Abstract
A grinding cup includes a wear part having a cavity at its front end, the cavity configured for grinding a button of a rock drill bit. A flush channel extends forwardly through the wear part and terminates at the cavity for conducting a flushing medium thereto. The flush channel is spaced from a center axis of rotation of the grinding cup by a distance greater than 2% and less than 30% of a largest diameter of the cavity.
Claims14
A grinding cup adapted to be mounted in a grinding machine and comprising:
- a carrier including a shank having a first flush channel extending longitudinally therethrough, and being rotatable about an axis of rotation;
- and a wear part mounted at a forward end of the carrier, the wear part including a front end in the form of a cavity configured to grind a button of a rock drilling bit, and a plurality of second flush channels each extending from a rear end of the wear part to an outlet disposed at the cavity, the second flush channels communicating with the first flush channel and having their outlets spaced radially from the axis of rotation, the outlet of one of the second flush channels spaced circumferentially from the outlet of another of the second flush channels, wherein a portion of the outlet of one of the second flush channels is disposed radially beyond an outer border line of the cavity, and a remaining portion of the outlet of the one second flush channel is disposed radially inside of the outer border line.
A wear part adapted to be mounted in a grinding machine, the wear part including a front end in the form of a cavity configured to grind a button of a rock drilling bit, and a plurality of flush channels each extending from a rear end of the wear part to an outlet at the cavity and adapted to conduct a flushing medium to the cavity, the outlets of the flush channels being spaced radially from a center axis of the wear part, the outlet of one of the flush channels spaced circumferentially from an outlet of another of the flush channels, wherein the outlets are radially spaced from the center axis by a distance greater than 2% of a largest diameter of the cavity.
A wear part adapted to be mounted in a grinding machine, the wear part including a front end in the form of a cavity configured to grind a button of a rock drilling bit, and a flush channel extending from a rear end of the wear part to an outlet at the cavity and adapted to conduct a flushing medium to the cavity, the outlet of the flush channel being spaced radially from a center axis of the wear part, wherein a portion of the outlet is situated radially outside of an outer border line of the cavity, and a remaining portion of the outlet is situated radially inside of the outer border line.
