Description
本發明係有關於一種刷子製造設備，在該刷子製造設備中進一步處理刷體，該刷體具有用於容置並固定刷毛之開孔，且該刷體為待製刷子的一部分。 The invention relates to a brush manufacturing equipment, in which the brush body is further processed, the brush body has an opening for accommodating and fixing the bristles, and the brush body is a part of a brush to be manufactured.
此外，本發明係有關於一種可應用於上述刷子製造設備之刷體夾具，以及一種製造刷子的方法。 In addition, the present invention relates to a brush body holder applicable to the above-mentioned brush manufacturing equipment, and a method for manufacturing a brush.
刷子製造設備係為在若干連續的工作站上製造並進一步處理刷子零件之高精工作機器。刷子自身具有刷子主體，牙刷的刷子主體包含：柄部、頸部及頭部。頭部具有以規定孔型排布之開孔，將刷毛束塞孔至該孔型。而後將此等刷毛束固定於刷子側。可針對整個刷子主體或刷子主體的一部分(例如保持薄片)實施所謂的「塞孔」操作，該保持薄片具有用於刷毛束之必要開孔。將此保持薄片塞孔，接著再連接至刷體餘部。此點可透過擠壓包封或固定於刷子主體的預製餘部而實現。本發明係有關於既對保持薄片亦對成品刷子主體或刷子主體的組成部 分作進一步處理之刷子製造設備。具有可供刷毛***之開孔或者可被***帶有刷毛的保持薄片之刷子主體自身及保持薄片或一般而言的、未來將參與定義刷子主體之預製部件，在下文中皆被稱作刷體。 下文所介紹的本發明之刷子製造設備，對刷毛束在刷體上的固定方式亦不做限制。可用錨固定，或者採用無錨固定。 Brush manufacturing equipment is a high-precision work machine that manufactures and further processes brush parts on several continuous workstations. The brush itself has a brush body, and the brush body of the toothbrush includes a handle, a neck, and a head. The head has openings arranged in a predetermined hole pattern, and the bristle bundles are plugged into the hole pattern. These bundles of bristles are then fixed on the brush side. The so-called "plug hole" operation can be performed on the entire brush body or a part of the brush body, such as a holding sheet, which has the necessary openings for the bristle bundles. Plug this retaining sheet into the hole and connect it to the rest of the brush body. This can be achieved by squeezing or pre-fixing the rest of the brush body. The present invention relates to components for both the holding sheet and the finished brush body or brush body. Brush manufacturing equipment divided into further processing. The brush body itself having an opening through which the bristles can be inserted or a retaining sheet with bristles and the retaining sheet or, in general, a prefabricated part that will participate in defining the brush body in the future, will be referred to as a brush body hereinafter. The brush manufacturing equipment of the present invention described below does not limit the manner of fixing the bristle bundles to the brush body. It can be fixed by anchor or without anchor.
此外，本發明係有關於在製造刷毛時實施下列步驟中之一或多者的刷子製造設備：塞孔，將刷毛固定於刷體，加工(修剪、圓頭處理)刷毛末端。 In addition, the present invention relates to a brush manufacturing equipment that performs one or more of the following steps when manufacturing bristles: plugging holes, fixing the bristles to the brush body, and processing (trimming, rounding) the ends of the bristles.
刷子製造設備必須被設計得極為靈活，意即，該等刷子製造設備必須能被快速改裝。因為待製刷子的種類增多，週期亦變快。刷體須在設備高速運行之情況下以最高精度被定位。意即，當需要改裝設備以適應新刷子時，須在各站上精確調整定位單元。 Brush manufacturing equipment must be designed to be extremely flexible, meaning that such brush manufacturing equipment must be capable of being quickly retrofitted. As the number of brushes to be prepared increases, the cycle becomes faster. The brush body must be positioned with the highest accuracy when the equipment is running at high speed. This means that when the equipment needs to be adapted to the new brush, the positioning unit must be adjusted precisely at each station.
關鍵在於，用於將刷體夾緊於相應加工站之定位單元被精確調整。然而，由於刷體在該等刷體之外周緣(側緣)上具有不同的外部幾何形狀，調整難度較大。 The point is that the positioning unit for clamping the brush body to the corresponding processing station is precisely adjusted. However, since the brush bodies have different external geometries on the outer peripheral edges (side edges) of the brush bodies, adjustment is difficult.
有人建議將刷體預先送入刷體夾具而非***設備，以形成一個單元。在此情況下，刷體夾具具有相對簡單的外輪廓以供刷子製造設備相當輕易地卡住，從而使得定心及定位操作能快速進行。重要 的是，數種不同刷體雖然在不同刷體夾具中具有不同容置輪廓，即具有個別化的容置方式。但不同刷體夾具在該等刷體夾具被定位並保持於刷子製造設備之部位上具有相同輪廓。如此一來，儘管存在不同刷體，但仍能完全取消或簡化複雜的定位單元調整操作。 It has been suggested to feed the brush body into the brush holder in advance rather than inserting the device to form a unit. In this case, the brush holder has a relatively simple outer profile for the brush manufacturing equipment to get stuck relatively easily, so that centering and positioning operations can be performed quickly. important The reason is that although several different brush bodies have different receiving profiles in different brush body clamps, they have individual receiving modes. However, different brush body clamps have the same contour on the parts where the brush body clamps are positioned and held on the brush manufacturing equipment. In this way, despite the existence of different brush bodies, the complicated positioning unit adjustment operation can be completely eliminated or simplified.
為此，此等設想出來的刷體夾具具有從該刷體夾具正面出發朝背面方向略呈錐形逐漸變細之開口，相對於要被***該等開口中之刷體的外部幾何形狀，該等開口尺寸不足。藉此將從前方***之刷體如楔形物般夾持住。 For this reason, these conceived brush holders have openings that taper and taper slightly from the front of the brush holder toward the back, and relative to the external geometry of the brush body to be inserted into the openings, The opening size is insufficient. Thereby, the brush body inserted from the front is held like a wedge.
本發明之目的在於提供一種能進一步簡化並加快刷子製造的刷子製造設備、刷體夾具及製造方法。 An object of the present invention is to provide a brush manufacturing equipment, a brush body holder, and a manufacturing method that can further simplify and speed up the manufacturing of a brush.
本發明用以達成該目的之解決方案為一種刷子製造設備，在該刷子製造設備中進一步處理刷體，該刷體具有用於容置並固定刷毛之開孔，且該刷體為待製刷子的一部分，其中該刷體具有背面及正面，在該刷子製成後，刷毛凸出於該正面。該刷子製造設備包括刷體夾具，其中每個刷體夾具中皆能以可拆卸之方式***至少一刷體，以形成形狀配合的臨時單元，該單元被送入該設備，通過該設備並被運離該設備。該刷子製造設備進一步包括設備 端定位單元，該定位單元在進一步處理該刷體時，以卡住該刷體夾具之方式保持該單元並將該單元定位在該設備中，其中該等刷體夾具經設計而具有機械止擋，以防對應的刷體從該背面朝該正面方向脫離該刷體夾具。 The solution to achieve the object of the present invention is a brush manufacturing equipment, in which the brush body is further processed, the brush body has an opening for receiving and fixing the bristles, and the brush body is a brush to be prepared A part of the brush body has a back surface and a front surface. After the brush is made, the bristles protrude from the front surface. The brush manufacturing equipment includes a brush body clamp, in which at least one brush body can be detachably inserted into each brush body clamp to form a form-fitting temporary unit. The unit is fed into the equipment, passes through the equipment and is Remove the device. The brush manufacturing equipment further includes equipment End positioning unit, which holds the unit by holding the brush holder and positioning the unit in the device when the brush body is further processed, wherein the brush holders are designed to have mechanical stops In order to prevent the corresponding brush body from detaching from the brush holder from the back surface toward the front direction.
本發明設有大量通過刷子製造設備的刷體夾具。意即，並非永久安裝於設備中而成為設備的組成部分之夾具。更確切地說，每個刷體夾具皆與一或數個刷體共同形成一個單元，該單元通過設備中之各站或單獨一個站。因此，該等刷體夾具為臨時性的移動式夾具，該夾具對應於刷體而非設備。該等刷體夾具的特點在於：該等刷體夾具的並非像以往所設想出來的刷體夾具那樣從前方***，並僅以夾持方式(楔效應)向前方緊固於刷體夾具中。更確切地說，該等刷體夾具具有一或數個防止刷體脫落之機械止擋。該或該等止擋起作用的方向可最簡單地定義為從刷體背面朝正面方向。另外需要指出的是，該刷體夾具具有背面及正面，該背面及該正面分別對應容置於該刷體夾具中之刷體的背面與正面，意即，二者定向一致。利用止擋取得機械閉鎖效果，以防刷體向前脫落。在對已***刷體的刷毛束進行加工時，此點尤為有益。因為在修剪刷毛束或為使該等刷毛束圓頭處理時，有可能產生會使刷體脫離該刷體之刷體夾具之拉力。 The present invention is provided with a large number of brush body clamps by brush manufacturing equipment. This means fixtures that are not permanently installed in the equipment and become part of the equipment. More precisely, each brush body clamp together with one or several brush bodies forms a unit that passes through each station in the equipment or a single station. Therefore, these brush body clamps are temporary mobile clamps, which correspond to the brush body and not the equipment. These brush body clamps are characterized in that the brush body clamps are not inserted from the front like the conventionally designed brush body clamps, and are fastened to the brush body clamps only in a clamping manner (wedge effect) forward. More precisely, the brush holders have one or more mechanical stops that prevent the brush body from falling off. The direction in which the stopper or stoppers act can be most simply defined as the direction from the back of the brush body to the front. In addition, it should be pointed out that the brush body clamp has a back surface and a front surface, and the back surface and the front surface correspond to the back surface and the front surface of the brush body accommodated in the brush body clamp, respectively, that is, the orientations of the two are consistent. The stop is used to obtain a mechanical locking effect to prevent the brush body from falling forward. This is particularly beneficial when processing the bristle bundles that have been inserted into the brush body. Because when trimming the bristle bundles or rounding the bristle bundles, it is possible to generate a pulling force that may cause the brush body to detach from the brush body holder of the brush body.
該定位單元應當僅卡住該刷體夾具，以便能得益於刷體夾具始終相同的、不受刷體類型影響之外形尺寸或外部幾何形狀，且不必再重新對準。 The positioning unit should only clamp the brush holder, so that it can benefit from the brush holders being always the same, regardless of the external size or external geometry of the brush body type, and without having to be realigned.
此外還可設置運送單元，該運送單元僅卡住該刷體夾具並運送該單元通過該設備。由此，該運送單元亦得益於刷體夾具始終相同的、不受容置於該刷體夾具中之刷體的幾何形狀影響之外形尺寸及外部幾何形狀。 It is also possible to provide a transport unit that only clamps the brush holder and transports the unit through the device. Therefore, the conveying unit also benefits from the external shape and external geometry of the brush body fixture that is always the same and is not affected by the geometry of the brush body contained in the brush body fixture.
該運送單元可包含可動卡爪，該等可動卡爪側向卡住刷體夾具並容置該等刷體夾具，以便將刷體夾具移向或移離該或該等定位單元。意即，運送單元較佳從外部卡住刷體夾具的邊緣(即周緣)，但其中亦可採用其他實施變化。舉例來說，刷體夾具亦可具有一或數個開孔，運送單元的銷柱可嵌入該等開孔，以便從定位單元中取出刷體並繼續運送之。 The transport unit may include movable jaws that laterally clamp the brush body clamps and receive the brush body clamps to move the brush body clamps toward or away from the positioning unit or units. In other words, the transport unit preferably clamps the edge (ie, the periphery) of the brush holder from the outside, but other implementation changes can also be adopted therein. For example, the brush holder can also have one or more openings, and the pins of the transport unit can be embedded in these openings in order to remove the brush body from the positioning unit and continue to transport it.
該等刷體夾具被構造成使得容置於該等刷體夾中的刷體在所有方向上皆得到無隙保持。意即，即便將刷體從背面***刷體夾具，當該單元被抬高時，該等刷體不會從該等刷體夾具掉落。 The brush body clamps are configured such that the brush bodies received in the brush body clips are held without gaps in all directions. That is, even if the brush body is inserted into the brush body holder from the back, the brush bodies will not fall off the brush body holder when the unit is raised.
為簡化刷體夾具的製造，尤其是為了更方便地定位並運送(即抓持)刷體夾具，該等刷體夾具在該等刷體夾具之側緣上具有至少一用於定位單元及(或)運送單元之平直接觸面。但更佳者係設置兩個 相對且平行的平直接觸面及(或)可供定位單元及(或)運送單元嵌入之開孔。 In order to simplify the manufacture of the brush body clamps, and in particular to more conveniently position and transport (i.e., hold) the brush body clamps, the brush body clamps have at least one positioning unit and ( Or) The straight contact surface of the transport unit. But the better one is two. Opposite and parallel flat contact surfaces and / or openings into which positioning units and / or transport units can be embedded.
該等刷體夾具可具有板狀外形且具有用於該刷體之容置口，其中該容置口由保持邊緣定義，該保持邊緣卡住該刷體的側緣。板狀外形易於製造，亦方便穩妥定位於設備或設備各站上的第一平面(即放置平面)。 The brush body clamps may have a plate-like shape and have a receiving port for the brush body, wherein the receiving port is defined by a holding edge that catches a side edge of the brush body. The plate-like shape is easy to manufacture, and it is also convenient and securely positioned on the first plane (ie, the placement plane) on the equipment or each station of the equipment.
該容置口可具有與刷體外周至少分段互補之形狀。容置口不必完全互補，更確切地說，僅將部分區段設置為接觸面，即為有益之舉。如此能減小摩擦並降低部件間的卡阻。製造刷體夾具時，僅接觸部位的難度極大且要求高度精確。因而若接觸面變小，則亦能簡化製造。 The receiving port may have a shape complementary to the outer periphery of the brush at least in sections. The receiving openings need not be completely complementary, rather, it is beneficial to set only a part of the section as a contact surface. This can reduce friction and reduce jamming between components. When manufacturing the brush body clamp, it is extremely difficult to contact only the part and requires high precision. Therefore, if the contact surface becomes smaller, manufacturing can also be simplified.
本發明的實施方式提出：該刷體夾具經設計而與該至少一已***之刷體形成卡合連接。此種卡合連接特別有益，因為其將刷體在刷體夾具中的快速插拔與機械閉鎖相結合。 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the brush body clamp is designed to form an engaging connection with the at least one inserted brush body. This snap-in connection is particularly beneficial because it combines the quick insertion and removal of the brush body in the brush body clamp with mechanical locking.
該刷體夾具或該刷體夾具的區段可由彈性材料如塑膠構成，或者亦可由金屬構成。當刷體被容置時，該等區段直接壓向刷體並夾持該刷體。因此，該卡合連接實施得不僅與刷體實現形狀配合，亦進一步使該刷體得到夾持。 The brush body clamp or a section of the brush body clamp may be composed of an elastic material such as plastic, or may be composed of metal. When the brush body is accommodated, these sections are pressed directly against the brush body and clamp the brush body. Therefore, the snap-in connection is implemented not only to achieve a form fit with the brush body, but also to further clamp the brush body.
根據一種特別簡單的變化，提出：將該板狀刷體夾具開縫，意即，用該縫隙界定兩個可相對運 動之區段。該等區段可相互隔開以容置刷體夾具，而後再往回相向運動以保持刷體。 According to a particularly simple variation, it is proposed that the plate-shaped brush body clamp be slit, which means that the gap is used to define two relatively Moving section. These sections can be separated from each other to accommodate the brush holder, and then move back and forth to maintain the brush body.
該縫隙例如形成兩個隔開的側邊(Schenkel)，該等側邊為相對彈撓性以形成卡合連接。該縫隙可延伸至刷體夾具的側緣，意即，僅一側或一端除外，該縫隙為連續延伸。因此，兩個側邊的一側透過基邊(Steg)而彈性相連且較佳為一體相連，在此情況下，該基邊主要用於實現該等側邊的相對可動性。在與此相對之另一端，該等側邊分別形成自由端。 The gap forms, for example, two spaced apart sides, which are relatively elastic and flexible to form a snap connection. The gap may extend to the side edge of the brush body clamp, that is to say, except for only one side or one end, the gap extends continuously. Therefore, one side of the two side edges is elastically connected through the base edge (Steg), and is preferably connected integrally. In this case, the base edge is mainly used to realize the relative mobility of the side edges. On the opposite end, the sides form free ends, respectively.
作為刷體夾具採用彈性設計之替代方案或者可與此相結合的補充性變化，提出：該縫隙連續穿過該刷體夾具，從而形成數個區段，該等區段亦可為獨立部分。該等區段透過至少一彈性元件(特別是金屬彈簧)以相對彈撓性之方式進行安裝，以便形成卡合連接。最簡單的情形是：刷體夾具由兩個獨立半部組成，該等半部藉由偏轉連接及至少一彈簧或者例如藉由兩個彈簧而耦合。透過此彈性效果產生撓性，從而得以實現卡合連接。其優點在於保持區域不必具有過大之彈性，舉例來說，刷體夾具的該等區段或部分可由金屬構成，藉此延長夾具壽命。 As an alternative to the elastic design of the brush body clamp or a complementary change that can be combined with this, it is proposed that the gap continuously passes through the brush body clamp to form several sections, and these sections can also be independent parts. These sections are installed in a relatively elastic manner through at least one elastic element (especially a metal spring) in order to form a snap-in connection. In the simplest case, the brush holder is composed of two independent halves which are coupled by a deflection connection and at least one spring or, for example, by two springs. Flexibility is generated by this elastic effect, so that a snap connection can be achieved. The advantage is that the holding area does not have to be too elastic. For example, the sections or parts of the brush holder can be made of metal, thereby extending the life of the holder.
該刷體夾具具有被該縫隙穿過之板狀底部及凸出於該底部之保持邊緣，其中該等撓性區段分別 包含：該板狀底部的一區段及一凸出的保持邊緣，從而使得該等區段的保持邊緣可相向或相背彈動。 The brush body clamp has a plate-shaped bottom penetrated by the gap and a retaining edge protruding from the bottom, wherein the flexible sections are respectively Including: a section of the plate-shaped bottom and a protruding retaining edge, so that the retaining edges of the sections can be moved toward or away from each other.
在刷體與刷體夾具所組成之單元已***的情況下，該定位單元可選地以機械方式防止該等可相對運動之區段運動至打開位置，藉此防止該刷體脫落。 When the unit composed of the brush body and the brush body clamp has been inserted, the positioning unit can optionally mechanically prevent the relatively movable sections from moving to the open position, thereby preventing the brush body from falling off.
該刷體夾具應較佳無隙夾持容置於該刷體夾具中之刷體，並且當然至少側向及向前以形狀配合方式保持之。 The brush body clamp should preferably hold the brush body accommodated in the brush body clamp without gap, and of course hold it at least laterally and forward in a form-fitting manner.
本發明之設備較佳不再於進一步處理期間直接卡住刷體。刷體僅藉由刷體夾具被鎖定於設備中。 The device of the present invention preferably does not directly jam the brush body during further processing. The brush body is locked in the device only by the brush holder.
此外，本發明係有關於一種用於本發明之刷子製造設備的刷體夾具，其中該刷體夾具具有用於要被***該刷體夾具中之刷體的容置口，該容置口由保持邊緣定義，其中該保持邊緣朝正面具有至少一向內凸出之止擋。透過此止擋可取得以下效果：刷體在刷子製造設備內部接受加工期間，不會再被輕易地拉出夾具。該刷體夾具開縫，且該縫隙亦穿過該容置口，從而形成若干可相對運動之區段，特別是彈撓性區段，該等區段允許該刷體的***與取出，該等區段與刷體形成無需破壞便可解除之卡合連接，並且該等區段在該刷體被容置時壓向該刷體。 In addition, the present invention relates to a brush holder for use in the brush manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, wherein the brush holder has a receiving port for a brush body to be inserted into the brush holder, and the receiving port is formed by A retaining edge definition, wherein the retaining edge has at least one stop protruding inwardly toward the front. Through this stop, the following effects can be achieved: the brush body will not be easily pulled out of the fixture during the processing of the brush body inside the brush manufacturing equipment. The brush body clamp has a slit, and the gap also passes through the accommodation port, so as to form a number of relatively movable sections, especially elastic sections. These sections allow the insertion and removal of the brush body. The equal segments and the brush body form an engaging connection that can be released without breaking, and these segments are pressed against the brush body when the brush body is accommodated.
如前文結合刷子製造設備所述，該刷體夾具可具有彈撓性區段，該等區段與對應刷體形成無需破壞便可解除之卡合連接。 As described in the foregoing in connection with the brush manufacturing equipment, the brush body clamp may have an elastically flexible section, and these sections form a snap-in connection with the corresponding brush body without breaking.
特別地，該刷體夾具具有板狀底部，一體成型之保持邊緣凸出於該底部。如前所述，該縫隙將底部及保持邊緣分成兩個區段或半部，該等區段或半部可併攏或分開，從而使得縫隙相應變大或變小。該等區段可相對彈動，此係藉由彈簧或者透過該等區段在形成U形之情況下於末端一體連接而實現。 In particular, the brush holder has a plate-shaped bottom, and the integrally-shaped holding edge projects out from the bottom. As mentioned before, the gap divides the bottom and the retaining edge into two sections or halves, which sections or halves can be brought together or separated, so that the gap becomes larger or smaller accordingly. These sections can be relatively elastic, which is achieved by springs or through the sections being integrated at the ends under the condition of forming a U shape.
另外需要強調的是，前文在介紹本發明之刷子製造設備時所述及之刷體夾具的特徵，亦可直接為該刷體夾具所具有。 It should also be emphasized that the characteristics of the brush holder described in the introduction of the brush manufacturing equipment of the present invention can also be directly possessed by the brush holder.
本發明較佳係有關於一種由數個刷體夾具組成之套件，該等刷體夾具具有相同的外部幾何形狀，但具有用於不同刷體之不同容置口。 The invention preferably relates to a kit composed of a plurality of brush body clamps, which have the same external geometry, but have different receiving openings for different brush bodies.
最後，本發明係有關於一種製造刷子的方法，該刷子具有刷體，該刷體設有用於容置刷毛的開孔，其中該刷體為該成品刷子的一部分且具有背面及正面，在該刷子製成後，刷毛凸出於該正面，其特徵在於以下步驟：將該刷體***刷體夾具，該刷體夾具具有機械止擋，以防該刷體從該背面朝該正面方向脫離該刷體夾具， 將刷體與刷體夾具所組成之單元轉移至運送單元，該運送單元將該單元自動(即藉由驅動器)送入刷子製造設備，藉由定位單元以卡住該刷體夾具上的抓持件之方式，將該單元定位於進一步處理站，其中該定位單元僅卡住該刷體夾具，並且在刷體與刷體夾具所組成之單元已***的情況下，以機械方式防止該等可相對運動之區段運動至打開位置，藉此防止該刷體脫落。進一步處理該刷體，及以卡住該刷體夾具之方式將該單元運離該進一步處理站及(或)該刷子製造設備。 Finally, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a brush. The brush has a brush body provided with an opening for receiving bristles. The brush body is a part of the finished brush and has a back surface and a front surface. After the brush is made, the bristles protrude from the front surface, which is characterized by the following steps: inserting the brush body into the brush body holder, the brush body holder has a mechanical stop to prevent the brush body from detaching from the back surface toward the front Brush holder, The unit composed of the brush body and the brush body clamp is transferred to a conveying unit, which automatically feeds the unit into the brush manufacturing equipment (by a driver), and the positioning unit is used to hold the grip on the brush body clamp The unit is positioned at a further processing station, where the positioning unit only clamps the brush body clamp, and mechanically prevents such possible failures when the unit consisting of the brush body and the brush body clamp is inserted The relative moving section moves to the open position, thereby preventing the brush body from falling off. The brush body is further processed, and the unit is transported away from the further processing station and / or the brush manufacturing equipment in a manner that the brush body clamp is caught.
在本發明之方法中，該刷體夾具或該等大量刷體夾具亦非該設備的組成部分，而是分別與該等刷體夾具之刷體暫時形成一個單元，以便以單元形式自動地(即藉由驅動器，而非手動)被運送通過刷子製造設備且最後再度從該刷子製造設備中被取出。 In the method of the present invention, the brush body clamp or the large number of brush body clamps are not part of the equipment, but are temporarily formed into a unit with the brush bodies of the brush body clamps respectively, so as to automatically (in a unit form) That is, by means of a drive, not manually, is carried through the brush manufacturing equipment and is finally taken out of the brush manufacturing equipment again.
前文結合刷子製造設備所述及的特徵亦與本發明之方法相關，且同樣適用於該方法。 The features described above in connection with the brush manufacturing equipment are also relevant to the method of the present invention and are equally applicable to the method.
特別地，刷體在使用卡合連接之情況下***該刷體之刷體夾具並無隙保持於該刷體夾具中。該無隙保持發生於所有空間方向上。 In particular, the brush body is inserted into the brush body holder of the brush body under the condition of snap-fit connection, and is held in the brush body holder without gap. This gapless hold occurs in all spatial directions.

第1圖示出刷子製造設備1，在本示例中，該刷子製造設備可實施各種加工步驟，本發明不受此限制。該刷子製造設備例如具有可旋轉的進料台5。 FIG. 1 shows a brush manufacturing apparatus 1. In this example, the brush manufacturing apparatus can perform various processing steps, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The brush manufacturing apparatus has, for example, a rotatable feeding table 5.
該進料台大體為一立方體，該立方體可繞軸線A在四個位置間旋轉。刷體8與刷體夾具9所組成之單元容置在定位單元7中並安裝於該立方體的側面。在該四個不同位置上實施不同加工步驟，該等加工步驟形成加工站。 The feeding table is generally a cube, and the cube can rotate between four positions about the axis A. The unit composed of the brush body 8 and the brush body holder 9 is housed in the positioning unit 7 and mounted on the side of the cube. Different processing steps are performed at these four different locations, and these processing steps form a processing station.
在頂部位置上實現裝料站4。刷體8與刷體夾具9所組成之單元於該處被***空著的定位單元7。特別地，此係以全自動方式進行。圖示實施方式經簡化。 The loading station 4 is implemented in the top position. The unit composed of the brush body 8 and the brush body holder 9 is inserted into an empty positioning unit 7 there. In particular, this is done in a fully automatic manner. The illustrated embodiment is simplified.
下一步驟(順時針旋轉90°)係在塞孔站上進行塞孔，在此例如用錨實施塞孔操作。 The next step (rotating 90 ° clockwise) is to perform the plugging on the plugging station, where a plugging operation is performed, for example, with an anchor.
為此，刷體8具有數個開孔20，用塞孔工具10依次填充該等開孔20。符號11用以標示刷毛匣，符號12用以標示分離器。 To this end, the brush body 8 has a plurality of openings 20, and these openings 20 are sequentially filled with the plugging tool 10. The symbol 11 is used to indicate the bristle box, and the symbol 12 is used to indicate the separator.
繼續旋轉90°或者旋轉180°後，接著在此位置上對刷毛15的自由端進行加工，例如經由切割及(或)磨削。最後再度從設備中取出刷體8與刷體夾具9所組成之單元。此係在相對於裝料站4旋轉270°的位置上進行。此站用符號13標示。 After continuing to rotate 90 ° or 180 °, the free end of the bristles 15 is then processed at this position, for example by cutting and / or grinding. Finally, the unit composed of the brush body 8 and the brush body clamp 9 is taken out of the device again. This is performed at a position rotated 270 ° with respect to the loading station 4. This station is marked with the symbol 13.
當然，亦可從進料台上共同取下刷體及該刷體之夾具並送往其他站以實施再加工步驟，在該站處對刷毛進行例如切割或圓頭處理。需要強調的是，圖示設備僅為示例，該設備亦可僅實施前述加工步驟中的一個步驟或者實施其他加工步驟，並且亦不必實現在可旋轉的進料台中。若干透過一條軌道而依次相連的站亦可形成本發明之設備。 Of course, the brush body and the fixture of the brush body can also be jointly removed from the feeding table and sent to other stations for reprocessing steps, where the bristles are cut or rounded, for example. It should be emphasized that the illustrated equipment is only an example. The equipment can also implement only one of the aforementioned processing steps or other processing steps, and it does not have to be implemented in a rotatable feeding table. Several stations connected in sequence through one track can also form the device of the invention.
第2圖單獨示出安裝在進料台上之定位單元7，該進料台在此形成運送單元。定位單元7在工作期間固定於進料台5上並且為該設備的固定組成部分，而刷體8與刷體夾具9所組成之單元僅暫時位於設備中，並且在加工前與加工後被送入或運離該設備。 Figure 2 shows the positioning unit 7 mounted separately on a feeding table, which here forms a transport unit. The positioning unit 7 is fixed on the feeding table 5 during work and is a fixed component of the equipment, while the unit composed of the brush body 8 and the brush holder 9 is only temporarily located in the equipment, and is sent before and after processing Move in or out of the device.
刷體8在此為以射出成型技術製成之刷子主體且具有大量開孔20，將刷毛15塞孔至該等開孔20。 The brush body 8 is a brush body made by injection molding technology and has a large number of openings 20. The bristles 15 are plugged into the openings 20.
刷體夾具9實施為標準件，該刷體夾具9大體呈板狀且具有平直背面(亦稱底面)。該背面與刷體8的背面位於同一側，該刷體8具有如第2圖所示之頂面。此頂面乃是刷子製成後供刷毛凸出的那一面(見第1圖)。 The brush body clamp 9 is implemented as a standard piece, and the brush body clamp 9 is generally plate-shaped and has a flat back surface (also referred to as a bottom surface). The back surface is located on the same side as the back surface of the brush body 8, and the brush body 8 has a top surface as shown in FIG. 2. This top surface is the side where the bristles bulge after the brush is made (see Figure 1).
相應地，刷體夾具9亦具有頂面，該頂面與刷體9的頂面指向同一側。 Correspondingly, the brush holder 9 also has a top surface that points to the same side as the top surface of the brush body 9.
第4圖所更詳細示出的刷體夾具9具有經簡單結構化之外部幾何形狀，包含側緣20，該側緣20具有大量平行的平直接觸面22、24。在此等接觸面22、24上極易實現單元的抓持或對準。 The brush holder 9 shown in more detail in FIG. 4 has a simple structured external geometry and includes a side edge 20 which has a large number of parallel flat contact surfaces 22, 24. On these contact surfaces 22, 24, it is very easy to grasp or align the unit.
刷體8透過卡合連接(Rastverbindug)無隙保持於刷體夾具9中。 The brush body 8 is held in the brush body clamp 9 by a snap connection.
為此，刷體夾具9包含容置口30，該容置口30僅朝正面(見第4圖)、僅朝背面(見第5圖)或朝正面及背面(第4圖與第5圖相結合)打開。容置口30由保持邊緣32定義，該保持邊緣32至少分段地貼靠於刷體的側緣34並壓向該側緣34。 For this purpose, the brush holder 9 includes an accommodation opening 30 that faces only the front (see Fig. 4), only the back (see Fig. 5), or the front and back (Figs. 4 and 5). (Combined) open. The accommodating opening 30 is defined by a holding edge 32 that abuts at least in sections on the side edge 34 of the brush body and presses against the side edge 34.
該保持邊緣的內側至少分段地設有幾何形狀，該幾何形狀與刷體的側緣形狀及外周形狀互補，因而刷體8固定安裝在刷體夾具9中。 The inner side of the holding edge is provided with a geometric shape at least in sections. The geometric shape is complementary to the shape of the side edge and the outer periphery of the brush body. Therefore, the brush body 8 is fixedly installed in the brush body holder 9.
刷體夾具9的區段(在此係指相對於板狀底部向上凸出之保持邊緣的區段)採用彈撓性設計。作為補充或替代方案，整個刷體夾具9亦可全部由彈撓性區段形成。 The section of the brush holder 9 (referred to herein as the section of the retaining edge protruding upward with respect to the plate-shaped bottom) adopts a flexible design. In addition or as an alternative, the entire brush body clamp 9 can also be formed entirely by a flexible section.
在如第4圖至第6圖之實施方式中，刷體夾具9採用開縫設計。與開孔42連通之縱縫41延伸至刷體夾具的側緣，從而形成兩個可相對運動之區段，在此為兩個側邊44、46，該等側邊44、46透過基邊48相互連接。側邊44、46具有保持邊緣32(見第4圖)且可沿第5圖中的箭頭方向併攏或分開，即可相對運動。此造型使得刷體8可從上方或沿縱向(參見第4圖中的箭頭)嵌入容置口30。開孔42亦可在該設備中用作定位孔。 In the embodiment as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the brush holder 9 is designed with a slit. The longitudinal slit 41 communicating with the opening 42 extends to the side edge of the brush body clamp, thereby forming two sections that can move relative to each other, here are two side edges 44 and 46, and these side edges 44 and 46 penetrate the base edge 48 interconnected. The side edges 44 and 46 have holding edges 32 (see FIG. 4) and can be moved together or separated in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5 to move relative to each other. This shape allows the brush body 8 to be inserted into the accommodation port 30 from above or in the longitudinal direction (see the arrow in FIG. 4). The opening 42 can also be used as a positioning hole in the device.
在如第5圖之實施方式中，縫隙41擴展成背面開口，以便可從背面***刷體8，而在如第6圖之實施方式中，該縫隙均勻地狹窄。 In the embodiment as shown in FIG. 5, the slit 41 is expanded into a back opening so that the brush body 8 can be inserted from the back, and in the embodiment as shown in FIG. 6, the slit is narrowed uniformly.
此外，需要強調的是，保持邊緣32亦可被劃分成數個小的指形凸起，而非必須由兩個幾乎沿整個側緣貼靠於刷體9之長條形凸起組成。該縫隙亦延伸穿過容置口及保持邊緣32，從而使得一體凸出於刷體夾具9的板狀底部之保持邊緣亦具有數個區段。 In addition, it should be emphasized that the retaining edge 32 can also be divided into several small finger-shaped protrusions, instead of having to consist of two strip-shaped protrusions that abut against the brush body 9 along almost the entire side edge. The gap also extends through the receiving opening and the holding edge 32, so that the holding edge protruding integrally from the plate-like bottom of the brush holder 9 also has several sections.
該卡合連接被設計成使得保持邊緣32貼靠於刷體8的頂面，具體為：該保持邊緣32具有在此 區域向內凸出之止擋40(見第4圖)，該止擋40按凸唇樣式實施。藉此以機械方式防止刷體向上(即從背面朝正面方向)脫離刷體夾具9。 The snap-in connection is designed so that the holding edge 32 abuts on the top surface of the brush body 8. Specifically, the holding edge 32 has A stop 40 (see FIG. 4) protruding inward in the region is implemented in the form of a lip. This prevents the brush body from being detached from the brush holder 9 upwardly (ie, from the back to the front).
刷體夾具9貼靠於刷體頂端的區段51可進一步在第4圖中的箭頭方向上起擋止及定位輔助作用，且同樣可在該區段50的頂面上具有止擋52，該止擋52防止刷體9向上脫離刷體夾具。 The section 51 of the brush holder 9 abutting on the top of the brush body can further serve as a stop and positioning aid in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4, and can also have a stop 52 on the top surface of the section 50. The stopper 52 prevents the brush body 9 from coming out of the brush body holder.
在此情況下，可相對運動的彈性區段為該二個透過基邊48而彈性相連之側邊44、46，但亦可不設縫隙41，並且僅保持邊緣32採用彈性設計。 In this case, the relatively movable elastic sections are the two side edges 44 and 46 elastically connected through the base edge 48, but the gap 41 may not be provided, and only the edge 32 is adopted to adopt an elastic design.
一般而言，刷體夾具可用金屬或塑膠製成，此點適用於所有實施方式。亦可採用立體印刷技術(快速原型設計)進行製造。 Generally speaking, the brush holder can be made of metal or plastic, and this applies to all embodiments. It can also be manufactured using 3D printing technology (rapid prototyping).
在如第7圖及第8圖之實施方式中，刷體夾具9採用與第4圖至第6圖大體相同的設計，但該二側邊44、46完全分離而非一體銜接，不存在基邊48。藉此，透過貫穿刷體夾具9延伸之縫隙而形成若干獨立的區段或部分，該等區段或部分被彈性元件50(在此為金屬張力彈簧)相向預拉緊。在此亦能在刷體8與刷體夾具9間形成前述之卡合連接。 In the embodiments as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the brush body holder 9 adopts substantially the same design as that of FIGS. 4 to 6, but the two sides 44 and 46 are completely separated instead of being integrated, and there is no basis Edge 48. Thereby, a plurality of independent sections or sections are formed through the gap extending through the brush body clamp 9, and these sections or sections are pre-tensioned toward each other by the elastic element 50 (here, a metal tension spring). Here, the aforementioned snap connection can also be formed between the brush body 8 and the brush body holder 9.
刷體夾具的形狀實施得與如第4圖至第6圖之實施方式相當。 The shape of the brush holder is implemented to be equivalent to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 6.
如第9圖之實施方式與如第7圖及第8圖之實施方式的區別僅在於，該二個相互分離且被形成 為獨立部分之側邊44、46透過軸承或鉸鏈而在一端上相互連接。彈性元件50(在此例如為U形扭力彈簧)將兩個區段併攏以形成卡合機構。 The embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is different from the embodiments shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 only in that the two are separated from each other and formed. The sides 44, 46 which are independent parts are connected to each other at one end through a bearing or a hinge. An elastic element 50 (here, for example, a U-torsion spring) brings the two sections together to form an engagement mechanism.
當然，亦可設置具有彈性的塑膠鉸鏈以代替圖示之彈簧。 Of course, a plastic hinge with elasticity can also be provided instead of the spring shown in the figure.
一般而言，刷體夾具亦可實施為多組件射出成型鑄件。較軟的組件可將兩個由較硬組件構成之半部連接起來。 Generally speaking, the brush holder can also be implemented as a multi-component injection molding casting. The softer component connects the two halves of the harder component.
亦可總是在第一步驟中製造相同的刷體夾具，特別是以射出成型技術製造，而後對該等刷體夾具進行個別調整(即再加工，尤指藉由銑削)以適應對應的刷體。其中，例如僅個別銑削或擴展容置口。此種用於製造刷體夾具的方法即為本發明之方法。 The same brush holder can always be manufactured in the first step, especially by injection molding technology, and then these brush holders are individually adjusted (that is, reprocessed, especially by milling) to suit the corresponding brush body. Among them, for example, only individual milling or expansion of the receptacles. Such a method for manufacturing a brush holder is the method of the present invention.
在如第10圖之實施方式中，刷體8並非像前述實施方式那樣為完整的刷子主體，而是設有開孔20之小個盤狀部件，該等盤狀部件裝設於電動牙刷並在該電動牙刷中受驅動。 In the embodiment as shown in FIG. 10, the brush body 8 is not a complete brush body as in the previous embodiment, but a small disk-shaped member provided with an opening 20. These disk-shaped members are mounted on the electric toothbrush and The electric toothbrush is driven.
將數個刷體8從背面(在此為從下方)***板狀刷體夾具9。 A plurality of brush bodies 8 are inserted into the plate-shaped brush body holder 9 from the back side (here, from below).
如第11圖所示，刷體夾具9在此亦具有止擋40，該止擋40靠近頂面且實施為向內朝容置口凸出之邊緣。 As shown in FIG. 11, the brush holder 9 also has a stop 40 here, which is close to the top surface and is implemented as an edge protruding inward toward the accommodation port.
如上述之實施方式，在本實施方式中，容置口30亦採用與刷體8的外周及外周形狀至少分段互補之設計。在圖示實施方式中，在保持邊緣32區域設有若干凹陷60。 As in the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, the accommodation port 30 is also designed to be at least segmentally complementary to the outer periphery and outer peripheral shape of the brush body 8. In the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of depressions 60 are provided in the area of the holding edge 32.
本實施方式亦透過止擋40來防止刷體9從正面脫離刷體夾具。 In this embodiment, the stopper 40 is also used to prevent the brush body 9 from detaching from the brush holder from the front.
與前述實施方式不同，本實施方式未設卡合連接，而是透過夾持效果防止刷體9向下脫落，具體為：相對於刷體8的外周，容置口32有少許的尺寸不足。當然，本實施方式亦可設置卡合連接。 Different from the foregoing embodiments, this embodiment does not provide a snap-in connection, but prevents the brush body 9 from falling downward through a clamping effect. Specifically, the receiving opening 32 is slightly undersized relative to the outer periphery of the brush body 8. Of course, this embodiment may also be provided with a snap connection.
如前所述，本實施方式的刷體夾具9亦具有若干平直的接觸面22，該等接觸面22亦部分地成對指向相反方向，以方便刷體8與刷體夾具9所組成之單元的定位並簡化製造。 As mentioned above, the brush holder 9 of this embodiment also has a number of straight contact surfaces 22, which are also partially pointed in opposite directions in pairs to facilitate the formation of the brush body 8 and the brush holder 9 Positioning of units and simplified manufacturing.
需要注意的是，刷體夾具9的外部幾何形狀首先在供定位單元7貼靠之區段(側邊44、46)之該等區段內始終保持相同，但刷體夾具9在容置口30區域採用不同構造，以便能容置不同刷體8。 It should be noted that the external geometry of the brush holder 9 is always the same in the sections (sides 44 and 46) where the positioning unit 7 abuts, but the brush holder 9 is in the receiving opening. The area 30 adopts different structures so that different brush bodies 8 can be accommodated.
該等單元在該設備中或在各站上的容置及固定由第2圖及第3圖示出。 The accommodating and fixing of the units in the equipment or at the stations is shown in Figures 2 and 3.
定位單元7具有平直的放置面62，刷體夾具9以該刷體夾具9之平直底面放置在該放置面62上。 The positioning unit 7 has a flat placing surface 62 on which the brush holder 9 is placed with the flat bottom surface of the brush holder 9.
放置面62上的保持靴64具有懸凸上緣66，該上緣66以類似於滑雪板固定裝置之方式扣住刷體夾具9的板狀區段。在刷體夾具9與此相對的另一端，可偏轉或可移動的緊固件68卡住刷體夾具9的板狀區段的頂面。放置該單元後，此等緊固件68例如藉由預緊彈簧或者以液壓、氣動或電力方式朝保持靴64方向移動。在圖示示例中，緊固件68以氣動方式偏轉或移動至打開位置，彈簧壓力則使該緊固件68運動至關閉位置。 The holding shoe 64 on the placement surface 62 has a cantilevered upper edge 66 that snaps into a plate-like section of the brush holder 9 in a manner similar to a snowboard fixture. At the other end of the brush holder 9 opposite to this, a deflectable or movable fastener 68 catches the top surface of the plate-like section of the brush holder 9. After the unit is placed, these fasteners 68 are moved towards the retaining shoe 64, for example by pre-tensioning a spring or by hydraulic, pneumatic or electric means. In the illustrated example, the fastener 68 is pneumatically deflected or moved to the open position, and the spring pressure moves the fastener 68 to the closed position.
緊固件68亦可進一步側向卡住刷體夾具9的側緣，並且將該刷體夾具9向前推向保持靴64中並抵住保持靴64。 The fastener 68 may further clamp the side edge of the brush body clamp 9 laterally, and push the brush body clamp 9 forward into the holding shoe 64 and against the holding shoe 64.
由於刷體夾具9的側緣在與緊固件68接觸的接觸區域具有形成平直接觸面24之斜角，故刷體夾具9亦側向保持並對準在兩個緊固件68之間。 Since the side edge of the brush body clamp 9 has an oblique angle forming a flat contact surface 24 in the contact area in contact with the fastener 68, the brush body clamp 9 is also held laterally and aligned between the two fasteners 68.
在刷體與刷體夾具所組成之單元***後，定位單元7的緊固件68從外部卡住側邊44、46形式之區段，從而防止刷體夾具9的可相對運動之區段向外運動至打開位置，藉此以機械方式防止刷體8被取出/拉出。 After the unit composed of the brush body and the brush holder is inserted, the fastener 68 of the positioning unit 7 catches the sections in the form of the side edges 44 and 46 from the outside, thereby preventing the relatively movable sections of the brush holder 9 from outward Move to the open position, thereby mechanically preventing the brush body 8 from being taken out / pulled out.
第13圖示出運送單元70，該運送單元70具有可相向或相背運動之卡爪72，該等卡爪72於平直接觸面22處抓持刷體夾具9。 FIG. 13 illustrates a conveying unit 70 having a claw 72 that can move toward or away from each other, and the claws 72 hold the brush body clamp 9 at the flat contact surface 22.
如第10圖之刷體夾具9在側緣與底面間的過渡區上具有斜邊74以供卡爪72卡住，並且在需要刷體夾具位於平直面上時，以便能卡入刷體夾具9下方。 As shown in FIG. 10, the brush holder 9 has a beveled edge 74 on the transition area between the side edge and the bottom surface for the claw 72 to be locked, and when the brush holder is required to be located on a flat surface, the brush holder can be clicked into 9 下。 9 below.
如第13圖所示，運送單元9例如將刷體夾具9放置在刷體8上以形成單元。 As shown in FIG. 13, the conveying unit 9 forms, for example, a brush holder 9 on the brush body 8 to form a unit.
第12圖同樣示出運送單元70，但在本示例中，該運送單元70並非用於形成上述單元，而是用於將單元送入或運離本發明之設備。在此，該等單元進站或出站或從一個站到達下一站，其中刷體8當然亦可已被塞孔或者以其他方式經進一步處理。 FIG. 12 also shows the transport unit 70, but in this example, the transport unit 70 is not used to form the above unit, but is used to transport the unit into or out of the apparatus of the present invention. Here, these units enter or exit the station or from one station to the next station, of which the brush body 8 may of course have been plugged or otherwise processed further.
第14圖示出一個使用該等單元之可選塞孔站。在此，刷毛被塞孔時尚未經切割，而是從至少一捲軸80上展開刷毛或毛束並***開孔20。接著用刀片82從刷毛切斷刷毛15或刷毛束。若從背面塞孔，則刷體夾具9須在該等刷體夾具9之背面具有相應較大的開口，以便能到達刷體8上之開孔20。為簡化起見，此處未示出刷體夾具9，但刷體8在此站上亦持久地位於該等刷體8之刷體夾具中。 Figure 14 shows an optional plughole station using these units. Here, the bristles are not cut by the plug hole, but the bristles or tufts are unrolled from at least one reel 80 and inserted into the opening 20. The bristles 15 or tufts of bristles are then cut from the bristles with a blade 82. If the hole is plugged from the back, the brush holder 9 must have a correspondingly large opening on the back of the brush holder 9 in order to reach the opening 20 in the brush body 8. For the sake of simplicity, the brush holders 9 are not shown here, but the brush bodies 8 are also permanently located in the brush holders of the brush bodies 8 at this station.
在如第15圖之實施方式中，刷體夾具9由數個部分組成，即兩個單獨製成之側邊44、46，在該等側邊44、46的頂面裝有連接板80。側邊44、46位於底板82上，該底板82可具有與刷體8的背面相匹配之互補拱形結構。 In the embodiment as shown in FIG. 15, the brush holder 9 is composed of several parts, that is, two separately made side edges 44 and 46, and a connecting plate 80 is installed on the top surfaces of the side edges 44 and 46. The side edges 44 and 46 are located on the bottom plate 82, and the bottom plate 82 may have a complementary arch structure matching the back surface of the brush body 8.
在刷體8的前端區域，連接板80略微凸出於刷體8以形成止擋32。 In the front end region of the brush body 8, the connecting plate 80 protrudes slightly from the brush body 8 to form a stop 32.
側邊44、46在刷體8的相對側緣區域具有略微凸出於刷體8的正面之保持邊緣32，該保持邊緣32在此區域形成止擋40。 The side edges 44, 46 have, in the region of the opposite side edge of the brush body 8, a retaining edge 32 protruding slightly from the front side of the brush body 8, and the retaining edge 32 forms a stop 40 in this area.
設於側邊44、46之間的未圖示彈簧將側邊44、46壓向刷體8。為此，側邊44、46可偏轉地安裝在將連接板80與底板82連接起來的軸84上。 A spring (not shown) provided between the sides 44 and 46 presses the sides 44 and 46 against the brush body 8. For this purpose, the sides 44, 46 are rotatably mounted on a shaft 84 connecting the connection plate 80 and the base plate 82.
如第15圖所示，底板82的前端具有楔形斜邊88，透過該斜面88將該底板82壓入保持靴64的大體互補之切口(Hinterschnitt)，以實現側向及豎向緊固。 As shown in FIG. 15, the front end of the bottom plate 82 has a wedge-shaped beveled edge 88, and the bottom plate 82 is pressed into a substantially complementary cutout (Hinterschnitt) of the holding shoe 64 through the inclined surface 88 to achieve lateral and vertical fastening.
進一步地，側邊44、46在該等側邊44、46與保持靴64相對之末端具有輕微指向上方的楔形斜面90，該斜面90除了向上傾斜外，還亦相對於側邊44、46的縱軸傾斜。緊固件68具有向上呈錐形擴展之末端92，該等末端92繞軸線94相向偏轉以關閉定位單元7。在第15圖所示之關閉位置上，錐形末端92壓向斜面90，以便一方面鎖定側邊44、46以防止該等側邊44、46相互分離運動。另一方面，側邊44、46亦被下壓，從而使得刷體夾具9與刷體8所組成之單元在此區域亦得到豎向定位。 Further, the side edges 44 and 46 have wedge-shaped bevels 90 that point slightly upwards at the ends of the side edges 44 and 46 that are opposite to the holding boots 64. In addition to being inclined upward, the bevels 90 are also opposite to the side edges 44 and 46. The vertical axis is tilted. The fastener 68 has ends 92 that expand conically upward, and the ends 92 are deflected toward each other about the axis 94 to close the positioning unit 7. In the closed position shown in FIG. 15, the tapered tip 92 is pressed against the inclined surface 90 so as to lock the side edges 44 and 46 on the one hand to prevent the side edges 44 and 46 from moving apart from each other. On the other hand, the sides 44 and 46 are also pressed down, so that the unit composed of the brush holder 9 and the brush body 8 is also positioned vertically in this area.
