Definitions

  • Conventional rock drills consist of a drill shank and a drill head, in which a side view roof-shaped hard metal cutting element is used (see Fig. 1 of EP 0 452 255 B1).
  • the cutting element has on both sides of the Roof-shaped face wedge-shaped edges or rake faces, each with an upper cutting edge.
  • the cutting edges are opposite a vertical one Center plane of symmetry laterally offset, so that So-called cross cuts occur (see FIG. 2 of EP 0 452 255 B1).
  • That behind the cutting edge in the direction of rotation arranged open spaces usually have one Open space angle of approx. 20 ° - 30 ° compared to a normal one Cutting edge angle or rake face angle of 60 ° of the rake face on, with the angles facing a vertical plane the longitudinal axis of the drill can be measured.
  • the roof-shaped insert made of hard metal can the drill head completely over its entire diameter enforce and usually forms an additional lateral protrusion to form the nominal diameter.
  • Provided no secondary cutting inserts or corresponding pins available are the transition area from the drill helix to Drill head as a support area for the insert educated.
  • the carbide cutting tip is on the side by a corresponding, voluminous support body in the Drill head supported against breaking out, while Storage areas for the removal of the Form drilling dust.
  • A, 0353 214 is a drill bit with a Cement carbide insert, which is used for the processing of Rock serves.
  • a better solder connection between the Chisel body and the cemented carbide insert are to be produced additional side plates made of cemented carbide are provided, which the Embed main cemented carbide insert.
  • the Sintered carbite insert with respect to its longitudinal median plane constructed symmetrically with side sections with Different tip angles are provided, which lead to a lead improved solder connection.
  • a distinction from different rake faces and open faces is with this Tool not provided.
  • the invention has for its object a drilling tool with improved drilling performance in concrete. It should also have a lower load on the Tungsten carbide cutting tip can be achieved.
  • the drill according to the invention has compared to the known Tools the advantage that a significantly better penetration is caused in the concrete by less "blunt" cutting. This immediately results in a faster one Drilling progress.
  • the one acting on the drilling tool Striking performance will not be blunt on a conventionally Tungsten carbide cutting tip transferred, but through a significantly slimmer design of the drill head overall, the impact performance becomes even more effective in Drilling performance implemented. This allows smaller ones Tool dimensions used in larger rotary hammers without being damaged.
  • Through the inventive design of the end face of the hard metal cutting tool there is also less stress on the Carbide insert itself.
  • each open space is divided into at least two open space sections, e.g. can have approximately the same widths, the indicative of the side wall of the hard metal insert Open space section z. B. about twice as large Can have flank angle, such as that to the cutting edge indicative first open space section.
  • a conventional carbide cutting element on its respective Provide open space with a second open space section, with the open space sections facing upwards directed projection length z. B. about halved.

  • Rake face compared to a conventional embodiment an increased rake face angle of> 60 ° and is formed in particular about 70 °. It can vary depending Optimizing the drilling tool flat or be concave or convex.
  • the tangential or aligned transition to the support surface for the carbide insert a role. was it previously thought that a further increase in the rake face angle and thus an even more pointed design of the carbide insert an increased risk of breakage of the tip of the carbide insert extensive experiments have shown that the improved drilling dust drainage of such a cutting edge Resilience increased.
  • Rake face In this context is also the broadening of Rake face can be seen in the direction of the drill axis, there this reduces the width of the cross cutting edge he follows.
  • the lateral support body for the Carbide cutting tip very slim and also pointed is tapered.
  • the lateral support surfaces as possible tapered, in its outer contour z.
  • the outer contour is flat, is convex or concave, the support surfaces for the carbide cutting plate and thus the outer contour of the Almost or completely tangential or asymptotically in the rake face or in the open face of the Carbide cutting elements passes over.
  • This will Front storage areas avoided.
  • This measure on Drill head can also be used with a conventional one Guide the insert to the desired effect.
  • the Rock drill 1 according to the invention only a hinted Drill shank 2 and a drill head 3 on the in the feed direction 16 facing end face 4 a generally over the diameter D1, in their Broad side view of roof-shaped cutting insert 5 has.
  • This insert 5 has on both sides of it roof-shaped formation with the angle ⁇ in the direction of rotation 8 Pointed, wedge-shaped blades or Rake faces 6, 6 'on, with a negative Rake face angle ⁇ and one formed on the face Cutting edge 7, 7 '.
  • 3b is located on the back of the respective rake face 6, 6 'the so-called free area 10, 10' with a Open area angle of ⁇ approx. 20 ° to 30 ° as the usual value.
  • the smaller value applies to drilling tools with a smaller one Nominal diameter (e.g. ⁇ 12 mm), the larger value for such with a larger nominal diameter.
  • the rake face angle is ⁇ with conventional tools usually ⁇ ⁇ 60 °.
  • there is the first flank angle ⁇ 1 of the first Open space section 11 ⁇ 1 ⁇ 20 to 40 ° and in particular ⁇ 1 20 ° to 30 °.
  • the Flank angles ⁇ 1, ⁇ 2 are compared to one Plane 13 lying perpendicular to the drill axis 9 is measured.
  • the first flank section 11 adjacent to the front cutting edge 7 has a projection length S 1 lying in the plane 13 and the adjoining second flank section 12 has a projection length S 2 , the sum of which is determined as length b ,
  • the ratio S 1 : S 2 can vary depending on the application and is not least chosen in coordination with the projection length S 3 of the rake face 6. For example, S 1 ⁇ (0.4 to 0.7) xb.
  • B S 1 + S 2 + S 3 .
  • the front cutting edge 7 is arranged eccentrically to the vertical center plane 14 of the cutting plate 5 between the rake face 6 and the free surface 11 of the hard metal cutting plate 5.
  • the projection length S 3 of the rake face 6 can have a length of approximately 1/3 to 1/6, in particular 1/5 of the total width B of the cutting plate 5.
  • This arrangement is from FIG. 2 particularly clearly recognizable, preferably a concave Formation of the outer contour 19, 19 'of the support body in Drill head is selected and the front indicative area almost tangential or asympotic in the Side wall 20 of the hard metal insert 5 opens.
  • the support side wall 19, 19 'of the drill head forms consequently a side flank with a curved or arched or cylindrical segment-shaped i.e. concave Outer contour.
  • the Rake face angle ⁇ (also called rake angle) in the Order of magnitude of ⁇ ⁇ 60 °, which is one corresponds to the usual value for a rake angle.

  • the second open area section 12 again goes tangential or asymptotically into the further side wall 26, 26 ', so that there is also an extremely slim side Drill head without storage areas opposing the drilling dust forms.
  • the side walls 25, 26 and 25 ', 26' are through the kink line 27 separately (see FIGS. 5 and 7).
  • FIG. 4a in an enlarged representation (5: 1) of FIG. 4, the lengths s 1 to s 3 of the flank sections 11, 12 and the rake faces 6 projected into the horizontal plane 13 are formed.
  • the actual lengths of the flank sections 11, 12 or the rake face 6 result from the projection lengths s 1 to s 3 divided by the cosine of the respective angle ⁇ 1, ⁇ 2 or ⁇ .
  • FIG. 5 and 7 is a side view of the broad side of the Cutting plate 5 shown. They are in the right part of the figure Open space sections 11, 12, in the left part of the figure Rake face 6 can be seen with the respective on this Surface sections tapering tangentially Sidewall sections 25 ', 26'. Of that in front of the rake face 6 'lying side wall section 25' migrates through the rake 6 'removed drilling dust into the following Bohrmehlnut 22 (see perspective view in Fig. 7).
  • FIG. 6a the insert 5 is with a first Open space section 11 and a second Open space section 12 is shown, as is the case with FIGS. 1, 2 as well as 4 and 5.
  • Fig. 6b there is only one Open space 10 shown symbolically, but also with shortened cross cutting edge 24 due to the above facts.
