本実施形態に係るロータリー式電気かみそり1は、図1〜3に示すように、多数の髭進入口が形成された髭剃り面(後述の環状髭剃り面)を上面に有する外刃10Aと、外刃10Aの下面に当該髭剃り面の下方から摺接しつつ回転する小刃を持つ内刃12Aとを有し、髭進入口に進入した髭を外刃10Aと内刃12Aとでカットするロータリー式電気かみそりである。なお、外刃10Aと内刃12Aとの組合せを三組有するロータリー式電気かみそりを例に挙げて説明するが、これに限定されるものではない。   As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the rotary electric shaver 1 according to the present embodiment has an outer blade 10 </ b> A having a shaving surface (annular shaving surface described later) formed with a number of scissors entrances on the upper surface, A rotary that has an inner blade 12A having a small blade that rotates while being in sliding contact with the lower surface of the shaving surface on the lower surface of the outer blade 10A, and that cuts the wrinkle that has entered the advancing entrance with the outer blade 10A and the inner blade 12A. Electric shaver. In addition, although the rotary electric shaver which has three combinations of outer blade 10A and inner blade 12A is mentioned as an example and demonstrated, it is not limited to this.

図1において符号50は本体部であり、略円柱状のグリップ部52の上部を斜め前上方へ折曲したケース54を持つ。このケース54は前後割りであり、その内部には充電可能な電池、電気モータ、制御回路基板等(不図示)が収容されている。ケース54の前面には電源スイッチ56が取り付けられ、このスイッチ56の下方には電池の充電残量や動作状態等を示すLEDランプからなる表示部(不図示)が設けられている。   In FIG. 1, reference numeral 50 denotes a main body portion having a case 54 in which an upper portion of a substantially cylindrical grip portion 52 is bent obliquely forward and upward. The case 54 is divided into front and rear parts, and a rechargeable battery, an electric motor, a control circuit board and the like (not shown) are accommodated therein. A power switch 56 is attached to the front surface of the case 54, and below the switch 56, a display unit (not shown) including an LED lamp that indicates a remaining charge amount of the battery, an operation state, and the like is provided.

ケース54の上部にはヘッド部58が開閉可能且つ着脱可能に取り付けられている。なおヘッド部58は、その髭剃り面(後述する刃枠体60の上面)が斜め前上方を指向するようにケース54のグリップ部52に対して傾いている。前記電気モータはその回転出力軸がこのヘッド部58の内部に向かってケース54の上面から突出し、内刃12Aを回転駆動すると共に、内刃12Aを上方に弾性を持って押し上げて小刃22A、24Aの髭剃り面14A、16Aの下面に対する接触圧を適正に保持している。   A head portion 58 is detachably attached to the upper portion of the case 54. The head portion 58 is inclined with respect to the grip portion 52 of the case 54 so that the shaving surface (the upper surface of a blade frame 60 described later) is directed obliquely upward. The electric motor has a rotation output shaft protruding from the upper surface of the case 54 toward the inside of the head portion 58, and rotationally drives the inner blade 12A. The contact pressure with respect to the lower surface of 24A shaving surface 14A, 16A is hold | maintained appropriately.

ヘッド部58は、ケース54の上面に開閉可能に取り付けられる刃枠体60に、三組の刃組み立て体62を組み付けたものである。刃枠体60は平面視略三角形で周縁をなだらかに下方へ湾曲させた形状である。刃枠体60には3つの円形の取付口が形成され、ここにそれぞれ刃組み立て体62が傾斜可能且つ上方へ復帰習性を持って可動に保持される。   The head portion 58 is obtained by assembling three sets of blade assemblies 62 to a blade frame 60 that is attached to the upper surface of the case 54 so as to be opened and closed. The blade frame 60 has a substantially triangular shape in plan view and has a shape in which the periphery is gently curved downward. Three circular attachment openings are formed in the blade frame 60, and each of the blade assemblies 62 can be tilted and held movably with a return habit upward.

すなわち、刃組み立て体62は、略円盤状で周縁が下方に折曲された外刃10Aと、この外刃10Aの外周が嵌め込まれた外刃リム64と(図1参照)、外刃10Aに下方から摺接する内刃12A(図3参照)とを備える。内刃12Aは、この刃組み立て体62に回転可能であって且つ下方に脱落しないように保持され、前述のように電気モータにより回転駆動される。   That is, the blade assembly 62 includes a substantially disc-shaped outer blade 10A whose periphery is bent downward, an outer blade rim 64 in which the outer periphery of the outer blade 10A is fitted (see FIG. 1), and the outer blade 10A. An inner blade 12A (see FIG. 3) that slides from below is provided. The inner blade 12A can be rotated by the blade assembly 62 and is held so as not to drop downward, and is rotationally driven by the electric motor as described above.

ここで、外刃10Aは、複数且つ同心の環状髭剃り面が一体に形成されている。本実施形態においては、図2、3に示すように、外刃10Aの上面に、中心軸20Aと同心に二つ(二重)の環状髭剃り面16A、18Aと、これらの間に位置する環状凹溝14Aとが形成されている。ただし、この構成に限定されるものではなく三つ以上の環状髭剃り面および二つ以上の環状凹溝を有する構成としてもよい(不図示)。   Here, the outer blade 10A has a plurality of concentric annular shaving surfaces formed integrally. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, two (double) annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A are located concentrically with the central axis 20A on the upper surface of the outer blade 10A, and between them. An annular groove 14A is formed. However, it is not limited to this structure, It is good also as a structure which has three or more annular shaving surfaces and two or more annular concave grooves (not shown).

一例として、環状髭剃り面16A、18Aは、内側の環状髭剃り面18Aが外側の環状髭剃り面16Aよりも高く、すなわち中心軸20Aに沿って高さが高く、また、これらの環状髭剃り面16A、18Aは中心軸20Aに対して水平な平面上に位置する構成としている(図3参照)。ただし、この構成に限定されるものではなく、環状髭剃り面16Aと18Aとを同じ高さに形成してもよい。   As an example, the annular shaving surfaces 16A, 18A are such that the inner annular shaving surface 18A is higher than the outer annular shaving surface 16A, ie, higher in height along the central axis 20A, and these annular shaving surfaces The surfaces 16A and 18A are configured to be positioned on a plane horizontal to the central axis 20A (see FIG. 3). However, it is not limited to this configuration, and the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A may be formed at the same height.

また、環状髭剃り面16A、18Aには、多数の髭進入口が形成されており、その上面が外刃リム64より突出する構成となっている。本実施形態においては、当該髭進入口として、丸孔状の髭進入口30(30a、30b)およびスリット状の髭進入口32を備えている。ここで、丸孔状の髭進入口(丸孔)30は、真円形には限定されず、楕円形等の他の円形も含まれる。一方、スリット状の髭進入口(スリット)32は、長方形には限定されず、台形等の他の矩形も含まれる。   The annular shaving surfaces 16 </ b> A and 18 </ b> A are formed with a large number of striking inlets, and the upper surface protrudes from the outer blade rim 64. In the present embodiment, a round hole-like advance entrance 30 (30a, 30b) and a slit-like advance entrance 32 are provided as the advance entrance. Here, the round hole-like striking inlet (round hole) 30 is not limited to a true circle, and includes other circles such as an ellipse. On the other hand, the slit-shaped advance entrance (slit) 32 is not limited to a rectangle, and includes other rectangles such as a trapezoid.

より具体的には、最外周の環状髭剃り面16Aには、スリット状の髭進入口32のみが設けられている。これによれば、通常、最外周の環状髭剃り面16Aが、最も髭を捉えてカットする作用を担うため、髭を捉える効果の高いスリット状の髭進入口32のみを配設することで、髭を捉えてカットする効果を高めることが可能となる。   More specifically, only the slit-shaped scooping entrance 32 is provided on the outermost annular shaving surface 16A. According to this, since the annular shaving surface 16A on the outermost circumference is responsible for the action of capturing and cutting the most wrinkles, by disposing only the slit-shaped scooping entrance 32 having a high effect of capturing wrinkles, It becomes possible to enhance the effect of catching and cutting the wrinkles.

最外周以外の環状髭剃り面(すなわち本実施形態における内周側の環状髭剃り面18A)には、丸孔状の髭進入口30とスリット状の髭進入口32とが併設されている。本実施形態においては、内周側の環状髭剃り面18Aの周方向に沿って所定数の丸孔状の髭進入口30(30a、30b)からなる丸孔形成領域31と所定数のスリット状の髭進入口32からなるスリット形成領域33とが交互に配設される構成としている。一例として、図2に示すように、内周側の環状髭剃り面18Aにおいて、三つの丸孔形成領域31と三つのスリット形成領域33とが交互に配設される構成としている。ただし、この構成に限定されるものではなく、三つ以上、例えば、図11の変形例に示すように、五つの丸孔形成領域31と五つのスリット形成領域33とが交互に配設される構成等としてもよい。さらに、丸孔形成領域31とスリット形成領域33とは同数である場合に限定されるものではない。   An annular shaving surface other than the outermost periphery (that is, the annular shaving surface 18A on the inner peripheral side in the present embodiment) is provided with a round hole-shaped scoring inlet 30 and a slit-shaped scoring inlet 32. In the present embodiment, a round hole forming region 31 including a predetermined number of round hole-shaped striking inlets 30 (30a, 30b) and a predetermined number of slit shapes along the circumferential direction of the annular shaving surface 18A on the inner peripheral side. The slit forming regions 33 made up of the sliding entrances 32 are alternately arranged. As an example, as shown in FIG. 2, three circular hole forming regions 31 and three slit forming regions 33 are alternately arranged on the inner circumferential side shaving surface 18 </ b> A. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and three or more, for example, five round hole forming regions 31 and five slit forming regions 33 are alternately arranged as shown in the modified example of FIG. It is good also as a structure. Further, the number of the round hole forming regions 31 and the slit forming regions 33 is not limited to the same number.

スリット状の髭進入口32は髭を捉えてカットする効果が高い反面、肌触りが悪くなるという課題があった。しかし、本実施形態のように、最外周の環状髭剃り面16Aにスリット状の髭進入口32のみを設け、最外周以外の環状髭剃り面18Aに丸孔状の髭進入口30(30a、30b)とスリット状の髭進入口32とを併設する構成によれば、髭を捉える性能を落とさずに、ベタ部34の面積を増加させることができ、肌触りの良い外刃を実現することができる。さらに、従来にはない丸孔形成領域31とスリット形成領域33とを交互配置する構成によって、ユーザに対して斬新なデザインの提供による購買意欲の向上を図ることができる。   While the slit-shaped scooping entrance 32 has a high effect of catching and cutting the scissors, there is a problem that the touch becomes worse. However, as in the present embodiment, only the slit-like scooping entrance 32 is provided on the outermost peripheral shaving surface 16A, and the round-hole scooping entrance 30 (30a, 30a, 30b) and the slit-shaped scooping entrance 32 are provided side by side, the area of the solid portion 34 can be increased without degrading the ability to catch the scissors, and a comfortable outer blade can be realized. it can. Furthermore, the configuration in which the round hole forming regions 31 and the slit forming regions 33 that are not present in the prior art are alternately arranged can improve the willingness to purchase by providing a novel design to the user.

ここで、丸孔状の髭進入口30は、環状髭剃り面18Aの周方向に沿って内周側の丸孔30aと外周側の丸孔30bとが交互に配置される千鳥状となるように形成される。本実施形態においては、図2に示すように、一つの丸孔形成領域31において、環状髭剃り面18Aの周方向に沿って、丸孔状の髭進入口(外周側の丸孔)30b、丸孔状の髭進入口(内周側の丸孔)30a、丸孔状の髭進入口(外周側の丸孔)30b、丸孔状の髭進入口(内周側の丸孔)30a、・・・、丸孔状の髭進入口(外周側の丸孔)30bというように内周側の丸孔30aと外周側の丸孔30bとが交互に配置されて千鳥状となるように形成されている。   Here, the round hole-shaped striking entrance 30 has a zigzag shape in which the inner circumferential side round holes 30a and the outer circumferential side round holes 30b are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction of the annular shaving surface 18A. Formed. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, in one round hole forming region 31, along the circumferential direction of the annular shaving surface 18A, a round hole-like progressive entrance (round hole on the outer peripheral side) 30b, Round hole-like advance entrance (inner circumferential side round hole) 30a, round hole-like advance entrance (round hole on the outer circumference side) 30b, round hole-like advance entrance (round hole on the inner circumference side) 30a, ... Formed so as to form a staggered pattern in which the inner peripheral round holes 30a and the outer peripheral round holes 30b are alternately arranged, such as a round hole-like striking inlet (outer peripheral round hole) 30b. Has been.

これによれば、今まで困難であった剪断プレス加工による丸孔状の髭進入口30(30a、30b)の形成が可能となる。すなわち、仮に、同一半径上に丸孔状の髭進入口を並設させる場合には、髭を捉える性能を向上させるために隣接する丸孔状の髭進入口同士の間隔を所定距離(例えば、離間距離0.2[mm]程度)まで近づけることが求められるが、当該間隔に設定してしまうと剪断プレス加工のためのパンチのピン同士が近づき過ぎ、またピン径が細くなり過ぎるため、剪断プレス加工は困難となる。これに対して、本実施形態のように、内周側の丸孔30aと外周側の丸孔30bとが交互に配置されて千鳥状となるように形成される構成によって、内周側もしくは外周側の一方に配置される複数の丸孔(すなわち、一つの丸孔形成領域31における内周側の丸孔30aのみ、もしくは外周側の丸孔30bのみのいずれか一方)を一回のプレスにより剪断プレス加工を行い、その後、内周側もしくは外周側の他方に配置される丸孔(すなわち、一つの丸孔形成領域31における内周側の丸孔30aのみ、もしくは外周側の丸孔30bのみのいずれか他方)を一回のプレスにより剪断プレス加工を行う加工方法を採用することができる。これによれば、千鳥状に隣接する丸孔状の髭進入口(内周側の丸孔)30aと丸孔状の髭進入口(外周側の丸孔)30bとを所定距離(例えば、離間距離0.2[mm]程度)まで近づけることができ、且つ、同一半径上に並ぶ丸孔状の髭進入口同士の間隔(一の丸孔30aと隣の丸孔30aとの間隔、および、一の丸孔30bと隣の丸孔30bとの間隔)を剪断プレス加工が可能な距離(例えば、離間距離0.3〜0.4[mm]程度)まで離隔させることができる。すなわち、丸孔状の髭進入口30(30a、30b)を形成するためのパンチに関して、内周側の丸孔加工用および外周側の丸孔加工用の2種類のパンチを用意し、各パンチにおいて同一半径上において隣接するピン同士の距離を所定距離以上に離隔させることができ、ピン径を所定太さとして強度を確保することができるため、当該丸孔状の髭進入口30(30a、30b)を剪断プレス加工によって形成することが可能となる。   According to this, it becomes possible to form the round hole-like striking entrance 30 (30a, 30b) by shear pressing which has been difficult until now. In other words, if the round hole-like striking inlets are arranged side by side on the same radius, the interval between adjacent round-hole-like striking inlets is set to a predetermined distance (for example, However, if the distance is set, the punch pins for the shear press process are too close to each other, and the pin diameter becomes too thin. Press working becomes difficult. On the other hand, as in the present embodiment, the inner circumferential side or the outer circumferential side is configured so that the inner circumferential side round holes 30a and the outer circumferential side round holes 30b are alternately arranged to form a staggered shape. A plurality of round holes arranged on one side (that is, only one of the inner peripheral side round hole 30a or the outer peripheral side round hole 30b in one round hole forming region 31) by one press. After carrying out the shear pressing process, a round hole arranged on the other side of the inner circumference side or the outer circumference side (that is, only the inner circumference side round hole 30a or the outer circumference side round hole 30b in one round hole formation region 31) Any one of the above may be employed in which a shearing press process is performed by a single press. According to this, a round hole-like striking inlet (inner peripheral side round hole) 30a and a round hole-like striking inlet (outer peripheral side round hole) 30b adjacent to each other in a staggered manner are separated by a predetermined distance (for example, separated from each other). The distance between the round hole-like striking inlets arranged on the same radius (the distance between one round hole 30a and the next round hole 30a, and The distance between one round hole 30b and the adjacent round hole 30b) can be separated to a distance that allows shear pressing (for example, a separation distance of about 0.3 to 0.4 [mm]). That is, regarding punches for forming the round hole-like striking entrances 30 (30a, 30b), two types of punches for inner peripheral side round hole processing and outer peripheral side round hole processing are prepared. The distance between adjacent pins on the same radius can be separated by a predetermined distance or more, and the pin diameter can be set to a predetermined thickness to ensure the strength. 30b) can be formed by shear pressing.

一方、内刃12Aは、図3に示すように、髭剃り面16A、18Aの下面(内刃摺動面)16B、18Bに摺接する小刃22A、24Aを共通の金属板12Bに一体に形成したものである。これらの小刃22A、24Aは、上端縁がそれぞれ内刃摺動面となる下面16B、18Bに摺接して、丸孔状の髭進入口30(30a、30b)とスリット状の髭進入口32とに入った髭をカットするものであるから、この上端縁の高さを内刃摺動面16B、18Bの高さに一致させると共に研磨して切れ味を向上させておくことが必要である。   On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner blade 12A is integrally formed with a common metal plate 12B with small blades 22A and 24A that are in sliding contact with the lower surfaces (inner blade sliding surfaces) 16B and 18B of the shaving surfaces 16A and 18A. It is a thing. The small blades 22A and 24A are in sliding contact with the lower surfaces 16B and 18B whose upper edges are the inner blade sliding surfaces, respectively, so that the round hole-like striking inlet 30 (30a, 30b) and the slit-like striking inlet 32 are provided. Therefore, it is necessary to make the height of the upper edge coincide with the height of the inner blade sliding surfaces 16B and 18B and to improve the sharpness by polishing.

続いて、本実施形態に係るロータリー式電気かみそり1の外刃の製造方法について説明する。   Then, the manufacturing method of the outer blade of the rotary electric shaver 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated.

先ず、図4に示すように、ステンレス製平板薄板材(一例として、厚さ0.6[mm])を準備して、剪断プレス加工により表面側にパンチを当てて所定外径の円板状部材10Aaの打ち抜きを行う。同時に、中央開口部8を打ち抜きによって形成する。   First, as shown in FIG. 4, a stainless steel flat sheet material (thickness 0.6 [mm] as an example) is prepared, and a punch is applied to the surface side by shear pressing to form a disk having a predetermined outer diameter. The member 10Aa is punched. At the same time, the central opening 8 is formed by punching.

次いで、図5に示すように、打ち抜きを行った上記円板状部材10Aaに対して絞りプレス加工を施し、環状に配列した環状髭剃り面16A、18Aの領域を押し出すと共に、環状凹溝14Aを形成して立体形状部材10Abにする。当該環状髭剃り面16A、18Aが、いわゆる切刃部となる。なお、環状髭剃り面16Aおよび18Aは、それぞれの上面高さが同一となる場合もしくは異なる場合のいずれも採用し得る。   Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the punched disk-shaped member 10Aa is subjected to a drawing press process to extrude the regions of the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A arranged in an annular shape, and the annular grooves 14A are formed. The three-dimensionally shaped member 10Ab is formed. The annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A serve as so-called cutting edge portions. Note that the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A can be employed either when the upper surface height is the same or different.

ここで、この絞りプレス加工と同時にもしくはその後、打ち抜きによって外刃(ここでは、立体形状部材10Ab)の所定位置の外周縁に切り欠き部(以下、「Dカット部」という)9を形成する。なお、このDカット部9は、後述する位置マークとして用いられる。   Here, at the same time as or after this drawing press work, a notch (hereinafter referred to as “D cut part”) 9 is formed on the outer peripheral edge at a predetermined position of the outer blade (three-dimensionally shaped member 10Ab) by punching. The D cut portion 9 is used as a position mark to be described later.

次いで、立体形状部材10Abの環状髭剃り面16A、18Aに対して薄肉化の加工を行う。より詳しくは、この時点で、環状髭剃り面16A、18Aとなる部分は材料の金属板の厚さのまま(一例として、厚さ0.6[mm])であるから、当該環状髭剃り面16A、18Aとなる部分に対して研削もしくは研磨加工を行うことによって、所定厚さとなるまで環状髭剃り面16A、18Aの薄肉化加工を行う。本実施形態においては、後工程で環状髭剃り面16A、18Aに形成される丸孔状の髭進入口(後述)の内径寸法(一例として、内径0.3〜0.6[mm])よりも小さい値の厚さ寸法(一例として、厚さ0.2[mm])となるように、当該環状髭剃り面16A、18Aの研削もしくは研磨加工を行う。この工程を備えることによって、後工程において、髭を捉えるために好適な内径(一例として、内径0.3〜0.6[mm])を有する丸孔状の髭進入口を環状髭剃り面16A、18Aに剪断プレス加工によって形成することが可能となる。ただし、この薄肉化の加工を踏まえて、後述の剪断プレス加工方法を採用することが重要となる。   Next, thinning processing is performed on the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A of the three-dimensionally shaped member 10Ab. More specifically, at this point, the portions that become the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A remain the thickness of the metal plate of the material (for example, a thickness of 0.6 [mm]). By grinding or polishing the portions to be 16A and 18A, the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A are thinned until a predetermined thickness is obtained. In the present embodiment, from an inner diameter dimension (as an example, an inner diameter of 0.3 to 0.6 [mm]) of a round hole-shaped striking inlet (described later) formed on the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A in a subsequent process. The annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A are ground or polished so that the thickness dimension is smaller (as an example, the thickness is 0.2 [mm]). By providing this step, a round hole-like striking inlet having an inner diameter suitable for catching wrinkles (for example, an inner diameter of 0.3 to 0.6 [mm]) in the subsequent step is formed into an annular shaving surface 16A. , 18A can be formed by shear pressing. However, based on this thinning process, it is important to adopt a shear press working method described later.

ここで、上記薄肉化の加工は図6に示すように、上面を環状髭剃り面16Aと18Aの高さに対応したバイト等の研削具や砥石等の研磨具(両者を含めてここでは研削/研磨具ともいう)72を、中心軸20Aを中心にして回転させることにより行うことができる。   Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the thinning process is performed by using a grinding tool such as a bite corresponding to the height of the annular shaving surfaces 16 </ b> A and 18 </ b> A or a grinding tool such as a grindstone (including both of them) (Also called a polishing tool) 72 can be performed by rotating it around the central axis 20A.

同様に、環状髭剃り面16A、18Aの下面は、これらの高さに対応した研削/研磨具74を用い、これを中心軸20Aを中心に回転させることにより加工することができる。図6において破線で示す16A、18Aは髭剃り面の上面(肌に接触する面)を、16B、18Bは髭剃り面の下面(内刃12Aの小刃22A、24Aが摺動する面、内刃摺動面)を示している。なお研削/研磨具72、74を回転させるのに代えてまたはこれらの回転と共に、外刃10Aを回転させてもよいことは当然である。   Similarly, the lower surfaces of the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A can be processed by using a grinding / polishing tool 74 corresponding to these heights and rotating it around the central axis 20A. 16A and 18A indicated by broken lines in FIG. 6 are the upper surfaces (surfaces in contact with the skin) of the shaving surface, 16B and 18B are the lower surfaces of the shaving surfaces (surfaces on which the small blades 22A and 24A of the inner blade 12A slide, The blade sliding surface is shown. Of course, the outer cutter 10A may be rotated instead of or together with the rotation of the grinding / polishing tools 72, 74.

次いで、図7に示すように、環状髭剃り面16A、18Aにおける薄肉化加工(研削もしくは研磨加工)を行った位置に、剪断プレス加工によって丸孔状の髭進入口30を形成する工程を実施する。より詳しくは、立体形状部材10Abの環状髭剃り面16A、18Aに対して、裏面側(下面側となる面)をダイで支持し表面側(上面側となる面)にパンチを当てて、表面側から裏面側に向けて剪断プレス加工により孔開けを行って、複数の丸孔状の髭進入口(丸孔)30(30a、30b)を形成する。このとき、Dカット部9を、立体形状部材10Abの加工を行うための加工基準位置となる位置マークとして用いて、当該剪断プレス加工を行う。これにより、Dカット部9を基準として環状髭剃り面16A、18Aの所定位置に丸孔状の髭進入口(丸孔)30(30a、30b)を形成することができる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 7, a step of forming a round hole-like striking inlet 30 by shear press processing at the position where the thinning processing (grinding or polishing processing) is performed on the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A is performed. To do. More specifically, with respect to the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A of the three-dimensionally shaped member 10Ab, the back side (the surface that becomes the lower surface side) is supported by a die, and the front surface side (the surface that becomes the upper surface side) is punched. A plurality of round hole shaped entrances (round holes) 30 (30a, 30b) are formed by performing a shearing press from the side toward the back side. At this time, the shear cutting process is performed using the D-cut portion 9 as a position mark serving as a processing reference position for processing the three-dimensionally shaped member 10Ab. As a result, it is possible to form the round hole-like striking entrances (round holes) 30 (30a, 30b) at predetermined positions on the annular shaving surfaces 16A, 18A with the D-cut portion 9 as a reference.

上記工程によれば、髭を捉えるために好適な寸法(一例として、内径0.3〜0.6[mm])を有する丸孔状の髭進入口(丸孔)30(30a、30b)を剪断プレス加工によって形成することが可能となる。したがって、従来のような放電加工方法、電解加工方法、レーザ加工方法、エッチング加工方法による孔開け方法と比較して、製造方法が容易なものとなり、製造時間を短縮でき、製造コストを低減することが可能となる。さらに、表面側(上面側)から裏面側(下面側)に向けて剪断プレス加工を行うことで、内刃12Aと摺接する外刃10Aの下面(より詳しくは丸孔30の下端部)を鋭利に形成することができるため、髭の切れ味を鋭くすることができる。
なお、裏面側(下面側)から表面側(上面側)に向けて剪断プレス加工を行う方法を採用してもよい。これによれば、剪断プレス加工によるバリを、バリ取りの困難な裏面側(下面側)ではなく、表面側(上面側)に発生させることができる。これによれば、容易な表面処理によってバリ取りを行うことができる。また、内刃12Aと摺接する外刃10Aの下面(より詳しくは丸孔30の下端部)をバリの無い形状に形成することができるため、髭の切れ味を鋭くすることができる。
According to the above-described process, the round hole-like striking inlet (round hole) 30 (30a, 30b) having a suitable dimension (as an example, an inner diameter of 0.3 to 0.6 [mm]) for catching wrinkles is provided. It can be formed by shear pressing. Therefore, the manufacturing method becomes easier, the manufacturing time can be shortened, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with the conventional drilling method by electric discharge machining method, electrolytic machining method, laser machining method, etching method. Is possible. Further, by performing shear pressing from the front surface side (upper surface side) to the back surface side (lower surface side), the lower surface (more specifically, the lower end portion of the round hole 30) of the outer blade 10A that is in sliding contact with the inner blade 12A is sharpened. Therefore, the sharpness of the ridge can be sharpened.
In addition, you may employ | adopt the method of performing a shear press process toward the surface side (upper surface side) from the back surface side (lower surface side). According to this, the burr | flash by a shear press process can be generated on the surface side (upper surface side) instead of the back surface side (lower surface side) where deburring is difficult. According to this, deburring can be performed by an easy surface treatment. In addition, since the lower surface of the outer blade 10A that is in sliding contact with the inner blade 12A (more specifically, the lower end portion of the round hole 30) can be formed in a shape without burrs, the sharpness of the ridge can be sharpened.

ここで、本実施形態においては、丸孔状の髭進入口30を、環状髭剃り面18Aの周方向に沿って内周側の丸孔30aと外周側の丸孔30bとが交互に配置される千鳥状となるように形成する。図7におけるC部拡大図である図8を用いて具体的に説明すると、このときの加工は、内周側もしくは外周側の一方に配置される複数の丸孔(一例として、図8(a)に示すように、一つの丸孔形成領域31における内周側の丸孔30aのみ)を一回のプレスにより剪断プレス加工を行い、その後、内周側もしくは外周側の他方に配置される丸孔(一例として、図8(b)に示すように、一つの丸孔形成領域31における外周側の丸孔30bのみ)を一回のプレスにより剪断プレス加工を行う。これによれば、前述の通り、内周側の丸孔加工用および外周側の丸孔加工用の二種類のパンチを用意し、各パンチにおいて同一半径上において隣接するピン同士の距離を所定距離以上に離隔させることができ、ピン径を所定太さとして強度を確保することができるため、当該丸孔状の髭進入口30(30a、30b)を剪断プレス加工によって形成することが可能となる。   Here, in the present embodiment, the round hole-like advancement entrance 30 is alternately arranged with the inner circumference side round holes 30a and the outer circumference side round holes 30b along the circumferential direction of the annular shaving surface 18A. It is formed in a zigzag pattern. If it demonstrates concretely using FIG. 8 which is the C section enlarged view in FIG. 7, the process at this time will be a plurality of round holes arranged on one of the inner peripheral side or the outer peripheral side (for example, FIG. ), Only one round hole 30a on the inner peripheral side in one round hole forming region 31) is subjected to shear press processing by a single press, and then the round arranged on the other side on the inner peripheral side or the outer peripheral side. A hole (for example, as shown in FIG. 8B, only the outer peripheral side round hole 30b in one round hole forming region 31) is subjected to shear pressing by one press. According to this, as described above, two types of punches for inner and outer peripheral round holes are prepared, and the distance between adjacent pins on the same radius in each punch is determined by a predetermined distance. Since it can be separated as described above, and the strength can be ensured by setting the pin diameter to a predetermined thickness, it is possible to form the round hole-like striking inlet 30 (30a, 30b) by shear press working. .

なお、この後、立体形状部材10Abに対し焼入れ処理を施すことが好適である。   In addition, after that, it is preferable to quench the solid shape member 10Ab.

次いで、図9に示すように、環状髭剃り面の所定位置に、研削加工によってスリット状の髭進入口32を形成する工程を実施する。このとき、Dカット部9を立体形状部材10Abの加工を行うための加工基準位置となる位置マークとして用いて、当該研削加工を行う。これにより、Dカット部9を基準として環状髭剃り面16A、18Aの所定位置にスリット状の髭進入口(スリット)32を形成することができる。すなわち、Dカット部9を、前述の剪断プレス加工と当該研削加工とにおける共通の加工基準位置として用いることによって、それぞれ別工程で形成される丸孔状の髭進入口(丸孔)30およびスリット状の髭進入口(スリット)32を、位置ずれを生じさせずに所定位置に形成することが可能となる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 9, a step of forming a slit-like striking inlet 32 by a grinding process at a predetermined position on the annular shaving surface is performed. At this time, the grinding process is performed using the D-cut portion 9 as a position mark serving as a processing reference position for processing the three-dimensionally shaped member 10Ab. As a result, a slit-like advance entrance (slit) 32 can be formed at a predetermined position on the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A with the D-cut portion 9 as a reference. That is, by using the D-cut portion 9 as a common processing reference position in the above-described shear press processing and the grinding processing, a round hole-like advance entrance (round hole) 30 and a slit formed in separate processes, respectively. It is possible to form the straight entrance 32 (slit) 32 in a predetermined position without causing a positional shift.

ここで、上記スリット状の髭進入口32の研削加工は、図10に示すように回転円盤砥石66を用いて行われる。すなわち外刃10Aとなる立体形状部材10Abに対して、上方から回転円盤砥石66をその外周を縦向きにして回転させつつ、ほぼ径方向に移動させて、環状凹溝14Aを残して環状髭剃り面16A、18Aとなる部分に切り込みを入れるものである。なお、回転円盤砥石66は、ダイヤモンド砥粒等の耐摩耗性粒子を砥粒に分散し硬化させた薄い円形ディスク状の工具である。   Here, the grinding process of the slit-like advancement entrance 32 is performed using a rotating disk grindstone 66 as shown in FIG. That is, with respect to the three-dimensional member 10Ab serving as the outer blade 10A, the rotating disk grindstone 66 is rotated from the upper side while rotating the outer periphery thereof in the vertical direction while moving substantially in the radial direction, and the annular shaving 14A is left leaving the annular shaving 14A. Cuts are made in the portions that become the surfaces 16A and 18A. The rotating disk grindstone 66 is a thin circular disk-shaped tool in which wear-resistant particles such as diamond abrasive grains are dispersed and cured in the abrasive grains.

より具体的には、まず両方の環状髭剃り面16A、18Aを同時に加工するように、回転円盤砥石66によって、図10の第1加工線68に沿った深さの加工をする。すなわち、回転円盤砥石66の外周(切削加工縁)が第1加工線68に沿って移動するように回転円盤砥石66の回転中心Aをほぼ径方向(図10の移動線68a方向)に移動させる。また外側の環状髭剃り面16Aのスリット32だけを選択的に深く加工するためには、回転円盤砥石66の外周が図10に示す第2加工線70に沿って移動するように回転中心AをBの位置に移動して、この中心Bを第2加工線70に平行な移動線70aに沿ってほぼ径方向に移動させる。   More specifically, first, the rotary disk grindstone 66 is processed to a depth along the first processing line 68 in FIG. 10 so that both the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A are processed simultaneously. That is, the rotation center A of the rotating disk grindstone 66 is moved in the substantially radial direction (the moving line 68a direction in FIG. 10) so that the outer periphery (cutting edge) of the rotating disk grindstone 66 moves along the first processing line 68. . Further, in order to selectively deeply process only the slit 32 of the outer annular shaving surface 16A, the rotation center A is set so that the outer periphery of the rotating disc grindstone 66 moves along the second processing line 70 shown in FIG. The center B is moved in the radial direction along a movement line 70 a parallel to the second processing line 70.

次いで、立体形状部材10Abの環状髭剃り面16A、18Aに対して仕上げの薄肉化加工を行う。本実施形態においては、前工程において環状髭剃り面16A、18Aが丸孔状の髭進入口(後述)の内径寸法(一例として、内径0.3〜0.6[mm])よりも小さい値の厚さ寸法(一例として、厚さ0.2[mm])となるまで薄肉化加工がされおり、本工程においてさらに研削もしくは研磨加工を行って、当該環状髭剃り面16A、18Aを所定の厚さ寸法(一例として、厚さ0.08[mm])となるまで加工を行う。これによって、立体形状部材10Abが外刃10Aとして形成される。当該外刃10Aは、深剃りが可能で切れ味が鋭い刃となる。   Next, finishing thinning is performed on the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A of the three-dimensionally shaped member 10Ab. In the present embodiment, in the previous step, the annular shaving surfaces 16A and 18A are smaller than the inner diameter dimension (as an example, the inner diameter 0.3 to 0.6 [mm]) of the round hole-shaped advance entrance (described later). Is reduced to a thickness dimension (for example, a thickness of 0.2 [mm]). In this step, grinding or polishing is further performed to form the annular shaved surfaces 16A and 18A to a predetermined size. Processing is performed until the thickness dimension is reached (as an example, a thickness of 0.08 [mm]). Thereby, the three-dimensionally shaped member 10Ab is formed as the outer blade 10A. The outer blade 10A can be deeply shaved and has a sharp edge.

以上、説明した通り、本発明に係るロータリー式電気かみそりの外刃の製造方法によれば、剪断プレス加工によって外刃10Aの環状髭剃り面18Aに丸孔状の髭進入口30を容易に且つ低コストで形成することが可能となる。また、環状髭剃り面18Aに丸孔状の髭進入口30を形成することによってベタ部34を増加させることができるため、肌触りの良い外刃10Aを形成することが可能となる。   As described above, according to the method for manufacturing the outer blade of the rotary electric shaver according to the present invention, the round hole-like advancement entrance 30 can be easily formed on the annular shaving surface 18A of the outer blade 10A by shear pressing. It can be formed at low cost. In addition, since the solid portion 34 can be increased by forming the round hole-like striking entrance 30 on the annular shaving surface 18A, it is possible to form the outer cutter 10A having a good touch.

なお、本発明は、以上説明した実施例に限定されることなく、本発明を逸脱しない範囲において種々変更が可能である。特に、外刃と内刃との組合せを三組有するロータリー式電気かみそりを例に挙げて説明を行ったが、これに限定されるものではなく、外刃と内刃との組合せが一組もしくは二組、または四組以上のロータリー式電気かみそりに対しても適用可能であることは言うまでもない。   The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the present invention. In particular, a rotary electric shaver having three combinations of outer blades and inner blades has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the combination of outer blades and inner blades may be one set or Needless to say, the present invention can be applied to two or four or more rotary electric shavers.
