Detachable Deburring Tool Slider for Front and Back Edge Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing deburring tools, such as those described in Patent Literature 2, require complex procedures to replace the floater, and they are limited to performing back surface deburring, making it difficult to switch between back and front surface deburring operations.
Innovation Solution
A detachable tool system that includes a housing with an elastic body chamber and a slider with a guide groove, allowing for easy attachment and detachment from a tool holder. The system includes a retaining body for radial inward movement, enabling the tool to be easily replaced and adapted for both back and front surface deburring.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a floater is used for back surface deburring, then back surface deburring function is achieved, but the tool cannot be easily replaced with a floater for front surface deburring
Solution Approach 1:
The tool is divided into separable components: the floater can be independently removed from the tool holder, and the tip tool can be separately replaced on the slider. This segmentation allows different floaters (for back surface or front surface deburring) to be easily swapped without replacing the entire tool assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The tool holder and slider are designed with universal interfaces that can accommodate different types of floaters and tip tools. The guide groove and retaining body structure provide a universal mounting mechanism that works for both back surface deburring floaters and front surface deburring floaters, enabling one tool holder to perform multiple deburring functions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a floater is used for back surface deburring, then back surface deburring function is achieved, but the replacement procedure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The tip tool is extracted as a separate replaceable component from the floater assembly. The slider allows the tip tool to be independently mounted or removed without affecting the floater, simplifying the replacement procedure to just changing the tip tool rather than the entire floater assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The slider with the tip tool is nested within the floater structure, and the entire assembly is nested within the tool holder. This nested configuration allows the tip tool to be replaced independently while maintaining the integrated structure of the floater and tool holder, reducing replacement complexity.

AI summary
Provided is a detachable tool (30) detachably attached to a tool mounting hole (21c) of a tool holder (20, 120) including the tool mounting hole (21c), and a retaining body (25) disposed in the tool mounting hole (21c) in a radially inwardly reciprocable manner. The detachable tool (30) includes: a housing (31) supported at a predetermined position of the tool mounting hole (21c), the housing (31) including an elastic body chamber (31f), and a retaining body insertion hole (31c) through which the retaining body (25) is inserted; a slider (36) to which a tip tool (43) having a blade at a basal end portion is mountable, the slider (36) supported by the housing (31) to reciprocate inside the tool mounting hole (21c), the slider (36) having a guide groove (40) extending along the tool mounting hole (21c); an elastic body (39) disposed in the elastic body chamber (31f) to urge the slider (36) toward a basal end; and an anti-rotation body (33) disposed in the housing (31) to be received in the guide groove (40).
