[0002] An ultrasonic tool holder is installed at the front end of the main shaft, and a transducer is arranged in the ultrasonic tool holder to convert electrical energy into mechanical vibration, so as to perform ultrasonic machining on a workpiece. During the machining process, an electrical signal needs to be transmitted to the ultrasonic tool holder rotating with the main shaft. Common electrical signal transmission methods include wired transmission and wireless transmission. The conductive ring direct connection structure is used as wired transmission, and a power supply end structure needs to be installed on the main shaft side, such as a transmitting seat (contacting and electrically connecting with the power side in the receiving seat on the tool holder side). The wired transmission is suitable for low-speed working conditions. The wireless transmission formed by the wireless transmitting unit at the end of the main shaft and the wireless receiving unit at the end of the ultrasonic tool holder is suitable for high-speed working conditions. That is, the wired transmission and the wireless transmission structure need to be applied to different main shaft structures.

The power of the ultrasonic machining suitable for wireless transmission is limited, and it cannot be used for high-power ultrasonic machining. Therefore, when the ultrasonic tool holder with two transmission methods needs to be used in workpiece machining, the number of machining machines needs to be increased, and the cost is high.
