higher, which highlights that the heat dissipation airflow generated by the conventional technique is incapable of effectively dissipating accumulated heat of the electric motor, and the structure of the grinding disc cover significantly affects an efficiency of the heat dissipation airflow. Comparing the temperatures of the invention and the conventional technique with dust suction during the different operation times of the electric tool grinding machine, in addition to the temperatures of the palm measurement point of the invention without the active dust suction structure are on par with the temperatures of the conventional technique with dust suction, performance of the invention without the active dust suction structure produced at the finger grip measurement point (Table 2) is significantly better than that of the conventional technique with dust suction. Accordingly, structure of the
release port 263 of thegrinding disc cover 26 of the invention significantly affects efficiency of theheat dissipation airflow 40. Theheat dissipation airflow 40 practically meets heat dissipation requirements of theelectric motor 22. The invention improves the problem of heat accumulation of the electric motor that the conventional technique is incapable of solving. - Please refer to
FIG. 8 . In one embodiment, a horizontal level of therelease port 263 is equal to or lower than a horizontal level of thebaseplate 251 of theairflow generating member 25 in thegrinding disc cover 26 in order to effectively guide theheat dissipation airflow 40. - Please refer to
FIG. 5 ,FIG. 6 ,FIG. 7 , andFIG. 8 , a diameter of therelease port 263 is greater than a diameter of theassembly port 262. The grindingdisc cover 26 is trumpet-shaped. A flow velocity of theheat dissipation airflow 40 entering thegrinding disc cover 26 from theair hole 214 is slowed down in order to prevent a flow velocity of theheat dissipation airflow 40 from being too fast to generate turbulence in thegrinding disc cover 26. In one embodiment, a distance (as indicated by 32 in the figure) between therelease port 263 and each of the plurality offan blades 252 is greater than a radial length of each of the plurality offan blades 252. In addition, thecover body 261 includes aninclined surface 267 between theassembly port 262 and therelease port 263, theinclined surface 267 is connected with theflow guiding section 264 of therelease port 263, and a slope of theflow guiding section 264 is same as a slope of theinclined surface 267. Further, there is no level difference between theflow guiding section 264 and theinclined surface 267. Furthermore, a horizontal level of atop end 268 of theinclined surface 267 is same as or higher than a horizontal level of each of the plurality offan blades 252. Thetop end 268 of theinclined surface 267 faces a top end of each of the plurality offan blades 252, and therelease port 263 faces a bottom end of each of the plurality offan blades 252. Theheat dissipation airflow 40 exhausted from anair outlet end 253 of each of the plurality offan blades 252 is effectively guided. - Please refer to
FIG. 6 andFIG. 8 . In one embodiment, thecover body 261 includes anengaging ring 269 formed around theassembly port 262, and a continuous concave-convex structure 260 is formed on an inner side of theengaging ring 269. Thegrip body 21 includes a connecting concave-convex structure 215 assembled with the continuous concave-convex structure 260 at a position where theassembly port 262 is assembled.
