본 발명에 있어서, 연마휠(56)과 연마휠(58) 사이에는 가공할 버클(18)의 두께에 따라서 스페이서(60)가 개재될 수도 있다.In the present invention, the spacer 60 may be interposed between the polishing wheel 56 and the polishing wheel 58 depending on the thickness of the buckle 18 to be processed.

상기 연마휠(56),(58) 주위에는 안전커버(62)가 마련되어 있고, 이 안전커버(62)에는 예시도면에 표현이 생략된 집진기와 연결된 흡인도관(64)이 설치되어 있어서 버클(18)이 상기 연마휠(56),(58)로 연마될 때 발생되는 분진이 비산되지 않도록 집진기 쪽으로 배출해 줄 수 있도록 되어 있다. 그리고, 베드(10)에는 왕복대(14)의 왕복운동거리와 구동모터(52)의 작동을 제어해주는 2개의 리미트스위치(66),(68)가 설치되어 있다.A safety cover 62 is provided around the polishing wheels 56 and 58, and the safety cover 62 is provided with a suction conduit 64 connected to a dust collector, which is not shown in the exemplary drawings, so that the buckle 18 is provided. ) Is discharged to the dust collector so that dust generated when the polishing wheels 56 and 58 are polished is not scattered. The bed 10 is provided with two limit switches 66 and 68 for controlling the reciprocating distance of the carriage 14 and the operation of the driving motor 52.

도면중 미설명 부호 70은 작업자가 발로 밟아서 조작하는 메인스위치인 풋트 스위치 이다.In the figure, reference numeral 70 denotes a foot switch, which is a main switch which is operated by an operator's foot.

이와 같이 구성된 본 발명은 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이 왕복대(14)가 우측에 정지되어 있는 상태에서 작업자가 버클(18)을 지그(20)의 제 1 가동블럭(26)과 제 2 가동블럭(30)으로 셋팅시켜준 다음 풋트 스위치(70)를 밟으면 왕복대(14)에 고정된 에어실린더(44)의 피스턴로드(42)가 하강하여 그 단부에 있는 패드(40)가 버클(18)의 윗면을 눌러주게 되고, 이어서 베드(10)에 고정된 에어실린더(46)의 피스턴로드(48)가 전진하게 되어서 버클(18)이 고정된 지그(20)와 왕복대(14)가 연마휠(56),(58) 쪽으로 이동하게 된다.According to the present invention configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 2, the operator moves the buckle 18 to the first movable block 26 and the second movable block of the jig 20 while the carriage 14 is stopped at the right side. (30) and then press the foot switch 70, the piston rod 42 of the air cylinder 44 fixed to the carriage 14 is lowered, the pad 40 at its end is buckle 18 The piston rod 48 of the air cylinder 46 fixed to the bed 10 is advanced, and then the jig 20 and the carriage 14 on which the buckle 18 is fixed are moved to the polishing wheel. To 56, 58.

이때 리미트스위치(66)에 의해서 구동모터(52)와 표현이 생략된 집진기가 작동하게 되어 버클(18)이 회전하는 연마휠(56),(58)들에 의해서 한 변의 위, 아래쪽 가장자리가 함께 얇게 연마되고, 이때 발생된 분진은 안전커버(62)에 설치된 흡인도관(64)을 통해서 집진기 쪽으로 배출되므로 작업장이 분진으로 오염되지 않게 된다.At this time, the drive motor 52 and the dust collector omitting the expression are operated by the limit switch 66, and the upper and lower edges of one side are joined together by the polishing wheels 56 and 58 in which the buckle 18 rotates. Thinly polished, the dust generated at this time is discharged toward the dust collector through the suction conduit 64 installed in the safety cover 62 so that the workplace is not contaminated with dust.

이어서, 버클(18)이 연마휠(56),(58)들 사이를 통과하게 되어 왕복대(14)가 베드(10)의 리미트스위치(68)와 접하게 되면 에어실린더(46)의 피스턴로드(48)가 본래의 위치로 후진하여 왕복대(14)가 본래의 위치로 복귀하게 되고, 왕복대(14)가 리미트스위치(66)에 이르게 되면 에어실린더(46)의 피스턴로드(48)가 정지하게 되며, 에어실린더(44)의 피스턴로드(42)가 상승하게 되어 작업자가 버클(18)의 연마할 다른 변이 앞쪽으로 위치하도록 버클(18)의 셋팅 위치를 바꾸어 줄 수 있도록 해 준다.Subsequently, the buckle 18 passes between the polishing wheels 56 and 58 so that the carriage 14 contacts the limit switch 68 of the bed 10 and the piston rod of the air cylinder 46 When the carriage 14 is returned to its original position and the carriage 14 returns to its original position, and the carriage 14 reaches the limit switch 66, the piston rod 48 of the air cylinder 46 is stopped. The piston rod 42 of the air cylinder 44 is raised to allow the operator to change the setting position of the buckle 18 so that the other side of the buckle 18 to be polished is located forward.

이때 전력소모를 절약시켜 주기 위해서 구동모터(52)도 왕복대(14)가 정지하고 있는 동안에는 작동하지 않도록 해 주는 것이 좋다.At this time, in order to save power consumption, the drive motor 52 may also be prevented from operating while the carriage 14 is stopped.

이와 같은 버클(18)의 장착과 탈착을 4회 반복하게 되면 도 1에서와 같이 4변의 위, 아래쪽 가장자리에 끝으로 갈수록 두께가 점차 얇아져 가는 균일하고 매끄러운 경사진 연마면(a)을 갖는 완성된 버클(A)을 얻게 된다.When the mounting and detachment of the buckle 18 is repeated four times, as shown in FIG. 1, the finished surface has a uniform and smooth inclined polishing surface (a) that becomes thinner gradually toward the top and bottom edges of the four sides. You get a buckle (A).

본 발명에 있어서, 왕복대(14)를 직선 왕복운동시켜 줄 수만 있다면 에어실린더(46) 대신에 볼스크류축과 서보모터와 같은 통상의 왕복운동기구를 사용할 수도 있고, 지그(20)는 버클(18)의 위치를 이동시키면서 고정시켜 줄 수만 있다면 통상의 클램핑 기구를 사용할 수도 있다.In the present invention, a conventional reciprocating mechanism such as a ball screw shaft and a servomotor may be used instead of the air cylinder 46 as long as the reciprocating member 14 can linearly reciprocate, and the jig 20 may have a buckle ( As long as it can be fixed while moving the position of 18), a conventional clamping mechanism may be used.

본 발명은 작업자가 지그(20)에 버클(18)을 장착하거나 탈착시켜주는 것을 제외한 나머지 연마공정의 자동화를 도모할 수 있는 것이기 때문에 비숙련된 작업자도 연마된 상태가 균일한 고품위의 버클을 안전사고의 우려 없이 경제적으로 대량생산 할 수 있고, 작업장이 분진으로 오염되는 것도 효과적으로 방지함으로서 작업환경을 개선해 줄 수 있는 등의 장점이 있다.In the present invention, since the operator can promote the automation of the remaining polishing process except for attaching or detaching the buckle 18 to the jig 20, even an inexperienced worker can secure a high quality buckle with a uniform polished state. It can be economically mass-produced without fear of an accident, and can effectively improve the working environment by effectively preventing contamination of the workplace with dust.
