This application claims the benefit of priority from Chinese Application No. 201910004320.7, filed on Jan. 3, 2019. The content of the aforementioned application, including any intervening amendments thereto, is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a grinding device and in particular to a grinding device for riveted joints on sheet metal.
During the machining process, there may be a large number of rivets on sheet metal. Since the joints of the rivets may be raised, it is necessary to grind the raised joints in order to prevent the raised joints from influencing the subsequent processes. Usually, a grinding device is held by people to grind the raised joints, and people have to move the grinding device correspondingly. Over time, people suffer from arm tension and aches, which will influence the grinding process. Moreover, during the grinding of the raised joints by the grinding device, it is likely for the grinding device to deviate from the raised joints. In this event, the grinding device may come into contact with the sheet metal to damage it. Based on this consideration, people need to have a rest after a short period of time of working with their eyes focused on the raised joints and the grinding device to avoid the deviation of the grinding device from the raised joints. This is effort-saving and the working efficiency is low.
The present invention is intended to overcome the following defects: people have to move the grinding device correspondingly; over time, people suffer from arm tension and aches, which will influence the grinding process; and moreover, during the grinding of the raised joints by the grinding device, it is likely for the grinding device to deviate from the raised joints and in this event, the grinding device may come into contact with the sheet metal to damage it. A technical problem to be solved is to provide a grinding device for riveted joints on sheet metal, which can be used by people to grind raised joints conveniently without causing arm tension and aches, with low possibility of deviation that may cause damage to the sheet metal.

The grinding device further comprises a third bearing seat 22, a rotating bar 23, a gear 24, a blade 25 and a gear ring 26.

The gear ring 26 is located on a left side of the gear 24 and is meshed with the gear 24.
First, the driving device 16 is started by an operator. The operation of the driving device 16 drives the sleeve 6 to rotate. The rotation of the sleeve 6 drives the grinding wheel 7 to rotate. Then, the 7-shaped plate 10 is held to move the grinding device to a position above a raised joint. The legs 2 come into contact with the sheet metal, and the grinding wheel 7 is moved to a position right above the joint. Then, the right portion of the oscillating plate 13 is pulled to oscillate upward, and the upward oscillation of the right portion of the oscillating plate 13 enables its left portion to oscillate downward. The second spring 12 is stretched. The downward oscillation of the left portion of the oscillating plate 13 drives, by the guide slider 15, the moving bar 9 to move downward. The downward movement of the moving bar 9 drives the moving plate 3 to move downward. The first springs 4 are stretched. The downward movement of the moving plate 3 drives the sleeve to move downward. The downward movement of the sleeve 6 drives the grinding wheel 7 to move downward. The downward movement of the grinding wheel 7 provides for the contact with the joint. Then, the grinding wheel 7 rotates to grind the joint. After a joint has been grinded, the oscillating plate 13 may be released. Due to the second spring 12, the left portion of the oscillating plate 13 oscillates upward, and the upward oscillation of the left portion of the oscillating plate 13 drives, by the guide slider 15, the moving bar 9 to move upward to its original position. Due to the first springs 4, the upward movement of the moving plate 3 drives, by the sleeve 6, the grinding wheel 7 to move upward to its original position. That is, the grinding device may be moved to a position above a next joint. By the above operations, the joints may be grinded. When all the raised joints on the sheet metal have been grinded, the driving motor 163 may be turned off
First, the driving motor 163 is started by an operator. The rotation of the driving motor 163 drives the rotating shaft 162 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 162 drives, by the vertical slider 165, the sleeve 6 to rotate. The rotation of the sleeve 6 drives the grinding wheel 7 to rotate. That is, the grinding device may be moved onto the sheet metal, and the grinding wheel 7 may be moved to a position right above a raised joint to start grinding it. When all the raised joints have been grinded, the driving motor 163 may be turned off. Accordingly, the grinding wheel 7 stops rotating.
When the right portion of the oscillating plate 13 is pulled by an operator to oscillate upward, the left portion of the oscillating plate 13 oscillates downward and the downward oscillation of the left portion of the oscillating plate 13 drives the curved ratchet rack 172 to move downward. Due to the torsion spring 179, the curved ratchet rack 172 moves downward and slides on the ratchet block 175. Therefore, the grinding wheel 7 comes into contact with the raised joint. Then, the operator stops pulling the oscillating plate 13, and the oscillating plate 13 is fixed by the fitting of the curved ratchet rack 172 with the ratchet block 175. Then, the oscillating plate 13 is released. When all the raised joints have been grinded, the fastening bolt 177 may be unscrewed by the operator. The fastening bolt 177 is unscrewed to get out of the slot 178. Therefore, the oscillating bar 176 is released by the fastening bolt 177. The oscillating bar 176 is pulled to oscillate leftward. The leftward oscillation of the oscillating bar 176 drives the ratchet block 175 to oscillate leftward. The ratchet block 175 oscillates leftward to separate from the curved ratchet rack 172. Due to the second spring 12, the upward oscillation of the left portion of the oscillating plate 13 drives the curved ratchet rack 172 to move upward to its original position. The oscillating bar 176 is driven to oscillate rightward, and the rightward oscillation of the oscillating bar 176 drives the ratchet block 175 to oscillate rightward. The ratchet block 175 oscillates rightward to mesh with the curved ratchet rack 172. The fastening bolt 177 is screwed into the slot 178 to fix the oscillating bar 176. Then, the screwing of the fastening bolt 177 is stopped. In this way, the operator does not have to pull the oscillating plate 13. It is both time and effort saving.
When the grinding device is placed on the sheet metal, the curved rubber plate 21 comes into contact with the sheet metal. Therefore, when the grinding wheel 7 grinds a raised joint, due to the third springs 20, the curved rubber plate 21 absorbs shock on the grinding device. In this way, the violent shake of the grinding device, which may influence the grinding of the raised joint, can be avoided.
When the driving motor 163 is started, the rotation of the sleeve 6 drives the gear ring 26 to rotate. The rotation of the gear ring 26 drives the gear 24 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 24 drives the rotating bar 23 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating bar 23 drives the blade 25 to rotate. The rotation of the blade 25 generates wind that clears debris produced during the grinding. When the driving motor 163 is turned off, the sleeve 6 stops rotating and the blade 25 also stops rotating. In this way, the accumulation of a great amount of debris, which may influence the grinding, may be avoided.
The foregoing descriptions are merely some implementations of the present invention. It should be noted that, to a person of ordinary skill in the art, various improvements and modifications may be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications shall be deemed as falling into the protection scope of the present invention.
