Solution Overview

Problem

Existing drill bit grinding devices with two separate motive power sources are cumbersome, inefficient in energy use, and limited in adjustable grinding angles, unable to simultaneously grind right spin and left spin drill bits, requiring skilled operation to avoid errors.

Innovation Solution

A double-grinding-wheel type drill bit grinding device with a single driving shaft, featuring two grinding wheels at its ends, multi-axis deflectable grinding seats, and an adjustable apex depth, along with a vacuum passage for dust discharge, enabling simultaneous grinding of right and left spin drill bits and improving environmental sustainability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If two separate motive power sources are used to drive two grinding wheels, then each grinding wheel can be independently driven, but the device becomes cumbersome and wastes electric energy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving powerVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines two separate motive power sources into a single motor that drives a common shaft, which in turn drives both grinding wheels. This merging reduces the number of components, simplifies the device structure, and eliminates energy waste while maintaining the capability to drive two grinding wheels independently through the shaft mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If only flat grinding surfaces are used to fix the drill bit, then the structure is simple, but the adjustable range of grinding angle is limited and cannot grind right spin and left spin drill bits simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrinding angle adjustmentVSAvoidgrinding seat structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces adjustable grinding seats with multiple positioning devices that can be dynamically adjusted to different angles and positions. This allows the grinding seats to adapt to different drill bit types (right spin and left spin) and grinding angle requirements, significantly enhancing versatility without requiring multiple fixed grinding surfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If individual grinding operations are performed on right spin and left spin drill bits, then each bit can be ground individually, but the operation time increases and grinding errors may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrinding efficiencyVSAvoidgrinding accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the grinding function into two independent grinding wheels driven by a common shaft, each capable of processing different drill bit types simultaneously. This segmentation allows right spin and left spin drill bits to be ground at the same time, doubling productivity while maintaining precision through independent positioning and grinding control for each wheel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
