Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to a rotating apparatus, and more particularly, to a rotating apparatus rotating by receiving the power of a rotating shaft, thereby preventing a reverse rotation while maintaining stable rotation of an interlocking member such as a disk.

BACKGROUND

Unless otherwise indicated herein, the description in this section is not a prior art to the claims of the present invention, and are not construed as being a prior art although it is included in this section.

A rotating apparatus receives rotational force of a motor and rotates various interlocking members connected to a motor shaft.

Therefore, it has to transmit the rotational force accurately and maintain a high-speed rotation stably while preventing a reverse rotation.

One example of the rotating apparatus includes a hand grinder. The hand grinder is a type of electric tool, in which an abrasive material is mounted to a rotating shaft operating at a high-speed due to the motor drive or compressor air pressure to polish and luster a surface of an object made of wood, stone, or various metals, or to finish the work by grinding a portion or an edge that was less machined.

The abrasive material is manufactured in various shapes and forms according to the quality of a material or a size of the object, and integrated into the polishing holder.

The grinding holder may be mounted on a rotating shaft exposed from a main body of the grinder.

A technique has been disclosed in which a grindstone shaft may be mounted using a collet or may be fixed by a chucking apparatus in order to fasten the holder mounted with an abrasive material to the rotating shaft of the hand grinder. However, these prior arts are complicated in the structure and have a very high manufacturing cost.

A rotating apparatus according to an embodiment includes a body 2 connected to a power generating unit 100 such as a motor to rotate a member to be rotated 200; a locking part 6 coupled to the body 2 and mounted with the member to be rotated 200; and a reverse rotation preventing means 4 for maintaining a coupling state of the locking part 6 and the body 2 and for preventing a reverse rotation.

The member to be rotated 200 is rotated by rotational force of the power generating unit 100, and an example thereof is an abrasive disc of a hand grinder.

Of course, the member to be rotated 200 is not limited to the abrasive disc but may be widely applied.

A driving shaft 22 coupled to a power generating unit 100 is formed at a side of the body 2 and a disc-shaped seating part 3 is formed at another side thereof.

A plurality of fixing protrusions 32 protruding at an uniform interval and formed in a substantially arc shape are formed on an upper surface edge of the seating part 3.

In addition, a cylinder-shaped boss 36 may be formed on the center of the upper surface of the seating part 3.

A plurality of latching protrusions 38 are formed on an outer circumferential surface of an end of the boss 36.

Here, it is possible to form only one of the fixing protrusions 32 and the boss 36, or both of them.

The locking part 6 is coupled and locked to be in contact with the upper surface of the seating part 3, and is connected to the member to be rotated 200.

The locking part 6 is a disc shape corresponding to a shape of the seating part 3, and its outer diameter is the same as an outer diameter of the seating part 3.

A plurality of fitting portions 64 are formed on an outer periphery of the locking part 6 to be inserted into a fixing groove 34 of the seating part 3.

The locking part 6 may be superimposed and coupled to the seating part 3 by inserting the fixing protrusion 32 of the seating part 3 into a dent between the fitting part 64 and the fitting part 64.

A through hole 62 through which the boss 36 of the body 2 passes is formed on a center of the locking part 6. The through holes 62 are formed with a plurality of latching protrusion grooves 622 corresponding to the plurality of latching protrusions 38 of the boss 36.

The latching protrusions 38 of the boss 36 form a cross shape, and thus the through holes 62 are also formed in a cross shape to correspond thereto.

Referring to FIG. 2, a latching groove 7 is formed on a bottom surface of the locking part 6 so that an elastic support 4 is selectively inserted.

The latching groove 7 includes first and second grooves 71 and 72 spaced from both sides and a rod 73 connected to both of the first and second grooves 71 and 72 and guiding a ball 46 by rolling it, and has a dumbbell shape.

As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of latching grooves 7 are arranged at equal intervals.

An embodiment of the reverse rotation preventing means includes an elastic support 4 exerting fixing force pressurizing so as to be temporarily fixed at a predetermined position while pressuring either the seating part 3 or the locking part 6.

A plurality of embedding holes 31 are formed in the upper surface of the seating part 3, and the elastic support 4 is coupled to each embedding hole 31.

The elastic support 4 includes an elastic body 44 inserted into the embedding hole 31 and a ball 46 supported by the elastic body 44 and the bottom surface of the locking part 6, and a ball plunger is preferable.

The elastic body 44 is a coil spring and is inserted into a case 42 inserted into the embedding hole 31. The ball 46 is inserted into a front end of the case 42 to be exposed only a part of the ball 46, and is formed by being curled and pursed inside an opening of the case 42 so as not to be released to the outside.

While it is described that the elastic support 4 is formed on the seating part 3 of the body 2 and the corresponding latching groove 7 is formed on the locking part 6, it is not limited thereto and the opposite structure is also possible.

In other words, it is possible that the elastic support 4 is formed on the locking part 6 and the corresponding latching groove 7 is formed on the seating part 3.

An embodiment of the reverse rotation preventing means includes a first locking means coupling the fitting portion 64 of the locking part 6 to the fixing protrusions 32 of the seating part 3.

The first locking means includes a locking step 642 protruding from a side of the fitting portion 64 of the locking part 6 and an insertion groove 382 formed at a side of the fixing protrusions 32 of the seating part 3, in which the locking step 642 is coupled to the insertion groove 382 to be in a fastened state.

A first blocking surface 325 is vertically formed at a side of the fixing protrusion 32 of the seating part 3 and a second blocking surface 645 is formed at another side of the fitting portion 64 of the locking part 6.

Therefore, when the reverse rotation occurs, the first blocking surface 325 and the second blocking surface 645 collide with each other to stop the reverse rotation.

An example of a reverse rotation preventing means includes a second locking means coupling the latching protrusion 38 of the boss 36 with the through hole 62 of the locking part 6.

The second locking means includes a latching step 624 formed on the upper surface of the locking part 6 and protruding spaced apart from the latching protrusion groove 622, and a seating end 626 formed between the latching step 624 and the latching protrusion groove 622, in which the latching protrusion 38 of the boss 36 is coupled to the seating end 626 to be in a fastened state.

The operation of such an embodiment of the configuration will now be described.

The driving shaft 22 of the body 2 is connected to the power generating unit 100 such as a motor.

The locking part 6 is superimposed and coupled to the seating part 3 in a male and female coupling manner in which the fitting part 64 is inserted into the fixing groove 34.

Then, the member to be rotated 200, such as an abrasive disc, is coupled to a front surface of the locking part 6.

When the rotational force of the power generating unit 100 is generated, the seating part 3 is rotated for an instant, the locking step 642 is fitted in the insertion groove 382, and at the same time, the latching protrusion 38 is coupled to the seating end 626, thereby integrating with the locking part 6.

At the same time, the ball 46 of the elastic support 4 is moved from the second groove 72 to the first groove 71 to have the fixing force.

Therefore, the rotating apparatus according to the present invention may rotate at a high speed while the locking part 6 is firmly coupled to the seating part 3 of the body 2. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of rocking or clearance and to prevent the reverse rotation, thereby stably rotating the member to be rotated 200.

A cylinder-shaped boss 36a may be formed on a center of the upper surface of the seating part 3a.

A plurality of latching protrusions 38a are formed on an outer circumferential surface of an end of the boss 36a.

When the rotational force of the power generating unit 100 is generated, the seating part 3 is rotated for an instant, the locking step 642 is fitted in the insertion groove 382, and at the same time, the latching protrusion 38 is coupled to the seating end 626, thereby integrating with the locking part 6.

At the same time, the ball 46 of the elastic support 4 is moved from the second groove 72 to the first groove 71 to have the fixing force.

Therefore, the rotating apparatus according to the present invention may rotate at a high speed while the locking part 6 is firmly coupled to the seating part 3 of the body 2. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of rocking or clearance and to prevent the reverse rotation, thereby stably rotating the member to be rotated 200.

Embodiment 5

Referring to FIGS. 28 and 29, a rotating apparatus A5 according to a fifth embodiment includes a body 2a to rotate a member to be rotated 200, and connected to a power generating unit; a locking part 6a coupled to the body 2a and mounted with the member to be rotated 200; and a reverse rotation preventing means maintaining a coupling state of the locking part 6a and the body 2a and preventing a reverse rotation.

A driving shaft 22 coupled to the power generating unit 100 is formed at a side of the body 2a and a disc-shaped seating part 3a is formed at another side thereof.

A plurality of fixing protrusions 32a protruding at an uniform interval and formed in a substantially arc shape are formed on an upper surface of the seating part 3a. A first inclined surface 33a is formed at a side of the fixing protrusions 32a. A groove 39a is formed adjacent to the fixing protrusion 32a.

The first inclined surface 33a is formed by being shaved inwardly from the upper surface of the fixing protrusions 32a to a bottom. Therefore, a lower end of the fixing protrusions 32a is shorter than an upper end thereof.

The rotating apparatus according to an embodiment includes a fixing member 700 fitted and coupled to a side of the body 2a to be lifted and lowered, and having a holder 720 formed on an upper surface thereof on which a protrusion 740 inserted into the groove 39a is formed.

The rotating apparatus according to an embodiment includes an actuator 800 formed on the driving shaft S to lift and lower the fixing member 700.

As shown in FIG. 28, the actuator 800 is a spring.

Alternatively, the actuator 800 may be a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder.

When the fixing member 700 is lifted by the actuator 800, the projection 740 is inserted into the groove 39a.

The holder 720 is in the form of a ring-shaped circular plate having a hole at a center thereof, and four protrusions 740 are arranged a circumferential direction at an uniform interval on an upper of the holder.

As shown in FIG. 28, the holder 720 may be a single ring-shaped plate member, but may also be a divided form.

A protrusion 740 may be formed on an upper surface of each of the divided holders 720, and each of the divided holders 720 may be individually supported and lifted/lowered by the actuator 800 in an elastic manner.

A cylinder-shaped boss 36a may be formed on a center of the upper surface of the seating part 3a.

A plurality of latching protrusions 38a are formed on an outer circumferential surface of an end of the boss 36a.

Here, it is possible to form only one of the fixing protrusions 32a and the boss 36a, or both of them.

The locking part 6a is coupled and locked to be in contact with the upper surface of the seating part 3a, and is connected to the member to be rotated 200.

The locking part 6a is a disc shape corresponding to a shape of the seating part 3a, and its outer diameter is the same as an outer diameter of the seating part 3a.

A plurality of fitting portions 64a are formed on an outer periphery of the locking part 6a to be inserted into a fixing groove 34a of the seating part 3a.

The locking part 6a may be superimposed and coupled to the seating part 3a by inserting the fixing protrusion 32a of the seating part 3a into a dent between the fitting part 64a and the fitting part 64a.

As such, when the force for lowering the fixing member 700 is removed, the fixing member 700 is lifted by means of the elastic force of the actuator 800 and thus the protrusion 740 is inserted into the groove 39a, and fills an empty space between the fitting portion 64a and the fitting portion 64a, thereby stably fixing the locking part 6a without shaking.

A second inclined surface 641a is formed at a side of the fitting portion 64a of the locking part 6a, and a locking step 642a is formed on the second inclined surface 641a.

A through hole 62a through which the boss 36a of the body 2a passes is formed on a center of the locking part 6a, and a tubular body 66a communicating with the through hole 62a is formed at a side of the locking part 6a.

A plurality of latching protrusion grooves 622a corresponding to the plurality of latching protrusions 38a of the boss 36a are formed on an inner circumferential surface of the through hole 62a and the tubular body 66a.

The latching protrusion 38a of the boss 36a forms a cross shape, and correspondingly, four latching protrusion grooves 622a are arranged in a cross shape on an inner periphery of the through hole 62a.

Therefore, a protrusion 629a is naturally formed between the two latching protrusion grooves 622a.

A latching groove 7a is formed on a bottom surface of the locking part 6a so that an elastic support 4a is selectively inserted.

The latching groove 7a includes first and second grooves 71a and 72a spaced from both sides and a rod 73a connected to both of the first and second grooves 71a and 72a and guiding a ball 46 by rolling it, and has a dumbbell shape.

A plurality of such latching grooves 7a are formed in a circumferential direction.

An embodiment of the reverse rotation preventing means includes an elastic support 4a exerting fixing force pressurizing so as to be temporarily fixed at a predetermined position while pressuring either the seating part 3a or the locking part 6a.

The elastic support 4a is coupled to the plurality of embedding holes 31 formed on the upper surface of the seating part 3a. As described above, the elastic support 4a includes an elastic body 44 inserted into the embedding hole 31 and a ball 46 supported by the elastic body 44 and the bottom surface of the locking part 6a.

The elastic body 44 is a coil spring and is inserted into a case 42 inserted into the embedding hole 31. The ball 46 is inserted into a front end of the case 42 to be exposed only a part of the ball 46, and is formed by being curled and pursed inside an opening of the case 42 so as not to be released to the outside.

While it is described that the elastic support 4a is formed on the seating part 3a of the body 2a and the corresponding latching groove 7a is formed on the locking part 6a, it is not limited thereto and the opposite structure is also possible.

In other words, it is possible that the elastic support 4a is formed on the locking part 6a and the corresponding latching grooves 7a is formed on the seating part 3a.

An embodiment of the reverse rotation preventing means includes a first locking means coupling the fitting portion 64a of the locking part 6a to the fixing protrusion 32a of the seating part 3a.

The first locking means includes a locking step 642a formed on the second inclined surface 641a of the fitting portion 64a of the locking part 6a, and an insertion groove 382a formed on the first inclined surface 33a of the fixing protrusions 32a of the seating part 3a. The locking step 642a is coupled to the insertion groove 382 to be in a fastened state, and the first inclined surface 33a and the second inclined surface 641a are in close contact with each other, thereby increasing coupling force.

A first blocking surface 325a is vertically formed at a side of the fixing protrusion 32a of the seating part 3a and a second blocking surface 645a is formed at another side of the fitting portion 64a of the locking part 6a.

Therefore, when the reverse rotation occurs, the first blocking surface 325a and the second blocking surface 645a collide with each other to stop the reverse rotation.

Accordingly, the fifth inclined surface 329a and the sixth inclined surface 646a are in contact with each other and are obliquely coupled, such that the fixing force may be increased so as not to weaken the coupling.

Preferably, once the fifth inclined surface 329a and the sixth inclined surface 646a are in contact with each other, the balanced force may be evenly distributed on both sides when bisecting with a vertical virtual line t.

Referring to FIG. 30, an example of the reverse rotation preventing means includes a second locking means coupling the latching protrusion 38a of the boss 36a with the tubular body 66a passing through the through hole 62a of the locking part 6a.

In the second locking means, a plurality of protrusion 629a are circumferentially formed on an inner peripheral surface of the tubular body 66a of the locking part 6a, in which a latching protrusion groove 622a into which the latching protrusion 38a is inserted is formed between these protrusions 629a.

A third inclined surface 383a is formed at a side of the latching protrusion 38a, and correspondingly, a fourth inclined surface is formed at a side of the protrusion 629a of the tubular body 66a.

Referring to FIG. 33, after the coupling of the body 2a and the locking part 6a, the member to be rotated 200 such as an abrasive disc is coupled to an outside of the tubular body 66a, and then a cover 7a is coupled to prevent exposure of the tubular body 66a.

The cover 7a is coupled to cover the entire surface of the abrasive disc, and the material of the cover 7a may include an abrasive material such as sandpaper, nonwoven fabric, paper, or wool. The cover 7a is detachably coupled, and may be attached to an outer surface of the abrasive disc using, for example, a velcro fastener.
