Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mixture, a method and an apparats for polishing parts which have at least one cavity to be polished
- the present invention is preferably applied to parts m the form of moulds or portions of moulds for the production of plastic items, where the cavity to be polished is the shaped mould for the item.
- Metal parts are currently polished by barrel cleaning.
- a tumbling barrel or container is filled with disassembled parts and a cleaning mixture or material designed to abrade the surface of the corresponding wall of the parts, polishing its surface
- the relative movement of the surfaces to be polished and the cleaning mixture is obtained by causing the hermetically sealed container to keep rotating for a given time.
- Barrel cleaning carried out m accordance with the prior art is not only expensive due to the fact that it requires the use of a special machine with a large container for the parts and the use of a large amount of polishing material, but m addition does not allow selective polishing of the various areas of the part This is a problem, for example, for portions of moulds in which there are reference surfaces which guide the various mould parts and hold them in their reciprocal positions, and whose abrasion following repeated barrel cleaning operations leads to the production of defective plastic items Such types of moulds are used, for example, for the production of PET bottles Disclosure of the Invention
- the aim of the present invention is, therefore, to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages individually or as a whole
- the method envisages the preparation of a polishing mixture, which is then brought into contact with the surface of the cavity to be polished and the movement of the polishing mixture relative to the surface to be polished for a preset time.
- the method advantageously envisages the insertion of the polishing mixture in the cavity in the part, which is specially designed to define an element for containing the polishing mixture. This avoids the use of excessive amounts of polishing material.
- the quantity which can be inserted m the cavity whose surfaces are to be polished is sufficient.
- the cavity has an upper lip.
- the polishing mixture is inserted up to a level which is above the upper lip of the cavity.
- an advantageous polishing result is obtained by using a dry polishing mixture consisting of a percentage weight varying between 50 and 80% of metal pellets, or abrasive ceramic elements, or abrasive plastic elements, and a percentage weight of from 20 to 50 of an abrasive which is normally in powder form.
- the wet polishing mixture preferably consists of a 70 to 90% percentage weight of metal pellets, or abrasive ceramic elements, or abrasive plastic elements, between 5 and 20% abrasive and from 3 to 10% water.
- polish between 3 and 10% of polish is also possible.
- a liquid detergent which increases material detachment and gives the cavity a more glossy finish after polishing.
- an optimum composition of the polishing mixture which allows the most remarkable polishing result to be obtained consists of an 80% percentage weight of metal pellets, 10% abrasive, 5% polish and 5% water.
- the metal pellets advantageously consist of copper pellets with various shapes, for example, rhomboid, triangular and cylindrical, with a larger dimension of between 3 and 6 mm
- the abrasive ceramic elements or bodies, or the abrasive plastic elements or bodies may have similar or greater dimensions.
- the length of the polishing treatment is preferably between 6 and 20 hours.
- a preferred embodiment 10 of an apparatus made according to the present invention comprises a base or support table 16 for a plurality of parts to be polished 12. As illustrated, the table is mounted on springs 17 on a fixed base 15.
- use of the present apparatus envisages the insertion of the polishing mixture in the cavity 14 of the parts 12 m such a way that the latter define container elements for the polishing mixture 13.
- Means which are able to cause the parts 12 to vibrate are envisaged m order to move the polishing mixture relative to the surface to be polished.
- the vibrating means consist of a vibrator 22, applied to the table 16, which is switched on m order to make the table 16 vibrate.
- a vibration is transmitted to the part, causing the polishing material to rotate m a direction of circulation which results m direct contact between the effective side of the abrasive current and a first face of the cavity in the part (indicated by the arrows m the illustration) .
- This is due to the fact that the vibration on the table has a horizontal vibration parallel with the table and a jerking vibration perpendicular to tne table.
- the table vibration In order to evenly polish the entire circumferential surface of the cavity, the table vibration s interrupted, at preset intervals, and the part turns through a preset angle until the surface is completely polished.
- the polarity of rotation of the vibration motor may be inverted, m order to invert the direction of rotation of the polishing material circulating in the cavity. This allows polishing of all circumferential walls, particularly those of small parts.
- the device which imparts the vibration to the table comprises a rotary vibrating shaft, with weights which are offset relative to the axis of the shaft, positioned so that the axis is parallel with the table.
- the present apparatus avoids the use of the expensive and bulky tumbling barrels referred to in the prior art.
- each part 12 there are special means for hermetically sealing the cavity 14, consisting of an upper lid 18 shaped m such a way that it extends upwards, defining an upper expansion chamber 20 for the polishing mixture 13 inserted m the cavity 14
- This shape advantageously allows the insertion of the polishing mixture up to a level which is above the upper lip of the cavity 14, allowing complete polishing of all surfaces of the cavity 14 to be polished.
- the upper lid comprises a first ring-shaped element 18' and an upper disc-shaped sealing element 18'' The polishing material 13 is inserted m the part before the upper disc-shaped element 18'' is put m place.
- the sealing means are hermetically sealed and the part is fixed to the table using a single plate 21 for each part, positioned above the part and lid, and held on the table 16 by extended legs 23, threaded at the ends on which locknuts 25 are screwed.
- the ring-shaped portion 18' of the means 18 for sealing the cavity 14 forms means or portions 22 which extend to cover and protect those areas of the part 12 located m the cavity 14 which must not be polished.
- Example 1 A wet polishing mixture is used, consisting of a percentage weight of 80% copper pellets with a length of 4 mm, 10% powder abrasive, such as Rollwash Dialb ⁇ l (brand name) , 5% liquid polish, such as Rosier CL30 (brand name) and 5% water.
- the part is subjected to vibration.
- the treatment time is 12 hours.
- a dry polishing mixture consisting of a percentage weight of 50% copper pellets with a length of 6 mm and 50% powder abrasive, such as Rollwash Dialbril (brand name) .
- the part is subjected to vibration.
- the treatment time is 6 hours .
- a wet polishing mixture consisting of a percentage weight of 90% copper pellets with a length of 3 mm, 5% powder abrasive, such as Rollwash Dialbril (brand name) , 3% water, 2% polish, such as the detergent Rosier CL30 (brand name) .
- the part is subjected to vibration.
- the treatment time is 20 hours .
- a second polishing mixture is used for the latter, consisting of a percentage weight of from 70 to 95% metal pellets, or abrasive ceramic elements, or abrasive plastic elements, preferably 90%, from 3 to 20% water, preferably 5%, and from 3 to 20% polish, preferably 5%.
- the length of the second polishing stage is between 2 and 3 hours.
