Integrated Deburring Tool Driver for Pipe Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing deburring tools face challenges in cost-effective production and problem-free handling due to awkward connections with drive units, requiring additional adapters and complex handling procedures.
Innovation Solution
A deburring tool with a shank-shaped driver aligned with the deburring tool's axis, allowing direct insertion into a drill or socket, and featuring a firmly connected driver with an angular or round end section for secure rotation, enabling easy internal and external deburring without additional adapters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If an adapter bell with bayonet lock is used to connect the deburring tool to the drive unit, then the deburring tool can be connected to the drive, but the connection becomes awkward and requires additional adapter parts
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the connection function from a separate adapter bell and integrates it directly into the deburring tool body. The driver is now an integral part of the deburring tool, eliminating the need for separate adapter components and simplifying the connection structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the driver and deburring tool into a single integrated unit. The driver with angular cross-section is directly formed as part of the deburring tool body, combining the driving interface and deburring function into one component, thereby reducing device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a separate adapter bell is used for connection, then the deburring tool can interface with drive units, but additional adapter parts must be installed by the operator
Solution Approach 1:
The driver is designed with an angular cross-section that can interface with various drive units (drills, socket drives, etc.), providing universal compatibility. This single integrated driver design eliminates the need for multiple adapter variants, simplifying both manufacturing and operator installation.
3Ease of operation
If the driver is not firmly connected to the deburring tool, then the deburring tool can be assembled, but additional adapter parts are required and handling becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The driver and deburring tool are merged into a single integral component. The driver is directly formed as part of the deburring tool body, ensuring firm, reliable connection without requiring separate adapter parts or additional assembly steps by the operator.
