Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tools, and more particularly to a quick-change type tool shank structure with high positioning accuracy. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, conventional tools are generally fixed to the tool shank by welding. However, after cutting metal surfaces for a long time, the cutting edge of the tool inevitably wears out. Because the tool and tool shank are integrated, if the tool and tool shank become damaged after long-term use, the only option is to discard the entire tool and tool shank, resulting in waste of material.

[0003] To solve the above problems, the method currently used on the market is to separate the tool head and tool holder into two parts, which are joined by a screw, and then after the head wears out, it is enough to simply replace the head.

[0004] However, when the above method is applied to hard alloy tools, there is a problem that direct thread connection is not possible because thread processing on hard alloy materials is too difficult.

[0005] For this reason, in actual use, a removable cover plate provided in the rough hole in the tool shank body can limit the axial movement of the clamping screw. In other words, by using the clamping screw and cover plate together, even if the head portion becomes worn, it can be easily replaced. This is the result of the development of a quick-change HSK tool shank with high positioning accuracy, as disclosed in Patent Document 1.

[0006] However, this structure requires a complex cover plate and other components, and requires the cover plate and the clamping screw to be assembled, which makes the assembly of the tool shank and head relatively difficult. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0019] In addition, a main cooling hole is provided in the center of the head portion, bits are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction at the end of the head portion away from the tool holder, and sub-cooling holes are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction on the side of the head portion closer to the bits, all of the sub-cooling holes communicate with the main cooling hole, and a cooling through-hole is provided in the center of both of the threaded bolts, and the cooling through-hole connects the main cooling passage with the through-hole of the tool shank.

[0021] The tool holder is made of a hard alloy material, and the head and tool shank are made of an alloy steel material. [Effects of the Invention]

[0022] 1. The head made of alloy steel and the threaded part on the tool shank are combined with the threaded part on the double-ended screw bolt, thereby realizing quick attachment and detachment of the head on the hard alloy tool holder.

[0023] 2. The engagement of the head mating hole with the mating part ensures the accuracy of the axial positioning of the head and the tool holder, and the mating of the control surface with the control mating surface ensures the accuracy of the radial positioning of the head and the tool holder.

[0024] 3. By connecting the main cooling hole and the sub-cooling hole with the cooling through-hole, the cooling medium can be directly discharged from the sub-cooling hole in the head section to cool the head section. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
