2. Description of the Related Art In order to precisely machine a concave surface of a disk-shaped ceramics flat plate having a concave surface to a predetermined dimensional accuracy, the ceramics flat plate 1 is attached to a spindle 2 of an inner surface grinding machine or a milling machine as shown in FIG. while rotating around the central axis C 0, it is usual to carry out the grinding by shafted grindstone 3 which rotates about the central axis C 0 axis parallel C 1 of the ceramic plate 1. At this time, if the grindstone 3 with a shaft is formed as a full-form grindstone having a tapered surface 4 at the tip, the tip surface 5 of the grindstone 3 with a shaft engraves the concave bottom surface 6 and the tapered surface 4 of the grindstone 3 with a shaft carves Concave slope 7
Will be ground. Further, even in the case of the grindstone 9 with a shaft having no taper surface as shown in FIG. 4, if the grinder with an NC device is used, the grindstone 9 with a shaft is caused to perform an operation like an arrow A to form a concave surface. The bottom surface 6 and the slope 7 can be ground.

However, in the method of FIG. 3, since the tip surface 5 of the grindstone 3 with a shaft comes into surface contact with the ceramic flat plate 1,
The contact surface generates a large amount of heat and the grinding resistance increases. As a result, it is necessary to frequently perform the dressing of the grindstone with a shaft 3 and the workability is poor. Considering the life of the grindstone, it is necessary to use the grindstone with a shaft 3 in which coarse abrasive grains are bonded by a hard bond, and further the grinding resistance is further increased. Ascending and using a resin bond grindstone for finishing, but in this case as well, since the load on the resin bond grindstone is large, the depth of cut is 20μ per pass.
It has to be less than m and there is a problem that it takes a long time to finish.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the ceramic flat plate 1 is attached to a spindle 2 of an end face grinding machine or a milling machine and rotated about its central axis C 0 , while the ceramic flat plate 1 is rotated with respect to the central axis C 0 of the ceramic flat plate 1. It is also conceivable to carry out the grinding process by means of a disk-shaped grindstone 8 with a shaft that rotates around a perpendicular axis C 2 . This method differs from the methods shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 in that the grindstone 8 with a shaft and the ceramic flat plate 1 make a line contact, so that the amount of heat generated at the contact portion is small and the grinding resistance is also small.

However, in this method, as shown in FIG.
When the grindstone 8 with a shaft is approached to the carved concave slope 7, the grindstone A with a shaft 8 and the ceramic flat plate 1 are in line contact with each other before the ground portion A comes into contact with the slope 7. The corner portions B on both sides of the contact surface contact the slope 7. Therefore, in practice, as shown in FIG. 5, a grindstone 8 with a shaft is attached to the lower end of the slope 7.
However, there was a problem that the slope 7 could not be ground to an accurate slope.

In the present invention, as shown in the drawing, the tapered surface 13 of the grindstone with a shaft 10 can be brought into contact with the bottom surface 6 of the concave engraving surface of the ceramic flat plate 1, and the cylindrical surface 12 can be brought into contact with the sloped surface 7 of the concave engraving surface. Tilt the whetstone 10 with a shaft.
Then, while rotating the grindstone 10 with a shaft around the axis C 3 inclined in this way, the concave surface is engraved while moving along the surface of the ceramic flat plate 1 as indicated by the arrow.

With such a processing method, a grindstone with a shaft
Both the tapered surface 13 and the cylindrical surface 12 of 10 are ceramic flat plates 1
Since the grinding is performed in a state of being in line contact with, the amount of heat generation is small and the grinding resistance is small. As a result, the life of the grindstone is extended, frequent dressing is not required, and the surface accuracy is Ra = 0.4 μm or less. Further, according to this method, as shown in FIG. 1, the cylindrical surface 12 of the grindstone 10 with a shaft can be accurately brought into contact with the sloped concave surface 7, so that the sloped surface 7 can be processed into a desired shape. .

As shown in FIG. 2, in the case of a grinder equipped with an NC device, even if the cylindrical surface 12 of the grindstone 10 with a shaft is not brought into contact with the slope 7, the tapered surface 13 is used to form an arrow A. The slope 7 can be processed by various operations.

The inclination angle α formed by the axis C 3 of the grindstone 10 with the axis with respect to the central axis C 0 of the ceramic flat plate 1 is 2 to 20.
It is preferable to set the frequency. This is because if the inclination angle α is less than 2 degrees, it becomes difficult to supply the cooling liquid between the tapered surface 13 of the grindstone with a shaft 10 and the bottom surface 6 of the engraved concave surface of the ceramic flat plate 1, and a grinding failure is likely to occur. This is because. On the contrary, if the inclination angle α becomes large, the shape of the slope 7 is limited, and the versatility is reduced, which is not preferable. As the inclination angle α increases, the component force f (Fsin α) of the grinding force F increases as shown in FIG. 1, and when the grindstone 10 with a small diameter shaft is used, it acts on the shaft 11 of the grindstone 10 with shaft. Since the bending load becomes large and vibration or breakage may occur during grinding, it is preferable that the inclination angle α is small, and the upper limit of the inclination angle α is about 20 degrees in the concave surface machining of φ25 or more.

The axial length L of the tapered surface 13 of the grindstone with a shaft 10 is preferably 2 to 5 mm. This is because when the length L is less than 2 mm, the bottom surface 6 of the engraved concave surface becomes a spiral shape and the surface accuracy deteriorates. On the contrary, when it exceeds 5 mm, the load on the grindstone 10 with a shaft increases and chatter vibration occurs, resulting in engraving. This is because the concave bottom surface 6 becomes corrugated and the surface accuracy is likely to deteriorate.
