Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to processing of endless belts.
Relates to apparatus, and more particularly always stabilize the traveling of the endless belt, such as a vulcanized belt sleeve is processed to the back of accurately endless belt, also relates to machining apparatus of the endless belt for polishing by pressing the heat generated when the belt is processed is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a multi-ribbed belt is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-17552, a reverse molded body obtained by laminating a canvas, an upper rubber layer, a tensile body, and a lower rubber layer on a mandrel is vulcanized, and the vulcanized sleeve obtained is used as a tubular surface portion. It is manufactured by a grinder method in which a plurality of V-shaped grooves are ground by a grinding wheel in which portions having a plurality of V-shaped grooves are connected and integrated.

Recently, in a long multi-ribbed belt, a vulcanized belt sleeve is hung on a driving roll and a driven roll to run, and the surface of the running belt sleeve is ground into a V groove by a grinding wheel. Being manufactured. Further, these methods are not limited to the multi-ribbed belt, and also in the low edge belt, the vulcanized belt sleeve is stretched on two rolls in the same manner to run, and is cut into a V shape by a cutter. Also, for toothed belts,
A sleeve of a vulcanized toothed belt is stretched over two rolls and the back surface of the belt is polished to finish it to a constant thickness.

By the way, in manufacturing these belts,
Usually, a rope-shaped core wire is embedded in the belt sleeve as a tension member. When such an endless belt is hung between two rolls and run, the twisting of the core wire when the core wire is spirally wound and When the belt is processed by the grinding wheel or while the belt is being separated from the belt sleeve, the belt sleeve slightly shifts due to the inclination, which causes deviation in one direction (deviation). There is a problem that processing cannot be performed accurately. For this reason, conventionally, in order to prevent such a deviation during belt running, it has been practiced to alternately arrange Z-twisted wires and S-twisted wires in the core wire and embed them.

Further, the conventional polishing wheel has a polishing portion extending relatively in the circumferential direction between slits extending in the width direction at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. This polishing portion had convex portions having a triangular cross section along the width direction at regular intervals, and diamond was attached to the surface thereof.

[0006]

However, in the configuration of the core wire in which the Z twists and the S twists are simply alternately arranged as described above, even the deviation due to the inclination of the core wire during the continuous spiral winding can be achieved. It was not enough to prevent it, and when viewed as a whole, it could not be said to be sufficient to prevent deviation while the belt was running.

Then, as a supplement to this, it was considered to use two rolls in the shape of a crown having a mountain height at the center, but in this case, the back surface of the belt sleeve suspended between both rolls is also used. Similarly, it becomes a crown,
On the contrary, there was a problem that an accurate straight V-shaped groove could not be processed.

Another problem is that in the conventional polishing wheel, the length of the polishing portion along the circumferential direction is large.
When the belt sleeve is processed, a large amount of heat is generated in the sleeve, which causes vulcanization and reversion, which makes it impossible to perform accurate processing, and also consumes a large amount of power during processing. In view of the above situation, the present invention copes with the situation and improves the configuration of the roll that stretches the belt to prevent the endless belt such as a belt sleeve from running unbalanced to provide an accurate running line. The purpose of this is to ensure the polishing of the back surface of the belt, suppress heat generation with a low load, and perform the processing accurately at high speed.

[0009]

That is, a feature of the present invention which meets the above-mentioned object is to provide at least a main shaft roll and a sub shaft roll for hanging an endless belt and running the belt under a predetermined tension. And, one end of each of the rolls is fixed, and the other end is a belt running unit that can be detached by a detaching member, and the belt running unit is disposed adjacent to the belt running unit.
An endless belt processing apparatus comprising a belt processing section having a grinding wheel for grinding V-grooves on the back surface of a running endless belt, wherein at least one roll of the belt running section rotates with an axis and has an axial direction. And a belt biasing device in which at least one fixing flange rotatable with the traveling of the belt is arranged on the one end fixed side of the roll of the outer cylinder. The grinding wheel of the belt processing section is provided with a plurality of polishing sections protruding at regular intervals along the circumferential direction thereof, and the polishing section has rib sections having a constant pitch along the width direction thereof. It is in the belt processing device.

Further, according to the present invention, a grinding wheel is provided on a surface thereof with a polishing portion projecting at a constant pitch along a circumferential direction and a groove-like slit portion located between the polishing portions. The length in the circumferential direction is set to 10 to 50% of the pitch length L of the polishing portions arranged along the circumferential direction, and rib portions and concave portions are alternately arranged along the width direction of the polishing portion. Granules are attached to at least the surface of the rib portion and the concave portion of the polishing portion, and the tip end surface including the edge of the rib portion, while forming a fluid passage communicating with the vicinity of the polishing portion inside the grinding wheel and forming a fluid passage. Providing a housing for inserting the shaft
Including the case.

[0011]

In the endless belt processing apparatus of the present invention, the endless belt is stretched on the main shaft roll and the sub shaft roll under a predetermined tension, and the end face of the belt is run in contact with the rotatable flange. . Then, if the endless belt travels and is biased in the direction of pressing the flange, this pressing force causes the outer cylinder fitted to the spindle roll to move in the opposite direction due to the reaction of this force, and the endless belt is always small. It will come into contact with the flange due to the pressing force, and keep the belt running line constant. Therefore, when the endless belt runs in such a state, the back surface of the belt can be accurately processed when the grinding wheel of the belt processing unit is operated.

[0012] Moreover, to have a function of grinding wheel region near the edge of the abrasive portion mainly to grind an endless belt, it becomes possible to reduce the length of the polishing section, to reduce the rotational load of the grinding wheel The heat generated by the endless belt can be suppressed and high-speed rotation can be performed quickly and accurately. Further, the groove-shaped slit portion provided between the polishing portions serves as a region for temporarily releasing the stress applied to the surface to be ground of the endless belt during processing and restoring the deformation. As a result, the surface to be ground is processed again in the polishing section without leaving any distortion, enabling highly accurate grinding.

[0013]

The spindle attaching / detaching member 12 supports and fixes the end of the spindle roll 2 and can be detached from the end, so that the rod 19 inserted into the bearing 18 can be moved by the operation of the cylinder 20. ing. At the tip of the rod 19, a groove portion 2 provided on the end face of the spindle roll 2 is provided.
1. Conical end 22 and rod 19 that fit with 1 to align cores
And a tubular portion 24 arranged on the outer circumference of the tailstock 23 that can idle.

The cylindrical portion 24 can be fitted into the outer peripheral surface of the end portion of the spindle roll 2, and the outer peripheral surface of the tail stock 23 is connected to the cylinder 26 via a slidable ring body 25 so as to be slidable. ing. Further, the spindle detachable member 1
In FIG. 2, 2 is rotated together with the arm 27 around the axis in the direction of the arrow to facilitate the attachment and removal of the endless belt 4 to the roll. On the other hand, the auxiliary shaft attaching / detaching member 16 is also configured such that the rod 19 inserted into the bearing 18 can be moved by the operation of the cylinder 20, and can be swung in the direction of the arrow in the drawing.

Therefore, the endless belt 4 such as a belt sleeve having a core wire such as a cord embedded therein is attached to the spindle roll 2.
Also, since the main shaft roll 2 and the sub shaft roll 3 are hung on the sub shaft roll 3 and are attached to and taken out from these rolls, the detachable members 12 and 16 of the main shaft roll 2 and the sub shaft roll 3 are in a cantilevered state.

The belt running unit 5 is not limited to the main shaft roll 2 and the sub shaft roll 3, but other rolls such as tension rolls may be used.

Next, one of the present invention is applied to the belt running unit 5 described above.
The belt biasing prevention portion 6 which is one of the main portions is fitted with an outer cylinder 35 which rotates with the shaft and is movable in the axial direction on one of the rolls 2 and 3, that is, the main shaft roll 2 in this embodiment. At the same time, the endless belt 4 abuts against the endless belt 4 and is provided with a flange 36 for preventing the movement thereof.

That is, the main shaft roll 2 becomes a spline shaft except for both ends thereof, a plurality of keys provided in the axial direction are provided in the circumferential direction, and an outer cylinder 35 movable in the axial direction is fitted on the outside thereof. ing. The outer cylinder 35 rotates together with the main shaft roll 2 and is movable in the axial direction.

At one end of the outer cylinder 35, a fixing flange 36 is fitted on the outer surface with a slight clearance from the outer cylinder 35, and the idler 3 is mounted on the spindle roll base 9.
8 is rotatably attached to the endless belt, and the fixing flange 36 comes into contact with the side wall 37 of the endless belt and rotates as the belt 4 travels, so that the reaction of the pressing force generated by the deviation of the endless belt 4 is eliminated. The outer cylinder 35 is moved by transmitting it to the cylinder 35.

The fixing flange 36 may be located at the end of the main shaft roll 2, the end of the counter shaft roll 3, or between the main shaft roll 2 and the counter shaft roll 3, but as shown in the figure, the main shaft roll 2 is shown. Most preferably it is located at the end of. This is because, in particular, the reaction of the endless belt 4 to the biasing force is sensitively transmitted to the outer cylinder 35 to move the outer cylinder 35.

On the other hand, at the end portion of the main spindle roll 2, the cylinder portion 24 of the main spindle detaching member 12 is fitted into the outer peripheral portion of the main spindle roll 2, and the end portion of the outer cylinder 35 is pressed by the cylinder 26 with a predetermined pressure. Is as described above, and the outer cylinder 35
As the cylinder moves, the cylindrical portion 24 also retracts.

The outer cylinder 35 is fitted only on the outer circumference of the main shaft roll 2 in the figure, but it can be fitted on the outer circumference of the auxiliary shaft roll 3 or both the rolls. You can also

Further, in the figure, the side wall 37 of the endless belt 4 is brought into contact with the fixed flange 36, and the outer cylinder 35 is brought into contact with the tip of the cylindrical portion 24 of the main shaft attaching / detaching member 12, but this is the outer cylinder. This is to prevent a slight movement of 35 in the axial direction, that is, shake.

Further, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 40 denotes a belt processing portion, for example, a processing portion 40 for V-groove polishing of a multi-ribbed belt.
The processing section 40 includes an X-axis movable base 41 that moves in parallel with the axis of the main shaft roll 2, and a Y-axis that moves in a direction perpendicular to the X-axis movable base 41 and is installed on the X-axis movable base 41. It has a movable base 42. The X-axis movable base 41 is fitted to a slide base 44 provided on the support base 43, and a shaft 46 connected to an X-axis pulse motor 45 is fitted therein. Further, the Y-axis movable table 42 is fitted with a slide base 47 provided on the X-axis movable table 41, and a shaft 49 connected to a Y-axis pulse motor 48 to move back and forth in the main shaft roll 2 direction.
Has been inserted. The Y-axis movable base 42 is equipped with a grinding wheel 50 having a plurality of grooves and a prime mover 52 for rotating the grinding wheel 50 via a belt 51.

Therefore, in the processing section 40, first, the rotating grinding wheel 50 is installed at a predetermined position of the endless belt 4 by the operation of the X-axis pulse motor 45, and then the
The grinding wheel 5 is driven by the operation of the Y-axis pulse motor 48.
0 is processed in the vicinity of the endless belt 4 to perform V groove processing, the Y-axis movable table 42 is returned to the original position, and the X movable table 41 is again formed.
Is moved in the width direction of the endless belt by a predetermined pitch.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 10, the grinding wheel 50 is alternately provided with polishing portions 55 projecting at a constant pitch L along the circumferential direction thereof, and the polishing portions 55 are arranged in the width direction and Rib portions 56 and concave portions 57 having a triangular cross section are alternately provided at a constant pitch along an oblique direction with respect to the rotation axis of the grinding wheel 50. The rib portion 56 and the concave portion 5
The granular material 67 made of diamond or the like is adhered to the surface of No. 7, but at the same time, it is also adhered to the tip surface 69 including the edge 68 of the rib portion 56 of the polishing portion 55, that is, the surface contacting the endless belt 4. There is. In the present invention,
The polishing section 55 may be parallel to the rotation axis. The groove-shaped slit portion 71 provided between the polishing portions 55 is
This is a region where the stress received by the ground surface of the endless belt is once released and the deformation is restored. As a result, the surface to be ground is processed again by the polishing section 55 without leaving any distortion, which enables highly accurate grinding.

The circumferential length P of each polishing section 55 corresponds to about 10 to 50% of the pitch length L (L = P + D) of the polishing section 55. If it exceeds 50%, the rotational load of the grinding wheel is gradually increased and the endless belt 4 is likely to generate heat. On the other hand, when it is less than 10, the rotational load of the grinding wheel does not decrease so much, and the polishing area is rather reduced, which causes a problem that machining time is required. The most preferable range of the circumferential length of the polishing section 55 is about 30 to 40% of the pitch length L of the polishing section 55. In addition, the slit portion 71
The length D in the circumferential direction is 9 times the pitch length L of the polishing portion 55.
This corresponds to about 0 to 50%, and by doing so, it is possible to release the stress received by the surface to be ground once and give a margin to restore the deformation.

FIG. 10 shows another shape of the polishing portion 55. The front and rear tip surfaces 69 of the rib portion 56 of the polishing portion 55 are inclined to increase the occupied area. This has the effect of increasing the amount of particulate matter 67 adhering near the edge 68 and extending the life of the polishing section 55. The tip surface 69
The maximum inclination angle is about 45 °, and if it exceeds this angle, the biting of the endless belt 4 is deteriorated and the grinding efficiency is deteriorated.

Inside the grinding wheel 50, fluid passages 58 are provided in the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion at regular intervals along the circumferential direction, but cap bodies 63, 63 are provided on both side portions of the wheel 50. By installing it, the above-mentioned fluid passage 5
8 communicates. An accommodating portion 70 into which the shaft 65 is fitted is provided inside the wheel 50. This housing part 70
The shaft 65 fitted in the plurality of fluid passages 59 supplies a cooling medium such as water into the grinding wheel 50 in the axial direction.
have. That is, the cooling medium is the inflow passage 5 of the shaft.
9 through the pipe 60 to the inlet 61, from the inlet 61 to the fluid passage 58, and after circulating in the grinding wheel 50, to the outlet (not shown) and from the outlet to the outlet passage in the shaft. It is discharged to the outside through 62. As a result, the cooling medium circulates in the grinding wheel 50 and cools the polishing section 55 that has generated heat during processing.

When the rotating grinding wheel 50 comes into contact with the running endless belt 4, the edge 68 to which the particulate matter 67 adheres and the polishing portion 55 having a short circumference bite into the endless belt 4 to cut it. After that, the slit portion 71 once releases the stress applied to the surface to be ground of the endless belt 4 and becomes a region for restoring the deformation, so that the rotational load at this time becomes small and the endless belt 4 does not generate much heat. The ground surface is processed again by the polishing section 55 without leaving any distortion, which enables highly accurate grinding. Therefore, the grinding wheel 50 has a low load and a high speed, and the endless belt 4 can be ground quickly and accurately.
It should be noted that the grinding wheel 50 can be attached to any device as long as it is a device that grinds groove portions on the ventral surface and the back surface of the endless belt 4, and is not limited to the processing device for the endless belt.

Hereinafter, based on the above configuration, endless
The operation of the belt processing apparatus 1 will be described. First, the auxiliary shaft roll 3 is brought closer to the main shaft roll 2 side by the operation of the tension cylinder 29, and the main shaft attaching / detaching member 12
Also, the counter shaft attaching / detaching member 16 is separated from the rolls 2 and 3 and swung.

Next, the endless belt 4 is hung on the main shaft roll 2 and the sub shaft roll 3, the main shaft attaching / detaching member 12 and the sub shaft attaching / detaching member 16 are rotated to the original state, and the rod 19 is moved to move each roll 2. 3 is supported and fixed. In this case, the cylinder portion 24 of the spindle detaching member 12 is brought into contact with the outer cylinder 35 fitted to the spindle roll 2, and the endless belt outer side 37 is brought into contact with the flange 36.

Then, the auxiliary shaft roll 3 is replaced by the main shaft roll 2
After a predetermined tension is applied to the endless belt 4 by moving the endless belt 4 in the direction of the arrow in the figure, the drive unit 31 is operated.

At this time, when the endless belt 4 is biased toward the fixed flange 36 side, the outer cylinder 35 moves to the opposite side against this bias, so that the force pressing the fixed flange 36 of the endless belt 4 is a constant value. Therefore, the belt travels with a substantially constant belt travel line secured. At the same time, the belt processing unit 40 is operated to polish the back surface of the endless belt 4.

The direction in which the endless belt 4 is biased largely depends on the winding direction of the core wire. Therefore, the belt 4 must be installed on the roll so as to be biased toward the flange 36 side. Therefore, it is necessary to mark one of the side walls of the endless belt or to make a judgment based on the state of the cut surface.

When the endless belt 4 is taken out from the main shaft roll 2 and the sub shaft roll 3, especially when the main shaft roll 2 and the main shaft attaching / detaching member 12 are separated from each other, as shown in FIG. Rod 1
9 moves and separates from the spindle roll 2, and the tubular portion 24 also separates from the spindle roll 2.

As described above, in the apparatus for processing an endless belt of the present invention, the biasing force of the endless belt 4 is released and the traveling state is always maintained stably. It can be processed. Moreover, the grinding wheel 5 used for the belt processing unit 40
No. 0 grinds at the edge of the polishing section and its vicinity, so that the polishing section 55 can be made short, the endless belt 4 can be ground with a small rotation load, and the heat generation of the belt can be suppressed. It is characterized in that the endless belt 4 can be processed into V-grooves accurately by rotating.

[0040]

As described above, in the apparatus for processing an endless belt according to the present invention, at least one of the above-mentioned rolls is run under a predetermined tension by hanging a belt sleeve on at least a main shaft roll and a sub-shaft roll. An outer cylinder that rotates together with and is movable in the axial direction is fitted, and at least one rotatable flange is arranged on the moving side of the endless belt. Even if the belt tries to deviate during traveling, the belt presses the fixing flange, and this pressing force moves the spindle roll in the opposite direction due to the reaction of this pressing force, so this pressing force decreases, and the endless belt thrust force. Since it can be run with the belt running line being held accurately without being hit, the grinding of the back surface of the belt can be performed accurately. Ukoto has an excellent effect that can. Moreover, the grinding wheel grinds the endless belt at and near the edge of the grinding part, which makes it possible to shorten the length of the grinding part, reducing the rotation load of the grinding wheel and generating heat from the endless belt. It can be pressed and processed at high speed quickly and accurately.
