AI Technical Summary
Existing tool clamping assemblies have the problem of difficulty in accurately controlling the size of the sealing ring in terms of sealing performance, resulting in poor sealing effect or installation difficulties, and failing to effectively prevent leakage of chips and water.
The design features a flexible sealing ring that forms a stable sealing structure with the tool holder and cap through an interference fit. Combined with a positioning ring and threaded structure, it ensures that the sealing ring is evenly tensioned under axial compression, achieving a good sealing effect.
A good seal between the handle and cap can be achieved without precise control of the sealing ring size, effectively preventing leakage of water and debris, and enhancing sealing performance and stability.

[0017] As Figs. 1-3The utility model provides a tool holder assembly with sealing property, comprising: a tool shank 1, an elastic chuck 2 and a cap 3 installed at the front end of the tool shank 1, the rear end of the elastic chuck 2 is inserted into the tool shank 1, the cap 3 is sleeved on the front end of the tool shank 1 and compresses the front end of the elastic chuck 2 to make the elastic chuck 2 contract along the radial direction, the tool holder assembly further comprises a sealing ring 4 with elasticity, the outer side wall of the tool shank 1 is provided with a first step surface 6, the front end of the sealing ring 4 abuts against the rear end of the cap 3 to form an interference fit, the rear end of the sealing ring 4 abuts against the tool shank 1 to form an interference fit, and the inner side wall of the sealing ring 4 forms an interference fit with the first step surface 6.When the tool shank 1 and the cap 3 are sleeved, the cap 3 compresses the sealing ring 4 along the axial direction, the front and rear ends of the sealing ring 4 are respectively extruded by the cap 3 and the tool shank 1 to generate radial deformation, the counter-tension of the sealing ring 4 is uniformly applied between the cap 3 and the tool shank 1, the front end of the sealing ring 4 abuts against the rear end of the cap 3 to form an interference fit, the rear end of the sealing ring 4 abuts against the tool shank 1 to form an interference fit, and the inner side wall of the sealing ring 4 forms an interference fit with the first step surface 6, so that the sealing ring 4 is in a uniform tension state, thereby forming a sealing structure between the sealing ring 4, the tool shank 1 and the cap 3. Since the above structure forms a seal through axial extrusion, the size of the sealing ring 4 does not need to be accurately controlled, so that the tool shank 1 and the cap 3 can be assembled to form a good sealing effect after assembly, thereby achieving the functions of water stopping and slag prevention.
[0018] The tool holder assembly further comprises a positioning ring 5, the outer side wall of the tool shank 1 is further provided with a second step surface 7, the second step surface 7 is adjacent to the rear end of the first step surface 6, the rear end of the positioning ring 5 is sleeved on the second step surface 6, and the front end of the positioning ring 5 is sleeved on the rear end of the sealing ring 4. When the cap 3 compresses the sealing ring 4 along the axial direction, the front and rear ends of the sealing ring 4 are respectively extruded by the cap 3 and the tool shank 1 to generate radial deformation, the outer side wall of the sealing ring 4 abuts against the inner side wall of the positioning ring 5 to form an interference fit, thereby enhancing the sealing property.
[0019] The outer side wall of the front end of the tool shank 1 is provided with an external thread 8, and the inner side wall of the cap 3 is provided with an internal thread 9 screwed with the external thread 8. The tool shank 1 and the cap 3 are screwed and fastened, the front and rear ends of the sealing ring 4 can stably obtain the axial extrusion force from the tool shank 1 and the cap 3, so that the sealing ring 4 is in a stable tension state, thereby further enhancing the sealing property.
[0020] The cap 3 is provided with a pressing convex part 10 located in front of the internal thread 9, and the pressing convex part 10 abuts against the outer side wall in front of the tool shank external thread 8. The pressing convex part 10 of the inner side wall of the cap 3 will abut against the outer side wall of the tool shank 1 and form an interference fit, so that the tension force is generated between the cap 3 and the tool shank 1, the cap 3 and the tool shank 1 are not easy to loosen, the tool shank 1 and the cap 3 can be tightly fastened, thereby obtaining a stable sealing structure.
[0021] Among them, the positioning ring 5 is a metal part. Metal has high hardness and is not easily deformed. When the cap 3 axially compresses the sealing ring, the metal positioning ring, which is not easily deformed, can stably compress the sealing ring 4 radially, thereby keeping the sealing ring 4 in a stable tension state and achieving a stable effect.
[0022] In this invention, the sealing ring 4 is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sealing ring, with a groove 11 at its front end, and the rear end face of the cap 3 located within the groove 11. The groove 11 encloses the rear end of the cap 3, ensuring a sufficient interference fit between the sealing ring 4 and the cap 3. PTFE has high-temperature resistance; during milling, the cutting tool generates a large amount of heat, and PTFE remains stable even in high-temperature environments. In other embodiments, a nitrile rubber (NBR) sealing ring, which also possesses high-temperature resistance, can be used.
