Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a grinding tool for grinding a surface of plate-shaped items and having a circular grinding surface for rotation in a plane perpendicular to the rotary axis of the grinding tool, where the grinding tool includes a support means adapted to support a grinding member, preferably a abrasive paper, and which has a circular central area corresponding to the grinding surface and a ring-shaped rim area with a frusto-conical surface.
  • the invention furthermore concerns an apparatus for grinding a surface of plate- shaped items, including a transport unit with a support face for the items and a carrier arrangement with a number of grinding tools arranged across the transport unit and supported on an endless transport means for moving the grinding tools in an annular movement in parallel with the support face, each of the grinding tools being adapted for rotating about an axis in a plane perpendicularly to the support plane and with a circular grinding face for rotating in a plane perpendicular to the rotary axis of the grinding tool in a plane parallel with the support plane.
  • the invention also concerns use of such a tool in such an apparatus.
  • grinding apparatuses with a number of rollers, either with surrounding abrasive paper or with a number of grinding members that are disposed in the longitudinal direction of the roller.
  • the grinding apparatus is designed either with rollers typically rotating opposite each other, or rollers set at different angles in relation to the surface.
  • the disadvantage of these types of rollers is that they consume a large amount of abrasive paper, whereby the abrasive paper is to be replaced often. This causes stop in production and increases the costs of grinding.
  • the grinding apparatus will not be worn evenly along the roller, in particular if items with different dimensions are to be ground.
  • the abrasive paper will be worn most at the centre part of the roller.
  • rollers By rotating the roller about two shafts, it is attempted to avoid distinct grinding marks.
  • the rollers are rotating in mutually different directions with different speeds.
  • EP 0 471 641 are used a number of grinding arrangements where each grinding arrangement consists of a number of rotating rollers rotating about a vertical shaft. In order to ensure grinding of the entire item, these grinding arrangements are arranged with overlap, causing uneven grinding, since there are areas of the item which are ground more than once.
  • the disadvantage of both of the above grinding apparatuses is that they, in order to grind broad items, are to have long rollers, implying that the motor units for these rollers are to be correspondingly larger. This results in a larger capital cost of the grinding apparatus and a greater energy consumption.
  • This construction of a surface treatment apparatus entails non-uniform surface treatment, since the grinding areas of the two rows of grinding brushes overlap each other slightly, and that only one grinding of the surface of the item occurs.
  • the apparatus will not ensure an efficient grinding/deburring of edges and roundings of an item, as e.g. a stationary grinding drum may only grind the surface and forward facing edges/roundings, and a bar with overlapping grinding area of the grinding brushes only ensures a grinding of large parts of the surface once.
  • a grinding tool for grinding a surface of plate-shaped items and having a circular grinding surface for rotation in a plane perpendicular to the rotary axis of the grinding tool will not be capable of grinding the items conveyed in a so-called continuous grinder where the items lying on a conveyor belt are passed in under a bar upon which the grinding tools are mounted. The edges on the grinding tools will strike the side edges on the items.
  • the construction is thus complicated by an elevating bar which is difficult to control. Even in such a situation it will not be possible to grind the items in an accurate way if they vary a little in thickness.
  • US 4065882 is disclosed a grinding tool for use in grinding machines where the tool is provided with abrasive paper having a circular central area which is the active part of the abrasive paper, and a rim area with slits.
  • the rim area is adapted by removal of parts during the slitting operation such that it can be folded in over the edge of the tool without forming an overlap. The rim area then forms an active corner or edge.
  • the drawbacks of this are that the abrasive paper is to be adapted very accurately by slitting in order to avoid overlap and that the positioning of the abrasive paper on the support means during mounting has to be done with great precision.
  • this is achieved by a grinding tool of the kind mentioned in the introduction which is peculiar in that the frusto-conical rim area forms an angle between 3 and 25° with the grinding surface.
  • the grinding apparatus according to the invention is peculiar in that the grinding tool includes a support means adapted for supporting a grinding member, preferably an abrasive sheet or a abrasive paper, and which has a circular central area corresponding to the grinding surface and a ring-shaped rim area with a frusto-conical surface.
  • a grinding member preferably an abrasive sheet or a abrasive paper
  • the grinding member can be formed by a circular flat piece of paper or abrasive fabric without slits, as the angle of the frusto-conical rim area is not greater than the grinding member can be adapted to the shape of the support means by pressing it on it. This provides that the grinding member is simple to make, easy to use and place on the support means as no particular accuracy is required.
  • a grinding tool in a grinding apparatus will be moved in over the edge of a plate-shaped item simultaneously with deburring the edge.
  • the grinding tool provides a grinding result with high quality, for example such as known from eccentric grinders.
  • the circular grinding marks known from the use of eccentric grinders are avoided.
  • the grinding tool is peculiar in that the frusto-conical rim area forms an angle between 3 and 25°, preferably between 5 and 10°, with the grinding surface. This provides an appropriate hipping or sloping surface such that the grinding tool does not hit the edge of the item, but instead is moved in over the item, and such as to have a contact pressure against the item during the grinding operation.
  • the grinding tool is peculiar in that the support means includes a resilient layer upon which the abrasive paper is mounted. This feature enables adaptation to a slightly deviating thickness on the item and will also provide that the item is ground with a grinding pressure that may be adjusted by suitable choice of the resilient layer.
  • the grinding tool may include a resilient suspension, preferably an air cylinder.
  • the grinding tool is peculiar in that the resilient layer has a Shore A between 30 and 60, preferably between 40 and 50. In practice, this has appeared to give a good result of the grinding.
  • the grinding tool is peculiar in that the grinding member includes abrasive paper which is slit, preferably with largely radially extending slits.
  • the abrasive paper may hereby be adapted more easily to the frustum of a cone at the rim area.
  • the grinding tool is peculiar in that the grinding member is provided with holes, and that corresponding holes are provided in the support means for sucking off grinding dust.
  • the grinding tool is peculiar in that the rim area of the support means is between 10 and 17 mm wide and has an inclination between 2 and 5mm. This is typically used in a grinding tool with a diameter between 100 and 180 mm, preferably around 150 mm.
  • the grinding tool is peculiar by including a motor.
  • Each single tool may hereby optionally be rotated in one or the other direction, independently of other tools in an apparatus.
  • grinding tools are connected with a support arrangement that holds the grinding tools at a desired position in relation to the surface of the item.
  • a large number of tools may be used in a simple way in one machine, e.g. a continuously operating grinder.
  • the grinding tools are circular and have support means that support grinding wheels and are connected to the grinding motors such that the grinding wheels in use are disposed in parallel with a surface of the item to be ground, preferably in a horizontal plane.
  • the support arrangement includes an endless conveying means for the grinding heads, the conveying means being driven by the a moving motor.
  • the support plane can be formed by a conveyor belt or by rollers or by any other kind of conveyor suited for supporting and transporting items through the grinding apparatus.
  • the horizontal movement of the grinding tools transversely of the workpiece occurs in direction perpendicularly to the vertical shaft of the grinding members. This ensures that the entire item is ground in one run through the grinding apparatus.
  • the conveying means is an endless course providing that the grinding heads are moved around from one side to the opposite side and back again to the first side, so that the item is surface treated by two rows of grinding tools that are moved over the workpiece in opposite directions in one run.
  • An item may thus be ground in just one run by a grinding apparatus.
  • the grinding apparatus may constitute part of a machine which is made with more serially mounted grinding apparatuses. In such a machine, the grinding apparatus according to the invention will constitute the last grinding apparatus in the machine.
  • each tool is driven by its own motor.
  • This may be controlled in a control unit.
  • every other grinding tool may have the same direction of rotation, while the intermediate grinding tools have opposite direction of rotation, or every third grinding tool may have the same direction of rotation, while the intermediate grinding tools have an opposite direction of rotation.
  • the different directions of rotation of successive grinding tools cause that the grinding apparatus advantageously may be used in deburring and grinding edges and roundings.
  • the lateral movement of the grinding tools is to be adjusted to the speed with which the item is moved through the grinding apparatus, so that the grinding tools are moved at least so fast that the item is provided at least two grinding actions, and so that there are no areas on the item which are not ground.
  • the conveying means is constituted by a number of drive chains or belts which are adapted to engage a drive wheel driven by the moving motors.
