1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a tool holder arrangement with a chisel holder, which has a chisel receiver in a holding neck for receiving a chisel, exchangeably received therein, wherein the chisel receiver has a shape of a bore and has a chisel insertion opening, the chisel holder has a fastening side with a fastening neck and, facing away from the fastening side, an exterior, and during tool operation centrifugal forces act in a direction from the fastening side to the exterior.
2. Discussion of Related Art
Known arrangement is taught by German Patent Reference DE 43 22 401 C2. Such tool holder arrangements are used in connection with road milling machines, ground stabilizers, mining machinery or the like, for example.
Customarily, the chisel holder is attached to the surface of a milling roller by a base element. The chisel holder is used for the exchangeable reception of a chisel in the chisel receiver. Here, the chisel is maintained with play in the chisel receiver, mainly by using a clamping sleeve. The chisel is then maintained secure against loss, but freely rotatable around a center axis. During the tool operation, the chisel wears down the surface to be processed, for example a road surface, with a chisel tip. The material of the surface is cut into pieces during the process. Coarse and fine surface particles are created and removed from the area of the milling roller. The fine particles can penetrate into the area of the chisel receiver, and become stuck there and hinder free rotatability of the chisel. Occasionally, they stop the chisel completely. The reduced rotating capability causes a rapid wear of the chisel. If this is not recognized in time, the chisel holder is also damaged. This then requires a cost-intensive exchange step.
It can become further disadvantageous if the fine particle material which penetrated into the chisel receiver hinders the exchange of the chisel in the chisel holder.
It is one object of this invention to provide a tool holder arrangement of the type mentioned above, but wherein chisel stoppage because of removed material which penetrated the chisel receiver is prevented.
This object is attained with a holding neck having an opening penetrating the interior wall of the chisel receiver and creating a spatial connection with the surroundings. The opening opens the chisel receiver in the direction toward the exterior.
The removed material carried into the area of the chisel receiver is transported by the rotating chisel along a longitudinal axis of the chisel in the direction facing away from the chisel head. A “pump action” is thus created, which is aided by periodic tool engagement. In accordance with this invention, the chisel holder now has an opening in the area of the chisel receiver and is arranged on the side of the centrifugal force. When the removed material is conveyed into the chisel receiver, it reaches the area of the opening and can again escape into the surroundings. The free rotatability of the chisel is thus maintained.
In one embodiment of this invention, the chisel receiver is embodied as a through-bore and has an expulsion opening facing away from the chisel insertion opening. The opening opens the chisel receiver in the area of the expulsion opening and extends, starting at the expulsion opening, in the direction of the chisel insertion opening. An extensive accessibility to the chisel receiver is provided to the user, which permits a rapid and simple chisel removal.
In accordance with one embodiment of this invention, a chisel shaft of a chisel is inserted into the chisel receiver, and the opening is arranged at least in the area of or near the chisel receiver assigned to the shaft end. With this arrangement, use is made because the carried-in removed material is transported in the direction of the chisel axis toward the free end of the chisel shaft. Now, because the opening is arranged in the area of or near the shaft end of the chisel, the material being collected can easily reach the surroundings.
In this case the opening can be arranged up close to the shaft end, at the shaft end, or partially extending over the shaft end.
The opening can be easily made if the opening is designed as a slit-shaped cutout, which has two delimitation faces extending parallel with respect to each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the chisel receiver, wherein the delimitation faces are at a distance from each other which is less than or equal to the bore diameter of the chisel receiver, or the delimitation faces extend at an angle in relation to each other and define an angle of less than 180°. If the opening takes up a portion of the interior wall of the chisel receiver extending over less than 180° of a circumference of the bore-shaped chisel receiver, then the support function of the chisel receiver for the inserted chisel shaft is only slightly diminished.
The accessibility of the chisel receiver for a disassembly tool is further improved if the chisel holder is fastened on a base element. The base element has a cutout which provides access for a disassembly tool to the expulsion opening of the chisel receiver. The cutout makes a transition into the opening.
A tool holder arrangement in accordance with this invention can have at least one liquid spray device assigned to the chisel holder, which introduces liquid into the chisel receiver through the opening. Then the liquid dissolves the removed material collecting in the chisel receiver, so that it can be easily removed through the opening.
This takes place particularly effectively if the liquid spray device applies a jet of liquid to the free end of the chisel shaft.
This invention is explained in greater detail in view of an exemplary embodiment represented in the drawings, wherein:
A tool holder arrangement having a base element 40 is shown in
The pressure screw 46 acts on a pressure face 13.1 in such a way that the fastening neck 11 is drawn into the plug-in receiver 42. In the process, guide faces 12 arranged in a prism-shape on the front are pressed against correspondingly embodied counter-faces of the base element 40.
The structure of the chisel holder 10 is shown in greater detail in
An opening 22 is cut into the holding neck 15 and creates a spatial connection between the surroundings and the chisel receiver 20. Here, the opening 22 opens the chisel receiver 20 in the direction toward the centrifugal force side of the chisel holder 10, as shown in
The opening 22 is a slit-shaped cutout having two delimitation faces 23 extending parallel with respect to each other along a longitudinal axis of the chisel receiver 20, and the delimitation faces 23 are one of at a distance from each other which is less than or equal to a bore diameter of the chisel receiver 20, and extending at an angle with respect to each other at an angle of less than 180 degree.
When the tool is used, the milling roller, and with it the tool holder arrangement, is rotated in the direction of the arrow “A” indicated in
Centrifugal forces are thus created which act, directed radially outward, in the direction of the centrifugal force side of the chisel holder 10.
As shown in
While removing chips, removed fine material can reach the area of the chisel receiver 22 20 and gain access to the area between the chisel head 32 and the wear protection disk 35, or between the wear protection disk 35 and the support surface 18 of the chisel holder 10. It reaches the chisel receiver 35 20 over these paths, and in the present case the area between the chisel shaft 31 and the clamping sleeve 34. A pumping effect is created as a result of the rotary movement and of a slight limited axial play of the chisel shaft 31 in the clamping sleeve and conveys the removed material in the direction toward the free end of the chisel shaft 31. The removed material then often forms a sticky suspension if a coolant, for example water, is employed in the removal process. As a result of the pumping effect, the removed material is conveyed along the chisel axis from the chisel insertion opening in the direction of the expulsion opening, and thus against the direction of the centrifugal force, until it exits at the free end of the chisel shaft 31 from the intermediate area between the chisel shaft 31 and the clamping sleeve 34. The centrifugal forces acting on the removed material collecting move it through the opening 22 out of the chisel receiver 20.
A tool holder arrangement in accordance with this invention can have at least one liquid spray device, representatively illustrated as spray device 50, assigned to the chisel holder, which introduces liquid into the chisel receiver through the opening. Then the liquid dissolves the removed material collecting in the chisel receiver, so that it can be easily removed through the opening.
Here use is made of the fact that this area is in the “shadows” with respect to the direction of rotation of the roller, i.e. in the area of a clear surface of the chisel 30 and the chisel holder 10. Removal in the direction of rotation or laterally is not possible because of the circumstances at the milling roller, which customarily is enclosed by a hood, because the path is blocked by the milled material, or by the surface to be removed.
As
The opening 22 is in spatial connection with a rear cutout 44 of the base element 40.
A generous access to the free end of the chisel shaft 31 is thus created. This simplifies the application of a disassembly tool to the visible end of the chisel shaft 31. It can then be easily pushed through the removal opening 43 into the chisel receiver 20.
This invention is not limited to the described exemplary embodiment. For example, it is also possible to use a clamping sleeve 34 which does not cover the entire chisel shaft 31. Then the transport of the removed material takes place in the area between the inner wall of the chisel receiver 20 and the chisel shaft 31 which is not covered.
