Chisel Shank Structured Section Prevents Jamming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Hand-held power chiseling tools often get stuck in rock, particularly when chiseling cement-containing rock, due to the lack of effective measures to prevent jamming during operation.
Innovation Solution
A chisel tool with a structured section on the shank featuring inclined ribs and channels, which creates additional space through vibration, reducing the risk of sticking by allowing for better dust removal and reduced friction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If the chisel tool is used with powerful hand tools for chiseling rock, then the chiseling power and efficiency are improved, but the risk of the tool becoming stuck in the rock increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the vibration typically occurring during operation of the chisel tool to create additional clearance along the tool shank within the chisel hole. The structured section with inclined ribs interacts with the rock walls through vibration, preventing the tool from becoming stuck while maintaining high chiseling power.
Solution Approach 2:
The tool shank is given a localized structured section with inclined ribs at a specific position, rather than modifying the entire shank. This structured section has different geometric properties (inclined ribs at 45-60 degrees) compared to the rest of the smooth shank, creating local clearance zones that prevent jamming without affecting overall tool strength.
2Ease of operation
If the tool shank has a structured section with inclined ribs, then the clearance and dust removal are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The structured section is divided into multiple inclined ribs that are spaced apart, creating individual clearance channels between adjacent ribs. This segmentation allows chisel dust to be effectively removed through the spaces between ribs while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure that can be manufactured using conventional processes.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The structured section effectively prevents the chisel tool from getting stuck in rock holes by creating space through vibration and improved dust removal, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing jamming risks.
Implementation Method 1
the structured section, due to the vibration typically occurring during operation of the chisel tool, can contribute to creating additional clearance along the tool shank
Implementation Method 2
The outer edge of the rib can be particularly easily configured for grinding and/or sawing. The outer edge may be sharpened and/or hardened.
Implementation Method 3
The structured section can be configured for rubbing and/or sawing to further enhance its clearance-creating effect in conjunction with the vibration.
