[0028] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0029] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model provides a combination tool holder using an NT50 to Capto C5 converter, including an NT50 tool holder 1, a connecting plate 3, and a Capto C5 tool holder 5;
[0030] like Figure 2As shown, a first inner hole and a second inner hole are respectively opened on the connecting plate 3. Both the first inner hole and the second inner hole are opened perpendicular to the connecting plate 3. The first inner hole is close to the upper end of the connecting plate 3, and the second inner hole is close to the lower end of the connecting plate 3.
[0031] One end of the NT50 tool holder 1 is used to simultaneously mate with the inner tapered surface and end face of the spindle of a CNC turning and boring machine, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the other end of the NT50 tool holder 1 is provided with a central positioning cylinder and a positioning plane. The central positioning cylinder is inserted into the first inner hole, as shown. Figure 3 As shown, the NT50 tool holder 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 3 by multiple first bolts 8, and the positioning plane is in close contact with the surface of the connecting plate 3; among them, the NT50 tool holder 1 can adopt a 7 / 24 taper design, which can simultaneously cooperate with the spindle and end face of the CNC turning and boring machine's flat turntable, making it a standard tool holder with high positioning accuracy.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the Capto C5 tool holder 5 and the connecting plate 3 are fixedly connected by multiple screws 6. The outer edge of the Capto C5 tool holder 5 is tightly fitted to the surface of the connecting plate 3. The Capto C5 tool holder 5 includes a core sleeve 51, which is inserted into the second inner hole and has an interference fit with the second inner hole. The inner wall of the core sleeve 51 is a triangular cone, and the edges of the triangular cone are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction. The edges of the triangular cone are arc-shaped. A second bolt 9 is threaded in the second inner hole. The second bolt 9 is used to tighten and fix the corresponding tool of the Capto C5 tool holder 5 in the Capto C5 tool holder 5.
[0033] It is understood that the NT50 tool holder 1 of this utility model is a standard tool holder with high positioning accuracy. One end of it can simultaneously mate with the spindle and end face of the CNC turning and boring machine's rotary table, ensuring the positioning accuracy of the NT50 tool holder 1 itself. The other end is precisely positioned by the central positioning cylinder and positioning plane, and is fastened by the first bolt 8, ensuring the fixing accuracy and rigidity transmission between the connecting plate 3 and the NT50 tool holder 1. The Capto C5 tool holder 5 and the connecting plate 3 are fixed by an interference fit and multiple screws 6, ensuring the connection accuracy and connection rigidity between the Capto C5 tool holder 5 and the connecting plate 3. The Capto C5 tool holder 5 uses a dual positioning mechanism of the end face and the conical surface for the tool. Under the tension of the second bolt 9, the Capto C5 tool holder 5 undergoes elastic deformation, allowing the tool and the Capto C5 tool holder 5 to be positioned together. The C5 tool holder features a tight contact mechanism, achieving precise positioning with axial and radial repeatability within 0.005mm. This eliminates the need for tool resetting or adjusting the tool compensation program, enabling cutting operations with a tool change time of less than 2 minutes and a length-to-diameter ratio of 5, thus meeting the requirements of cutting operations.
[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , 3As shown, the NT50 tool holder 1 includes multiple flat keys 2, which are fixed to the NT50 tool holder 1 by third bolts 4. The NT50 tool holder 1 is connected to the connecting plate 3 via the flat keys 2. The flat keys 2 further disperse the cutting load, avoid local stress concentration, and further ensure the rigid transmission between the connecting plate 3 and the NT50 tool holder 1.
[0035] In some embodiments, the flat key 2 is clearance-fitted with the keyway of the NT50 tool holder 1, allowing for minor adjustment space to compensate for machining errors or assembly tolerances.
[0036] In some embodiments, the central positioning cylinder is clearance-fitted with the first inner hole.
[0037] Understandably, the NT50 tool holder 1 and the connecting plate 3 achieve clearance fit and multi-point clamping through the central positioning cylinder, the flat key 2 and the first bolt 8, ensuring the rigidity transmission between the NT50 tool holder 1 and the connecting plate 3.
[0038] In some embodiments, a plurality of first bolts 8 are evenly distributed around a central positioning cylinder. For example, Figure 1 As shown, four first bolts 8 can be provided, and the four first bolts 8 are arranged in pairs on the upper and lower sides of the two flat keys 2 respectively.
[0039] It should be noted that, Figure 3 In the diagram, the cross section corresponding to the flat key 2 and the cross section corresponding to the second bolt 9 are two mutually perpendicular cross sections. Figure 4 In the diagram, the cross-section corresponding to the cylindrical pin 7 and the cross-section corresponding to the screw 6 are two mutually perpendicular cross-sections.
[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second inner hole includes a threaded hole and a mounting hole that are coaxially opened. The diameter of the threaded hole is smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole. The core sleeve 51 is interference-fitted with the mounting hole. One end of the second bolt 9 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole and inserted into the core sleeve 51.
[0041] In some embodiments, the Capto C5 tool holder 5 is transitionally engaged with the connecting plate 3 via multiple cylindrical pins 7. For example... Figure 1 As shown, two cylindrical pins 7 are arranged, and the line connecting the two cylindrical pins 7 is perpendicular to the connection between the first inner hole and the second inner hole, which is used for angular positioning of the Capto C5 tool holder 5 and load distribution.
[0042] Understandably, by interfering with the mounting hole, ensuring the outer edge of the Capto C5 tool holder 5 is tightly fitted to the surface of the connecting plate 3, and using the cylindrical pin 7 for angular positioning, the high precision of the Capto C5 tool holder 5 installation is guaranteed. The connecting plate 3 and the Capto C5 tool holder 5 adopt an interference fit, the cylindrical pin 7 for transition positioning, and the screw 6 for uniform tightening, forming a stable composite connection structure that can effectively suppress cutting vibration.
[0043] In some embodiments, the taper of the Capto C5 tool holder 5 is 1:20 and it is a hollow short taper.
[0044] In some embodiments, a plurality of screws 6 are evenly distributed around the core sleeve 51. Specifically, four screws 6 are provided, arranged in pairs on the upper and lower sides of the two cylindrical pins 7.
[0045] In this utility model, the first bolt 8, the second bolt 9, and the third bolt 4 can all be internal hex bolts, the screw 6 is a countersunk screw 6, and the cylindrical pin 7 is an internally threaded cylindrical pin.
[0046] The NT50 in this utility model references international standard ISO 2583, and the Capto C5 references international standard ISO 26623.
[0047] This utility model solves problems such as long tool changing time, low positioning accuracy, and insufficient rigidity through structural optimization and standardized design, significantly improving the efficiency and quality of deep hole machining. It is suitable for the efficient and precise machining of complex internal cavities of pump heads in oilfield cementing and fracturing equipment.
