Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0029] In the embodiments of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a drill bit extension device for a magnetic drill includes a drive gear shaft 1, a fixed base 2, a drive gear 4, a first bearing 8 seat 6, a first bearing 8, a second bearing 11 seat 9, a second bearing 11, a drill sleeve 13, a driven gear 15, a third bearing 19 seat 18, and a third bearing 19. The drive gear shaft 1 is vertically connected to the fixed base 2, and the drive gear 4 is sleeved on the drive gear shaft 1. The bottom end of the drive gear shaft 1 is connected to the first bearing 8 seat 6 via the first bearing 8. The driven gear 15 is meshed with the drive gear 4, and the drill sleeve 13 is vertically connected to the center of the driven gear 15. The upper end of the drill sleeve 13 is connected to the second bearing 11 seat 9 via the second bearing 11, and the lower end of the drill sleeve 13 is connected to the third bearing 19 seat 18 via the third bearing 19.

[0031] Specifically, the original magnetic drill 23, whose output end was connected to the drill bit, has been modified so that its output end is now connected to the drive gear shaft 1. The drive gear shaft 1 is fitted with a drive gear 4, which meshes with a driven gear 15. The driven gear 15 is fitted with a drill sleeve 13, which is then fitted with the new drill bit. The power output from the magnetic drill 23 is transmitted to the new drill bit through the drive gear shaft 1, drive gear 4, driven gear 15, and drill sleeve 13.

[0032] Therefore, a drill bit extension device for magnetic drills extends the lateral distance between the drill bit and the original magnetic drill 23 by adding a set of transmission components, thus extending the longitudinal working distance of the drill bit. Without affecting the firm adhesion of the magnetic base to the work surface, the drill bit can reach into corners that are difficult to access on the workpiece for drilling operations, greatly expanding the operating range of the equipment, improving processing flexibility, and better meeting the needs of diverse processing scenarios.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a driving gear key 3 and a driven gear key 14. The driving gear 4 is connected to the driving gear shaft 1 via the driving gear key 3, and the driven gear 15 is connected to the drill sleeve 13 via the driven gear key 14.

[0034] Specifically, the driving gear key 3 and the driven gear key 14 serve the same function and are referred to as gear keys below. The gear key is embedded in the keyway of the gear's inner hole and the shaft. Through the tight fit between the side of the key and the keyway, relative rotation between the gear and the shaft is prevented, ensuring synchronous rotation. This ensures that the driving gear 4 stably transmits power to the driven gear 15.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a first adjusting nut 10 and a second adjusting nut 20. The first adjusting nut 10 is sleeved on the upper end of the drill sleeve 13 and abuts against the second bearing 11; the second adjusting nut 20 is sleeved on the lower end of the drill sleeve 13 and abuts against the third bearing 19.

[0036] Specifically, the first adjusting nut 10, the drill sleeve 13, the second bearing 11, and the second bearing 11 seat 9 are interconnected, and the second adjusting nut 20, the drill sleeve 13, the third bearing 19, and the third bearing 19 seat 18 are interconnected. The first adjusting nut 10 and the second adjusting nut 20 have the same function and are referred to as adjusting nuts below. The second bearing 11 and the third bearing 19 have the same function and are referred to as bearings below. The second bearing 11 seat 9 and the third bearing 19 seat 18 have the same function and are referred to as bearing seats below.

[0037] The bearing housing serves as the mounting base for the bearing, providing rigid support, centering, and external protection, while also transmitting loads to the frame. The bearing is a thrust bearing, bearing radial / axial loads to ensure smooth rotation of the drill sleeve 13. The bearing is nested within the bearing housing; the outer ring mates with the housing, and the inner ring is interference-fitted with the shaft. An adjusting nut abuts against the inner ring; tightening the nut pushes the inner ring axially, pressing the outer ring against the bearing housing step. The housing then transmits the reaction force to the drill sleeve 13, forming a closed-loop preload. The adjusting nut eliminates axial clearance caused by wear or thermal expansion; it also adjusts bearing clearance to prevent slippage of the drill sleeve 13.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a first adjusting sleeve 5 and a second adjusting sleeve 16. The axial clearance between the fixed seat 2 and the driving gear 4, and the axial clearance between the driving gear 4 and the first bearing 8 seat 6 are respectively provided with the first adjusting sleeve 5, which is sleeved on the driving gear shaft 1; the axial clearance between the driven gear 15 and the third bearing 19 seat 18 is provided with the second adjusting sleeve 16, which is sleeved on the drill sleeve 13.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a first bushing 12 and a second bushing 17; the first bushing 12 is provided in the radial gap between the upper end of the drill bushing 13 and the second bearing 11 seat 9, and the first bushing 12 is sleeved on the drill bushing 13; the second bushing 17 is provided in the radial gap between the lower end of the drill bushing 13 and the third bearing 19 seat 18, and the second bushing 17 is sleeved on the drill bushing 13.

[0040] Specifically, the first adjusting sleeve 5 and the second adjusting sleeve 16 have the same function and are referred to as adjusting sleeves below; the first bushing 12 and the second bushing 17 have the same function and are referred to as bushings below. A bushing is provided between the drill bushing 13 and the bearing housing to protect the drill bushing 13 and reduce wear. By replacing bushings of different thicknesses, the clearance between the shaft and the hole can be finely adjusted to compensate for manufacturing errors or differences in thermal expansion. An adjusting sleeve is provided at the exposed circumference of the drive gear shaft 1 or the drill bushing 13. The adjusting sleeve restricts the axial movement of the drive gear 4, the driven gear 15, the first bearing 8, or the third bearing 19 through the end face or stepped structure of the drive gear shaft 1 or the drill bushing 13, ensuring that the parts work in the correct position. The adjusting sleeve provides additional radial support, reduces shaft bending deformation, and improves transmission smoothness. In addition, both the bushing and the adjusting sleeve have a sealing and dustproof function.

[0041] In this embodiment, a bearing cover 7 is attached to the lower end of the first bearing 8 seat 6, and the bearing cover 7 abuts against the first bearing 8.

[0042] Specifically, the first bearing 8 is a rolling bearing, and the bearing cap 7 fixes the position of the first bearing 8, prevents lubrication leakage, blocks the intrusion of external impurities, and helps to bear axial load.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 3-6 As shown, it includes a drill rig connecting seat 21; the drill rig connecting seat 21 is disposed on the fixed seat 2, and the drill rig connecting seat 21 includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part that are perpendicularly connected to each other. The first connecting part is sleeved on the drive gear shaft 1, and the second connecting part is connected to the slide rail 24 of the magnetic drill 23 by fasteners.

[0044] Specifically, the drill rig connector 21 connects the extension device to the magnetic drill 23 body. The magnetic drill 23 body has a slide rail 24 on its side, and a servo motor 25 drives the drill bit to move on the slide rail 24, allowing adjustment of the original drill bit height. Now, the drill rig connector 21 connects the slide rail 24 to the extension device. In use, the servo motor 25 moves on the slide rail 24, driving the drill rig connector 21 to move on the slide rail 24, thus moving the entire extension device accordingly.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second bearing 11 seat 9 is welded to the fixed seat 2.

[0046] Specifically, the second bearing 11 seat 9 and the fixed seat 2, as a fixing structure, are located in the upper part of the extension device and can be integrally formed, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the second bearing 11 and the drive gear shaft 1 are simultaneously connected.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second bearing 11 seat 9 is welded to the first bearing 8 seat 6.

[0048] Specifically, the second bearing 11 seat 9 and the first bearing 8 seat 6 are fixed structures located on the left half of the extension device and can be integrally formed, simultaneously fitting the first bearing 8 and the second bearing 11.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a baffle 22, which is welded to the side of the fixed seat 2 and the side of the first bearing 8 seat 6.

[0050] Specifically, baffle 22 is used to improve the safety of the extension device and prevent it from hitting the rotating gear during operation. It can be installed on one side, two opposite sides, or all four sides of the fixed seat 2 and the first bearing 8 seat 6. After the second bearing 11 seat 9, fixed seat 2, second bearing 11 seat 9, first bearing 8 seat 6 and baffle 22 are welded together, they can be fixed as a whole. The bearings are installed in their respective bearing seats, and the gear keys are connected to their respective gears. The axis of the first bearing 8 is aligned with the axis of the driving gear key 3, and the driving gear shaft 1 is inserted. The axes of the second bearing 11, driven gear key 14 and third bearing 19 are aligned, and the drill sleeve 13 is inserted. The angle or tightness of the bushing and adjusting sleeve, as well as other fasteners, are adjusted to assemble the extension device.

[0051] It should also be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
