Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reamer processing technology, and in particular to an adjustable reamer based on a slider-type radial adjustment mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of machining, a reamer is an important tool used for finishing pre-machined holes such as drilled, cast, or punched holes. Its purpose is to improve the quality indicators such as the dimensional accuracy, shape accuracy, and surface roughness of the hole, so that the hole can meet the assembly and use requirements of various mechanical parts. Traditional reamers are usually of fixed size specifications, that is, one reamer corresponds to a specific machining hole diameter, which cannot meet the machining needs. There is an urgent need for a reamer that can flexibly adjust the machining hole diameter within a certain range to improve machining efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure machining accuracy.

[0003] Adjustable reamers mainly consist of a cutter body, cutting blades, an adjustment mechanism, and a fastening device. The adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the radial position of the cutting blades and usually consists of an adjusting nut and an adjusting screw. Its working principle is to adjust the radial position of the cutting blades through the adjustment mechanism, thereby adjusting the position of the reamer to adapt to different processing needs.

[0004] Some current adjustable reamers do not employ a slider-type adjustment mechanism. In those non-slider-type designs, some attempt to adjust the bore diameter by changing the cutting edge position using a complex linkage structure. However, this method involves multiple moving joints, and the clearance between these joints is difficult to control precisely. This leads to accumulated errors during adjustment, making it impossible to quickly and accurately achieve the desired bore diameter. Other adjustable reamers use an eccentric wheel adjustment principle, but their adjustment range is relatively limited. Furthermore, when making small adjustments, the non-linear relationship between the eccentric wheel rotation and the radial change of the cutting edge makes it difficult for operators to intuitively and accurately control the adjustment amount, significantly reducing adjustment accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposes an adjustable reamer based on a slider-type radial adjustment mechanism to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of an adjustable reamer based on a slider-type radial adjustment mechanism, including an adjustment block 1. The adjustment block 1, as a key foundational component of the entire reamer structure, plays a crucial role in supporting and connecting numerous other components. Its structural stability is essential for the normal operation of the entire reamer. A base 9 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the adjustment block 1. The base 9 provides a stable support foundation for the adjustment block 1, and the rotatable connection between the two allows the adjustment block 1 to rotate flexibly relative to the base 9, thus laying the foundation for subsequent implementation of different functions.

[0033] The adjusting block 1 has a sliding groove 10 inside, and a sliding block 2 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 10. The design of the sliding groove 10 is ingenious; it provides a precise and smooth sliding track for the sliding block 2, ensuring that the sliding block 2 can slide stably in a predetermined direction within it. This is indispensable for realizing the radial adjustment function of the reamer. The sliding block 2 has a cutter head 17 inside. As the carrier for mounting the reamer, the sliding condition of the sliding block 2 within the sliding groove 10 is directly related to the radial position change of the reamer, thus affecting key parameters such as the machining hole diameter. A rotating gear 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 9. The rotating gear 4 is located in an important position in the entire transmission link. It can effectively transmit the externally applied rotational force, thereby driving other related components to move in coordination. It is one of the key transmission elements for realizing the adjustment function. A rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating gear 4. The rotating shaft 5 is equivalent to an extension of the rotating gear 4, further transmitting the rotational action of the rotating gear 4 to a higher level structure, ensuring the continuity and effectiveness of the entire transmission.

[0034] The adjusting block 1 has a gear groove 3 on its exterior, which meshes with the rotating gear 4. This meshing connection ensures that the rotation of the rotating gear 4 is accurately converted into the rotation of the adjusting block 1 relative to the base 9, making the motion transmission between components more precise and stable, and avoiding transmission deviations that could affect machining accuracy. The rotating shaft 5 has a rotating assembly inside for rotation. Through this rotating assembly, the operator can easily apply rotational force from the outside, thereby driving the entire adjusting mechanism to operate.

[0035] The rotating assembly includes a connecting column 6, which is externally slidably connected to the inside of the rotating shaft 5. This sliding connection allows the connecting column 6 to transmit torque during rotation and adapt to different working conditions to a certain extent, ensuring smooth rotation. A handle 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 5. The handle 7 is ergonomically designed for easy gripping and application of rotational force, making the adjustment operation easier and more convenient. A protective shell 8 is threadedly connected to the outside of the connecting column 6. The protective shell 8 not only protects the internal components such as the connecting column 6 from external impurities and other factors, preventing interference with normal rotation and ensuring orderly rotation, but also has its bottom fixedly connected to the top of the base 9, further reinforcing the stability of the entire structure and making the connections between components more robust and reliable. The external rotatable connection of the rotating shaft 5 to the inside of the protective shell 8 ensures that the rotating shaft 5 can rotate smoothly within the range defined by the protective shell 8, creating favorable conditions for the smooth execution of the entire adjustment operation.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The replacement component includes a rotating block 11, which is externally rotatably connected to the inside of the sliding block 2. As the core control component in the process of replacing the cutter head 17, the rotating block 11's rotation triggers a series of linked changes, thereby enabling convenient replacement of the cutter head 17 and meeting the diverse requirements of the cutter head 17 under different processing needs. Multiple transmission rods 12 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the rotating block 11. These transmission rods 12 act as a bridge to transmit the rotational motion of the rotating block 11, converting the rotation of the rotating block 11 into a driving force on the fixed block 13, thus affecting the fixed and loosened state of the cutter head 17.

[0037] Multiple transmission rods 12 are rotatably connected to fixed blocks 13 on their outer sides. The fixed blocks 13 play a crucial role in the overall fixing structure of the cutter head 17. Through their cooperation with other components, they enable reliable fixing or loosening of the cutter head 17, ensuring its stability during machining and allowing for easy disassembly when replacement is needed. Rotating shafts 14 are rotatably connected inside each of the multiple fixed blocks 13. These rotating shafts 14 provide axial support for the rotation of the fixed blocks 13, ensuring smooth rotation of the fixed blocks 13 and enabling their corresponding functional actions.

[0038] The bottom end of the cutter head 17 is fixedly connected to a fixing seat 15. The fixing seat 15 and the fixing block 13 cooperate with each other through a specific coupling connection method. This is the key connection part for fixing the cutter head 17 to the sliding block 2, and the rationality of its structure is directly related to the stability of the installation of the cutter head 17. The bottom ends of multiple fixing blocks 13 are coupled to the top ends of the fixing seat 15. This coupling connection method not only ensures the stability of the connection, but also makes it easy to disengage the connection when the cutter head 17 needs to be replaced.

[0039] Multiple rotating shafts 14 are externally fixedly connected to the inside of the sliding block 2, enabling the rotating shafts 14 to stably provide rotational support for the fixed block 13, ensuring the structural integrity and functional reliability of the entire replacement assembly within the sliding block 2. Multiple transmission rods 12 are externally rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating block 11, ensuring smooth and stable rotational transmission between the transmission rods 12 and the rotating block 11, avoiding jamming or other issues affecting the replacement operation of the cutter head 17. The sliding block 2 has a sliding groove 18 inside, providing a precise sliding track for the fixed seat 15 at the bottom of the cutter head 17. During cutter head 17 replacement, the fixed seat 15 can smoothly slide in or out along the sliding groove 18, ensuring the orderly nature of the replacement operation. The fixed seat 15 is externally slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 18. This sliding connection strictly limits the sliding path of the fixed seat 15, improving the accuracy of the cutter head 17 installation and removal process.

[0040] The rotating block 11 is internally threaded with a limiting rod 19, which plays a crucial role in limiting the rotational position of the rotating block 11. Once the cutter head 17 is fixed, the limiting rod 19 prevents the rotating block 11 from rotating accidentally, thus ensuring the stability of the cutter head 17 during machining and preventing loosening from affecting machining accuracy. A cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting block 1. As a key component providing power, the cylinder 16's drive end outputs a stable and controllable thrust, pushing the sliding block 2 to slide within the sliding groove 10, thereby realizing the radial adjustment function of the reamer and greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of the adjustment. The drive end of cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the rear end of sliding block 2. This connection ensures that the thrust of cylinder 16 can be effectively transmitted to sliding block 2 and converted into sliding power for sliding block 2. A sliding groove 3 20 is provided at the top of adjusting block 1, providing a corresponding track for the sliding of limit rod 19. This allows limit rod 19 to move along a predetermined path during position adjustments and other operations, ensuring the continuity and accuracy of the entire cutter head 17 replacement operation. The external sliding connection of limit rod 19 is within sliding groove 3 20, limiting the range of motion of limit rod 19 and helping to maintain the stability of the entire structure at different operating stages.

[0041] Working principle: When the operator needs to adjust the radial direction of the reamer during workpiece processing, they can manually turn the handle 7. Turning the handle 7 causes the connecting column 6 to rotate inside the protective shell 8, which in turn causes the rotating shaft 5 to drive the rotating gear 4 inside the protective shell 8. The rotation of the rotating gear 4 causes the adjusting block 1 to rotate at the top of the base 9, thereby adjusting the processing angle of the cutter head 17. Then, the cylinder 16 is activated, and the cylinder 16 pushes the sliding block 2 to slide inside the sliding groove 10, thereby realizing radial adjustment. Through controllable and rapid radial adjustment, the processing accuracy and processing efficiency are improved.

[0042] When the cutter head 17 needs to be replaced to adapt to different processing requirements, the limiting rod 19 is rotated so that its outer side slides out of the sliding groove 20. At this time, the rotating block 11 is rotated so that the transmission rod 12 drives the fixing block 13 to rotate, thereby removing the fixing block 13 from the fixing seat 15. The cutter head 17 can then be taken out for replacement. The fixing seat 15 at the bottom of the replaced cutter head 17 is slid into the sliding groove 18. After sliding in, the rotating block 11 is rotated so that the fixing block 13 rotates to the top of the fixing seat 15. This completes the overall fixing of the cutter head 17. Then, the base 9 is rotated so that its outer side slides into the sliding groove 20, thus fixing its position and preventing the reamer from loosening.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
