Description

Lime électrique Electric file
La présente invention concerne une lime entraînée par un moteur électrique.The present invention relates to a file driven by an electric motor.
Une lime électrique usuelle comporte typiquement un moteur électrique à axe rotatif et une partie de lime plate, circulaire, fixée à l'axe du moteur et entraînée en rotation par celui-ci. Un exemple d'application de telles limes électriques est celui des limes à ongles qui comportent généralement un boîtier dans lequel sont logés le moteur et des piles électriques, l'axe du moteur sortant du boîtier et permettant la fixation d'une partie de lime essentiellement en forme de disque.A conventional electric file typically comprises an electric motor with a rotary axis and a part of a flat, circular file, fixed to the axis of the motor and driven in rotation by the latter. An example of application of such electric files is that of the nail files which generally comprise a box in which the motor and electric batteries are housed, the axis of the motor leaving the box and allowing the fixing of a file part essentially. disc-shaped.
Un avantage des limes électriques usuelles est leur faible coût de production dû à la simplicité de l'entraînement et en particulier au prix relativement bas des moteurs utilisés. Elles présentent, en revanche, plusieurs inconvénients.An advantage of the usual electric files is their low production cost due to the simplicity of the drive and in particular to the relatively low price of the motors used. However, they have several drawbacks.
Un inconvénient majeur est le fait que la rotation de la partie de lime peut entraîner la pièce ou la partie à limer, ce qui n'est non seulement pas souhaitable, mais aussi potentiellement dangereux. De plus, comme la surface de la partie de lime en forme de disque se déplace à une vitesse croissante du centre à la périphérie, l'action de la lime n'est pas uniforme dans le sens radial. En outre, la partie de lime plate et circulaire ne permet que difficilement, ou pas du tout, d'accéder à des angles ou autres espaces étroits.A major drawback is that the rotation of the file part can cause the part or the part to be filed, which is not only undesirable, but also potentially dangerous. In addition, since the surface of the disc-shaped file part moves at an increasing speed from the center to the periphery, the action of the file is not uniform in the radial direction. In addition, the flat circular part of the file makes it difficult, or not at all, to access angles or other narrow spaces.
Un but de l'invention est de fournir une lime électrique qui permette de surmonter les inconvénients susmentionnés. En outre, il est souhaitable de réaliser une lime électrique efficace, fiable et de faible coût. On entend par lime, dans le présent contexte, un outil ayant une surface de travail plus ou moins abrasive permettant d'enlever des parcelles de matière d'une pièce, par exemple pour la configurer ou la polir. La présente lime électrique qui comporte une partie de lime, un moteur électrique, un mécanisme d'entraînement assurant le couplage de la partie de lime avec le moteur, ainsi qu'un boîtier, présente la caractéristique que le mécanisme d'entraînement comporte un organe de transmission du mouvement sous forme d'un bras agence de façon à pouvoir osciller autour d'un pivot, un dispositif de couplage excentrique étant disposé entre le moteur et ledit bras, de façon que la rotation de l'axe du moteur entraîne le bras en oscillation, la partie de lime étant montée sur ledit bras à proximité d'une extrémité de ce bras éloignée du pivotAn object of the invention is to provide an electric file which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks. In addition, it is desirable to produce an efficient, reliable and low-cost electric file. The term “file” is understood to mean, in the present context, a tool having a more or less abrasive working surface making it possible to remove plots of material from a part, for example to configure or polish it. The present electric file which comprises a file part, an electric motor, a drive mechanism ensuring the coupling of the file part with the motor, as well as a housing, has the characteristic that the drive mechanism comprises a member. for transmitting the movement in the form of an arm arranged so as to be able to oscillate around a pivot, an eccentric coupling device being arranged between the motor and said arm, so that the rotation of the axis of the motor drives the arm in oscillation, the file part being mounted on said arm near an end of this arm remote from the pivot
La lime oscillante selon l'invention ne risque pas d'entraîner l'objet à limer et permet de travailler en toute sécurité de façon précise et sans difficulté Elle permet notamment, selon la forme de la partie de lime, d'accéder à des espaces très étroitsThe oscillating file according to the invention does not risk entraining the object to be filed and makes it possible to work in complete safety in a precise manner and without difficulty. It allows in particular, depending on the shape of the file part, to access spaces very narrow

Le moteur électrique 8 est un moteur rotatif usuel à courant continu, ayant par exemple une vitesse de rotation de l'ordre de 10000 tours/minute, de sorte qu'il engendre une oscillation du bras 10 à une fréquence d'environ 150 à 200 Hertz. L'excursion de la partie de lime autour d'une position médiane est par exemple de l'ordre de ± 1 mm pour une dimension courante du boîtier. Le faible déplacement de la partie de lime et la fréquence relativement élevée du mouvement oscillant permettent de travailler avec précision, sans heurts et sans risque de blessures pour l'utilisateur. Les vibrations de l'appareil peuvent être absorbées par le boîtier ce qui augmente la précision et le confort de l'utilisation.The electric motor 8 is a conventional direct current rotary motor, for example having a rotational speed of the order of 10,000 revolutions / minute, so that it generates an oscillation of the arm 10 at a frequency of about 150 to 200 Hertz. The excursion of the file part around a median position is for example of the order of ± 1 mm for a current size of the case. The small displacement of the file part and the relatively high frequency of the oscillating movement allow to work with precision, smoothly and without risk of injury to the user. The vibrations of the device can be absorbed by the housing which increases the precision and the comfort of use.
