Technical Field

The subject of the invention is an irrigation system in corrosion and polishing machines, and relates to cooling of the discs by preventing the heating, burning and corrosion problems of the process-induced discs by ensuring that the water supplied during polishing, varnishing, and similar processes to come from the top of the sprayer connected on a sliding duct positioned on a mudguard of the disc group.

Prior Art

Corrosion and polishing machines consist of a body, a motor in the body, a shaft that is connected to the motor on both sides and rotates with the motor movement, discs that are connected to the shafts and used for polishing, shaping, polishing, and similar processes. The rotation speed of the discs is adjusted according to the speed ranges that change in accordance with the operations to be performed. This speed range adjustment is provided by the potentiometer (wheel button) positioned on the machine. There are coatings suitable for the process to be performed on said discs. Plurality of ring- shaped discs, which have emery thereon and which perform shaping with emery diamonds can be connected to these shafts for shaping.

In the state of the art, shaping can be performed in a dry manner in addition to polishing, cleaning, varnishing, and similar processes. However, the surfaces on these usage discs required to be cooled after getting warm, wear, burn and similar problems depending on the length of use.

In the state of the art, in order to prevent these damages, a bucket is placed under the counter where the machine is located, water is placed inside the bucket, and the water is carried by a hose drawn from the bucket. While the carried water is being processed in the corrosion and polishing machine, it is positioned such that it is coming from under the discs, and the water is given in the form of spray. In single underfeed systems, the water feed, one each on the right and left of the machine, has been reduced to two. The water feeds placed from the bottom were moved to the right and left, thereby cooling the discs by wetting them. The water droplets sprayed from the bottom up are rapidly pushed by the discs and the discs cannot be sufficiently wetted. In this case, it causes the diamond discs to not be sufficiently wetted, and therefore, said discs cannot be cooled. Due to the low water pressure from the bottom, the water sent may be insufficient. This reduces the life of the emery diamonds on the discs. In addition, as the pipe diameter required to send water increase, the water pressure required for upward spraying cannot be provided.

In the prior art, there are overfeed systems used up until today. However, these systems are valve systems, one to be placed on each fixed disc. The disadvantage of these systems is that they consist of 6 valves for a total of 6 right and left discs of the machine, 6 fixed hoses connected thereto and the main hoses to which these hoses are connected. These main hoses are connected to the pump. Feeding all hoses through a single main hose increases the clogging problem and causes the hoses not to be cleaned. In addition to this, the valves have to be closed and opened manually one by one during use, when switching from disc to disc. This both causes a lot of workload and prevents the smooth running of the work.

Problems in the state of the art necessitated an R.&D study in the relevant field.

Objects of the Invention

The present invention is an irrigation system in corrosion and polishing machines, and it aims to cool the discs in order to prevent the problems of heating, burning and damage to the discs by means of that the water drawn by a thin hose comes from the spray nozzle of the sliding duct on the discs connected to the system during shaping, polishing, varnishing, and similar processes.

The aim of the invention is to provide ease of use by adjusting the direction of the water according to the process area, by means of the movable spray nozzle positioned on the connected sliding duct system at the top of the discs system in order to adjust the water ratio easily during processing in corrosion and polishing machines.

The inventive irrigation system configuration in corrosion and polishing machine consists of the parts of; a mudguard (9) connected to the group of discs, which are connected to the shafts (7) located on both sides of the body for protection purposes, a sliding duct (6) located on the mudguard (9), a slide duct projection (4) that sits on the sliding duct (6) and is connected to the bottom of the sprayer (3), irrigation heads (5) where water flows under the slide duct projection (4), a hose (2) that allows for coming the water in the system to the sprayer (3), a valve (1) to which the hose (2) is connected. The novelty in the irrigation systems in the corrosion and polishing machines that are the subject of the invention is a system that takes over the multiple hoses, multi-valve systems, single but bottom-supplied water system, and eliminates the disadvantages thereof. Only one sprayer (3) is used for both disc groups in the irrigation system comprising a sprayer (3), which is the subject of the invention.

By means of the sliding duct (6) positioned on the mudguard (9), the sprayer (3) is moved to the right and/or left side. The sprayer (3) used ensures that the water needed by the system for processing is sprayed, wherein said sprayer is connected to a valve (1) that can change the direction of the water in the corrosion and polishing machines (8) whichever side it is to be worked on by means of a hose (2). The sprayer (3), which is opened on the mudguard (9) and is placed on the sliding duct (6) that travels all the discs, with the sliding duct projection (4) in the corrosion and polishing machines moves easily left and right on said sliding duct (6) and ensures that the cooling water reaches the desired disc.

The disadvantage of bottom spray systems, which is one of the previous techniques, is that the water coming from below removes from the environment as soon as it hits the discs. Therefore, the discs cannot get enough water in bottom-spray systems, and this causes the discs to heat up and shorten their life.

Even if the water coming from the top is quickly removed by the disc, it hits the mudguard (9) back and flows again, and thus the water hitting the discs does not remove from the discs by means of the inventive irrigation system. However, by cooling better the discs, the diamonds thereon are prevented from being damaged due to overheating.

In the prior art, the surfaces of the discs are damaged due to the fact that the water, which is desired to be drawn from bottom to up, is sprayed less since the pressure is not sufficient.

By means of the irrigation system that is the subject of the invention, since water spraying will be provided from the top of the discs group to be applied via the sprayer (3) and the irrigation heads (5) connected thereto, there is no need for an extra pressure to spray the water, and the water requirement is met in order to prevent the surfaces of the discs group from being damaged during the process. In addition, the subject of the invention provides more water savings compared to the prior art. By means of the irrigation heads (5) connected to the bottom surface of the sprayer (3), water is always delivered to the correct area. Also, while the water pressure should increase as the hose diameter increases the prior art, this problem is solved by means of the subject of the invention due to working with thin hoses (2) as the hose (2) dimension. The hoses (2) used in the present invention are made of special rubber, soft, flexible material (Said hose (2) material can also be manufactured from other products, here, rubber does not represent a limitation). By means of these flexible hoses (2), the sludge accumulated in the hoses (2) can be rubbed by hand and the sludge plaques accumulated in the hose (2) can be cleaned.

By means of the inventive irrigation system, the discs, which are consumables, are prevented from being damaged due to insufficient water and the life of the consumables is increased by 50%.
