Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for creating anchor bolt insertion holes with a wider bottom diameter than the entrance are inconsistent due to arbitrary angle tilting during perforation, leading to varying hole sizes and angles regardless of operator skill.

Innovation Solution

The apparatus includes a hammer drill with a drill bit and an adapter that allows the drill bit to move in a vertical and inclined direction within a predetermined range, utilizing a two-stage cylindrical body and springs to maintain consistent hole dimensions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a worker tilts the hammer drill at an arbitrary angle during perforation, then the anchor bolt insertion hole can be created manually, but the angle and size of the hole vary for each worker, reducing manufacturing precision

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanual operation flexibilityVSAvoidhole angle and size consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The adapter incorporates an elastic support unit that allows dynamic adjustment of the drill bit angle during operation. The support unit enables the drill bit to tilt within a predetermined range while maintaining consistent hole dimensions through controlled elastic deformation, resolving the contradiction between operational flexibility and manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the physical state of the support structure from rigid to elastic, allowing the drill bit angle to vary within controlled parameters. The elastic support unit permits angular deviation within a predetermined range while ensuring the hole dimensions remain consistent, thus maintaining precision despite operational flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If an adapter with elastic support unit is used to allow drill bit movement, then operational flexibility is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedrill bit angle adjustmentVSAvoidadapter structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The adapter is divided into distinct functional segments: a body portion, an elastic support unit, and a drill bit mounting portion. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall design while maintaining operational flexibility and reducing complexity through modular functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present invention relates to an apparatus for punching an anchor bolt insertion hole, wherein the apparatus enables punching work for forming the anchor bolt insertion hole, of which the bottom side is wider than an inlet, on a panel surface for constructing a concrete structure to be performed regardless of the skill of a worker. The apparatus for punching an anchor bolt insertion hole of the present invention separates, during operation, the movement direction of a hammer drill into the vertical direction and the inclination direction so as to enable precise punching work, and doubly arranges springs, which are elastic devices for adjusting the movement range of the hammer drill, so as to uniformly maintain the angle and size for cutting a wall such that a cross-sectional diameter is large at a portion adjacent to the bottom of the anchor bolt insertion hole.
