Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は板状体の加工装置に係り、特にガラス板（板状体）の周縁部を面取り加工する板状体の加工装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
ガラス板の面取り装置は、ガラス板の保持部、面取り用砥石（加工手段に相当）と加工液噴射ノズル（加工液供給手段に相当）とを備えた加工部、及び加工部をガラス板の周縁に沿って移動させる駆動部から構成されている。
斯かる面取り装置によれば、ガラス板を固定部に固定した後、加工部を駆動部で移動させることにより、加工部の砥石によってガラス板の周縁部を面取り加工する。
【０００３】
ところで、従来の面取り装置には、ノズルから噴射された加工液（冷却液、切削液等の加工液）が飛散しないように、その加工液を吸引する吸引装置が設けられている。この吸引装置は、吸引ポンプに連結されたフレキシブルダクト（管に相当）の吸引口を加工部に固定し、吸引ポンプを駆動させることにより、加工液をフレキシブルダクトを介して外部に排出していた。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来のガラス板の面取り装置は、吸引装置にフレキシブルダクトを適用しているので、フレキシブルダクトが緩んで垂れ下がると、見映えが悪くなるばかりでなく作業の邪魔になるという欠点があった。
このような不具合は、フレキシブルダクトを天井等から吊り下げ支持することによって解消できる。しかし、これでは吸引ポンプの能力を上げなければならず、吸引装置のランニングコストが増大するという欠点がある。
【０００５】
本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、加工液の吸引用管を改善することにより、管の垂れ下がりを防止するとともに、加工液の排出に費やすランニングコストを削減できる板状体の加工装置を提供することを目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、前記目的を達成するために、板状体が着脱自在に保持される保持部と、板状体の加工手段と該加工手段に加工液を供給する加工液供給手段とを備えた加工部と、該加工部を前記保持部に保持された板状体に対して移動させる駆動部とを備えた板状体の加工装置において、前記駆動部は、前記加工部に取り付けられるとともに、前記加工液供給手段から供給された加工液の飛散を防止するカバーを備えた加工部保持部材と、前記加工部保持部材の前記カバーに形成された開口部に、その先端部が連結された第１の管と、前記加工部の移動方向に沿って配設されるとともに、該移動方向に沿ってスリットが形成された第２の管と、前記第２の管の前記スリットを被覆するとともに、その開口部に前記第１の管の基端部が連結された帯状材と、前記帯状材を前記スリットに沿って移動させる移動手段と、前記第２の管に連結された吸引手段と、から構成され、前記移動手段によって前記帯状材を移動させることにより、該帯状材、第１の管、及び加工部保持部材を介して前記加工部を移動させるとともに、前記吸引手段を駆動させることにより、加工液供給手段から供給された加工液を前記カバー、第１の管、及び第２の管を介して吸引し、外部に排出することを特徴としている。
本発明は、前記目的を達成するために、板状体が着脱自在に保持される保持部と、板状体の加工手段と該加工手段に加工液を供給する加工液供給手段とを備えた加工部と、該加工部を前記保持部に保持された板状体に対して移動させる駆動部とを備えた板状体の加工装置において、前記駆動部は、前記加工部に取り付けられるとともに、前記加工液供給手段から供給された加工液の飛散を防止するカバーを備えた加工部保持部材と、前記加工部保持部材の前記カバーに形成された開口部に、その先端部が連結された第１の管と、前記加工部の移動方向に沿って配設されるとともに、該移動方向に沿ってスリットが形成された第２の管と、前記第２の管の前記スリットを被覆するとともに、その開口部に前記第１の管の基端部が連結された第１の帯状材と、前記第１の帯状材を前記スリットに沿って移動させる第１の移動手段と、前記加工部の移動方向に沿って配設されるとともに、前記第２の管の配設方向とは異なる方向に沿って配設され、その移動方向に沿ってスリットが形成された第３の管と、前記第３の管の前記スリットを被覆するとともに、その開口部に連結管を介して前記第２の管と連結された第２の帯状材と、前記第２の帯状材を前記スリットに沿って移動させる第２の移動手段と、前記第３の管に連結された吸引手段と、から構成され、前記第１又は第２の移動手段によって前記第１又は第２の帯状材を移動させることにより前記加工部を移動させるとともに、前記吸引手段を駆動させることにより、加工液供給手段から供給された加工液を前記カバー、第１の管、第２の管、連結管、及び第３の管を介して吸引し、外部に排出することを特徴としている。
また、本発明は、前記目的を達成するために、板状体が着脱自在に保持される保持部と、板状体の加工手段と該加工手段に加工液を供給する加工液供給手段とを備えた加工部と、該加工部を前記保持部に保持された板状体に対して移動させる駆動部とを備えるとともに、前記駆動部は、前記加工部に取り付けられるとともに、前記加工液供給手段から供給された加工液の飛散を防止するカバーを備えた加工部保持部材と、前記加工部保持部材の前記カバーに形成された開口部に、その先端部が連結された第１の管と、前記加工部の移動方向に沿って配設されるとともに、該移動方向に沿ってスリットが形成された第２の管と、前記第２の管の前記スリットを被覆するとともに、その開口部に前記第１の管の基端部が連結された帯状材と、前記帯状材を前記スリットに沿って移動させる移動手段と、前記第２の管に連結された吸引手段とから構成された板状体の加工装置における加工方法において、前記移動手段によって前記帯状材を移動させることにより、該帯状材、第１の管、及び加工部保持部材を介して前記加工部を移動させながら、該加工部により前記板状体を加工し、前記吸引手段を駆動させることにより、加工液供給手段から供給された加工液を前記カバー、第１の管、及び第２の管を介して吸引して外部に排出しながら前記板状体を加工することを特徴としている。
本発明は、前記目的を達成するために、板状体が着脱自在に保持される保持部と、板状体の加工手段と該加工手段に加工液を供給する加工液供給手段とを備えた加工部と、該加工部を前記保持部に保持された板状体に対して移動させる駆動部とを備えるとともに、前記駆動部は、前記加工部に取り付けられるとともに、前記加工液供給手段から供給された加工液の飛散を防止するカバーを備えた加工部保持部材と、前記加工部保持部材の前記カバーに形成された開口部に、その先端部が連結された第１の管と、前記加工部の移動方向に沿って配設されるとともに、該移動方向に沿ってスリットが形成された第２の管と、前記第２の管の前記スリットを被覆するとともに、その開口部に前記第１の管の基端部が連結された第１の帯状材と、前記第１の帯状材を前記スリットに沿って移動させる第１の移動手段と、前記加工部の移動方向に沿って配設されるとともに、前記第２の管の配設方向とは異なる方向に沿って配設され、その移動方向に沿ってスリットが形成された第３の管と、前記第３の管の前記スリットを被覆するとともに、その開口部に連結管を介して前記第２の管と連結された第２の帯状材と、前記第２の帯状材を前記スリットに沿って移動させる第２の移動手段と、前記第３の管に連結された吸引手段とから構成された板状体の加工装置における加工方法において、前記第１又は第２の移動手段によって前記第１又は第２の帯状材を移動させることにより前記加工部を移動させるとともに、前記吸引手段を駆動させることにより、加工液供給手段から供給された加工液を前記カバー、第１の管、第２の管、連結管、及び第３の管を介して吸引し、外部に排出しながら前記板状体を加工することを特徴としている。
【０００７】
本発明によれば、移動手段によって帯状材を移動させると、この動力が第１の管、及び加工部保持材を介して加工部に伝達されるので、加工部を板状体の加工方向に沿って移動させることができる。また、加工中に加工液供給手段から噴射された加工液は、カバー、第１の管、及び第２の管を介して吸引手段で吸引され、外部に排出される。即ち、本発明は、加工部の移動ガイド部材である第２の管を、加工液の排出用管として兼用したので、加工部をどの方向に移動させても第２の管が垂れ下がることはない。これにより、管を吊り下げて配置する必要がないので、加工液の吸引に費やすランニングコストを削減することができる。
【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下添付図面に従って本発明に係る板状体の加工装置の好ましい実施の形態について詳説する。
図１は、本発明の板状体の加工装置が適用されたガラス板Ｇの面取り装置１０を示す平面図であり、図２は面取り装置１０の要部断面図である。図１、図２に示す面取り装置１０は、主として基台（保持部に相当）１２、面取り用砥石１４と加工液噴射ノズル１６とを有する加工部１８、駆動機構（駆動部に相当）２０、及び吸引ポンプ（吸引手段に相当）２２から構成されている。
【０００９】
前記基台１２には、面取り対象のガラス板Ｇを着脱自在に保持するテーブル（不図示）が設けられ、このテーブル上に前記ガラス板Ｇが位置ズレすることなく保持される。
前記面取り用砥石１４は図２に示すように、モータ２４のスピンドル２６に固定されている。このモータ２４は、フレーム２８の下面に下向きに固定されている。
【００１０】
前記フレーム２８は、加工部１８を構成する環状のハウジング３０の上面に配設された環状レール３２にガイドブロック３４を介して係合され、この環状レール３２に沿って回動されることにより、図２上一点鎖線で示す回転軸Ａを中心に回動される。前記回転軸Ａと、前記モータ２４のスピンドル２６の回転軸Ｂとは離間した位置にあり、したがって、フレーム２８が回転軸Ａを中心に回動されると、スピンドル２６に固定された砥石１４が回転軸Ａを中心に偏心回動され、その姿勢が変更される。この姿勢変更動作は、図１に示すガラス板Ｇのコーナー部Ｃを面取り加工する際に行われる。
【００１１】
また、前記ハウジング３０は、加工部１８の本体（加工部保持部材）１８Ａに固定され、この本体１８Ａを貫通して前記モータ２４が配置されている。前記本体１８Ａの内側には、ギア３６が設けられている。このギア３６は、前記回転軸Ａを中心とした円弧状に形成され、このギア３６にモータ３８のスピンドル４０に連結されたギア４２が噛合されている。また、前記モータ３８は、モータ２４と同様にフレーム２８の下面に下向きに固定されている。したがって、前記モータ３８が駆動されると、その動力がモータ３８からフレーム２８に伝達されるので、前記フレーム２８が回転軸Ａを中心に回動される。
【００１２】
ところで、前記砥石１４とノズル１６は、加工部１８の本体１８Ａに固定されたカバー４４に包囲され、このカバー４４によって切削粉や加工液の飛散が防止されている。また、前記カバー４４には上ブラシ８０と下ブラシ８２とが取り付けられ、このブラシ８０、８２の間の隙間８４を介してガラス板Ｇの周縁部が挿入され、面取り加工される。更に、前記カバー４４には開口部４５が形成され、開口部４５には、略Ｌ字状に形成されたダクト（第１の管に相当）４６の先端部が連結されている。
【００１３】
一方、図１に示すように、前記加工部１８のＹ方向の移動方向には、そのＹ方向に沿ってダクト（第２の管）４８が配設されている。このダクト４８は図３に示すように角筒状に形成され、その上面にスリット５０がダクト４８に沿って形成されている。前記スリット５０には、このスリット５０を閉塞するゴムベルト（帯状材に相当）５２が配設されている。このベルト５２は、図１、図２に示す駆動ローラ５４と、図１、図３に示す従動ローラ５６とによって張設され、駆動ローラ５４の動力が伝達されることにより、ダクト４８の周りを周回移動されるように配設されている。また、ベルト５２は、その両端部が連結板５８にビス５９で連結されて無端状に形成され、この連結板５８に形成された開口部（帯状材の開口部に相当）６０に前記ダクト４６の基端部が連結されている。この連結構成によって、図２のカバー４４で囲まれた加工空間６１が、ダクト４６を介してダクト４８に連通される。
【００１４】
図１に示すように、前記加工部１８のＸ方向の移動方向には、Ｘ方向に沿ってダクト６２が配設されている。前記ダクト６２は角筒状に形成され、その上面にスリット（不図示）がダクト６２に沿って形成されている。前記スリットには、このスリットを閉塞するゴムベルト６４が配設されている。ベルト６４は、駆動ローラ６６と従動ローラ６８とによって張設され、駆動ローラ６６の動力が伝達されることにより、ダクト６２の周りを周回移動されるように配設されている。また、ベルト６４は、その両端部が連結板７０に連結されて無端状に形成されている。
【００１５】
前記連結板７０には図２に示すように開口部７２が形成され、この開口部７２に連結ダクト７４の基端部７４Ａが連結されると共に、連結ダクト７４の先端部が７４Ｂが前記ダクト４８に連結されている。また、前記ダクト６２は図１に示すようにダクト７６を介して吸引ポンプ２２に連結されている。したがって、このようなダクトの連結構成によって、図２のカバー４４で囲まれた加工空間６１が、５本のダクト４６、４８、７４、６２、７６を介して吸引ポンプ２２に連通されている。
【００１６】
次に、前記の如く構成されたガラス板Ｇの面取り装置１０の作用について説明する。
まず、駆動機構２０を構成するベルト５２、６４を駆動ローラ５４、６６で移動させて、加工部１８を図１上実線で示す加工開始位置に位置させる。この時、ガラス板Ｇの周縁部が砥石１４に当接される。
【００１７】
次に、加工部１８によるガラス板Ｇの面取りを開始する。即ち、加工部１８の砥石１４を回転させるとともに、ノズル１６から加工液を噴射し、そして、前記ベルト６４のみを移動させて、加工部１８をダクト４８と一緒にＸ方向に移動させる。これにより、ガラス板Ｇの上辺の面取りが行われる。そして、砥石１４がガラス板Ｇの図１上左上コーナーＣに位置した時に、砥石１４を回転軸Ａ（図２参照）を中心に所定角度回動させ、そのコーナーＣの面取りをスムーズに行う。
【００１８】
次いで、ベルト６４の移動を停止するとともに、ベルト５２のみを移動させて、加工部１８をダクト４６と一緒にＹ方向に移動させる。これにより、ガラス板Ｇの左辺の面取りが行われる。そして、砥石１４がガラス板Ｇの図１上左下コーナーＣに位置した時に、砥石１４を回転軸Ａ（図２参照）を中心に所定角度回動させて、そのコーナーＣの面取りを行う。
【００１９】
次に、ベルト５２の移動を停止するとともに、ベルト６４を先とは逆方向に移動させて、加工部１８をダクト４８と一緒にＸ方向に移動させる。これにより、ガラス板Ｇの下辺の面取りが行われる。そして、砥石１４がガラス板Ｇの図１上右下コーナーＣに位置した時に、砥石１４を回転軸Ａ（図２参照）を中心に所定角度回動させて、そのコーナーＣの面取りを行う。
【００２０】
そして、ベルト６４の移動を停止するとともに、ベルト５２を先とは逆方向に移動させて、加工部１８をダクト４６と一緒にＹ方向に移動させる。これにより、ガラス板Ｇの右辺の面取りが行われる。そして、砥石１４がガラス板Ｇの図１上右上コーナーＣに位置した時に、砥石１４を回転軸Ａ（図２参照）を中心に所定角度回動させて、そのコーナーＣの面取りを行う。以上の動作によって、１枚のガラス板Ｇの面取り加工が終了する。
【００２１】
前記面取り加工時において、ノズル１６から噴射された加工液、及び切削粉はカバー４４、ダクト４６、４８、連結ダクト７４、ダクト６２、７４を介して吸引ポンプ２２で吸引され、外部に排出されている。
即ち、本実施の形態では、加工部１８の移動ガイド部材であるダクト４８、６２を、加工液の排出用ダクトとして兼用したので、加工部１８をＸ−Ｙのどの方向に移動させてもダクト４８、６２が垂れ下がることはない。これにより、ダクトを吊り下げて配置する必要がないので、加工液の吸引に費やすランニングコストを削減することができる。
【００２２】
なお、本実施の形態では、ベルト５２、６４としてゴム製のベルトを例示したが、これに限られるものではなく、ダクト４８、６２のスリットを閉塞できるものであれば、布製、又は樹脂製のベルトを適用してもよい。
また、本実施の形態では、Ｘ−Ｙの２軸移動機構について説明したが、これに限られるものではなく、１軸移動機構、及び３軸以上の移動機構にも、本発明を適用することができる。
【００２３】
更に、本実施の形態では、板状体の加工装置としてガラス板Ｇの面取り装置１０を例示したが、これに限られるものではなく、被加工材に対して移動される加工部であって加工液を供給しながら加工する加工部を有する加工装置であれば、本発明を適用することができる。
【００２４】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明に係る板状体の加工装置によれば、加工部の移動ガイド部材である第２の管を、加工液の排出用管として兼用したので、管の垂れ下がりを防止でき、これによって、加工液の排出に費やすランニングコストを削減することができる。

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A preferred embodiment of a plate-like body processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a chamfering device 10 for a glass sheet G to which a processing apparatus for a plate-like body of the present invention is applied, and FIG. 1 and 2 mainly includes a base (corresponding to a holding unit) 12, a processing unit 18 having a chamfering grindstone 14 and a machining fluid injection nozzle 16, a driving mechanism (corresponding to a driving unit) 20, And a suction pump (corresponding to suction means) 22.
[0009]
The base 12 is provided with a table (not shown) that detachably holds the glass plate G to be chamfered, and the glass plate G is held on the table without being displaced.
The chamfering grindstone 14 is fixed to a spindle 26 of a motor 24 as shown in FIG. The motor 24 is fixed downward on the lower surface of the frame 28.
