Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a grinding tool, in particular to a handheld grinding tool with light and a lighting structure applied to the grinding tool. Background Art

[0002] Grinding is a type of surface modification technology. It generally refers to a processing method that uses rough objects (such as sandpaper containing high-hardness particles) to change the physical properties of the material surface through friction. The main purpose is to obtain a specific surface roughness. The application of electric grinders has gradually become common in the fields of mechanical manufacturing and home improvement. Electric grinders are mechanized tools that use an electric motor as power and drive the working head through a transmission mechanism to work. They include dry grinders or other grinders. They are very efficient in grinding flat surfaces such as walls, wooden boards, and floors. During the processing, the operator needs to understand the condition of the surface being ground. When there is insufficient light, a light source is needed to assist in observation. At this stage, external light sources are used for lighting, but this type of lighting cannot be illuminated as the grinder moves.

[0003] To address these issues, electric grinders are now being marketed with fixed lighting devices, available in two types: one with a single on / off switch and one with a constant lighting mode. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN202155773U discloses an integrated electric grinder with an integrated inspection light. The device comprises a grinder body and a lighting structure within the grinder body housing. The lighting structure includes an inspection light, a lamp holder for mounting the inspection light, and an electronic control assembly for driving the inspection light. The inspection light is located at the front end of the grinder body and is illuminated by triggering the electronic control assembly.

[0004] For example, the Chinese utility model patent CN209503763U discloses a new type of lithium-ion grinder, which includes a body, a handle, an outer cover, a battery pack, a switch, a speed control switch, an air outlet, an air inlet, a dust outlet, a brushless motor controller, a grinding disc, a vertical gear, a spring, a transverse gear, a dust suction fan blade, a heat dissipation fan blade, a brushless motor rotor, a brushless motor stator, an LED lamp, a switch pull rod, a switch push button and a switch spring. The inner cavity of the body is equipped with a brushless motor and an LED lamp, the LED lamp and the brushless motor are electrically connected to the switch, and a grinding disc is installed at the bottom of the body.

[0005] The existing electric grinders with lighting have the following problems: 1. For the mode of controlling the lighting with a separate switch, a separate control switch needs to be set on the machine body to control the lighting, which increases the processing cost of the electric grinder; 2. For the always-on lighting mode, the lighting lamp and the motor are controlled by the same power switch. The lighting lamp turns on when the motor starts. When used in a well-lit environment, the lighting lamp will waste electricity. Moreover, the lighting lamp turns on synchronously with the motor. If the lighting lamp is always on, the effective life of the lamp will be reduced; 3. For both the modes of controlling the lighting with a separate switch and the always-on lighting, the lighting lamp is fixed on the electric grinder and is an inseparable part of the electric grinder. Therefore, the light intensity and illumination angle of the lighting lamp cannot be changed according to needs, which has certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely illustrative and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that like reference numerals denote like items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it may not be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0029] Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the handheld grinding tool with light includes a body 1 with a handle 2 and a lighting module 3.

[0030] A driving motor is installed in the body 1, and a grinding disc 4 connected to the driving motor for grinding operations is provided at the bottom of the body 1. This structure is the same as that of existing grinding tools and is not elaborated in detail in this patent.

[0031] Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned lighting module 3 is a component independent of the body 1. The lighting module 3 has a connecting portion. The lighting module 3 is detachably mounted on the body 1 through the connecting portion for lighting when the grinding disc 4 is in operation. The lighting module 3 includes a support frame 9 and a light-emitting portion 10 fixed on the support frame 9, and lighting is performed by emitting light through the light-emitting portion 10.

[0032] There are many ways of detachable connection, and conventional connection methods in the field are applicable to this patent, for example:

[0033] Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, one solution is shown, in which the connection portion is a fixing base 5 provided on the support frame 9 and / or the light-emitting portion 10. The fixing base 5 is provided with a mounting hole 6, and the body 1 is provided with a threaded hole 7. Screws pass through the mounting hole 6 and connect with the threaded hole 7 to fix the lighting module 3 to the body 1. Preferably, the support frame 9 and the light-emitting portion 10 are both provided with a bump 12, and the corresponding bumps 12 on the support frame 9 and the light-emitting portion 10 are combined to form the above-mentioned fixing base 5.

[0034] In another solution, the connection part is a bayonet / snap portion set on the lighting module 3, and a corresponding snap portion / bayonet is set on the body 1. The lighting module 3 and the body 1 are connected by inserting the snap portion into the bayonet, so that the lighting module 3 is fixed on the body 1.

[0035] In another solution, the connection portion is an adhesive portion provided on the lighting module 3 , and the lighting module 3 is adhered to the body 1 via the adhesive portion.

[0036] This patent provides lighting by setting up a lighting module 3 independent of the body 1. There is no need to set a separate switch on the body 1 to control the lighting of the lighting module 3, so that the size of the body 1 itself will not increase during processing and molding. The lighting module 3 is detachably installed on the body 1. The user can replace the lighting module 3 with different lighting intensities or lighting modules 3 with different illumination angles according to needs, and can be installed on the body 1 for use when lighting is needed. When lighting is not needed, the lighting module 3 can be removed or turned off to avoid wasting electricity or the problem of the lighting module 3 always being illuminated when the grinding equipment is operating.

[0037] In addition, a power supply battery is provided in the lighting module 3 for providing electrical energy, and a control switch is provided on the lighting module 3 for controlling its light emission.

[0038] Regarding the power supply method of the lighting module 3, we have another solution, the details of which are as follows:

[0039] A power supply port is provided on the body 1, and the power supply port is electrically connected to the power supply of the body 1. A power connector is connected to the lighting module 3. When the lighting module 3 is installed on the body 1, the power connector is connected to the power supply port so that the power supply on the body 1 supplies power to the lighting module 3. At this time, a control switch can be provided on the lighting module 3 to control the lighting of the lighting module 3, or the lighting module 3 can be powered on and illuminated when the power connector is connected to the power supply port, and the lighting module 3 stops lighting when the power connector is disconnected from the power supply port.

[0040] The lighting module 3 surrounds the side wall of the body 1 near the bottom. The lighting module 3 is an arc that matches the outer contour of the body 1. When the lighting module 3 is illuminated, it shines above the grinding edge of the grinding disc 4, illuminating the grinding area to the greatest extent.

[0041] Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the lower end of the body 1 is provided with an outwardly expanded mounting portion 8, the diameter of which gradually decreases from bottom to top. The lighting module 3 is in the shape of a non-closed ring, with a notch 13 on one side of the lighting module 3. The lighting module 3 is supported on and connected to the mounting portion 8. The handle 2 is disposed transversely at the upper end of the body 1, and the grinding disc 4 is located below the mounting portion 8. When the lighting module 3 is mounted on the mounting portion 8, the light-emitting portion 10 protrudes from the edge of the mounting portion 8 to illuminate the lower portion. Preferably, the lighting module 3 is in the shape of a three-quarter to five-sixths ring.

[0042] Figure 7 As shown, the body portion between the handle 2 and the mounting portion 8 has a narrow portion 14, and the width of the narrow portion 14 is smaller than the width of the notch 13. After the lighting module 3 is disconnected from the mounting portion 8, the lighting module 3 can be moved upward so that the notch 13 is opposite to the narrow portion 14, and then the lighting module 3 can be removed from the body 1 by moving the lighting module 3 horizontally.

[0043] In addition, a plurality of positioning portions 11 are provided on the inner side of the lighting module 3 for contacting the outer contour of the body 1 to position the lighting module 3. Preferably, the number of the positioning portions 11 is three, and the three positioning portions 11 are evenly spaced on the inner peripheral side wall of the light-emitting portion 10. When the lighting module 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the body 1 and fixed on the mounting portion 8, the three positioning portions 11 are against the side wall of the mounting portion 8 to position the lighting module 3, so that the range illuminated by the positioning module can face the grinding disc 4 below. When the grinding tool is grinding, the positioning portion 11 also serves as a force-bearing part that bears vibration, preventing vibration from directly acting on the connection between the lighting module 3 and the mounting portion 8, making the connection between the lighting module 3 and the body 1 more stable.

[0044] Regarding the structure for disassembling the lighting module 3, this patent has another solution, the specific contents are as follows:

[0045] Figure 6 As shown, the handle 2 is provided with a narrow portion 14 opposite to the notch 13 of the lighting module 3 below. The width of the narrow portion 14 is smaller than the width of the notch 13. After the lighting module 3 is disconnected from the mounting portion 8, the lighting module 3 can be removed from the body 1 by moving the lighting module 3 upward.

[0046] The above describes the lighted handheld grinding tool and the light structure for use with the grinding tool provided by the present invention. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are intended only to facilitate understanding of the present invention and its core concepts. It should be noted that those skilled in the art may, without departing from the principles of the present invention, make various improvements and modifications to the present invention, and such improvements and modifications fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
