[0009] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, a preferred embodiment of a strong coupling structure between a collet and a cutter according to the present invention includes a collet 10, a cutter 20, a fixing member 30, and a locking cover 40. As shown in FIG.
[0010] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, collet 10 includes opposed ends, receiving hole 11, tapered hole 12, locking hole 13, and threaded segment 14, of which receiving hole 11 is formed inside collet 10 and has a bottom surface 111. Tapered hole 12 extends from one end of collet 10 to receiving hole 11 and the diameter of tapered hole 12 decreases toward receiving hole 11. Locking hole 13 extends from the other end of collet 10 to bottom surface 111 of receiving hole 11, communicates with receiving hole 11, and includes internal threads. Threaded segment 14 and tapered hole 12 are provided at the same end of collet 10 and have external threads.
[0011] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, the cutter 20 includes a joint portion 21, a stretch rod 22, an engagement hole 23A, an inlet flow passage 24, a communication flow passage 25, two outlet flow passages 26, and two processing members 27. The joint portion 21 has a tapered shape and has a contact end and an insertion end that is inserted into the tapered hole 12, and the outer diameter of the joint portion 21 decreases from the contact end to the insertion end. The stretch rod 22 protrudes from the contact end and has a processing end away from the joint portion 21. The engagement hole 23A extends from the insertion end to the contact end and has a polygonal outline. The inlet flow passage 24 extends from the bottom of the engagement hole 23A toward the processing end of the stretch rod 22. The communication flow passage 25 communicates with the inlet flow passage 24 and extends toward the processing end of the stretch rod 22. Two outlet channels 26 approach the working end of the stretch rod 22 and communicate with the communication channels 25. Two working members 27 are attached to the working end of the stretch rod 22.
[0012] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the engagement hole 23A, the inlet passage 24, and the communication passage 25 communicate with the same axis.
[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the fixing member 30 is located inside the collet 10 and includes an abutment block 31, a screwing portion 32, an engagement portion 33A, two wrench holes 34, and a communication hole 35. The abutment block 31 is provided in the accommodation hole 11, has a block shape, and has a first end surface 311 and a second end surface 312 that are positioned opposite to each other. The screwing portion 32 is provided on the first end surface 311 of the abutment block 31 and has an external thread. When the screwing portion 32 is screwed into the lock hole 13 of the collet 10, the first end surface 311 of the abutment block 31 abuts against the bottom surface 111 of the accommodation hole 11. The engagement portion 33A is provided on the second end surface 312 of the abutment block 31 and has a polygonal cross section. The engagement portion 33A is inserted into the engagement hole 23A of the cutter 20. The two wrench holes 34 are formed in the threaded portion 32 and the engaging portion 33A, respectively, extend along the threaded portion 32 and the engaging portion 33A, and have a polygonal outline. In the present invention, the outline of each wrench hole 34 is hexagonal to correspond to a hexagonal wrench, making it easier for the user to attach and detach the fixing member 30, and the communication hole 35 is provided inside the abutment block 31, and the two wrench holes 34 communicate with the same axis.
[0014] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, in the present invention, the outer diameter of the abutment block 31 of the fixed member 30 is smaller than the diameter of the accommodating hole 11 of the collet 10, so that the screw-engaging portion 32 of the fixed member 30 can be smoothly screwed into and attached to the lock hole 13 of the collet 10, and the first end face 311 of the abutment block 31 is abutted against the bottom surface 111 of the accommodating hole 11, and a pitch is formed between the insertion end of the connecting portion 21 of the cutter 20 and the second end face 312 of the abutment block 31 of the fixed member 30.
[0015] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, in a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cross section of the engagement portion 33A of the fixing member 30 is made hexagonal, and the contour of the engagement hole 23A of the cutter 20 is also made hexagonal to correspond to the cross section of the engagement portion 33A, thereby enabling the engagement portion 33A and the engagement hole 23A to be engaged with each other.
[0016] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the lock cover 40 includes an internal thread and a through hole 41, and is screwed and connected to the threaded segment 14 of the collet 10, and abuts against the abutment end of the connecting portion 21 of the cutter 20, and the extension rod 22 and two processing members 27 of the cutter 20 pass through the through hole 41 of the lock cover 40.
[0017] Compared with the conventional strong coupling device between the collet and the cutter, in the present invention, a fixing member 30 is installed that is firmly installed inside the collet 10 and has an engagement portion 33A with a polygonal outline, and an engagement hole 23A corresponding to the insertion end of the coupling portion 21 of the cutter 20 is formed, and the engagement portion 33A and the engagement hole 23A are locked together to prevent relative rotation between the cutter 20 and the collet 10. In this way, when machining a workpiece with the present invention, the cutter 20 resists the reaction force from the workpiece, so that the efficiency of machining can be improved and the quality of machining can also be improved.
[0018] Moreover, the cutting fluid can cool the two workpieces 27 via the communication hole 35 of the fixed member 30, the inlet flow passage 24, the communication flow passage 25, and the two outlet flow passages 26 of the cutter 20.
[0019] As shown in Figures 8 and 11, the second preferred embodiment of the present invention is similar to the first preferred embodiment, but the difference between the two is that the cross section of the engagement portion 33B of the fixed member 30 is pentagonal to correspond to the contour of the engagement hole 23B of the cutter 20, thereby allowing the engagement portion 33B and the engagement hole 23B to be engaged with each other, and the cutter 20 is firmly connected to the collet 10 by the fixed member 30, thereby enabling stable and efficient processing.
[0020] As shown in Figures 9 and 12, the third preferred embodiment of the present invention is similar to the first and second preferred embodiments, but differs in that the cross section of the engagement portion 33C of the fixing member 30 is rectangular to correspond to the contour of the engagement hole 23C of the cutter 20, so that the engagement portion 33C and the engagement hole 23C can be engaged with each other in the same manner, thereby enabling stable and efficient processing.
[0021] In the present invention, the cross-sections of the engagement portions 33A, 33B, 33C of the fixing member 30 and the contours of the engagement holes 23A, 23B, 23C of the cutter 20 are not particularly limited as long as the engagement portions 33A, 33B, 33C and the engagement holes 23A, 23B, 23C can be engaged with each other.
[0022] In the first to third preferred embodiments of the present invention, each of the processing members 27 is a cutting blade for processing.
[0023] 10, the fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention is similar to the first preferred embodiment, except that the stretch rod 22 of the cutter 20 is an elongated conical rod, and the outer diameter of the stretch rod 22 decreases toward the working end of the stretch rod 22. Also, the working member 27 of the stretch rod 22 is a drill head. [Explanation of symbols]
