Technical Field

The present invention relates to providing ease of operation by means of the conical motor shaft and the practical fixing bolts and apparatus thereof that are developed accordingly, without the need of showing an effort for individually removing and installing each disc in corrosion and polishing machines when it is desired to place the cutting group or metal group (gold, silver, etc. processing) instead of the corrosion disc group.

Prior Art

Corrosion and polishing machines consist of a body, a motor in the body, a shaft that is connected to the motor on both sides and rotates with the motor movement, discs that are connected to the shafts and used for polishing, shaping, polishing, and similar processes. The rotation speed of the discs is adjusted according to the speed ranges that change in accordance with the operations to be performed. This speed range adjustment is provided by the potentiometer positioned on the machine. There are coatings suitable for the process to be performed on said discs. Plurality of ring- shaped discs, which have emery thereon and which perform shaping with emery diamonds can be connected to these shafts for shaping.

In the state of the art, shaping can be performed in a dry manner in addition to polishing, cleaning, varnishing, and similar processes. However, this use causes the surfaces on the disc to get warm, wear, burn and similar friction-induced damage over time depending on the length of use.

In the state of the art, the discs should be changed after they are damaged. In order for the rear or middle discs to be changed, the triple disc set must be completely removed and then repositioned. This process causes loss of time and axial dislocation of the discs due to the fact that the discs cannot be compressed in the same way at every turn. Problems in the state of the art necessitated an R.&D study in the relevant field.

Objects of the Invention

The object of the present invention is to ensure the assembly of the new group at once and practically without the need of individually removing and installing each disc, new disc, and/or group, and/or blades, by means of the conical motor shaft and the developed practical fixing bolts and apparatus thereof connected thereto in corrosion and polishing machines when it is desired to place the cutting group or metal group instead of the corrosion disc group.

The subject of the invention is the conical shaft structure in the corrosion and polishing machines, and aims to prevent time loss by connecting and removing new apparatuses with a shaft group without performing extra process on the engine by means of the conical shape thereof.

The corrosion and polishing machine (3) of the present invention, which can be seen in Figure 2 consists of a body, an engine in the body, an on-off button on the body, a potentiometer (2), a conical shaft (1) extending on both sides of the body, a conical carrier shaft (5), which is engaged and connected on the conical shaft (1) by pushing, discs (4) positioned on the conical carrier shaft (5), a flange (8) that ensures the complete connection of the discs (4) engaging on the carrier shaft (5), and a thin flange (7) that fixes the system, a nut (10) that ensures the connection of the conical shaft (1) and the carrier shaft (5) by completely tightening, and screw (6).

In the conical structure of the present invention, there is a conical and/or carved shaft end socket (12) on the inside of the thin end of the shaft (1) seen in Figure 1. The inner part of the carrier shaft (5), the detail of which can be seen in Figure 3, where the discs (4) are positioned, is nested, and it is conically shaped to fit the shaft (1) in conical structure. Thus, the carrier shaft (5) and the conical structure engages tightly on the shaft (1). The conical carrier shaft (5) is connected by engaging on the conical shaft (1). The grooved protrusion (9) located at the end of the carrier shaft (5) is completely connected with the nut (10). In order to ensure that the system is fully interconnected, it was ensured that the carrier shaft (5) is fixed by screwing the last connected screw (6) to the shaft end socket (12) of the conical shaft (1), which is seated in the conical socket of the carrier shaft

(5), by means of the hollow and conical shape of the carrier shaft (5). (Figure - 4).

In the prior art, if the disks were damaged in any way, the disk structures required to be removed individually. By means of the conical shaft (1), which is the subject of the invention, the disc (4) group can be easily installed and removed, and the disc (4) group, which is removed together with the carrier shaft (5), can be easily changed in case of damage to any disc (4) part.

Problems such that the discs (4) are not completely seated and screwed are also eliminated by means of the conical shaft (1) of the present invention. The conical inner structure of the shafts (1) in the conical structure coming out of the machine body and the carrier shaft (5) engaging thereon are completely seated, and then they are easily connected to each other with bolts.

The shaft end socket (12), the inner part of which is nested and shaped conical at the end of the conical shaft (1) creates the gap in which the threaded screw (6) structure is screwed while the system is closed after the carrier shaft (5) is screwed to the conical shaft (1) and after the discs (4) are fixed with flanges (8) and thin flange (7). The screw thread (11), which is characterized at the end of the screw

(6) and which is screwed together with the shaft end socket (12), fits completely in the shaft end socket (12) ensuring that the system is tightly connected. The flange (8) ensures that the discs (4) remain tightly in place after they are connected to the carrier shaft (5), and the carrier shaft (5) and the thin flange (7) is completely closed, and the discs (4) are fixed. This prevents the discs (4) from moving or dislocating together with the increasing engine speed. (Figure - 4 )

The conical shaft (1) in the corrosion and polishing machines of the present invention provides the advantage of preventing time loss by easily connecting and removing the new apparatus to the machine with a conical carrier shaft (5) group, without performing any extra process on the motor.

By means of the conical shaft (1) located on both sides of the corrosion and polishing machine (3), disc (4) sets can be attached to both sides if desired, and optionally, its use can be diversified by attaching the disc (4) set on one side and the cutting saw (13) or flat lap (14) on the other side.

By means of the replaceable conical shaft (1) system, which is the subject of the invention, disc groups such as:

- Coarse Corrosion Group (3 discs on the left of the machine)

- Fine Corrosion Group (3 discs on the right of the machine)

- Cutting Group (1 saw on the right of the machine)

- Coarse Metal Corrosion Group (2 discs on the left of the machine)

- Metal Polishing Group (2 felt discs on the left of the machine)

- Metal Brushing Group (1 brush disc on the left of the machine)

- Metal Brushing Group (1 brush disc on the right of the machine) are used. Coarse corrosion, fine corrosion, and cutting groups are the converted groups of the present invention, which are currently used in corrosion and polishing machines (3). Coarse metal corrosion, metal polishing, and metal brushing groups have become usable in the same machine by means of the replaceable conical shaft (1). Thus, the processing of gold, silver, and similar metals has been made possible in a single machine. By means of the subject of the invention, changing between the apparatuses is easily provided at once by means of the conical shaft (1) and the conical bearing shafts (5) instead of removing the apparatuses on the motor shaft (1) individually. As an exem embodiment cutting saw (13) seen in Figure 5, which is attached to the conical shaft (1) when it is desired yo perform different operations, is positioned on the conical shaft (1) by means of the cutting saw shaft (5.1). The inner part of the cutting saw shaft (5.1) is conically shaped in accordance with the conical shaft (1). The tip of the cutting saw shaft (5.1) screwed to the conical shaft (1) is grooved. The cutting saw shaft (5.1) is engaged to the conical shaft (1). After the cutting saw (13) is engaged, nut (10) is connected to the cutting saw shaft groove (18), and tightly positions the part of the cutting saw (13) to the body. (Figure - 6) Then, it is engaged into the cutting saw shaft (5.1), and the system is tightly closed by connecting the screw (6), end of which is grooved, to the shaft end socket (12) located at the end of the conical shaft (1) seated in the cutting saw shaft (5.1).

As an exem embodiment the flat lap (14) seen in Figure 7, which is attached when it is desired to be connected to the conical shaft (1) and to perform different operations, is conically shaped in one piece with the flat shaft (5.2) and the round part of the flap lap (14) such that the inside of the flat shaft (5.2) fits the conical shaft (1). The end of the flat shaft (5.2) that is connected to the conical shaft (1) is grooved and it ensures that the flat lap (14) part is completely screwed. Since the flat lap (14) is a metal part, a magnet (15) is attached thereto, and materials such as diamond emery (16) or felt (17) are attached to provide different application processes. (Figure- 8)

By means of the conical shaft (1) configuration, which is the subject of the invention, it is possible to easily switch between different applications in the corrosion and polishing machines (3), when disc (4) damages occur, operations such as replacing the damaged part can be performed ergonomically by easily removing the carrier shaft (5) connected to the disc (4), thereby eliminating the time loss between the processes.
