Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/550,620 filed on Aug. 26, 2019. The entire disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present disclosure relates to a polishing tool and, more particularly, to a cooling device for a rotating backing plate.
- Polishing machines and sanding machines are routinely used in the automotive detailing industry and home building industry to correct imperfections in the paint or drywall and to apply polishes and waxes. There are three primary machines used, including, rotary buffers, random orbital machines and dual action machines. Each tool has its place, as the matter in which the pad spins on each machine is unique and used for different purposes.
- Rotary buffers are the fastest and most effective machines for removing paint defects in a controlled manner with good results. The drive unit used in a rotary buffer is directly connected to the pad and each one is in axial alignment with each other. In order to correct paint scratches, the rotary buffer is commonly used to remove enough paint surrounding the scratch to make the surface level. Removing scratches, however, requires more skill and control of the machine than typical hobbyists possess. For this reason, rotary buffers are commonly avoid by average users as it is very easy to remove too much paint and damage the finish by causing swirl marks or by burning the paint.
- Random orbital machines were introduced in order to meet the needs of an average user as they require less experience and control to operate. A random orbital machine uses a gear case that employs two unique mechanisms that move a pad attached to a backing plate. Unlike a rotary buffer, random orbital machines place the central rotational axis of the pad in the backing plate offset from the driveshaft of the machine. This offset is commonly referred to as the stroke. As a result, the backing plate and pad orbit the drive shaft in a circular motion. At the same time, the pad randomly spins as it is mounted on an idler bearing. This random spinning varies with pressure applied on the pad and is not directly powered. The result is a polishing action that will not burn or cut through the paint as it will not produce the heat from a powered spinning action. Random orbital machines are therefore much safer and dramatically less likely to cause swirl or burns through paints.
- Similar to random orbital machines, dual action machines place the central rotation axis of the pad and the backing plate offset from the driveshaft. As a result of this stroke, the backing plate and pad orbit the driveshaft in a circular motion. However, with a dual action machine the spinning of the pad is directly powered. These machines all require a rotation of the pad.
- During all polishing operations, extreme levels of heat are generated possibly damaging the working surface and/or polishing equipment. The present device provides an improved cooling device for cooling the polishing pad and work surface. A fan assembly is generally connected with a backing plate to provide pressurized air through the backing plate which, in turn, passes air through the polishing pad to the work surface. Pressure in the assembly accelerates the air and pushes it through the backing and polishing pads to the work surface cooling the work surface.
- In accordance with the first embodiment, a cooling device for a rotating polishing disk comprises a housing coupled with a backing plate. A hub is positioned on the backing plate to secure the cooling device with a shaft. The backing plate includes one or more vents to enable air to exit the cooling device. The housing includes a shroud with an opening to enable air to enter the cooling device. A separating plate is positioned between the shroud and the backing plate. A plurality of vanes are positioned between the shroud and the separating plate. The plurality of vanes draw air into the cooling device. A pressurized chamber is formed between the separating plate and the backing plate. During rotation, air is drawn in through the shroud opening by the plurality of vanes. Air is passed into the pressurized chamber and out through the vents to cool a working pad, attached to the backing plate, as well as the work surface. The hub projects through an aperture in the separating plate. The plurality of vanes are shaped as airfoils. The vanes have a rounded leading edge and a sharp trailing edge. Each vane extends from the shroud opening to a periphery of the separator plate. A gap is formed between a periphery of the separator plate and the shroud. A plurality of vents is in the backing plate. A foam pad is attached to the backing plate. Fasteners are on the form pad to secure the working pad. The housing is a one piece construction.
- According to a second embodiment, a rotating polishing machine comprises a housing with a handle on the housing. A motor is positioned inside the housing. A rotating shaft extends from the motor. A backing plate is coupled with the shaft. A housing is coupled with a backing plate. A hub is positioned on the backing plate to secure the cooling device with a shaft. The backing plate includes one or more vents to enable air to exit the cooling device. The housing includes a shroud with an opening to enable air to enter the cooling device.

The plurality of vanes draw air into the cooling device. A pressurized chamber is formed between the separating plate and the backing plate. During rotation, air is drawn in through the shroud opening by the plurality of vanes.

-
FIG. 1 illustrates a random orbital machine. Themachine 10 is operable by plugging apower delivery device 12, which, in this case, is an electrical cord. A switch may be depressed that energizes amotor 14 that causes a drive shaft 16 to rotate. A coolingdevice 20 is illustrated attached to abacking plate 22 that are rotatably secured with the shaft 16. - The
backing plate 22 includes adrive hub 24 that attaches thebacking plate 22 to the spindle or rotating shaft 16. Thebacking plate 22 includes afoam pad 26 with a plurality of hook andloop fasteners 28 that enable the foam pad to attach a polishing pad. Also, thefoam pad 26 includes a plurality of vents orapertures 30 that enable air to flow through thecooling device 20. - The
backing plate 22 has an overall cylindrical shape with thehub 24 being elevated in this design at the center of thebacking plate 22. Thebacking plate 22 also includes aside flange 32 with astep 34 to receive thefan assembly 40 of thecooling device 20. - The
fan assembly 40 includes a housing orinlet shroud 42. Theinlet shroud 42 has an overall circular ring shape with aflange 44 that meshes with thestep 32 of thebacking plate 22. Theshroud 42 includes anopening 46 to enable air to enter into thefan assembly 40. A separatingplate 48 is positioned above asurface 54 of thebacking plate 22. This forms achamber 50 between thebacking plate 22 and thefan assembly 40. - A plurality of
vanes 52 is positioned between theshroud 42 and the separatingplate 48. Thevanes 52 direct air entering through theopening 46 through theshroud 42 into thechamber 50 and out through theapertures 30. Theshroud 42 includes acircular wall 56 that extends between theflange 44 and theopening 46. Additionally, aflange 58 extends upwardly from thewall 56 to define theopening 46. Thevanes 52 are positioned between thewall 56 and the separatingplate 48. - The separating
plate 48 is circular and includes anaperture 49 to enable passage of thehub 24. The separatingplate 48 extends radially towards theshroud flange 44 to provide agap 55 between the two to enable passage of air. - The
vanes 52 have an airfoil shape with arounded end 60 and a terminatingsharp edge 62. Therounded end 60 is positioned adjacent theopening 46. Thus, the airfoil shapedvanes 52 draw the air into theopening 46 and direct the air toward theflange 44. The air moves or travels between the separatingplate 48 and the underside ofwall 56 to the radial end of the separatingplate 48. This enables the air to be accelerated and move from theopening 46 between the separatingplate 48 andwall 56 throughgap 55 into thechamber 50. - As the air enters into the
opening 46, thevanes 52 accelerates the air. As the air moves into thechamber 50, the air pressure rises due to the acceleration of the air and the boundary of thechamber 50. The air in thechamber 50 is then accelerated out through the vents orapertures 30. As the air exits theapertures 30, the air enters into the polishing pad and appears at the work surface. This, in turn, enables the polishing pad as well as the work surface to be cooled by the air. - The
fan assembly 40 may be a multi-piece construction or a one piece injection molded formed part. This enables rapid connection with abacking pad 22. - Turning to
FIGS. 5-8 , a second embodiment of the fan assembly of thecooling device 20 is shown. The elements with like features are shown with numerals increased by 100. - The
cooling device 120 is illustrated attached to abacking plate 122 that are rollably secured with the shaft 16. Thebacking plate 122 includes adrive hub 124 that attaches thebacking plate 122 to the spindle or rotating shaft 16. - The
backing plate 122 includes afoam pad 126 with a plurality of hook andloop fasteners 28 that enable the foam pad to attach a polishing pad. - The
foam pad 126 also includes a plurality of vents orapertures 130 that enable air to flow through the cooling device. Thebacking plate 122 has an overall circular cylindrical ring shape with thehub 24 being elevated in this design at the center of thebacking plate 122. Thebacking plate 122 also includes aside flange 132 with astep 134 to receive thefan assembly 140 of thecooling device 120. - The
fan assembly 140 includes aplate 142 having an overall circular ring design which enables theplate 142 to fit in thestep 134 as well as to abut thehub 124. Theplate 140 includes one ormore naca ducts 144. Thenaca ducts 144 are formed to theplate 140. Thenaca ducts 144 may include abase 146,walls 148 and anopening 149. Thebase 146 is usually angled from the surface of theplate 142 towards the opening oraperture 149. Thenaca duct 144 acts as a scoop to provide a low drag air inlet design. Thus, as thecooling device 120 is rotated, air is forced into thechamber 50. Thechamber 50 is formed between theplate 142 and thebacking plate 122. Additionally,tabs 142 hold theplate 140 onto thebacking plate 122. - As the
fan assembly 120 is rotated, air is accelerated along thenaca duct 144 into theopening 149. As this occurs, the air moves into thechamber 150. The air pressure raises due to the acceleration of the air and the boundary of thechamber 150. The air in thechamber 150 is then accelerated out through the vents orapertures 130. As the air exits theapertures 130, the air enters into the polishing pad and appears at the work surface. This, in turn, enables the polishing pad, as well as the work surface, to be cooled by the air. Thefan assembly 140 may be a multi-piece construction or a one piece injection molded form part. This enables rapid connection with thebacking pad 122. - The foregoing description of the embodiments has been provided for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure. Individual elements or features of a particular embodiment are generally not limited to that particular embodiment, but, where applicable, are interchangeable and can be used in a selected embodiment, even if not specifically shown or described. The same may also be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the disclosure, and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the disclosure.
