Definitions

  • the present document relates to grinding elements for grinding and/or polishing hard floor surfaces, such as concrete floors, wherein the grinding element has a shape for reducing the work piece engaging surface and maintaining mounting stability.
  • a grinding machine When grinding and/or polishing hard floor surfaces, e.g. of stone or stone-like material such as concrete, terrazzo etc., a grinding machine is usually employed together with water or other cutting fluids.
  • the residual particles, i.e. dust and debris, from the grinding process are collected together with the water.
  • the water also reduces the temperature at the contact area between the work piece and the grinding element.
  • the collected dust and debris, mixed with water or other fluids may be very heavy and difficult to handle and remove from the grinding working site. Therefore a procedure with dry grinding/polishing is desirable, where the dust and debris simply can be removed by vacuum cleaning and gathered as a dry mass.
  • the threshold friction when starting the grinding i.e. starting the rotational movement of the grinding device over the work piece, renders the torque applied, and hence the heat developed, high.
  • the high heat development is especially undesirable when using grinding devices with abrasive particles, which are heat sensitive, e.g. diamond.
  • the grinding elements are designed to withstand the applied forces and the threshold friction that arises during start- up.
  • EP-A1 -1 304 190 discloses a cutting tool for the removal of coatings from mineral substrates consisting of a series of angled cutting segments. However these cutting segments are quite large, thus having a relatively large threshold friction and therefore a large heat development at the start-up of grinding.
  • US 6 196 91 1 B1 disclose a tool including abrasive elements, which may be formed in arcuate sections. These segments are also, however quite large and may hence give rise to a large heat development during start-up due to the forces applied.
  • More specific objects include providing a grinding element which is able to reduce the heat development and withstand the forces applied during the start up of the grinding process.
  • a grinding element adapted to be arranged on a holder plate, for grinding and/or polishing hard floor surfaces
  • the grinding element has the form of a geometric body defined by a substantially oblong base surfaces, a work piece engaging surface, spaced apart from the base surface, and at least two spaced apart long side surfaces extending substantially along a longitudinal direction of the grinding element and substantially between the base surface and the work piece engaging surface, wherein the long side surfaces present a respective concave surface portion.
  • the grinding element having at least one concave portion, there is provided a grinding element which is curved and it is hence possible to have a narrow profile, i.e. a small short side length of the grinding element.
  • a narrow profile results in a reduced engagement surface area, but still has a relatively large support surface bearing against the holder plate and therefore may be able to withstand the forces applied during start-up of the grinding.
  • the two substantially concave surface portions may be formed as a smoothly curved shape, or by two or more surface portions which meat at an angle.
  • grinding element refers to an element with a grinding and/or polishing effect.
  • Such elements can comprise a matrix of metal or plastics resin which contain grinding particles of any size and any material, for example a grinding agent such as PCD and/or diamond.
  • the term "for grinding and/or polishing” here refers to a holder plate with only a grinding and/or polishing element and hence not holder plates which have one or more cutting edges for cutting of floor surfaces.
  • the base surface and the work piece engaging surface of the grinding element may be substantially parallel and of substantially the same size, such that the geometric body thus formed presents an essentially constant cross section.
  • At least one of the long side surfaces may present at least one substantially convex surface portion.
  • the grinding element has at least two long side surfaces, and the at least two long side surfaces both present a substantially concave portion and a substantially convex portion, and the at least two long side surfaces are substantially parallel.
  • the substantially convex portion of one of the two long side surfaces may be aligned with the concave portion of the other long side surface, and vice versa.
  • the long side surfaces are arranged on opposite sides of the grinding elements.
  • the narrow profile may be achieved, which is able to withstand the threshold friction at the onset of and during grinding, but which still gives rise to lower applied forces and hence less heat development.
  • the work piece engaging surface of the grinding element may have a varying topography.
  • the length of the grinding element in a longitudinal direction may be at least two times the width of the grinding element in a transversal direction, or at least four times, or at least six times or at least eight times or at least ten times the width of the grinding element in a transversal direction.
  • the grinding element presents at least one short side surface having a width, which is less than 50% of the total transversal extent of the grinding element, as seen in a direction transversely of the longitudinal direction. According to this embodiment a narrow and in a longitudinal direction extended grinding element is achieved.
  • the grinding element may be formed by an essentially homogenous material matrix with abrasive particles dispersed throughout, wherein material is formed by a metal bond diamond.
  • material is formed by a metal bond diamond.
  • a grinding element with excellent grinding properties and resistance for grinding and/or polishing hard floor surfaces such as concrete, stone, terrazzo or similar, which also has a low threshold friction, and that gives rise to lower forces and heat development during grinding.
  • a tool for grinding and/or polishing hard floor surfaces comprising a holder plate, on which at least one grinding element, according to the first aspect of the solution, is arranged.
  • the tool may be configured for a direction of rotation, and the grinding element is arranged on the holder plate substantially with its longitudinal directions transversely of the direction of rotation.
  • At least two grinding elements are arranged on a holder plate.
  • 1 to 10 grinding elements may be arranged on a holder plate.
  • the holder plate may present sides which form an acute angle with each other, and which have undercut flanges that are formed for surrounding engagement with an undercut shoulder arranged on the abrading plate.
  • Such a holder plate can be releasably mountable on a abrading plate, e.g. by a sliding movement in a radial direction of the abrading plate.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic plan view of a holder plate supporting grinding elements according to the one embodiment.
  • Fig. 2 shows a schematic plan view of a grinding disc on which are arranged three holder plates according to Fig. 1.
  • Figs. 3a-3f show schematic plan views of grinding elements according to alternative embodiments.
  • Fig. 4a is a schematic perspective view of the grinding element in Fig. 3b.
  • Fig. 4b is a schematic plan view of an alternative grinding element.
  • Figs 5a-5f show schematic perspective views of grinding elements according to alternative embodiments.
  • Fig. 1 shows grinding plate 3 on which holder plates 2 are arranged.
  • the holder plates 2 support grinding elements 1 , according to the present solution.
  • the holder plate 2 is an arrangement which can be used to attach the holder plate 2 to the grinding plate 3. Examples of such elements can be threaded holes for fastening the holder plate to the grinding disc by means of screws as shown in EP-1 321 233. Another example of such an element can be the surrounding flanges as shown in WO 2004/108352.
  • Fig. 2 shows a grinding plate 3 on which are arranged three holder plates 2, supporting grinding elements 1. It can be seen that the number of holder plates 2 arranged on the grinding plate 3 can vary as required. Normal configurations comprise 3-6 holder plates 2. It can be seen that the holder plate 2 according to the present solution can be fitted with an arbitrary number of grinding elements for example 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 depending on requirements and the space available on the holder plate 2.

  • the length m 2 of the grinding element 1 in a longitudinal direction may vary in proportion to the width m 3 , i.e. the total transversal extent of the grinding element, to give rise to different curvatures and geometries of the grinding element 1.
  • the length m 2 twice the width m 3 in another embodiment it is at least four times, in an alternative embodiment at least six times or in yet an alternative embodiment at least eight times or in yet an alternative embodiment at least ten times the width ITi 3 .
  • the number of concave and convex portions can vary.
  • the width m 1 of the short side surface S may be less than 50% of the width m 3 of the grinding element 1.
