Description

  The present invention relates to a polishing system for polishing a painted surface of an automobile or the like, an intermediate pad for polishing, and a polishing buff.

  A polishing buff for polishing a painted surface of an automobile or the like by being attached to a circular pedestal of a polishing apparatus and driven to rotate is disclosed in the following patent document.

Patent Document 1 discloses a buffing machine in which a backup board is provided at a portion facing the front surface of a rotating disk of a polishing apparatus, a sponge board is laminated and integrated on the front surface of the backup board, and the front peripheral edge of the backup board is formed at an obtuse angle. Is disclosed.
Patent Document 2 discloses a polishing buff having a polishing member, an elastic cushion member, and a plate member.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-228707 is configured to allow a small-diameter pad mounted on a drive shaft of a polishing machine to have a polishing material mounting surface formed in a flat shape and a large-diameter polishing member to be coupled to the pad via a surface fastener. A polishing tool is disclosed.

However, in the polishing buffs disclosed in these patent documents, when the polishing buff is pressed against the painted surface for polishing, the temperature of the painted surface rises. The coated surface cannot be suitably polished. In order to prevent the painted surface from becoming hot during the polishing operation, the polishing operation must be interrupted during the polishing operation, and the polishing buff must be removed from the painted surface frequently and replenished with moisture. I must.
In particular, in Patent Document 5, a large number of small-diameter through-holes vertically penetrating through a buff member and an engaging member as a polishing buff are formed, and thereby water is prevented from being scattered and the temperature is increased due to frictional heat during polishing. Can be suppressed. However, Patent Document 5 merely puts moisture into the through hole. If the polishing buff is pressed against the coating surface or rotated, the moisture will immediately escape from the through hole. As a result, the moisture in the through hole immediately disappears immediately after the start of polishing, and the painted surface becomes hot due to frictional heat during the polishing operation. Therefore, even in Patent Document 5, in order to prevent the painted surface from actually becoming hot during the polishing operation, it is frequently repeated during the polishing operation from the painted surface in the same manner as in other patent documents. The polishing buff must be removed and the polishing buff must be rehydrated. Polishing work takes time and polishing workability is significantly reduced.

  As described above, in a polishing operation using a polishing buff, it is desired that a painted surface coated with a scratch shield, which has been recently adopted for automobiles or the like, can be suitably polished.

  A polishing system according to the present invention is formed to have a diameter equal to or smaller than a circular pedestal of a polishing apparatus, and is a polishing buff that polishes the painted surface by being rotationally driven together with the circular pedestal while being pressed against the painted surface; An intermediate pad attached to a pedestal, the intermediate pad having a recess to which the polishing buff is attached, and an outer peripheral part surrounding an outer periphery of the polishing buff attached to the concave part, and the outer peripheral part Hits the painted surface around the polishing buff when the polishing buff is pressed against the painted surface.

  Preferably, the intermediate pad is made of an elastic material in which at least the outer peripheral portion can be compressed, and the outer peripheral portion protrudes from the polishing buff in an uncompressed state, and when the polishing buff is pressed against the painting surface. It is good to compress and to press-contact with the said coating surface around the said polishing buff.

  Preferably, the polishing buff is formed with a smaller diameter than the circular pedestal, and at least a part of the outer peripheral portion of the intermediate pad overlaps the circular pedestal, and is pressed against the painted surface together with the polishing buff by the circular pedestal. It is good to be done.

  Preferably, the intermediate pad is formed to have a larger diameter than the circular pedestal.

  The polishing intermediate pad according to the present invention is a polishing intermediate pad for attaching a polishing buff to a circular pedestal of a polishing apparatus, a recess to which the polishing buff is attached, and an outer periphery of the polishing buff attached to the recess. And the outer peripheral portion hits the coating surface around the polishing buff when the polishing buff is pressed against the coating surface.

  The polishing buff according to the present invention is a polishing buff that polishes the coating surface by being rotationally driven together with a circular pedestal of the polishing apparatus in a state of being pressed against the coating surface, and a recess to which the polishing buff is attached and the recess Is attached to the concave portion of the intermediate pad attached to the circular pedestal and has an outer peripheral portion surrounding the outer peripheral portion, and is pressed against the coating surface together with the outer peripheral portion.

According to the present invention, the polishing buff is attached to the recess of the intermediate pad, and the outer peripheral portion of the intermediate pad hits the coating surface around the polishing buff when the polishing buff is pressed against the coating surface. Therefore, it is possible to form a sealed space for accommodating the polishing buff by the intermediate pad and the painted surface, and it is possible to store and hold the abrasive and water in this sealed space. Therefore, it is possible to continuously supply water together with the abrasive to the coated surface to be polished by the polishing buff to cool the coated surface with water, and it is difficult to raise the temperature of the coated surface to be polished.
In addition, the polishing buff is not directly attached to the circular pedestal of the polishing apparatus, but is attached to the circular pedestal with an intermediate pad interposed between them. Therefore, it is possible to make the polishing unevenness less likely to occur because it can be pressed against the painted surface.
On the other hand, if the polishing buff is formed with a larger diameter than the circular pedestal, for example, the outer peripheral portion of the polishing buff protrudes outside the circular pedestal and cannot be pressed in the same state as the central portion of the polishing buff. Insufficient pressure is generated at the outer peripheral portion, and uneven polishing tends to occur.

  Hereinafter, a polishing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 6 are schematic views showing a polishing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of the polishing system 1. FIG. 1 shows a polisher 41 together with the polishing system 1.
FIG. 2 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of the polishing system 1 of FIG.
The polishing system 1 of FIG. 1 includes an intermediate pad 2 and a polishing buff 3.

The polisher 41 is an example of a polishing apparatus, and is a portable polishing apparatus that is used to peel off or polish a painted surface of an automobile.
The polisher 41 includes a main body 42 incorporating a drive source such as a motor, a drive shaft 43 that protrudes from the main body 42 and is rotationally driven by the drive source, and a metal that is integrated with the tip of the drive shaft 43 and to which the polishing system 1 is attached. And a flat pedestal 44 having a flat plate shape.
The polisher 41 polishes the painted surface by rotationally driving the polishing system 1 with the polishing system 1 attached to the circular pedestal 44 pressed against the painted surface.

FIG. 3 is a schematic bottom view of the intermediate pad 2 of the polishing system 1 of FIG.
4 is a schematic top view of the intermediate pad 2 of FIG.
The intermediate pad 2 is attached to the circular base 44 of the polisher 41 in order to attach the polishing buff 3 to the polishing system 1. The intermediate pad 2 is formed in a substantially disc outer shape having a thickness suitable for rotational driving. The intermediate pad 2 includes a pedestal side adhesive plate 11, a cushion material 12, and a buff side adhesive plate 13 in order from the circular pedestal 44 side. The pedestal side adhesive plate 11, the cushion material 12, and the buff side adhesive plate 13 are integrated by being bonded to each other with an adhesive, for example. A central hole is formed at the center of the substantially disc-shaped intermediate pad 2.

The cushion material 12 is entirely made of a soft elastic material such as urethane. The cushion material 12 may be formed as a porous sponge, for example, as a porous sponge with a thickness of, for example, 2 to 4 cm and a disk-shaped outer shape of, for example, a diameter of 10 to 18 cm. By forming the elastic member by foaming, the cushion material 12 can be easily and freely deformed with a small force. Since the deformable cushion material 12 is interposed between the circular pedestal 44 and the polishing buff 3, even if the circular circular pedestal 44 is inclined with respect to the painted surface, the polishing surface of the polishing buff 3 can be changed. It becomes possible to make it adhere to the painted surface entirely. The polishing buff 3 can be applied flat to the painted surface.
The cushion material 12 is formed to have a larger diameter than the circular circular pedestal 44 and the polishing buff 3. A concave portion 14 to which the polishing buff 3 is attached is formed on one circular surface of the circular cushion material 12 opposite to the circular circular pedestal 44, that is, on the circular surface on the polishing surface side. An annular outer peripheral portion 15 that entirely surrounds the outer periphery of the polishing buff 3 is formed around the recess 14. Thereby, the cushion material 12 has the disc-shaped center part 16 pinched | interposed between a front board and a backplate, and the cyclic | annular outer peripheral part 15 provided along the outer periphery of the circular-shaped center part 16. . The outer peripheral portion 15 is formed in a state protruding from the central portion 16 toward the polishing surface.
And the amount of materials, such as urethane, can be reduced by forming the recessed part 14 instead of making the cushion material 12 into a simple circular shape. The amount of dioxins generated when the intermediate pad 2 is disposed of can be reduced.
The cushion material 12 may be formed in a multilayer structure in which a plurality of elastic materials are stacked in layers instead of a single elastic material. For example, the disc-shaped central portion 16 may be formed of the first material, and the annular outer peripheral portion 15 may be formed of the second material. In this case, at least the second material of the outer peripheral portion 15 may be formed softer than the polishing buff 3 with a material such as urethane foam.

The pedestal side adhesive plate 11 and the buff side adhesive plate 13 are provided with a raised surface fastener structure on one surface of a hard resin material disk such as polyethylene terephthalate.
The pedestal side attaching plate 11 attaches the intermediate pad 2 to the circular pedestal 44. The surface fastener structure of the pedestal side attaching plate 11 is engaged with the surface fastener structure of the circular pedestal 44. The buff side adhesive plate 13 attaches the polishing buff 3 to the intermediate pad 2. The surface fastener structure of the buff side attaching plate 13 is engaged with the surface fastener structure of the polishing buff 3. As a result, the intermediate pad 2 can be adhered firmly in a planar shape, and the attached intermediate pad 2 can be removed from the circular circular pedestal 44.
The cushion material 12 is sandwiched between the pedestal side adhesive plate 11 and the buff side adhesive plate 13. Thereby, even if the soft cushion material 12 is deformed during the painting operation in which the intermediate pad 2 is rotated, the outer shape of the intermediate pad 2 can be autonomously maintained in a substantially disc shape. The intermediate pad 2 can be made difficult to peel off from the circular pedestal 44 during the operation without relying only on the adhering force between the pedestal-side adhering plate 11 and the circular pedestal 44. The pedestal side adhesive plate 11 and the buff side adhesive plate 13 may be formed of a resin material harder than the cushion material 12 at least.

FIG. 5 is a schematic bottom view of the polishing buff 3 of the polishing system 1 of FIG.
FIG. 6 is a schematic top view of the polishing buff 3 of FIG.
The polishing buff 3 has a polishing surface in contact with the painted surface, and directly polishes the painted surface.
The polishing buff 3 has a thin disk-shaped attachment substrate 21 and a hard raised portion 22 formed on one surface of the attachment substrate 21. The mounting substrate 21 and the hard raised portion 22 are integrated by being bonded to each other with, for example, an adhesive. A central hole is formed at the center of the substantially disc-shaped polishing buff 3.
The mounting substrate 21 is formed of a hard resin material such as polyethylene terephthalate, and one surface has a surface fastener structure corresponding to the buff-side attaching plate 13.
The hard raised portion 22 may be formed of a hard resin material such as FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastics). The plurality of hard raised portions 22 are formed by raising glass fibers of FRP, for example. The hard brushed portion 22 can effectively scrape the painted surface by being pressed against the painted surface. The hard brushed portion 22 can efficiently scrape off a fixed matter such as an oxide film adhering to the surface of the painted surface without being severely scratched and damaged like the polishing buff 3 using a metal wire.
The polishing buff 3 is formed to have a diameter equal to or smaller than that of the circular pedestal 44 of the polisher 41, and is rotationally driven together with the circular pedestal 44 while being pressed against the painted surface. Thereby, the polishing buff 3 polishes the painted surface.

Next, the external relationship of the circular pedestal 44 of the polisher 41, the intermediate pad 2 of the polishing system 1, and the polishing buff 3 will be described.
The cushion material 12 of the intermediate pad 2 is formed to have a larger diameter than the circular pedestal 44 and the polishing buff 3. Accordingly, the outer peripheral portion 15 functions as an extension that protrudes outward from the circular circular pedestal 44 and the polishing buff 3. The outer peripheral portion 15 makes it difficult for the circular pedestal 44 and the polishing buff 3 to directly hit the protrusion during the polishing operation even when there is a protrusion such as a hood mirror of an automobile on the painted surface. As in the case where the circular pedestal 44 and the polishing buff 3 directly hit the bonnet mirror, it is difficult to damage the protrusion. The operator can concentrate on the paint removal work on the painted surface with peace of mind. Also, the painted surface can be polished up to the protruding object such as a bonnet mirror.
The depth of the recess 14 of the intermediate pad 2 is formed larger than the thickness of the polishing buff 3. The polishing buff 3 is accommodated in the recess 14, and its entire circumference is surrounded by an outer peripheral portion 15 that can be expanded and contracted. The annular outer peripheral portion 15 of the cushion material 12 protrudes from the polishing surface of the polishing buff 3 at a height of, for example, 1 to 3 cm in an uncompressed state. In a state where the polishing buff 3 is pressed against the painted surface, the outer peripheral portion 15 is pressed against the painted surface and contracts so as not to form a gap between the painted surface. When the contracted outer peripheral portion 15 is in close contact with the painted surface, it is possible to form a sealed space 61 that surrounds the entire periphery of the polishing buff 3. In this sealed space 61, for example, an abrasive or moisture can be held.
The recess 14 and the polishing buff 3 of the intermediate pad 2 are formed to have a smaller diameter than the circular pedestal 44. By forming the polishing buff 3 with a smaller diameter than the circular pedestal 44, the polishing buff 3 is entirely pressed against the coating surface by the force applied via the intermediate pad 2. By pressing with a relatively small pressure, the entire polishing surface S of the polishing buff 3 can be brought into close contact with the painted surface, and the coated surface can be polished without causing uneven polishing. Further, since the recess 14 of the intermediate pad 2 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the circular pedestal 44, the outer peripheral portion 15 of the intermediate pad 2 is pressed against the painted surface by the force applied from the circular pedestal 44. By pressing with a relatively small pressure, the outer peripheral portion 15 of the intermediate pad 2 can be brought into close contact with the painted surface.
The outer peripheral portion 15 is formed in a porous sponge shape by foaming urethane. For this reason, the outer peripheral portion 15 can be used as a polishing buff for finishing the painted surface polished by the polishing buff 3. The outer peripheral portion 15 may be formed with a width of 1 to 4 cm, for example. The intermediate pad 2 can be used for polishing work for mounting a polishing buff 3 to roughen a painted surface, and for polishing work for finishing. There is no need to replace the intermediate pad 2 when switching between these operations.

Next, a polishing method using the intermediate pad 2 of this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of a polishing method using the polishing system 1 of FIG.
In FIG. 7, a painted surface in which a coating layer 52 by an intermediate coating or a base coat and a scratch shield layer 53 are applied to the surface of a metallic sheet metal 51 is illustrated as a painted surface to be polished. Further, scratches 54 are formed on the scratch shield layer 53 on the painted surface before polishing in FIG.
Scratch shield painting is painting using a paint blended with a soft resin. In recent years, it has been used for painting sheet metal 51 of automobiles. For example, even if there are scratches due to car washing or scratches in daily use, the painted surface with a paint containing a soft resin can be restored to a state in which there are no scratches 54 over time. When such a painted surface is polished using the conventional polishing buff 3, the scratch shield layer 53 on the surface of the painted surface is heated. For example, the scratch shield layer 53 is damaged by being heated by 60 degrees or more. The attached state is re-stored as the original state. As a result, the subsequent scratch shield layer 53 is restored to a damaged state.
The polishing system 1 according to the present embodiment can be suitably used for an unpainted painted surface or a painted surface that has been painted for a long time. Will be described as an example.

By using the polishing system 1 of the present embodiment newly developed by the inventors of the present application, moisture can be held together with the polishing agent between the painted surface and the polishing buff 3 during the polishing operation. For this reason, even if it is used on a painted surface on which a scratch shield coating has been applied, moisture can be retained between the polishing buff 3 and the painted surface during the polishing operation, and the scratch shield layer 53 is not easily heated by frictional heat. it can. The temperature of the scratch shield layer 53 on the painted surface can be maintained at, for example, 40 degrees or less. The state where the scratch 54 is attached to the scratch shield layer 53 can be prevented from being stored as the restoration destination state.
In addition, by polishing using a water-based abrasive instead of an abrasive using a polymer as an abrasive, a painted surface coated with a scratch shield can be suitably polished.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the polishing system 1 of this embodiment is attached to a circular pedestal 44 of the polisher 41.
An operator, for example, puts an abrasive and water into the recess 14 of the cushion material 12 attached to the polisher 41 and applies the polishing system 1 to the painted surface. Thereby, a sealed space 61 is formed between the painted surface and the cushion material 12, and a mixed liquid 62 of the abrasive and water can be held in the sealed space 61.

Next, the operator presses the polished surface of the intermediate pad 2 against the painted surface as shown in FIG. The outer peripheral portion 15 of the intermediate pad 2 is pressed against the coating surface around the polishing buff 3 when the polishing buff 3 is pressed against the coating surface.
In the pressed state, the operator operates the polisher 41 to rotate the polishing system 1 as shown in FIG. The operator moves the rotating polishing system 1 along the polishing surface within the polishing range.
The polishing surface of the rotating polishing buff 3 rubs against the coating surface, and the hard brushed portion 22 scrapes off the deposits adhered to the coating surface.
Further, since the polishing surface of the polishing buff 3 is formed by the hard raised portions 22, moisture can enter between the polishing surface of the rotating polishing buff 3 and the coating surface together with the polishing agent. Moisture is supplied to the surface of the painted surface, which is polished by rubbing the polished surface of the polishing buff 3, and cooled.
As a result, even if the surface temperature of the painted surface is heated by the frictional heat accompanying polishing during the polishing operation, the temperature of the painted surface does not become a high temperature of, for example, 60 degrees or more. During the polishing operation, the scratch shield layer 53 never stores a new restored state. Even if polishing is performed in a state where the scratch shield layer 53 has scratches 54, the scratch shield layer 53 can be restored to the original state in which the scratches 54 are eliminated thereafter.

  As a result, the polishing system 1 of the present embodiment can remove fixed matters such as an oxide film attached to the surface of the painted surface while suppressing the alteration of the scratch shield layer 53 formed on the surface of the painted surface. it can.

Further, in the polishing system 1 of the present embodiment, after the coated surface is polished with the polishing buff 3, the outer peripheral portion 15 of the intermediate pad 2 is applied to the coated surface polished with the polishing buff 3, as shown in FIG. By rubbing, the finished surface can be applied to the coated surface that has been roughly polished by the polishing buff 3.
Without changing the polisher 41 and the intermediate pad 2, the rough polishing operation and the finish polishing operation of the painted surface can be performed continuously.
As described above, by using the polishing system 1 of the present embodiment, an operator can perform a series of these operations without being interrupted by an operation of supplying moisture to the painted surface or an operation of replacing the intermediate pad 2. It is possible to carry out the polishing operation continuously. You can work efficiently. Note that the necessary polishing buff 3 may be replaced as appropriate during the polishing operation.

  In the above polishing method, the polishing operation is started by putting the abrasive and water into the recess 14 of the intermediate pad 2, but the abrasive and water may be supplied directly to the painted surface. . Moisture can be supplied to the painted surface with a sprayer, for example. Even in this case, the abrasive system and water are applied to the sealed space 61 formed between the paint surface and the cushioning material 12 by covering the paint surface supplied with the abrasive and water. Can be housed and held.

As described above, in the polishing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the diameter of the polisher 41 is equal to or smaller than the circular pedestal 44, and the coated surface is polished by being rotated together with the circular pedestal 44 while being pressed against the painted surface. The polishing buff 3 and the intermediate pad 2 attached to the circular pedestal 44 are provided. The intermediate pad 2 has a concave portion 14 to which the polishing buff 3 is attached and an outer peripheral portion 15 surrounding the outer periphery of the polishing buff 3 attached to the concave portion 14, and the outer peripheral portion 15 applies the polishing buff 3 to the coating surface. Hits the paint surface around the polishing buff 3.
Therefore, the sealed space 61 for accommodating the polishing buff 3 can be formed by the intermediate pad 2 and the painted surface, and the abrasive and water can be accommodated and held in the sealed space 61. Water can be continuously supplied to the coated surface to be polished by the polishing buff 3 together with the abrasive to cool the coated surface with water, and the temperature of the coated surface to be polished can hardly be increased.
The polishing buff 3 is not directly attached to the circular pedestal 44 of the polisher 41, but is attached to the circular pedestal 44 with the intermediate pad 2 interposed therebetween. Since the diameter of the polishing buff 3 can be entirely brought into pressure contact with the painted surface, the unevenness of polishing can be made difficult to occur.
On the other hand, if the polishing buff 3 is formed with a larger diameter than the circular pedestal 44, for example, the outer peripheral portion 15 of the polishing buff 3 protrudes outside the circular pedestal 44 and is in the same state as the central portion of the polishing buff 3. It cannot be pressed, and insufficient pressure occurs in the outer peripheral portion 15 minutes, so that polishing unevenness is likely to occur.

  In the present embodiment, the intermediate pad 2 is made of an elastic material in which at least the outer peripheral portion 15 can be compressed. The outer peripheral portion 15 protrudes from the polishing buff 3 in an uncompressed state and presses the polishing buff 3 against the coating surface. At this time, it is compressed and brought into pressure contact with the coating surface around the polishing buff 3. Therefore, even when the painted surface is a curved surface or there are slight irregularities on the painted surface, the outer peripheral portion 15 protruding from the polishing buff 3 is entirely pressed against the painted surface to form a sealed space 61, Can be maintained.

  In the present embodiment, the polishing buff 3 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the circular pedestal 44, and at least a part of the outer peripheral portion 15 of the intermediate pad 2 overlaps with the circular pedestal 44, and is coated with the polishing buff 3 by the circular pedestal 44. Pressed against the surface. Therefore, even when the painted surface is a curved surface or there are slight irregularities on the painted surface, the outer peripheral portion 15 of the intermediate pad 2 is entirely pressed against the painted surface to form and maintain a sealed space 61. Can do.

  In the present embodiment, the intermediate pad 2 is formed to have a larger diameter than the circular pedestal 44. Therefore, the intermediate pad 2 protrudes outward from the circular pedestal 44 and the polishing buff 3, and can function as an extension for making it difficult for the circular pedestal 44 or the polishing buff 3 to directly contact a member protruding from the painted surface.

  The above embodiment is an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications or changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the intermediate pad 2 is formed in a circular shape. In addition, for example, the intermediate pad 2 may be formed in a configuration other than a circle, for example, a substantially circle.

In the above embodiment, the polishing buff 3 and the recess 14 of the cushion material 12 are formed to have a smaller diameter than the circular circular pedestal 44. That is, the polishing buff 3 is formed to have an outer diameter equal to or smaller than that of the circular pedestal 44 and is entirely pressed against the painted surface by the circular pedestal 44.
In addition, for example, the polishing buff 3 may be formed to have the same outer diameter as the circular circular pedestal 44. Even in this case, the polishing buff 3 is entirely pressed against the painted surface by the circular pedestal 44.

  In the said embodiment, the outer peripheral part 15 of the cushion material 12 protruded from the grinding | polishing buff 3 in the state which is not compressed. However, the outer peripheral portion 15 of the cushion material 12 may be flush with the polishing buff 3 in an uncompressed state. Further, the polishing buff 3 in an uncompressed state may protrude from the outer peripheral portion 15 of the cushion material 12. The inventors have confirmed that an effect equivalent to that of the above embodiment can be obtained by such a configuration.
