Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool equipment technology, and in particular to a cutting tool with automatic limit function. Background Technology

[0002] A search revealed a prior art tool clamping device for automatically limiting machining depth (Publication No.: CN113547360B), comprising a clamping shank diameter, a spring connecting sleeve, a spring ring, an external threaded sleeve, a nut, a bearing, a fixing sleeve, a limiting block, and a side-fixed tool. The external threaded sleeve is engaged with the clamping shank diameter, the spring connecting sleeve movably connects the clamping shank diameter and the external threaded sleeve, the spring ring is located between the clamping shank diameter and the external threaded sleeve and is located inside the spring connecting sleeve, the open end of the external threaded sleeve has a protrusion, the bearing is sleeved on the external threaded sleeve, the nut is threaded to the outer side wall of the external threaded sleeve, the fixing sleeve is engaged with the outer side wall of the bearing, the side-fixed tool is fixedly clamped inside the external threaded sleeve, and the limiting block is located at the end of the fixing sleeve. Several sets of fixed blocks are evenly distributed on the outer side of the clamping groove 2. The clamping shank is connected to the spindle of the machine tool. The rotation of the spindle drives the clamping shank to rotate. Because the concave and convex parts 1 and 2 slide and engage, the rotation of the clamping shank will drive the external threaded sleeve to rotate, which in turn drives the side-fixed tool to rotate and process the product. When the set processing depth is reached, the machine tool spindle cannot stop in time to approach the product. At this time, the limiting block will press against the product surface. Because the fixed sleeve and the clamping shank are connected by a bearing, when the limiting block presses against the product, the side-fixed tool can continue to rotate. At the same time, under the action of the reaction force, the fixed sleeve drives the external threaded sleeve to move in the direction of the clamping shank, compressing the spring ring and providing the buffer space required for the machine tool control response time. Thus, the depth dimension of products with different deformation amounts can be kept consistent after processing.

[0003] The aforementioned patent has the following drawbacks: its structure is complex and requires multiple parts to be threaded together for installation, making operation cumbersome; the external threaded sleeve and the internal structure of the clamping shank lack cooling and lubrication channels; and it mainly relies on the elastic force provided by the spring as the radial support of the tool holder. However, the radial support force of the tool holder acts on the tool and the workpiece. When dealing with tools or workpieces with large radial force requirements, the elastic force of the spring is insufficient to support the tool entering the workpiece, which will affect the machining of the workpiece. Therefore, it is impossible to use tools with internal cooling and lubrication. Adjusting the elastic force provided by the spring to cope with the radial force requirements of different tools is a pain point of the existing technology and has room for optimization.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a cutting tool with automatic limit function. Utility Model Content

The first adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the sliding sleeve and can adjust the compression amplitude of the first spring and the second spring.

[0010] The cooling and lubrication channel structure has a sealing ring on one side of the tool holder, and the sealing ring is slidably connected to a second adjusting screw.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a cavity is formed inside the sliding sleeve, the tool handle is adapted to the sliding sleeve, and the tool handle is slidably disposed within the cavity of the sliding sleeve.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the guide structure includes a guide groove and a steel ball. The sliding sleeve has a guide groove, the tool holder has a ball socket, and the steel ball is disposed in the ball socket of the tool holder and can roll within the guide groove.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the sliding sleeve is threaded, the first adjusting screw is threaded to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve, and the ends of the first adjusting screw and the knife handle are both provided with annular grooves. The first adjusting screw and the second spring form a cylindrical boss through the annular groove, and the two ends of the first spring are sleeved on the boss.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the adjustment structure further includes an abutment plate and a second adjustment screw, the second adjustment screw being threadedly connected to the first adjustment screw, and the abutment plate being rotatably connected to the second adjustment screw, wherein the abutment plate can compress the second spring to deform.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a threaded hole adapted to the second adjusting screw is provided at the center of the end of the first adjusting screw, and an abutment plate is rotatably connected to the end of the second adjusting screw. The abutment plate is a circular plate, and the diameter of the abutment plate is larger than the diameter of the second spring.

[0018] This utility model provides a cutting tool with an automatic limit function. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This tool with automatic limit function can adjust the compression degree of the first spring by rotating the first adjusting screw and squeezing the end of the first adjusting screw to make the resistance of the tool holder sliding in the sliding sleeve adjustable. It can meet the needs of different tools that require different radial forces to smoothly enter the workpiece and has flexible adjustability.

[0030] A cutting tool with automatic limit function, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes:

[0031] A tool holder 10 is provided, and a tool handle 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the tool holder 10. The tool handle 11 is slidably connected to a sliding sleeve 12.

[0032] An adjustment structure is provided inside the sliding sleeve 12 to adjust the sliding resistance of the tool handle 11. The adjustment structure includes a first spring 20, a first adjusting screw 21, and a second spring 22. The first spring 20 and the second spring 22 are fixedly installed at the end of the tool handle 11. The first adjusting screw 21 is threadedly connected to the sliding sleeve 12. The first adjusting screw 21 can adjust the compression amplitude of the first spring 20 and the second spring 22. A cavity is formed inside the sliding sleeve 12. The tool handle 11 is adapted to the sliding sleeve 12 and is slidably disposed in the cavity of the sliding sleeve 12. The inner wall of the sliding sleeve 12 is threaded. The first adjusting screw 21 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 12. Both the end of the first adjusting screw 21 and the end of the tool handle 11 are provided with annular grooves. The first adjusting screw 21 and the second spring 22 form a cylindrical boss through the annular grooves. The two ends of the first spring 20 are sleeved on the boss.

[0033] In this design, the first spring 20 is longer than the second spring 22, which is a tower-shaped spring. By rotating the first adjusting screw 21, the end of the first adjusting screw 21 is used to squeeze the first spring 20 to adjust the compression degree of the first spring 20. As a result, the resistance of the tool holder 11 sliding in the sliding sleeve 12 can be adjusted to meet the needs of different tools requiring different radial forces to smoothly enter the workpiece. It has flexible adjustability. In conjunction with the compressible second spring 22, multi-stage adjustment can be achieved, and the radial force provided to the tool holder 11 covers a wider range.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a guide structure is provided between the tool holder 11 and the sliding sleeve 12 to limit the sliding stroke of the tool holder 11;

[0035] The guiding structure includes a guide groove 14 and a steel ball 15. The guide groove 14 is formed in the sliding sleeve 12, and the ball socket 17 is formed in the tool holder 11. The steel ball 15 is disposed in the ball socket 17 of the tool holder 11 and can roll in the guide groove 14. The guide groove 14 forms a rectangular groove, and the ball socket 17 forms a hemispherical groove. The steel ball 15 is a sphere, and the diameter of the steel ball 15 is equal to the width of the guide groove 14 and the diameter of the hemispherical groove. A protective sleeve 13 is installed on the outside of the sliding sleeve 12, which can cover the guide groove 14 and the steel ball 15.

[0036] Through the mutually compatible guide groove 14 and steel ball 15, the steel ball 15 rolls in the guide groove 14, which can guide the tool holder 11 and ensure the stability of the sliding process, so that the tool holder 11 will not rotate or twist. Secondly, the guide groove 14 with limited length limits the rolling range of the steel ball 15, so as to prevent the tool holder 11 from entering the sliding sleeve 12 too much and damaging the first spring 20 and the second spring 22.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment structure also includes a contact plate 23 and a second adjustment screw 24. The second adjustment screw 24 is threadedly connected to the first adjustment screw 21, and the contact plate 23 is rotatably connected to the second adjustment screw 24. The contact plate 23 can compress the second spring 22 to deform. A threaded hole adapted to the second adjustment screw 24 is opened at the center of the end of the first adjustment screw 21. The contact plate 23 is rotatably connected to the end of the second adjustment screw 24. The contact plate 23 is a circular plate, and the diameter of the contact plate 23 is larger than the diameter of the second spring 22.

[0038] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a cooling and lubrication channel structure is set between the tool holder 11, the sealing ring 16, and the second adjusting screw 24 for the formation of the cooling and lubrication channel.

[0039] With the mutually compatible diameters of the annular groove 18 of the tool holder 11, the tool holder channel 19, the sealing ring 16, and the screw channel 25 of the second adjusting screw 24, when the tool holder 11 slides inside the second adjusting screw 24, a sealed cooling and lubrication channel structure is formed through the tool holder channel 19 of the tool holder 11 and the screw channel 25 of the second adjusting screw 24.

[0040] As a further explanation of the above solution, by setting a second adjusting screw 24, and both the ends of the first adjusting screw 21 and the second adjusting screw 24 are provided with hexagonal holes, the second adjusting screw 24 is rotated with a hexagonal wrench. The second adjusting screw 24 drives the contact plate 23 to approach the second spring 22. When the tool holder 11 slides and squeezes the first spring 20, the elastic force provided by the first spring 20 is insufficient to allow the tool to enter the workpiece. By rotating the second adjusting screw 24, the second spring 22 and the first spring 20 can jointly provide a pushing force to the tool holder 11, which can meet the needs of using tools with large radial forces. This achieves multi-stage adjustment of the radial force provided to the tool holder 11. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and it is easy to use.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Rotating the first adjusting screw 21 compresses the first spring 20 by pressing its end. Using a hex wrench, rotating the second adjusting screw 24 causes the contact plate 23 to move closer to the second spring 22. When the tool holder 11 slides and compresses the first spring 20, the elastic force provided by the first spring 20 is insufficient to allow the tool to enter the workpiece. Rotating the second adjusting screw 24 allows the second spring 22 and the first spring 20 to jointly provide thrust to the tool holder 11, meeting the requirements for using tools with large radial forces. This is achieved through mutually compatible guide grooves 14 and steel balls 15. 5. Rolling within the guide groove 14 guides the tool holder 11, ensuring stability during the sliding process and preventing rotational twisting of the tool holder 11. The limited length of the guide groove 14 restricts the rolling range of the steel ball 15, preventing the tool holder 11 from entering the sliding sleeve too much and damaging the first spring 20 and the second spring 22. Through the mutually compatible diameters of the annular groove 18 of the tool holder 11, the tool holder channel 19, the sealing ring 16, and the screw channel 25 of the second adjusting screw 24, when the tool holder 11 slides inside the second adjusting screw 24, a sealed cooling and lubrication channel structure is formed through the tool holder channel 19 of the tool holder 11 and the screw channel 25 of the second adjusting screw 24.

[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
