Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the machines used for overflowing which it is normally necessary to apply by machining to a spectacle lens in order to adjust the outline thereof to that of the circle or surrounding of spectacle frame that he must equip.
- these machines which comprises at least one cutting tool, such as a grinding wheel or a milling cutter, rotatably mounted on a frame, a rocker, pivotally mounted on this frame around an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the cutting tool, a support spindle, rotatably mounted on the rocker about an axis also parallel to the axis of rotation of the cutting tool and adapted to receive, axially, vertically of the cutting tool, the glass to be machined, and, at a distance from this glass, a template, and, carried by the frame directly above this template, to provide support for the rocker by means of that -this and thus stop at a set point to respect the relative engagement movement of the glass with respect to the cutting tool, a touch, commonly called vernier head.
- a cutting tool such as a grinding wheel or a milling cutter
- the template can be directly around the circle or around the frame of the spectacle frame to be fitted, and, in this case, the button can be fixed.
- the template may be of circular outline, and, in this case, the associated key is mounted movably on the frame under the control of control means which, restoring the shape data which are transmitted to them by a device reading of the contour to which the circle or surrounding of the spectacle frame to be fitted is subjected as a corollary, at any time impose on this key, for a given angular orientation of the support spindle carrying the lens to be machined, a determined reference dimension.
- This bearing load usually results from the combined effect of the weight of the rocker and additional means used for this purpose.
- Additional means comprise for example a counterweight mounted adjustable in position on the rocker transversely relative to the pivot axis thereof.
- the additional means used may also include elastic means.
- these elastic means which are for example formed by a preloaded spring, are established between the rocker and the frame, and they are thus effectively capable of urging this rocker in the direction of the key carried by the frame.
- the present invention generally relates to a provision making it possible to satisfy this double requirement very simply.
- a machine for overflowing glasses of the kind comprising at least one cutting tool, such as a grinding wheel or a milling cutter, which is rotatably mounted on a frame, a rocker, which is mounted pivoting on this frame about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the cutting tool, a support spindle, which is rotatably mounted on the rocker around an axis also parallel to the axis of rotation of the cutting tool, and that is adapted to receive, axially, perpendicular to the cutting tool, the glass to be machined, and, at a distance from this glass, a template, and, carried by the frame below this template, a touch, with, between the rocker and the frame, elastic means capable of urging this rocker in the direction of this key, this machine being generally characterized in that, the key being movably mounted on the frame, there is provided, between the rocker and it, in addition to the elastic means intervening between the rocker and the frame and hereinafter called simply for convenience
- this additional support load is at most equal to only a fraction of that due to the main elastic means.
- this additional support load during machining it is therefore sufficient to ensure that the key is at all times only a short distance from the template, by consequently controlling its movement.
- this key being precisely subjected to displacement control means, these are for this purpose themselves under the control of piloting means allowing, if desired, to temporarily confer on the key, for a given angular orientation of the support spindle carrying the glass, a dimension with respect to the template less than the reference dimension normally to be observed for the machining of this glass in this angular orientation of this support pin.
- the bearing load is mainly due in this case only to the main elastic means, the auxiliary elastic means being somehow inhibited.
- This bearing load is then substantially constant, and, by construction, it can be made relatively moderate, which is perfectly suitable for the machining of fine or fragile glass.
- the additional bearing load induced by the auxiliary elastic means then takes its full value, while decreasing as the machining proceeds.
- the overflowing machine 11 comprises, overall, at least one cutting tool 12, such as a grinding wheel or a milling cutter for example, which, under the control of a motor 13, is rotatably mounted on a frame not shown in all its details, along an axis of rotation A1 shown diagrammatically in broken lines in FIG. 1, a rocker 14, which, according to the double arrow F in FIG. 1, is pivotally mounted on the frame around an axis A2 parallel to the axis of rotation A1 of the cutting tool 12 and shown diagrammatically in broken lines in FIG.
- a cutting tool 12 such as a grinding wheel or a milling cutter for example
- the template 16 is of circular outline, and, jointly, and according to arrangements described in more detail later, the key 17 is movably mounted on the frame.
- the template 16 is a drum fitted on the support pin 15 at the end thereof.
- it may be a simple disc.
- bracket 18 Only a part of the frame has been shown elsewhere in the figures, for simplification thereof, in this case a bracket 18.
- the key 17 is carried by this bracket 18, while being subjected to displacement control means 20.
- these displacement control means 20 comprise a nut 21, which carries the key 17 or forms by itself such a key 17, a screw 22, with which the nut 21 is in screwed engagement and which is rotatably mounted on the frame, and, more precisely, on the bracket 18, and a motor 23, which is also carried by this bracket 18, and the output shaft 24 of which drives the screw 22 or forms by itself such a screw 22.
- the nut 21 actually forms the key 17 by itself, and, likewise, the output shaft 24 of the motor 23 effectively forms the screw 22 by itself.
- the nut 21 and the screw 22 jointly form what is commonly called a ball screw.
- these elastic means 25, here called main elastic means consist of a simple tension spring preloaded and coupled to the rocker 14 at one of its ends and to the square 18 to the other of these.
- the point of action of these main elastic means 25 on the lever 14, materialized by a stud 26 provided laterally projecting thereon, parallel to its pivot axis A2, is located beyond of this pivot axis A2 with respect to their point of attachment 27 on the frame, and more precisely on the bracket 18.
- auxiliary elastic means 28 there is provided, between the rocker 14 and the key 17, in addition to the main elastic means 25 intervening between this rocker 14 and the frame, auxiliary elastic means 28 also capable of urging the rocker 14 towards key 17.
- these auxiliary elastic means 28 are constituted by a simple tension spring coupled to the rocker 14 at one of its ends and to the key 17 at the other thereof.
- this tension spring is coupled at one of its ends to the support pin 15 carried by the rocker 14, and, at the other of its ends, it is coupled to a stud 29 provided laterally projecting at this effect on the nut 21 forming the key 17, parallel to this support pin 15.
- this fraction is around a third.
- the force exerted on the rocker 14 by the tension spring constituting the main elastic means 25 is of the order of approximately 3 kg, while that exerted by the tension spring constituting the auxiliary elastic means 28 is of the order of approximately 1 kg.
- the bearing load induced at the level of the glass 10 by the auxiliary elastic means 28 is substantially zero.
- D1 be the distance then existing between the attachment points of the auxiliary elastic means 28, one materialized by the support pin 15 and the other by the stud 29.
- the key 17 is placed directly at the reference dimension normally to be observed for the machining of the latter.
- the displacement control means 20 of this key 17 can for this purpose be under the control of piloting means 30 restoring to them the shape data they receive from a device contour reading not shown.
- This tension spring is then tensioned, and it therefore adds its effects to those of the tension spring constituting the main elastic means 25.
- the distance D2 decreases, until, at the end of the machining, and as shown in FIG. 4, it returns to the value of the previous distance D1.
- the tension spring constituting the auxiliary elastic means 28 is then relaxed again, and the bearing load at the level of the glass 10 is no longer due only to the main elastic means 25.
- the glass 10 to be machined is a thin or fragile glass.
- the key 17 is then temporarily given a dimension relative to the template 16 less than the reference dimension normally to be observed for the machining of the glass 10 in this angular orientation of the spindle support 15.
- the corresponding distance D'2 is therefore less than the previous distance D2.
- control means 30 are established accordingly.
- the tension spring constituting the auxiliary elastic means 28 is relaxed, or practically relaxed.
- the glass 10 is only subjected to the support load induced by the main elastic means 25, the auxiliary elastic means 28 being somewhat inhibited.
