Abstract
A rotary brush for the removal of a coating from a plate of glass comprises a supporting body designed to be connected to a rotating shaft, and a bundle of metal bristles anchored to the supporting body and defining a front surface for removal by abrasion of the coating. Mounted on the supporting body of the brush is a skirting body surrounding the bundle of bristles that leaves exposed only an end portion of the lateral surface of the bundle of bristles. The skirting body can be adjusted axially in position with respect to the supporting body according to the reduction in length of the bristles due to wear. The skirting body has a substantially tubular shape and comprises a rear portion for coupling to the supporting body and a front portion defining an annular band designed to receive and contain radially the end portion of the bundle of bristles.
Description
- The present invention relates to the field of machines for processing plates of glass, and in particular to a rotary brush for removal of a coating from a plate of glass.
- Plates of glass for the production of double glazings have one of their faces typically provided with a reflective metal coating. Said low-emission (low-e) coating serves to increase the thermal efficiency, i.e., the insulating properties of the plate of glass. In the production of glazing, it is necessary to remove a portion of coating, normally along a strip adjacent to the edges of the plate to enable a good grip on the glass of the adhesive that is used in the assemblage of the plate of glass on the frame of the double glazing.
- Currently used are simple rotary brushes for the removal of the coating. The length of the bristles of said brushes must be very short to prevent the bristles from splaying out during use as a result of the centrifugal force that generates removal of a non-precise width (generally the width of the strip of coating to be removed is in the region of 20 mm). A drawback of this solution is that of having a reduced exploitation of the brush, with consequent need for frequent replacements.
- A known solution (
WO 2008/107087 A1 ) envisages the use of a rolling bearing surrounding the bristles of the brush and carried by the structure of a processing head on which the brush is rotatably mounted. Also this solution presents some drawbacks. The bearing used must be of a special type designed to withstand a high r.p.m, approximately 24,000 r.p.m. As is known, said bearings are very sensitive to the dust resulting from removal of the coating. Consequently, it is indispensable to have a control and protection of the bearing from dust. Moreover, to ensure a good precision of removal it is indispensable to guarantee concentricity between the brush and the bearing. Replacement of the brush hence becomes a complex operation that calls for a skilled operator. Finally, there is a remaining part of brush that cannot be used that is equal at least to the height of the bearing itself (about 6 mm). - The object of the present invention is to provide a rotary brush for the removal of a coating along portions of a plate of glass that will be able to carry out removal of the aforesaid coating in a fast and efficient way, will have a relatively simple and reliable structure, will enable exploitation of the greatest possible length of the bristles of the brush, will enable easy adaptation of the brush to the width of the strip of coating that is to be removed, and finally may be adapted and readily integrated in machines for processing plates of glass of various types.
- A further object of the invention is to obtain the aforesaid result with a brush that is relatively simple and presents a low cost.
- With a view to achieving said purposes, the subject of the invention is a rotary brush for removal of a coating from a plate of glass, comprising:
- a supporting body designed to be connected to a rotating shaft; and
- a bundle of metal bristles anchored to the supporting body and defining a front surface for removal by abrasion of the coating,
- In a preferred embodiment, the supporting body comprises a stem portion for connection to a rotating shaft, a first cylindrical portion for coupling to the skirting body, and a second cylindrical portion having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the first cylindrical portion and defining at least one cavity designed to receive and withhold the terminal portion of the bundle of bristles opposite to the end portion left exposed by the skirting body.
- Preferably, the skirting body has a substantially tubular shape and comprises a rear portion for coupling to the supporting body and a front portion defining an annular band designed to receive and contain radially the end portion of the bundle of bristles.
- It is moreover possible to envisage that the rear portion of the skirting body presents a plurality of plane side faces for engagement with a tightening tool.
- In a preferred embodiment, the skirting body and the supporting body are axially connected together in a non-separable and adjustable way by threaded-coupling means. In particular, the threaded-coupling means comprise a thread on the outer surface of the first cylindrical portion of the supporting body and a corresponding thread on the inner surface of the rear portion of the skirting body.
- In a preferred embodiment, the internal cavity of the skirting body gives out onto the front portion with a mouth of smaller diameter in such a way as to define a contrast element designed to co-operate with the free end of the second cylindrical portion of the supporting body to define an end-of-travel position of screwing of the skirting body on the supporting body.
- Preferably, there is moreover provided a locknut, the internal thread of which is designed to co-operate with the thread on the outer surface of the first cylindrical portion of the supporting body for blocking and holding in position the skirting body on the supporting body.
- The invention will now be described, purely by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the figures of the annexed plates of drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 andFigure 3 are schematic views of a brush according to the invention, in a condition where the brush is new and a condition where the brush is to be replaced, respectively; -
Figure 2 andFigure 4 are cross-sectional views of the brushes ofFigure 1 and3 , respectively; and -
Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view of a brush according to the invention. - With reference to the figures, a rotary brush is designated as a whole by the
reference number 1. Thebrush 1 comprises a supportingbody 2 and a bundle ofmetal bristles 3 anchored to the supportingbody 2. - With particular reference to
Figure 5 , the supportingbody 2 comprises astem portion 2a for connection to a rotating shaft (not illustrated in the figures) of a processing head of a machine for processing plates of glass. In the figures, the axis A indicates the axis of rotation of the brush. The supportingbody 2 further comprises, in a single piece, a firstcylindrical portion 2b connected, at one of its ends, to thestem portion 2a and, at the other end, to a secondcylindrical portion 2c. The secondcylindrical portion 2c has a smaller diameter than the firstcylindrical portion 2b and receives within it the bundle ofbristles 3. The three portions that make up the supporting body are all coaxial. - In particular, in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the bundle of
bristles 3 is made up of six sub-bundles of bristles, having a substantially frusto-conical shape, set within the secondcylindrical portion 2c so as to create a substantially annularfront surface 3a for removal by abrasion of the coating from a plate of glass (not illustrated in the figures). In particular, the substantially annular front surface of the abrasive brush comes into contact with the plane surface of the plate for removing the coating thereof. - The second
cylindrical portion 2c is shaped in such a way as to receive and withhold within it theterminal portion 3d of the aforesaid bundles of bristles. In particular, in the case of the embodiment illustrated sixcavities 2d are provided, within which the corresponding terminal portions of the bundles of bristles are received with interference. - With reference to
Figures 1 to 4 , mounted in an axially adjustable way on the supportingbody 2 of the brush is askirting body 5 of a substantially tubular shape. Saidskirting body 5 surrounds the bundle ofbristles 3 and leaves exposed only anend portion 3c of thelateral surface 3b of the bundle of bristles. Theend portion 3c is the free portion of the bundle of bristles opposite to theterminal portion 3d fixed to the supportingbody 2. - With reference to the figures, the
skirting body 5 can be adjusted axially in position with respect to the supportingbody 2 according to the reduction in length of the bristles due to wear. - In particular,
Figures 1 and2 refer to the condition where the brush is new, i.e., it has not yet been used, whilstFigures 3 and4 refer to a condition where the bristles of the brush are worn and have a shorter length than those illustrated inFigures 1 and2 , and theskirting body 5 is in its position of maximum raising (with reference to the figures). - With particular reference to
Figure 5 , theskirting body 5 has a substantially tubular shape and comprises arear portion 5a for coupling to the supportingbody 2 of the brush, and afront portion 5b defining an annular band designed to receive and contain radially theend portion 3c of the bundle of bristles. - The internal cavity of the
skirting body 5 gives out onto thefront portion 5b with amouth 6 of smaller diameter in such a way as to define a contrast element designed to co-operate with the free end of the secondcylindrical portion 2c of the supportingbody 2 and define the end-of-travel position of maximum raising of theskirting body 5 on the supportingbody 2. - As may be seen in the perspective views and in the cross-sectional views, the
skirting body 5 and the supportingbody 2 are connected together in a non-separable and adjustable way by threaded-coupling means. - In particular, provided on the outer surface of the first
cylindrical portion 2b of the supportingbody 2 is a thread designed to co-operate with a corresponding thread provided on the inner surface of therear portion 5a of theskirting body 5. - The
rear portion 5a of theskirting body 5 has a plurality of plane side faces 5c (Figure 5 ) for engagement with a manoeuvring tool, such as, for example, a wrench for tightening. - Moreover, the use of a
locknut 4 is envisaged, the internal thread of which co-operates with the thread present on the outer surface of the firstcylindrical portion 2b of the supportingbody 2 for blocking and holding in position theskirting body 5 on the supportingbody 2. - The orientation of the thread present on the supporting
body 2 and on theskirting body 5 is such that, during use of the brush, rotation of the latter tends to screw theskirting body 5 further on the supportingbody 2. - The width of removal can be readily varied by replacing the
skirting body 5 and choosing another one, themouth 6 of which has a different diameter. - With reference to
Figure 5 , during the operations of mounting of the brush the supportingbody 2 is inserted within theskirting body 5 in the direction of the axis of rotation A. To facilitate said operation, normally thebristles 3 are surrounded by a removable band that helps to hold the bundles of bristles axially contained. Once the brush has been inserted into theskirting body 5, the band is eliminated and then the skirting body can be screwed on the supporting body so as to leave only an end portion of the bundle of bristles exposed. Finally, thelocknut 4 is fitted on the supportingbody 2 at an end opposite to the one on which theskirting body 5 is mounted, i.e., on the part of thestem portion 2a. Thelocknut 4 is screwed on thecylindrical portion 2b until it comes to bear upon therear portion 5a of theskirting body 5. Finally, thelocknut 4 is tightened so as to generate between the supportingbody 2 and theskirting body 5 elastic forces that tend to hold the two bodies together. - Upon initial use of the brush, the
skirting body 5 is positioned in the condition illustrated inFigure 2 . With the decrease in length of the bristles of the brush due to wear, the operator can now and again reposition theskirting body 5 in a more raised position in such a way as to leave a terminal portion of the bristles free that is always of the same length. This is done until theskirting body 5 reaches the end-of-travel position illustrated inFigure 4 , after which the brush can still be used for theresidual length 3c visible inFigure 4 . - Furthermore, adjustment of the
skirting body 5 may be rendered automatic, i.e., without requiring intervention by an operator. - The rotary brush according to the invention thus presents a very simple structure, enables maximum exploitation of the length of the bristles (the reduction in length in the case of the example illustrated may even amount to approximately 8/10 mm), and has a low cost.
- Of course, without prejudice to the principle of the invention, the details of construction and the embodiments may vary even significantly with respect to what has been described and illustrated herein purely by way of non-limiting example, without thereby departing from the scope of the invention, as defined by the ensuing claims.
