ATTACHMENT/DETACHMENT MECHANISM FOR GRINDING WHEEL, GRINDING DEVICE, ATTACHMENT/DETACHMENT JIG FOR GRINDING WHEEL, AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING GRINDING WHEEL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an attachment/detachment mechanism for a grinding wheel by which the grinding wheel is simply and easily mounted to a wheel mounter, and which sufficiently supplies a grinding liquid to a contact part of the grinding wheel with a workpiece and can be used both in an in-feed system and a creep-feed system. SOLUTION: The attachment/detachment mechanism 10 has a rotatable spindle 200, the wheel mounter 300 formed at the tip part of the spindle, and the grinding wheel 400 mounted to the wheel mounter. In the mechanism, an engaging part 310 for the engagement of a flange 500 is provided in the wheel mounter. The engaging part provided in the wheel mounter is engaged with an engagement receiving part of the flange by interposing a through-hole 410 provided in the grinding wheel by using the flange 500 having the engagement receiving part 510 for the engagement of the engaging part of the wheel mounter. Consequently, the grinding wheel is fixed to the wheel mounter. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
