Definitions
- the invention relates to a chuck for a non-circular, preferably polygonal shaft of a tool insert, in particular screwdriver bits, according to the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
- Chuck for interchangeable tool inserts e.g. Screwdriver bits with hexagonal shank
- Screwdriver bits with hexagonal shank in known designs are essentially constructed according to three principles.
- the chuck consists of an inner sleeve with an internal hexagon profile, which corresponds to the hexagonal profile of the shank of the tool insert and transmits the torque from the drive shaft of the chuck to the tool insert.
- At least one ball as a clamping element is mounted in the wall of the inner sleeve so as to be radially movable in a bore or slot.
- An outer sleeve which is axially displaced by a spring force, grips over the ball, the ball being clamped between the mostly conical inner wall of the outer sleeve and a retaining notch in the hexagonal shaft of the tool insert or its surface.
- the outer sleeve To insert the tool insert, the outer sleeve must be moved against the axially acting spring force so that the ball can be moved radially outwards and the hexagonal shaft can be inserted into the inner sleeve of the chuck. The same procedure must be followed to release the tension.
- Chucks according to this functional principle are described in DE 29 34 428 AI and DE 38 29 331 C2.
- the disadvantage is that with some chucks the outer sleeve has to be displaced in the direction of the working tip of the tool insert. This can cause the chuck to be pulled out of the cradle in the prime mover.
- Another disadvantage is that the radial mobility and thus the clamping action of the ball can easily be disturbed by dirt particles that have penetrated into the chuck.
- the fixation of the tool insert is effected in such a way that an outer sleeve is rotatably mounted on the inner sleeve of the chuck and a locking plate is firmly connected to the outer sleeve.
- the locking plate has a circular opening with six prism-shaped recesses.
- a spring washer is inserted in the inner sleeve of the chuck, which has spring tongues which run radially inwards and which are slightly oblique in the direction of insertion of the insert, the imaginary connection of the tips of the spring tongues forming a circle, the diameter of which is approximately the tangent circle corresponds to the hexagonal surface of the shank of the tool insert.
- the outer sleeve is rotatable and axially slidably fixed on the inner sleeve. It has a bore corresponding to the outer circle of the profile of the hexagonal shank of the tool insert, the end wall on its inner surface has an annular extension projecting into the insertion opening of the inner sleeve.
- the tool insert can be inserted into the chuck with slight axial force and rotary movement without actuation of the outer sleeve, the rotary movement being necessary because no demonstration for the Hexagonal profile of the shaft is given to the same inner profile of the inner sleeve.
- the tips of the spring tongues snap into the locking grooves of the hexagonal shaft or in front of a shoulder and thus hold the insert.
- To remove the outer sleeve is moved in the direction away from the insertion opening.
- the ring-shaped shoulder on the inside of the end wall presses on the spring tongues and moves them outwards, so that the locking engagement in the locking grooves or in front of the shoulder is canceled.
- the insert can now be removed from the chuck.
- the disadvantage is that here too a relative rotation of the two sleeves is required and that it can happen because of the play between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve that the spring tongues spread out very evenly and therefore the removal is inhibited.
- the task is to improve the design of the chuck designed according to the third principle so that the rotational movement when inserting the tool insert is not required. This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
- the invention has the advantage that the tool insert is largely automatically pushed out of the chuck by the ejection spring after the locking connection has been released. In addition, a rotary movement is not required to establish or to release the latching connection.
- Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of the chuck according to the invention in longitudinal section.
- FIG. 2a and 2b are plan views of two spring washers suitable for the chuck according to FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 shows the bottom view of an outer sleeve of the chuck according to FIG. 1;
- Figures 4 and 5 the chuck in Figure 1 corresponding views, but with an inserted tool insert and in a holding or partially extended position.
- FIG. 6 shows a view corresponding to FIG. 1 of a second embodiment of the chuck according to the invention.
- a drive element 1 of the chuck designed as a shaft is in one end of a e.g. made of steel attached inner sleeve 2, the other end is designed as an insertion opening 3 for a conventional shaft 4 (Fig. 4.5) of a tool insert 5, in particular a screwdriver bit.
- a spring washer 6 is also attached, which is provided with radially inwardly projecting, flexible spring tongues 7 and 8 (FIGS. 2a, 2b), the ends of which when the shaft 4 is inserted into its locking grooves or locking notches 9 or Snap behind a corresponding shoulder and hold the tool insert in the chuck.
- an outer sleeve 10 which is not rotatable relative to it, but is axially displaceable and expediently also made of steel.
- this is provided with an inwardly projecting pin 12 which projects into an axially parallel longitudinal groove 11 or an axially parallel elongated hole of the inner sleeve 2.
- the outer sleeve 10 has an end wall 14 with an opening 15 for the shaft 4, from which projects an annular extension 16 which faces the insertion opening 3 of the inner sleeve 2.
- the opening 15 and the annular extension 16 have an inner contour that adapted to the cross-sectional profile of the shaft 4 and aligned flush with the inner contour of the insertion opening 3.
- the shaft 4 is guided during insertion into the insertion opening 3 both by this and by the opening 15 lying in front of it or the extension 16 in such a way that there is positive locking in the direction of rotation. It is therefore possible to insert the shaft 4 with one hand, without any rotational movement, into the chuck or to pull it out again.
- the shaft 4 or its end to be inserted into the insertion opening 3 generally have a hexagonal profile, but other profiles are also possible.
- the outer contour of the extension 16 is preferably also designed in accordance with the cross-sectional profile of the shaft 4, in order thereby to make the spring tongues 7 and 8 corresponding to the outer contour of the shaft 4 when the latching connection is released spreading away.
- a e.g. designed as a coil spring ejector spring 17 is used. This is supported at one end on a bottom 18 inserted into the inner sleeve 2, which can also be formed by the drive element 1, while its free end projects into the insertion opening 3 in such a way that it is axially tensioned by the shaft 4 when it is inserted and also remains tensioned in the locked position of the spring tongues 7, 8 by being compressed between the shaft 4 and the base 18.
- the ejection spring 17 can relax and at least partially push the shaft 4 out of the insertion opening 3, so that the tool insert 5 may need to be pulled out a little bit from the chuck.
- an annular, radially elastic inhibiting element 19 e.g. an O-ring. Its inner diameter is such that it is slightly smaller than the outer circle diameter of the profile of the tool insert shank 4.
- a permanent magnet in the form of a ring magnet 20 on the bottom 18 of the inner sleeve 2, as is customary for simple magnet holders for tool inserts.
- the magnetic field of the Magnet is passed through the tool insert 5 and continues in the countersunk screws or the like, which are placed on the working tip of the insert 5.
- the ring magnet 20 is expediently penetrated by the ejection spring 17 and at the same time serves as a stop for the shaft end of the insert 5 in the locked position of the spring tongues 7 and 8
- the force of the ejection spring 17 must be such that it can overcome the holding force of the ring magnet 20 when the latching connection is released.
- the spring washer 6 can be of any design and can be attached to the end of the inner sleeve 2 forming the insertion opening 3. In a variant of the
- Spring washer 6 corresponds to the connecting line of the spring tongue ends to the cross-sectional profile of the shank 4 of the tool insert 5 (FIG. 2b), as a result of which the engagement over the circumference of the shank 4 becomes more uniform and the release from the engagement position becomes safer.
- the intermediate piece 21 essentially has an outer contour corresponding to the inner contour of the insertion opening 3a and has a certain undersize, so that it is easy to move axially.
- the upper side of the intermediate piece 21 facing away from the bottom 18a is designed as a stop surface 22 (FIG. 6) for the shank 4a of the tool insert 5a.
- means are provided which limit the axial displaceability of the intermediate piece 21 on both sides.
- these means contain a groove 23, which is attached to the outer circumference of the intermediate piece 21 and is parallel to the longitudinal axis and closed at both ends, into which a stop pin 24 fastened to the inner sleeve 2a and projecting radially inward ends.
- the length of the axial groove 23 thus determines the axial displacement path of the intermediate piece 21.
- the stop pin 24, similar to the pin 12 according to FIGS. 1 to 5, can prevent the outer sleeve 10a from rotating on the inner sleeve 2a and, for this purpose, radially outward in a direction relative to the longitudinal axis parallel elongated hole 25 of the outer sleeve 10a closed at both ends protrude.
- the intermediate piece 21 preferably has a recess machined from the stop surface 22, into which a bar magnet 26 is inserted, which has the same function as the ring magnet 20 according to FIGS. 1 to 5 and is preferably flush with the stop surface 22.
- the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 to 8 has the particular advantage that the axial forces acting on the insert 5 when working are at least partially caused by the intermediate piece 21, which is made of any suitable material, i. not only have to be picked up by the magnet 26, which mostly consists of a brittle magnetic material that can be destroyed under certain circumstances by axial forces acting in a shock-like manner.
- the ejection spring 17a does not have to work against the force of the magnet 26, contrary to FIGS. 1 to 5, if such is desired, since it moves the intermediate piece 21 together with the bar magnet 26 into a removal position for the tool insert 5a (FIG. 8).
- the bar magnet 26 is designed such that the tool insert 5a can be easily removed from the bar magnet 26 in the removal position.
- the strength of the ejection spring 17 can be selected independently of the magnetic force.
- the inhibiting element 19 can also be omitted if necessary, because in this case the tool insert 5a is still held by the bar magnet 26 in the removal position.
- the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described, which can be modified in many ways. This applies in particular to the illustrated cross sections of the various parts, the design and arrangement of the ejection springs 17 and 17a, the anti-rotation elements between the two sleeves 2, 2a and 10 or 10a, the magnets 20, 26 and the intermediate piece 21 that the different parts can also be used in combinations other than those shown and described.
