Description

  The present invention relates to a saw chain sharpening machine that rotates a round bar-shaped grinding tool attached to the tip of an electric motor and sharpens the edge of a cutter blade of the saw chain on its side.

As a conventional technique of a saw chain sharpener, for example, an upper blade grinding apparatus for a chain saw described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-2412 can be cited. This grinding apparatus includes a holder 9 made of a small motor, a rod grindstone 11 that can be rotated by a motor attached to a chuck 10 at the tip of the holder 9, an annulus 14 that is attached to an attachment portion 12 at the tip of the holder 9, A holding body 13 having an abutment plate 16 extending in parallel with the grindstone 11 at both ends of the stone 11 from the ring body portion 14, and fixed to a distal end portion of the abutment plate of the holding body 13 by a stopper 15, 11 and a grindstone holder 19 having a holding rod 20 which is fixed on the same axis as that which is ground at a free position.
The chain saw upper blade grinding apparatus is used by holding the holder 9 by hand, rotating the rod-shaped grindstone 11 by driving a motor, attaching the abutment plate 18 of the holding body 13 on the chain main body 1, and cutting the cutter blade link 2. After the holding bar 20 is applied to the upper bar 8 and the upper bar 8 to determine the sharpening angle, the entire apparatus is moved forward along the sharpening angle by grinding with the rotating bar-shaped grindstone 11. This is performed by the procedure of sharpening the front end and the upper blade 8.

Another known technique is a saw chain sharpener that does not require a grinding tool as described in JP-A-57-186227. This sharpening machine has a cylindrical stone (grindstone) 3 attached to the front end of the drive shaft of the motor 2, and has a substantially pentagonal shape in plan view at the front lower part of the motor 2. An angle adjusting plate 1 having a front plate portion formed by bending is attached, and a depth adjusting plate 6 is pivotally supported at the front end of each front plate portion of the angle adjusting plate 1 so as to freely adjust in the vertical direction. It is composed of things.
The use of this sharpening machine is to rotate the stone 3 with a motor and place one of the front surfaces of the angle adjusting plate 1 along the side of the saw chain, and set the direction of the stone 3 to the sharpening angle of the upper blade. And adjusting the height of the added adjusting plate 6 by placing the lower surface of the depth adjusting plate 6 against the upper end of the saw chain, setting the stone 3 to the optimum height for sharpening, It is performed by the procedure of sharpening by grinding.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-2412 JP-A-57-186227

However, the above-described grinding apparatus and sharpening machine are used by holding the holder or the motor 2 by hand and placing the contact plate 16 or the angle adjusting plate 1 on the saw chain. Although holding the 2 itself with the hand itself tends to become unstable, there is no support, and simply placing the abutment plate 16 and the angle adjusting plate 1 on the saw chain will change the posture of the grinding device and the sharpening machine. There was a problem that it was insufficient for stabilization.
For this reason, conventionally, there is a problem that it is difficult to make high-precision sharpening or sharpening that matches the sharpening angle, the hands get tired, and the working efficiency gradually decreases.

  The present invention stabilizes the sharpening posture by sandwiching both ends of the saw chain with the holding plate supported in front of the handy type electric motor for the sharpening work of the blade of the cutter blade constituting a part of the saw chain. To provide a saw chain sharpening machine that efficiently rotates a round bar shaped grinding tool attached to the tip of an electric motor or a round bar shaped stone and a grinding tool such as a stone so that the side of the saw chain is sharpened. Thus, the above-mentioned problem that the conventional technology has is solved.

  The saw chain sharpener according to the present invention that achieves the above-mentioned problems is a support member from the sharpener main body in which a round shaft-shaped grinding tool for grinding is attached to the front end of a drive shaft of a handy type electric motor. The mounting plate attached to the front end of the support member or the front end of the support member has a shape capable of straddling the upper part of the saw chain and has an opening through which a grinding point can be seen from above. A holding plate formed long in the direction along the chain is supported so as to be horizontally rotatable so that the holding plate has a certain width and is aligned with the sharpening angle of the cutter blade located at the left and right portions of the saw chain. Alternatively, the mounting plate is provided with a protrusion for fixing the blade edge and determining an accurate blade edge angle.

The sharpening by the sharpener of the present invention is performed by first rotating the holding plate horizontally with respect to the sharpener body to a regulated position in either the left or right direction so as to match the sharpening angle of the cutter blade of the saw chain. Then, the holding plate is straddled on the upper part of the saw chain from above (it is placed from above) and aligned so that the sharpened upper blade of the cutter blade of the saw chain can be seen from above the opening of the holding plate, Keep the side of the grinding tool along the sharpening angle of the upper blade, apply a force to the holding plate in the horizontal direction, and secure the position, posture and orientation of the setting machine by sandwiching the saw chain between the front and back surfaces of the holding plate In this state, the side portion of the grinding tool rotated at high speed by the electric motor is ground along the cutting edge of the cutter blade.
The cutting edge referred to here refers to a combination of the cutting edge at the front edge of the upper cutting edge and the cutting edge formed at the trailing edge of the curved portion.
As the electric motor, one driven by a household AC power source or a secondary battery is used. The grinding tool is a round bar-shaped file attached to the tip of an electric motor, or a tool with particles such as a grindstone fixed around a metal shaft. This is done by contacting the blade edge.

When sharpening is performed, the holding plate is in a state of being horizontally rotated to a stop position where horizontal rotation is restricted with respect to the main body of the dressing machine. In this way, the sharpener can be stabilized. In particular, in the present invention, since the left and right holding plates are used, there is little blurring of the sharpening machine at the time of sharpening, and the alignment error between the sharpening angle and the edge angle is reduced. For this reason, an accurate sharpening angle can be secured. And when sharpening, the side edge of the protrusion provided on the front end of the support member or the mounting plate attached to the front end is sharpened according to the edge angle of the cutter blade. A sharpening work is possible.
The holding plate is optimally supported by a mounting plate attached to the tip of the support member so as to be able to rotate horizontally, but the tip of the support member is bent sideways, and this bent portion is The holding plate may be attached to be horizontally rotatable. For this reason, the said protrusion part is provided toward the position with the exact positional relationship which performs the sharpening along the side edge of a grinding tool from the front-end | tip of a mounting plate or a supporting member.

According to the saw chain sharpener according to the present invention, high-quality sharpening can be achieved using a handy type electric motor. In particular, the holding motor is straddled on the upper part of the saw chain, and the electric motor held by hand is used. As a result of turning in the horizontal direction of either the left or right side and setting the posture with the both sides of the saw chain sandwiched between the front and back surfaces of the holding plate, the posture of the overall setting machine is stabilized and there is almost no blur Now you can make a notice.
In addition, in correspondence with the direction of the sharpening angle of the left and right cutter blades being symmetrical, just by turning the holding plate to the left or right width direction to the sharpener body, It became possible to cope with polishing and grinding, that is, sharpening.
Furthermore, for a structure in which a mounting plate is mounted on the front end portion of the support plate or on the front end portion of the support plate, a protrusion for fixing the blade edge and determining an accurate blade edge angle is provided on this mounting plate. As a result, a fine adjustment operation for adjusting the side edge of the protruding portion to the sharpening angle of the cutter blade can be performed. As a result, the cutter blade can be sharpened more accurately.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention has the following basic structure.
{Circle around (1)} A sharpening machine main body is configured by attaching a grinding tool having a round shaft shape for grinding to the tip of a drive shaft of a handy type electric motor.
(2) A support member is projected from the front side of the electric motor toward the front.
(3) A holding plate is formed in the lower part of the front end of the support member so as to be able to straddle the upper part of the saw chain, and an opening in which the grinding point can be seen from above is formed in the center. It is supported horizontally and freely rotatable.
(4) When the holding plate is horizontally rotated to the full width and set on the saw chain, the grinding tool is oriented to match the sharpening angle of either the left or right cutter blade of the saw chain.
(5) The front end of the support member or a mounting plate attached to the front end is provided with a protrusion having an accurate positional relationship with the grinding tool.

1 is a perspective view of a saw chain sharpener according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 (a) is a plan view showing the main part thereof, and FIG. 3 (b) is a bottom view showing the main part. (A) shows the dressing machine of Example 1 by side sectional drawing, (b) has shown the holding | maintenance board by side sectional drawing.
The sharpening machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in each of these figures is a round bar-like shape using a chuck 3 at the tip of a drive shaft of a handy type electric motor 2 driven by a household AC power source corresponding to each country and each region. A sharpening machine main body 1a to which the grinding tool 4 is attached, a holding plate 5 for fixing the sharpening machine main body 1a to the saw chain side, and a support member 6 for connecting the electric motor 2 and the holding plate 5 so as to be horizontally rotatable are provided. ing.
The support member 6 includes an annular thick base portion 7 fixed to the front portion 2 b of the case portion 2 a of the electric motor 2, a rod 8 projecting forward from the upper portion of the front surface of the base portion 7, and a tip portion of the rod 8. A mounting plate 9 that is projected and fixed at the front position of the grinding tool 4 is assembled and integrated, and a narrow-shaped protruding portion 9a protrudes rearward from a substantially central portion of the rear end of the mounting plate 9. The projecting portion 9a has one side edge at a position that is aligned with an accurate sharpening angle along the side edge of the grinding tool 4.
The mounting plate surface 52a of the holding plate 5 is fastened to the lower surface of the mounting plate 9 with screws 10 so that the entire holding plate 5 is supported with a certain width so as to be horizontally rotatable.
The holding plate 5 includes an upright plate surface 51 having a long left and right shape, an upper plate surface 52 formed by bending the upper end of the upright plate surface 51 in a direction perpendicular to the front, and the left and right sides of the upper plate surface 5 at the left and right sides. Opposite standing plate surfaces 53L and 53R formed by bending a part downward, and the upper plate surface 52 is a standing portion for holding the holding plate 5 on the side portion on the other side of the saw chain. And the lower surface 51a along the standing board surface 51 is a surface which makes a level | step difference slightly ahead, and is along the near side part of a saw chain. In addition, a space 54 that is retreated to the near side of the U-shaped side view located above is a refuge for a portion 14c that slightly swells outside the upper blade 14a of the cutter blade 14.
A central portion of the upper plate surface 52 is a mounting plate surface 52a having a substantially chevron shape and protrudes forward, and the cutter blade 14 can be seen from above in front of the central surface of the mounting plate surface 52a. An opening 55 for this purpose is formed.
A projection 19a made of a shaft of a screw 19 is protruded and fixed downward at a front portion of the screwed portion of the mounting plate 9, and this projection 19a is the tip of the mounting plate surface 52a of the holding plate 5. It protrudes into an arc-shaped cutout 52b formed in the shape. The length (constant width) of the cutout 52b in the arc direction is such that the sharpening machine main body 1a is rotated in either the left or right direction while the holding plate 5 is straddled over the upper part of the saw chain, and the cutting edges of the left and right cutter blades. The projection 19a moves in the notch 52b as the dressing machine main body 1a rotates left and right. Both sides of the notch 52b function as a stopper that restricts the movement of the protrusion 19a, and when the protrusion 19a contacts the stopper, the direction of the grinding tool 4 coincides with the sharpening angle.
Most of the grinding tool 4 protrudes horizontally from the front side of the holding plate 5 into the front opening 55 (with respect to the upper plate surface 52), and when the holding plate 5 is fitted into the saw chain. Further, the side portion of the holding plate 5 has a height at which the sharpness of the cutter blade of the saw chain can be projected. The protruding portion 9 a is positioned on the upper right side along the vicinity of the grinding tool 5 in the opening 55 so that the height thereof matches the upper plate surface 52 of the holding plate 5.
The sharpening angles of the left and right cutter blades are symmetrical, and the cutting angle is also symmetrical. As described above, the dressing machine 1 according to the first embodiment is configured so that the dressing machine main body 1a can be turned around in either the left or right direction even with respect to the difference in direction. Each of FIGS. 4 and 5 shows the state of use in a plan view.

FIG. 4A is a plan view showing a state in which the dressing machine main body 1a is turned in one direction in the horizontal rotation direction, FIG. 4B is a plan view showing a main part in the use state, and FIG. It is the simplified sectional view showing the state where the grinding tool turned horizontally and turned to the blade tip of a saw chain.
When sharpening the cutter blade 14R on the front side, hold the case portion 2a of the electric motor 2 by hand and hold the holding plate 5 from the direction shown in each drawing of FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. In this orientation, the holding plate 5 is fitted from above the saw chain 11 and placed on the saw chain 11, and is aligned from above the opening 55 to the sharpening angle of the cutting edge 14e of the upper blade 14a. Then, the sharpener main body 1a is rotated in the direction of the arrow (A) until the projection 19a contacts one end of the notch 52b.
In this way, a force in the horizontal rotation direction is applied to the holding plate 5, and both sides of the saw chain 11 are sandwiched between the lower surface 51a of the standing plate surface 51 of the holding plate 5 and the opposed standing plate surface 53L, The holding plate 5 can be fixed to the saw chain 11. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), the height of the side portion of the grinding tool 5 is in accordance with the grinding angle of the cutting edges 14e and 14f of the cutter blade 14R. Can be set to grind the cutting edges 14e and 14f at the side of the grinding tool 4 rotating at high speed.

FIG. 5A is a plan view showing a state in which the dressing machine main body 1a is turned in the other direction, and FIG. 5B is a plan view showing a main part in the use state.
As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, when sharpening the cutter blade 14L on the other side (left side when viewed from the saw chain side), the holding plate 5 is moved to the arrow ( In this direction, the holding plate 5 is fitted from above the saw chain 11 and placed on the saw chain 11. Thereafter, it is sharpened by the same sharpening method described above with reference to FIG. When the left and right cutting edges of the saw chain 11 are alternately set, the holding plate 5 fitted on the saw chain 11 is slightly lifted, and the upper blade 14a of the cutter blade 14L is opened from above the opening 55 in the center of the holding plate 5. The position of the holding plate 5 is shifted to a position where it can be seen, the holding plate 5 is placed on the saw chain 11 at this position, and the sharpener main body 1a is moved until the projection 19a contacts the other end of the notch 52b. Operate in the (B) direction.
In this way, a force in the same direction is applied to the holding plate 5, and the grinding tool 4 can be directed in a direction that is bilaterally symmetrical with the direction shown in FIGS. The side of the grinding tool 4 is brought into contact with the cutting edges 14e and 14f of the cutter blade 4 to make sharpening for grinding.
The sharpening operation may be performed alternately on the left and right cutter blades 14L, 14R, or may be performed on either the left or right cutter blade 14L (14R).
The sharpening is performed by bringing the grinding tool 4 that rotates at a high speed into contact with the cutting edges 14e and 14f of the cutter blade 14, and thus the upper blade 14d is liable to be chattered or shaken. However, the protruding portion 9a holds the cutter blade 14 from above. As a result, chattering and blurring of the upper blade 14d are almost prevented.
The projecting portion 9a also has a function of catching sparks and metal powders generated by grinding and splashing upward, so as to improve workability and safety.

As shown in FIG. 6, the magnifying lens 17 is attached to the base 7 of the support member 6 attached to the distal end portion of the electric motor 2 via a mounting arm 18 so as to be detachable and laterally movable. Providing the magnifying lens 17 in this way makes it possible to stand out while magnifying the cutting edge.

  The saw chain sharpener according to the present invention sharpens the blade edge of the saw chain provided on the chain saw by grinding or grinding. It is small and easy to use, and the direction of the electric motor held by one hand can be either left or right. The structure is such that the left and right blades of the saw chain can be polished by simply changing the direction in the horizontal direction, the positioning angle can be easily determined, and blurring does not easily occur during the polishing operation. For this reason, not only a skilled person but also a person who does not have a sharpening experience can make a good sharpening, and not only new demand but also replacement by purchase from a conventional product can be expected.
