Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional core drills require manual chamfering of large-diameter holes, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs, as they cannot easily form chamfered or countersunk portions at the opening end of cut holes.

Innovation Solution

A core drill design that incorporates a base body with a shank and a drill core body featuring a connection opening portion with a concave portion forming member, allowing for the simultaneous formation of cut holes and concave portions like chamfers or countersinks using large-diameter hole cutting blades, which can be detachably attached to the base body.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual chamfering is used to facilitate pipe insertion and bolt installation, then the ease of operation is improved, but the productivity deteriorates due to time-consuming and labor-intensive operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of pipe insertionVSAvoidwork efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the drilling operation and chamfering operation into a single integrated tool. The core drill includes both a drill cutting blade for creating the hole and a chamfering blade for forming the chamfered portion, allowing both operations to be performed simultaneously in one step, thereby improving productivity while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Manufacturing precision

If manual chamfering is performed by workers using cutting tools, then the manufacturing precision may be improved, but the loss of time increases and productivity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of chamfered portionVSAvoidtime for chamfering operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The integrated core drill performs drilling and chamfering in a single operation, eliminating the time loss associated with sequential manual operations while maintaining precision through the designed geometry of the chamfering blade that automatically forms the correct chamfered portion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The chamfering blade is positioned and configured in advance on the core drill tool, so that the chamfering action is prepared and executed simultaneously with drilling, rather than requiring separate preparatory or follow-up manual chamfering operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If a simple core drill without integrated chamfering capability is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the productivity deteriorates due to additional manual operations required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure of core drillVSAvoidwork efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates multiple cutting functions (drilling and chamfering) into a single core drill tool with a unified structure. The tool includes a drill cutting blade and a chamfering blade that work together in one operation, achieving enhanced productivity without proportionally increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The core drill is designed as a multi-functional tool that can perform both drilling and chamfering operations. This universality allows a single tool to replace what would otherwise require multiple separate tools or operations, improving productivity while maintaining reasonable device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
