Definitions
- This invention relates to combination bit/holders used in road milling, mining and trenching and, more particularly, to diamond coated tungsten carbide inserts and structure for mounting them as part of a unitary bit/holder combination, tool, and/or pick assembly.
- a later version of the present applicant's prior invention of a quick change shank such as found in the 6,371,567 patent is provided in combination with a diamond tip and found at the Hall et al patent 8,118,371 .
- a tool that includes a body comprising an annular trough and a forward extension axially extending from the annular trough to a forward end of the body; a shank extending axially from a bottom of the body; and an annular tungsten carbide ring comprising a ring bore, the forward extension extending through the ring bore, and the annular tungsten carbide ring adapted to be seated and brazed in the annular trough of the body.
- a combined diamond coated bit/holder is shown, generally at 15, in its completed form together with a female cup insertion-removal member 16 and its accompanying drift pin 17, which extends through the hollow open bottom 18 of the female cup member through aperture 20 and through a body 21 of the combined bit/holder at bore 22 for insertion into a bit block (not shown) which, in turn, is mounted on a rotatable drum (not shown).
- a first embodiment of the combination diamond coated bit/holder 15 includes a holder base 21 having an upper body portion 23 and a lower shank portion 24.
- the upper and lower shank portion are both made of 4140, 4340, or similar steel.
- the lower shank portion 24 is a hollow, generally cylindrical member having at least one slot 25 extending axially through the side of the hollow shank from the distal end upwardly toward the top of the shank portion.
- a second, wholly internal slot 26 may be positioned preferably 180 degrees around the shank from the first slot extending in an axial direction similar to the first slot 25, however, starting from a position in spatial relation upwardly from the bottom distal end of the shank as shown at 26 in Fig. 2 .
- the shank 24 includes a lower resilient bit block bore engaging portion 27, and a millable shank portion 28 which may in this embodiment be a few thousandths of an inch.
- An uppermost part of the shank 30 immediately adjacent the larger body portion 21 includes a generally cylindrical portion having an annular outer surface sized to be press fit into the top of the bit block bore (not shown).
- the interference fit between the bottom shank portion 27 and a bit holder bore is substantially larger than a standard interference fit (.001 - .003) for a solid shank, extending approximately .012 to .030 inches for a nominal 1-1/2 inch diameter shank for use in road milling.
- the upper or body portion 21 of the holder 15 includes a radially extending annular flange 31 defining the bottom of what is termed in the industry as a tire portion, diametrically the widest segment of a holder (about 2-5/8 inch for a road milling holder).
- the height of the tire portion may approximate 1 ⁇ 2 inch and includes a pair of opposing wedge shape cutouts or wedge extraction notches 19-19.
- the body From the top of the tire portion, the body generally slopes radially inwardly at 32 and upwardly to perform a ramp-like function with the aim of moving material, macadam, concrete, etc. outwardly from the forward tip of the diamond covered leading portion 33 of the bit/holder.
- the mid section of the upper body portion of the holder 23 includes a generally cylindrical segment having at the bottom thereof a cross or through hole 22 substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the holder.
- This cross hole 22 extends horizontally through the body portion and forms a receiver for a drift pin 17, shown most clearly in Fig. 1 used in connection with the cup portion of a bit/holder insertion tool 16, a part of which is also shown in Fig. 1 , and which will be discussed in more detail below.
- This upper cylindrical segment 23 of the preferred holder body 21 is, with the exception of the through hole 22 mentioned previously, generally solid and provides a substantial portion adding bulk and toughness to the combination bit/holder 15.
- the upper surface 34 of the holder is also made of the same steel as the remainder of the holder and includes an annular trough 35 in which an annular tungsten carbide sleeve 36 is positioned and brazed in place.
- the trough provides a retainer for an annular braze disk (not shown) which when melted adheres the base of the annular tungsten carbide ring 36 to the trough bottom.
- tungsten carbide ring Radially inwardly of the tungsten carbide ring is an annular steel axially extending flange 37 that includes a central tapered cutout portion 38.
- a reverse taper tungsten carbide insert 40 is fitted into that tapered bore 38 and brazed therein.
- the top 41 of the tungsten carbide insert 40 extends substantially beyond the top 42 of the steel annular ring 37 and with the exception of a generally cylindrical recess 43 in the top surface thereof is constructed substantially similar to the cutting tool bit shown and disclosed in the present inventor's issued patent 6,739,327 .
- the tungsten carbide reverse taper insert 40 provides a toughened insert for holding a commercially available diamond coated tip 44 which has a generally cylindrical tungsten carbide base 45 and a diamond coated tip which may be conical 33, flat 46 or oval 47 in cross section as shown in Fig. 2 .
- the base 45 of the tip insert 33 is brazed into the tungsten carbide reverse tapered insert member 40.
- the combination diamond tip bit/holder 15 shown in Figs. 4 and 5 is exactly the same as that described in Figs. 1-3 .
- What is shown in Figs. 4 and 5 is the mounting of the female or cup shape bit portion 16 of a bit insertion/removal tool, generally at 49, ( Fig. 7 ) as it appears mounted on the top or holder body 21 of the combination bit/holder 15 together with the drift pin 17 positioned through the central portion 21 of the holder body and the outer annular wall of the cup or female insertion-removal member 16.
- the female member 16 is generally cup shaped, having an outer cylindrical wall 50 and an inner, generally cylindrical bore 51 or hollow portion sized to rather loosely fit over the outside of the top 21 of the holder body 15 with a generally flared distal portion 18 sized to fit over the sloped segment 32 of the bottom of the holder body upwardly adjacent the tire portion thereof.
- a bore 20-20 horizontally through the walls of the female cup member 16 is sized and positioned to align with the through or cross bore 22 in the holder body 16 to allow a drift pin 17 to be loosely (slidably) positioned therethrough.
- the upper hollow or bored out portion of the cup member body fits over the diamond coated bit 33, tungsten carbide insert 40, and the tungsten annular ring 36 at the recess 35 in the top wall 34 of the holder body 21.
- the upper portion of the cup is, in this embodiment, tapered to a frustoconical shape 53 having a generally flat upper surface 54.
- the female or cup portion 16 includes an upper threaded bore 55 centrally therethrough which is adapted to receive an Acme threaded rod 56 therein as a part of a bit insertion/removal tool 50.
- a nut 57 is threaded on the rod and tightened against the upper annular wall of the cupped member 16 to secure same thereon.
- the Acme threaded rod 56 extends from the female cup member 16 to a distal stop 58 on the opposite end of the Acme threaded rod.
- a dual handle hammer member 60 having a central annular portion 61 with a central bore 62 therethrough slightly larger than the outer dimension of the Acme thread for sliding along the threaded rod 56. 180 degrees apart on opposite sides of the annular central member are mounted hand holds 63-64 perpendicularly to the bore through the central member 61, each having a form fitting grip on its distal end.
- the double hand hold slider 60 may be quickly moved axially along the Acme threaded rod 56 and rammed onto the stop 58 at the distal end thereof to provide axial hammer type outward force to enable the removal of the bit holder 15 from its respective bit block bore (not shown).
- a first modification of the diamond coated bit/holder 15 of the present invention shown in Figs. 1-5 is substantially identical to the holder 21, tungsten carbide ring 36, and tip 33 of that embodiment.
- the only difference being the mounting of a steel receiving cup 65 being about 3/8 - 1 inch, in height, that is brazed into the forward recess 43 of the reverse taper insert 40.
- the diamond coated tip 33, 33a, 46 and 47 is brazed into the hollow cup forward portion 66 of the steel cup insert 65.
- the reasoning behind the addition of the cup shaped thick bottom 67 of the steel insert 65 relates to the ductility of the steel vs. the non-ductility of the tungsten carbide insert 40.
- the use of a solid bottomed 67 steel cup 65 member allows the ductility of that thick cylindrical bottom pad to cushion the repeated hammer blows received at the diamond coated tip 33a.
- bit/holder 15 This added ductility to the tip end 33a of the bit allows that bit/holder 15 to be used not only in removing MacAdam, but also in removing a concrete and other hardened and non-homogenous materials, thus giving added life and a widened field of use for the bit/holder combination 15 over previously known diamond coated bits.
- tungsten carbide to steel to tungsten carbide sequence of the disclosed modification yields substantially stronger bonds than brazing tungsten carbide to tungsten carbide.
- a second modification 15a of the present invention is generally shown.
- the portion of the holder including the shank 24a, tire portion 31a, mid and most of the upper body portion 23a of the holder 15a are identical to that shown in the first embodiment.
- the axially extending upper annular flange 68 of the holder 15a immediately inwardly adjacent the tungsten carbide protective ring 36a is substantially solid with the exception of a generally cylindrical recess 64 sized for the fitting of the diamond covered commercial insert 33a which may be brazed therein.
- This modification of the uppermost portion of the holder body provides a substantial steel mounting for the diamond coated tungsten carbide body tip 33a.
- This substantial steel upper portion 68 provides added ductility, even more so than the steel thick bottomed cup 65 shown in Fig. 6 .
- This increased ductility acts as a shock absorber for the diamond coated tungsten carbide tip 33, 33a, 46 and 47 enabling same to be used in more than just the asphalt or macadam removal, which was a limitation to the use of previously known diamond coated bit tips in road milling.
- the steel to tungsten carbide braze joint between the tip and the holder body is stronger than a tungsten carbide to tungsten carbide braze joint.
- the bit/holder 15a shown in Figs. 9 and 10 is shown as it appears after use in the field has started. In use, the bit/holder 15a wears adjacent its tip insert 33a.
- the steel annular ring 68 which forms the top of the upper body 23a of the bit/holder wears away quickly during use, as shown at 68a in Fig. 11 , somewhat similarly to upper portion 66 of cup 65 shown in Figs. 6, 6a, and 6b , to the extent where it generally coincides with the top surface of the tungsten carbide annular ring 36a after use.
- the purpose of the extended initial portion of the steel annular ring 68 shown in Figs. 9 and 10 is to seat the diamond tipped insert 33a in its recess 64 as shown in Fig. 10 .
- the tungsten carbide annular ring 36a is seated in its recess 69 at the top of the body portion 23a with a ring of brazing material between that recess and the bottom of the annular ring 36a.
- a combination of the holder and tungsten carbide annular ring are heated to between 1,650-2,000 degrees F. in the first operation to join those parts of the bit holder together into a unitary structure.
- the tungsten carbide ring and holder are quenched and tempered to a hardness of RC 40-48, in a separate heat treatment process.
- the PCD or diamond insert 33a is positioned in recess 64 preferably over a silver brazing disc (not shown). This combination is then heated between 1,000-1,300 degrees F. by an induction heater (not shown) which encircles the upper tip portion of the bit holder 15a.
- the flow of heat through the annular steel ring 68 more effectively magnetically couples to the iron in the steel in the ring 68 to transfer heat to the tungsten carbide. The heat more efficiently goes through the steel to melt the flux and braze material between the insert 33a and the recess 64 of the forward tubular portion of the steel ring body 68.
- a third embodiment of a combination diamond coated axially shortened bit 100 and bit holder 102 of the present disclosure forms a unitary structure bit and bit holder construction of a bit/holder, tool, and/or pick 104 ( FIG. 13 ).
- the third embodiment of the bit holder 102 comprises a body 106 and a generally cylindrical hollow shank 108 depending from a bottom of the body 106.
- the shank 108 includes an elongate first slot 110 extending from a generally annular distal end 112 of the shank 108 axially upward or forward to an upper termination 114, which in this embodiment is adjacent the upper or forward end of the shank 108.
- the shank 108 also includes an internally oriented second slot 116 located approximately 180 degrees around the annular shank 108 from the first slot 110.
- the second slot 116 is generally parallel to the first slot 110 and is an internal slot including a rearward semicircular termination 118 inwardly adjacent the distal end 112 of the shank 108 and a forward semicircular termination 120 (not shown) generally coinciding longitudinally and axially with the upper termination 114 of the first slot 110.
- the shank 108 includes a lower or first tapered portion 122 running axially from a stepped shoulder 124 adjacent the distal end 112 of the shank 108.
- the stepped shoulder 124 is disposed between the lower tapered portion 122 and the distal end 112.
- a diameter of the stepped shoulder 124 increases, or steps up, in this embodiment, as it axially extends from the distal end 112 to the lower tapered portion 122.
- the first tapered portion 122 runs upwardly or axially from the stepped shoulder 124 of the shank 108 and terminates generally mid first slot 110 longitudinally.
- the shank 108 also includes an annular shoulder 126 separating the lower tapered portion 122 from an upper or second tapered portion 128 which extends from the shoulder 126 to generally adjacent to the top of the shank 108 or forward terminations 114, 120 of slots 110, 116, respectively.
- the annular shoulder 126 is disposed between the lower tapered portion 122 and the upper tapered portion 128.
- a diameter of the annular shoulder 126 decreases, or steps down, in this embodiment, as it axially extends from the lower tapered portion 122 to the upper tapered portion 128.
- the lower portion 122 and/or the upper portion 128 of the shank 108 may comprise a generally cylindrical shape, a slight draw angle, or a slight draft angle.
- the shank 108 can comprise many different configurations.

- the top of the shank 108 may include a rounded junction 134 between the top portion 130 of the shank 108 and the generally annular flange 132 of the body 106 of the bit holder 102, which is provided to avoid sharp corners which may provide an area for stress cracks to begin.
- the generally annular flange 132 includes a pair of horizontal slots or wedge extraction notches 136-136 generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the combination bit/holder, one on either side of the generally annular flange 132.

- a central bore 138 longitudinally and axially extending through the shank 108 of the bit holder 102 terminates at bore termination 140, which in this illustrated embodiment has a conical shape, which is approximately at the upper end of the shank 108. This allows the generally C-shaped annular sidewall of the shank 108 to radially contract when the shank 108 is mounted in a tapered and/or cylindrical bore in a base block (not shown).
- the bit holder body 106 includes a generally cylindrical or annular upper body portion 142 depending from a forward end 144 of the upper body portion 142.
- a mediate body portion 146 subjacent the upper body portion 142 generally slopes axially and radially outwardly to a radially extending generally cylindrical tire portion 148.

- the bore 162 of the annular tungsten carbide ring 150 may comprise a cylindrical upper section 168 and an outwardly tapered bottom section 170, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 .
- An axial length 172 of the ring 150 corresponding to the generally cylindrical top inner portion 168 of the bore 162 of the ring 150, is designed to maintain radial support after being brazed.
- the clearance between the inner diameter of the bore 162 of the annular tungsten carbide ring 150 and the outer diameter of a cylindrical top portion 164 of the forward extension 156 is, in the exemplary implementation, approximately in the range of 0.003 to 0.012 inch per side depending on where the measurement is axially taken.
- the top or forwardmost portion of the forward extension 156 of the bit holder body 106 terminates generally at a forward end 174 of the bit holder body 106 of the bit holder 102, located above the forward portion 176 of the annular tungsten carbide ring 150.
- the bore 162 of the annular tungsten carbide ring 150 may comprise a continuous taper (not shown) from the bottom of the bore 162 to the forward portion of the annular tungsten carbide ring 150.

- the generally cylindrical top portion 164 which forms the unitary steel forward end of the tubular portion of the diamond tool body, includes a bore 178 that axially extends from the forward end 174 to a bore termination 180, which in this exemplary implementation is flat, adjacent the outwardly tapered bottom portion 166.
- the bore 178 provides a space for receiving the complementary shaped bit 100.
- the bit tip insert 100 comprises a base 182 and a tip 184 adjacent the base 182 that includes a parabolic curved section below an apex of the bit tip insert 100.
- This tip 184 can have a frustoconical shape, a flat generally cylindrical puck shape, a parabolic ballistic shape, a conical shape, and/or an arcuate shape.
- the base 182 includes a generally cylindrical sidewall 186 and a tapered section 190 that extends from the cylindrical sidewall 186 to a generally flat distal end 188 of the bit tip insert 100.
- the base 182 can include a tapered sidewall and the distal end 188 of the bit tip insert 100 can be conical, frustoconical, arcuate, or have a different configuration.
- the bit tip insert 100 can have a diameter in the range of 1/2 inch to 1-3/8 inches.
- the bit tip insert 100 may be a tungsten carbide insert or may be a tungsten carbide insert that includes an overlay 192 ( FIG. 16 ) of a polycrystalline diamond structure that is applied to an outer surface of the tip 184.
- the overlay 192 may be a single coating or outer layer or multiple coatings or outer layers of such industrial diamond material, natural diamond, polycrystalline diamond (PCD) material, and polycrystalline diamond composite or PCD material.
- the annular tungsten carbide ring 150 is positioned around the forward extension 156 and brazed in the annular trough 154 of the bit holder body 106.
- the base 182 and the sidewall 186 of the bit tip insert 100 is brazed in the bore 178 of the forward extension 156 at the same time as the carbide ring 150 is brazed, using, for example, a disc shaped or ring shaped braze material, and also creating a high strength braze joint 196 ( FIG. 13 ), which may then be optionally hardened.
- This braze joint secures the bottom of the tungsten carbide base 182 of the bit tip insert 100 to the bore termination 180 of the bore 178 of the cylindrical top portion 164 of the forward extension 156 , at the forward end 174 of the diamond tool body 106.
- the annular sidewall 194 of the cylindrical top portion 164 of the forward extension 156 remains in place, as shown in FIG. 13 , after brazing the bit tip insert 100 in the bore 178, however, the annular sidewall 194 will be quickly worn away by the abrasive action of the cut material.
- a fourth embodiment of a combination diamond coated axially shortened bit 100 and bit holder 200 of the present disclosure forms a unitary structure bit and bit holder construction of a bit/holder, tool, and/or pick 104 ( FIG. 15 ).

- This braze joint secures the distal end 252 of the tungsten carbide extension plug 248 to the bore termination 240 and to the bore 238 of the forward extension 232 , adjacent the forward end 174 of the diamond tool body 106.
- the three parts, the bit tip insert 100, the tungsten carbide ring 150, and the tungsten carbide extension plug 248, are brazed together in a one step brazing process.
- the annular sidewall 194 of the cylindrical top portion 234 of the forward extension 232 remains in place, as shown in FIG. 19 , after brazing the combination bit tip insert 100 and tungsten carbide extension plug 248 in the bore 238, however, the annular sidewall 194 will be quickly worn away by the abrasive action of the cut material. This sidewall 194 can also be machined away after brazing.
- the term "or” is intended to mean an inclusive “or” rather than an exclusive “or”. That is, unless specified otherwise, or clear from context, "X includes A or B” is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X includes A; X includes B; or X includes both A and B, then “X includes A or B” is satisfied under any of the foregoing instances. In addition, "X includes at least one of A and B” is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X includes A; X includes B; or X includes both A and B, then "X includes at least one of A and B" is satisfied under any of the foregoing instances.
