Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of angle grinder technology, specifically a rounded corner grinder. Background Technology

[0002] Rounding grinders, indispensable surface finishing equipment in manufacturing, are specifically designed to create rounded transition angles of specific radii on the edges of metal, wood, and composite material workpieces. Their core working principle involves a motor-driven high-speed rotating grinding tool that uses mechanical friction to eliminate burrs, flash, and sharp angles generated during cutting, stamping, or casting, resulting in a smooth contour that meets safety standards and functional requirements. In the manufacturing of high-end products such as automotive body panel molds, aero-engine blade tenons, and precision instrument housings, the geometric accuracy and surface integrity of the rounded corners directly determine the fatigue strength, hydrodynamic performance, and assembly reliability of the components, making them a key quality indicator for measuring manufacturing quality.

[0003] While current mainstream handheld corner grinders offer the advantage of mobility, they face significant ergonomic challenges and precision control difficulties in actual operation. Operators must overcome the physical strain caused by the machine's weight and high-frequency vibrations, while precisely controlling three dimensions of motion parameters: the normal pressure applied to the workpiece surface, the movement trajectory of the grinding wheel along the edge, and the angle between the grinding wheel axis and the workpiece surface. Due to the lack of effective force feedback and path guidance mechanisms, manual operation inevitably produces significant deviations: pressure fluctuations lead to uneven grinding depth, trajectory deviations cause distortion of the rounded corner profile, and inaccurate angles result in transition zone collapse or residual edges. These problems are particularly prominent when working on large curved workpieces or during long-term continuous operation, severely restricting the stability of processing quality.

[0004] The aforementioned control deficiencies triggered a series of chain reactions and negative effects: Geometric precision deviations led to product malfunctions; for example, stress concentration caused the fatigue life at the sharp corners of the gearbox housing to plummet from 10^7 cycles to 10^5 cycles, increasing the risk of early fracture by 70%. Production economics deteriorated simultaneously, requiring a secondary polishing process to repair defects, and causing abnormal wear of the grinding wheel due to localized overload, resulting in an overall increase in unit processing costs of 28%-45%. More seriously, operators, while continuously resisting equipment vibration, endured vibration doses exceeding the ISO 5349 standard limit of 125% for extended periods, leading to an occupational carpal tunnel syndrome incidence rate of 22%. Uncontrolled grinders also easily caused grinding disc shattering and scattering accidents, posing a substantial threat to safe production. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problem that manual operation of current handheld corner grinders inevitably leads to significant deviations, resulting in uneven grinding depth and trajectory deviation causing distortion of the R-angle profile.

The positioning pins are fixedly mounted on the guide plate. The multiple positioning pins clamp and fix the workpiece to be processed, so that the corner position of the workpiece to be processed is fixed in the cutting area of ​​the rounded end mill.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the guide rail includes a top plate, multiple connecting columns, and a bottom plate that are fixedly connected in sequence, and the guide plate is provided with multiple guide holes that cooperate with the connecting columns.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the positioning post is fixed vertically downward on the guide plate, and several return springs are provided between the guide plate and the top plate, with the return springs sleeved on the outside of the connecting post.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the base plate is provided with a clearance groove, the contour of which is adapted to the geometry of the workpiece to be processed, so that the workpiece is positioned without interference.

The bolt-type C-shaped clamp detachably fixes the guide rail to the bakelite milling machine by radial locking force.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention utilizes a guide rail system perpendicular to the milling cutter axis, allowing a sliding guide plate to drive a fixed frame to clamp the workpiece along a straight feed, ensuring precise positioning of the workpiece's edges and corners within the milling cutter's cutting zone and significantly improving the accuracy of rounded corner machining. Multiple positioning pins combined with a contoured clearance groove design allow for quick clamping of rectangular and irregularly shaped workpieces. A return spring buffers cutting vibrations, preventing overcutting due to workpiece displacement, while the handle keeps the operator's hand away from the cutter head, completely eliminating the risk of cutting injuries. In practical applications in solid wood furniture processing, the yield rate reached 98.7%, with a processing efficiency of 30 pieces / hour and a surface roughness Ra < 3.2μm, providing a cost-effective and precise machining solution for small-batch, multi-variety production.
