[0001] DISC GRINDING UNIT BY CRUSHING

[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The invention relates to a grinding unit configured for sharpening soil cultivation discs.

[0004] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0005] Soil cultivation discs are one of the essential elements used in agricultural activities for plowing, breaking, and mixing the soil. These discs, which are particularly included in disc harrow machines, create deep cuts on the soil surface, thereby enabling more efficient soil processing. In addition, the production process of soil cultivation discs requires a special grinding operation. During the production phase, the discs must be sharp and durable. In this way, proper soil processing is ensured. The raw discs produced are generally subjected to a surface treatment and a grinding stage. However, in traditional methods, grinding the discs manually or using standard chip-removal grinding machines is timeconsuming. Grinding the discs at correct angles during the production process is of great importance in terms of enabling the disc to operate at high performance throughout its service life. During manual grinding processes, it is difficult to obtain homogeneous grinding because the disc cannot be properly fixed in position. Furthermore, when fast and efficient grinding of the disc is required on the production line, existing systems may slow down the workflow and prevent proper grinding of the discs. Additionally, in the chipremoval grinding method, problems such as reduced strength in the thinner portions of the disc occur.

[0006] As a result, all the abovementioned problems have made it necessary to make an improvement in the relevant technical field.

[0007] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The present invention relates to a grinding unit configured for sharpening soil cultivation discs, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and to provide new advantages to the relevant technical field. An object of the invention is to provide a soil cultivation disc grinding unit in an easy and fast manner.

[0009] In order to achieve all the objectives mentioned above and those that will become apparent from the detailed description below, the present invention is a grinding unit configured for sharpening soil cultivation discs. Accordingly, its novelty lies in that it comprises at least one first body having at least one upper holder and at least one lower holder between which the disc to be subjected to the grinding process is placed; at least one second body having at least one upper roller and at least one lower roller positioned in the vicinity of each other such that the edge portion of the disc held between the upper holder and the lower holder can enter between them for grinding the disc; the first body and the second body are connected to a main frame such that at least one of them has freedom of movement to approach and move away from the other. Thus, fast, simple, and proper sharpening of soil cultivation discs is achieved.

[0010] A feature of a possible embodiment of the invention is that it comprises at least one protective frame provided on the first body to prevent the dispersion of metal dust generated during the grinding process. In this way, dispersion of the dust generated during the process is prevented, ensuring environmental cleanliness and safety.

[0011] A feature of another possible embodiment of the invention is that the protective frame comprises a transparent element to allow observation of the grinding process. In this way, the operator can easily observe the grinding process.

[0012] A feature of another possible embodiment of the invention is that it comprises at least one holder drive element for generating drive to rotate one of the lower holder or the upper holder around a first axis passing through the center of the soil cultivation disc. In this way, secure and homogeneous grinding is ensured.

[0013] A feature of another possible embodiment of the invention is that at least one of the upper roller and the lower roller in the roller group is configured with freedom of movement to approach and move away from the other.

[0016] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] In this detailed description, the subject of the invention is described utilizing examples only for clarifying the subject matter such that no limiting effect is created.

[0018] Figure 1 shows a representative isometric view of a grinding unit (10) configured for sharpening soil cultivation discs, which is the subject of the invention. Soil cultivation discs are an indispensable part of agricultural activities and are particularly used in disc harrow machines. These discs are used for cutting the soil and performing breaking, crumbling, and mixing operations. In the production process of soil cultivation discs, the discs must be ground. Accordingly, at least one grinding unit (10) is included for sharpening the soil cultivation discs. The sharpening of soil cultivation discs is generally carried out by manual methods or standard grinding machines. However, these methods make it difficult to achieve proper and homogeneous grinding of the discs. Moreover, the chip-removal grinding method is more costly due to tool expenses, the disposal of chip waste, occupational health and safety requirements, and increased raw material

[0019] During the grinding process, challenges such as displacement of the discs, dispersion of chips into the environment, and the inability to achieve homogeneous grinding may arise. The grinding unit (10) eliminates all these challenges. Accordingly, the grinding unit comprises at least one main frame (11). The main frame (11) serves as a structural support in the grinding unit. The grinding unit (10) includes two main bodies. The grinding unit comprises at least one first body (20) and at least one second body (30). The mentioned first body (20) and the second body (30) are connected to the main frame (11) with at least one of them having freedom of movement to approach and move away from the other. The first body (20) and the second body (30) are positioned on the main frame (11 ). The first body (20) comprises at least one upper holder (221) and at least one lower holder (222) for securing and rotating the soil cultivation disc during grinding.

[0020] It comprises at least one holder drive element for generating drive to rotate one of the lower holder (222) or the upper holder (221) around a first axis (I) passing through the center of the soil cultivation disc. In a possible embodiment of the invention, the drivegenerating holder drive element is positioned on the upper holder (221). The soil cultivation disc placed on the lower holder (222) is clamped and rotated by the upper holder (221). In another possible embodiment of the invention, the soil cultivation disc placed on the lower holder (222) is clamped by the upper holder (221 ) and rotated by the lower holder drive element. In this way, the soil cultivation disc is securely held in place and displacement during the grinding process is prevented. The holder drive element allows the robot to place the disc in the correct position on the machine in robotic lines. The lower holder (222) or the upper holder (221 ) rotates the soil cultivation disc on the first body (20) at the rotational center of the first axis (I). The first axis (I) passes through the center point of the lower holder (222) and the upper holder (221 ). The upper holder (221 ) or the lower holder (222) clamps the disc in the direction of the first axis (I).

[0021] Figure 2 shows a representative side view of a grinding unit (10) configured for sharpening soil cultivation discs, which is the subject of the invention. Accordingly, the grinding unit comprises at least one roller group (31) for performing the grinding process. The mentioned roller group (31 ) is connected to the second body (30). The second body (30) comprises at least one upper roller (311) and at least one lower roller (312) that carry out the grinding operation. The mentioned upper roller (311 ) and lower roller (312) are positioned in the vicinity of each other such that the edge portion of the disc can enter between them for grinding. In the roller group (31), at least one of the upper roller (311) and the lower roller (312) is positioned with freedom of movement to approach and move away from the other. Since at least one of the upper roller (311 ) or the lower roller (312) can approach and move away from the other, soil cultivation discs of different thicknesses can be easily adapted to the grinding unit (10). In this way, the user can process discs of various sizes with a single grinding unit (10). Thus, the workflow is accelerated, and the grinding process is made compatible with the structure of each disc. The upper roller (311) and the lower roller (312) rotate around their own axes. In this way, they grind the soil cultivation disc by crushing.

[0022] The second body (30) or the first body (20) has freedom of movement such that at least one of them can approach and move away from the other in the direction of the second axis (II). The second axis (II) and the first axis (I) are perpendicular to each other. In the preferred embodiment for enabling movement along the second axis (II), motion is provided on a guide rail. In one possible embodiment of the invention, the second body (30) can approach and move away from the first body (20) on the rail. In another possible embodiment of the invention, the first body (20) can approach and move away from the second body (30). In this way, the distance of the rollers to the disc is automatically adjusted for processing the soil cultivation discs. In one possible embodiment of the invention, the upper roller (311) approaches the lower roller (312) to perform grinding. In another possible embodiment of the invention, the lower roller (312) approaches the upper roller (311 ) to perform grinding. In this way, the edges of the soil cultivation disc are ground evenly, allowing both sides of the disc to process the soil at the same rate during agricultural operations. The grinding unit (10) comprises at least one drive element (40) that provides power for the rotational and approach / withdrawal movement of the roller group (31). The drive element (40) is positioned on the second body (30) in the preferred embodiment. It provides the necessary drive to the roller group (31). With the power received from the drive element (40), the roller group (31) grinds the soil cultivation disc.

[0023] One of the problems encountered during the sharpening of soil cultivation discs is the dispersion of metal chips into the environment. This situation poses a risk in terms of occupational safety and also contaminates the work area. Accordingly, the grinding unit (10) comprises at least one protective frame (12) provided on the first body (20) to prevent the dispersion of metal dust generated during the grinding process. The protective frame (12) included in the invention is designed to prevent the spread of dust to the outside. The protective frame (12) comprises a transparent element to enable observation of the grinding process. The transparent structure of the protective frame (12) allows the operator to observe the grinding process. In this way, the operator can continuously observe the sharpening condition of the disc and intervene when necessary. Preventing the spread of dust not only provides cleanliness but also offers a significant advantage in terms of the operator’s health and safety.
