Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the technical field of cutting tools, and particularly relates to a cutting device of a self-centering cutter holder.


BACKGROUND

A cold milling machine, referred to as a road pulverizer or a road turning machine sometimes, is generally a machine that includes a framework supported on all four sides by a crawler type or wheel type drive unit. The framework is used to install an engine, an operator station and a milling drum. The surface of a road is pulverized by the engine that rotates the milling drum equipped with a cutting tool through a suitable interconnection.


Such a machine is generally a machine with a working roller that is driven and can rotate about a horizontal axis, on which a plurality of ground processing tools, particularly shearing blocks or chisels, and particularly round bar chisels are arranged.


In an actual cutting process, the milling drum rotates rapidly and continuously to cut off the damaged ground. In such a reciprocating cutting-off process, several replaceable supports installed on the milling drum are regularly subjected to such a working condition with a high frequency, large impact force and strong vibration. Under such a harsh working condition, combinations of the replaceable supports and the base are liable to have changes, for example, misalignment, loose separation and so on. When analyzing the reasons for similar situations, we found that the replaceable supports had variable degrees of freedom and instability in the assembly positioning with the base, which greatly affected quality of pavement construction; and moreover, construction work needed to be interrupted so as to repair or reassemble the separated and missing replaceable supports.


The main components of such a replaceable support system include replaceable supports provided with a processing tool of the base part and connected to the base part. In particular, the replaceable supports can be formed integrally with the processing tool or can also have appropriate tool containing parts configured to contain tools for ground processing, such as chisels, particularly round bar chisels. The base part is firmly fixed, for example, by being fixed to the cylindrical outer surface of a supporting turning roller, particularly by fixing and welding the base part onto a roller body. The base part constitutes a connecting element of the replaceable support system and a roller base body. Although the conventional quick-to-change tool holder system has proved successful in principle, it still needs improvement, which particularly involves the replacement of processing tools and/or quick-to-change tool holders and the reliability and service life of the entire quick-to-change tool holder system. For example, the assembly surfaces of the replaceable supports and the base are worn and deformed due to repeated impact force, so the purpose of fastening each other cannot be achieved, that is, the entire replaceable support system can no longer be used.

In addition, the main body 210 includes a transition surface 200, which is at least locally between the pressure surface 29 and the cutter mounting part 22, is arranged behind the extension handle part 202 in a direction reverse to the second working direction V2, and is in transition connection to the pressure surface 29 through a fillet 209. The pressure surface 29 is a circular-arc surface with a radius R1, and a circle center 01 of the circular-arc surface is on the symmetrical plane M of the cutter holder 2, and is superposed with the central axis L, preferably, R1 ranges from 50 mm to 60 mm.


As shown in FIG. 7, a through hole 204 is formed in the main body 210, is formed behind the extension handle part 202 in the second working direction V2, and penetrates through the main body 210. The main body 210 is provided with a counter bore 205 thereon, which is formed behind the extension handle part 202 in the second working direction V2. The through hole 204 and the counter bore 205 share a central axis L22, and the counter bore 205 is formed above the through hole 204 in a third direction V3. Moreover, the central axis L22 and the central axis L of the extension handle part 202 are arranged in parallel.


As further shown in FIG. 7, a cutter mounting surface 21, which is a stop and abut-against surface after a cutter is mounted, is arranged at an inlet of the cutter mounting part 22. Due to high-speed rotation in work of the cutter, the cutter mounting surface 21 is gradually worn to be small along with use of the cutter; a plurality of wear indicating slots 20 are formed in the outer peripheral surface of the cutter mounting part 22 for judging a use wear condition of the cutter mounting surface 21; and after the wear indicating slots 20 are worn, a novel cutter hold needs to be mounted on the base body 3 of the cutting device 1.


As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the containing part 30 of the base body 3 is provided with a central axis L1, and a surface plain line 32 of the containing surface 30.1 forms an included angle b around L1. As a result, the containing part 30 forms a conical hollow chamber, and the diameter of the containing part is actually reduced gradually in a direction reverse to the V3 direction. Preferably, the included angle b ranges from 5 degrees to 15 degrees, and the included angle b is equal to the included angle a. The inlet 31 of the containing part is arranged between the stress surface 37 and the containing part 30, the stress surface 37 is connected to an attaching surface 36 through a fillet 39, the attaching surface 36 is connected to an auxiliary surface 38 through a fillet 39.1; a blind hole 34 is provided with a central axis L2, and passes through the auxiliary surface 38, the attaching surface 36 and the stress surface 37; the counter bore 35 and the blind hole 34 are coaxially formed, and are formed above the blind hole 34 in a direction reverse to V3. The blind hole 33 is provided with a central axis L3 which is formed in a V2 direction, preferably, L2 is perpendicular to L3. The attaching surface 36 is a circular-arc surface with a radius R2, and a circle center 02 of the circular-arc surface is on the plane M1 of the base body 3, and is superposed with the central axis L1, preferably, R2 ranges from 50 mm to 60 mm.


According to the cutting device 1 assembled and cut in the A-A direction in FIG. 10, a full view 11 of the cutter holder 2, the base body 3 and the fastening part 5 is obtained. The cutter holder 2 is fixed in the containing part 30 of the base body 3 through the extension handle part 202; moreover, if the included angle a is equal to the included angle b, the central axis L1 of the containing part 30 is superposed with the central axis L of the extension handle part 202; as mentioned above, the cylindrical fastening part 5 is provided with inner threads 50, and is used as a nut; after the locking part 4 is screwed up, the locking surface 42 thereof tightly fits to the counter bore surface 205.1 of the cutter holder 2 under action of clamping force F1 in the V3 direction; and meanwhile, the outer circular surface 51 of the fastening part 5 tightly presses the inner surface of the blind hole 33 to form a structure with a surface tangential to the inside; it can be seen that force F is generated under action of the clamping force F1 along the central axis L of the extension handle part 202; and the supporting surface 203 and the containing surface 30.1 of the containing part 30 define a tapered matching relationship. The advantage is that tapered matching defines an interference fit relationship under action of force in the F direction, and fastening between the supporting surface 203 and the containing surface 30.1 of the containing part 30 is increased along with increase of force in the V3 direction. The supporting surface 203 of the extension handle part 202 is completely meshed with the containing surface 30.1 of the containing part 30; and meanwhile, the pressing surface 28 is meshed with the pressure surface 37; the pressure surface 29 and the attaching surface 36 are tightly attached, and a relatively small gap, for example 0.5 mm, is formed between the transition surface 200 and the auxiliary surface 38. The pressing surface 28 and the stress surface 37 are difficult to attach due to existence of processing tolerance; and only the pressing surface 28 and the stress surface 37 are attached with a greater attaching area as the transition surface 200 and the auxiliary surface 38 are difficult to attach simultaneously.


As shown in FIG. 11, when the cutter holder 2 needs to dismount, the fastening part 4 is firstly rotated out anticlockwise; in practical work of the cutting device 1, fine debris and residues on a pavement will enter a gap between the outer circular surface 51 of the fastening part 5 and the inner surface of the blind hole 33 to block the fastening part 5, and therefore, a circular ring slot 53 is formed in the surface 51 at one end, exposed out of the base body 3, of the fastening part 5. In such a manner, the circular ring slot 53 can be pried with a flat hole via a flat tool, for example a straight screwdriver, so that the fastening part 5 can be easily taken out in the direction reverse to the V2 direction.


According to the cutting device 1 assembled and cut in the D-D direction in FIG. 10, a full view 12 of the cutter holder 2, the base body 3, the locking part 4 and the fastening part 5 is obtained. If R1 is equal to R2, the circle center 01 of the pressure surface 29 is superposed with the circle center 02 of the attaching surface 36, i.e., the central axis L1 of the containing part 30 is superposed with the central axis L of the extension handle part 202, and therefore, the cutter holder 2 can freely rotate by 360 degrees around the circle center 01/02. In such a manner, machining precision is favorably controlled, and the cutter holder 2 is dismounted quickly and conveniently; when the cutter holder 2 is dismounted, the pressing surface 28 and the stress surface 37 are pressed. As a result of cooling water when the cutting device 1 works, the pressure surface 29 and the attaching surface 36 are tightly bonded together due to rust corrosion generated there-between; and the discharge surfaces 26.1 and 27.1 on the side surface of the cutter holder 2 can be knocked back and forth by an iron hammer in a V direction and a V1 direction to rotate the cutter holder 2, so that rust corrosion bonding force can be easily relieved.


As can be seen from FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, three dismounting parts 23 are arranged on the cutter holder 2; the dismounting parts are separately arranged between the pressing surface 28 and the discharge surface 26.1, between the pressing surface 28 and the discharge surface 27.1 and between the pressing surface 28 and the discharge surface 25, and are sunken into the main body 210 in the V3 direction; the dismounting parts 23 are standby parts for dismounting the cutter holder 2, and can be sequentially pried by forming the lever principle in a mode of plugging prying rods, such as straight screwdrivers, into the dismounting parts 23 and utilizing the stress surface 37 of the base body 3, so that the cutter holder 2 is dismounted.


Although have been disclosed as above, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and the embodiments, and can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. It is easy for those familiar with the field to implement additional modifications, so that the present invention is not limited to the specific details and embodiments shown and described herein without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and equivalent scope.
