Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polishing tools and equipment, and in particular to a portable polishing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Grinding machines are commonly used tools in industrial manufacturing. They use a built-in motor to drive abrasive particles to interact with the workpiece surface, achieving grinding, polishing, and other surface treatments. With the development of electronic control technology, grinding machines have been gradually applied to various fields of industrial manufacturing. Among these, 3D printing, as an important branch of additive manufacturing, often requires further cleaning of its physical models, such as smoothing support columns or surface steps. Conventional grinding machines are wheel-type grinding machines, such as the portable wheel grinding machine disclosed in Chinese invention patent application publication number "CN109290911A," which uses a motor to drive the grinding wheel to grind the workpiece. However, because its grinding wheel has a sheet-like structure, and 3D printed parts are often irregular in shape and varying in size, this grinding machine is not suitable for grinding 3D printed parts.

[0003] To address this issue, the industry has adopted alternatives such as casting grinding machines. For example, Chinese invention patent application CN109290911A discloses a portable casting grinding machine. This machine includes a motor, a housing fixedly mounted on the motor, a motor spindle, and a handle. A sleeve is installed on the housing of the motor spindle, and the sleeve extends and retracts via threads on the housing. The sleeve is equipped with a locking mechanism, and the grinding wheel is connected to the motor spindle. Before grinding, the sleeve is adjusted to be flush with the grinding wheel. While this type of grinding machine can smooth the surface of workpieces, it is still unsuitable for grinding irregularly shaped 3D printed parts. Summary of the Invention

This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific examples, and various details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.

[0029] This utility model provides a portable polisher (hereinafter referred to as the polisher), which has the following structural features:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this grinder includes a main housing 01 and a grinding head chuck 06. A front housing 03 is detachably connected to the front end of the main housing 01. A main control board 04 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity 011 of the main housing 01, which can be fixed by screws or slots. The front housing 03 has a motor mounting cavity 031 and a shaft through hole 032. A cylindrical motor mounting bracket 033 can be fixedly mounted in the motor mounting cavity 031. The shaft through hole 032 connects to the motor mounting cavity 031 and is fitted with a bearing 034. The rotating rod 061 of the grinding head chuck 06 passes through the bearing 034 and is fixedly connected to the shaft 071 of the motor 07. A battery pack 041 and a control switch 042 are installed on the main control board 04. The motor 07 is electrically connected to the main control board 04, the control switch 042, and the battery pack 041. During use, turning on the control switch powers the motor via the battery pack. The motor drives the grinding chuck to rotate, and the chuck achieves stable high-speed rotation thanks to the limiting support of the rotating shaft through-hole and bearings. When grinding is required, simply select the appropriate grinding head according to the needs of the grinding interface and fix it into the grinding head chuck to begin grinding.

[0031] This grinder is easy to use; simply select and assemble the appropriate grinding head, hold the main housing, turn on the control switch, and begin grinding the workpiece. The process is simple, unaffected by power cord length, and portable. It is suitable for grinding irregularly shaped 3D printed parts, effectively solving the aforementioned technical problems in existing technologies.

[0032] To improve the polishing accuracy of 3D printed parts, in one embodiment, a camera assembly 08 is provided at the bottom of the front shell 03. The camera assembly 08 includes a camera 081 and a camera control board 082. The camera control board 082 is provided with a data storage module 083 and an information transceiver module 084. The data storage module 083 is electrically connected to the camera 081. The information transceiver module 084 can be connected to an external display device S via a wireless network. The camera control board 082 is electrically connected to the main control board 04.

[0033] Specifically, a camera mounting through-hole 035 is provided directly below the pivot through-hole 032 of the front shell 03, and a camera mounting bracket 036 is provided on one side of the axis of the motor mounting bracket 033. The front end of the camera mounting bracket 036 is a camera mounting boss 037, and the rear end of the camera mounting bracket 036 is a camera control board mounting bracket 038. The camera 081 is fixed to the inside of the camera mounting through-hole 035 through the camera mounting boss 037. When polishing the 3D printed part, the camera of this polishing machine is connected through an external display device (such as a mobile phone). The camera can focus on the interface to be polished, and the polishing status of the interface can be observed in real time, avoiding inadequate or excessive polishing.

[0034] To prevent the camera from being worn by debris during use, in one embodiment, a transparent baffle 085 is attached and fixed to the outside of the camera fixing through hole 035.

[0035] Optionally, the battery pack 041 is a lithium-ion battery pack or other rechargeable battery pack. The main control board 04 is equipped with a power display screen 043 and a charging module 045. Correspondingly, one side of the main housing 01 is provided with a power display window 012 and a power switch slot 013. A transparent plastic panel 015 is adhered and fixed to the outside of the power display window and power switch slot. A rear cover 016 is provided at the rear end of the main housing 01. The rear cover 016 is detachably connected to the rear end of the main housing 01 via a slot. The rear cover 016 is provided with a charging port 017, which can also serve as a data wired transmission port, for example, connecting to an external display device via a data cable. The rechargeable battery pack allows for repeated use of this grinder, and the battery level can be observed through the transparent plastic panel and the power display screen.

[0036] In addition, the main control board 04 is sleeved in the inner cavity 011 of the main housing 01 through the control board support frame 046, and the control switch 042 passes through the switch slot 013 and protrudes from the main housing.

[0037] In one embodiment, the chuck head 062 of the grinding head chuck 06 is detachably connected to the grinding head 09. The grinding head 09 includes a connecting shaft 091 and a grinding section 092. The grinding section 092 of the grinding head 09 has a conical grinding surface 092-1, a spherical grinding surface 092-2, a cylindrical grinding surface 092-3, or a flat grinding surface 092-4, etc. The grinding head is connected and fixed by inserting the connecting shaft into the grinding head chuck and rotating the grinding head chuck to clamp and fix the connecting shaft. During use, the grinding section grinds the interface to be ground. The grinding head with the corresponding grinding surface is selected according to the shape of the interface. For example, a grinding head with a flat grinding surface is used when grinding a flat surface, and a grinding head with a conical grinding surface is used when grinding a V-groove interface. It is worth noting that this grinding head chuck is a common structure for connecting drill bits to existing electric drills, and will not be described in detail here.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
