Therefore, according to the present invention, a grinding tool for a grinder can be conveniently attached and detached by reciprocating a sleeve such that a separate working tool or fastener is not required, the grinding tool can be immediately replaced even during use of the grinder, and straightness is ensured such that precise processing is possible.
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a main body of a grinding tool fixture, a grinding tool fixture 200 having a cap 30 at a front, a sleeve 40 and a coil spring 50 consecutively connected, and a main body 20 connected at a rear, and the main body 20 having a body 21 and a rotating shaft 22 integrally formed with a rear of the body 21.
The main body 20 of the grinding tool fixture 200 is turned, heat-treated, and then straightened.
Further, after the straightening, turning is re-performed on an inclined part.
Further, a plurality of bearing grooves 21-3 are formed at an outer circumference of a front part of the body 21, a bearing 60 is inserted into the bearing groove 21-3 and fixes a grinding tool 1, a diameter of the bearing groove 21-3 is smaller than that of the bearing 60, the bearing 60 is unable to be detached from the bearing groove 21-3 toward a center of an inner diameter of the shaft and is detached out of the inner diameter of the shaft, and the coil spring 50 is installed between the sleeve 40 and the body 21 and pushes the sleeve 40 forward.
Further, the body 21 has a circular insertion groove 21-2 formed therein at a rear, a quadrangular groove 21-4 smaller than the insertion groove 21-2 extends from a rear surface of the insertion groove 21-2, and the body 21 and the rotating shaft 22 are integrally formed such that eccentricity does not occur during rotation, and quality of a processed product is improved.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Conventionally, when a grinding tool is fitted into a front portion, a manual tool is used to widen an inlet through which the grinding tool is inserted, and then the grinding tool is fixed and used. In the present invention, a sleeve of a grinding tool fixture is pulled backward, a grinding tool is inserted thereinto, and then the sleeve pulled backward is moved forward to fix the grinding tool.
As a method of detaching the grinding tool, the sleeve of the grinding tool fixture is pulled backward, the grinding tool is detached, and then the sleeve pulled backward is moved forward to detach the grinding tool.
Elements of the grinding tool fixture 200 include the cap 30 at the front, the sleeve 40 and the coil spring 50 consecutively connected, and the main body 20 connected at the rear, and the main body 20 includes the body 21 and the rotating shaft 22 formed at the rear of the body 21
The cap, the sleeve, and the main body are formed of a chrome molybdenum steel (SCM) material, and SCM 415 material is mainly used.
The cap 30 has a hole formed at a center and is manufactured in two stages such that a step is formed and a diameter is gradually smaller toward a rear end.
The rear end of the cap 30 is inserted into the sleeve 40 therebehind, a screw part whose diameter is equal to an inner diameter of the cap 30 is formed, and the screw part is coupled to a front end of the body protruding forward inside the sleeve 40.
The sleeve is coupled to the rear of the cap, wherein the sleeve is formed in a cylindrical shape and has a groove formed at an outer circumference thereof to be easily grasped.
The sleeve is formed such that an inner diameter thereof is smaller at the rear than the front and allows a front end of the coil spring 50 to be seated.
The body 21 has a front end disposed inside the sleeve and a protrusion 21-1 formed at a middle, wherein the protrusion is formed to have a larger diameter than that of the front end of the body.
A rear end of the rotating shaft 22 formed behind the body 21 has a screw part formed thereat and is coupled to the grinder.
Further, instead of the screw part formed at the rear end of the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft may be formed in a polygonal shape and coupled to the grinder.
The body has the circular insertion groove 21-2 formed therein at the rear.
A portion in which the insertion groove is formed is up to a front end of the protrusion.
The quadrangular groove 21-4 in the quadrangular shape further extends from the rear end of the insertion groove, and a quadrangular shape at an end of the grinding tool is coupled to the quadrangular groove.
The quadrangular groove is formed to be smaller than the insertion groove.
A front portion of the body 21 has three bearing grooves 21-3 formed at an outer circumference thereof, and the bearing 60 is inserted into the three bearing grooves 21-3 to fix the grinding tool 1.
A ball bearing is used as the bearing.
Because a diameter of the bearing groove is smaller than that of the bearing, the bearing is unable to be detached from the bearing groove toward a center of an inner diameter of the shaft and may only be detached out of the inner diameter of the shaft.
The coil spring is installed between the sleeve and the body.
The coil spring 50 is installed between a rear portion of the inner diameter of the sleeve and a front portion of the protrusion of the body to always push the sleeve forward.
The body 21 has the bearing inserted into an outer circumferential surface thereof, and the bearing fixes the grinding tool. Three bearings are appropriate.
Therefore, the grinding tool is mounted at the front end of the grinding tool fixture, and the rear end of the grinding tool is processed to have a quadrangular cross-section so that the quadrangular portion is coupled to the quadrangular groove of the grinding tool fixture and rotates.
More specifically, the grinding tool includes a grinding material 1-1 and a grinding material holder 1-2 formed at a rear end of the grinding material.
The grinding material holder includes a front horizontal part 1-2a, an inclined part 1-2b, a step 1-2c, a rear horizontal part 1-2d, a circular groove 1-2e, and a quadrangular protrusion 1-2f consecutively formed from the front toward the rear.
The front horizontal part 1-2a has a cylindrical shape, the inclined part 1-2b is formed behind the front horizontal part 1-2a, and the inclined part 1-2b is formed to have a diameter gradually increasing from the rear toward the front.
The step 1-2c is formed behind the inclined part 1-2b, the rear horizontal part 1-2d is formed behind the step 1-2c, and the rear horizontal part 1-2d is formed to have a smaller diameter than that of the front horizontal part 1-2a.
The circular groove 1-2e is formed behind the rear horizontal part 1-2d. The circular groove 1-2e is formed along the outer circumference of the grinding material holder 1-2, and the grinding tool 1 is coupled or detached when a force is applied to the circular groove 1-2e from the bearing of the grinding tool fixture 200.
The quadrangular protrusion 1-2f processed to have a quadrangular cross-section is formed behind the circular groove 1-2e.
A chamfer 1-2g is formed at each corner of the quadrangular protrusion 1-2f for the quadrangular protrusion 1-2f to be easily coupled to the quadrangular groove 21-4 of the grinding tool fixture 200.
Because the inclined part 1-2b of the grinding material holder 1-2 and the ring-shaped step are formed at corresponding positions in the body, eccentricity does not occur when the grinding material holder 1-2 is coupled to the grinding tool fixer.
The cap 30, the sleeve 40, and the main body 20 of the grinding tool fixture 200 of the present invention are turned on a computer numerical control (CNC) lathe and are carburized and heat-treated.
Particularly, a method of processing a main body 20 of the grinding tool fixer, which is the technical gist of the present invention, will be described in detail.
The main body 20 of the grinding tool fixer is processed by turning a material thereof according to a shape shown in
In processing the quadrangular groove 21-4 of the body, the circular groove 1-2e is processed first, and then the quadrangular groove 21-4 is processed. The circular groove 1-2e is circularly drilled first, and when a length of one side of a quadrangular cross-section of the quadrangular groove 21-4 is 5.1 mm, drilling is performed so that a diameter is 5 mm smaller. Then, the quadrangular groove 21-4 is processed. Because the quadrangular protrusion 1-2f of the grinding material holder 1-2 coupled to the quadrangular groove 21-4 has the chamfer formed at each of the corners, the quadrangular protrusion 1-2f is easily coupled to the quadrangular groove 21-4. Here, a diagonal length of the quadrangular groove 21-4 is about 6.1 mm.
Here, a gap of about 0.2 mm is formed between an end of the quadrangular protrusion 1-2f of the grinding material holder 1-2 and a bottom surface of the quadrangular groove 21-4.
Then, a hole is processed using a drill and an end mill.
Then, a heat treatment step is performed. A carburized heat treatment method is used for the heat treatment so that a hardness of HRC55 is achieved. The carburizing temperature is in the range of 830 to 850° C. The carburizing time is about 3 hours 20 minutes to 3 hours 40 minutes.
Then, straightening is performed. The main body 20 that is bent like a bow due to being heat treated is put in a straightening mold and pressed to be straightened such that a straightness tolerance is within 5/100.
Because deformation occurs after the heat treatment, the inclined part 1-2b is separately grinded after the heat treatment. This is to compensate for straightness.
Here, the CNC lathe uses an outer diameter collet chuck exclusive therefor, and an inclined surface of a corresponding tool also accurately corresponds to a predetermined angle, 15°.
In the present invention, the inclined part 1-2b of the grinding material holder 1-2 and the ring-shaped step are formed at corresponding positions. Therefore, after straightness of the quadrangular groove 21-4 of the body is determined, the inclined angle is set as 15° when the straightness tolerance is within the predetermined tolerance, 5/100, and the inclined angle is set to be smaller than 15° to compensate for the straightness when the straightness tolerance deviates from the predetermined tolerance, 5/100, and increases. When the inclined angle becomes smaller than 15°, a length tolerance increases when a front end of a tool is worn out, and a service life of the tool increases.
Because the inclined angle of the front end of the tool may be set to be large, the length tolerance decreases even when the front end of the tool is worn out, and the service life of the tool increases.
