Double-Conical Screwdriving Tool Holder for Precise Centering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screw-in tools face challenges in achieving precise axial positioning and centering due to limitations in contact surface designs, such as radial collars and conical surfaces, which can lead to deformation and misalignment.
Innovation Solution
A screw-in tool with a support area formed by two conical contact surfaces of different cone angles, along with a tool holder featuring conical bearing surfaces, creates a double cone structure for enhanced centering and supporting, allowing for precise thread prestressing and reduced spreading forces, while additional spherical or cylindrical contact areas provide partial contact and independent preload.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a conical contact surface is used to improve centering, then centering effect is improved, but outer walls of the tool holder deform outwards due to wedge effect
Solution Approach 1:
The single conical contact surface is segmented into two conical contact surfaces with different cone angles. The first conical contact surface (with smaller cone angle) provides centering, while the second conical contact surface (with larger cone angle) provides support and balances radial forces, preventing tool holder deformation.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the support area are given different geometric properties - the first conical contact surface has a smaller cone angle optimized for centering, while the second conical contact surface has a larger cone angle optimized for force distribution and preventing deformation. Each local region is optimized for its specific function.
2Reliability
If conical surfaces with opposite pointing cones are used to balance radial forces, then tool interface protection is improved, but flexibility of the tool interface is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Different local regions of the support area are assigned different cone angles optimized for specific functions. The first conical contact surface uses a smaller cone angle for centering, while the second uses a larger cone angle for force balancing. This localized optimization maintains flexibility while ensuring protection.
