- the sawtooth connection of the preferred form provides a forward directed leading edge which creates a downward axial force vector which forces the cutting head 12 against the support surfaces 62 , 64 , also resulting in a more secure connection.
- the combination of these structures work synergistically to provide a connection which effectively removes any relative movement between the cutting head 12 and tool body 14 , resulting in an assembled tool which performs in the desired manner.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a cutting tool assembly for rotary cutting and/or machining, comprising a tool body and a replaceable cutting head. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cutting tool having a replaceable cutting head retained on a tool body by a retaining system, wherein the cutting head comprises a unique mating surface configuration enabling an increased retention force on the cutting head while providing optimized torque transferability.
- It is previously known to provide rotary cutting tools, such as drills, with replaceable cutting heads or drill tips. These tips have been retained on a tool body by many methods including radial set screws secured through lands provided on the tool body, press fit connections using dove-tail profiles, axial screws and drawbars, etc. While each method has different advantages and disadvantages, none of these tools can be easily and quickly replaced while maintaining optimized torque transferability, high feed rates, and a secure mounting to the tool body. Some prior tools of this type have worked well but have not been generally usable in aggressive machining operations, which produce high stress on the connection of the cutting head to the tool body.
- Several examples of prior art configurations use a dovetail profile to connect the cutting head to the tool body. The cutting head is inserted into a recess generally having at least one radial base surface. The cutting head is then rotated such that a dovetail profile on the cutting head engages a dovetail recess of the tool body. This engagement is typically an interference fit type arrangement such that the cutting head is prevented from rotating in a disengaging direction. In order for the interference fit to provide sufficient retaining force, high stresses result at the tool body interface with the cutting head and in some cases, a special tool is needed to connect and disconnect the cutting head. Another problem with such a connection is that the feed force during operation of the tool pushes the cutting head downward into the tool body, which can lessen the retaining force of the dovetail connection and permit the cutting head to loosen.
- Other examples of connecting the cutting head use an axial engagement bar to secure the cutting head to the tool body. Although attempting to clamp the head to the body, the high stress at the interface again may result in loosening of the connection and/or make the tool susceptible to eccentric and other loads.
- It is also found in various tools with replaceable cutting heads, that it may be impossible to change the cutting head while the tool is mounted in an associated tool holder or machine. Thus, it is required that the entire tool be removed from the tool holder or machine, the cutting head then being replaced, and the tool being reintroduced into the machine for continued operation. Such a process adds labor and time, and detracts from the advantages of having the replaceable insert, and from the machining speeds achievable.
- Accordingly, there remains a need in the art for a new drill assembly utilizing a replaceable cutting head which combines the advantages of a replaceable cutting head with the ability to be used in aggressive machining operations in which high stress conditions will exist. There also remains a need to provide drill assembly utilizing a replaceable cutting head which allows the cutting head to be replaced while the tool is mounted in the tool holder or machine to simplify and speed up this process.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new cutting tool assembly comprising a replaceable cutting head and a tool body having a common longitudinal axis and mating peripheral surfaces. The cutting head has a cutting portion forming a leading end, a pilot portion forming a trailing end, and a cutting head mounting portion adjacent the trailing end of the cutting head. The tool body has a cutting head receiving portion formed at a leading end of the tool body and a pilot recess disposed in the leading end of the tool body to matingly receive the pilot portion of the cutting head. The cutting head mounting portion and the cutting head receiving portion of the tool body each have at least two coupling portions. The cutting head coupling portions and the tool body coupling portions are bound by their peripheral surfaces and generally mate in shape and dimensions. Each coupling portion has a pair of base surfaces, including upper and lower surfaces. The base surfaces extend transversely to the longitudinal axis and provide support of the cutting head in the tool body. A torque transmission wall extends between the upper and lower base surfaces from the pilot portion surface in a generally transverse direction relative to the longitudinal axis and oriented transversely to the base surfaces. A fastener may be disposed in the tool body along its longitudinal axis where it matingly engages the pilot portion of the cutting head and exerts an axial force on the cutting head for pressing the cutting head mounting portion against the cutting head receiving portion of the tool body.

Cuttinghead receiving portion 60 is formed to matingly engage cuttinghead mounting portion 36 andcylindrical pilot portion 32 ofcutting head 12. Referring again to FIG. 2, the cuttinghead receiving portion 60 comprises a pair of diametrically disposed toolbody coupling portions 80 each radially bound by a land, orperipheral surface 78 andchip flutes 22. Each cuttinghead receiving portion 60 has a single-step configuration with alower base surface 62 adjacent onechip flute section 22, anupper base surface 64 adjacent the otherchip flute section 22 and atorque transmission wall 66 therebetween, which all extend from theperipheral surface 78 of the cuttinghead receiving portion 60, generally transversely inward towards acylindrical recess 84 formed betweencoupling portions 80. -
Lower support surface 62 andupper support surface 64 of thetool body 14 are both oriented transversely to longitudinal axis A and obliquely to a radial plane through longitudinal axis A.Lower support surface 62 andupper support surface 64 are oriented obliquely inward in the transverse direction and directed towardtool shank 16.Lower support surface 62 andupper support surface 64 may be planar or formed as a curved surface, such as in a generally helical shape.Lower support surface 62 is oriented at an angle towardtorque transmission wall 66 such that afirst end 68 of thelower support surface 62 which mates withtorque transmission wall 66 is lower with respect to asecond end 70 oflower support surface 62 which terminates atflute 22.Torque transmission wall 66 is oriented at an acute angle with respect tolower support surface 62.Upper support surface 64 of thetool body 14 is oriented at a reverse angle fromtorque transmission wall 66 such that afirst end 72 ofupper support surface 64 which mates withtorque transmission wall 66 is lower with respect to asecond end 74 ofupper support surface 64 which terminates atflute 22 andsurface 76 which forms a transition portion from thetool body 14 to the cuttinghead 12. As with the cutting head,torque transmission wall 66 is oriented at an acute angle with respect toupper support 10surface 64.Upper support surface 64,torque transmission wall 66, andlower support surface 62 form a “sawtooth” engagement such that none of the support surfaces, 62, 64, are in a radial plane andtorque transmission wall 66 is oriented at an acute angle to both support surfaces 62, 64 oftool body 14. - Cutting
head 12 matingly engagestool body 14 as best shown in FIG. 7. The sawtooth engagement of the cuttinghead 12 ontool body 14 assists in retaining cuttinghead 12 ontool body 14. The angled engagement surfaces enable both torsional forces and axial forces imposed on thetool 10 in operation, to assist in securing the cuttinghead 12 ontool body 14. Torsional forces are transmitted directly fromtorque transmission wall 46 of cuttinghead 12 totorque transmission wall 66 oftool body 14. The opposing angled surfaces oftorque transmission walls head 12 towardtool body 14 in operation. In a similar fashion, lower base and support surfaces 44, 64 are also angled relative to one another and thetorque transmission walls tool assembly 10 assists in drawingtorque transmission wall 46 of cuttinghead 12 totorque transmission wall 66 oftool body 14 resulting in the additional retention force through the sawtooth engagement. In addition, the angled surfaces of the sawtooth engagement help ensure that cuttinghead 12 is properly aligned ontool body 14 during assembly. - Referring now to FIG. 8, a cross-sectional view of the assembled cutting tool assembly is shown. A
fastener assembly 18 facilitates retention of the cuttinghead 12 ontool body 14.Fastener assembly 18 comprises aconnection member 90, aspring 92, and aspring retainer plug 94. In operation,connection member 90 is inserted into a correspondingcylindrical cavity 98 along the longitudinal axis A oftool body 14.Spring 92 is then inserted intoaxial cavity 98 through an opening at the trailingend 96 oftool shank 16 and retained in thecavity 98 byspring retainer plug 94.Spring retainer plug 94 threadably engages the walls ofcavity 98 such thatspring 92biases connection member 90 toward the leading end of thetool body 14.Connection member 90 comprises a threadedportion 108 on a leading end of theconnection member 90, which matingly engages a threadedrecess 100 withincylindrical pilot portion 32 of cuttinghead 12. Theconnection member 90 is drawn backwards towards a trailingend 96 oftool shank 16 by anadjusting mechanism 102. Adjustingmechanism 102 may comprise a set screw, which is adjustable in a direction transverse to longitudinal axis A within anaperture 104 intool shank 16 which extends through from the perimeter of thetool shank 16 tocavity 98. Setscrew 102 engages anangled mating surface 106 inconnection member 90 thereby drawingconnection member 90 towards the trailingend 96 oftool shank 16 and securing cuttinghead 12 thereon. Setscrew 102 is adjusted to provide sufficient tension onconnection member 90 to obtain a predetermined preload. In general, the preload on the connection member should be greater than the elastic deformation of thetool holder 14 andshank 16. This will help ensure that a cuttinghead 12 is retained on thetool body 14. -
Drill assembly 10 is intended to be used such that the cuttinghead 12 can be replaced while thetool shank 16 remains in the tool holder (not shown). The method of replacing cuttinghead 12 comprises the steps of first loosening setscrew 102 such thatconnection member 90 moves longitudinally toward the leading end oftool body 14 under the biasing force ofspring 92. The cuttinghead 12 is either pushed away from the tool body mating surface or is rotated slightly to disengage the sawtooth engagement and allow cuttinghead 12 to move longitudinally under the bias force ofspring 92. Once theset screw 102 has been loosened to a predetermined position, the cuttinghead 12 is removed from theleading end 108 ofconnection member 90 by rotating cuttinghead 12. Once cuttinghead 12 is sufficiently disengaged such that the cuttinghead mounting portion 36 of cuttinghead 12 and cuttinghead receiving portion 60 oftool body 14 do not interfere with each other, the cuttinghead 12 is disengaged fromconnection member 90. To install thereplacement cutting head 12 while thetool shank 16 remains in the tool holder, the opposite procedure is used. Thepilot portion 32 is axially aligned with therecess 84 in a manner that theinsert 12 is axially aligned with thetool body 14. The cuttinghead 12 is aligned such that the threadedrecess 100 incylindrical pilot portion 32 is directly over theleading end 108 ofconnection member 90. The cuttinghead 12 is then rotated in the appropriate direction until the base and support surfaces 42, 64 of the cuttinghead 12 andtool body 14 approach each other. The cuttinghead 12 is generally aligned such that the base surfaces 42, 44 of cuttinghead 12 and support surfaces 62, 64 oftool body 14, respectively, are aligned, and the cuttinghead 12 is then rotated as thehead 12 is drawn toward the support surfaces 62, 64 until matingly engaged. The cuttinghead 12 is then rotated slightly such thattorque transfer walls 46 of cuttinghead 12 register againsttorque transfer walls 66 oftool body 14. While the cutting head is in position, setscrew 102 is then rotated in an appropriate direction such thatconnection member 90 is moved longitudinally toward the trailingend 96 oftool shank 16 until a predetermined amount of retention force is applied on cuttinghead 12 againsttool body 14 to provide a preload onconnection member 90. As previously mentioned, the retention force is generally sufficient such that the preload on the connection member is greater than the elastic deformation of thetool holder 14 andshank 16. This will help ensure that a cuttinghead 12 is retained on thetool body 14. - Turning to FIGS. 9 and 10, cutting
head 12 is typically made of a hard material, such as hardened carbide, high-speed steel, ceramic material or any other suitable material. In an alternate embodiment, cuttinghead 12′ further comprises athread insert 110 which is inserted into threadedrecess 100 on thecylindrical pilot portion 32 of cuttinghead 12.Thread insert 110 is used to protect the threads ofconnection member 90 from being worn down by the threads of tool material of the cuttinghead 12 while different cutting heads 12 are being repeatedly removed and replaced. Thethread insert 110, being of larger diameter, will provide additional strength in the connection with cuttinghead 12, and will more accurately engage theretention assembly 18. - It should be recognized from the foregoing that the present invention provides distinct advantages in the use of a replaceable cutting head, while allowing operation in aggressive machining environments. The configuration of the connection between the cutting
head 12 andtool body 14 provides an assembled tool which performs substantially as a unitary construction, while providing the benefits of a replaceable cutting head. In the preferred form, the base surfaces 42, 44 and support surfaces 62, 64 are configured such that the mating relationship between the surfaces is angled inwardly so feed thrust will force the insert toward the torque transmission wall to more firmly secure the cuttinghead 12 on thetool body 14. Further, the sawtooth connection of the preferred form provides a forward directed leading edge which creates a downward axial force vector which forces the cuttinghead 12 against the support surfaces 62, 64, also resulting in a more secure connection. The combination of these structures work synergistically to provide a connection which effectively removes any relative movement between the cuttinghead 12 andtool body 14, resulting in an assembled tool which performs in the desired manner. - Although the present invention has been described above in detail, the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken as a limitation on the present invention. Accordingly, the scope and content of the present invention are to be defined only by the terms of the appended claims.
