Solution Overview
Problem
Existing clamping blocks for parting blades with internal coolant supply are not versatile enough to accommodate various installation situations and machine-side mounts, limiting their usability in different machining setups.
Innovation Solution
A clamping block design with dual coolant outlet openings and corresponding inner channel structures that allow for flexible coolant supply from multiple inlet openings, enabling coolant transfer in both installation directions and accommodating different machine-side mounts without the need for additional hoses, ensuring reliable and adjustable coolant delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a clamping block is designed with a single coolant outlet opening and single installation direction, then the structure is simple, but the adaptability to different installation situations is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping block is designed with dual coolant outlet openings (first and second coolant outlet openings) and corresponding internal coolant channel structures that can supply coolant in both first and second installation directions. This multi-functional design allows the same clamping block to adapt to different installation situations without requiring separate components, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The coolant supply system is segmented into multiple independent pathways: a first internal coolant channel structure with a first coolant outlet opening for one installation direction, and a second internal coolant channel structure with a second coolant outlet opening for the opposite installation direction. This segmentation allows each coolant channel to be optimized for its specific direction while maintaining overall system adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If coolant is supplied from multiple inlet openings, then the adaptability to different machine-side mounts is improved, but the routing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping block incorporates multiple coolant inlet openings (first and second coolant inlet openings) that can receive coolant from different machine-side mount configurations. The internal coolant channel structures are designed to distribute coolant from any of these inlet openings to the appropriate coolant outlet opening based on the installation direction, providing universal adaptability to various machine-side mounts without requiring complex external routing.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the clamping block accommodates both installation directions, then the versatility is improved, but the coolant supply reliability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The coolant supply system is divided into separate, dedicated pathways for each installation direction: a first internal coolant channel structure for the first installation direction and a second internal coolant channel structure for the second installation direction. This segmentation ensures that coolant flow is confined to the appropriate pathway based on installation orientation, preventing cross-contamination or flow interference and maintaining reliable coolant supply in either configuration.
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 clamping block provides a versatile solution for various installation positions, ensuring reliable coolant supply and secure clamping of parting blades, adaptable to different machine setups and reducing the complexity of coolant routing, thereby enhancing machining versatility.
Implementation Method 1
The clamping block has a first internal coolant channel structure through which the first coolant outlet opening can be connected to at least two different first coolant inlet openings of the clamping block. The clamping block also has a second internal coolant channel structure through which the second coolant outlet opening can be connected to at least two different second coolant inlet openings of the clamping block.

AI summary
The invention relates to a clamping block (100) for receiving a parting blade with an internal coolant guide, having a parting blade seat (110) with a contact surface (111) for a lateral surface of the parting blade. The clamping block (100) is designed to receive the parting blade in a first installation direction and in a second installation direction. The contact surface (111) is equipped with a first coolant outlet opening (120) for transferring coolant into the parting blade in an installation in the first installation direction and a second coolant outlet opening (130) for transferring coolant into the parting blade in an installation in the second installation direction. The clamping block (100) is equipped with a first internal coolant channel structure (121), via which the first coolant outlet opening (120) can be communicatively connected to at least two different first coolant inlet openings (122, 123, 124), and a second internal coolant channel structure (131), via which the second coolant outlet opening (130) can be communicatively connected to at least two different second coolant inlet openings (132, 133, 134).
