Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plate deburring method and a device therefor that can deburr automatically and positively without flawing a product. SOLUTION: A box 3 is vibrated by a vibration imparting device 13 to relatively vibrate a large number of deburring granular media 7 in the box 3 along the surface of a plate W to be deburred, thus eliminating burrs on the plate W. The deburring granular media 7 agitated by agitating members 5 at the time of the box 3 being vibrated remote the burrs on the plate W. The plate W is deburred in the state of being held in the deburring granular media 7, contained in the box 3, by a support member 19. The plate W is not flawed since deburring is performed by the unedged hard deburring granular media 7.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a plate material deburring apparatus 1 according to the present invention. FIG.
2 and FIG. 2, a mesh member or a lattice member 5 is laid on the bottom of the box 3 as a stirring member.
As the lattice-shaped member 5, for example, each of the constituent members may be about 6 mm and the gap may be about 20 mm square.

A large number of ceramic balls 7 serving as granular media for deburring are accommodated in the box 3 in such a manner that they can move freely. The ceramic ball 7 has a shape having no edges such as a spherical shape, an oval shape, or an elliptical flat shape having a diameter of about 1 mm to 6 mm. Also,
The box 3 has a depth of, for example, 75 mm to 100 mm.
mm is used.

Below the box 3, there are provided wheels 11 which are movably supported along the guide rails 9. Further, on the side surface (the left side surface in FIGS. 1 and 2) of the box 3, as a vibration applying device for vibrating the box 3 right and left (left and right in FIGS. 1 and 2) along the guide rail 9, for example, A crank mechanism 13, a drive motor 15 for driving the crank mechanism 13, and a driving force transmission device 17 are provided.

The crank mechanism 13 is provided, for example, so that the box 3 has an amplitude of about 10 mm to 30 mm and a frequency of 37 mm.
One that vibrates in the horizontal direction in FIG. 1 at about 00 spm can be used. Alternatively, an ultrasonic vibration device, a fluid cylinder, or the like may be used instead of the crank mechanism 13 or the like.

Further, a support member 19 for supporting the plate material W for deburring from above is provided, and the plate material W is supported inside the ceramic ball 7. The support member 19 is attached to the box 3
It may be one that vibrates integrally with the box 3 or one that is provided separately from the box 3 and does not vibrate.

Accordingly, when performing deburring, the plate material W to be deburred is held inside the ceramic balls 7 in the box 3 by the support member 19, and the box 3 is driven by the drive motor 15 via the crank mechanism 13. Vibrate left and right.

At this time, the ceramic ball 7 having high hardness is used.
Penetrates into the notch of the plate material W, and hits the burr on the plate material W to remove the burr from all directions. It has been experimentally confirmed that the deburring operation is more efficiently performed when the ceramic ball 7 is wet.

Alternatively, although not shown, the support member 19 may be moved up and down by a fluid cylinder. Further, the box 3 may be vibrated while the worker holds the box by hand, or the worker may be moved up and down.

Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the plate material W is not supported by the support member 19 as described above, but the plate material W is placed on the ceramic ball 7 as shown in FIGS. Alternatively, even when the box 3 is left inside, the deburring operation is performed by vibrating the box 3 so that the deburring surface of the plate material W is oriented in the vibration direction of the box 3 as shown in FIG. Done.

From the above results, since the ceramic ball 7, which is the granular media for deburring, is a hard granular material without edges, it is possible to automatically and reliably remove burrs without damaging the product.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment.
In the plate material deburring apparatus 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the box 3 is vibrated in the horizontal direction while the plate material W is supported by the support member 19. As shown in FIG. 7, a robot 23 suspends a plate W as a support member, and the robot 23, which is also a vibration imparting device, moves the plate W up and down in the ceramic ball 7.

At this time, the product shelf 2 is located near the robot 23.
If 5 is provided, the plate material W can be automatically deburred by the robot 23 one after another.

FIGS. 7 and 8 show another embodiment. In the plate material deburring device 27 shown in FIG. 7, a support member 29 is provided with a suction pad 31, and the plate material W sucked by the suction pad 31 is pressed against the ceramic ball 7 by a spring 33. By vibrating 29, burrs mainly on the lower surface of the plate material W are removed.

Referring to FIG. 8, in the plate material deburring device 37 in this case, instead of the plate 35 being vibrated by the cylinder 35 in the plate material deburring device 27 shown in FIG. 41 is caused to vibrate.

As described above, the plate material deburring devices 27 and 37 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 can also automatically perform deburring in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be embodied in other modes by making appropriate changes. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the ceramic balls 7 are used as the granular media for deburring, but other media such as alumina and the like, which are hard and have no edges such as spheres and ellipses, can be used.

The wheels 11 are provided below the box 3 and are supported on the guide rails 9 so as to be able to vibrate freely. However, the present invention is not limited to this structure, and any structure may be used as long as the box 3 is allowed to vibrate and supported. .

[0033]

As described above, in the plate material deburring method according to the first aspect of the present invention, the box is vibrated,
By relatively vibrating the deburring granular media stored inside along the surface of the plate material that removes the burrs,
Since the burrs on the plate material are removed, the burrs can be automatically and reliably removed.

[0034] In the plate material deburring device according to the second aspect of the present invention, the vibration applying device vibrates the box to relatively vibrate the deburring granular media inside the box along the surface of the plate material from which the deburring is performed. As a result, burrs on the plate material are removed, so that the burrs can be automatically and reliably removed.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the box is vibrated, the deburring granular media stirred by the stirring member provided at the bottom of the box is attached to the plate. Is removed, so that the plate material can be efficiently deburred.

In the plate material deburring device according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the plate material is deburred while holding the plate material in the deburring granular media contained in the box by the support member, so that the plate material can be easily taken in and out. Become.

In the plate material deburring apparatus according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the hard deburring granular media having no edges removes burrs, so that the plate material is not damaged.
