Detailed Implementation

[0021] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, this center drill tool includes a tool body and a center drill 4 with a flat structure. The tool body includes a shank end 1 and a shank portion 2. The shank end 1 is provided with a positioning cavity 3 for positioning and mounting the center drill 4. Its shape is complementary to the structure of the center drill 4. The inner wall of the positioning cavity 3 has two opposing flange portions 6. The two sides of the center drill 4 are provided with grooves 5 that are mutually positioned and engaged with the flange portions 6. The two flange portions 6 and the inner wall of the positioning cavity 3 are integrally formed. The complementary design of the flanges and grooves 5, combined with the clamping component, realizes the rapid positioning and locking of the center drill 4. The integrally formed flange portions 6 and the stepped holes The design of 11 enhances the strength of the tool body and reduces the risk of deformation. A clamping component for quickly clamping the center drill 4 is provided on the handle end 1. The center drill 4 has a positioning hole 7 in the middle for quick positioning. The positioning cavity 3 is also provided with a positioning component for quickly positioning the center drill 4 and axially limiting it. The positioning component includes a positioning element 8 with a T-shaped structure, an elastic element 9 that can be elastically reset, and a plug 10. The positioning cavity 3 has a stepped hole 11. The positioning element 8 is movably installed in the stepped hole 11 through the elastic element 9 and the plug 10. Its end can be inserted into the positioning hole 7 of the center drill 4 to achieve limiting.

[0023] The clamping assembly includes a clamping element 12 and an adjusting bolt 13. The clamping element 12 has a limiting protrusion 14 extending axially downwards at its end, and an internally threaded hole 15 at its shank end 1. The adjusting bolt 13 is threadedly connected to the internally threaded hole 15. The limiting protrusion 14 is adapted to the positioning hole 7 of the center drill 4. Driven by the adjusting bolt 13, the limiting protrusion 14 pushes out the positioning element 8, which passes through the positioning hole 7 of the center drill 4 and enters the stepped hole 11 to form a clamping limit. An elastic gasket for clamping protection is also fitted on the limiting protrusion 14. The clamping element 12, in conjunction with the elastic gasket, allows the user to adjust the clamping force as needed, avoiding overload damage. The T-shaped positioning element 8 and the elastic element 9 in the positioning assembly facilitate disassembly and replacement, reducing maintenance costs.

[0024] Working principle

[0025] Positioning stage: The center drill 4 is initially aligned with the flange 6 in the positioning cavity 3 through the groove 5, and the positioning hole 7 of the center hole is matched with the positioning part 8 to achieve coarse positioning.

[0026] Tightening stage: Rotate the adjusting bolt 13 to drive the limiting protrusion 14 at the end of the clamping member 12 to press the T-shaped positioning member 8, so that it passes through the positioning hole 7 of the center drill 4 and is embedded in the stepped hole 11. At the same time, the elastic member 9 provides the positioning member 8 with the reset tension.

[0027] Fixing stage: The plug 10 seals the stepped hole 11, and the elastic gasket buffers the clamping force to ensure that the center drill 4 is firmly fixed and without loosening.
