DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0027] The detailed description and technical content of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the invention provides a grinding machine tool 100, the grinding machine tool 100 includes a housing 10, a driving assembly 20, a grinding disc 30, a switch 40 and a pressing plate 50. Specifically, the driving assembly 20 is disposed in the housing 10, the driving assembly 20 comprises a motor 21 and a working shaft 22, and the motor 21 is not limited to an electric type or a pneumatic type. The motor 21 outputs power after being started, the working shaft 22 is connected to the motor 21 and driven by the motor 21. The grinding disc 30 is connected to the working shaft 22, and the grinding disc 30 rotates with the working shaft 22 to grind an object. The switch 40 is used to determine on and off of the driving assembly 20. The switch 40 drives the driving assembly 20 to work after being operated, and stops driving the driving assembly 20 after being operated again. The pressing plate 50 is disposed on the housing 10 and capable of being operated. The pressing plate 50 determines whether to drive the driving assembly 20 or not according to an operated state of the pressing plate 50. In detail, the pressing plate has a first state when the pressing plate 50 is operated, and a second state when the pressing plate 50 is not operated. When the pressing plate 50 is in the first state, the switch 40 is acted to drive the driving assembly 20, so that the driving assembly 20 drives the grinding disc 30 to rotate. When the pressing plate 50 is in the second state, the switch 40 is no longer acted and stops driving the driving assembly 20, so that the driving assembly 20 stops driving the grinding disc 30.

[0029] When the switch 40 stops driving the driving assembly 20, the grinding disc 30 no longer receives a kinetic energy output by the driving assembly 20, but the grinding disc 30 will continue to rotate subject to an inertia effect of the driving assembly 20 and the grinding disc 30 itself. In this regard, in order to prevent the grinding disc 30 from idling, the grinding machine tool 100 of the invention is provided with a grinding disc braking structure 60 which is forced by the pressing plate 50 when the pressing plate 50 is operated to provide braking for the grinding disc 30. In detail, please together refer to FIG. 7, the grinding disc 30 has a grinding surface 31 and a non-grinding surface 32. The grinding surface 31 is disposed on a side of the grinding disc 30 facing the object, and the grinding surface 31 is used for grinding the object to be ground. The non-grinding surface 32 can be a surface disposed on another side of the grinding disc 30 facing the housing 10, or be disposed on an inclined side of the grinding disc 30 connected with the surface mentioned above, and the non-grinding surface 32 is not used for grinding. When the grinding disc braking structure 60 contacts the non-grinding surface 32 (the surface or the inclined side of the grinding disc 30), the grinding disc braking structure 60 produces a resistance for the grinding disc 30 to stop the grinding disc 30 from rotating.

[0030] For a more detailed explanation of implementation of the grinding machine tool 100, please refer to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8.

[0031] Assuming initially that the pressing plate 50 is not operated, the pressing plate 50 is in the second state and the grinding disc 30 is not driven. At this time, the grinding disc 30 is in contact with the grinding disc braking structure 60 and is completely stationary, as shown in FIG. 7. When the pressing plate 50 is operated, the pressing plate 50 turns into the first state, and the switch 40 is acted to drive the driving assembly 20 so that the grinding disc 30 starts to rotate. At the same time, the grinding disc braking structure 60 is forced by the pressing plate 50 to move away from the non-grinding surface 32 of the non-grinding surface 32, so that the grinding disc braking structure 60 is detached from the non-grinding surface 32, and a spacing 601 is maintained between the grinding disc braking structure 60 and the non-grinding surface 32. The grinding disc 30 is capable of rotating without the resistance of the grinding disc braking structure 60, as shown in FIG. 8. When the pressing plate 50 is no longer operated, the pressing plate 50 then turns into the second state. The switch 40 stops driving the driving assembly 20 so that the grinding disc 30 is no longer driven. At this time, the grinding disc braking structure 60 moves toward the non-grinding surface 32 and contacts the grinding disc 30, so that the grinding disc 30 is braked by the grinding disc braking structure 60, and then stops rotating.

[0032] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 again. It can be known from the above that in order for the invention to solve the problem that the conventional grinding disc 75 idles when the conventional grinding disc 75 stops being driven, the grinding disc braking structure 60 is provided on the grinding machine tool 100, so that the grinding disc 30 can be braked by the grinding disc braking structure 60 when the grinding disc 30 stops being driven, and rotation of the grinding disc 30 can be stopped quickly. In addition, the grinding disc braking structure 60 of the invention provides braking only when the grinding disc 30 is not driven. When the grinding disc 30 is driven, the grinding disc braking structure 60 does not contact the grinding disc 30, and the grinding disc braking structure 60 does not produce resistance force on the grinding disc 30 when the grinding disc 30 is rotating, thereby reducing a loss of kinetic energy output by the driving assembly 20, and further improving the problem that the conventional brake lining 76 wears out quickly due to the conventional brake lining 76 rubbing the grinding disc 75 over a long period of time.

[0033] Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 7. In one embodiment, the grinding disc braking structure 60 comprises at least one connecting rod 61 and a brake block 64 disposed on the connecting rod 61. The least one connecting rod 61 faces the pressing plate 50, and the brake block 64 is disposed on the connecting rod 61 and is moved along with the connecting rod 61. When the pressing plate 50 turns into the second state, the least one connecting rod 61 is forced by the pressing plate 50 so that the brake block 64 is in contact with the non-grinding surface 32.

[0034] Further, the housing 10 is formed with a first assembling portion 11; the pressing plate 50 is formed with at least one hole 51; and the grinding machine tool 100 includes a first shaft 80, wherein the at least one hole 51 is disposed corresponding to the first assembling portion 11, and the first shaft 80 is disposed in the first assembling portion 11 and the at least one hole 51. When the pressing plate 50 is operated to turn into the first state from the second state, the pressing plate 50 is capable of displacing toward the housing 10 through the first shaft 80. The least one connecting rod 61 and the switch 40 are located on a displacement path of the pressing plate 50, so that the pressing plate 50 presses the least one connecting rod 61 and the switch 40 when the pressing plate 50 turns into the first state.

[0035] Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, and FIG. 7. In one embodiment, the number of the at least one connecting rod 61 is plural, and the connecting rods 61 are pivotally connected with one another, one of the connecting rods 61 is provided for disposing the brake block 64, and another one of the connecting rods 61 is forced by the pressing plate 50. In addition, for the convenience of description hereinafter, one of the connecting rods 61 provided with the brake block 64 is defined as a first connecting rod 612, another one of the connecting rods 61 forced by the pressing plate 50 is defined as a second connecting rod 613. In one embodiment, the second connecting rod 613 is pivotally connected with the first connecting rod 612 directly. In another embodiment, other connecting rods 61 are assembled between the second connecting rod 613 and the first connecting rod 612. The first connecting rod 612 is forced by the second connecting rod 613 after the second connecting rod 613 is forced by the pressing plate 50.

[0036] Further, the grinding disc braking structure 60 comprises a torsion spring 65. The torsion spring 65 is disposed on the housing 10 and is in contact with the second connecting rod 613. The torsion spring 65 includes a first arm 651 and a second arm 652, the first arm 651 butts against the housing 10, the second arm 652 butts against the second connecting rod 613. When the second connecting rod 613 is forced by the pressing plate 50, the torsion spring 65 is pressed by the second connecting rod 613 from the second arm 652, and so that an elastic potential energy is stored in the torsion spring 65. When the second connecting rod 613 is no longer forced by the pressing plate 50, the elastic acting force is released, and the torsion spring 65 pushes the second connecting rod 613 via the second arm 652 to reset the second connecting rod 613.

[0037] The housing 10 comprises a second assembling portion 12; the second connecting rod 613 comprises at least one opening 614 corresponding to the second assembling portion 12; the grinding disc braking structure 60 comprises a second shaft 66. The second shaft 66 is assembled with the torsion spring 65 and is disposed in the second assembling portion 12 and the opening 614. The second shaft 66 is provided as a fulcrum for movement of the second connecting rod 613, and the fulcrum enables two ends of the second connecting rod 613 to swing relative to the housing 10 when the second connecting rod 613 are forced by the pressing plate 50 or are pushed against by the torsion spring 65. In addition, one of the two ends of the second connecting rod 613 is a working end 615, and another end of the second connecting rod 613 is a swinging end 616. The working end 615 is forced by the pressing plate 50, and the swinging end 616 is directly or indirectly connected to the first connecting rod 612. Since the swinging end 616 is affected by a gravitational effect of the first connecting rod 612, the second connecting rod 613 is assembled with the housing 10 in an inclined manner, that is to say, the second connecting rod 613 is assembled with the housing 10 in a position that a horizontal height of the working end 615 is greater than a horizontal height of the swinging end 616. In one embodiment, when the second connecting rod 613 is directly pivotally connected to the first connecting rod 612, the swinging end 616 is formed with at least one through hole 617, and the first connecting rod 612 is formed with at least one perforation 618 aligning with the at least one through hole 617. The grinding disc braking structure 60 includes a third shaft 67 disposed in the at least one through hole 617 and the at least one perforation 618, so that the swinging end 616 is pivotally connected to the first connecting rod 612 through the third shaft 67. When the working end 615 is pressed by the pressing plate 50, the swinging end 616 lifts the first connecting rod 612 based on lever action. Further, in another embodiment, the second connecting rod 613 is formed with an auxiliary working block 620 extending from the working end 615 toward the pressing plate 50, wherein an extension direction of the auxiliary working block 620 is different from an inclined direction of the second connecting rod 613, thereby assisting the pressing plate 50 to press the working end 615.

[0038] Please refer to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. In one embodiment, the housing 10 is formed with an assembly boss 13 facing the pressing plate 50, and the assembly boss 13 is provided for the switch 40 to be disposed thereon. The assembly boss 13 is adjacent to the working end 615 and does not interfere with movement of the second connecting rod 613. In detail, a center line 52 is defined on the pressing plate 50 as shown in FIG. 5, the working end 615 is located on the center line 52, and the assembly boss 13 is located on one side of the working end 615, so that the switch 40 is disposed offsetly from the center line 52. It should be noted that a disposing range of the switch 40 must be within an area where the pressing plate 50 is capable of contacting the switch 40 simultaneously when the pressing plate 50 presses the working end 615, so that the pressing plate 50 is capable of forcing the working end 615 and forcing the switch 40 at the same time.

[0039] Further, the second connecting rod 613 comprises a rod body 621 and an extension arm 622. The rod body 621 is provided with the working end 615 and the swinging end 616, and the rod body 621 is disposed on the housing 10. The rod body 621 is formed with a hollow area 623 which prevents the second connecting rod 613 from interfering with the second assembling portion 12 when the second connecting rod 613 swings. The extension arm 622 extends from one side of the rod body 621, and the extension arm 622 provides the second arm 652 of the torsion spring 65 to butt thereon. In one embodiment, the extension arm 622 is formed with an assembly opening 624, the assembly opening 624 and the opening 614 are located on a same extension line, and the opening 614 is provided for the second shaft 66 to insert therein.
