AI Technical Summary
The mating surfaces between the existing milling machine tool holder and tool support are mainly inclined surfaces, which causes part of the feedback force on the milling cutter to be converted into a force along the axial direction of the tool holder, resulting in the tool holder becoming loose and falling off, and unable to be reliably held.
The design employs a combination of conical or spherical removal surfaces and limiting structures to ensure stable installation of the tool holder and tool base. The arc-shaped transition surface and limiting structure prevent the tool holder from loosening along the axis of the fixed shank. Assembly is performed using clamping bolts.
It achieves continuous automatic assembly and pre-tightening of the tool holder, preventing loosening, reducing processing and maintenance costs, and improving the service life and stability of the tool holder.

Abstract
Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of milling machine tool holder technology, and more specifically relates to a tool holder system for road operation machines. Background technology:
[0002] Tool holder system: A working device for road operation machinery, such as milling cutters mounted on the milling drum of a road milling machine, which can be used for milling and resurfacing of road surfaces. It mainly consists of two parts: the tool holder and the tool support.
[0003] Milling machine: One of the main types of machinery for asphalt pavement maintenance and construction, and one of the main equipment for asphalt concrete pavement maintenance and construction. It is mainly used for excavation and renovation of asphalt concrete pavement in highways, urban roads, airports, freight yards, etc. It can also be used to clean up defects such as road surface bumps, oil waves, textures, and ruts. It can also be used to excavate road potholes and trenches, as well as roughen cement pavement and mill level surface misalignments.
[0004] With my country's economic development and enhanced comprehensive national strength, the trends of urbanization in towns and villages, the expansion of small and medium-sized cities, and the landscaping of large and medium-sized cities are becoming increasingly apparent. The highway transportation industry is developing rapidly, and the number of urban road reconstruction, expansion, and construction projects is also increasing, leading to a growing demand for road milling machines. However, this also results in more frequent replacements of milling cutters. Therefore, the mainstream solution in the industry is a milling cutter system. This system involves mounting the milling cutter on a tool holder via a snap ring structure. The cutter can rotate around the axis of the mounting hole within the tool holder but cannot move out along that axis. Furthermore, the tool holder and the tool seat mounted on the milling drum are fitted together through a designed assembly surface and assembled using clamping bolts. These clamping bolts engage with threaded holes on the tool seat, and after being tightened, they press firmly against the fixed shank end of the tool holder, thereby extending the service life of the milling cutter system.
[0005] However, a strong alternating load is introduced into the machining tool held in the tool holder and transmitted to the base. This alternating stress is applied to the mating surface between the tool holder and the base. Especially when milling very hard surfaces, the positional surface between the tool holder and the base may widen or deflect. Consequently, it is no longer guaranteed that the tool holder will be reliably held in the base.
[0006] National utility model patent with patent number 201610825926.3 discloses a tool holder that solves the above problems well. However, the mating surfaces of the tool holder and the tool seat in this structure are mostly inclined surfaces. Because the inclined surface forms a certain angle with the axis of the tool holder fixing handle, the force from the feedback of the milled road surface on the milling cutter is transmitted to the tool holder, as well as the rotational force on the tool holder. Part of the effect of these forces is converted into an outward force along the axial direction of the tool holder. This part of the force will force the tool holder to loosen and fall off. Utility Model Content:
[0007] To solve the above problems and overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a tool holder system for road operation machinery;
[0008] The first technical problem to be solved is that the mating surfaces of the tool holder and the tool support are mostly inclined planes. Because the inclined planes are at a certain angle to the axis of the tool holder fixing shank, the force of feedback from the milled road surface on the milling cutter is transmitted to the tool holder, as well as the rotational force on the tool holder. Part of the effect of these forces is converted into an outward force along the axis of the tool holder, which will force the tool holder to loosen and fall off.
[0009] The specific technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the tool holder includes a tool holder body; a fixing handle is directly or indirectly connected to the tool holder body on the insertion sleeve side, and the machining side of the tool holder body away from the insertion sleeve side has a tool receiving portion.
[0010] The tool holder body is provided with a removal surface at the connection between it and the fixed handle. The removal surface is conical or spherical. The fixed handle is directly or indirectly connected to the conical or spherical removal surface.
[0011] Furthermore, the machining side includes at least one tool receiving opening with a longitudinal axis that is open toward the tool insertion side of the tool holder body on the tool receiving portion.
[0012] Furthermore, a preset number of contact surfaces are provided on the circular sidewall of the fixed handle, with the contact surfaces spaced apart from each other.
[0013] Furthermore, the contact surface is composed of a first contact surface and a second contact surface set at a preset angle.
[0014] Furthermore, a receiving portion for tightening bolts is provided on the circular sidewall of the fixing handle that abuts the cut surfaces, and the receiving portion is provided with a tightening surface.
[0015] A tool holder system for a road work machine includes a tool holder and a tool mount, characterized in that the tool mount includes a tool mount body having a support side facing a fixed shank and a mounting side connected to a milling drum;
[0016] The tool holder support side has a fixed shank mounting hole, which is matched with the fixed shank insertion.
[0017] An arc-shaped transition surface is provided on the tool holder body located above the fixed shank mounting hole, and the arc-shaped transition surface matches the tool holder's removal surface.
[0018] A limiting structure is provided on the tool holder body on one side of the arc transition surface to restrict the axial rotation of the tool holder along the mounting hole of the fixed shank.
[0019] Furthermore, the limiting structure is detachably and fixedly connected to the tool holder.
[0020] Furthermore, the limiting structure can be any one of a snap-fit connection, a tenon-and-mortise connection, or a bolt connection.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0022] 1. The tool holder and tool support are installed and fitted through conical or spherical assembly and disassembly surfaces. Under normal working conditions, continuous automatic assembly pre-tightening can be achieved to ensure that the tool holder is always in a secure installation state.
[0023] 2. The tool holder and tool support are installed and fitted through conical or spherical assembly and disassembly surfaces, and the added limiting structure, compared with the traditional inclined assembly support surface, eliminates the component force along the axis of the tool holder fixed shank generated by the rotational force of the tool holder when the milling cutter is working, effectively preventing the tool holder from loosening.
[0024] 3. The combination of the conical removal surface and the limiting structure greatly reduces the difficulty of processing, reduces processing costs, and thus reduces maintenance and usage costs; in particular, the conical removal surface can assist in centering during assembly, reducing the difficulty of assembly and disassembly operations.
