Abstract
A chuck device includes a tube with a plurality of inclined holes defined therethrough and a plurality of clamping members are respectively inserted in the inclined holes. Each clamping member has teeth defined in an outside thereof. A nut is mounted to the tube and has threads defined in an inner periphery thereof so as to be engaged with the teeth of the clamping members. A groove is defined in the inner periphery of the nut and balls are received in the groove. A pressing ring is received in the nut and positions the balls. A sleeve is mounted to the nut and has protrusions on an inner periphery of the sleeve, the protrusions being engaged with notches defined in an outer periphery of the nut. When rotating the sleeve, the nut is rotated to move the clamping members.
Description
- The present invention relates to a chuck device wherein a nut has threads for engaged with teeth of clamp members, and a groove for receiving balls therein so that the nut is rotated smoothly.
- A conventional chuck device for clamping a tool such as a bit is shown in FIG. 5 and generally includes a
tube 10 with inclined holes defined therethrough and the holes communicate with a central passage of thetube 10. Each of the holes has aclamping member 11 movably received therein and eachclamping member 11 hasteeth 12 defined in a periphery thereof. Anut 13 is mounted to thetube 10 and has threads defined in an inner periphery thereof, the threads of thenut 13 are engaged with theteeth 12 of each of theclamping members 11. Abearing 14 is located between thenut 13 and a flange of thetube 10, so that thenut 13 can be rotated smoothly. Asleeve 15 is mounted to thenut 13 and thetube 10, thesleeve 15 is co-rotatably connected to thenut 13 so that when rotating thesleeve 15, thenut 13 is rotated to move theclamping members 11. However, because thenut 13 is cooperated with thebearing 14, and the manufacturers have to preparebearings 14 besides thenuts 13, thetubes 10, theclamping members 11 and thesleeves 15. Thebearings 14 make the cost of manufacture of the chuck on a high level. Besides, the assembly for thebearing 14 and thenut 13 requires skilled persons and takes a lot of time. A tolerance between thebearing 14 and thenut 13 will affect the friction between these two parts and could generate noise. - In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a chuck device and comprises a tube having a central passage and a plurality of inclined holes which communicate with the central passage. A plurality of recesses are defined in an outer surface of the tube and communicate with the inclined holes. A plurality of clamping members are respectively inserted in the inclined holes and each clamping member has teeth defined in an outside thereof. The teeth are accessed in the recesses. A nut is mounted to the tube and has threads defined in an inner periphery thereof. The threads are engaged with the teeth of the clamping members. A groove is defined in the inner periphery of the nut so as to receive balls therein which are positioned by a pressing ring. An engaging groove is defined in the inner periphery of the nut and a C-shaped clamp is engaged with the engaging groove so as to position the pressing ring.
- The primary object of the present invention is to provide a chuck device wherein the bearing is make with the nut as a one-piece member.
- The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, two preferred embodiments in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded view to show a chuck device of the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view to show the chuck device of the present invention;
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross sectional view to show how the balls are positioned in the nut by the pressing ring;
- FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross sectional view to show another embodiment of the pressing ring, and
- FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view to show a conventional chuck device.
- Referring to FIGS.1 to 3, the chuck device of the present invention comprises a
tube 20 having acentral passage 21 and a plurality of inclined holes 22 are defined through thetube 20 and communicate with thecentral passage 21. A plurality ofrecesses 23 are defined in an outer surface of thetube 20 and communicate with the inclined holes 22. A plurality of clampingmembers 30 are respectively inserted in the inclined holes 22 and eachclamping member 30 hasteeth 31 defined in an outside thereof. Theteeth 31 of each of theclamping members 30 is accessed in therecesses 23 and a tip end of each of theclamping members 30 is movable in thecentral passage 21 so as to clamp a tool or a bit in thecentral passage 21. - A
nut 40 is mounted to thetube 20 and hasthreads 41 defined in an inner periphery thereof. Thethreads 41 are engaged with theteeth 31 of theclamping members 30. Agroove 42 is defined in the inner periphery of thenut 40 and a plurality ofballs 43 are received in thegroove 42. Theballs 43 are positioned by apressing ring 44. Thepressing ring 44 has acontact surface 47 which is designed to retain theballs 43. The contact surface of thepressing ring 44 can also be made to be acurve surface 49 such as shown in FIG. 4. Anengaging groove 48 is defined in the inner periphery of thenut 40 and a C-shaped clamp 45 is engaged with theengaging groove 48 so as to position thepressing ring 44. - A plurality of
notches 46 are defined in an outer periphery of thenut 40 and asleeve 50 is mounted to thenut 40. Thesleeve 50 hasprotrusions 51 extending from an inner periphery thereof and engaged with thenotches 46 of thenut 40. Therefore, when rotating thesleeve 50, thenut 40 is rotated and theclamping members 30 are moved by the engagement of thethreads 41 of thenut 40 and theteeth 31 of theclamping members 30. - The
balls 43 are received in thegroove 42 in thenut 44 so that the assembling processes and cost of manufacturing are simplified and reduced. - While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
