Round Shaft Bit Retaining Sleeve for Wear Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing chisel designs face issues with wear optimization, uneven wear, and difficulty in reusing chisels after dismantling from holders, leading to increased assembly complexity and wear on cost-intensive chisel holders.
Innovation Solution
The chisel features a support element with a recess on its upper side to accommodate the chisel head, forming a labyrinthine closure for reduced rotational wear, and includes radially outer recesses for material excavation, along with a deflection section to facilitate easy assembly and disassembly, ensuring minimal wear on the chisel holder and even wear distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the support element is fixed in a rotationally fixed manner relative to the chisel holder, then the chisel holder is protected from wear, but the chisel experiences uneven wear and the support element works unevenly into the facing contact surface due to impact loads
Solution Approach 1:
The support element is designed to rotate relative to the chisel holder through a bearing arrangement, transforming the static fixed connection into a dynamic rotating connection. This allows the support element to self-adjust and distribute wear evenly across its circumference while the chisel rotates during operation, preventing concentrated wear at single contact points.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the chisel is dismantled from the chisel holder, then worn chisels can be replaced, but assembly becomes more complicated requiring separate clamping tools to prestress the clamping sleeve
Solution Approach 1:
The support element is designed with a preliminary action mechanism where it automatically prestresses the clamping sleeve during the assembly process itself, eliminating the need for separate clamping tools. The support element's geometry and positioning create the necessary prestressing force as the chisel is inserted into the holder, simplifying the assembly operation to a single insertion motion.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the support element exerts rotating wear to enable chisel rotation, then even wear distribution is achieved, but increased wear occurs on the chisel holder
Solution Approach 1:
The rotational wear function is extracted from the chisel holder and transferred to the support element. The support element rotates relative to the holder through a bearing, so that wear occurs on the support element rather than the expensive chisel holder. This separation allows the support element to enable even wear distribution on the chisel while protecting the holder from wear.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the fastening sleeve is made resilient with a longitudinal slot for variable diameter, then different clamping states can be achieved, but the assembly process becomes more complex requiring precise positioning
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening sleeve with longitudinal slot is designed to automatically self-position and self-adjust during assembly. The resilient material and slot geometry enable the sleeve to elastic-deform and snap into the correct position when the chisel is inserted, eliminating the need for precise manual positioning or complex alignment procedures. The sleeve serves itself by using the insertion force to achieve proper clamping state.
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
This design ensures minimal rotational wear, easy assembly and disassembly, and even wear distribution across the chisel circumference, improving milling results and reducing wear on the chisel holder.
Implementation Method 1
The fastening sleeve is designed as a clamping sleeve, which is made of a resilient material, such as sheet steel... the support element has a bore which is dimensioned in such a way that the fastening sleeve is held in a prestressed state with a reduced outer diameter compared to its relaxed state
Implementation Method 2
As the chisel shank is further inserted into the bore, the support element is moved into an area of the chisel shank that is not encompassed by the clamping sleeve. The fastening sleeve then springs open radially and braces itself in the bore of the chisel holder.
