Abstract
A grinding machine for grinding non-horizontal grinding surfaces comprises a deformation device which is disposed between a grinding power source and a grinding pad driven by the grinding power source. The deformation device includes a set of an offset unit and the deformation members disposed near one end of the grinding pad, wherein the offset units, the first deformation member and the second deformation member define deformation angles. Therefore, one end of the grinding pad is correspondingly fitted to various non-horizontal grinding surfaces independently through the variable angles of the deformation angle, especially for continuous irregular non-horizontal grinding surfaces. Thus, the present invention has excellent grinding effectiveness.

A grinding machine for grinding non-horizontal grinding surfaces, comprising:
- a grinding power source and a grinding pad driven by the grinding power source to perform a grinding stroke on a non-horizontal grinding surface, the grinding pad being made of an elastic material and being configured to take a deformed state for adapting to the non-horizontal grinding surface;
- and a deformation device disposed between the grinding power source and the grinding pad, the deformation device comprising at least one receiving unit for holding the grinding power source, and two offset units disposed between the grinding pad and the receiving unit, wherein the receiving unit defines a reference horizontal line, and the two offset units are respectively disposed near two opposite ends of the receiving unit, wherein each of the two offset units is provided with at least one first deformation member connected between each offset units and the receiving unit, and each offset unit having at least two second deformation members disposed oppositely of each first deformation member and connected between each offset unit and the grinding pad;
- wherein when the grinding pad performs the grinding stroke on the non-horizontal grinding surface to generate the deformed state, the at least one first deformation member of either of the two offset units is deformed independently to define a first deformation angle formed between the respective offset unit and the reference horizontal line of the receiving unit, and one of the at least two second deformation members of either of the two offset units is deformed to define a second deformation angle formed between the grinding pad and the reference horizontal line of the receiving unit.
