Description

  The present invention relates to a saw chain sharpening device.

  The saw chain of the chainsaw includes a cutting blade having a horizontal blade extending upward (opposite to the guide bar) from the side of the link of the saw chain, and an upper blade extending inward in the horizontal direction from the upper end of the horizontal blade, And a depth gauge for determining the cutting amount of the cutting blade by projecting upward from the link slightly lower than the upper blade. Generally, the saw chain is designed so that, when worn, the upper blade and the side blade can be polished and sharpened simultaneously using a cylindrical bar file.

  However, the upper blade of a normal saw chain is inclined so that the front side in the traveling direction of the saw chain is higher. For this reason, the sharpening of the saw chain not only makes the upper blade and the side blade sharp, but also makes it necessary to lower the depth gauge by the amount of height reduction due to the cutting of the upper blade.

  Therefore, it has an outer peripheral edge that is formed in a substantially disc shape and is rounded and curved so as to have a diameter corresponding to the above-mentioned bar file, and this outer peripheral edge can polish the upper and side blades of the saw chain, and a depth gauge by the back inner surface. It has been proposed to use a disc grindstone capable of polishing the surface (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-1423).

  In the above publication, a fixed portion sandwiched and fixed by a guide bar on which a saw chain is mounted is slidable in a direction inclined upward with respect to the traveling direction of the saw chain, and swings upward around the front side of the saw chain. A sharpening device is described that holds a disc grindstone that is movable and slidable in a direction perpendicular to the guide bar.

  However, many saw chains are formed such that the upper blade extends obliquely upward from the horizontal blade instead of being horizontal. Such a saw chain cannot be polished correctly with the sharpening device of the above publication.

  In the sharpening device of the above publication, polishing can be performed so that the difference in height between the depth gauge and the upper blade is constant, but since the amount of cutting is left to the user's sense, the height of the depth gauge and upper blade is determined by the cutting blade. May be non-uniform.

  Further, the dressing device disclosed in the above publication is complicated and large in size, and a dressing device that can easily dress a saw chain is desired.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-1423

  In view of the above-described disadvantages, an object of the present invention is to provide a sharpening device that can easily polish the upper and side blades and the depth gauge of a saw chain.

  The invention made to solve the above-mentioned problems is a sharpening device for polishing a cutting blade and a depth gauge protruding from a saw chain mounted on a guide bar of a chain saw, wherein the upper blade and the horizontal blade of the cutting blade In addition, a disk grindstone for simultaneously polishing the depth gauge, a grindstone support member for rotatably supporting the disk grindstone, and the grindstone support member for moving the disk grindstone to the left and right in the traveling direction of the saw chain mounted on the guide bar A movable member that supports the position of the saw chain so that the position of the movable member can be changed, and the movable member is slidably mounted so as to move downward as the saw chain moves backward in the traveling direction of the saw chain. A mounting member, and a contact member attached to the mounting member and contacting the cutting blade rearward in the saw chain traveling direction; The mounting member has a base that abuts on the upper surface of the cutting blade, and a pair of hanging parts protruding downward from the base so as to be disposed at a position sandwiching the guide bar. The interval is larger at the lower end than at the upper end.

  The sharpening device can offset the disc grindstone to the left or right by moving the movable member. Further, the sharpening device attaches the mounting member to the guide bar from the top of the saw chain, and abuts the lower end inside of the hanging part on one side of the mounting member to the guide bar so that the axis in the traveling direction of the saw chain is centered. The disc grindstone can be tilted. Due to the offset and inclination of the disc grindstone, the sharpening device holds the disc grindstone at an appropriate angle with respect to the upper blade and the side blade of the cutting blade. Further, the sharpening device presses the disc grindstone diagonally against the cutting blade and the depth gauge from the front upper side in the saw chain traveling direction by attaching the movable member to the mounting member so as to be slidable. As a result, the cutting of the cutting blade and the cutting of the depth gauge become constant, and polishing can be performed so that the difference between the height of the upper blade and the depth gauge is substantially constant. Further, the sharpening device positions the mounting member in the saw chain traveling direction with respect to the cutting edge by the abutting member, so that the end position of cutting with respect to each cutting edge of the disc grindstone by sliding of the movable member can be made constant. As described above, the sharpening device can easily polish the side blade, the upper blade, and the depth gauge of the saw blade.

  The mounting member has a pair of base portions that are separated from each other in the saw chain traveling direction and connected via the pair of hanging portions, and the contact member is attached to the base portion at the rear of the saw chain traveling direction. The movable member may be attached to the base in front of the saw chain traveling direction, and the disc grindstone may be provided in a space between the pair of bases by sliding of the movable member. As described above, the base portion is divided and arranged before and after the saw chain traveling direction of the disc grindstone, whereby the inclination of the mounting member with respect to the saw chain traveling direction can be reduced.

  It is good to have the protrusion part which protrudes inside from the lower end vicinity of the said drooping part, and can contact | abut to the said guide bar. In this way, by bringing the protrusion into contact with the guide bar, the inclination of the mounting member relative to the guide bar about the axis in the saw chain traveling direction can be made constant.

  It is good to provide the adjustment member which detachably engages with the lower end of the said hanging part so that it may protrude inside the said protrusion part. By mounting such an adjusting member, it is possible to adjust the inclination of the mounting member with respect to the guide bar with respect to the axis of the saw chain traveling direction as a center, and it is possible to cope with saw chains having different upper blade shapes.

  The disc grindstone is supported to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the sliding direction of the movable member, and the grindstone support member is supported to swing about an axis perpendicular to the sliding direction of the movable member. It is good to be. Accordingly, the disc grindstone can be supported in a preferable posture with respect to the upper blade and the horizontal blade.

The sharpening device of FIG. 1 includes a disc grindstone 10, a grindstone support member 20 that rotatably supports the disc grindstone 10, and a movable member that supports the grindstone support member 20 so that the position of the grindstone support member 20 can be changed. 30, a mounting member 40 to which the movable member 30 is slidably attached, and a contact member 50 movably attached to the mounting member 40.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the sharpening device polishes a cutting edge 71 and a depth gauge 72 projecting from a saw chain 70 mounted on a chain saw guide bar 60.

<Disk whetstone>
As shown in FIG. 3, the disc grindstone 10 is a substantially disc-shaped grindstone having a rotating shaft 11 connected to the center. The disk grindstone 10 is formed, for example, by bonding diamond powder to the surface of a metal body formed into a disk shape with a binder.

  In this disk grindstone 10, the cross section of the outer peripheral edge 12 is curved in an arc shape, and the upper peripheral edge 73 and the horizontal edge 74 of the cutting edge 71 of the saw chain 70 are simultaneously polished by the outer peripheral edge 12. Further, the disc grindstone 10 has a recessed back surface, and the depth gauge 72 of the saw chain 70 is polished by the inner surface 13 defined by the recessed portion on the back surface. Therefore, the disc grindstone 10 can polish the depth gauge 72 by the inner surface 13 simultaneously with polishing the upper blade 73 and the side blade 74 of the cutting blade 71 of the saw chain 70 by the outer peripheral edge 12.

  The diameter of the disc grindstone 10 is preferably 30 mm or more and 100 mm or less, for example, 40 mm.

  The inner surface 13 of the disc grindstone 10 is preferably a substantially conical surface with a large apex angle so that the central portion is slightly convex. The angle of the conical inner surface 13 with respect to the radial direction of the rotating shaft 11 is preferably 0 ° or more and 15 ° or less, and is, for example, 10 °.

  In the sharpening device, the disk grindstone 10 is supported so as to have an inclination angle substantially equal to the upper surface of the upper blade 73 in the central cross section in the thickness direction of the guide bar 60.

<Whetstone support member>
The grindstone support member 20 is pivotally supported by a pivot shaft 21 so that its position can be changed by swinging with respect to the movable member 30, and the position can be fixed by a fixing bolt 22. Moreover, the grindstone support member 20 accommodates a motor (not shown) that drives the disc grindstone 10 above the disc grindstone 10 and has a grip portion 23 that is gripped by the user. The grip portion 23 is provided with a drive switch 24 that energizes the motor and a select switch 25 that electrically selects the rotation direction of the motor.

<Moveable member>
The movable member 30 moves on the mounting member 40 in parallel with the traveling direction of the saw chain 70 (shown by an arrow D in FIG. 2) in plan view and downward as the saw chain 70 travels rearward in the side view. It is slidably supported in such a direction. The sliding direction of the movable member 30 is perpendicular to the rotating shaft 11 of the disc grindstone 10 and the pivot shaft 21 that is the central axis of the rocking of the grindstone support member 20. That is, the sliding direction of the movable member 30 in a side view is substantially equal to the direction of the upper surface of the upper blade 73 of the saw chain 70. Further, the sliding position of the movable member 30 with respect to the mounting member 40 is determined at both end positions, and restricts the protruding position of the disc grindstone 10 with respect to the cutting edge 71.

  The movable member 30 also has a cover 31 that extends to the side of the disc grindstone 10. The cover 31 is formed so as not to come into contact with the disc grindstone 10 even when the grindstone support member 20 of the disc grindstone 10 swings.

<Mounting member>
The mounting member 40 includes a first base 41 that contacts the upper surface of the cutting edge 71 of the saw chain 70 in the rearward direction of the saw chain 70 with respect to the disc grindstone 10, and a saw in the forward direction of the saw chain 70 with respect to the disc grindstone 10. The second base 42 that contacts the upper surface of the cutting edge 71 of the chain 70, and the first base 41 that protrudes downward from both side ends of the first base 41 and the second base 42 that are separated in the traveling direction of the saw chain 70. And a pair of plate-like hanging parts 43 and 44 for connecting the second base part 42.

  A groove 47 in which the contact member 50 is slidably disposed is formed on the first base portion 41. Further, the above-described movable member 30 is slidably disposed on the second base portion 42. As a specific means, for example, there is a method of fixing a guide rail that is slidably fitted to the movable member 30 in one direction on the second base 42.

  Thus, the mounting member 40 is spaced apart in the traveling direction of the saw chain 70 to form a work space where the saw chain 70 can exist between the first base portion 41 and the second base portion 42. The disc grindstone 10 is provided in this work space so as to be able to move out and out by sliding the movable member 30.

  The drooping portions 43 and 44 each have a U-shaped or C-shaped side surface opening on the upper side, and the interval at the lower end is larger than the interval at the upper end connected to the bases 41 and 42. It is inclined symmetrically. The hanging parts 43 and 44 have projecting parts 45 and 46 projecting inward from the vicinity of the lower end. In addition, a plurality of ribs are formed on the hanging parts 43 and 44 on the outer side surfaces for reinforcement.

  The distance between the upper ends of the hanging parts 43 and 44 is set to a distance that forms a gap slightly larger than the width of the saw chain 70, for example, 6.2 mm. The inclination of the hanging parts 43 and 44 is preferably 5 ° or more and 10 ° or less, more preferably 6 ° or more and 8 ° or less. The protrusion length of the protrusions 45 and 46 is preferably about ½ of the difference between the width of the saw chain 70 and the thickness of the guide bar 60. Thereby, when the protrusions 45 and 46 are brought into contact with the guide bar 60, the hanging parts 43 and 44 can be arranged in parallel with the guide bar 60.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the adjustment member 80 can be attached to the lower end of the drooping parts 43 and 44 so that attachment or detachment is possible. Although the adjusting member 80 is attached to one hanging part 43 in FIG. 1, it can be similarly attached to the other hanging part 44. The adjusting member 80 is attached so as to cover at least a part of the projecting portions 45 and 46 and project inward from the projecting portions 45 and 46.

<Contact member>
The contact member 50 is formed, for example, by bending a metal plate. The contact member 50 is disposed in the groove 47 of the first base portion 41 so as to be movable along the traveling direction of the saw chain 70, and its position is fixed by a retaining screw 51. The tip of the contact member 50 arranged in this way can contact the cutting blade 71 at the rear of the saw chain 60 in the traveling direction. That is, the contact member 50 determines the position of the saw blade 71 of the saw chain 70 in the advancing direction when the tip contacts the rear of the cutting blade 71.

[how to use]
As shown in FIG. 4, the sharpening device having the above-described configuration is first a grindstone support member centered on the pivot shaft 21 so as to offset the disc grindstone 10 to the side opposite to the side blade 74 of the cutting edge 71 to be polished. 20 is rocked and fixed with fixing bolts 22.

  Then, the mounting member 40 is mounted on the guide bar 60 from above the saw chain 70. Accordingly, the base portions 41 and 42 are placed on the upper surface of the cutting blade 71 of the saw chain 70, and the hanging portions 43 and 44 are disposed at positions where the guide bar 60 is sandwiched. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the grip member 23 is inclined to the side where the disc grindstone 10 is offset, and the mounting member 40 is inclined with the saw chain 70 as the center in the front view. On the other hand, the protrusion 45 in FIG. 5 is brought into contact with the side surface of the guide bar 60. Accordingly, the width of the upper end portions of the hanging portions 43 and 44 is substantially equal to the width of the cutting edge 71 of the saw chain 70, so that the hanging portion 43 is held substantially parallel to the guide bar 60.

  The movable member 30 is slid on the mounting member 40 without fixing the contact member 50, and the disc grindstone 10 is moved backward in the traveling direction of the saw chain 70. As a result, the disc grindstone 10 is brought into contact with the cutting blade 71 in the forward direction of the saw chain 70, and the movable member 30 is further slid to the sliding end on the first base 21 side, thereby moving the saw chain 70 in the forward direction of the saw chain 70. Retreat. From here, the abutment member 50 is fixed by the retaining screw 51 in a state where the saw chain 70 is moved forward in the advancing direction by a distance where the cutting edge 71 is desired to be polished, and the disc grindstone 10 and the movable member 30 are retracted. By doing so, the position of the cutting edge 71 is determined.

  After such a preparation, the disc wheel 10 is rotated by the drive switch 24 and the grip portion 23 is pressed backward in the traveling direction of the saw chain 70, so that the upper blade 73 and the horizontal blade of the cutting blade 71 of the saw chain 70. 74 and the depth gauge 72 are polished.

  Here, since the sliding direction of the movable member 30 is a direction along the inclination of the upper blade 73 of the cutting blade 71 as described above, the position on the outer peripheral edge 12 of the disc grindstone 10 with which the upper blade 73 abuts is substantially constant. The heights of the tip edge of the upper blade 73 polished by the disc grindstone 10 and the inner surface 13 of the disc grindstone 10 are substantially constant. Therefore, using the sharpening device, the difference in height between the tip edge of the upper blade 73 polished by the outer peripheral edge 12 of the disc grindstone 10 and the depth gauge 72 polished by the inner surface 13 of the disc grindstone 10 is constant. .

  When the cutting edge 71 and the depth gauge 72 on one link of the saw chain 70 are polished, the grip portion 23 is moved forward in the traveling direction of the saw chain 70, and the mounting member 40 is lifted from the saw chain 70, and the disc grindstone 10 is moved to the next. Is disposed in front of the cutting edge 71 in the same direction to be polished. At this time, the saw chain 70 may be rotated on the depth gauge 60.

  Since the contact member 50 is fixed before the first cutting edge 71 and the depth gauge 72 are polished, the grip portion 23 is pressed rearward in the traveling direction of the saw chain 70, and the movable member 30 is slid toward the first base portion 21 side. By sliding to the end, the next cutting edge 71 and depth gauge 72 can be polished to the same height as the cutting edge 71 and depth gauge 72 that have been polished first. Therefore, the amount of cut is constant in the chain saw equipped with the saw chain 70 whose upper blade 73 and depth gauge 72 are polished by the setting device.

  Further, the sharpening device has the detachable adjusting member 80 at the lower ends of the hanging portions 43 and 44 as described above. The adjustment member 80 is attached to the lower end portion of the hanging portion 43 or 44, so that it contacts the guide bar 60 when the attachment member 40 is attached on the saw chain 70 as shown in FIG. Thus, the rotating shaft 11 of the disc grindstone 10 can be held substantially parallel to the guide bar 60.

<Advantages>
As described above, the sharpening device can be easily positioned with respect to the cutting blades 71 and the depth gauges 72 of the multiple links of the saw chain 70 only by first positioning the contact member 50. The upper blade 73, the side blade 74, and the depth gauge 72 can be polished simultaneously and easily.

  In repeating this polishing operation, the sharpening device tilts the mounting member 40 by the weight of the grip portion 23 including the disc grindstone 10 and the motor that drives the disc grindstone, and guides the protrusions 45 and 46 of the hanging portions 43 and 44. It abuts on the bar 60. For this reason, the inclination of the said disk grindstone 10 can be ensured easily.

  Further, in the dressing device, by mounting the mounting member 40 on the guide bar 60 from above the saw chain 70, the disc grindstone 10 can be inclined in front view (as viewed from the traveling direction of the saw chain 70). Thereby, since the said sharpening apparatus can arrange | position the disc grindstone 10 according to the inclination in the front view of the upper blade 73 of the saw chain 70, the upper blade 73 can be grind | polished appropriately according to the angle.

  Moreover, since the mounting member 40 has the 1st base 41 and the 2nd base 42 in the front and back of the disc grindstone 10 in the said sharpening apparatus, the angle with respect to the saw chain 70 of the disc grindstone 10 in a side view is comparatively accurate.

  In the sharpening device, the disc grindstone 10 has the rotating shaft 11 perpendicular to the sliding direction of the movable member 30, and the pivot shaft 21 of the grindstone support member 20 is parallel to the grindstone support member 20. Thus, there is no change in the angle of the disc grindstone 10 due to the swinging movement and the sliding of the movable member 30, and the upper blade 73, the side blade 74 and the depth gauge 72 can be polished simultaneously.
